Chapter 10 The Master’s Assistant
The room is not big, about thirty square meters. The contents inside are also very simple. Apart from the living furniture, the most conspicuous thing is a bookshelf that takes up two walls and is filled with various books.
Seeing this bookshelf made Chi Ping envious.
Yu Xiaogang took a bottle of potion from the desk next to him and handed it to Chi Ping: "This is a potion for reducing swelling and blood stasis. It is of a higher quality than those sold in ordinary pharmacies. Take it and treat the injuries on your body. You are young. Your muscles and bones are developing, don’t let these minor injuries affect your body.”
"Thank you, Master." Chi Ping thanked Yu Xiaogang, but did not take the potion.
Yu Xiaogang was not angry either. He put the potion aside and brought Chi Ping a chair.
After Chi Ping sat down, Yu Xiaogang walked behind the desk and sat down.
"You are 7 years old this year, with an eighth level of soul power and a fifth level of innate soul power. If you are really not a twin martial soul, then either your fluorescent mushroom martial soul is a mutated martial soul, or you inadvertently ate some genius before entering school. "Dibao."
Chi Ping shook his head, "What you said before is correct, but I don't think my martial spirit has mutated, and I haven't eaten any weird plants."
"Can you let me see your martial spirit?"
There is nothing wrong with Chi Ping.
Stretching out his right hand, dozens of milky-white hyphae stretched out in the radiance of milky-white soul power. In an instant, a fat white fluorescent mushroom grew from the mycelium.
"This is……"
After Yu Xiaogang watched the whole process of Chi Ping summoning the martial spirit, he frowned and asked, "Isn't your martial spirit a fluorescent mushroom? What are those milky white filaments?"
"It's mycelium." Chi Ping explained, "Mushrooms grow from mycelium. Just like grass has grass roots, trees have tree roots, and mushrooms also have mushroom roots. I call it mycelium."
"The seeds germinate, grow roots, and then the entire plant grows from the roots. Is this what you mean?" Yu Xiaogang asked.
Chi Ping nodded, "Absolutely. The spores grow mycelium, and the mycelium grows mushrooms."
"What are spores?"
"It's just the seeds of mushrooms. They're small, but they're there."
"Can you tell me a little bit?"
"Master, please give me a piece of black paper."
The most indispensable thing for Yu Xiaogang here is paper, so he took one out from under the desk.
Chi Ping took the fluorescent mushroom and input soul power into it. Not long after, a burst of light brown mist sprayed out from under the cap. Only when the mist fell on the paper did he realize that it was dust-like particles.
Chi Ping kept outputting his soul power, and the particles split and grew, turning into white mycelium after a few minutes.
Mycelium grows, and mushrooms begin to sprout.
"Interesting, really interesting! Plant-type martial spirits can actually do this..."
Yu Xiaogang leaned on the chair and couldn't help but sigh.
He took out a pen and paper and wrote and drew on it.
After a long time, Yu Xiaogang asked: "When you awakened the martial soul, when the martial soul was summoned for the first time, was it like now, with fluorescent mushrooms growing from the mycelium?"
"That's when mushrooms appeared directly."
"Then how do you summon mycelium first and then fluorescent mushrooms like this? Did you develop it yourself?" Yu Xiaogang asked curiously.
"Yes. I used to observe the fungi in the corner at home out of curiosity and discovered mycelium and spores. Later, I awakened the fluorescent mushroom martial spirit myself and wondered if I could make it grow spores and mycelium. It turned out that it worked. "
Chi Ping's words made Yu Xiaogang fall into deep thought, "According to you, mycelium and spores are originally part of the fluorescent mushroom martial spirit. You just discovered the part that most people don't discover."
"Did your extraordinary soul power cultivation speed and recovery speed also appear after you discovered the hyphae and spore forms of fluorescent mushrooms?"
Chi Ping nodded.
Yu Xiaogang seemed to have understood something and murmured in a low voice: "Develop the martial soul deeply to stimulate more potential of the martial soul, thereby improving the talent of the martial soul. It makes sense. Is this an exception or is it common..."
This time Yu Xiaogang thought for a longer time. Chi Ping sat quietly on a chair practicing his soul power. Yu Xiaogang didn't say anything, and he didn't plan to leave.
He didn't withhold any information except the mycelium. As for what conclusions Yu Xiaogang could draw from this information, Chi Ping didn't know.
Although Yu Xiaogang looks slovenly, his dormitory is well kept, his things are neatly arranged, and there is no peculiar smell in the air.
The dormitory is transparent from north to south, with excellent air circulation conditions, and the indoor temperature is pleasant. The midsummer sunshine shining through the window into the room and falling on you is only warm, making you drowsy.
However, both Chi Ping and Yu Xiaogang are mentally resolute people. One thinks quietly while the other practices peacefully without disturbing each other.
When the bright red light fell on the paper on the desk, Yu Xiao just woke up from a dream and stopped using the pen with almost dry ink.
Sighing softly, Yu Xiaogang looked around blankly and found Chi Ping sitting quietly on a chair, with the radiance of milky white soul power lingering outside his body.
As if aware of Yu Xiaogang's gaze, Chi Ping opened his eyes before Yu Xiaogang spoke and stopped the circulation of soul power.
"master?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded and said, "Are you willing to be my disciple?"
Chi Ping was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said nothing.
Yu Xiaogang was not surprised and continued: "If you don't want to, forget it. But I have another suggestion. Are you willing to listen to it?"
Chi Ping nodded.
Yu Xiaogang smiled and said: "Your experience has given me a lot of inspiration, so I hope you can become my assistant and help me study martial arts theory. I wonder if you are willing?"
Chi Ping asked: "What kind of job does the assistant have and how is the salary?"
Yu Xiaogang said: "I want to study your ideas for developing martial arts. Plant-type martial arts may not only include individual plants, but also include all states of life, old age, sickness and death of plants. The reason why your talent has changed may be because you are studying fluorescence. The mushroom soul mutated unintentionally during its growth. These are two good subjects, and you are the only successful case. "
"So I'm your experiment?" There was no emotion in Chi Ping's words.
Yu Xiaogang shook his head, "You are the only successful case. It is impossible for me to use you as an experimental subject. But I will collect your experience during cultivation and enrich the theory. It will serve as a comparison for future experiments. In exchange, I will apply to the principal , I will give you a position as a teacher in the academy, so that you can enjoy the resources and treatment of a teacher. In addition, my bookstore will be open to you, and I will answer your questions in practice without reservation and help you practice better."
"Master, why do you give me such good treatment?"
Yu Xiaogang seemed to sigh with emotion, and sighed softly with joy, "Because I see my hope in you."
"Your hope?"
"Yes, my hope."
"I originally came from a powerful soul master family, but my martial soul deteriorated and mutated when I awakened, resulting in my cultivation level being unable to exceed level 29 for the rest of my life. Because of this degraded martial soul, my life went through many ups and downs, and in the end I only Can focus on the study of Wuhun theory."
"You want to solve the problem of martial arts through theoretical research?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded, "You are very smart. Before I met you, I had given up on this idea. I just wanted to find a suitable disciple to inherit the mantle and at the same time verify my previous theoretical results. My martial spirit is not worthy of my family. But I hope that my theory can add honor to the family, but your appearance gives me a glimmer of hope."
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were burning.
"Reverse the growth of the martial soul, trace the source, and develop it again. If the theory is true, it may be possible for my martial soul to develop again! Although at my age, I will never be able to become a powerful soul master, but I hope that I can at least To make up for that regret, if my martial spirit is the family martial spirit, or mutates in a good direction, my relationship with...her may not be broken..."
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang became depressed, as if he remembered something from the past that he didn't want to recall.
But soon, he adjusted his emotions and looked at Chi Ping, "How about it, are you willing to be my assistant?"
"good."
Chi Ping said softly.
"But I hope to remain a work-study student. I don't need the treatment of a teacher. I just hope that I can get help from you and the college when I obtain the soul ring in the future."
"no problem."
