Chapter 677: Chapter 303: A Brimming Splendor (Part 3)
This “Longevity Technique” is not sothing that ordinary people can cultivate. Without a Spirit Root in one’s body, it’s impossible to practice. Han Li, however, possesses a Spirit Root,
Doctor Mo views him as his hope for extending life, and thus spends great effort guiding him in cultivating this technique. But Doctor Mo has only a year left to live. From his perspective, Han Li has not yet reached the fourth level. Even after a year, he still might not enter the fourth level,
Doctor Mo’s life is running out of ti, and he harbors thoughts of killing Han Li out of frustration…”
Zhou Xuan paused at this point and asked, “Everyone, the story has co to this juncture, and I want to ask you a question. How do you think Han Li should decide?”
A storyteller won’t interact with the audience, but in a talk show, there are dedicated interactive segnts with the audience.
Without interaction, the story doesn’t feel distant, and the audience remains imrsed in the emotions of the tale, although it might make the atmosphere a little dull.
With interaction, the audience enjoys it more, and the atmosphere can beco lively, but they might forget the plot just told. When the story resus, there may be a disconnection.
Interaction and non-interaction both have their pros and cons. Zhou Xuan chose interaction but used the story’s plot to engage, creating an ambiance without the audience forgetting the preceding text,
When Zhou Xuan posed the question, many in the audience enthusiastically shouted, “Han Li will definitely admit his true level to Doctor Mo.”
“Doctor Mo has shown Han Li great kindness; Han Li should help Doctor Mo.”
“Perhaps Han Li will use the drops from the Divine Bottle to extend Doctor Mo’s life.”
Everyone in the audience had their own guesses but found it hard to break free from the frawork of “filial disciple, benevolent master.”
This is also a limitation of the tis. Every master, good or bad, would instill “It’s all for your own good” and “Master’s kindness is as heavy as a mountain,” brainwashing speeches, coupled with the novels and radio storytelling of the ti, either talking about heroes or the kindness of a master,
The vast public opinion made disciples in Mingjiang Prefecture never question—Is it always true that a master is kind to the disciple?
From Zhou Xuan’s perspective, being a master was more of a profession. A good person becos a good master, but if a bad person becos a master, do they suddenly change character and beco kind-hearted and generous?
Zhou Xuan assud a listening posture, nodding occasionally to the audience’s responses, conveying with body language that he was indeed seriously listening.
After listening for half a minute, Zhou Xuan gestured for the audience to quiet down, and imdiately, the room beca silent under his command.
“Ladies and gentlen, Doctor Mo is indeed in a master-disciple relationship with Han Li, but… does Han Li trust this master?
Zhang Tie was taught the Elephant Armor Technique by Doctor Mo and then mysteriously disappeared. With Han Li’s intelligence and caution at this mont, coupled with Zhang Tie’s precedent, how could he dare to gamble that Doctor Mo is a good person?”
“You just ntioned that Doctor Mo showed kindness to Han Li, but Han Li also has a life-saving kindness towards Li Feiyu. Yet, Li Feiyu put a knife to Han Li’s throat. With such experiences, how could Han Li, out of gratitude, hand over the initiative to Doctor Mo?”
“As for using the drops from the Divine Bottle to save Doctor Mo, Han Li is even less likely to do so. Those drops from the Divine Soul Liquid Bottle are incredibly precious. A master who would kill a disciple for not reaching the fourth level would definitely kill Han Li to take the Treasure Bottle upon seeing such a treasure.”
Zhou Xuan continued, “Faced with such a choice, what did Han Li do?
He promised Doctor Mo that he could break through to the fourth level within a year. Doctor Mo, having no other choice, could only believe in this promise but also explicitly stated that if Han Li couldn’t reach the fourth level after a year, not only would Han Li be killed, but so would Han Li’s parents and elder brother…”
The audience was instantly dumbfounded, never expecting Doctor Mo to be so sinister, soone who would use the disciple’s family as a threat, how could he be a good person?
“Han Li secured this year, what is he to do? Naturally, craftily and secretly strengthen; he plans to use the Divine Soul Liquid Bottle to elevate his power, cultivate the ‘Longevity Technique’ to the fifth, sixth, and even seventh level. As long as his strength is elevated, Doctor Mo would have no initiative, and the fate’s balance would return to Han Li himself,
One’s own life must be held in one’s own hands for peace of mind.”
Zhou Xuan’s words, like a sharp embroidery needle, pierced through the entire audience with one concluding remark.
The audience was montarily bewildered, wondering how the gentleman on stage was talking about a cultivation story, yet every sentence spoke to the minutiae of life?
Moreover, when Han Li’s secretive advancent was portrayed, everyone saw a vivid and three-dinsional Han Li erge from Zhou Xuan’s words, vividly walking out.
Simplicity and scheming, honesty and caution, kindness and fierceness—these opposite traits all concentrated in one person yet were not jarring, as though Han Li was ant to be this way.
Clap, clap, clap,
This ti, like a flood, the applause wasn’t Zhou Xuan’s prompted request but the people’s overflowing thoughts that couldn’t be contained, leaving them to only applaud.
Sincere applause outweighs a thousand words,
The people below the stage, of various identities, include young people who just ca to work in Mingjiang Prefecture, workers from various factories, even small and big bosses, wealthy rchants of Mingjiang, and a group of You Shen representing the highest authority of Mingjiang,
