Chapter 1156: The Problem of Growth
Ye Zan's two apprentices, Shi Lin and Wu Liao, can't be said to be little guys now, they have all changed from teenagers to young people. After all, it took Ye Zan a full ten years just to transform the fortress of war, and it was naturally impossible for the two apprentices to grow and stagnate. And among the two apprentices, if you want to say that the biggest change, it has to be said that it is the witch fire brought from the Great Wilderness Realm.
At the beginning, when Ye Zan accepted Wu Liao as an apprentice, Wu Liao would still look thin and short even compared to Terran children of the same age, let alone compared with normal children of the Wu Clan. It is precisely because of this that when Wu Liao was in the tribe, although he was the grandson of the patriarch, he was often teased and teased by his peers.
And today's Wu Liao, although compared with the young people of the Wu clan of the same age, his figure will still look a little thin. Moreover, in fact, Wu Liao is not really thin, but more well-proportioned than ordinary Wu youth. Of course, compared to the young people of the human race, Wu Liao's figure can still be said to be tall and mighty.
As for why Wu Liao looked so malnourished when he was in the tribe, Ye Zan later made a detailed examination for him. The reason is actually very simple, that is, Wu Liao was really malnourished at that time, so he seemed to have slower development than children of the same age.
As for the cause of malnutrition, it is due to the Wu bloodline of Wu Liao, not some abuse in the tribe. While he was in the tribe, although he did not enjoy special treatment, he was no worse than his peers in terms of food distribution. It's just that his Wu clan blood is even stronger, so that the need for "nutrition" is actually greater than that of his peers.
The bloodline is said to contain powerful power, but it is really more accurate to say that it contains the law of the Great Dao. That is to say, the bloodline itself has no energy, only the method and skill of how to use the energy, and turn the method and skill into instinct. If you want the bloodline to exert its power, you must provide a lot of "energy" for the bloodline, which is the so-called "nutrition".
For the bloodline, "nutrition" is, of course, the aura, just as the cultivator needs to exhale the aura. Reiki can be regarded as the most basic energy, which can become true qi, true element, and mana in cultivators, demon power in the demon clan, and bloodline power in the witch clan.
Before Ye Zan brought thousands of miles of gods and guns, the life of the creatures in the Great Wilderness Realm could be said to be quite difficult. Therefore, even the grandson of the Wu patriarch could not get too special treatment, and could only have the same share of food as other people of the same age. The need for "nutrition" is greater, but the food is the same as everyone else's, so it's no wonder that Wu Liao is malnourished.
After worshipping Ye Zan, the master, Wu Liao was able to eat enough in terms of the inheritance of the Wu clan, although he couldn't get much guidance from the master. You must know that Ye Zan's side is not inferior to Wu Liao's stuttering, especially when he still has spiritual energy crops such as spiritual rice in his hands.
As a result, Wu Liao can let go of eating, his blood veins have been replenished with sufficient energy, and his body will naturally become more and more robust.
Of course, although in terms of the inheritance of the Wu clan, Ye Zan can not guide Wu Liao much, but it does not mean that he can really only be a pure "breeder". A person's strength depends not only on how well he cultivates the exercises, but also on how his "overall quality" is. This "comprehensive quality" basically refers to how to give full play to one's strength.
A person, if he doesn't have the skill to use strength, even "one force to ten meetings" can only be a joke.
And this "skill" is not only the so-called "move", such as the ability to adapt on the spot, as well as the ability to judge the situation and so on. In these aspects, Ye Zan's side can still provide a lot of help to the disciples, and just a Void God Realm is enough for the disciples to get great exercise.
Speaking of Shi Lin, Ye Zan's first disciple is a little older than Wu Liao, and of course he can be regarded as a young man. Compared with before, today's Stone Forest is indeed much more mature, not only in terms of physical growth, but also in terms of mental.
In terms of strength, Shi Lin's strength comes from the Western Dragon bloodline in his body, which is actually somewhat similar to Wu Liao. Both of them rely on their bloodlines to gain strength, but the origins of the bloodlines are different, and it is not clear which one is stronger.
On the Stone Forest's side, Ye Zan did not have any other influence on his bloodline except for purifying his bloodline at the beginning. Like that Extraterrestrial Demon, he fused all kinds of bloodlines into himself to obtain various powerful powers with different characteristics, and Ye Zan couldn't look down on them at all.
In Ye Zan's opinion, those bloodlines that are mixed too much can certainly gain great power in the short term. However, in the long run, the mixing and conflict of too many bloodlines will become a ceiling that is difficult to break through. Although, judging from the situation of the demons outside that day, no matter how much the other party has a ceiling, his strength has reached the level of a true immortal. However, Ye Zan still didn't want his apprentice to follow that path.
Therefore, what Ye Zan has been teaching Shi Lin is how to develop his own bloodline and how to give full play to the potential of that bloodline. And at this point, the inheritance of the Wu clan that came with Wu Liao also gave Ye Zan a good reference direction. Although it was impossible for him to let Shi Lin completely follow the path of the Wu Clan, he did get a lot of inspiration from it.
For example, in terms of the condensation of bloodline, after all, the Wu clan has also been the protagonist of heaven and earth, and the condensation method that has been inherited is certainly not bad. In view of the actual situation of the Stone Forest, Ye Zan modified and tested some things in the Wu Clan's inheritance and then taught them to the Stone Forest.
Anyway, when the patriarch of the Wu clan asked Ye Zan to watch the inheritance of the Wu clan, he didn't say that it couldn't be taught to people outside the Wu clan, not to mention that it had been modified.
When Ye Zan had just finished renovating the fortress, Shi Lin's strength had already reached the peak of the Yuan Shen level. It was only due to the suppression of the Heavenly Dao in the cultivation world that Shi Lin did not have a chance to go further. Now, Shi Lin came to the Dawn World with Master Ye Zan, and there is no longer the Heavenly Dao suppression of the cultivation world, and the breakthrough in strength is already close to the door.
Compared with these two apprentices, Ye Zan's daughter Ye Linglong has not changed much over the years. Judging from the appearance alone, the little Lori is still a little Lori, at most, she has changed from five or six years old to seven or eight years old.
The daughter grows up so slowly, so that Ye Zan, who is a father, is also quite complicated in his heart. Of course, parents hope that their children can grow up healthy and grow up as soon as possible. However, it may also be because the child will not be fun when he grows up, and he will feel a little regretful in his heart. Now, Ye Zan doesn't feel that kind of regret, since her daughter is her own pistachio, she is also a little worried about her lack of growth.
Of course, strictly speaking, the slow growth of little Lolita Linglong can't be said to be anything wrong. This is only because her own life form is not very human, so that she is different from ordinary people in terms of growth. In other words, from Ye Linglong's point of view, such a growth rate is actually normal.
You must know that if you really count her age, Ye Linglong had already lived as a golden python for at least a thousand years before crossing the Dragon Tribulation. Therefore, if you count that age, Ye Linglong is now an "old monster" who is thousands of years old.
However, Ye Linglong survived the dragon tribulation and was protected by Ye Zan's merits, and from that time on, he was reborn. Therefore, if you really want to count her age, it should still start with her surviving the Dragon Tribulation. In this way, she should look like a teenager at her current age.
However, after Ye Linglong crossed the catastrophe, although she did not really turn into a real dragon, she was still an "immortal species" relative to the human race. The "longevity" has a long lifespan, and correspondingly in terms of growth, it is naturally slow. In fact, this "slowness" is still relative to the human race, and the "immortal species" themselves don't feel how slow their growth is.
A person's life is only a short hundred years, and in order for the group to reproduce normally, birth, growth, maturity, and aging are all compressed in this hundred years. And those "immortal species" have a lifespan of thousands of years, and each stage will naturally be elongated accordingly. Otherwise, if you live forever and reproduce quickly, I am afraid that this world will soon be crowded, and there will be room for other living beings to live.
Having said that, the girl doesn't grow up like this, but let Ye Zan, the father, not have to worry about the girl being abducted by the apprentice. You must know that senior sisters, junior brothers, senior brothers and sisters, it is easy to get emotional entanglements after getting along for a long time.
In the past, when he first accepted Shilin as an apprentice, Ye Zan thought about whether this stinky boy would abduct his daughter. "Fortunately" Later, Shi Lin had an accident and was unexpectedly transported to the Jiaosheng Palace of the East China Sea, and only a few years later appeared in front of him as the son of Jiaosheng Yizi.
And now, Ye Zan doesn't have to worry about it, the two apprentices have become young men, but the girl still looks like a little Lori. If in this case, who of these two apprentices would have any thoughts about Ye Linglong, then he would probably really have to clean up the portal.
Speaking of which, the girl is not big, and the son and the girl are in the same situation, and they are also not big. And Ye Zan, who is a father, although he is already four years old, his appearance has not changed much. Of course, when a person reaches forty and is in the prime of life, he will not show any old age. However, Ye Zan was able to maintain this appearance, essentially because the realm improved fast enough.
Among the group of cultivators, there are many so-called "crane-haired and childish" people, and in addition to deliberately changing due to certain purposes and hobbies, in fact, many of them are the result of natural aging. After all, not all cultivators can step into the realm of the Yuan Shen at a young age like a genius like Ye Zan and them.
Cultivating the path to improve the realm will correspondingly increase the lifespan, and the human race, which is a "short-lived species", will gradually become an "immortal species". However, before you break through a realm, your aging rate is calculated based on your current realm, not the lifespan after breaking through the realm. Therefore, when you break through the realm at the age of 80, your life expectancy is extended, but the aging that has been caused by this will not be reversed.
In other words, "rejuvenation" is something that you don't have to think about, at least for the vast majority of people. Unless, you can get the natural treasure with the effect of "rejuvenation", it is possible to reverse aging with the effect of that medicine. However, the kind of "rejuvenation" of heaven and earth treasure is somewhat "against the sky", and it is naturally not so easy to get.
In addition to relying on natural resources and treasures, if you want to maintain "youth", there is only one way, which is to break through the realm as soon as possible. When you break through the realm in your twenties, you will be able to age more slowly than other peers, and then break through more slowly, until it seems that "youth will last forever".
Of course, in the process of monasticism, this effect of "maintaining youth" is not what the cultivators really pursue. However, if you break through the realm one step earlier, your original remaining lifespan will be able to be extended one step earlier.
To put it bluntly, it is the same breakthrough in the Jindan realm, your breakthrough at the age of twenty and the breakthrough at the age of eighty, and the increased lifespan after that is not the same. This increased lifespan is calculated based on your original remaining lifespan. You have eighty years of life left, and ten times longer is eight hundred years. You have twenty years left to live, and if you stretch it tenfold, you'll have only two hundred years.
Therefore, the "crane-haired and childish" among the cultivators is actually not worthy of envy, which just shows that their monastic talent is relatively mediocre.
Ye Zan had already stepped into the Yuan Shen Realm more than ten years ago, and Shouyuan had already reached thousands of years, so how could he age much because of this mere ten years. Similarly, the Lin family sisters and brothers beside him, as well as Qi Qianjun, also entered the Yuan Shen Realm at a young age, so they all had no changes in aging.
Ye Zan is like this, and bringing a girl who "doesn't grow up" will not make people feel disobedient. If the little Lori Ye Linglong grew up "normally", and now she has become a ten-class girl, she will not be a "good match" with Ye Zan, who is a father.
After leaving the matter of "preaching" to others to continue, Ye Zan focused on his two apprentices and his daughter Ye Linglong. He didn't take people to travel around, after all, the lessons that should have been taken by the travels had already been taken in the small world and the cultivation world.
Although this Dawn World is an extraterrestrial world, it is still just a place for intelligent beings to live. If you really want to compare it with the world of cultivation, this world of dawn is not too different except for some systems and customs. Therefore, Ye Zan did not need to be in this place to take his apprentice and daughter to "observe the suffering".
Ye Zan, with his daughter and two apprentices, was wandering around in this Dawn World, mainly looking for places or opportunities that would help them break through in their cultivation. After all, in today's Dawn World, as long as he doesn't disturb the original will of that world, he is basically at the mercy of Ye Zan as he pleases. Therefore, of course, Ye Zan should take advantage of this opportunity to find some benefits for his daughter and apprentices.
