Chapter 42: Qianji Sect’s Cultivation Method

After waiting in the living room for about half an hour, Zichao and Zimu both came out of the kitchen, holding plates of food and shouting to them, "Dinner is ready!"

The dinner was very sumptuous. Zichao and Zimu cooked a whole table of dishes. There were five hard dishes in the cooked food alone: ​​curry beef brisket, spicy shrimp tail, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, garlic oysters, and chopped pepper fish head. There were two soups. One was a fish soup with tofu and various mushrooms, which tasted salty. The other was a porridge that looked sweet, which should be made from vegetables and fruits in this world.

Several people took their seats one by one, with Zichao sitting at the head of the table, Zimu and Jiang Xiaoli sitting on the left and right, Shangguan Chuang sitting next to Zimu, and Su Xier and Shangguan Qi sitting on the side of Jiang Xiaoli. The table was spacious, but it was automatic, so there was no need to worry about not being able to pick up the food.

"Miss Xier, I heard from Zimu that it was you who cured Xiaohuo, right?" Jiang Xiaoli sat next to Su Xier, picked up a piece of curry beef brisket for Su Xier with chopsticks, and asked gently.

After half an hour of getting familiar with the place, Su Xier no longer had the initial restraint she had at first, and now she exuded the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

"Ah! Thank you, Auntie." Su Xier took the beef brisket from Jiang Xiaoli with a bowl and said with a smile, "It's not entirely my credit! Even without me, Zimu could have solved the sequelae of Xiaohuo."

Zi Mu, who was standing by, smiled faintly after hearing this and said, "Without your help, I might not have been so successful, and I might have failed in my attempt to cut through the mist."

Zi Mu brought up a popular gaming term in this world. Although the main purpose of coming to this world is to train elves, Zi Mu will also take time out to find fun games in his spare time. After all, he is a game fan.

The example he gave was quite realistic, it was exactly what happened to him in the game, and the general meaning was the same as returning empty-handed. The reality was the same, if it wasn't for Su Xier's help, Zi Mu wouldn't have been able to help Young Kiras meet Bankiras so smoothly.

Although there is dream energy, Zi Mu does not think that Bankiras, who has the strength of a quasi-king, is so easy to talk to. If it were not for the good words of Young Jilas, whether Bankiras would be willing to help him is another matter.

"Okay, Xier, don't be so polite. Since you helped Zimu, if you need any help in the future, just tell your aunt. I will let Zimu do his best to help you!" Jiang Xiaoli obviously had a very good impression of Su Xier from the previous contact.

"Actually... Zi Mu also helped me a lot." Su Xier lowered her head and thought about it. Although it was a loan, she had to say that the purple jade pills that Zi Mu bought for her did solve her urgent problem. If she really had to count them, the cause and effect between the two of them had been settled.

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and shook her head. Looking at Zi Mu who was concentrating on eating, she coughed in a targeted manner. Zi Mu was so scared that he looked up suddenly and almost got the rice into his nose.

"What's wrong, mother?" Zi Mu wiped his mouth with a tissue, blew his nose, and looked at Jiang Xiaoli's serious expression with a confused look on his face.

"I just heard from Xi'er and Shangguan Chuang that aren't the three of you going to take the entrance exam to Tianhai's No. 1 Elf Academy? But you have the lowest affinity right now!"

Jiang Xiaoli's words were true. Although Shangguan Chuang was not good at academic subjects, his Pokémon affinity was as high as 20. Once he passed the certification, he would be officially an intermediate Pokémon trainer. Su Xier had already passed the certification of an intermediate Pokémon trainer and had reached a Pokémon affinity of 22!

Zi Mu hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I just delayed the improvement of my elf affinity some time ago. Now there is more than a month before school starts, so it should be no problem to reach 20 elf affinity."

Zi Mu's affinity with the elves is now at its peak of 18 points, and it should break through in the next two days. Increasing the affinity with the elves a little bit in a month is not a big problem for him now.

"And the entrance exam doesn't just look at the affinity with the elves. The level of the elves and how well they are used are the most important."

Although Zimu has the lowest affinity with the elves among the three, his elves are of the best quality. Although he did not improve himself during the wasted year, the level of the Strong Chicken has been improving. After a series of events in the Tianhai Great Forest, it has now reached level 17!

In comparison, Shangguan Chuang's initial Pokémon, Stottle, has just evolved and barely reached level 16, and his second Pokémon, Snow Boy, is still in an egg.

Although Su Xier has many Pokémons, their levels are generally not high. The Monkey King is level 15, while Larulas and Sharknado are only level 14.

"Yeah." Zi Chao, who was sitting in the seat of the head of the family, also put down his chopsticks and spoke, "The quality of the Pokémon is very important, but the training of the Pokémon trainer himself should not be underestimated. The two complement each other, and there must be no bias!"

This is the philosophy that Zimu has been instilled with since he was a child. Zichao has always asked him to keep the affinity of the elves close to the level of the elves. In fact, this principle is very easy to understand. After all, this is the training routine for the national champion.

"I don't have much to do recently. If you three are willing, I can take you for special training this month."

Zi Chao had just broken through 60 Pokémon affinity recently, and once he passed the certification, he would be a formal gym-level trainer. Of course, he had no intention of joining a gym, so when Zi Mu's talent returned, he had a rare moment of leisure.

Shangguan Chuang and Su Xier looked up at Zichao, both sizing up the seemingly ordinary man in front of them.

In their impression, Zichao's affinity is indeed quite good among ordinary people, but in their higher vision, Zichao's age as a gym trainer may not be very outstanding.

But what they don’t know is that Zichao’s training path is different from that of ordinary trainers.

He didn't deliberately improve the affinity of the elves. His training principle was that the elves' level closely followed Zichao's elves' affinity. If the elves' level did not meet his requirements, he would deliberately compress the improvement of his own elves' affinity, and then after the breakthrough, the elves' affinity would increase significantly.

In other words, his current affinity with the elves might not be 50, but 55 or even higher.

Zichao's training method of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger has both advantages and disadvantages. The improvement is slow, but the upper limit is high.

His first-tier elves generally reached level 50, and two of them had already reached level 50. After Zichao's affinity exploded, several higher-level elves would also explode to a certain extent.

The two complement each other, and as long as he can break through, his spirit affinity and spirit level will increase rapidly, approaching the next level. In this life, he only needs to keep looking for opportunities to break through.

When this training method was first discovered, it did set off a wave of enthusiasm, but soon it gradually faded away and few people adopted it. This is because most people think that honest training breakthroughs are far more realistic than these "gambling" breakthroughs. After all, if there is no opportunity, it is very likely that talent will be wasted and you will stay at a certain stage for the rest of your life.

It is worth mentioning that whether it is the contemporary Chinese champion or the contemporary Chinese ordinary king, they all adopt this training method. One is gifted, and the other is almost untalented, but both have reached a very high level because of this training method.

With the success of these two people, this training method has gradually returned to people's attention again. In recent years, a new school of trainers has been formed - Qianji.

Seeing Su Xier and Shangguan Chuang's friendly yet suspicious looks, Zi Chao smiled rarely and spoke confidently.

"Formally introduce you to the Qian Ji Sect gym-level trainer, Zi Chao."
