Chapter 21 Cultivation starts from childhood!
Lin Hao answered almost without hesitation: "Impossible!"
Xue Beng didn't give up, walking sideways in front of Lin Hao. With his chin slightly raised and an arrogant expression, he pointed at himself with his thumb, "I'm a prince. Following me will ensure you live a life of luxury. Call me 'boss,' you won't lose out!"
Lin Hao's attitude remained unchanged: "I don't care."
Avalanche stopped, put his hands on his hips, faced Lin Hao, and cursed, "Are you crazy? You're stupid enough to refuse such a good thing."
Without hesitation, Lin Hao retorted, "It's not me who's sick, it's you."
Avalanche paused for a moment, then stared intently at Lin Hao. "Why? Why can't you call me 'boss'?"
Lin Hao said, "I know a little about the royal family's secret history. Calling you 'boss' is like getting on your pirate ship, and I'll become His Highness the Crown Prince's enemy in the future."
Xue Beng was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that the six-year-old boy in front of him was extraordinary, looking as profound as an adult.
He wasn't originally like this; he was forced to be this way because of his elder brother, the Crown Prince.
Several years ago, His Majesty wanted to make the eldest prince the crown prince.
Even without the eldest prince, who possesses both virtue and talent, the second prince's talent for cultivation surpasses that of Xue Qinghe.
In short, it's not Xue Qinghe's turn to be the crown prince.
Just a few years ago, the eldest prince and the second prince died suddenly one after the other. When the investigators were halfway through their investigation, His Majesty Xue Ye suddenly issued an edict appointing Xue Qinghe as the crown prince and forbidding any further investigation into the cause of death of the two princes, ruling that they died suddenly from illness.
On the same day, Prince Xuexing solemnly instructed Xuebeng that if Xuebeng wanted to survive, he must diligently tarnish his own reputation, portraying himself as someone incapable of achieving great things and posing no threat to the crown prince's position.
Avalanche's eyes were deep as he gazed into the distance, his tone disdainful, "Hmph, so you're a coward after all!"
Lin Hao possessed exceptional talent. Xue Beng was shrewd and reserved, patiently waiting for the right opportunity to recruit suitable geniuses for future changes.
This is the third time they've come to harass Lin Hao.
Avalanche claimed that he was forcing Lin Hao to call him "boss," but in reality, he was using the role of a spoiled brat that Lin Hao had to play to recruit geniuses.
Previously, Avalanche had used the same method to force others to call him boss.
Avalanche suddenly changed the subject, jokingly suggesting, "How about I call you boss, I'll be the little brother, and you be the big brother?"
Lin Hao shook his head again.
Xue Beng frowned slightly and questioned, "Are you really that afraid of becoming the Crown Prince's enemy?"
Lin Hao frankly admitted, "Besides that, the main reason is that I don't want you to affect my state of mind!"
Avalanche paused, then asked, "State of mind?"
Lin Hao said, "What I have lost is not truly mine; what I have sought is what I am bound by; all things are for my use, not for my possession; a wise man uses things, but is not used by them; the great way is simple: without desire, one is invincible; without action, one can accomplish anything. This is the forty-six-character mantra for cultivating my mind."
Avalanche blinked, not understanding Lin Hao's words. "What are you talking about?"
Cultivating a state of mind?
Avalanche has never heard of mental cultivation.
As for the incantation that Lin Hao uttered, Xue Beng had never heard of it before. Xue Beng seemed to understand it, yet he didn't quite grasp it.
Lin Hao offered no explanation, turning his back coldly to the avalanche. "Go away, and don't disturb my cultivation again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Douluo Continent is a sewer of fantasy.
The sewers in the fantasy world are also a fantasy world.
The higher the level of cultivation for cultivators in higher planes, the more important it becomes to cultivate their mental state.
For example, there's "Covering the Sky," "Perfect World," and "Against the Gods."
In the Douluo Continent, there is a legendary swordsman named Chen Xin who has comprehended sword intent.
Lin Hao felt it was necessary to start cultivating his mindset from childhood.
Whether or not it comprehends a certain morality in the future, it will always possess a heart of righteousness and integrity.
After filtering through all the religious knowledge he had acquired in his previous life, Lin Hao finally chose the Taoist Righteous Qi Mantra, which best suited his personality, as the sole mantra for cultivating his mind.
Avalanche's lips curled slightly as he touched the storage soul tool with his fingers, taking out a long object that was tightly wrapped in cloth.
It was long and narrow, exceeding one meter in length. A buzzing sound came from inside.
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Hao reacted and turned around to look behind him.
Just as Lin Hao finished turning around, the sound of an avalanche came.
"That's not up to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Beng recognized the item in Lin Hao's hand.
With his other hand, he lifted the cloth covering the item and threw the contents at Lin Hao.
Good guy.
It wasn't a stick, but a swarm of bumblebees.
Lin Hao's pupils contracted slightly. The sudden change caught him off guard.
The avalanche seemed to foresee Lin Hao's tragic end. As it turned and descended the mountain, it said, "Good luck. I'll come find you again tomorrow!"
However, after running a few steps, he noticed that there were no screams behind him as expected, nor the buzzing sound of bee stings. It was quiet behind him.
The avalanche slowly came to a stop and turned to look behind it.
An unbelievable scene unfolded.
Lin Hao then released his martial soul, Blue Silver Grass. The swarm of bees, which should have been rioting, all quietly clung to the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass, which radiated a life-giving light.
Lin Hao was furious and approached the avalanche step by step. "I already said, if you disturb my cultivation again, don't blame me for being impolite. I just warned you, and you dare to disturb my cultivation again immediately!"
The avalanche was shocked and asked in fear, "What do you want? I'm warning you, don't do anything rash."
Lin Hao suddenly laughed, looking at the swarm of bees resting on the Blue Silver Grass leaf in his hand, and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless. At most, I'll just make you suffer the consequences!"
As the last word escaped Lin Hao's lips, he activated his first soul skill, causing the Blue Silver Grass to grow rapidly under the influence of its life force. Like a whip, it lashed out towards the avalanche.
The Avalanche Martial Spirit possessed him, blocking the attack.
It was at this moment that Lin Hao suddenly withdrew the Blue Silver Grass.
"Buzz!"
The beehive landed, and a swarm of bumblebees, seeing the avalanche as a destroyer of their home, relentlessly attacked it.
The bumblebee's stinger is long and thin.
Each bumblebee is as big as a hammer. Its stinger will not fall off due to an attack.
Avalanche was only a first-ring Soul Master and couldn't withstand the swarm of bees. Before long, he was stung so badly that his head swelled up like a pig's head.
Avalanche's eyes gleamed with defiance, and his swollen lips slurred, "You just wait, I won't let this go!"
Lin Hao raised his left eyebrow slightly. "Entangle!"
Blue Silver Grass instantly emerged, binding Xue Beng's feet and pulling him in front of Lin Hao.
Lin Hao sat on the belly of the avalanche.
Avalanche's eyes widened in confusion as he asked, "What else do you want to do to me?"
Lin Hao angrily retorted, "How dare you threaten me!"
