Chapter 74 Master and Disciple Breakthrough
Kang Dabao should have reached the threshold of breakthrough long ago.

After he advanced to the fifth level of Qi training, perhaps because of drinking the bowl of spiritual dew, his training went very smoothly, with almost no bottlenecks, which had never happened in his previous training experience.

It was just that due to the preparations for the market, a lot of energy was spent on going out to do business and spread the news, which delayed my practice.

There was nothing worth mentioning about this breakthrough. Master Kang sat alone in the cloud room for two days and then broke through to the sixth level of Qi training like soup pouring on the snow.

In just two years, less than three years, he broke through two small realms.

For Kang Dabao, this speed can be regarded as a leap forward.

You know, it took Master Kang more than three years to practice from the first level to the second level of Qi training.

Kang Dabao was thirty-six years old this year, at the sixth level of Qi training, in the prime of his life. Logically speaking, there was still hope for building a foundation, but it was not great. If he was thick-skinned enough, he could still barely qualify by claiming to the outside world that he had hope for building a foundation.

Afterwards, Kang Dabao sat alone in the cloud room for a while, thinking back to the miserable days when he was stuck at the fourth level of Qi training and had made no progress for more than ten years. His mind suddenly became clear.

He then took out the Shutu Qingyuan Shield that Yuan Jin had specially made for him and began to refine and nurture it. This was also the first mid-grade magic weapon that Yuan Jin had refined. He failed eleven times before he succeeded.

Just taking into account the cost of materials, it is several times more expensive than buying one. It is also too heavy and clumsy, and consumes a lot of spiritual energy. It also only has the "solid" level of restriction.

The defensive effect was disappointing. Kang Dabao used all his strength, but facing Jiang Qing's serious sword attack, only a half-inch sword mark was left on the surface of the Shutu Qingyuan Shield.

However, despite having so many shortcomings, Master Kang also likes to use it. He feels that it is much smoother than the broken shield of the fourth son of the Liu family.

At this moment, a small animal crawled out from his sleeve.

Previously, when Kang Dabao was practicing, he had confined it inside his sleeve using magic.

It hadn't been able to come out for air for two whole days. At this moment, it was frowning and staring at Kang Dabao with its small eyes, looking very angry.

Seeing this, Kang Dabao picked it up and placed it in his palm. He touched his back to comfort him and coaxed him softly.

Unexpectedly, the little beast was not grateful. It turned its head arrogantly and pretended to bite Kang Dabao's short and fat fingers.

When it bit him, Kang Dabao smiled and pulled back his fingers to hide, and it chased after him with its short legs.

One hides and one chases, one chases and one hides.
The man and the beast played for a long time, until the beast seemed really annoyed by Kang Dabao's playing, so it immediately turned around, stretched out its chubby little head and bit Kang Dabao's leg hard.

The little beast hadn't even grown teeth yet, so how could it hurt the thick skin of Kang Dabao? Kang Dabao teased it for a while, then coaxed it into his sleeve to sleep.

The childhood of this spiritual beast is the same as that of humans. Sleep time is very important and takes up most of their day.

Not to mention, this creature was hatched from the spirit beast egg belonging to "Zang Liu" that was sent by Shan Gong, and it is naturally sleepy.

Lord Yin Shangong was even more fond of supporting the younger generation than Kang Dabao had heard in the rumors. This kind-hearted elder was much more generous than Kang Dabao had expected, and he was worthy of being a well-known and morally upright person in Yunjiaozhou.

According to the sect's classics, this spiritual beast is a crocodile turtle, which is quite rare in the Jackdaw Mountains. Kang Dabao thought the name was difficult to pronounce, so he simply named it Xiaoqi.

According to the notes left by the sect's predecessors, with normal and careful care and cultivation, this kind of spirit beast can generally grow into a second-level spirit beast after adulthood.

In other words, the probability of this little guy building a foundation when he grows up is much greater than that of Master Kang.

Of course, in this process, the owner must have spent a lot of effort and a lot of resources. Xiao Qi's appearance reminded Master Kang of the days when he first raised white-armored tortoises. He tried to find the shadow of his "turtle son" in Xiao Qi, but gave up after only a few attempts.

Although Xiaoqi is well-behaved and Kang Dabao really loves Xiaoqi, a "turtle son" is still a "turtle son".

That good child who was easy to feed, not picky about food, sleepy, greedy, and willing to risk his life to save him, can only live in his memory and cannot be replaced by anyone.

When Kang Dabao pushed open the door that had been closed for two days with a clear mind, the courtyard was filled with moonlight and the night was getting deeper.

There was no one else in the yard, only Jin Shilun was standing alone at the door of the cloud room waiting.

Although it was not the first time that he thought so, every time Kang Dabao saw Jin Shilun's martial arts figure and Pan An's appearance, he would still feel from the bottom of his heart that Grandpa Daozu was indeed a little biased.

This handsome young man now exuded a faint spiritual aura. How could Kang Dabao not know that his fourth disciple had already successfully led the spirit into his body?

The head of Kangda smiled and said, "Shilun, congratulations."

"Disciple greets Master." Jin Shilun bowed immediately, tears flashing in his eyes.

The so-called master is like a teacher and a father. Jin Shilun has been a disciple for nearly three years, but it was not until today that he was qualified to shout these two words to Kang Dabao for the first time.

For practitioners, the master-disciple relationship is the closest one, it is like the relationship between father and son, or even better than that between father and son.

This is no exaggeration, because there may be exceptions among low-level monks like Kang Dabao, but almost all high-level monks think so.

Take the true practice of foundation building as an example: once a Qigong practitioner has built his foundation, if nothing unexpected happens, he can live to be 240 years old.

If their descendants do not have spiritual roots to practice, their grandchildren and great-grandchildren may still be able to receive some blessings.

What about the future? When it comes to their great-great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, they may never speak a word to the foundation-building cultivators in their entire lives.

The master-disciple relationship is much closer and may last for hundreds of years.

Then, one can tell at a glance who is closer to the monks and their descendants, and who is distant from them, among their disciples.

The story of a master treating his disciples like his own children, and the disciples repaying the master's kindness after becoming immortals, is widely circulated in this world.

As for the situation where there is no friendship between master and disciple, but only interests, when the disciple's cultivation level reaches a certain level, he and his master will change their titles to fellow Taoists and interact as equals.

Generally, it would only appear in the sects of those demons who practiced the unorthodox ways. In the Shannan Dao at that time, it was actually quite rare.

Since today is the important day for the disciple to lead the spirit into his body, Master Kang put away his usual lazy attitude in educating his disciples. He first took Jin Shilun back to the cloud room and taught him carefully for a while.

But this warmth did not last long. He only explained the important matters, took out a few big books and told Jin Shilun to memorize them well, and then sent Jin Shilun to find Pei Yi.

It wasn't because he was lazy, he really had something important to do at that moment.
