Chapter 20 Exercise Selection
After listening to the young woman's words, Li Huayuan explained to Sun Zecheng that he accepted him as a disciple in order to take away half of the spiritual medicine. He took part of it to make pills to help his old friend Silver Armor Horned Python break through to the Jindan stage. Unexpectedly, something went wrong in the practice of the master's wife and her life was in danger. Fortunately, he got a lot of spiritual medicine from Sun Zecheng and Han Li, and was able to use these spiritual medicines to save his life! So he called Sun Zecheng his savior.

"My wife recovered a few days ago! When I told her about the origin of the elixir, she immediately said that she had to compensate you. After all, she relied on these elixir to save her life. You can also be considered her lifesaver!

"Master, you are too polite. It is the disciple's duty to respect the master. The master's wife was saved because she is kind and blessed!" Sun Zecheng did not take credit for it. When it comes to gratitude, if others remember it, then so be it. If they don't remember it, then forget it. There is no need to take credit for it.

"You don't have to be modest. Not only did my wife save my life, but without you I would not have won the bet, and my old friend would not have been able to eat the Blood Dragon Inner Pill. So I thought that even if you didn't succeed in building your foundation, I would still formally accept you as my disciple! But I didn't expect that less than half a year after returning from the forbidden land, you have already succeeded in building your foundation! This really surprised me! After all, I said in person that day that as long as you entered the foundation-building stage, I would formally accept you as my disciple, so this is not much compensation. It seems that I can only think of other ways within my ability to compensate you!" Li Huayuan finally had some conscience, remembering that Sun Zecheng was the number one contributor to his winning the bet!

After Li Huayuan finished speaking, Sun Zecheng really didn't know what to ask for. After all, as a time traveler, he was not omniscient and many details were impossible for him to know. For example, besides the "Qingyuan Sword Art" and the golden pages, what other good things did Li Huayuan have?

As for the golden pages and the sword formation, Sun Zecheng was not very interested in them. He saw that Han Li had been struggling for a long time to gather the materials for the sword formation, but he did not see how powerful the sword formation was or how much effect it had!
Besides, Sun Zecheng was still planning to rob Han Li and would not change because of his fellow apprentices! Then, he would not have to repeat what Han Li had chosen!

"Well, I see that you haven't made up your mind yet. Anyway, you will stay in the cave in the future, so there is no rush. Think about it and then ask your master for it. You should think carefully. Your master is not a very generous person. This is a rare opportunity!" The young woman glanced at Li Huayuan and then spoke softly to Sun Zecheng.

Li Huayuan felt a little embarrassed to be exposed by his wife as not a generous person, and he chuckled dryly.

Sun Zecheng actually didn't care, or he really didn't know what to choose. The compensation was nothing more than skills, elixirs, and magic tools.

Kung Fu? In fact, with the barefoot man's silver pages, we have the first to thirteen levels of "Qingyuan Sword Art", so there is no shortage of Kung Fu;
Pills? Seeing that Li Huayuan accepted Han Li, a four-spiritual-rooted man, as a nominal disciple for ten hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, we can see how much he needs spiritual herbs. Pills must be very expensive in his mind! Therefore, it would be a big loss if this favor was exchanged for his pills! The matter of pills still needs to be solved from the ninth junior brother Han Li!
Magical weapon? Come on, there are plenty of top-quality magical weapons in my storage bag! Besides, it would be more fun to rob Junior Brother Han with this stuff!
After thinking about it, Master Li Huayuan only has one technique to choose from! Huangfeng Valley actually started out by robbing, and the techniques they got are all kinds of things, even top techniques like Qingyuan Sword Technique, but they don't know the good stuff! Maybe there are other good stuffs that they don't know the good stuff too?
Thinking of this, Sun Zecheng said, "Disciple wants to see if there is any suitable technique."

After hearing this, Li Huayuan smiled slightly at the young woman beside him, probably meaning: See, I guessed right, what he wants is indeed the martial arts technique!

Then he turned around and said calmly to Sun Zecheng:
"Well, your choice is good! Come here, let me check your spiritual root attributes, and then decide what spell to bestow on you."

After hearing this, Sun Zecheng walked closer. Li Huayuan grabbed Sun Zecheng's wrist, and a warm current quickly flowed through his meridians.

"Spiritual roots with the attributes of water, fire and earth, but unfortunately the aptitude is a bit too ordinary." Li Huayuan said with a little disappointment after exploring for a while.

The young woman listened to this and showed some surprise. Although she didn't say anything, she couldn't help but look at Sun Zecheng again. "My disciple's aptitude is poor, and it was a fluke that I was able to build my foundation. I'm afraid I've disappointed Master!" Sun Zecheng smiled playfully, thinking that you will be even more disappointed when you check Han Li's spiritual roots in three years!
"That's nothing. You were able to bring back an unprecedented amount of spiritual medicine from the Blood Forbidden Land, and successfully established your foundation so quickly. You must be a person of great fortune. What I regret is that, in this case, it will be a bit troublesome for you to choose the cultivation method!"

"Master, please explain clearly."

"Your master originally planned to pick a good martial art for you, but now that he sees that you have three spiritual roots, he is worried about harming you! After all, the better the martial art, the harder it is to practice and the more dangerous it is to practice, so he is a little conflicted." The young woman scolded Li Huayuan, and then explained to Sun Zecheng in a gentle voice.

"Madam is right, that's what I mean." Li Huayuan nodded repeatedly.

It was a rare opportunity for Li Huayuan to be so generous, so Sun Zecheng couldn't waste it. He said with a smile, "How about Master lend me all the techniques that are suitable for me to practice, so that I can comprehend them and then make a choice?"

Li Huayuan nodded and said, "Choosing a technique is a major event in a cultivator's life. Your request is not excessive. I agree to it. But before that, I have a few words to say to you."

"Disciple is all ears." Sun Zecheng put away his playful expression.

"The techniques that we cultivators practice can be roughly divided into three categories based on the progress of practice and the power of use!"

"The first type is that after practicing, the progress of practice is slow, but the power of the skills is powerful, invincible at the same level, and can even defeat enemies of higher levels! However, people who practice this kind of skills often have difficulty forming a pill because their progress of practice cannot keep up with their lifespan! Not to mention Nascent Soul! This kind of skills is suitable for people who are brave and aggressive."

"The second type is just the opposite. The progress of cultivation is very fast. It is easy to get started and the cultivation is fast. However, the supernatural powers of this type of practice are weak, which is not conducive to fighting. The practitioners are destined to be the weak among the practitioners of the same level! However, many people who dream of forming a pill, a Nascent Soul, or even immortality often choose this type of practice. After all, it is easy to practice and the potential for forming a pill is not small! This type of practice is suitable for hardworking practitioners who do not fight with the world."

When Li Huayuan said this, he paused and did not continue: "I wonder, what kind of spell will you choose, or what kind of spell do you think is more suitable for you?"

"Master, isn't there a third category? Why don't you talk about it?"
