Although the illusionist's mental power is one of the best among all Qimen professions, they are not known for their mental strength, and what they are really best at is the subtle operation of spiritual power.

If the psychic attack of other Qimen classes is compared to an extremely sharp sword, then the psychic attack of the illusionist is like a silent tidal wave, pervasive and long-lasting, and will eventually drown the opponent alive in the boundless sea of consciousness.

Just like the dispute between the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect of the Chinese Mountain School in the martial arts novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu", illusionists have also been divided into two branches in history: "Broken Illusion" and "Psychedelic".

Breaking the illusion is to break the trick with strength, and it has the persistent spirit of "let you make a thousand moves, I will only go with one move".

The illusionists of this branch often only practice one or a few specific illusions, relying on their huge spiritual power to carry out saturation attacks on the opponent's mental barrier in a short period of time, forcibly making the opponent enter the illusion, and coupled with the physical skills that are not inferior to ordinary martial artists, it is completely a kind of demon warrior-like existence.

The psychedelic branch pays attention to replacing reality with fiction and breaking reality with fiction, mixing illusion attacks with physical attacks, making it difficult for opponents to distinguish, and gradually increasing the proportion of illusion attacks, and finally dragging opponents who can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion directly into the dream realm for abuse.

Compared with Illusion Breaking, the illusionist of the psychedelic team is actually not good at fighting, although the unique "Dream Technique" can be called an indiscriminate killing skill, but the activation conditions are too harsh, and it is easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity to start the game and kill it in seconds.

In terms of inheritance, Li Mengnan's illusionist inheritance belongs to the branch of psychedelia.

Although in this modern society with a rapidly expanding population, it is difficult to be a real hermit like in ancient times, but just like the remote village where Li Mengnan lived back then, there were only 100 people in the whole village, and even in the town where he studied later, there were only a few thousand, compared to the city with a population of one million at every turn, it was almost as barren as a no-man's land.

With such a small population base, let alone a Qimen cultivator, even if you want to meet a passing martial artist, the odds are like winning the lottery.

Therefore, before Li Mengnan came to Sanshan City, the provocations and dangers he encountered basically came from ordinary people, and with his physical skills and spiritual strength, there was no one who could really be called an "opponent" among them.

But since coming to Sanshan City, Qimen and warriors who have not seen one for more than ten years have sprung up one after another, and the seemingly calm city is full of dangers that may arise at any time.

Moreover, the battle with Wu Mingyang made Li Mengnan deeply aware of his shortcomings in sudden encounters.

This time, it was a fluke that temporarily forced back that Wu Mingyang, but if he didn't have any other hole cards, the next time Wu Mingyang appeared again, I am afraid it would not be so easy to dismiss.

If you want to improve your strength without a breakthrough increase in the strength of your mental power, the best way is to practice the illusion of the "Breaking Illusion" branch.

Of course, as the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains, and although illusion and psychedelia both belong to the same vein as illusionists, it is not so easy to change or cultivate both.

Breaking illusion focuses on the strength of mental power, relying on the illusionist's huge spiritual power to bombard the opponent indiscriminately, no matter what moves you show, I just need to pick up the three-plate axe, and ask if you are afraid;

Psychedelic focuses on the micro-operation of mental power, even if it is as small as a toothpick, it is necessary to make the illusion extremely real, and finally make the opponent's mental barrier collapse by itself with an incomparably real illusion, and the requirements for mental strength are not high.

Therefore, once the direction of cultivation of Broken Illusion and Psychedelic is chosen, and then you want to change it, it is almost the same as starting from scratch.

However, in comparison, it is easier to break the illusion and repair the illusion than to break the illusion and repair the illusion, in fact, this is like a technical worker doing physical work, which is definitely easier and faster to get started than physical work.

And the most important thing is that the reason why Li Mengnan made such a decision that was almost child's play for illusionists was because he had an advantage that other illusionists could not match at this moment.

Thunder quenching wood crystal and misty sea sand.

In fact, Li Mengnan's previous method of using Lei Quenching Mujing's illusion force field to enhance his illusion effect was the lowest-level application of this top-level illusion material, just like smashing a walnut to block bullets with Nokia, which was completely tyrannical.

The real use of this top-level illusion material is actually to make the "Illusion Breaking Divine Weapon".

The so-called "Illusion Breaking Divine Weapon" sounds like some kind of weapon, but in fact it is more like something like the jade talisman used in the first vein of the talisman, but it is more advanced than the jade talisman, and there is no limit to the number of times it can be used.

This kind of thing is extremely demanding for the materials used to make zuò, and it must be a pure natural material that can produce an illusion force field by itself, and because of this, the number of surviving illusion divine weapons is very small, and it is almost unknown to Qimen cultivators other than illusionists.

Compared to the scarcity of illusion materials, the production of illusion breaking magic weapons is not complicated, the principle of this thing is actually like a flashlight, as long as the illusion material as a battery is powerful, the circuit and light bulb are not high-tech.

It's just that the production of the Illusion Breaking Divine Soldier still needs some common materials and basic tools, and it is definitely impossible to get it now, and she can only wait for Wu Ansu to entrust her to run alone tomorrow morning when she comes to deliver breakfast.

After completing the daily compulsory meditation, Li Mengnan's spirit began to float from the subconscious to the surface consciousness, and in the process, he accidentally saw the boxy "phantom prison", and after a little thought, he dived his spirit into it.

There is still a gorgeous sea of flowers in the independent space of the phantom prison, the sun is warm on the body, and it does not feel scorching, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers in the breeze, which can't help but make Li Mengnan, who is tired of seeing the monotonous snow scene in the real world, feel extremely comfortable.

In the cherry blossom-shrouded shrine not far away, Suzuhiko Hime, a white-clothed geisha mask, was still dancing tirelessly and gracefully, and Li Mengnan stood in place and watched for a while, and his figure instantly flashed next to the iron cage where the mysterious demon spirit was imprisoned.

What Li Mengnan didn't expect was that the long-haired girl in the cage was actually weaving a wreath at the moment, and when he arrived, the long-haired girl had just inserted the last wild flower on the wreath, and then got up and held the wreath high, seemingly satisfied with her craft.

"If it weren't for being locked up here, I really wouldn't have seen that you were a demon at all."

No matter how intelligent the demon spirit is, it is not a human after all, and Li Mengnan has never seen a demon spirit that can make such a humane move as the long-haired girl in front of him.

After all, he is the master of the space of the "Phantom Prison", in fact, since Li Mengnan entered this space, the long-haired girl has already noticed it.

"Maybe it's been too long to pretend to be human...... It's been so long that even I think I'm a human being. The long-haired girl got up and walked up to Li Mengnan and looked at him across the railing.

"For a long time? How many years have you lived? Li Mengnan didn't expect that an unintentional word would actually harvest such an important piece of information.

The long-haired girl curled the corners of her mouth noncommittally, did not answer Li Mengnan's question, just put the wreath in her hand on her head, turned around in the cage like a little girl who loves to show off, and asked Li Mengnan, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Li Mengnan saw that the other party obviously didn't want to say it, and he was not reluctant, so he nodded and said, "The garland is very beautiful, and it is very flattering to you...... It's just that the clothes don't look like they match. ”

Hearing this, the long-haired girl looked down at the white robe on her body that had no style to speak of, and then looked up at Li Mengnan, for a long time, and sighed lightly: "I'm the only one here, who can I show no matter how beautiful I dress......

"Didn't you demon spirits always only care about strength, when did you start to care about beauty and ugliness like humans?" In Li Mengnan's opinion, the mysterious big demon spirit in front of him was obviously using means to tempt him.

"Maybe it's because I'm different from other demons, right?"

The girl gently brushed the long black hair that was draped diagonally over one shoulder with her slender and slender fingers, and her tone was a little resentful, but more self-deprecating.

Li Mengnan smiled casually and said nothing more.

The long-haired girl in front of him seems to have a kind of demagogic magic, and when the two chat, he will always temporarily forget the fact that the other party is not a human but a demon, and he is afraid that he will talk to him for too long, and he can't help but open the cage and release this big demon spirit of unknown origin.

Just as Li Mengnan was about to leave the phantom prison space, the long-haired girl suddenly asked, "Are you injured?" ”

Li Mengnan subconsciously stopped, turned around and asked curiously: "How do you know?" ”

The long-haired girl shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently: "Although this space is an independent space isolated from the outside world, after all, it is maintained by your spiritual power, and there was a slight turmoil in this space not long ago, obviously there is a problem with the supply of spiritual power, so I guess you may be injured." ”

After all, Li Mengnan couldn't lock himself up in the phantom prison, and he really didn't know that the injury would cause the structural shock of the phantom prison, so he couldn't help but secretly remind himself in his heart that he would try not to overdraw his mental power too much in the future - it didn't matter if the phantom prison collapsed, if the big demon spirit ran out because of this, it would be a big trouble.

"I had a conflict with a warrior and my sternum was broken by him, but it wasn't a big deal." Li Mengnan didn't know why he would talk to a demon spirit about these things.

"What realm of martial artists?" The long-haired teenage girl seemed curious.

"Judging from the attack power of his punch, it should be Ming Jin Da Perfection."

"Is there only Mingjin Great Perfection?" The long-haired girl was actually a little surprised, and her red lips were slightly open, and her expression was very cute as a little girl.

Li Mengnan couldn't understand why the long-haired girl had such an expression, and shrugged her shoulders and said, "I only have the early stage of the Spirit Rhino Realm, and I am still an illusionist who is not good at close combat, and it is normal to be injured by a martial artist of the Ming Jin Great Perfection, right?" ”

"The early stage of the Spirit Rhino Realm?" The long-haired girl chanted these words repeatedly, and said with a complicated expression: "It turns out that your realm has fallen to this point......

"What?" Li Mengnan once again learned an unexpected message from the mouth of the long-haired girl, "You mean, the realm of me in the past is actually much higher than now?" ”

How is this possible? Li Mengnan clearly remembered that his illusion realm was cultivated step by step, if he had reached a higher realm, it was impossible for him to be so laborious when breaking through the Spirit Rhino Realm?

Damn it! How much is hidden in your lost memories?

"Can you tell me what I used to be like?" Although Li Mengnan didn't think that the long-haired girl would sue him, he couldn't help but hold on to a glimmer of hope.

Sure enough, after Li Mengnan asked this question, the long-haired girl was silent for a long time, turned her head slightly, covered her beautiful face with her long black hair, and said in an indifferent tone: "Some things, forget it, forget it, in fact, for you now, knowing nothing is the best ......"

"What kind of memory is that?" Li Mengnan asked unwillingly.

This time, the long-haired girl was silent for a longer time, if it weren't for the special time passage in the phantom prison space, Li Mengnan even felt that the two of them had stood relatively quietly for a few hours.

"It's cruel to you, but it's ...... for me Very happy. ”

Li Mengnan pondered for a moment and shook his head puzzledly: "Why do I feel that what you mean by this is that your happiness was based on my pain?" ”

"There's clearly something wrong with the way you understand it." The long-haired girl smiled, suddenly looked up at the blue sky above her and said, "I feel the fluctuation frequency of Lei Quen's wood crystal and misty sea sand, it seems that you have been lucky lately." ”

"Can you feel the outside world?" Li Mengnan was surprised.

"Of course I can't...... It's just that Lei Quenching Wood Crystal and Misty Sea Sand are both top-level illusion materials, and you carry them closely, and their fluctuation frequency will penetrate a little bit. ”

"I see." Li Mengnan said with relief.

He thought it was unlikely, if this long-haired girl could penetrate the isolation of the phantom prison and feel the information of the outside world, then her perception would be too rebellious, even the legendary S-class demon spirit couldn't do this......

"If I'm not mistaken, you're going to use Thunder Quenching Wood Crystal and Misty Sea Sand to make zuò Illusion Breaking Divine Weapons, right?"

The intelligence of the long-haired girl is not inferior to that of any human being, and combined with the information about Li Mengnan's injury, she immediately guessed Li Mengnan's next plan.

"Yes." Li Mengnan nodded, "But it's not two of them, it's one, the fluctuation frequency of illusion materials with different attributes is too different, and it is difficult to reconcile them without a special array disk, so that they don't affect each other." ”

The long-haired girl was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Reconcile? Why reconcile them? Have you forgotten that I used to ......"

Suddenly, the long-haired girl felt speechless, and immediately stopped changing her words and said: "Illusion materials with different attributes actually don't need to be reconciled, forcing them to change the fluctuation frequency to adapt to each other, although they can coexist, but it will also weaken their illusion force field strength by two or three layers, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Although Li Mengnan was very curious about what the long-haired girl said before, he also knew that it would be impossible to ask it, so he simply pretended not to hear it, and only asked the question behind: "If they are not reconciled, then how can they coexist?" ”

The long-haired girl beckoned to Li Mengnan, motioning for him to come closer, and then squatted on the ground, and her fingertips violently popped out five crystal-like claws, which were used as a pen to draw directly on the ground.

"Your body is some kind of spirit body that a demon beast has given up its physical transformation?"

Although only a small part of the form was visible, the shape of the claws still showed traces of some kind of carnivorous beast.

Li Mengnan couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, fortunately he didn't have a hot head to release this seemingly delicate long-haired girl, the demon spirit that evolved from a carnivorous beast is completely synonymous with ferocity, cruelty, and bloodthirsty, and almost without exception.

"Don't you think it's a shame for you to say such things at the moment?"

The long-haired girl indifferently raised her eyes and swept over Li Mengnan's face, although she was close enough, she didn't make any aggressive moves, and calmly finished drawing the figure on the ground with a very ordinary posture.

"What is this?"

Li Mengnan can vouch with his head, he has never seen this figure on the ground, it looks like a certain formation, but the formation diagram is more neat than the ordinary formation, and even has a kind of regular beauty unique to geometric figures.

"This is called the Five Elements Birth Array, which is a special formation that I created in the past in order to control the Illusion Breaking Divine Weapon, because it combines the energy circuit method of the Western magic array, so it looks very different from the common formation of Huaxia Qimen."

When the long-haired girl answered Li Mengnan's question, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she could see that this formation should be her former proud work.

"This formation allows illusion materials of different attributes to coexist at the same time without affecting each other?"

Li Mengnan was a little skeptical, after all, formations with similar functions, even among the Qimen cultivators who specialized in refining formations, belonged to a secret that only a few people could master, and it was a guy who used it for eating, how could it be lightly revealed.

"In your eyes, that's all I have to do?"

The long-haired girl suddenly showed a kind of arrogance that she had never felt before, but the abnormal expression only flashed on her face, as if it was just an illusion.

"This formation can not only make the illusion materials of different attributes coexist in a stable manner, but also increase the strength of the illusion-breaking divine weapons that are made according to the principle of the five elements.

There are five array eyes on the formation map, corresponding to the materials of the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, each time an adjacent attribute material is added, the Illusory Divine Weapon engraved in it can increase the strength by two percent, if all five materials are together, the power of the Illusory Divine Weapon can reach double the power of ordinary Divine Soldiers.

Of course, there are also shortcomings of this formation, after all, the extra power can't come out of thin air, when you use this kind of amplified Illusion Breaking Divine Weapon, your mental power will also increase the consumption in proportion to the increase, which you should pay attention to. ”

Li Mengnan was speechless for a while - can this also be called a shortcoming? This is obviously a normal situation, right? Can the fuel consumption of the same car run 40 miles and 80 miles be the same? This formation is already very rebellious, what are you going to do with a black technology?

"You...... Why help me? Li Mengnan stared at the long-haired girl's ancient face in confusion, "You should know that I will never let you out." ”

Surprisingly, the long-haired girl was not angry or disappointed by Li Mengnan's suspicions.

"You're right, many wise spirits deceive people, especially me, I used to be one of the most deceitful of them all." The long-haired girl sighed lightly, staring down at her unfolded claws, and said in a quiet tone, "But I don't want to lie to you—I don't want you to die, to be precise, I don't want you to die at the hands of anyone other than me." ”
