Shi Lang followed Lao Yuesha, while maintaining his vigilance. He could not figure out the goal of this woman, after all, she was at least an Dao General, why did she agree to teach him. This was a cruel world, and the strong did not even bother to look at the weak as if they were just ants for them to walk over.
After following Lao Yuesha inside the forest, they arrived at a cave dwelling. The lady said, "My realm form is that of a Myriad Phyton, I am the only one left of my clan. This is where I live, co along."
Shi Lang followed her inside and they both sat down before each other after reaching the depths of the cave. The two of them did not talk, while the lady was appraising Shi Lang, the Terran was thinking at a very fast speed.
Lao Yuesha smiled and asked, "You have a lot of questions, ask away."
Shi Lang nodded before he said, "Why did you agree to teach ?"
The lady replied, "You are the first human who caught my eye after the great purge."
Shi Lang was confused and Lao Yuesha said, "The great purge was a mission started by the Verdant Green Holy Land, they wanted to secure the Blade Wood Forest and consu the resources of this place. The spirit beasts were not happy with them taking everything and damaging the place so the war began.
After three months and countless deaths, when the Verdant Green Holy Land was almost at the last leg, their founding ancestor made a move.
My clan was caught up in it, and they lost their lives. In response to that, many Spirit Beast Ancestors ca out of seclusion and they destroyed half the floating city which Verdant Green Sect was so proud of."
Shi Lang gulped and Lao Yuesha said, "Ever since then, humans think twice before they set foot in the blade wood forest."
The Terran nodded and Lao Yuesha asked, "You said that you want to train, what do you exactly wish to train in? I can see that your foundation is solid, you know what it is like to kill, and what it is like to face death. So, tell , how strong do you want to be and why?"
Shi Lang revealed his story without hiding anything from Lao Yuesha. The lady nodded and said, "You have a solid foundation, and can use your true essence very well. In the ancient tis, even if the people absorbed spiritual energy they did not have any understanding of martial techniques. The people only learned about them after watching the nature.
Among the plethora of creatures in this nature, a snake is blessed with the most elusive movent. Once a snake reaches a certain level, their speed will increase and it will be as quick as lightning and the flexibility in the body will provide it with the agility that would match the winds.
I can see that your spiritual energy is lightning based. This won't be difficult for you. However, the training will be strenuous."
Shi Lang thought about it and nodded. Lao Yuesha said, "For the night take so rest, we will being in the morning, also, don't drink the dew falling from the stalactites above. You will die."
The Terran was took shocked, and the lady said, "Every morning one drop of dew will condense over at the tip of the stalactite and it has the potency of an elixir that could promote an Immortal Sovereign the Dao Soldier realm, however, your body is not yet strong enough to handle the vitality."
Shi Lang thought about it and nodded, he had not been an Immortal Sovereign for a long ti and it was not suitable for him to break through so quickly. After much thinking he asked, "Teacher, where can I find Dao Law Fragnts?"
Lao Yuesha frowned and asked, "Where did you find that thing? The Dao Arena?"
Shi Lang nodded and the Myriad Snake Lady replied, "Don't tell you consud it?"
Shi Lang shook his head and answered, "No, Teacher, I have not yet absorbed the fragnt."
Lao Yuesha sighed and replied, "Good that you did not do any such things, many people don't know but these Dao Law fragnts are what the na implies, they are fragnted, incomplete. Humans have been trying to absorb them and find understanding about various Dao Paths, however, how can you find your own path by observing the path taken by soone else?"
Shi Lang was surprised but then this logic seed to make sense to him. He asked, "Then what is the use of the Dao Law Fragnts?"
Lao Yuesha smiled whispered, "The main ingredient of creating Dao Enlightennt Pill."
The Terran was surprised and asked, "Do you know the formula?"
This ti, Lao Yuesha was surprised and then she asked, "Do you understand Pill refinent?"
Shi Lang nodded and said, "I do have so experience of the pill refinent, however, I think the pill you ntioned must be among the most difficult formula of the immortal plane, right?"
Lao Yuesha nodded as she explained, "Yes, the people who can refine this pill can be counted on one hand. The ingredients are not difficult to find, you can find Dao Law Fragnts from the Yang Family, they collect many of these from the corpses of the ten thousand races. However, the issue lays in the pill fla."
Shi Lang was confused and asked, "What do you an by Pill Fla, Teacher?"
Lao Yuesha thought for a mont and said, "Every alchemist has a fla, which is called spirit fla. Condensed by spiritual energy or true essence. However, Pill Flas are different, they are found in places with extre yang, and not everyone can master them, only a few people can have these flas to accept them as a master. Only a Pill fla has the capability to lt the Dao Law Fragnt."
Shi Lang took a deep breath as he said, "I did not expect this thing to be so hard to lt."
Lao Yuesha nodded and continued, "Many alchemy sects in the world have pill flas in their vaults, if you are a talent, they will give you a chance to collect these flas and grow stronger. However, such talents lose their freedom, and it is extrely rare to co across a natural pill fla."
Shi Lang nodded. He said, "The immortal world is simple and yet it is at the sa ti very crude. The strong have absolute authority and they can change the fate of many. They manipulate the resources and ensure that no one else in the world grows as strong as they are."
The Myriad Phyton smiled as she said, "You are an odd one, as a human you despise your kind. Why?"
Shi Lang replied, "Because my kind has their head over the clouds. If they are so lost in the the vision for the future, they will eventually ruin the present. Their thoughts have tunneled into the future that could be changed by one wild creature creating chaos."
Lao Yuesha was stunned and then she chuckled loudly, she remarked, "Kid, I have a good feeling about you."
...
The two people chatted the night away, and in the morning, Lao Yuesha tossed out a spool of thread to Shi Lang. She said, "This spool is made from Crystal Silk Spider. You task is to run around every tree and tie this thread around the trees within seven kiloters. If the thread snapped, I will beat you up. Okay?"
Shi Lang had long understood that to grow strong he needed to work hard. He nodded and stood up from the ground. He inspected the spool first and then he dashed out. He moved very slowly at first and then Lao Yuesha said, "Kid, you have two hours to do this task."
Shi Lang sighed and ran fast, he was coming upon his seventh tree when his hand tugged on the spool and the delicate crystal-like thread, snapped.
The Terran froze and Lao Yuesha appeared beside him. Before he could react, she punched him in the side and flung him off his feet. Shi Lang hit a lot of trees and then caused tremors. When he stood up, he was dazed, his entire body seed to have been hit by a truck.
He regained his orientation and stood up from the ground. Lao Yuesha was sitting on a huge boulder. She said, "Hmmm, good that you have collected yourself so quickly, now move."
Shi Lang was back at it again, however, this ti he lasted till the eleventh tree before the thread snapped and he was punched. For the entire day, Shi Lang was tossed around like a rag doll and Lao Yuesha seed to be having fun, however, in the entire day, after being thrown around and beaten to the point where his soul was aching.
Shi Lang had covered three hundred nine trees. He never repeated the sa mistake, and Lao Yuesha mumbled, "This is going to be fun."
