July 5th.
The ceremony of promotion to core disciple that Lixia mentioned came, and Kashu, led by the deputy sect master Summer, met the sect master of the Wind Elephant Sect who had been in seclusion for many years. He was a tall and strong middle-aged man with bronze skin and muscles all over his body like cast cement pillars.
Just by standing in front of the sect leader, Kaxiu could feel an intense sense of oppression, an aura and spiritual oppression.
Fortunately, the sect leader, Belon, did not seem as serious and old-fashioned as imagined. When he saw Kaxiu, he often smiled and occasionally asked about Kaxiu's cultivation like an elder. He also praised Kaxiu's contribution to the Fengxiang Sect more than once.
Obviously, this last point is the main reason why Veron treats Kaxiu so well. Not only because of the importance of herbs, but also because he wants to show a certain attitude.
Reward those who have made contributions, and more people will make contributions.
That's probably the situation.
Sect Master Belon also asked about Kashu's root bone, of course, this refers to the root bone after using the Wind Elephant Pill. After learning that Kashu's root bone was above average, his attitude became obviously more enthusiastic. The subsequent series of rituals of worshiping the sect master and ancestors were also logical.
There are only ten core disciples in each generation of the Fengxiang Sect, and they will be in charge of the operation of the Fengxiang Sect in the future. There are already four core disciples in this generation of the Fengxiang Sect, and Kaxiu will be the fifth. All resources will be provided to the core disciples of the sect first, including the extremely precious potions and pills on weekdays.
Of course, I guess the potion won’t be precious anymore in a few months.
That afternoon, after the ceremony, Kaxiu received two light blue clothes. They were very tough and made of fine fabric. These two clothes represented the status of core disciples, which was equivalent to the high-level members of the Wind Elephant Sect. However, the clothes were not fighting clothes, so there was a slight difference.
At night, he placed the two clothes and the wind ivory pendant in front of Lisha's desk. This wind ivory pendant was not the ordinary ivory pendant, it was not pure white, but painted light blue at the end.
Used to distinguish core disciples from other ordinary disciples.
Lixia seemed to have some feelings about these things, and she looked at the light blue wind ivory pendant for a long time. Finally, Kashu decided to give Lixia a set of clothes representing the core disciples. This time was quite rare, and Teacher Lixia actually accepted it silently.
Is it similar to parents collecting certificates when they see their children get good grades? Kaxiu thinks so, but not really.
There was pride, and perhaps there were other deeper reasons. He saw a hint of regret in Teacher Lixia's eyes.
On July 15th, the weather was clear and breezy.
Under Lisha's instruction, Kashu began to practice with the tranquilizing incense. It was indeed a precious supplement. After just a short period of using it, Kashu's practice of the Wind Elephant Fist made rapid progress. From morning to night, he was constantly inspired and couldn't stop practicing. In the end, Lisha knocked him unconscious and he fell asleep.
This was the case for the first few days. My brain was too active to fall asleep, and I had to rely on Lixia's fist to fall asleep every time.
On July 20th, the weather was cloudy and there was heavy rain in the evening.
In the morning, Kashu was called to the quiet room by teacher Lisha, and first he made a vow. The general content was to devote his body and mind to martial arts, inherit the teacher's path, and strive to improve and carry forward. Finally, he must not spread it to others, even to his junior brothers and sisters. If he violated the rules, Lisha would personally clean up the door.
After the oath, Lisha taught Kashu a magical skill called "Blue Wind Airflow". Of course, it was just the basics now. If Kashu wanted to use it, he had to at least practice the Wind Elephant Secret Martial Arts to the first level and consolidate it.
During this process, Lisha demonstrated the power of the Blue Wind Airflow to arouse Kashu's interest. She gently pressed her palm on the top of the wooden man, and in a moment, the head of the wooden man was shaved flat. The tough solid wood was as thick as a head!
The cross section is extremely smooth. If it were pressed on a person...
On August 5th, the weather turned from cloudy to overcast.
After twenty days of frequent practice, Kaxiu used up a stick of calming incense, and was scolded by teacher Lixia.
However, the gains were huge. The practice of Wind Elephant Fist increased by 15%, breaking through half of the progress and rushing towards 55%. The effect of Wind Elephant Pills also began to show, and the effect of superior root bones combined with the tranquilizing incense was remarkable.
On August 10th, the weather was sunny and the sun was strong.
More than a month later, after the effects of the first Hundred Medicinal Body Refining Paste and Wind Elephant Pills had worn off, with teacher Lixia's permission, Kashu decisively swallowed the second Hundred Medicinal Body Refining Paste.
"Elephant Soul Secret Art: Spikes 77.1% (three layers in total)" → "Elephant Soul Secret Art: Spikes 91.2% (three layers in total)"
"Wind Fist: Gale 54.3% (three layers in total)" → "Wind Fist: Gale 62.3% (three layers in total)"
As expected, the effect was reduced by half. The progress of the Elephant Soul Secret Art increased by less than 15%, and the progress of the Wind Elephant Fist increased by 8%. However, Kaxiu did not feel any gap. After all, the secret martial arts became more and more difficult as they progressed, and it was already very good that the effect of the Hundred Medicine Body Refining Paste could be maintained at about half of the original.
There will be another week of rapid growth period after that. If Kaxiu works hard, he may be able to save a few more months of hard training time.
August 20th, strong wind and thunderstorm.
During the morning routine exercise, Kashu found a tuft of white hair on Lixia's head. When he came to the exercise room in the afternoon, he heard a violent cough coming from inside. In the evening, Kashu found a chance to ask. But Lixia said she just caught a cold.
September 5th was a rainy day with dense clouds.
Lisha's coughing worsened, and sometimes she couldn't help it when she was teaching Kashu the Wind Elephant Fist. In the afternoon, she even coughed up blood. Kashu asked again. Lisha said it was an old respiratory problem.
No matter how Kashu asked, Lisha just insisted on this statement.
September 15th, sunny.
The original owner Levi was 18 years old, and it was his coming-of-age ceremony. Teacher Lisha and Master Summer brought Kashu to Oak City. They had a simple but warm birthday party. Kashu was very happy that night, and he received gifts from them.
Master Summer gave him a sandalwood bracelet that had been worn for many years, and Lisha gave Kashu a pocket watch for the second time.
This silver pocket watch seemed to have special meaning to her.
October 8th, cloudy.
Lixia suddenly fainted while teaching Kashuu, but fortunately Kashuu was beside her and quickly sent her to the hospital. While Lixia was in a coma, he turned his attention to his master Summer.
At first, Summer avoided talking about it, but after Kashu's constant persuasion, he finally told her the reason why Lisha was gradually getting weaker.
An incident that happened more than ten years ago, a traitor. In that incident, Lisha's senior brother died and Lisha was seriously injured.
The traitor fled and changed his name and disappeared from then on.
