Any gift in life has already been secretly marked with a price... and free gifts are the most expensive.
People like Qin Ran understand these principles very well.
He looked at the book in Bai Ruoxi's hand and understood it in an instant. At first he thought that Bai Ruoxi and Su Changqing wanted to fight, and then proposed that Li Shiyin fight with them. He thought he was doing them a small favor.
Now it seems that it was not Li Shiyin who fought with Bai Ruoxi, but Bai Ruoxi who fought with Li Shiyin. It was a teaching game between Bai Ruoxi and Li Shiyin.
This teaching game was originally supposed to be between Su Changqing and Qin Ran.
He naively thought that they were really excited to see the prey... Now think about it, they are from Lingnan Immortal Sect, what have they not seen
The purpose of their coming here was to have him be their guide to the Hengduan Mountains.
The reward is one lesson and one spell.
Of course, Qin Ran could pretend that he knew nothing and accept the technique with peace of mind, or he could sternly refuse it.
But if you refuse...
That is the complete practice of Lingnan Immortal Sect!
If I pretend to be ignorant and accept the technique with a clear conscience, then...
This is the most expensive free gift!
This technique will become more expensive as Li Shiyin goes further on the path of cultivation. When one day Li Shiyin has gone far enough with this technique and Su Changqing comes to ask for help, no matter how outrageous the request is, they will not be able to refuse.
Qin Ran wanted this kind of martial arts, so he accepted Su Changqing's request.
Because the cost of paying for the gift is the lowest when the reward is just generated.
At this point, it is an equal transaction and does not involve the future.
The deal was that Bai Ruoxi and Li Shiyin would teach a game of chess, along with a set of martial arts techniques, in exchange for Qin Ran being their guide.
Seeing Qin Ran nod, Su Changqing smiled. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, “In that case, I would like to thank Brother Qin in advance.”
Li Shiyin didn't know what was going on. She saw her master nod and took the "War Spirit Art". She knew nothing about the rest, including the inner relationships.
"Although the "Battle Spirit Art" is only a technique created by a senior in the Hedao period, it is indeed exquisite..."
Seeing Li Shiyin taking over the technique, Bai Ruoxi began to explain, "My master passed it on to me.
When I was young, I called it the strongest fighting skill before the Spiritual Transformation Stage. His explanation of technique, power, and law was the only one he had ever seen in his life."
Hedao period? What realm is that? Li Shiyin had never heard of it, so it must be very powerful. What is the strongest fighting skill? The strongest?! How can she afford such a precious thing
Li Shiyin was a little panicked and quickly looked at Qin Ran.
"If someone gives it to you, just take it!" Qin Ran shook his head.
Why are you panicking? What's so worth it? People are using this skill to buy your master's life!
"Time is tight right now. We don't know when the Devouring Demon Willow will begin to merge with the Dao, so we will be heading to the Hengduan Mountains in the next few days. I hope Brother Qin will prepare in advance."
Su Changqing stood up and said goodbye to Qin Ran, "We also need to make some preparations. I'll say goodbye now."
Qin Ran hugged Zhui Feng and stood up to see him off, saying politely, "Brother Su is leaving before the tea is even served. I'm so sorry."
"No, no, come for tea next time." Su Changqing glanced at the refreshing tea on Qin Ran's table without leaving a trace, and said with a smile, "After this matter is over, I will drink tea and wine with Brother Qin and discuss scriptures and Taoism."
“Okay, okay…” Qin Ran replied.
After a few more verbal arguments, Su Changqing took Bai Ruoxi away.
Qin Ran sat down and watched Su Changqing and Bai Ruoxi's backs, the smile on his face gradually disappearing.
"Master, what is this technique?" Li Shiyin asked Qin Ran.
"Practice!" Qin Ran sighed. He tilted his head and saw Li Shiyin's puzzled expression. He shook his head and said to her directly, "Do you really think it was given to you by someone else? Your master paid for it with his life!"
"Ah?" Li Shiyin was shocked and said hurriedly, "Then I won't practice anymore. I will return the skills to them now!"
As she spoke, she was about to fly on her sword to chase after Senior Brother Su Changqing and his sister.
"That's enough!" Qin Ran quickly stopped her and raised his hand to wave, "Let me see."
Li Shiyin stopped as she was told, hesitated for a moment, and then took the "War Spirit Art" and handed it to Qin Ran.
"Just do what you need to do. I'll see if there's anything wrong with this technique." Qin Ran said, "If there's no problem, you can practice it again."
"I'm out of strength." Li Shiyin put away the sword and said.
“Rest when you are out of energy.” Qin Ran said, throwing the detailed explanation of the formation on the table, placing the “War Spirit Art” on Zhuifeng’s fluffy body, and letting go of the first page.
Li Shiyin thought about it and said to Qin Ran
He sat down, reached out to touch the detailed explanation of the formation, and opened it to read.
"War Spirit Art" is not about any specific magical power or technique. In essence, it is a theoretical study of the nature of magic power. It can be said to be a study of magic... magical power
To give a good example, it is a bit like the Dugu Nine Swords in Jin Yong's novel "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". In name it is a magical power, a method, but in reality it is a theory of how to use magic power to fight.
Fighting Spirit Technique, fighting with spirit. That's about it.
The most powerful aspect of this technique is that when practiced to a deep level, the power released by every burst of magic power can be the same as the power released by all the magic power.
In short, it turned out to be a technique that suited Kieran’s taste.
No one knew where Long Qiqi got the boiled water. When Su Changqing and the other man came, they asked her to boil water. Now that Su Changqing and the other man had left, Qin Ran sat down and read two pages of the book. Li Shiyin was about to fall asleep while reading the book, so she ran over with the kettle on her head.
"Are you going to Xuanqin to fetch water?" Qin Ran looked over and said with a smile.
Long Qiqi blushed a little and argued, "Who made your stove so difficult to use? It took me a long time to figure out how to light a fire."
"You've been here for so long, and you can't even make a fire?" Qin Ran asked in amazement. The second half of his words was worthy of being a monster.
Long Qiqi felt ashamed and panicked. He ran without paying attention and stumbled, then fell down like a dog eating shit.
Fortunately, Qin Ran was quick-witted and raised his hand to control Long Qiqi... the water in the kettle above his head, caught the kettle and brought it over.
"Be careful with the boiling water!" he also said.
Long Qiqi fell to the ground with a slap on her face. When she looked up and saw Qin Ran doing this, she couldn't help feeling wronged and couldn't help but burst into tears.
“Ah, wuwu…” She lay on the ground, pouting, looking sad and aggrieved.
Li Shiyin was woken up by them and saw Long Qiqi falling to the ground while the master was boiling water to make tea. She knew what had happened and could not help but blame Qin Ran: "Master, you are going too far!"
As he said this, he stood up and helped Long Qiqi up, then brought Long Qiqi over to sit down.
“Ahem…” Qin Ran didn’t dare to meet Long Qiqi’s aggrieved look. He looked at the “War Spirit Art” and said, “I’m holding Zhuifeng! It’s inconvenient…”
“Meow…” Zhuifeng called softly.
"Daddy's boy!" Long Qiqi cursed quietly.
