Of course, I didn’t dare say these words to Cui Wenjing, for fear that he would beat me to death.
Zhao Changhe could only change his perspective and ask carefully: "I saw that Chi Li, Yue Hongling, and Brother Cui and Brother Situ all took a long time to pass the threshold from the eighth level to the ninth level. Is there any special meaning for this threshold?"
Cui Wenjing said with a straight face: "Why don't you ask your Lady Xia Yue? She is the person involved, doesn't she know more about it than me?"
Zhao Changhe smiled apologetically: "Uncle is an experienced person, and a top master. Why would you ask other people when you have uncle in front of you..."
Cui Wenjing didn’t want to teach. He always felt that if he taught her in this relationship, it would be like saying “Come on, I’ll teach you how to have sex with my daughter”. That’s a weird mentality…
But he is wearing such a high hat... He is the prince and a hero. It seems unreasonable not to teach him a few words both in public and in private.
Cui Wenjing could only speak reluctantly: "The higher you climb, the more tired you will be. Each level is twice as difficult as the previous one. This is normal. Everything is like this. Just like when you were an idiot, it was easy for you to get into the top 200. For the second place to become the first place, it is very difficult..."
Zhao Changhe muttered: "It's not that difficult."
Cui Wenjing: “?”
Zhao Changhe hurriedly tried to make amends: "Well, it's not about me, it's about someone who got first place by lying down..."
Cui Wenjing clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with ferocity.
Zhao Changhe almost hugged his head.
Cui Wenjing took a deep breath, expressionless: "The ninth level of Xuanguan is the pinnacle of human martial arts. The so-called opening of the bridge between heaven and earth, or the cultivation of various special physiques, is actually not the cultivation of one's own strength, but involves more mysterious external forces. Speaking of oneself alone, the ninth level of Xuanguan is the highest achievement, which is naturally not so easy to achieve. First of all, the ninth Xuanguan acupoint is very dangerous."
Zhao Changhe became more alert: "Tian Ling?"
"That's right. Tianling is the intersection of man and heaven, the core gateway of the bridge between heaven and earth. Originally, according to the theory of cultivation, the moment of opening Tianling's gate is not only a sign of the ninth level of the gate, but also involves the key to the secret door. The difficulty of this level lies in that it is the key to succession and carries different meanings."
Zhao Changhe grasped the key point: "In theory?"
Cui Wenjing was very satisfied with his understanding. He looked at him with a complicated expression for a while before sighing, "Yes, because this level is too difficult. In serious cases, one will go into the devil's way and die, while in mild cases, one will go crazy or become an idiot. These are all common things. Therefore, each cultivation method has taken a compromise plan, separating the role of the inheritance and secret treasure, and only retaining the meaning of breaking through one's own strength. This is much simpler, and the secret treasure will be left for later. This also caused the number of people who have reached the ninth level of the Mystical Gate to explode. In fact, they are not at the ninth level of the Mystical Gate in the true sense, but are just half-baked."
Zhao Changhe understood: "The reason why Yue Hongling and others were stuck here for a long time is because they are not satisfied with this half-baked state. Their ninth level is the real ninth level. So even though they are stuck in the ninth level for a long time, it is relatively easy for them to break through the secret treasure in the future. However, for others who took shortcuts, breaking through the secret treasure becomes more difficult than expected. As a result, there are many people in the ninth level but not many secret treasures, and the list of people cannot be filled."
Cui Wenjing clapped his hands and said, "That's right... There is no such thing as a natural barrier. In fact, it is all man-made. In short, the ninth level of the Mysterious Pass is at least the limit for ordinary people. If you pursue this level, you are already a local overlord. It doesn't seem necessary to risk your life to pursue a secret treasure that only a hundred people among millions of people can find."
Zhao Changhe smiled slightly and ignored it.
Cui Wenjing glanced at him, knowing that he would never be satisfied with the half-baked ninth level. In fact, he had already glimpsed the door to the secret treasure, and it would not be very difficult for him to reach the real ninth level, but it still required a certain opportunity.
After all, the heavenly spirit is still the heavenly spirit, and it cannot be forced by force. It requires a certain level of perception and the right situation to make it come naturally. Otherwise, it is very easy to go astray and become an idiot.
As for how to find the insights... it is possible that you can't get them even after many years. Of course, Cui Wenjing felt that this kind of thing would not happen to Zhao Changhe, otherwise the strongest potential dragon in history would be a joke.
He really didn't intend to teach this in detail, and instead asked: "Have you already started looking for a special physique?"
Zhao Changhe smiled apologetically: "Uncle has a keen eye, can you give me some advice?"
"This is different from the regular cultivation system. It belongs to the characteristics of ancient gods and demons. Now, including me and Wang Daoning, we can't say that we have fully understood this thing. The person who knows it best in the world, besides Your Majesty, may be Li Shentong. What I can tell you is that this is a bottomless pit. There is no end in sight, and no one can give you clear guidance. What to do next depends entirely on your own luck. If you are not careful, you can only become a weird person with a lot of hidden diseases."
Zhao Changhe thought to himself that Yue Hongling did not blindly follow the transformation of the basalt gem to create some innate Taoist body, but just made slight adjustments based on her own understanding. It should be based on this consideration that the female hero's understanding of martial arts is still very accurate.
But I really have a trick for this, and the guidance from the gold foil must be reliable.
So he asked, "Uncle, do you know about the Dragon Elephant Blood Ginseng?"
“Dragon-Elephant Blood Ginseng…” Cui Wenjing frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, “I’ve heard of many types of blood ginseng, but I’ve never heard of one named Dragon-Elephant. If you need this for your bodybuilding, I can help you keep an eye out for news.”
Zhao Changhe was overjoyed. It was good to have a backer. If the Cui family really started to work and find something, the chances of success would be much greater. This kind of thing with a clear name would not be as illusory as the natural treasure that could transform the meridians. Seeing his monkey-like virtue, Cui Wenjing said unhappily: "Don't think that you can succeed by just finding some medicinal herbs. You have to be prepared to search for various secret places for research and study for a lifetime."
Zhao Changhe smiled apologetically: "I know..."
Cui Wenjing looked at him for a long time, and suddenly ran out of topics. In fact, when we talk about cultivation tips, we are talking about children. I hope you can improve quickly and marry a daughter, otherwise I will teach you nothing. There is no need to reveal these too clearly, otherwise Old Cui will be embarrassed.
After a long while, Cui Wenjing sighed and talked about something that everyone didn't want to talk about openly: "You really want to be the crown prince now, right?"
Zhao Changhe said: "Of course..."
"Then why are you fighting so hard in this battle? The winner of this battle is completely you, Zhao Changhe, and everyone has to admit it."
"… What does this have to do with it? Brother Cui is also holding on to his position. Does he want to be the crown prince too?"
Cui Wenjing raised his hand as if to slap Zhao Changhe, but Zhao Changhe protected his face.
Cui Wenjing glared at him for a long time, then sighed, "No matter what your purpose is, maybe you did it unintentionally, but you have objectively won the favor of Huangfu Yongxian and the recognition of Daxia's most elite army. Do you know what this means?"
Zhao Changhe's first reaction was that if I wanted to get close to his daughter, it seemed like there would be less resistance...
He immediately realized that his current status and power, no matter what bloodline he had, were really unimportant... But everyone was just considering it based on conventional politics, and no one thought that Xia Longyuan was basically a lunatic and would not care about these things at all.
As long as Xia Longyuan keeps playing the game of gods and Buddhas, the world will never be at peace, and all people can do is to make repairs.
Such is the tragedy of evening makeup.
Now it seems that it is my turn to get involved.
As if he understood what he was thinking, Cui Wenjing said calmly: "In this world, the more conscientious people are, the more tired they are, and the more self-centered people are, the more comfortable they are. Do you... have any regrets?"
"What about uncle?" Zhao Changhe asked back: "When the Qinghe Sword spirit was extinguished and abandoned the Cui family, uncle said it calmly at the time. Did he have any regrets in his heart? Now Brother Yuanyong is guarding the border with his heroic spirit in Yanmen. Maybe the sword spirit will return. Uncle came thousands of miles to help. Did he blame Brother Yuanyong for not knowing how to advance and retreat and not caring about the family, or was he secretly relieved?"
Cui Wenjing stopped talking and just looked at him steadily.
The father-in-law and son-in-law stared at each other for a while, and Cui Wenjing suddenly smiled: "I haven't seen you for half a year. I haven't seen you improve in other aspects, but the bandit taste in your mouth is almost gone. On the contrary, Yuan Yong has a mouth full of mom."
Then he turned and left: "Have you noticed that Longque is becoming more and more obedient now? I think the day when he recognizes his master is not far away. I think you can think about this first."
Daxia Dragon Bird, the emperor's sword.
If it recognizes a master, it will only recognize one type of person.
Zhao Changhe looked at the door with a headache. This Old Cui was not talking about a knife at all, he just wanted to come over and put on a yellow robe.
No wonder they would marry into the Wang family, there are so many rebels in the world... and they even said they were the imperial party.
Just as I was having a headache, there was another knock on the door. A strange male voice laughed and said, "How is Mr. Zhao's injury? Ying Wu has some good medicine here, which is different from the Cui family... Sell it to you for only one cent."
Eighth on the Heavenly Ranking, Ying Wu… one place higher than Lao Cui.
If Lao Cui is still focusing on the world and the mountains and rivers, Ying Wu is definitely not.
Zhao Changhe was very interested in him.
