Chapter 302 The old man decided to hate Bai Bufan
"It's okay, Grandpa Shanqing. I like to keep my feet on the ground." Lin Li, with his teeth clenched, spoke to Taoist Shanqing with positive energy.
"Yes, with this kind of mind, one can achieve the Great Dao." Taoist Shanqing nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this, and then returned to the previous topic:
"This formation should be controllable by the creator, and its expansion size can be determined with a thought. The fundamental reason why you can only control it a little when you touch the core of the formation is that your cultivation is insufficient.
In fact, normally, Lin Li, you can't drive it with your level of cultivation. It should be your magical power that is behind it."
Lin Li nodded.
Since it is not the most basic formation, it is normal that I cannot fully control it.
Lin Li was not frustrated, he even felt a sense of surprise as he originally thought it was trash but now found out it was a treasure.
Thanks to the system for its support.
But it would be better if he could go to the front next time. Lin Li likes to be at the back.
"This formation will gather the surrounding spiritual energy to the center. The bigger the better. However, it cannot be allowed to expand freely in this deadly place. Once it leaves this mountain boundary, it will be hit by the Wujiu Lightning with a high probability. I can no longer fully control that thing."
Taoist Shanqing continued to explain.
Lin Li nodded. He could not just let it go like that. However, it was not a big problem. Just like before, he just had to focus more on the formation.
“Then I will expand this formation as much as possible within the range of the top of the Upside-Down Mountain, right?
By the way, Grandpa Shanqing, I want to ask, can the formation get close to those flowers on the edge of the mountain top? They seem quite threatening."
Lin Li placed his hand on the core of the formation and began to expand the formation while asking.
"Try to stay away from those flowers," Taoist Shanqing smiled, "This is a natural treasure that was nurtured by the sword energy that escaped from the battle of my Taoist friend a hundred years ago. He named it Qingxiao Flower, and it is extremely earthy.
It has the effect of tempering sword energy, tempering thunder body, and calming the soul. I will wake him up another day and ask him to pick a few flowers for you. Only by picking them can the magic of this thing be preserved to the maximum extent. Although your cultivation is not enough now, there will always be opportunities to use it in the future. "
"Then I'd like to thank Grandpa Shanqing first." Lin Li immediately bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
"There's nothing to thank me for. This is an unowned land, and the three of us are already dead. Your magical power brought you here, and this world is your destined opportunity."
Taoist Shanqing waved his hand.
Since we can't allow it to expand, we can only do the same as before - expand it as much as possible within a controllable range.
Currently, once the formation is allowed to go beyond the controllable range, the components will be out of control and expand outward without looking back. At this time, they can only be taken back to the [warehouse] and reset.
"Lin Li, how much do you know about battle formations?" Taoist Shanqing looked at this scene and asked curiously.
"Eight out of the nine orifices are open - one is blocked." Lin Li told the truth.
"I see," Taoist Shanqing nodded, then picked up his brush and wrote. The gathered spiritual energy came to him on its own and gradually gathered into pages filled with words.
A stack of books appeared in front of Lin Li.
"I have some knowledge of formations. These are the basic knowledge about formations. If you can read them thoroughly, they may be helpful to you."
Taoist Shanqing pointed to the book and explained, then added:
"But I don't know if it can maintain this state after leaving this world. It will most likely dissipate, so it's best to read it here."
Lin Li's eyes lit up.
This is exactly what I need!
"It's okay, Grandpa. My phone has a camera function. I can take a picture and study it slowly when I get home." Lin Li took out his phone and turned on the camera. He said excitedly when he saw that the book was still on the screen and had not disappeared.
So Lin Li began to take pictures page by page and turned on [Strong Recognition] at the same time.
Although he has a [Strong Identification] that allows him to remember everything he sees, Lin Li's reading speed is ultimately not as fast as taking pictures. He opens it now just to get a first impression to facilitate subsequent learning.
"This isn't the old man! Is this an illusion?"
Lin Li was taking pictures when he heard a voice of surprise in front of him.
Looking up, Lin Li discovered that Taoist Shanqing was pointing his phone at him and was now slapping his cheek with his hand.
So Lin Li stepped forward to take a look, then said with a smile: "Grandpa, you just turned on the beauty mode, just turn it off."
"oh oh."
"Ah--"
Not long after he went back to take pictures, Lin Li heard Taoist Shanqing's laughter again.
"What's wrong, Grandpa?"
"Lin Li, is your world's definition of beauty so weird? Why can you call a face like this beautiful?"
Taoist Shanqing looked at his phone happily but with difficulty in looking at it.
Lin Li came over again.
The face with skin smoothing turned to the extreme is transformed into a peeled egg, the face-slimming effect makes the old man's jaw sharper than a flying sword, the eyes almost occupy half of the face in the "big eyes" mode, and there are some ineffective special effects.
Cherry blossoms fell on both sides of his cheeks—some of the petals were even stuck in his suddenly appearing cat ears.
You've turned me into your grandson.
Lin Li came closer and lowered his head, Buhao, this is a challenge, don’t laugh.
After explaining the definition of beauty, Taoist Shanqing finally understood and continued to study the mobile phone.
The content of the scroll was very extensive, and Lin Li spent a lot of time to ensure that all of it was captured clearly.
"Grandpa Shanqing, can you help me look at something else?" After looking through the photo album, Lin Li looked up and asked.
"Of course." Taoist Shanqing flashed in front of Lin Li and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Lin Li noticed from the corner of his eye that the screen of his phone had turned into an angry bird.
The Taoist didn’t watch the documentary either, he just started playing the game first.
Okay, okay, I really gave you something to learn but you don’t want to learn it.
Lin Li manifested the "Holy Dragon Blood Essence" and "Thunder Seed".
When the Holy Dragon's blood essence appeared, Lin Li was still unable to withstand the burning sensation. It was not until the Taoist Shan Qing, who looked much more serious, wrapped it with circles of spiritual power that things started to get better.
Yun Leizi didn't have the same treatment. Although Lin Li still felt the stinging pain, it would not hurt if he pinched it for a short period of time.
"Is this dragon blood? And it's not just any ordinary dragon's blood?" Taoist Shanqing asked in confusion after suppressing his breath.
"Yes, it seems to be the blood of a holy dragon, but I have no idea."
"...was it also given by divine power?"
"Ah."
"Your magical power..." Taoist Shanqing hesitated, "You are really magical and all-powerful. How come you can get everything for you?"
However, he did not feel that Lin Li was fooling him. He knew that Lin Li's magical power was not a magical power in the sense of the immortal cultivation world, but a name given by Lin Li to make it easier for him to understand.
Now it seems more like a secret place with a lot of things inside.
"Whether it is taken, refined, or used as a material, this item is a treasure of the highest grade."
"Even if I were alive, I would have wanted this thing if I saw it, but..." Taoist Shanqing suddenly found it funny:
“Lin Li, this is completely useless to you right now. Don’t try to convince yourself that it worked. You didn’t explode to death after such a close contact just now. It’s already your supernatural power helping you again.”
Lin Li: "?"
Could it be this dangerous?
"Put this back into your 'divine power' first, and don't show it to others on weekdays. If there are other mortals around you in the lower world, it may cause tragedy."
Taoist Shanqing returned the porcelain bottle containing the Holy Dragon's blood to Lin Li:
"When you have a higher level of cultivation in the future, I may be able to help you take this medicine, but it is too early now."
"Thank you, Grandpa. I understand." Lin Li immediately took it back to the [warehouse].
Go eat ashes!
"As for this thing, the Thunder Seed, it contains a little thunder power and can be used to practice thunder magic in the basic stage."
"How do I use it? Can I absorb the lightning force directly? But at this stage, I feel a stinging pain if I hold it for a long time. Is it because my cultivation level is not high enough to use it?" Lin Li asked curiously.
"Oh, young friend, you also know thunder magic?" Taoist Shanqing asked back with a little interest.
Lin Li smiled slightly and shook his head handsomely: "Grandpa, watch out!"
Lin Li's palm gathered into a palm-sized thunder ball, which then smashed to the ground.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
For now, let’s not worry about whether the thunder ball left any traces on the strange black stone on the top of the Inverted Mountain, but just talk about whether the sound was heard.
Louder than firecrackers.
win!
"Grandpa, how do you evaluate my level?" Lin Li put his hands on his hips and laughed.
Taoist Shanqing blinked, raised one hand horizontally, slowly raised his arm, and lightning patterns flowed in the palm of his hand.
The Wujiu Thunder mentioned by the thousands of Taoists lurking outside the Upside-down Mountain gathered in the direction pointed by Taoist Shanqing like a dragon returning to its nest.
When the hand dropped violently again——
"boom!!!"
The purple lightning condensed into a giant crimson-purple blade that pierced the sky and the earth, and slashed down with a loud bang.
The void trembled and the mountains roared, and in an instant, the entire forbidden area was as bright as day.
"..."
"Om-"
"..."
"Lin Li, how do you evaluate Grandpa's level?"
Looking at Lin Li who was rubbing his eyes and making a sound of "ouch", Taoist Shanqing smiled and blinked and asked.
"It seems... a little better than me."
The tinnitus finally subsided. After opening his eyes, Lin Li touched his chin and nodded slowly and seriously.
“Hahahaha——” Taoist Shanqing laughed heartily.
"You kid, you're quite funny."
He saw that Lin Li's exaggerated gesture to show off his mastery of thunder magic was completely intentional.
The purpose is to show off one's skills in front of an expert.
"Hey," Lin Li smiled and touched his neck.
Of course, it was impossible for him to really think that he was very good at thunder magic.
Looking at the sky outside the mountain, Lin Li had a guess: "So, Grandpa, the Wujiu Thunder outside the mountain was formed by the nourishment of the thunder power that escaped from your battle in the past? Is it the same nature as that flower?"
“I guess so. Among the Taoist methods, I am more proficient in thunder magic.” Taoist Shanqing nodded, then picked up the Thunderbolt and briefly introduced it to Lin Li:
"Regarding this Yunleizi, direct absorption is one way, but it is not the best. Combined with the injection of spiritual energy, in this way, see the shell of the base, this way, it can be better absorbed and tempered..."
Lin Li immediately started studying seriously.
"By the way, Lin Li, what kind of thunder magic are you practicing? Did you learn some kind of martial arts? It can't be that you learned it by yourself, or that the supernatural power was directly bestowed upon you?" Taoist Shanqing asked.
"Yes, it's called 'Qingzheng Yulei Fa',"
Lin Li directly manifested the original version of the technique and handed it to Taoist Shanqing.
Taoist Shanqing took it and began to flip through it. He flipped through it very quickly, spending only a few seconds looking at each page.
Lin Li did not disturb Taoist Shanqing, but instead materialized the spirit stone and began to use the Yun Lei Zi according to the method taught by the Taoist.
The effect is remarkable, it’s good to have a teacher.
"Hiss——" On the side, Taoist Shanqing, who was halfway over, made a sound.
"Grandpa Shanqing, what's wrong? Is this technique very basic and low-level?" Lin Li asked, and was prepared for his technique to be demoted.
"It's very basic. There are too many advanced moves in the Thunder Method, and this method doesn't mention it at all. But you said it's low-level, it's definitely not." Taoist Shanqing shook his head, "I just took a look, not only did I not find any mistakes, but I also didn't find any points that could improve its content.
In other words, even I can only perfect and expand it, but cannot improve it.
Even... several of the theories put forward in this technique seem to be more accurate than the understanding of thunder magic that I have studied thoroughly after years of immersion.
There isn't even a single thing that can be corrected... Honestly, if I hadn't lost my real body, cultivation would have been meaningless and ineffective. I would really like to try this "Pure and Righteous Thunder Controlling Body".
Maybe it will help me make further progress on this path.”
Hearing Taoist Shanqing's sigh, Lin Li raised his eyebrows.
I never expected that this skill would be praised so highly by him. "I wanted to teach you my thunder method, but since you have already chosen this path, you might as well continue on. There is no need to change the path. This should be the thunder method that suits you best now."
Taoist Shanqing shook the book of thunder magic and said with a smile:
"Lin Li, next time you come, bring me some paper and pen that I can take back to your world.
After all, its content is still too basic, and it does not mention any more variations of thunder magic.
The upper limit is too low, and your achievements will be limited even if you practice to the end. I will help you improve the subsequent practice content."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Grandpa." Lin Li immediately agreed after hearing this.
This is something you have been longing for.
"Grandpa, could you help me look at these two books of martial arts?" Lin Li was not polite and directly took out the "Eight-Stage Body Tempering Skills" and "Basic Sword Techniques" and handed them to Taoist Shanqing.
"Especially this book 'Eight-stage Body Building Exercises'. I always feel that I haven't practiced it well enough. Can you give me some pointers?"
Perhaps Taoist Shanqing's guidance could be the opportunity to complete this task.
"Wait a minute, let me take a look first."
Taoist Shanqing nodded, took the two books of martial arts and began to read.
……
“Like the Qingzheng Yulei Fa, it is a very good basic skill. Although it is superficial, there are still no mistakes or areas for improvement in its content. At least I can’t do it.
I really want to know the existence of those who can write these things. I think they must have truly mastered one thing and completely returned to the basics. "
Taoist Shanqing sighed softly as he handed the two martial arts books back to Lin Li.
"Lin Li, I can also improve these two books, but they will definitely not be as comprehensive as the Thunder Method. When those two wake up, maybe they can do better than me."
Lin Li nodded in thanks.
Suddenly I feel that the system only looks for HR for blind dates - it really likes to do HR work.
It turned out that such a good thing was given in these skills that laid the foundation of his own cultivation. Lin Li almost thought it was a basic thing that was everywhere in the world of immortal cultivation.
In other words, if you practice by following the system, you will definitely not make mistakes.
"Thank you, Grandpa Shanqing."
Grandpa Shanqing waved his hand and then raised his chin:
"As for what you said about not practicing well enough, show me the 'Eight-stage Body Strengthening Exercises' that you have mastered. There is nothing wrong with the exercise method."
"Ok."
Lin Li nodded, stood in front of Taoist Shanqing, put aside all distracting thoughts, immersed himself, and began to practice.
It would take a long time to complete the eight chapters of "Eight Stages of Physical Training", even six hours would not be enough. Fortunately, Taoist Shanqing stopped Lin Li after he had practiced for half an hour.
"I think I've figured out the problem." Taoist Shanqing said.
"Please teach me, Grandpa." Lin Li said respectfully.
"You lack common sense. To be more precise, you lack common sense in our world."
"Although this 'Eight-stage Body Strengthening Technique' is excellent, it is crude... I can't say it is crude, the writer probably didn't expect that someone from another world would obtain this technique."
"Therefore, it does not clearly explain the breathing rhythm and the way the spiritual energy is circulated, which leads to a lot of flaws in these aspects.
But this is outside the scope of the practice, so it’s not your fault.
It can be seen that you have practiced very seriously, and you have even figured out a simple breathing method without any teacher. Your talent is amazing."
Taoist Shanqing introduced slowly.
Lin Li was stunned.
There really was nothing that could be done about it. These things that were readily available in the world of immortal cultivation were simply out of reach for Lin Li.
As for 'learning without a teacher', it should be something he figured out after his martial arts talent was improved, combined with the experience of the past two months.
"Grandpa, can you teach me?" But now that he has a teacher, he doesn't need to work so hard, Lin Li said to the old man expectantly.
Mr. Fu, I don’t want to work hard anymore.
"Of course." Taoist Shanqing nodded kindly and immediately began to demonstrate:
"First, I'll teach you a breathing method that's suitable for this kind of body-building exercise. Come, learn from me. Guide the spiritual energy into your abdomen like a stream, rather than swelling your chest and blocking your meridians..."
……
"Grandpa Shanqing, the effect is remarkable!" Lin Li, who had opened the door to a new world, was filled with joy.
Suddenly I realized that my efficiency in utilizing the skills was actually very low.
"You have a good understanding and you comprehend things very quickly. Lin Li, remember everything that has just happened. If you practice with these in the future, you will definitely see significant improvement."
Taoist Shanqing also nodded with satisfaction.
Every teacher likes students who are talented and have good grades.
——Except Xue Jian.
If he got the first place in the class in this midterm exam and was still treated with the same attitude as usual, Lin Li would be very angry and secretly cry in his bed.
"It's because of your good teaching, Grandpa," Lin Li flattered.
"Is there anything else I need to look at?"
"Not for now." There is no rush for other things.
Lin Li materialized the "Spirit Gathering Heavenly Array" and said while controlling the array: "Grandpa, then shall I start learning the array knowledge you gave me?"
"Okay, sure. Anyway, if you have any more questions just ask me."
Taoist Shanqing nodded, returned to his laptop and started using his mobile phone.
……
【0.05.00】
The rest of the time flew by in cultivation.
Taoist Shanqing would come and ask Lin Li about the problems he had encountered with his mobile phone and computer every hour or so.
Become proficient very quickly.
While Lin Li was concentrating on controlling the formation, he was also studying the formation knowledge given to him by Taoist Shanqing. Likewise, if there was something he didn't understand, he would ask the old man.
help each other.
In just a few hours, his control over the "Spirit Gathering Sky Array" was greatly improved, and its range could become even larger.
Task one has made crucial progress, and task three has been growing steadily. The skills that were originally confined to a certain area will be improved in the future.
Everything is moving in the right direction, so cool.
Because there were only five minutes left, Lin Li collected and stored the accumulated spiritual fluid, then stood up and walked towards Taoist Shanqing.
"Ugh!"
When I got close to Taoist Shanqing, I just heard him sigh.
"What's wrong, Grandpa Shanqing?" Lin Li asked with concern.
"Mobile phones are indeed sophisticated, which was hard to imagine before, but... they are still too insensitive. Why do I have to touch the screen with my body when there is no response to spiritual energy? It doesn't make sense."
Taoist Shanqing pointed at the Angry Birds on the screen and said unhappily:
"I don't understand. Why can't this little bird move upwards five more pixels as I wish? That way, I can get a higher score when I launch it."
"My body clearly followed my instructions accurately and moved a distance equivalent to five pixels on the phone, but why didn't it react?"
Lin Li: "..."
Taoist Shanqing, you are also a master of micro-manipulation, right?
The scene of thriving vitality and flourishing of all things is still before Lin Li’s eyes.
"Grandpa Shanqing, aren't you already three stars?" After squatting down and looking at him for a while, Lin Li became even more confused.
"Three stars are not enough. Since there are higher scores to be obtained, how can we let it go so easily? If we are so easily satisfied in practicing Taoism, we will never be able to reach the top!" Taoist Shanqing responded seriously.
Lin Li: "..."
That's quite aspirational.
"How about, Grandpa, can you give it a try for me?" After watching Taoist Shanqing's play for a while, Lin Li spoke.
“Here.” Taoist Shanqing handed the phone to Lin Li and watched expectantly.
Lin Li's actions were as ferocious as a tiger, and his performance was truly that of a tiger.
"Hey, why does it feel like you, Lin Li, just threw it casually, but your score is so much higher than mine." Taoist Shanqing looked puzzled.
“If the goal is not just three stars but a high score, then there are many things to consider.
Grandpa Shanqing, remember, the scoring mechanism in Angry Birds is that if you continuously destroy multiple targets within 3 seconds, you can trigger a combo and double your score. Although my operation just now was not very careful, I first used the blue bird clone to smash the glass, achieved the basic conditions of the chain, and then detonated the black bird to completely destroy the building structure. This is the key to a high score."
Lin Li handed the phone back and explained.
Taoist Shanqing suddenly realized: "I was saying that, although this little blue bird can split itself, its power is too weak. It can never get high scores. I am disgusted with it."
Lin Li responded with a ding:
"Hey, Taoist, why do you care so much about this scoring mechanism——"
Taoist Shanqing: “?”
Lin Li stopped talking halfway. After all, Taoist Shan Qing would not understand what he said, so he smiled and said, "Taoist, you can't care about the gains and losses of the moment. You have to look at the overall situation. There is no need to pursue the highest score for each bird, but to look at the overall situation."
"I have realized this," Taoist Shanqing nodded, "Thank you for your advice, young friend."
"There are differences in learning and specialization. That's all. Grandpa, I'm leaving now."
Lin Li smiled and waved to Taoist Shanqing.
"it is good."
Then Lin Li disappeared.
"..."
"..."
The old man continued playing Angry Birds.
Angry for a minute.
Taoist Shanqing looked around with a guilty conscience. After making sure that Lin Li had indeed left, he coughed twice and returned to the main interface of his phone.
"Bufan, wake up." The old man said.
"Woof woof, I'm here."
"Help me open and play the pornographic film on my phone."
"Woof, sorry, the current operation does not comply with the laws and regulations. I cannot assist you."
"No, Bufan, the laws of heaven have already collapsed here, what's inconsistent with that?"
Taoist Shanqing became furious. He said, "I have destroyed the laws of this world. What laws are you still going to abide by?"
"Woof woof, sorry, I can't understand what you mean."
"Bufan, you lung fog!"
"Woof, sorry, but I will continue to work hard to improve."
"Then help me find the pornographic videos in my phone, the ones I saw on Lin Li's phone, the ones he skipped last time and didn't let me see them!"
"Woof, sorry, the current operation does not comply with the laws and regulations. I cannot assist you."
"Bufan, you lung fog!"
"Woof, sorry, but I will continue to work hard to improve."
Shanqing Taoist: (╬~皿~)
Forget it, now that things have come to this, let’s continue playing the game.
……
"You stinky little bird, you're also a lung fogger!"
