Chapter 20: Cultivation
Xi Ning stretched out his palm, turned his palm into a claw, and his sharp nails dug a shallow pit the size of a bowl in the middle of the stone chamber like a sharp blade, just enough to fix the demon crystal in it.
Afterwards, Xi Ning took out nine Star Stones and formed a formation around the demon crystal, and used the pre-ground Star Stones to connect each Star Stone to draw a complete circle.
When the last stroke is completed, the circle shimmers, and the star stone and stone powder gradually lose their color and turn to dust, and the circle activates.
I saw that the magic circle transformed into a light yellow semi-circular barrier, enveloping the demon crystal, and the energy of the demon crystal was slowly released through the power of the magic circle, and the entire stone room became warm.
"This is the demon crystal of a phoenix-crowned fire python that has been cultivated to reach the Xuanling realm. The phoenix-crowned fire python is a fire-attribute demon beast, and through the stimulation of the magic circle, the energy in the phoenix-crowned fire python demon crystal will slowly emit out, which can be used for heating and lighting. What you eat on weekdays is the demon crystals of the lowest-level Xuanqi realm demon beasts, and when you grow up, you can digest the high-level demon crystals. ”
Xi Ning has always loved Shu Li as an eyeball, but in the eyes of outsiders, the extremely precious demon crystal was used by her without hesitation to warm her granddaughter.
The five houses that have fallen into the Xi clan are still so extravagant, which shows that the wealth of the entire Xi clan will definitely cause all kinds of demon beasts in the Qingxuan Mountain Range to covet. This is also the reason why the elders of the clan are so worried about the degeneration of the Xi clan's bloodline and the lack of successors. Without the ability to protect their wealth, what awaits them will be the speed of light.
Shu Li has seen countless demon crystals in the past six months, and although this demon crystal of the Xuanling Realm Phoenix Crown Fire Python is rare, it can't attract her attention. Instead, she looked at the circle with interest.
"Grandmother, would you like to give me some stones and stone powder?"
Xi Ning readily agreed.
Shu Li was still in the form of a beast at this time, carefully twisting her claws and drawing a gourd according to Xi Ning's formation, but there was no movement.
"The circle is perfect. But when setting up a formation, you need to use the occult power secretly, and of course your magic circle will not work if it has an empty appearance. Xi Ning smiled and touched Shu Li's head.
She patiently explained to Shu Li: "The Star Stone is called the array in this array, and there is a formation eye hidden in these nine arrays, and the Xuan Force controls the stone powder to connect all the formations from the formation eye, and finally return to the formation eye, which can complete a magic circle." The eyes of the array are there, and the circle is open; The eyes of the array are separated, and the circle is closed; The eyes of the array are destroyed, and the circle is scattered. ”
As he spoke, Xi Ning reached out and took out an inconspicuous star stone from under the magic circle that emitted a pale yellow light in front of him, and the magic circle stopped working. When Xi Ning put the Star Stone back again, the circle recovered. And that inconspicuous star stone slowly disappeared.
"After the circle is completed, when it is first activated, all materials except the eye of the circle will be reduced to ashes. In order to ensure that the circle is not easily destroyed, the array mage needs to learn how to hide and protect the array eye. ”
When Shu Li was a person in her previous life, she was an elite in the design industry, very sensitive to graphics and good at painting.
"How can you learn the formation without Xuan Li?" Xi Ning smiled, just thinking that he was innocent, and coaxed Shu Li: "It's time for you to sleep!" You must get 10 hours of sleep a day in order for you to grow up healthy. ”
Feeling the warmth rippling in the stone room, Shu Li was indeed a little sleepy, the body of this young beast was too immature.
Xi Ning accompanied Shu Li to sleep in the stone room for the first time in half a year.
When I woke up, it was noon.
Xi Ning left Shu Li behind, walked alone along the passage to the cliff of Wuling Mountain, climbed up Wuling Mountain along the steep cliff, and secretly took spring water while the demon beasts on Wuling Mountain were taking a nap.
She boiled a pot of broth with the sweet spring water. The meat is air-dried animal meat sent by the Great Elder, which is full of flavor and fragrance, not only delicious but also contains sufficient energy, which is very suitable for Shu pear.
"Pear, it's time to eat!"
Xi Ning is becoming more and more like a grandmother who dotes on her children. She blew the broth cool and brought it to Shu Li, afraid that the child would wet the fur, so she happily fed it one spoonful after another.
This made Shu Li very unhappy: "Grandmother, I can eat it myself!" ”
"You're still young!"
"I'm not small! I know what you taught me! Shu Li protested, and couldn't help but slander in her heart, if she hadn't crossed over, she would have been a Ben San person!
Xi Ning smiled and obeyed Shu Li's heart, and since he lived in the stone room, Xi Ning, who had been tense and nervous, smiled more.
After eating, Xi Ning, who had cleaned up, sat opposite Shu Li and said, "Li'er, from today onwards, my grandmother will take you to practice Xuanli together." ”
Xi Ning slowly and meticulously began his explanation: "Demon beasts practice Xuan Li, and they start earlier than humans. Humans can only cultivate after the age of 5, while most demon beasts can do it at the age of 2. The rat is blessed with high qualifications, and can be cultivated at the age of 1. ”
"Although the strength of your physical body has reached the late stage of the Xuan Body Realm, the lack of nourishment of Xuan Power in your bones and veins has caused your own strength to not keep up with the strength of your physical body. To put it simply, it's empty. ”
"Actually, the power of the mystery is the energy you have obtained from yourself, which may come from the food, herbs and demon crystals you eat in your stomach, or it may also come from absorbing from the outside world. You just ate the food, and now your body should be full of energy. If these energies can be mobilized and run in your body in a certain way, then they will be transformed into mystical power and will always exist in your body. If this energy cannot be converted into mystical power, it will be slowly depleted. ”
"Now, my grandmother will use her own Xuan Power to drive the energy in your body to operate, you have to keep in mind the route of the operation in your body, don't worry, after a long time, you will naturally cultivate your Xuan power."
Xi Ning is now in the late stage of the Xuanling Realm, and her Xuan power is unpredictable, and she controls her Xuan power to turn into a faint glowing gas, which enters Shu Li's body through the center of her eyebrows.
Her mystical power passed through Shu Li's limbs and finally settled in her abdomen.
"Concentrate on your breath, if you can't look inward, feel it with your heart."
Shu Li really couldn't see inward, and could only see the situation in her body clearly, and could only feel that there was a stream of gas guiding the energy in her abdomen to slowly circulate according to a certain route of muscles and veins.
In the following days, Xi Ning had been unhurried and impatient to take Shu Li to practice after dinner.
Shu Li has not been able to get started in cultivation, and she is very discouraged.
"Patience! You're not yet a year old, so there's no need to worry. This is Xi Ning's repeated emphasis.
After more than 20 days, Shu Li woke up from her dream and found that her grandmother was not in the stone room. She sniffed the scent in the stone chamber, and Xi Ning's scent disappeared in the passage to the Xi clan.
