Chapter 1259 - entry-level mental cultivation method
Shen Jiucheng shook his head and said, "Silly girl, you don't understand. Of course I know that he has helped you before, but favors are favors, but the heart of martial arts is the foundation of our Shen family. The two cannot be confused. "
"Dad, how did you become so stingy!" Shen Jingyi could not help but say, "You're right, but think about it. With Ji Feng's status, wanting to obtain a martial arts mantra is not necessarily too difficult. If he borrowed it from you, he would not treat us as outsiders."
"So I agreed to lend it to him!" Shen Jiucheng said.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
Shen Jingyi shook her head. She felt that she couldn't communicate with her father anymore. "I'm a little tired, so I'll go up to rest first."
Shen Jicheng said, "Little girl, in the future, you will understand what I'm trying to do."
Shen Jingyi shook her head and said, "I don't think it's wise for you to do this. I'm going to rest."
Seeing his daughter turn around and go upstairs, Shen Jiucheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile. The little girl was still too young, there were many things that she couldn't think through.
Shen Jicheng admitted that his daughter's words made sense. With Ji Feng's ident.i.ty, it was not a big problem for him to obtain a martial arts mental cultivation method, and the current Wu Lin was no longer the martial arts Lin of the past. Even in the ancient times, there were martial arts manuals, goods, and the Emperor's family; many top martial arts experts would find jobs in the government.
This was even more the case now. Otherwise, why would so many people from the Martial family join the army, or be instructors in places like the army or police academy?
With the Ji Clan's power, it would not be difficult to obtain a martial arts mental cultivation method.
However, Shen Jiucheng had his own considerations.
Perhaps one day, the corporation might go bankrupt, and the family might fall into decline. However, as long as the martial arts mantra remained, the people of the Shen family would have the ability to live a peaceful life. This was something that could not be replaced by anything else.
Thus, Shen Jiucheng hesitated.
As for whether Ji Feng would have any grudges against him, Shen Jiucheng wasn't too worried. After all, he had heard more than once about the relationship between Ji Feng and Zhang Lei from Shen Jingyi. Even if Ji Feng had a grudge with Zhang Lei, it didn't matter.
Not only that, Zhang Lei had followed his mother's surname. This actually allowed the Shen Clan to keep a low profile, making a fortune out of nothing.
"Ji Feng, I'm afraid that my future father-in-law won't be too happy!"
Zhang Lei said the moment they arrived at the hotel room. At this moment, his face was slightly unsightly. Even though Shen Jiucheng didn't explicitly reject it and in the end, he agreed to it, but in reality, his att.i.tude had already explained everything.
Ji Feng said, "You can understand. If it had been me, I might have done the same. "After all, for a family of martial arts experts, the importance of a set of martial arts mental cultivation methods cannot be overemphasized."
Zhang Lei couldn't help but shake his head. This matter was done by Shen Jiucheng... How should he put it? In any case, he felt that it wasn't quite right.
He could not help but sigh to himself. It seemed that his future father-in-law had become more philistine. The longer he immersed himself in the market, the more people would be affected.
"If it doesn't work out, I'll tell him tomorrow!" Zhang Lei suddenly said, "Since he thinks you're an outsider, then I'll go ask him, right? I want to observe it for a bit. If he doesn't give it to me, then it would really be unjustifiable. "
"There's no need for that!"
Ji Feng shook his head and laughed: "Didn't Shen Jiucheng already agree to it? Besides, what's the reason for your asking? "
Zhang Lei said, "Like I said, I want to practice ancient martial arts. No matter what, I'm still the future son-in-law of the Shen family. So I can't be considered an outsider now, right?"
"You think that's a good enough reason?" "As long as I say it, no one will be willing to pa.s.s down the rights of a man or woman, and no one will pa.s.s on the rights of a woman to anyone else, you'll be doomed."
Zhang Lei was stunned.
He had never thought of this possibility. After hearing Ji Feng's words, he felt that it was truly troublesome.
"Let's keep it for tomorrow." Ji Feng laughed, "Since Shen Jiucheng has already agreed, he will definitely not go back on his word. Furthermore, there is a problem with your att.i.tude right now, I am the one begging him, not someone who owes me. Why would you take his martial art and mental cultivation method for granted?"
Zhang Lei snorted, "The Shen family doesn't owe you?"
Ji Feng laughed, "Alright, call the room service and have them bring some food and wine over. It's still early anyway, let's drink a few more cups!"
"That's good!"
Zhang Lei laughed heartily. He immediately picked up the landline phone in his room and called the room service.
Ji Feng was sitting on the sofa, lighting a cigarette. Although his expression was calm, he was inwardly frowning.
Shen Jiucheng's att.i.tude showed that he was truly unhappy in his heart, although he had agreed to it in the end, it was obvious that he was reluctant to do so. Normally, Ji Feng would definitely not be able to take this step, but in order to find the opportunity to break through to the fourth stage, Ji Feng could only wait.
The next morning, Zhang Lei knocked on the door and came in at daybreak.
"Lunatic, Jingyi called me just now and told us to go over." Zhang Lei said.
"Alright." Ji Feng nodded. He would know whether Shen Jiucheng was willing to take out the martial art manual or not today.
The hotel they were staying at wasn't far from the Shen household. It only took them ten minutes to get there by taxi.
When the two of them arrived at the Shen family, Shen Jiucheng and Shen Jingyi were already waiting for them. Seeing them, Shen Jiucheng smiled warmly and said, "Breakfast is already ready, let's eat first. Ji Feng, the martial art mental cultivation method that you wanted, I've already got someone to bring it from the old man. I'll give it to you after breakfast."
Ji Feng smiled and said, "Uncle Shen, thank you very much."
Shen Jiucheng waved his hand, "You're not outsiders, there's no need to stand on ceremony."
Zhang Lei patted Ji Feng's shoulder, "Let's eat first." Shen Jiucheng's performance today was pretty good, and Zhang Lei's originally somewhat angry mood also eased up quite a bit.
However, he was startled when he saw Shen Jingyi's expression.
Throughout the entire breakfast time, Shen Jingyi rarely revealed a smile. This made Zhang Lei feel that something wasn't right, but with Shen Jiucheng and his wife here, he didn't feel like asking directly.
After breakfast, Shen Jiucheng came down from upstairs with two booklets, "Ji Feng, these two books are our Shen family's martial arts and mental cultivation methods, I hope they will be of some help to you."
Ji Feng sincerely said, "Uncle Shen, I won't say anything polite. I can only say my thanks."
Shen Jicheng smiled as he waved his hand, "Alright, I still have some matters to attend to in the company. Just wait and see, I will be back by noon. If there's anything you're confused about, we can discuss it."
Ji Feng nodded his head, "Alright, Uncle Shen, you go ahead and busy yourself first."
He understood the hidden meaning behind Shen Jiucheng's words: he wanted Ji Feng to not bring the mantra back, so he should just watch from here.
Ji Feng didn't feel surprised. It was normal for those from the Martial Arts Aristocrat Clan to place such high importance on mental cultivation techniques.
"Ji Feng, take a look at the room." Shen Jingbin brought Ji Feng to the guest room.
"Scorching Sun Art!"
"Lifeless Technique!"
This was the name of the two martial arts mental cultivation methods.
Ji Feng first picked up the Fiery Solar Art and started to flip through it. The first thing he saw was the essence of the cultivation method of the Fiery Solar Art, followed by the chants and incantations for each level.
Ji Feng did not immediately watch, but flipped through the entire mental cultivation method. This was a habit of his, first looking at the whole thing, then looking at the details.
However, when Ji Feng finished reading the first mental cultivation method, he frowned.
There was only three levels of the Scorching Sun Art recorded in the thread-bound book, and it was at the level below the Houtian realm. Even if he practiced all three levels, he would still not be able to reach the peak of the Houtian realm.
He wasn't in a hurry, but carefully observed. In the end, he found that the first three levels were too low. The first level was to perceive the qi flow in the body, the second level was to form inner force, and the third level was to use inner force.
This was the beginning of the cultivation method!
Ji Feng picked up another set of Lifeless Martial Arts, and discovered that this one was a little better. It had the first four levels, which was one level higher than the Scorching Sun Art, but the difference was just a small realm higher.
If a normal person were to practice these two cultivation methods, as long as they were successful, they would definitely have a small amount of strength. At that time, once they learned the moves of a fist, they would be considered good experts for an ordinary outer sect expert!
However, to Ji Feng, this was almost negligible, and would not be of any help at all.
Chicken ribs!
Ji Feng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. No wonder Shen Jiucheng agreed readily after some hesitation yesterday. So it turned out that he had already thought about it long ago. What he had given was only the beginner's mental cultivation method.
If Ji Feng wanted to learn the entry level mental cultivation method, it would be sufficient for him to discuss it with Yang Bin. Furthermore, Yang Bin wouldn't hide anything from him, he would definitely explain in detail about the insights he had in cultivation.
This small trick of Shen Jiucheng left Ji Feng speechless. However, he couldn't say anything. He shook his head, picked up the two manuals and walked out of the room.
"Madman, why did you come out so quickly?" Zhang Lei asked in astonishment when he saw Ji Feng walking out.
"I've seen it. It didn't help me much." "Jingyi, I'll return these two cultivation techniques to you."
"Ji Feng, is there a problem?" Shen Jingyi couldn't help asking.
Ji Feng shook his head and laughed, "No, I was just sent here in a hurry. It's just that I didn't reap much rewards this time, but I did reap some benefits."
Zhang Lei looked at him and suddenly took the two cultivation techniques from Shen Jingyi's hands and immediately started reading them. He had a close relationship with Ji Feng, so naturally, he knew Ji Feng very well. Although Ji Feng's words were very relaxed, he felt that Ji Feng was not telling the truth.
Even though he was already mentally prepared, when Zhang Lei saw that there were two cultivation techniques, one with three levels while the other only had four levels, he suddenly took a deep breath, and with an incomparably gloomy expression, he raised his hands high up in the air. He bit his teeth a few times, and then forced himself to not throw the two cultivation techniques on the tea table.
"Well done!" Zhang Lei sneered coldly.
