The "basic training" assigned by Ren Changsheng to Pan Long are really some very basic things.

The first training is ignition.

It is not about using a fire sickle to make fire, nor is it about drilling wood to make fire, and of course it is not about using internal force to ignite a fire, but about holding a stick of incense there, so that Pan Long can use his fists or weapons, in short, let the attack pass by it, just ignite it, but it cannot move at all.

This is not difficult for Pan Long, it is nothing more than exerting force and closing force quickly. He can do it completely.

But Ren Changsheng gave him a jade talisman and asked him to practice with the jade talisman.

After putting on the jade talisman, Pan Long immediately found that his internal force had become stagnant, and he was no longer as flexible and smooth as before.

The internal force is not flexible enough, and the force is still strong, but the force cannot be increased faster.

With a palm swept across, the incense was lit, but the way it ignited was to burn from top to bottom.

To be precise, it was directly shaken into debris by Pan Long's palm force, and then the debris burned. In just a few seconds, it completely turned into a piece of ashes, leaving a large cloud of smoke.

Without Ren Changsheng's words, Pan Long's face turned red.

"Internal force, haha, internal force." Ren Changsheng laughed twice, his voice sarcastic, "Many people think that I am not strong enough, my speed is not strong enough, and my control is not strong enough... It doesn't matter, I have internal force. If my strength is not strong enough, my internal force is supplemented, my speed is not strong enough, and my control is not strong enough to assist..."

"These ideas are certainly OK in actual combat. After all, fighting is a life-and-death matter. No matter what method is used, it is a good idea to kill the opponent. If you can install a crossbow behind the opponent and shoot an arrow, it will be extremely exquisite and amazing."

"But you can't have this mentality when practicing. Internal strength is a good auxiliary tool, and it can even be said to be omnipotent. But if you can do it yourself, you can use more internal strength in more needed aspects."

"What if my internal strength is high enough?" Pan Long asked.

Ren Changsheng glanced at him: "Manpower is sometimes poor, and the internal strength grows to a certain extent and reaches its limit. The internal strength that flesh and blood can carry is limited after all. Otherwise, why do you think innate masters pursue 'physical disparity'?"

"But I have cultivated to 'body dissatisfaction'."

"There is also a limit to physical dissatisfaction." Ren Changsheng said, "Anyway, internal energy can only be practiced for a while a day. Practicing too long is harmful and useless. What's wrong with making time to practice control of the body?"

"And..." he hesitated for a moment and said, "Many times, internal strength may not be as useful as the body."

Pan Long asked curiously: "What's the specific situation?"

"In the future, when you walk around the world, you may encounter demons... Demons all have special abilities, many of which can completely ineffective internal strength. Faced with that kind of demon, unless you cultivate to a soul and can ignite magic power from the soul, you can only fight on your own body."

Ren Changsheng showed a look of memories: "I had encountered such a demon back then. Once I met, my internal energy disappeared completely and disappeared. At that time, I had already cultivated to a soul and kept igniting magic power to fight. But my magic power was also limited. After the magic power was exhausted, I had to fight with it with my body and almost died. Although that battle had been long, every time I recalled it, I was still scared."

"If I have not exercised my physical mastery before, then when my mana is burned out, there is only one way to die."

Pan Long did not refute this time. He felt that if he continued to refute, he would be arguing.

He was a human in his previous life, not a barbell.

In the next period of time, Pan Long had an additional training program.

He was temporarily let go of his martial arts practice. According to Ren Changsheng, his martial arts skills have almost reached a bottleneck. No matter how much he practices, he will not make any progress after practicing a thousand times and ten thousand times, but he is just a waste of time.

What he wants to do is to improve his physical fitness, to enhance his control over his body.

"The same martial arts are much better than those who do not control their own body," he said. "When you lay a solid foundation and look back at your own fist and foot skills, you will naturally understand how to practice next."

Pan Long felt that his ancestors were right and practiced with peace of mind.

The time of practice passed quickly, and before I knew it, it went from June to July, then August, September, October... In late October, Pan Long received news that a special visitor came to the Ren family.

The deputy historical officer of the Daxia Dynasty inspector, the son of the right general of the rear army, and the confidant of the prince Emperor Luonan, Cang Yuan.

The visitor came very low-key, with no follower, and he came to the door alone. If he hadn't reported his identity, perhaps Uncle Chen, who was guarding the door, would have never expected that a fourth-rank official would have come.

Cang Yuan met with the head of the Ren family and suggested that he wanted Di Luonan to visit Ren Changsheng, the "White-Browed Old Man" who wanted to visit Ren Changsheng.

Of course, this visit is not a private meeting, but a formal visit, the kind with political significance.

Old Master Ren hesitated a little, delayed for a while, and then sent a message to his ancestor Ren Changsheng.

"The Seven Killing Star Emperor Luo Nan wants to see me?" Ren Changsheng was a little surprised. "He was ordered to patrol the four sides, and should understand the people's conditions everywhere and supervise the officialdom. What should I do when I see me, a person outside the country?"

"Cangyuan said, Di Luonan wants to talk to you about the general trend of the world." Through the water mirror, the old man's voice came over.

"The world's trend? He is not even the prince. What does the world's trend have to do with him?" Ren Changsheng was even more surprised. "What's more, Di Renchen is only about 60 years old this year, and it's still early to pass the throne. Where is the turn of the prince, who is the prince, to talk about the world's trend?"

"Cang Yuan didn't say it, he just said, you won't regret it."

"...I can meet Di Luonan privately first, and it will not be too late to make a decision after meeting and discussing."

"Cangyuan said that if you want to meet in private first, he can come to see you on behalf of Di Luonan. He said that he actually knows everything he should say. If he can't answer the questions, Di Luonan will not answer them either."

"Then let him come to see me." Ren Changsheng had no airs of a big shot at all. "Cangyuan is also a rising star in Zhongzhou and is worth seeing."

The next morning, just after breakfast, Pan Long saw two Yunsheng beasts going up the mountain, and an old man from the Ren family came with a handsome young man.

The young man had a sharp eyebrow and a majestic appearance. He was a rare handsome man. But his temperament was a little strange. Pan Long always felt something was wrong when he saw his eyebrows, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Maybe... it's because he's too clean?

Pan Long did not think about it carefully, kept quiet and listened to the conversation between the two parties.

But Cang Yuan obviously had no intention of letting others listen. After a few greetings, he expressed that he wanted to talk to Ren Changsheng alone.

Of course, Ren Changsheng would not refuse. The two talked in the study for a long time, and finally Cangyuan said goodbye with a smile, while Ren Changsheng seemed worried.

"Old ancestor, what did he say?" Pan Long asked while practicing.

Ren Changsheng sighed and said, "Di Luonan felt that the Great Xia Dynasty seemed stable, but in fact there were many problems. He wanted to rectify the court, change the laws, and reform many old systems and practices."

"Ah? He wants to change the law?"

"Reform? This word is well used! That's right, he just wants to reform."
