Chapter Twenty-Nine: Condensing the Medium (Part II)
Hey!
Just as Mu Ziyan scanned the branch in his hand up and down suspiciously, a piece of resin on the epidermis of the branch caught his attention. Normally, the resin has detached from the branch and is no longer part of the branch. Therefore, Mu Ziyan didn't notice it when he was looking for the body of the plant and wood spirit, but now that all possibilities are ruled out, the only place where the plant spirit can hide is it.
With the discovery, Mu Ziyan began to search again, and this time the focus was on those few pieces of resin.
As expected, when Mu Ziyan found the third resin, he found an abnormality, and there was a faint spiritual power fluctuation on it, although it was very weak, it was still discovered by Mu Ziyan.
Slowly, Mu Ziyan mobilized his spiritual power to move here to wrap the resin, and then his arm shook, and in addition to the wrapped resin, the rest of the branches instantly turned into powder and fell to the ground. When the branch was shattered, the wrapped resin finally reacted, and I saw a ball of pure spiritual power that was constantly tumbling out of the resin, and it began to shake in panic.
At this time, the body of the grass and wood spirit monster was already in an extremely dangerous state, as long as it was stimulated a little, it would explode itself, and the power of this explosion was equivalent to the full force of a one-star top spirit master. Although Mu Ziyan prepared for its self-explosion in advance, the final result would also be that Mu Ziyan would be seriously injured, and he would have to lie in bed for at least a week.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mu Ziyan adjusted his emotions, the next step will be very troublesome and dangerous. Not only does he have to carefully erase the spiritual intelligence of the grass and wood spirits, but also build runes that the spirit medium communicates with, no matter which one requires a high concentration of spiritual power, and there can be no sloppiness.
After the adjustment, Mu Ziyan sensed the composition of the grass and tree spirits, and slowly controlled his spiritual power to imitate spiritual power fluctuations similar to it.
Although this spiritual power is the spiritual intelligence of the grass and wood spirits, the real control center is only a hair-like thing. It's like a human being, it's the brain that controls the body, and as long as the brain is paralyzed, the person is at your mercy. Erasing the Psychic is the same principle, destroying this control center, and this step is complete.
The control center of the Grass Spirit is hidden in its body, and it is extremely difficult to detect. The first thing to do to find and destroy its control center is to get close to it, and only at close range can you find where it is hiding, and then destroy its center in an instant with a single blow before it realizes the danger, otherwise, if you take a step too slowly, the grass spirit will explode on its own.
The hardest part of this step is getting close to its body. Since the Grass Spirit is extremely unstable at this point, it will not hesitate to explode if something else approaches it.
And the best way to get close to it is to imitate its kind, because it does not exclude only its kind, and its intelligence is not high, so as long as the imitation is seven points similar, it can fool it, and then approach it.
This step is the purity of spiritual power. Because the grass and wood spirits are the purest wood attribute spiritual power in nature, if you want to imitate them, the most important thing is the purity of the spiritual power, if the purity is not high enough, then even if you imitate the appearance of the likeness will be recognized by it.
This is like two Buddha statues that are the same in height and appearance, one of them is made of stone, and the other is made of jade, as long as the eyes are not blind, a person can tell that the material of the Buddha statue is jade. If you want to make it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, you can only use materials similar to jade in appearance, so that you can achieve the point of confusion.
And the purity of spiritual power is the quality of the material. The higher the purity, the less likely it is to be spotted, which means that the closer you can get to it, the better the chance of destroying its intelligence.
After the attempts of the ancestors, those who can pass the test in confusion must at least reach a high level of spiritual power purity.
Obviously, the success rate of wood attribute spirit masters whose spiritual power is at the rare level is much greater than that of the high-level ones at this step, which is also the biggest reliance for Mu Ziyan to try to advance to the tree refiner when his strength is only one-star advanced.
With the experience he had accumulated over the years of exposure to a large number of drugs, Mu Ziyan was very familiar with the aura of the grass and tree spirits. After all, most of the plant spirits evolved from medicinal herbs, and even if they themselves have undergone qualitative changes, compared with before, there are still traces of breath.
Soon, Mu Ziyan controlled his own spiritual power and produced a ball of spiritual power with a similar breath to the grass and tree spirits in front of him.
And then slowly approach, and then closer!
As Mu Ziyan thought, he easily deceived the grass and tree spirits. At this time, the spiritual power he controlled was about to come into contact with the grass and tree spirits, this was already the best observation and attack distance, as long as its spiritual intelligence could be discovered, then everything would fall into place.
Finally, when Mu Ziyan circled it to the third circle, he found an anomaly in the lower left corner of this spiritual power.
In that position, a filament that looked exactly like the one around it swam slowly, and it was hard to spot unless you looked closely.
Swish!
The spiritual power controlled by Mu Ziyan instantly turned into a spiritual power needle, and then rushed towards the spiritual power group of the grass and wood spirits with lightning speed.
Snort!
The slowly swimming filaments were hit by Mu Ziyan before they could react to what was happening, and the latter dissipated in two sections. At the moment of its destruction, the main body of the plant spirit began to explode continuously, like a chemical agent that was reacting violently.
The spiritual power condensed by the grass and wood spirit is controlled by its spiritual intelligence, and once the spiritual intelligence is destroyed, although it will not explode, it will dissipate into the heavens and the earth after five minutes. And Mu Ziyan had to make it his medium within these five minutes, otherwise, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
At the moment, Mu Ziyan no longer hesitated. As soon as he bit the tip of his tongue, a cloud of blood spurted out of the air. Then, with essence blood as the mainstay, supplemented by spiritual power, a kind of control rune was outlined in the air.
To make this kind of control rune, it takes a lot of spiritual power to consume, which is also the reason why the condensed spirit medium needs to be cultivated to at least one star high-level.
When Mu Ziyan was making runes, the first half of the process was quite easy, but after more than half of it, he could obviously feel his struggle, especially in the last few strokes, every time he drew a stroke, his face turned a little pale, and the whole person looked like he might fall down at any time.
But he knew he couldn't back down, and once he did, he would lose all his efforts.
One, two, three......
Coax!
When Mu Ziyan gritted his teeth and finished drawing the last stroke, there was a burst of aura wandering in the air, and a blood-red rune appeared in front of him.
The moment the rune appeared, a smile appeared on Mu Ziyan's face. He knew that today's condensation of the spirit medium was basically successful, and his previous efforts were finally not in vain.
But in that moment, he lifted his spirit again, and although the control rune had been made, there was not much time left.
It had been nearly four minutes since he started making runes, and he was already close to the time when the plant spirits would dissipate, so he had to hurry.
He controlled the runes and slowly melted into the grass spirits. This step is to replace the destroyed spirit of the Grass Spirit with a control rune, and then stabilize it, so that the person who created the rune can control it and turn it into a medium.
This step is much simpler than the previous steps. As long as it doesn't take more than four minutes to craft a rune, the remaining one minute will almost certainly not fail.
Syllable!
The world is unpredictable, and what is unexpected is that an accident actually happened. When Mu Ziyan's control rune entered the Grass and Wood Spirit, within two seconds, the Grass and Wood Spirit and the rune began to expand, and soon became several times as big as before, and then burst in an instant like a balloon under high pressure. Fortunately, there is no power, otherwise with Mu Ziyan's current prostration situation, he would be seriously injured if he didn't die.
"What's going on with this Nima! Didn't you say that good ones don't fail? How did it fail? Mu Ziyan scolded.
The most difficult steps have been taken, but the steps that basically will not fail have failed, which is simply abusing people invisibly.
Mu Ziyan was thinking, what was wrong with the place before, he didn't miss all the steps, and he shouldn't fail.
Although there have been people who have failed this step before, their situation is somewhat unique.
Because those people want to cut corners. Except for the step of making the control rune, they let someone else do all the other steps. That is to say, the erosion of spiritual power, the search for the body of the grass and tree spirits, the imitation of the same kind, and the destruction of the spiritual intelligence, are all not done by himself.
And it doesn't matter if the first few steps didn't seem to be done by yourself, as long as you can finally fuse the control runes you made with them, the effect will be the same.
Actually, that's a big mistake, the previous steps are just a way for you to hone your fit with the grass spirits, and it can also be said to be a test, if you don't do it yourself, the end result is mutual destruction.
And Mu Ziyan did all the hard work and completed it step by step, which made people depressed.
After a while, he finally made sure that he had done nothing wrong, and finally blamed the failure on an accident.
Airplanes!
However, just as he was about to eat something, and when he regained his spiritual strength and physical strength to make a second attempt, an accident happened.
I saw that in the corner of Mu Ziyan's dantian, the seven-star bead that had been suppressing the innate spiritual power shot out a white light. This white light was projected directly into the air through his dantian, forming a phantom.
