Chapter 648 - 748: Is This Even Possible?
The reason he knows he can't be a disciple of the Seed Plan is that he can always work hard to show his shining points to his master.
Though, he still cannot enter the Seed Plan. But at least he needs to work as hard as they do, so he can feel better since their talent is indeed higher than his.
Their inherent talent is higher than his, and if he is lazier than they are, then there will be no hope at all. Hope gives motivation, and as long as he is alive, there will be a day where he can surpass them.
The disciple's eyes changed at this thought. They reverted back to their original friendly gaze because his mind was clear, or rather, it had always been clear; only occasionally, a trace of jealousy or resentment appeared.
When his eyes returned to their original state, Yuan Chu nodded slightly, seeing that he did not misjudge him.
Originally, when there were some changes in this disciple, Yuan Chu already noticed because cultivators always have meticulous thoughts. Careless people cannot practice refining, so Yuan Chu kept him by his side to observe if his thoughts were developing in a more serious direction or if he could sort them out himself.
Yuan Chu was quite pleased that the disciple figured it out on his own without any guidance. This kind of realization is far better than understanding after being guided because it allows him to hold on to his beliefs more strongly.
Although Yuan Chu is obsessed with artifact refining and oblivious to other matters, he is fully aware of all the movements on Taiqi Peak, as he bears the responsibility of being the head of Taiqi Peak.
What the disciple does not know is that the reason Yuan Chu is so strict with them is because their talents are not as high as others. If your talent is not as good, and you do not work harder, then it means nothing; you hope to catch up with others. Moreover, if you give up on yourself, no one can lift you back up.
This is also why Yuan Chu often doesn't let them practice refining but focuses on cultivating Spiritual Qi.
What is called cultivating Spiritual Qi is essentially practicing their hearts. When they are lost or make mistakes, they should cultivate their minds to make them stronger. This is the way to prevent repeated mistakes and honestly face their errors; recognizing their mistakes themselves is way more effective than others pointing them out. Only by knowing the severity of their mistakes can they truly, genuinely, and realistically understand how serious their mistakes are.
The so-called master is not just someone who teaches you skills, but like your father teaching you life. Therefore, a master not only teaches disciples skills but also teaches them life.
When Ye Tianfan arrived at Taihuo Peak, he went straight to the cultivation cave, did some cleaning inside, then sat cross-legged on the ground, and began cultivating. Indeed, Taihuo Peak is different from other places; the fire attribute Spiritual Qi here is exploding with abundance. Lighting a fire here feels like it could ignite the whole cave.
Bai Feng then arrived at the cultivation cave shortly after Ye Tianfan entered his cultivation state.
As Bai Feng entered the cave, he loudly shouted, "Tianfan, I'm here."
But right after Bai Feng spoke, he saw that Ye Tianfan was already in a cultivation state and was stunned.
What's going on? Didn't we agree to wait for me? You've entered a cultivation state; what am I supposed to do? I came here to study your Magical Treasure, and now that you didn't even take out the treasure beforehand and just entered cultivation, should I just wait here? What if you cultivate for a day or two, am I going to just wait here for two whole days?
But then Bai Feng noticed Ye Tianfan's face was slightly flushed, and he exited the cultivation state.
Oh no. Bai Feng panicked—this situation is the backlash of being interrupted while cultivating. His shouting just now disturbed Ye Tianfan. What should he do? You know, Spiritual Qi backlash can be quite serious; it could take half a month to a month to recuperate. The backlash affects the meridians and the Sea of Consciousness; injury to either would be detrimental.
Just as Bai Feng was gathering himself, suddenly Ye Tianfan spoke.
"You're here," Ye Tianfan said and then immediately brought out the Profound Dragon Seal and the Xuanhuang Tower, saying, "You can study them here, or in the adjacent cultivation cave; just don't make too much noise."
Bai Feng directed his attention to the Profound Dragon Seal, the Xuanhuang Tower, and the Carefree Sword, barely registering what Ye Tianfan was saying but still gave a perfunctory acknowledgment.
Seeing Bai Feng's behavior, Ye Tianfan suddenly felt some regret. This person puts treasures over friendship.
Ye Tianfan even wondered if he were kidnapped and the ransom was a Supreme Magical Treasure, Bai Feng probably wouldn't hand over the treasure. Perhaps even if the kidnappers gave Bai Feng a Supreme Magical Treasure, he'd keep the secret for them, too.
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Ye Tianfan decided to ignore Bai Feng and resumed his own cultivation. The purpose of coming back was to cultivate, wasn't it? What current abilities do the Profound Dragon Seal have? You know, besides breaking restrictions, defense, and hitting people, what else can it do?
Ye Tianfan sighed deeply; alright, cultivating in the short term seems out of the question. Knowing Bai Feng's personality, he's bound to have a whole slew of questions lined up for me.
Ye Tianfan halted his cultivation, sat on the ground, and looked at the Profound Dragon Seal in Bai Feng's hand, saying, "First, the Profound Dragon Seal can shrink and enlarge to hit people. It also has defensive abilities and can break through Array restrictions, but its most crucial core ability is..."
"What is it?" Bai Feng interjected eagerly before Ye Tianfan could finish.
Ye Tianfan rolled his eyes at Bai Feng; he hadn't even finished his sentence before getting interrupted. Are you in a rush or not? I was just about to say it, and your interruption delayed us a bit. That little interruption cost us half a minute already. If you're really in a hurry, then don't interrupt; wait till I finish speaking!
