Chapter 109: The Middle Stage of Foundation Building
There is no such thing as a master in the main plane, so Su Ze and Laurie actually don't have much to do with each other, even if Alison is Laurie's disciple and Su Ze is Alison's disciple, at most they have the same magic inheritance system, not to mention that Su Ze is mainly a cultivator, and he has in-depth research on magic.
However, even if he doesn't learn other magic spells, he must be proficient in things like talisman charms, after all, although sword cultivation has sharp attacks, his defensive ability is not good.
When leaving the mage tower where Laurie was recuperating, Mei handed Su Ze a jade bone with sharp horns, and said that this was a token to summon her, so that he could use it in times of danger, and Su Ze knew that this was a treasure more valuable than a talisman, after all, what talisman could compare to a level 21 undead monarch to show up to help. At this time, he felt that this teacher was worth the money!
"By the way, I should marry the Dan within ten years, so I need you to help me refine the natal magic weapon in five years at the latest!" Mei thought for a while and explained to Su Ze.
Su Ze nodded when he heard this: "I will do my best, teacher!"
......
After that, he went straight to the finance office again, and exchanged for the materials of the simplified version of the magic array of the "Mage Tower Foundation", and sure enough, as Cole expected, the materials for the depiction of the formation alone cost 578 third-level magic stones, which made Su Ze quite heartbroken!
The water veins are invisible and spread all over the Lai River Basin, so Su Ze only needs to choose a place in the river with a strong aura to arrange the cave, and then dive into the water veins on the spot. And the reason for arranging the Great Array of Protectors is just for the sake of insurance, after all, the Lai River is not so calm, since Su Ze wants to cultivate in the water vein for a long time, then it is naturally necessary to ensure a safe cultivation environment.
In the end, the site he chose was Repulse Bay, which was sparsely populated outside the city and sheltered by a river bay and woodland. The only concern is that the repulse bay is a shoal, and the water veins exist in the depths of the Lai River, so this can only be satisfied by going to the center of the river. However, as a monk, digging the shallow bay deep was basically a piece of cake, so Su Ze only spent two nights digging it to the depth of the middle of the river, a full thirty meters deep, and then let it sit for a week to allow the water veins to spread.
As for the excavated silt at the bottom of the river, it is all piled up around the solitary trees, maintaining the original appearance of the surrounding environment. At this time, the Lonely Wood Spiritual Wisdom gradually opened, and Su Ze needed to replace the four spirit stones in its four directions every three months so that it had enough spiritual energy to absorb, indicating that it had gradually embarked on the path of cultivation.
It is more troublesome to depict the formation pattern underwater, because there is river water everywhere, and the blood of the demonic beast will dissolve in the water. Therefore, Su Ze first took out the silk sac of the spirit eater spider that had been idle for a long time, extracted the spider silk stored in it, and then soaked it in the blood of the exchanged demon beast and let it stand.
Ignoring the spider silk and demonic beast blood, Su Ze fixed the other materials for arranging the magic array at the bottom of the river one by one, and waited until the spider silk absorbed and completely absorbed the small box of demonic beast blood, and after the yin dried, Su Ze wrote with silk and began to draw the formation pattern.
This process is very difficult, because the water flow under the river surface is turbulent, every time Su Ze carves a section of the formation pattern, he needs to carefully cover it with silt, wait for the precipitation, and then he can continue to the next section! This step is even a monk needs to be careful, plus there are more than five hundred third-level mid-level magic array patterns, and the broken pen cannot exceed one percent, and only a magician with strong spiritual power can control it perfectly!
It wasn't until the early morning of the second day that Su Ze completed the portrayal of the entire formation.
Looking at the formation pattern covered by a thin layer of silt, covering an area of only tens of meters, he didn't even dare to breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly placed the magic stone according to the steps, and recited the spell to activate the formation!
Airplanes!
After an invisible fluctuation, the yellow light lit up, illuminating the entire bottom of the river, but fortunately, there was no one here, and it was early in the morning, so there was not much movement!
The spiritual power released by the philosopher's stone attracted the gathering of magical energy at the bottom of the river, and through the spiritual power, Su Ze could sense that even the aura of the water vein was also attracted. The black silt at the bottom of the river gradually hardened and flattened under the pale yellow light, and this process lasted for about ten minutes, and then an invisible gravity suddenly appeared, and the fish and shrimp in the water were suddenly slapped into the ground and could not move.
Su Ze also tilted his body for a moment, but as the mana in his body surged, he was soon unaffected!
"Triple gravity, it doesn't seem to be enough, but it's barely enough!"
Feeling the ubiquitous pulling force around him, Su Ze easily walked around the bottom of the water, three times the gravity couldn't even deal with the big fighter, it was useless, Su Ze took a fancy to the defensive power of this magic array!
"Up!"
Fingers flew, and after a set of fingers was played, the protective shield of the magic array covered the water area like an upside-down bowl, and then disappeared. However, the impurities in the river could never fall into the place where the magic array was shrouded, and Su Ze knew that the magic array was always in operation.
Su Ze had the heart to try the defensive power of this magic array, but this place was very close to the dock, and he could quickly know if there was any movement between the two places, so he had to give up trying. I have to believe that these thousand pieces of third-level magic stones will not be spent in vain.
"Sure enough, there is no way to expel the aura in the river!"
He sat down, and the moment he sensed the water vein, the sword light flew by, and then the whole person disappeared in place.
......
The veins of water are the spirit of a river, so they are uncertain, yet omnipresent. It is the embodiment of the pure water system aura, and it adheres to the will of a long river condensed for thousands of years.
Ancient vicissitudes, but vibrant!
Magicians are keen to study the rules of the plane, and in addition to constantly breaking through the upper limit of their mental power, they spend most of their time immersed in how to grab the power of the rules for their own use, so they don't pay too much attention to this kind of heaven and earth spirit, and mostly regard it as an alternative magical creature and let it be.
As long as it doesn't harm human beings or can't be used, most of them will ignore it.
And the cultivation world has always been keen on treasure hunting, whether it is the secret book of the exercises or the spirit stone vein, it is unscrupulous to develop, especially this kind of natural spirit is regarded as a superior immortal, and there is no rumor that it has never been let go.
Without him, it is only because it can improve cultivation.
Although the water veins were invisible, and a low-level cultivator like Su Ze couldn't find the best way to use it, just the dense water aura that was constantly gathering in the special space where it existed was quite a whole small spiritual vein, and Su Ze's cultivation speed was certainly a thousand miles a day when he was in it.
Therefore, when he felt something in his heart, after another year of retreat, his cultivation finally broke through and reached the middle stage of foundation building!
Call!
Gently exhaling the turbid qi in his chest, Su Ze reined in his luck method; at this moment, his dantian mana was full of power, blue and deep, and after continuously taking the bloody fruit and the potion banyan tree sap, the vitality contained in his body was immeasurable, making the blood and qi surge, and the essence of his body directly chased after the horizontal martial artist who specialized in cultivating the body.
"This retreat has been a small reward. I don't know what happened to Laurie's injury, but with the unfathomable methods of those great magicians, I guess I won't be helpless. As for Eli, the 'Extreme Pulsation' should also be lifted, and I don't know how far it will be recovered. "Su Ze had already handed over the remaining required Dou Jing to Eli before the retreat, although he was not supervised at all times, Eli often came to Repulse Bay late at night to practice swords, and Su Ze was not worried about his entry.
Fighters are different from magicians, most of them start cultivating under the age of ten, and their costs are not affordable for ordinary people, so if Su Ze and others did not detect their magical talents, then they will have no chance with the transcendent world for the rest of their lives, maybe only Su Ze can reach the fighter class with family martial arts, but without the support of the family, he is destined to go very hard.
Eli, as the prince of the Black Shark Gang, was sent to Norriji's first-class Douqi Academy to cultivate early, if it wasn't for an accident halfway, he must have an unlimited future by now.
However, now that he has worshipped Su Ze, who has a background in cultivation, as his teacher, if he can get the inheritance of the Su family's exercises, he will also have a great future in the future. It's just that the family exercises have never been passed on, and the case of May Hayden is a special case, so it is unlikely that Eli will be able to practice the "Haichuan Guiliu Rectification".
Night falls, and the moonlight is cool.
The bottom of the deep river in Repulse Bay is spotless, and Eli is holding a sword on the riverbank, stirring up a splash of water, and he has long lost his usual calmness and dedication, not so much cultivation as venting.
"Drink!"
A mixture of yellow and blue fighting qi shot out from the tip of the sword......
After this move, Eli stood still, standing in the middle of the waves, letting the exploding river water drench him, until the waves calmed down and the water vapor gradually sank. I saw Eli's happy and sad face, his face was complicated, and his handsome face was wet, and he couldn't tell whether it was water or tears.
"Seven-Star Great Dou Master, I just thought that your kendo talent was good, but I didn't expect that your cultivation talent was also excellent, just lifting the curse has already reached a higher level in just one month. ”
Eli was immersed in his own world, and he didn't know how time flew by, when he suddenly heard a slightly surprised hoarse voice coming from underwater.
Eli looked up suddenly, and saw the penitent man wearing a white bone mask on the river, and he immediately shouted with gratitude: "Teacher!", this teacher's affection was sincere, and Su Ze was moved when he heard it, and at the same time he felt guilty.
Eli didn't think too much about it, he knew that he could go to the next level within a month of lifting the curse, in addition to penance, the precious resources that the teacher in front of him invested in him were the decisive factor, so Eli saw the teacher who had disappeared for a year after resuming his cultivation, his heart was indescribably moved, and he looked at Su Ze with burning eyes, and his heart was stirred.
Fortunately, Su Ze's incarnated penitent man had a mask to cover it, so he could barely parry Eli's gaze.
He hummed lightly, casually glanced around at the waves rolling on the riverbank, and said: "There is no need to indulge too much in the fait accompli of the past; the future is unpredictable and unpredictable, so there is no way to know; only by grasping the present can we calmly control the past and the future and live up to this life." ”
When Eli heard this, he bowed down to Su Ze to pay respect: "I will firmly remember the teacher's teachings, work hard to cultivate the fighting spirit, and not be rude to others, and lose the teacher's face." ”
"Cultivation is your own business, what does it have to do with others! Have you ever heard of a fighter or magician who cultivates for others?" Su Ze was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, but he just thought of Eli's rebirth from the fire, and his mood was uneasy, so he couldn't bear to reprimand, just reprimanded lightly, and then turned to say, "I have been in underwater retreat for the past year, and I also see the situation where you often come here to practice swords, including "Flowing Wind Roundabout", you basically master the fighting skills, but among them' Drifting's sword intent is not yet complete, if you have the opportunity, you can collect some swordsmanship of the same type and try to perfect it, maybe you can break through the third-level intermediate level. ”
Eli first nodded subconsciously to be taught, and then understood Su Ze's words, only then did he realize that even if he was ravaged by a complete set of third-level fighting skills, the Repulse Bay, which should have been turbid, was still extremely clear and sparkling in the moonlight.
"Nearly a year of underwater retreat!" caused an incredible thought to pop through his mind.
I immediately drew a heavy brush on the mystery of my own teacher again.
