Chapter 78: Yu Xiaogang's Bodyguard
[Yu Yuanzhen's study.]
["You're saying you want me to go to Spirit City with Xiaogang? What made you think of going to Spirit City?"]
[In front of Yu Yuanzhen, a middle-aged man of medium build with a square face and long dark blue hair looked at him in disbelief, his face full of confusion.]
["Lin Lang, you should know that Xiaogang is different from ordinary children; his intellect is extraordinary."]
["As for the path he wants to take in the future, he has had his own plans for a long time."]
["For instance, regarding his choice of spirit rings, he intends to follow the Extreme Path. However, his Spirit is of the light attribute, and the Sect doesn't have many records of light attribute Spirit Beasts."]
["Furthermore, regarding how a light attribute Spirit Master should Cultivate later on, in the entire Douluo Continent, which power's experience can compare to the Qian family of Spirit Hall?"]
["One might be able to make do with spirit rings, but you should be the most aware of how important cultivation experience is, right?"]
[The Spirit Master named Lin Lang couldn't help but fall silent upon hearing this.]
[Because Yu Yuanzhen was absolutely right.]
[If there's truly no other way for spirit rings, you can choose one type of Spirit Beast, find them at different ages, and choose the same species for all your spirit rings.]
[While this approach might result in all your Spirit Abilitys being more or less the same, it isn't considered a wrong method.]
[But cultivation experience is a different matter.]
[In the Early Stage of a Spirit Master's cultivation, one only needs to meditate, meditate, and meditate more to increase their spirit power.]
[However, after reaching the level of Spirit King or Spirit Emperor, it can no longer be just pure meditation.]
[At that point, a Spirit Master must deepen their understanding of their Spirit and gradually grasp its true power.]
[Never underestimate these things. Often, it's precisely because of this that countless Spirit Masters get stuck at a certain Rank and cannot advance a single step.]
[For example, if a Spirit Master with a thunder attribute Spirit chooses to keep their mind as calm as water and tries to be all-encompassing all day long...]
[...that would be a mistake.]
[Because the thunder attribute is one of the swiftest and most explosive among all attributes.]
[Cultivating with a mindset of being as calm as water and all-encompassing will only be counterproductive.]
[The mindset one should truly possess is one that is flamboyant, powerful, aggressive, and decisive.]
[This is what is meant by Spirit Master cultivation experience.]
[The reason Lin Lang was so clear about these matters was that, in the past, it was for this very reason that he joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Lin Lang was originally a commoner Spirit Master with an Innate spirit power of Rank seven.]
[This talent was already considered very outstanding among commoner Spirit Masters.]
[Relying on his talent, Lin Lang's Early Stage cultivation was smooth sailing. He thought that at this pace, becoming a Spirit Saint or even a Spirit Douluo would be easy.]
[But after Rank fifty, he found that his cultivation speed plummeted.]
[Under normal circumstances, with an Innate spirit power of Rank seven and no mistakes in spirit ring selection, reaching the level of Spirit Saint should have been quite easy.]
[But his speed just slowed down.]
[Lin Lang sought out many people, and they all felt his spirit ring configuration was fine, but none knew why his cultivation speed had slowed.]
[Finally, after wasting several years, Lin Lang could no longer bear such progress and, at a friend's recommendation, came to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[As they shared the thunder attribute Spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's cultivation experience easily solved Lin Lang's trouble.]
[Only then did Lin Lang realize what the foundation of a great power truly meant, thus giving rise to the idea of joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Later, by chance, Lin Lang met Yu Yuanzhen, and the two got along very well.]
[At Yu Yuanzhen's invitation, Lin Lang finally agreed to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Today, he is already a Rank eighty-one Spirit Douluo, holding the Rank of Guest Elder.]
[However, despite being a Guest Elder, Lin Lang still held great respect for Yu Yuanzhen.]
[This was because his seventh and eighth spirit rings were both obtained with Yu Yuanzhen's help.]
[It was precisely because of this relationship that Yu Yuanzhen would ask him to accompany Yu Xiaogang to Spirit City.]
["Since you've personally asked, Sect Master, then alright, I agree."]
[Ultimately, after some thought, Lin Lang chose to accept the mission of protecting Yu Xiaogang.]
[After all, the current Yu Xiaogang was no longer the Yu Xiaogang of the past. Anyone with eyes could see that as long as he grew up normally, he would become a powerhouse in the future.]
[Building a good relationship with such a future powerhouse was no loss for him.]
["Good, I'm glad you're willing. It just so happens your youngest son is about to undergo Martial Soul Awakening. Do you want me to set aside some good medicine for you?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen stood up and walked to Lin Lang's side with a smile on his face.]
["Then I thank the Sect Master."]
[Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Lin Lang was also somewhat excited.]
[Now, the entire Douluo Continent knew that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had discovered a treasure that could improve a Spirit Master's Physique and increase the age limit of the spirit rings they could obtain.]
[But as for what that treasure actually was, no one knew.]
[Other powers tried to deduce the answer from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's resource purchase lists, but everything seemed normal, and it didn't appear the Sect was buying anything extra.]
[Furthermore, when Sect members used this treasure, the Sect Elders would take concealment measures.]
[Relying on a control system Spirit Master to numb the five senses, they would then enter a small dark room.]
[By the time they came out, the process was already complete. Thus, even the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect themselves had no idea what the thing actually was.]
[To use it to improve one's Physique, outsiders had to go through trade, while internal members had to queue and apply.]
[Lin Lang had originally planned to apply to the Sect recently, but he hadn't expected Yu Yuanzhen to take the initiative to offer it to him.]
[Then he would definitely complete this mission well, no matter what.]
["Hehe, Little Wolf, when you're by Xiaogang's side, don't just treat him as an ignorant child who's still in school."]
["Pay attention to Xiaogang's every move. If you encounter something you don't understand or can't see through, don't put on airs—just go and ask him directly."]
["Trust me, even as a Spirit Douluo, you can learn a lot from him. Even if you can't use it, your descendants might be able to."]
[Yu Yuanzhen looked at Lin Lang with a meaningful expression on his face.]
[Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Lin Lang scratched the back of his head in confusion.]
[However, out of respect for Yu Yuanzhen, he still kept this in mind.]
[Seeing that Lin Lang had taken his words to heart, Yu Yuanzhen nodded in satisfaction.]
["The person to protect Xiaogang has been arranged. Next is the matter of Spirit City. Should I write a letter there?"]
[Stroking his chin, Yu Yuanzhen ultimately shook his head.]
["I should make a trip to Spirit City personally. It's also a good opportunity to deliver Xiaogang there myself."]
