-Lee Yun, did you spend several hours there, what made you choose the equipment for so long? - with a note of irritation and surprise asked Lee Shen.
- I did not know that the time of choice is limited. - Li Yun answered calmly, stepping closer to his father.
- Unlimited. But I have been conducting this ceremony for many years and no one has been in the technician hall for so long. Did it really take you so long to decide which of the four ancient techniques you want to master. - asked Lee Shen and never received an answer to his question.
- I was looking for a technique that suits me, the world does not revolve around four ancient techniques, in addition to them, there are many others. I chose the technique of body fusion. - honestly answered Li Yun.
- Body fusion technique? - Li Shen's face faded, he tried to remember something about this technique, but he couldn't do anything.
- This is a pair cultivation technique. - explained Li Yun.
After Li Yun's words, the mosaic in Li Shen's head began to take shape, he quickly guessed what this technique was like, at the same time becoming furious.
-Li Yun, you are the heir to the Li clan! shouted Lee Shen. - And you dared to choose a similar technique, with it your cultivation will stop, by the age of eighteen you will not even be able to achieve a bronze rank, you want the whole clan and the whole sect to laugh at you!
=Calm down, father, you know very well that I should not be the heir. - looking at Li Shen, Li Yun said, and the expression on his face changed dramatically.
- How do you know? - suppressing the anger that had just flared up in him, asked Li Shen. "No one knew about this except me, and you would not know, and you would become the next head of the Lee clan, if you did not choose such a mediocre technique."
- Firstly, I want to thank you for the fact that you raised me as your own son and for the fact that you have always been kind to me, however, it's not my clan and I'm not going to be its head, besides, you are still young and you can get a real heir. As for the technology, I chose it quite consciously, no matter what you think about it, it will help me in the implementation of my plans. - proudly said Lee Yun.
- Plans? Do you even understand how to cultivate this technique? Did you think that your lagging behind others will also affect me? - asked Li Shen, but much more calmly, in his heart he understood that everyone is free to make his choice, God, if he is wrong, besides, he loved Li Yun as his own son and if he had a good development, he would made every effort to make him the next head of the clan.
- Father, I understand how to cultivate this technique, perhaps even better than you, as for whether it will affect you, we will talk about it when the time comes, and not now. - smiling in all thirty-two teeth, said Li Yun. - And now I have to train, my sister was already waiting for me. - Li Yun added quickly, taking away his legs.
- Little rascal, don't dare to catch my eye! - Li Shen shouted after him. "If this technique were not so weak, I think I should have praised it." - thought bitterly smiling Lee Shen. - Rarely now you can meet someone who decided to choose their own path, regardless of the opinions of others. - and then, suddenly his face darkened again. - I hope he is not going to cultivate this technique with Li Yan, no, she will not agree, she considers him a sibling, moreover, they have not been getting along lately ...
After parting with his father, Li Yun immediately went to the mountain lake, where he was going to cultivate, climbing the path, it seems the first time he went here without hiding, he saw Li Yan. She sat in a lotus position and cultivated, the energy of ice circled around, making her look like a fairytale snow queen. Li Yun came closer, ten meters was enough so that they did not interfere with each other's cultivation and sat in the lotus position, closed his eyes, he felt the energy of the earth and sky and began to absorb it.
By the end of the day, both Li Yun and Li Yan reached the first star, it was now possible to say that their path as cultivators had begun, but they would still have to go a long way to become at least cultivators of bronze rank. In total, there are five stages of cultivation in this world - Bronze, Silver, Gold, Steel and Legendary. Each of them has ten stars, there is also one rank before bronze, it has no name but, like the rest, it is divided into ten stars.
-Li Yun, did you find what you wanted? asked Li Yan after they both finished cultivating and were about to go home.
- I think yes. - Li Yun said with a smile.
"And what kind of technique is this?" - clearly not believing in his words, asked Li Yan.
- The technique of body fusion, but I doubt that you heard about it. - admitted Li Yun. - Give me your hand.
Li Yan's face turned red, but still she extended her hand to him, clasping her palm with hers, Li Yun closed his eyes and began to cultivate, in the blink of an eye the qi energy flowed through their bodies, but the next instant Li Yan pulled her hand away and Li Yun I understood why they both felt it. This technique, even with a slight touch, completely exposed the bodies and souls of people, even closing his eyes Li Yun saw the completely naked figure of Li Yan sitting in front of him and felt that she sensed it, and also saw him.
-I ... I will never cultivate this with you ...- Li Yan cried, blushing like a tomato.
- I did not know that she works like that. - Li Yun honestly answered, be that as it may, but in such conditions it will be difficult for him to restrain himself, they will have to wait a while to start cultivating together.
