Half a year later, inside the cave stone.

In the past six months, in order to speed up the progress of cultivation, Shi An had to stay in the formation for more than eight hours every day, and now it has been more than two months since he entered the sixth layer of qi refining, and fifty-six water spirit stones have also been used.

During this period, my cultivation went very smoothly, and I never encountered any difficult bones. It's just that Shi An has always had a problem that is difficult to understand, that is, comparing the "Fog Sea Infinite Law" and the method of Guihai, the former has a lot of similarities with the latter, and the meridians of each singular level of the heart method are the same as the meridians of the latter layer, and the mantra is also the same, the only difference is that the former is only five fewer acupuncture points than the latter, while the even-numbered level is not, from the meridians to the mantra are very different, without any similarity. This coincidence also made him wonder if the two might be inextricably linked.

On the fourth day after Shi An took the last pill of Bigu Dan, he began to feel hungry in his stomach that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Why did he run out of food at the juncture when he was about to hit the seventh layer of qi refining in one go, Shi An was very annoyed.

This is not like in the city, the ingredients can be bought everywhere, even if you are too lazy to take care of it, at least there are restaurants that can easily solve the problem of filling your stomach, where to find food in this barren mountain and wild mountains? Bigu Dan is not a high-grade pill, it is sold in all Danfangs in Kaiyuan City, a low-grade spirit stone, but Shi An really didn't want to waste the spirit stone at the beginning, so he didn't buy it, but now he regrets it.

Regret does not help to solve the current problem, there is no ready-made food, so you can only do it yourself, but how to do it yourself, use spells? There are very few Fog Sea Spirit Water Recipe spells, there are only three in total in the Qi refining period, and the water arrow technique with attack power can only be practiced until the seventh layer, and there is also a defensive spell Water Shield Technique that can only be practiced at the eighth layer, and now only the water polo technique of the sixth layer has been practiced.

Shi An only understood the truth of magic after learning water balloon, in fact, magic is that the monk releases the aura in his body, and through certain spells or mudras, he transforms it into something offensive or defensive. Reiki is like the strength of mortals, and spells are like martial arts moves, no matter how great the strength is, if there is no suitable trick, the prime-aged wrestler can't beat an old man, so clever spells have always been pursued by monks. Although this spiritual water trick is extremely powerful to cultivate, the low level of spells in it is a big disappointment, even if you make a big water ball, how can it be of great use?

Thinking about it, it can only be used to trap the demon beasts on the mountain with the help of the formation, and it is reliable to act as food.

So he made two formations in the Dongtian Stone, one is the beast hunting formation that kills the demon beasts trapped in the formation, this formation he is very familiar with, when he was in Kaiyuan City, many monks who hunted demon beasts for a living must have done it, and the trap formation and the illusion formation were enough, but Shi An was worried that he would not be able to slaughter the demon beast, so he added a formation that could play the fireball technique on his own.

In addition, he also made a formation to keep the meat fresh, although this formation is very simple but very practical, this is Shi An has been invented after exploring in the past few days, after all, no monk who has the ability to set up a formation still needs to keep his meat fresh, so naturally he will not invent such a formation.

This is the first time in half a year that Shi An has come out of the Cave Sky Stone. It was dark outside at night, and the refreshing wind made him feel very comfortable. Standing on the rooftop, he didn't dare to climb the cliff directly, and first released his divine sense to the mountain to investigate. Now that the first layer of his Divine Technique had been completed, it was enough to put his Divine Sense out of the way, and when he didn't find anything unusual, he cautiously climbed up the cliff.

He found a place with dense vegetation and a lot of spirit grass in the middle, and he believed that this place should be able to attract some herbivorous demon beasts that gnawed on spirit grass.

After arranging the beast hunting formation, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a main ingredient in this spirit grass called "Gu Wei Cao" for making Bigu Dan, so he simply picked it all down, and then released the water aura in his body, and after reciting the mantra, he turned into a ruler to hang the water ball in the air, and he put all the Gu Wei grass he picked in it, and took it out after a while, and all the dirt on the spirit grass was washed, and then he put it in his mouth to relieve the unbearable hunger.

Early the next morning, Shi An came out of bed and withdrew his consciousness from the futon. When he was about to see the effect of nourishing his divine consciousness overnight, he suddenly noticed that there was something strange in the ancestral aperture, and a force of divine consciousness rushed out uncontrollably, scurrying around in the cave stone, until he knocked down a stack of stone slabs with a bang, and then turned back to the ancestral aperture.

After a period of dizziness, Shi An realized that it should be his divine consciousness that had advanced, and the indiscriminate collision of this divine consciousness just now was a manifestation of entering the realm of moving objects and not yet learning to control the direction and strength. He was overjoyed in his heart, and he didn't care about entering the Spirit Gathering Array to cultivate again, but hurriedly read the cultivation content of the second layer of the Great Yan Duel.

The second layer of the Great Yan Decision is divided into three parts, the first part is still the Divine Extension Technique, but the focus of the cultivation here is to exercise the sixth consciousness in the ancestral aperture, to fully prepare for the split divine consciousness, the second part is the Imperial Technique, which tells how to manipulate the divine consciousness to carry out the Imperial Object, and the third part is the Distraction Technique, which tells how to divide the divine consciousness into two and two into four.

He didn't have time to dwell on it, so he simply ignored the contents of the first and third parts and carefully read the practice of the Imperial Arts. After reading it, he muttered to himself: "It turns out that it is so simple, it seems that I have complicated the control of my divine sense. ”

In fact, as early as when Shi An tried to use his divine sense to bring his body into the Cave Heaven Stone, he had already mastered the control method, which was to use his divine sense to wrap the object he wanted to drive, but his body was better controlled, and other external objects had to be practiced diligently to master.

It was like a layer of window paper that would break as soon as he poked it, and after understanding the principle of divine sense repellent, it only took him one day to be able to staggeringly lift five stone slabs and travel a distance of three feet. Shi An believes that as long as he practices diligently, flying with a sword like his master is just around the corner.

And when his stomach rumbled again, he remembered that he should go and see the harvest of his beast hunting formation.

Finding the location of the formation eye, Shi An reached out into the formation and took down the lower grade spirit stone, and the formation immediately stopped running.

There was a corpse of a demon beast lying in the center of the formation, because it had been roasted by the fireball technique, it was so black that it was impossible to distinguish what kind it was, and it could only be seen that it was similar in size to an adult rabbit. The monster beast had been roasted and was emitting a burst of aroma. The hungry Shi An had already moved his index fingers, so he stepped forward quickly, and before he had time to peel off all the burnt parts outside, he began to eat in a big gulp.

Shi An wiped his oily lips, put the lower grade spirit stone in the formation, picked up the rest of the food and returned to the rooftop contentedly.

In the next few days, Shi An would continue his cultivation by burrowing into the formation during the day, and in the evening, he would go to the beast hunting formation to harvest food, and every day a demon beast similar to a rabbit or goat would make food, which was enough for him to consume his vitality for a day. In the evening, he will practice the second layer of the Great Yan Decision, and when his consciousness is free, he will be placed in the futon to nourish. His ability to control the divine sense is also getting stronger and stronger, and when he goes to the formation to get food again on the seventh day, he has been able to stand on the rooftop and use his divine sense to complete all the work from stopping the operation of the formation, to taking out the prey, to running the formation again, and finally retrieving the prey. Of course, because the power of his divine sense is not strong, he is also tired and painful after doing all this.

Time passed little by little in this non-stop cultivation, and two months later, Shi An entered the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Period.

During this period of time, except for the need to go out every day to pick up cooked prey, he stayed in the cave stone to cultivate the rest of the time. Through this period of cultivation, Shi An also found that it is also water aura, but there is still a difference between yin-water and yang water, not to mention the nature of one feminine and the other fierce, even the color is quite different, yin-water aura is light blue, while yang water aura is dark blue.

The beast hunting formation basically harvests every day, and it is already easy to complete the work of collecting prey while standing on the rooftop. No one has passed through this place for such a long time, and Shi An no longer worries about being discovered. The prey obtained was all roasted by the fireballs in the array, and it was difficult to distinguish the species, but according to the teeth of the corpses, they were all herbivorous monsters. There was also a time when the formation was destroyed by the prey, and Shi An estimated that he ran into a second-level demon beast that could not be controlled by this formation.

The cost of a lower-grade spirit stone in the hunting beast formation for half a year made him feel distressed, and the lower-grade spirit stone left by the ancestor in his hand was used for the rune board and rune knife operation, and there was not much left after buying books and jade slips, and the only two remaining ones were only enough for a year, although the water spirit stone could also be replaced, but Shi An was reluctant.

In terms of spells, Shi An has learned the water arrow technique, which is an offensive spell that can be practiced when refining qi at the seventh layer, releasing the negative water aura in the body, and reciting the magic trick, it can be turned into a water arrow, because it has not entered the foundation building period, and it cannot be controlled by the aura to control its running direction, so it can only shoot directly at the enemy on the opposite side, and its attack power is only related to the amount of aura released.

Like the water polo technique, Shi An didn't do much practice, not because he was lazy or felt unnecessary, but because he had too few spirit stones, he didn't dare to waste them indiscriminately. In Shi An's opinion, the current realm improvement is the top priority, as for the spells, he has no worries about food and clothing at present, and it is not useful, it is better to wait until he has enough spirit stones to practice hard.

The cultivation of the second layer of the Great Yan Decision has not stopped. There has been initial progress in the Distraction Technique, and his Divine Consciousness has been split into two, and whenever he thinks of the pain when he splits his Divine Consciousness, Shi An is still a little frightened. Under the nourishment of the uninterrupted cultivation of the Divine Extension Technique and the futon, these two divine senses had gradually grown to the point where they would soon be able to perform the next Divine Split. The art of imperial objects has also been completely mastered, but because there is no magic weapon in his hand, he can't test whether he can hurt people, let alone try to fly.
