What is Qi and what is Technique?

Ever since he had seen another kind of "starry sky", this question had been deeply rooted in Xia Fan's mind.

In the eyes of outsiders, he may have worked extremely hard and spent all his free time on cultivation, but in fact, he has never forgotten to think and explore while cultivating qi. Although there was only a limit to what he could do at the time, he did not follow the script, but tried as much as he could.

For example, if you want to trigger a complete operation, medicine or materials are indispensable, and such things are often directly or indirectly related to the operation itself, and the requirements are not limited. If we think of this connection as the reaction of consciousness to matter, then where is its scope? A small piece of beeswax can cast a flame in the palm of the hand, and a large handful of sawdust can also do it, but the latter is much weaker and has little practical value, so it is not necessary for everyone to choose the former as the standard medicinal material.

Could there be a more suitable material than beeswax?

Xia Fan didn't know.

He didn't have the energy to study every technique, especially when he was wandering.

For several years, he had only studied one technique.

Of all the techniques taught by a master, the only one that can be regarded as an attack is the "Earthquake Technique".

- Three more charms have fallen off the belly one after another.

Even if Xia Fan didn't look up, he knew who those empty black ropes would be heading for.

He didn't even get a chance to touch the rune paper.

Within a second or two at most, the charm will surround him, and even if he can get away with it, he will definitely not be able to avoid the joint strangulation of several ropes.

Without the guidance of the talisman, it is at most a dual technique.

But Xia Fan had no choice at the moment.

Without thinking, he reached for his neck and ripped off the pendant around his neck - after handing over the medicine bag, he left this thing alone and made it into a pendant to carry with him, just in case of accidents.

Xia Fan believes that this material is a unique introduction in the world, and no one has used it except him.

This is also his hole card!

Xia Fan lifted the pendant, and the whole process of the spell had already been constructed in his mind-

"Earthquake Return, Thunder!"

For a moment, he felt that the charm had pounced in front of him, and the black rope above his head was only a stone's throw away. However, they are not much different from stillness compared to the power of nature. In the next second, the two were still close to him, but an extremely dazzling blue light came first, suddenly filling his entire field of vision!

......

"Thunder?" Overlord Xingtian was slightly surprised.

I saw a white mark suddenly appear in the dark night, as if the sky was split in two, and its landing point was on the fracture of the city wall.

It came and went so fast, disappearing and invisible in the blink of an eye, but it was not an illusion, and with a deafening explosion, the entire Qingshan Town seemed to shake!

After the thunder rolled, a new flame appeared - it came from inside the city walls. What started out as a spark quickly spread into a raging fire. Under the lightning strike, the wooden beams were all ignited, and heat waves and thick smoke tumbled upwards along the fracture until new flames burst out at the top of the city wall.

A huge torch suddenly appeared in the middle of the Western Wall!

The bright light faded the shadows of all things, and the charm that climbed the wall was fixed in place like a sculpture, and the demon wailed and struggled in the fire, trying to escape, but in the face of this heavenly fire, it was doomed to be in vain.

The invigilator Shen Chun naturally knew why his boss was surprised, among all the magic techniques, the shock technique could be regarded as the group with the smallest number of masters, not only the few related talents, but also the actual users. This is not that the effect of the earthquake is low, on the contrary, its effect on dealing with evil spirits is more significant than that of the separation technique, so there is a saying that "when the thunder appears, the demon is easy to hide". The biggest problem with the earthquake technique is the introduction, in the current recorded lightning method, its raw materials basically involve lightning wood, and the lightning wood regardless of the material grade, the lowest is the same price as the same as the gold leaf. Because this thing is extremely difficult to collect, and it is rare to encounter it once in a few years if you are unlucky, it is difficult to practice the earthquake technique.

If the introduction is so rare that you can't see it, how can there be more people who use it?

But the thunder in front of me is amazing, it doesn't look like an unfamiliar work at all, but it looks like the result of a thousand tempers.

Xia Fan, as a casual candidate, how could he have any resources to practice the seismic technique? Either he lied about his origin, or he was extremely lucky, and he happened to bump into a tree that was struck by lightning somewhere. But Shen Chun didn't think that the latter was very likely - after all, the price of lightning strike wood was there, if ordinary people had such an opportunity, as long as the wood was sold in batches, the income would be enough to eat for a few lifetimes, so why should there be any need to take the test?

"My lord......" He was about to investigate Xia Fan and his person thoroughly, but was interrupted by a hearty laugh from his boss.

"Hahahaha, this Shikou is really the most exciting one in the years!" Overlord Tianfu said, seemingly unconcerned about how a scattered sect had mastered the seismic technique to such an extent, "I thought that under the destruction of the city, this person might be forced to show it, but I didn't expect him to choose to take the initiative to attack to avoid the situation falling into the mud, and he did it so well, his courage and means are the best choice!" After that, he looked at the short man, "How about it, you can't find fault with it this time, right?" It's the materials needed for the seismic technique, but I'm afraid it's not very good... ...”

"It's just a lightning strike, even if he wants meteoric iron and jade, what's the matter?" the short man said disapprerovingly, "Do you think I'll be short of these foreign objects?"

"Yes. Ba Xingtian touched his beard, "But I heard that he is a vibrator by nature, he is fierce and irritable, and he is difficult to get along with, and the more talented he is, the more difficult it is to control." ”

"Wouldn't that be better?" the short man chuckled, "if this man is at the mercy of others, and whoever else comes the same, how can I win over my sibling......s?"

"What a pity?"

"He's not much of a listener. ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, then laughed at the same time.

Only Shen Chun trembled when he heard it, and his back was cold. With the attitude of a short man, how can he feel that if the other party is a listener, he will be right? As for the question of how Xia Fan got the lightning strike wood, it is not worth mentioning at all compared to the listener. Knowing this, Shen Chunzhen didn't want to come with the two of them to observe the examination up close. However, Lord Xingtian is his top boss again, who said that speaking directly to his face is not another sense of trust? Therefore, no matter how heavy it is, he can only stay honest at the moment.

"Okay," Ba Xingtian stopped laughing and instructed Shen Chun, "This is the end of the exam, let the people below restart the big formation and clean up the mess." ”

"Now?" he asked in surprise, "it's just past the hour......

"There's no point in taking the test again, even demons can't cross the city walls, do you think those charms are still useful?" the other waved his hand, turned around and walked downstairs, "That's enough." ”

......

The moment the thunder resounded over Qingshan Town, it also woke Li up from his chaotic thoughts.

She pressed the bandage on the wound and walked slowly to the sealed window. Through the wooden planks nailed to it, the fox demon could vaguely see the flickering fire not far away.

Did you even use the seismic technique?

She seemed to be able to imagine the intensity of the confrontation outside.

This is the test of humanity - recruiting all the Qi Recruiters, doing her best in a near-actual drill, and only the winner can cross the threshold and become a member of the Privy Council, which shows how unfathomable the behemoth she has to face.

When Xia Fan invited her to go to Gyeonggi Shangyuan with her, she found that the biggest feeling in her heart was fear. You can be stubborn in your mouth, and you can not fall behind in front of the other party, but you can't deceive yourself with your actual thoughts. Even Li herself was surprised, obviously she was not even afraid of death, but when she thought of approaching the monster that even the master didn't dare to resist so soon, she couldn't sleep peacefully.

It's as if this fear comes from the depths of the soul.

It's not that Li didn't think about saying goodbye after the injury healed, anyway, with Xia Fan's level, it was impossible to look at her. The road to Shangyuan is very long, as long as she tells the other party everything she has heard before parting, it can't be regarded as a debt-after all, isn't this what the other party wants?

Revenge on the Privy Council is a matter that must be considered in the long run......

Until this thunderclap sounded.

In Li's eyes, the candidates in the small town are timid and clumsy, and most of them are mercenary, and she doesn't look down on them at all. But even this group of people will gamble everything for the qualified places, fight hard, and fight to this point in the night of the Great Wilderness. This will was like thunder, pulling her out of the foresight.

That's right, but what about working with Fangshi?

What about going to Gyeonggi?

What she had to do was almost impossible, but did it really work to follow the rules and think long-term?

Someone willing to come into contact with a demon is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she should make good use of it, not be indecided.

The Privy Council in Gyeonggi is indeed terrifying, but if you want to find your master, it will be a matter of time before you face it, otherwise no matter how many candidates are scared away, it will not shake its foundation.

As a demon, Li Yuan thought that she would never have a good impression of Thunder, but at this moment, she unexpectedly felt that this Thunder was not bad-

Human candidates can be indomitable, how could she lose to these people?

......

After the blue light dissipated, the charm was gone, and a huge gap appeared in the demon's abdomen, and black gas erupted with its wail, as if it were its blood.

Xia Fan withdrew his hand, and the touch of the pendant still remained between his fingers.

That's the answer he'd been finding for years.

Is there a more suitable material for seismosis thunder than lightning wood?

A magnet with copper wire wound around it is.

Copper alone is not enough, nor can it be a single magnet, only when the former is pulled a little thinner, and wrapped tightly around the latter, can such a significant effect be exerted.

If this connection is also one of the reactions of consciousness to matter, Xia Fan feels that he has vaguely touched the edge of it.

Perhaps, as he had thought before-

His common sense was running in a form he didn't know.

To unravel this answer, he would have to go to the Privy Council.
