"Thank you, Master, for raising me up. If Master had not taken me into your sect, this disciple would likely have ended up wandering the rivers and lakes!" Shui Tiantian said solemnly, with great respect.
"Mm. Although your starting point is quite high, there is one drawback... Your meridians already contain martial inner force, and you have practiced the Big Dipper Divine Fist incorrectly as well. Correcting it bit by bit now will be very difficult..."
"This disciple understands. I will surely use great perseverance to overcome these difficulties. If Master... can abolish this disciple's martial cultivation level so that I may cultivate anew, this disciple is willing!" Shui Tiantian said through gritted teeth.
Zhang Xiaohua was moved when he heard this and clapped his hands. "With such great perseverance, your cultivation will surely succeed. But this method is not reliable. The meridians used in martial cultivation and immortal cultivation are the same, and many cultivation methods even use the same Dantian. If I abolished your inner force, would you not lose even the ability to cultivate immortality?"
Shui Tiantian flushed scarlet and lowered his head. "This disciple is ignorant. I shall obey Master's instructions!"
"Hehe, it matters not. With such great perseverance, what in this world cannot be accomplished? Our Big Dipper Sect's Carefree Heart Sutra cultivates the middle dantian, which differs from the lower dantian you use in martial cultivation. The two... may not conflict at all. Go ahead and cultivate as you please!"
Joy appeared on Shui Tiantian's face. He bowed deeply. "Thank you, Master!"
"Senior Sect Leader Brother, can this disciple... do the same?" Zhang Ping'er asked impatiently.
"Of course." Zhang Xiaohua smiled. "However, if you start cultivating anew, you will not have the... advantage of entering the Dao through martial arts!"
"Mm, this disciple understands!"
