Those with talent will improve a lot from absorbing a desolate bone relic, as for those without talent, the same desolate bone relic will only improve their strength by a tenth. And the further one goes, the harder it gets to improve one’s strength. At that point, no family will be able to afford it!”
After hearing the fat elder’s words, Yi Yun understood it firmly. He had some idea about cultivation matters from Jiang Xiaorou, but only after listening to this elder that he understood it clearly.
In a situation with limited resources, talent was indeed important.
Lian Chengyu had the ambition to break through to the Purple Blood realm was naturally because he had talent.
If he lacked talent, even with the entire Lian Clan Herb Mountain and the desolate bones, Lian Chengyu would never have been able to encroach into the Purple Blood realm territory.
Yi Yun knew his conditions. He was just an average youth. He was a normal mortal to the bone, and had no relations with martial families, so how could he have the talent to practice martial arts?
But thinking of his absorbing of the herbs’ and the desolate bones’ energy the past few days using the Purple Crystal, his cultivation speed was indeed fast. This was all clearly the credit of the Purple Crystal.
With the Purple Crystal deep within his heart, every heart beat would spread energy to each and every part of his body, improving his fitness. This method of absorption was much more efficient than other warriors who used their stomachs to absorb energy.
After understanding these, Yi Yun’s thoughts became clearer as he raised his head looking at the fat elder saying, “I don’t need to be taken in by you as a disciple.”
Since he had already indicated his position, Yi Yun did not want to insist. Actually, even if the old man had wanted to take in Yi Yun as a disciple, Yi Yun would have to think very carefully. After all, his body had a huge secret. If he did not carefully think of the special characteristics of the Purple Crystal Origins, his master might discover the secret and the consequences would be unthinkable.
“What I want from Sir is a miracle medicine! Be it fierce beast essence, desolate beast meat, herbs or even desolate bones!”
After hearing those words, the fat elder laughed, “You sure know how to take a mile from an inch. You thought well, exchanging a desolate bone relic for some chicken that was provided by myself?”
The desolate bone relics stored in his rings were all of high quality. To exchange them for a few dishes was no trifling matter.
“I guess you aren’t willing to listen to me,” shaking his head in disapproval at the kid that cannot be taught. “You still want to go down the path of martial arts. It was not easy getting by reaching a state of Tempered Body, but you have never had proper martial arts cultivation. Do you even know any cultivation technique? Do you know any fighting technique? Do you have a soul cultivation technique? Without a master or any manual, are you planning on reaching the Purple Blood realm by self-teaching?”
