Chapter 49: The Barrier Rift
I don't know how long it has been, and the aura in the cave is no longer full.
Qi Zhiming and the princess's cultivation once again encountered a bottleneck and stopped.
After many days of cultivation, I just felt that the soybeans in the dantian were a little bigger than before, and they were already the size of peanuts.
The spiritual power within the dantian was still full.
After the pieces that I hope to give are put together, there is a set of exercises called "Xuan Gong Duel".
This exercise has also been practiced once, but it only records the method of practicing qi and the technique of using internal force to fight the enemy. There is no record of how to use weapons, and there is a faint disappointment in my heart.
After all, there is a saying that "no matter how good your kung fu is, you are afraid of kitchen knives".
With nothing to do, the princess was worried about the safety of her people, so she had to return to Mermaid Island.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
The people of the island were in a hurry, and the princess nervously stepped forward to ask. Only then did I know that I had caught a few intruders and were locked up in the elders' cave!
Coming to the elder's residence, Qi Zhiming hurriedly asked, "Elder, who is coming to occupy the island?" What about the people? How is the big array working? Is anyone still on the attack? โ
"Zhiming, don't worry, everything is fine on the island. Just caught a few humanoids in the trapped enemy formation. It's been interrogated, it's a creature underground. It is said that he came here for some reason, and he saw an island and climbed up. โ
"Some were trapped by the formation, and the rest flew away in flying machines. However, they can't fly out of the sea. Let's go check out these guys, right? The elder said with relief.
Qi Zhiming and the princess saw four humanoids.
It was a creature that looked like a man in six, a toad in three, and a fish in horror.
The thing had eyes and limbs like a toad, and a torso like a human being, covered in fish scales, and was a meter tall.
The princess asked in a grunt, and the toads grunted.
Qi Zhiming felt bored, so he carefully looked at these humanoids.
Long, pointed ears that cling to a slippery pointed head.
There is no neck, and the head is pressed directly on the torso.
The torso is thin and small, the limbs are strong and powerful, and the claws are webbed and sharp. The toad-like mouth is full of fine fangs, and it is full of danger.
After the princess finished asking, she beckoned Qi Zhiming to leave.
Returning to the elder's residence, the princess said, "Elder, this time it was an accident, and the last time the clan was arrested, it was also an accident. Is there more chance of that in the future? Brother Ming is not an outsider, and Brother Ming is also very human, we need his help! โ
The elder smiled bitterly awkwardly: "Zhiming is already his own person, don't blame the old man for hiding something." It is really a strict rule in the clan, and it is not allowed to divulge the secrets that are strictly guarded. โ
"The elder doesn't need to say any more. It's a secret, or don't say it, Zhiming has no intention of snooping! After Qi Zhiming finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Zhiming go slowly, the situation is urgent, let's discuss together, how to deal with it!" The elder hurriedly stopped Qi Zhiming and said eagerly.
Only then did Qi Zhiming understand the secrets of the sea area.
"Thousands of years ago, the mermaid clan helped a great god fight against the enemy. When the great god was defeated and retreated, he arranged a way for the mermaid to retreat. This sea area was sealed with supernatural powers, giving the mermaids a place to rest and recuperate. At that time, many of the mermaid's elite were seriously injured and on the verge of death. โ
"Many of the clansmen's skills have not been passed down, and they have gradually lost control of the sea. I don't know how to leak the news, and the powerful sea clan learned that the mermaid had a way to open the sea barrier, so they began to hunt down the clansmen. As a result, the number of mermaids has decreased sharply, and the tribe has continued to have difficulties, and now they are facing the disaster of extinction. โ
"Recently, the barrier has loosened, and there should be cracks, and there have been repeated intruders on the barrier. If the tranquil sea continues like this, it will crumble and disappear. At that time, the merfolk will be wiped out. โ
Qi Zhiming listened quietly, waiting for the elder to finish speaking, and then asked, "How do you repair that crack?" If you don't think Zhiming is weak, you will definitely go all out! โ
The elder said with a bitter face, "The gap in the enchantment is caused by a lack of spiritual power, and to repair the crack, you need to condense it with spiritual power, and then fill it in. Although Zhiming has skills, he is also unable to condense spiritual power! โ
"Although Brother Ming is not able to condense spiritual power at the moment, it is not too bad. Why didn't the elder give him a spirit bead and let Brother Ming give it a try? Brother Ming, you try to condense the spiritual power to form and see how many gaps there are? The princess said, tugging at Qi Zhiming's arm, hinting at something.
Qi Zhiming pretended to be ignorant: "Elder Mo Xiao Zhiming is not able to measure himself, Zhiming wants to get an axe in the class." โ
In fact, he really didn't know what kind of realm his internal force was.
The princess has more insight than him, so she should be fine, right?
The palms are facing each other, like holding a ball.
The relative strength was exhaled, and a cloud of spiritual power appeared between the palms like a white mist.
The spiritual power became more and more intense, and slowly formed a white sphere, like a top-grade spirit stone, shining with crystalline light.
The distance between the palms gradually separated, and the ball of light grew larger and larger, until it was as big as a rice bucket, and then the two palms circled and placed the ball of light on the stone table.
The elder looked at Qi Zhiming in surprise, wondering how he could have such a skill in just a few months.
The princess originally thought that Qi Zhiming would be able to condense the ball of light, but she didn't expect the ball of light to be so big, and she was conflicted for a while. He has always wanted him to hide his strength, how could it be revealed?
Qi Zhiming knew that it was because he had cultivated "Xuan Gong Decision" that he was familiar with the exercise methods in it.
But he can't condense the ball of light for a long time.
The elder came back to his senses from his surprise and said happily: "Zhiming is indeed a person with a great opportunity, with Zhiming's current strength, coupled with the power of Yuanzhu, he will definitely be able to repair the crack." What a blessing for the people! โ
The princess was angry in her heart, but she had to echo and said, "Brother Ming, when did you secretly become so powerful?" It made me worry in vain. โ
Qi Zhiming shook his head embarrassedly: "I'm getting an axe in front of the elders!" When you say that, you're not afraid of making the elders laugh. โ
"Zhiming don't want to say this, the old man is ashamed of himself. Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth! It's been a hard journey, so let's go and rest first. Tomorrow morning, Zhiming will come again, let's talk about the detailed steps. Alas! When he is old and old, his spirit is not good, and the old man is going to rest. The elder sighed.
The princess stuck out her tongue, made a grimace, and pulled Qi Zhiming to leave.
The two walked side by side on the island, the clansmen greeted with a smile, and Qi Zhiming replied politely, feeling a rare leisure.
"Brother Ming, shall I tell you about Yuanzhu? The Yuan Zhu is handed down by the ancestors of the clan, and it is reserved for strict training, which is specially used to repair or strengthen the enchantment. I've only seen it once, like a big pearl, gray, round, I don't know how it was made, and it is said that the spiritual power is huge. When you go to see the elder again, he will naturally talk to you in detail. The princess said as she walked.
Qi Zhiming listened dispensably without saying a word, he really didn't want to destroy his state of mind at this time.
The two wandered leisurely, and returned to Liu Wu's cave in the evening to rest.
There is a mysterious power in this cave that Qi Zhiming has always been absolutely avoided, and when he cultivates, he feels that he gets twice the result with half the effort.
So every time I go back to Mermaid Island, I will live in this cave.
The little dragon had already grown obvious horns, short and straight, as ugly as rhinoceros horns.
Ever since he mistakenly introduced Qi Zhiming into Xi's Cave Mansion, Xiaolong has always had a sneering expression.
Xiaolong's wisdom is very high, although Qi Zhiming has been blessed by misfortune and has obtained a lot of cultivation resources and treasures. But he also knew that he had led Qi Zhiming into danger, and his spirit had not been good.
As soon as he entered the cave, Xiaolong rushed out of the cave entrance, his big head rubbing against Qi Zhiming's body, affectionate.
Qi Zhiming touched the horns on the little dragon's head, and said, "The little dragon is becoming more and more like a dragon." โ
Xiaolong was even happier and shook his head to sell cuteness.
After playing for a while, Qi Zhiming and the princess crossed their knees and cultivated.
Time always moves fast before you know it.
The first rays of the morning sun shine on the sea, and the sparkling waves transform into a colorful and beautiful scene.
Qi Zhiming told Xiaolong to play by himself and not to go to the island. Then he left the cave and went to the elders.
Now that there is a rift in the barrier, it is certainly better to repair it sooner rather than later.
