This year, Shi An's life was extremely substantial, and he didn't dare to stop improving his cultivation, but his progress slowed down significantly, so it took more than eight months to reach the eighth layer. This layer has Shi An's first defensive spell, the Water Shield Technique. Condensing water aura can form a water shield, at first it is only the size of an ordinary small shield, and the amount of aura output determines the size of the defense.

Shi An's water archery skills are now very proficient. In the long-term practice, he found that if he spit out a number of spiritual qi in a row, and then recite the magic trick to form a number of water arrows at a time, forming a cluster of water arrows, and now, he has a new idea, start all the water spirit roots to spit out a large amount of spiritual energy at a time, and then decompose the spiritual energy while reciting the magic formula, the number of water arrow groups formed is more, and the speed is faster. At this moment, he really understood the true meaning of the description of the water arrow in the Fog Sea Spirit Water Technique, "After mastering this method, the water arrow can change from a single shot to a group shot".

In addition, Shi An's killer weapon is to use his divine sense to control several of the water arrows, forming a group of arrows that fly straight forward and can control the direction at will. At the same time, drawing on the practice of "two arrows in one" of the day, many water arrows were merged separately to form a coarser and more lethal giant water arrow. He was confident that if he met a monk like Jiaojiao again, he would be able to take her life with just one face.

The Distraction Technique was also progressing well, and Shi An had just recently split the four divine senses into eight. Although this practice weakens the quality of each divine consciousness to a certain extent, it is more important in terms of quantity. Imagine that it is more terrifying for a monk to use his divine sense to control a murderous weapon to inflict a full blow on his opponent, or to control more than a hundred weapons to kill the enemy in all directions? Once the former dodges the fatal blow, the situation will return to the same as before, while the latter has no place to hide, and the injury is inevitable, and the situation will immediately change significantly.

Of course, Shi An will not stop the cultivation of the Divine Extension Technique, the reason why he can split the Divine Technique so quickly and many times is also because of the penance of the Divine Extension Technique and the nourishment of the futon, and every time the Divine Consciousness is split, each Divine Consciousness must be restored to a similar state as before, which means that Shi An's Divine Consciousness is now eight times that of the initial split. If there is no clever Divine Extension Technique, especially the nourishment of that futon, I am afraid that it would still be in the out-of-body realm of reading jade slips.

There is also progress in the cultivation of the Imperial Technique, and at the same time, there is no problem in controlling the double sword and double shield to fight for an hour, just because his divine sense is not strong enough, and he can't fly as he wants, and the current limit of flight is only twenty zhang, Shi An calculated, the master has flown more than 3,000 miles with him, so what level is his divine sense so strong? This question bothered him for a long time, and it wasn't until thirty-six years later that he advanced to the rank of Monk Yudan that he realized that Yuan Miaozi's sword flight relied entirely on aura, and if it came to the strength of his divine sense, Shi An was not much worse than Yuan Miaozi now.

A total of one hundred and thirty-six water spirit stones have been used up to the eighth layer, which is a little more expensive than the initial estimate of one hundred and twenty-eight, mainly for occasionally practicing water archery and water shield techniques in the cave stone, although Shi An is a little distressed, but he does not regret it at all. And the recent results of looking inside the sea of qi also made him feel a little at ease, the sea of qi was already as big as the mouth of a bowl, and the dark blue spiritual mist was dissipating more and more slowly. Different from the previous situation, the newborn wood spirit root in the past was like a strong man of the right age, he swallowed the water spiritual energy in one gulp, and after he was full, he would slowly accumulate until he reached the next level. And after reaching the eighth layer, the wood spirit root is like an old person, chewing and swallowing the water spirit qi slowly, and the slower it is absorbed, the less it comes, Shi An guesses that it should be that this new wood spirit root has gradually matured.

Of course, this is a good thing, the less water aura the wood spirit root absorbs, the less time and water spirit stones it takes to cultivate and improve, the earlier the wood spirit root appears, the sooner he can enjoy the benefits brought by the wood spirit root, thinking of this, Shi An is full of longing for the future.

Hunting takes place every day. That beast hunting formation was only used for a few days for the first few days, and when it was already able to easily subdue the demon beasts trapped in the formation, it was put away. For the next year, he would go to the forest every evening to look for prey, first some herbivorous and harmless first-level demon beasts such as the Flame Rat, Wind Chaser Rabbit, and Burn-horned Deer, and then carnivorous first-class demon beasts such as the Golden Light Python, Ice and Fire Wolf, Mountain Pushing Beast, and Red Raccoon Beast, these demon beasts were known from the jade slips of the "Low-level Demon Beast Illustrated Book" brought by Shi An. Shi An's so-called hunting is not to kill them, only to pursue and not hurt the herbivorous demon beasts, mainly to practice the speed and technique of shuttling through the forest sea, and to the carnivorous demon beasts, first fight and then shoot without taking their lives, practicing combat experience and the psychology of battle.

A year of hunting has made it difficult for Shi An to get better training from the battle of the first-level demon beasts, so he has always hoped to have a chance to fight against the second-level demon beasts.

Although the second-level demon beast is comparable to the foundation building monk in terms of cultivation, it already has some quite lethal instinct spells, such as the wind blade of the wind howling cat, the fireball of the yellow-crowned snake, the ground grass of the tea mountain dog, the sonic attack of the white-haired tiger, etc., so the general foundation building monk will definitely not fall behind in the battle. These demon beasts are very rare in the northern vein of Zijun Mountain, Shi An shuttled through the forest and kept searching, but he never had the opportunity to encounter it, and he also had the plan to go to the southern vein to find second-level demon beasts to try his skills. He thought that if his strength was enough, he would further hone his actual combat level, but if he really touched the hard stubble, he couldn't beat the Heavenly Stone in the Cave, anyway, they were not monks, and he was not afraid of them seeing it.

He didn't find the second-level demon beast, but the second-level demon beast found him.

Today's mountains and forests were different from usual, surprisingly quiet, and Shi An guessed that this might be a precursor to the appearance of a fierce demon beast. The divine sense looked around, and the strange thing was that there was no movement within a radius of five miles.

Suddenly, a gale of wind hit from the sky overhead, Shi An didn't have time to think about it, he used his divine sense to pull himself to the side for more than three feet, and with a pat on his waist, the small metal shield immediately blocked in front of him, and Wanqing and Chu Jian also hovered left and right. With a bang, a fireball the size of a ruler smashed a big hole in the position he was standing just now, and he looked into the air, only to see a large red eagle with a length of two feet and a residual fire staring at him, ready to attack for the second time.

Eagles in the secular world are not uncommon, goshawks and sparrowhawks are often encountered when Shi An and Master are collecting medicine in the mountains, these eagles mainly feed on small animals such as rabbits, snakes, and sheep, and as long as they do not provoke them, they generally do not actively attack humans. And the eagle in the immortal cultivation realm was the first time he had seen it, and he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to attack him.

Shi An carefully recalled the types of eagles described in the "Low-level Demon Beast Illustrated Book", the first-level middle-level demon beast blue-backed eagle and the first-level upper-level demon beast Luoyun Eagle were not so big, and one color was gray, and the other was white. With such a large body and fiery red, and the only one who can attack with fireballs is the second-level lower-level demon beast Yan Ying. The second-level demon beasts in the northern vein are extremely rare, Shi An has not encountered one in the forest for so long, he didn't expect to come directly to the door today, what's going on?

Doubts are doubts, he didn't dare to slack off, and sacrificed a water shield to protect his heart.

Yan Ying's sudden gaze sharpened, and he hissed, and spat out a string of fire blades from his mouth and hit Shi An's head directly. Shi An once again used a small shield to protect the top of his head, and the two swords fired together, attacking Yan Ying with one left and one right, and the attack was swift.

The wings flickered, and another strong wind blew towards the two swords, and Wan Qing and Chu Jian fell on their heads under the blow of the strong wind, and flew to the left and right. Shi Anxin secretly thought, the number of this divine sense has gone up, but the strength has been reduced, and it is difficult to use this to kill this eagle directly, but it is good to keep harassing it, depending on whether the speed of your wings is fast or my means are high.

The Divine Sense commanded the two swords to re-divide the left and right to attack the eyes of Yan Ying, but this time the speed was different. Wanqing is relatively light and fast, and she goes straight into her left eye, while the speed of the first sword is a little slower, and she goes straight to her right eye. At the same time, Shi An sent out a large stream of aura, and then divided into twelve water arrows and went straight to Yan Ying's abdomen, and then released four thicker water arrows to fly towards his throat with divine sense.
