Chapter 21 (1/2)
”My father is in the study. I'll take you there.”
The young man led Xu Ning to the study.
At the door, the young man took the lead in: ”Dad, Xu Ning came to visit.”
”Xu Ning? Let him in.”
Outside, Xu Ning heard Tao Yunmeng's voice.
After that, the young man came out: ”Xu Ning, go in.”
Xu Ning thanked softly, handed the gift to the young man and went into the study.
”Uncle Meng.”
Xu Ning saw Tao Yunmeng with a lamp in front of his desk.
Behind him stood a bookshelf full of books.
Judging from Tao Yun's fierce physique, he has a slight sense of contrast holding books.
”Xu Ning, sit down.”
Seeing Xu Ning, Tao Yunmeng put down the book in his hand and asked Xu Ning to sit down.
He had a smile on his face and an appreciation for his younger generation in his eyes.
Tao Yunmeng had an excellent impression of Xu Ning.
Before Xu Ning's solo practice to the great success of gale sabre, Tao Yunmeng remembered Xu Ning's outstanding talent.
After the conversation, he also found that Xu Ning was a modest and polite man.
After that, the young people who were optimistic about him in advance took risks to save people, were brave and righteous, and made themselves firm in their affirmation of Xu Ning.
So Tao Yunmeng was glad to see Xu Ning come to visit.
”What have you been doing lately?”
Although Xu Ning came for help, Tao Yunmeng took the initiative.
”Cultivate internal skills and go into the mountain to collect medicine.”
Xu Ning answered truthfully.
Tao Yunmeng nodded: ”internal skill is the foundation of cultivation. You must pay attention to it. Although it is very difficult to cultivate internal skill, you will benefit immensely after cultivation. Don't disturb your mind because entering the country is slower than cultivating external skill.”
Tao Yunmeng didn't ask Xu Ning about his progress, but gave some suggestions directly.
It's only more than 20 days since Xu Ning got his internal skill. In his cognition, Xu Ning can't cultivate his internal skill at all.
”I see, uncle Meng.”
Xu Ning didn't take the initiative to tell the fact that he had been promoted to the state of muscles and bones.
It is not too late to show it when it is necessary to expose its strength in the future.
”What's the income from collecting herbs in the mountains? If the income is average, I can entrust someone to arrange you a job with a higher income.”
Tao Yunmeng knows that Xu Ning's family is average, and cultivating martial arts itself needs to nourish with medicinal materials and even miraculous drugs from time to time, which consumes a lot.
”The income is good, but I have some trouble when I encounter beasts in the mountain.”
Xu Ning answered truthfully.
”How to trouble?”
Xu Ning said it deliberately. Tao Yunmeng guessed that this was the purpose of Xu Ning's visit.
”It takes a lot of trouble to escape when you encounter a beast. If you fight directly, you will be easily injured in close combat.” Xu Ning didn't hide it and directly explained his intention. ”I'm here to learn the external skill of door bow.”
”Learn bow external skill?”
Tao Yunmeng heard the speech and slowly locked his eyebrows.
”Yes, uncle Meng.”
Xu Ning nodded.
Tao Yunmeng put down the book in his hand and gently tapped his fingers on the table. He raised his eyebrows and eyes: ”Xu Ning, you know, on the premise that you have achieved great success in cultivating a skill, your energy should be more focused on cultivating internal skills. External skills are not fundamental after all. Learning more external skills will not bring a qualitative improvement to your strength.”
”Generally speaking, people who practice the second external skill have no choice but to improve their internal skills. If you don't practice internal skills and external skills now, you will waste your talent.”
Tao Yunmeng's tone was very sincere.
”Uncle Meng, I know.”
Xu Ning also has his own words: ”however, practicing bow is very important for me to protect my life in Yunze mountain. Only by protecting my integrity can I obtain resources and lay a foundation for practicing internal skills. Moreover, even if I practice bow, I won't delay my internal skill progress.”
Tao Yunmeng heard the speech and was silent for a moment. He thought what Xu Ning said was reasonable.
He finally let go: ”well, in that case, I'll give you a bow.”
”Thank you, uncle Meng.”
Xu Ning quickly got up to thank him.
Tao Yun waved his hand fiercely and told him, ”but you have to remember for me. For bowing, try it. Don't delve deeply, but delay your internal skill.”
”Remember, uncle Meng.”
Xu Ning answered.
After that, Tao Yun rushed out of the study and left Xu Ning waiting alone.
After a while, Tao Yunmeng came back with an old book in his hand.
”When I was young, I bought it from a poor martial artist.” Tao Yunmeng explained, ”I was still in the hunter team in the villa. I learned bow to defend myself in Yunze mountain. However, I didn't continue to study it after I reached a small success.”
With that, Tao Yun suddenly put the book in Xu Ning's hand.
Xu Ning took over, and the four words ”light feather bow” were engraved on the cover.
”Thank you, uncle Meng.”
Xu Ning thanks again.
