"What's the problem?" Zhao Xiaoning asked casually.

Xie Zhenlong followed him and couldn't help but ask: "What I want to know is, why did you break that way of learning scriptures? Is it just to prove your innocence?

Xie Zhenlong was very envious of Zhao Xiaoning.

No, to be precise, all carvers envy Zhao Xiaoning, because his first work has a master-level demeanor, and if it is taken out for auction, it will definitely sell for a sky-high price. After all, this is the first work!

"Old Xie, seriously, how do you feel about that way of learning the scriptures?" Zhao Xiaoning asked rhetorically.

"I can see that you don't go under the knife much, but you have outlined the artistic conception of the work, which can be regarded as a superb work. Xie Zhenlong said truthfully.

Zhao Xiaoning smiled: "Aren't there any shortcomings?"

"There's a little bit of it, but it's not a flaw!" Xie Zhenlong replied.

Zhao Xiaoning shook his head: "Although that piece of learning from the scriptures is my first work, it has a bit of a chicken rib feeling, and the volume of the palm is not big or small." This has limited its market, and it is difficult to sell at a high price. I think you took out my first wood carving to the exhibition, and the reaction should have been very strong, right?"

Xie Zhenlong snorted, he clearly remembered how strong the sensation caused by the advent of that 'hope', if nothing else, just because someone was willing to bid 500 million yuan could see its value.

This piece of learning from the scriptures is far stronger than hoped in terms of material, subject matter and artistic conception, although it has also caused a lot of sensation, but no one wants to buy it. To put it bluntly, it is too small, when the handle is too large, the pendant is not suitable, and when the ornament is too small, it is not conspicuous at all.

Although the three words Zhao Xiaoning are of great significance in the carving world, no one wants to spend money in vain, so they can't buy it and put it in a drawer, right?

"I heard a story the other day. Zhao Xiaoning said: "It is said that there is an antique lover who spent a billion yuan to buy a pair of luminous cups in the Tang Dynasty, and the pair of luminous cups is unique in the world at that time. Supposedly, this treasure should be carefully collected, but the antique lover did not do so, but broke one in public when he got his hands on it. His actions were shocking, but it was undeniable that the price of the only glow-in-the-dark cup he had left in his hand had increased exponentially. ”

"I can't sell my book for a better price, even if my second work comes out, but if I break it, it's not my first work. In other words, my next work will still sell for the price of the first piece. ”

Hearing this, Xie Zhenlong already understood Zhao Xiaoning's intentions, stretched out his thumb, and sighed: "Master, your trick can be described as wonderful! ”

Zhao Xiaoning laughed: "Don't be a sycophant." How have you been cultivating during this time? I feel that your aura is much thicker than before!"

Xie Zhenlong hurriedly said: "The disciples of the exercises that the master taught to their disciples have been cultivating and have not slackened, but they feel that they can't improve for some reason during this time. When absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, I felt like my body was torn apart, master, have you ever encountered this situation when you were cultivating?"

Xie Zhenlong came to the exhibition this time to put it bluntly to study, but the real purpose was because Zhao Xiaoning came to the exhibition, he just wanted to ask Zhao Xiaoning about some matters about cultivation in person. After all, there are some words that are not clear on the phone, so you can only ask for advice in person.

Zhao Xiaoning's eyes lit up: "When you cultivated some time ago, did your body excrete brown mucus, which is very smelly and smelly?"

"Yes. Xie Zhenlong said truthfully.

Zhao Xiaoning's eyes were full of approval: "Old Xie, it's okay for you." I have cultivated to this point so quickly, and the One Qi Mixed Yuan Recipe I taught you is a very rare internal strength method, and if you cultivate to the extreme, you can become an immortal.

However, it is difficult to become an immortal, and you need to go through many difficulties. As for the situation you're in right now, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing. Because you've already started, because you've reached the bottleneck. This is a bottleneck between ordinary people and cultivators, and if you can break through, you can become an acquired master. Although the acquired master does not have the ability to soar through the clouds, it is not a problem to live a long life, and the control is much stronger than that of ordinary people, which can already be seen in the carving. ”

For the first time, Xie Zhenlong knew about cultivation, especially the division of realms, which made him feel that a magical door was opening to him.

"Master, the main reason why you have achieved so much in carving is this?" Xie Zhenlong asked curiously.

"Of course. I didn't admit that I was a genius, but it was my status as a cultivator that made it easier for me to carve than ordinary people. As for the real genius, it should be someone like Zhang Hongliang. ”

Xie Zhenlong asked again: "Master, what is the future master? The acquired master should not be the ultimate realm of cultivators, right?"

"The ultimate realm?" Zhao Xiaoning chuckled: "The acquired can only be regarded as an entry, and there are innate masters after the acquired realm, if you can become an innate master, how can you live one hundred and fifty or sixty years old." Even so, he is not a true cultivator. If you want to become a true cultivator, you must break through the innate and become a Qi refining stage cultivator. Once this is the case, one can be counted as a true cultivator, but there is no one in ten thousand people. On the contrary, if you can become a Qi refining period cultivator, your physical body will become extremely powerful, especially your perception ability is even more different from ordinary people, you can clearly feel the danger coming, and you can even dodge the bullet shooting. Speaking of this, Zhao Xiaoning was a little arrogant in his words, because as far as he knew, he was the only Qi Refining Stage cultivator in the entire China.

"So strong?" Xie Zhenlong exclaimed, his eyes full of shock.

"That's the difference between a monk and an ordinary person. Zhao Xiaoning said with a smile.

"Dare to ask what realm the master is now?" Xie Zhenlong asked in a low voice.

"Me?" Zhao Xiaoning smiled: "I've barely reached the peak of the second layer of the Qi Refining Stage now. ”

Grudging!

The pinnacle of the second layer of the Qi refining period!

Nothing more?

Xie Zhenlong was completely defeated, can you already be called a demon if you have this cultivation at your age?

"Old Xie, cultivation is gradual. Although you and I practice different exercises, there is one thing you must keep in mind, don't be impetuous, only if you can endure loneliness, you can gain something. Zhao Xiaoning admonished seriously.

"Obey the Church of the Master. Xie Zhenlong said.

Zhao Xiaoning said: "Let's go back to the hotel first, now that you have reached the bottleneck, you can rest assured to break through for the teacher to help you protect the Fa." ”

Xie Zhenlong is Zhao Xiaoning's first apprentice, although the master led the door to practice personally, he will not let Xie Zhenlong be confused on the road of cultivation, if he can help, he will help. Because he also wants to develop his own power, only in this way can he completely gain a firm foothold in society.
