No one even knew that he was not in Bashan.

What does cultivation look like?

Or what is practice?

Everyone who is considered a practitioner in the world has different definitions in their hearts.

In Gu Liren's view, practice is a question, and a continuous transcendence.

When he got the first practice scriptures and the first sword scriptures in Bashan, he kept questioning whether these practice scriptures that had been circulating for many years were correct and whether those sword moves were reasonable.

Then he really found that there were many things wrong with it, and then he kept modifying it.

Every day is new, and the ripples rippling when every leaf falls into the river are a little different. How can there be a constant and correct practice technique and sword moves that will always be correct?

He is getting stronger and stronger.

Until someone like Yu Zuochi who is in a position to go with the flow is sure that he is not his opponent.

But he knew very well that his practice method was also problematic.

Because of talent.

Only those who have talents like him, or those who have higher talents than him, can practice like him.

So he is not as blindly confident as many famous teachers, believing that even some talented disciples can achieve amazing achievements under his training.

...

Gu Liren, wearing a blue shirt, slowly walked towards an inconspicuous inn at the end of the alley.

His hair was simply tied with a cloth strap, and the coarse blue shirt on his body was extremely simple, without any patterns or accessories.

Of course, he could not foresee that his outfit would become the most popular outfit for men in Qin for a long time in the future. Even many years later, most of the practitioners in Qin still liked such outfits the most.

This is a border town.

In the past ten years, this border town has changed hands several times, sometimes belonging to Zhao, sometimes belonging to Qin, and now belonging to Qin.

This place is very far from Bashan, and of course the scenery is very far from each other.

Some county towns in Bashan and restaurants and inns in the towns are filled with jars of meat and sausages he likes, but the most cooked in the inns here is sour soup fish.

When he walked into the yard of the inn, a boy in a shabby cloth was drinking sour soup fish.

The young man was not burly, his hair was a little messy, and his worn-out cloth clothes were stained with some blood and animal fur.

However, Gu Liren looked at the boy, his eyes gradually lit up.

He smiled.

The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Even if the smell of sour soup made his nose wrinkle slightly, even if the boy was too lazy to spit out fish bones when eating fish, the more he liked it.

"I've been looking for you for a long time and finally found out that you're here."

He walked straight forward, sat down opposite the boy, and said with a smile. "You probably don't know how difficult and lucky it is to start with a skin and find you."

"What?"

The boy frowned slightly and pushed the bowl aside. He carefully looked at the man in blue clothes sitting opposite him. Looking at the other party's clear eyes and serious expression, and when he felt that the other party seemed a little handsome and didn't look like a city man here, he finally confirmed that the other party was not sick or joking, so he added in confusion, "What animal skin."

"A tiger skin."

Gu Liren looked at the boy, gestured around his neck, clicked a position, and said, "There is a hole here."

The boy thought for a while and thought, "What should I do?"

"It should be stabbed to death with such bamboo?"

Gu Liren looked at a purple bamboo on the stool beside the boy and said seriously: "I have seen many people stabbing beasts or people with such bamboos, but I have never seen a hole that is stabbed like this. I think it should be a hole that is stabbed by a person who is not strong enough and is not a practitioner."

"Later, I spent a lot of effort to ask who sold the animal skin. Finally, I found out that it was a teenager here, and then I came."

Gu Liren looked at the boy and began to be filled with joy, even feeling that it was a miracle given by God.

"Are you sick?"

He was full of joy, but the boy frowned deeply.

Gu Liren was stunned.

"Even if it's me, even if I stabbed a beast to death with this bamboo, what does it have to do with you? I spent so much effort to find out where the animal skin was sold for what?" The boy looked at him, his eyes full of vigilance.

"Because I want to find a successor." Gu Liren knew that he was too happy and a little abrupt, and smiled awkwardly, saying, "If you do have the talent I think, I want to teach you how to practice."

The boy looked at him strangely and said, "What are the benefits of me?"

Gu Liren was stunned again.

Only then did he realize that for ordinary young men in Changling, if they knew that there were practitioners who wanted to teach them to practice, they would be ecstatic. However, here, in such a place, the young men here probably wouldn't even know what they practiced.

"Do you know what a practitioner is?"

So he looked at the boy and asked seriously.

"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it." The boy said with a frown.

"Cultivation is a very interesting thing." Gu Liren looked at him with a smile and said, "Knowing the method of practice and knowing how to absorb the essence of heaven and earth will have a very powerful force and can do many things that you cannot imagine at the moment."

The boy thought for a while and said, "For example?"

Gu Liren also thought about it. He glanced at the boy's chopsticks, and then the pair of chopsticks in the boy's hand suddenly broke.

"In many story books, there is no difference between practitioners and immortals. Practitioners will live longer and have many supernatural powers that ordinary people cannot imagine, such as powerful practitioners who want to kill you, just look at you and die unless you are also a practitioner."

Gu Liren looked at the shocked boy and said seriously.

The boy looked at the chopsticks that were cut without any warning, and looked at the cut that was extremely smooth, his brows frowned deeply and said, "If I don't agree, will you kill me?"

Gu Liren smiled bitterly and said, "It shouldn't be, but I thought you wouldn't have so many questions after hearing this, so shouldn't you agree happily?"

"Then I won't agree."

The boy refused decisively.

Gu Liren was stunned again. This time he was stunned for a long time before he spoke again and asked, "Why?"

"Because I know that there are many practitioners, you are too reckless." The young man looked at him seriously and said, "Because of a skin, I think I am different from others, so I excitedly spend so much effort to find me. I think you are not only reckless, but also impulsive. In the world of practitioners, I'm afraid you will be easily killed. It seems that you will not be beneficial to me when you teach me to practice."

Gu Liren listened to his reasoning and laughed silently, but he was not angry in his heart. He looked at the boy more and more happy.

"I'm not as reckless as you think. Because I'm different from ordinary people, I can see the extraordinary in that hole. Also, I have someone to help you find you... I also found several animal skins that should be from your hands. So this is not a coincidence. You should be very talented. You have intuition that ordinary people can't reach. The key is that if you kill these beasts alone, I don't know how you can be so calm and kill them so easily. After all, you are not a practitioner." Gu Liren thought about it seriously and then laughed, "And, there may be people in the world who can defeat me, but there should be no one who can kill me. So your concerns do not exist."

The boy frowned, and he felt that this person was too angry.

"You use this bamboo to stab me."

Gu Liren looked at him, and his eyes showed a strong look of expectation, "Don't show mercy, really don't."

The boy thought about it and didn't say much.

His hand moved, and he didn't even stand up, the purple bamboo at his hand had already pierced out.
