008 Rain Trick
Watching the two of them quickly flee away one after the other, Youlan Mu slowly lowered his eyebrows, it is common for hostile forces to infiltrate each other and secretly engage in sabotage. Don't look at the Tianxuan Sect as one of the seven major cultivation sects of the Yan Kingdom, it still can't avoid such a problem.
Back at the accommodation, Youlan Mu did not rush to cultivate, but meditated on the first layer of the "Rain Trick".
According to the inscription, it takes four steps to perform the rain trick. First, a rotating water ball is condensed in the palm of the hand. The second is to infuse spiritual power into the center of the rotating water ball. Third, the water balloon is flattened and formed into a whirlpool. Fourth, drag the whirlpool to a high altitude and apply rainwater.
Youlan Mu carefully read the mental method, and it seems that this rain bathing recipe seems very simple, it is a mental method of condensing qi and applying rain.
He sat upright on the bed, condensed the spiritual power in the palm of his hand according to the method of Mu Yu, absorbed the water vapor in the air, condensed a palm-sized water ball in the center of his palm, and then drove the water ball to start rotating clockwise.
Seeing that the water balloon was spinning faster and faster, Youlan Mu's confidence increased greatly, and he was about to infuse spiritual power into the center of the water balloon, when suddenly a small water droplet flew out of the water ball and splashed on Youlan Mu's face. It was like a fuse, as the water balloon turned faster and faster, the centrifugal force gradually increased, and more and more small water droplets began to splash out, wetting his clothes, and in the blink of an eye, the palm-sized water balloon was only the size of a bean.
Youlan Mu frowned, he didn't expect that Mu Yujue, which looked quite simple, would have a problem in the first step of cultivation, and he held his breath and once again condensed a ball of water in his right palm. In order to make the water ball rotate smoothly, Youlan Mu distributed a large amount of spiritual power to wrap it on the surface of the water ball this time to stabilize the shape of the water ball.
Gradually, the water balloon rotated steadily and at high speed, and the first step of casting the Mu Yu Jue was successfully passed, but there was no joy on Youlan Mu's face, because the spiritual power he used to stabilize the water ball was twice the normal amount, and if you count the spiritual power poured into it after the water balloon was formed, the total spiritual power consumed was not a small amount.
The stubborn Youlan Mu has been battling with the water balloon all afternoon, hoping to condense the most stable rotating water ball with the least amount of spiritual power. This is not only exercising his ability to control spiritual power, but also his requirements for his own Dao heart. If you even fool around such a trivial matter as condensing water balls, how can you stand in front of the "Sin Monument" as a Youlan person in the future.
Youlan Mu's hands changed, constantly condensing the water ball, breaking again and again, failing again and again, and with the increase in the number of failures, the firmness in his eyes became more and more firm.
Just when he was condensing the six hundred and seventy-four water balls, there was a loud "bang", and the door of the house was suddenly kicked open from the outside, Youlan Mu was shocked, his fingers trembled, and the water balloon burst instantly, splashing him with cold water.
Youlan Mu wiped the water stains from his face, looked in the direction of the door with an angry face, and two outer disciples dressed in white walked straight in.
After the two entered the house, they didn't take a look at Youlan Mu, but rummaged around the house, as if they were looking for something.
"Two senior brothers, what do you mean by this?" Youlan Mu asked with a strong suppression of anger.
He found that the places that these two people were looking for had a characteristic, that is, they could hide people, whether it was under the bed or Wu Qingniu's big box, it was the focus of their search.
After searching for a while, the two found nothing, looked at each other and left in a hurry, leaving a room of mess, never looking at Youlan Mu from beginning to end, let alone saying a word to Youlan Mu, it seems that the named disciple is a dispensable existence in their eyes.
Watching the two white shadows leave, Youlan Mu's hands clenched tightly, although he understood the difference in identity between the registered disciple and the outer disciple, but this did not mean that he could tolerate the other party's behavior, he secretly determined that he must become stronger, so strong that no one could underestimate him.
Youlan Mu closed the door, simply cleaned up the house, and continued to cultivate, but not long after, several waves of outer disciples broke into his room, turning the bed and wardrobe that he had managed to make upside down, and the whole house was in chaos like a thief.
Youlan Mu clenched his teeth, he had anger in his heart, but he couldn't attack, the outer disciples were also above the sixth level of qi refining at the most, and the difference in strength could only make him choose temporary forbearance, and there were too many people who broke into his room, and he was not crazy enough to be able to argue with dozens of outer disciples.
Angry, Youlan Mu simply opened the door of the room, let others enter, and sat alone on the table to practice the trick of bathing in the rain.
Although his heart was not happy, Youlan Mu still felt a sense of urgency in the air, and tonight seemed to be a little different from usual.
In just one stick of incense, no less than a dozen groups of people came to his room, each of which was searching for a place to hide. And it's so late, Wu Qingniu hasn't come back yet, if it were usual, Wu Qingniu would have been lying on the bed and shouting at this moment.
All kinds of unusual signs made Youlan Mu start to guess what was going on. When the inner disciple dressed in black appeared in his hut, Youlan Mu realized that something must have happened to the Tianxuan Sect. For a moment, Youlan Mu thought of the white-clothed young man who was being chased and killed by the Jindan powerhouse on the periphery of the Spirit Plantation Garden.
Just as Youlan Mu thought, when Wu Qingniu dragged his tired body back, it brought him a big explosive news.
The only artifact of the Tianxuan Sect, the Hades King Mountain and River Ding, was stolen!
According to Wu Qingniu, the thief was an outer disciple of Lingzhiyuan, who hid the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building, and stole the Hades King Shanhe Ding from the Hundred Flowers Valley when the alchemy master was in retreat. Later, he was discovered by Uncle Lieyang and chased and killed all the way, although he severely injured the thief, but in the end he let the other party escape.
Uncle Lieyang spoke, this person was slapped with all his strength, and he could only live for two hours at most, and this person was very likely to be hidden somewhere within the scope of the Tianxuan Sect.
In order to find this thief, Baihua Valley posted a reward notice, but whoever can find this person's body will be rewarded with one Ji Dan and one Pei Yuan Dan. As soon as this news came out, it immediately exploded in the Tianxuan Sect.
Pei Yuan Dan is an elixir that can improve the physique of cultivators, and it is effective for disciples below the foundation building period, and it is exclusively for inner disciples to take, which is very valuable.
And not to mention the Zhuji Dan, when the tenth layer of Qi refining impacted the foundation building period, the success rate of promoting the foundation building period immediately increased by two layers, and if the Zhuji Dan was paired with some rare medicinal materials, it could also refine the pill that was beneficial to the cultivators of the foundation building period, and its preciousness was needless to say.
When Wu Qingniu came back so late, he went with the others to find the outer disciple who stole the artifact. As for the danger, Wu Qingniu didn't care, since Uncle Lieyang said that the other party would live for two hours at most, then the other party must be dead now, but he pinched it for two hours before he started to join the search team.
Hearing the news brought by Wu Qingniu, it is impossible to say that Youlan Mu is not moved, although he has not yet cultivated the Qi Sea, and there is still a long way to go before the tenth layer of Qi refining, but it does not mean that he does not need to build the Qi Dan, not to mention the hundred Pei Yuan Dan.
But after thinking about it, Youlan Mu gave up the idea of joining the search team.
Let's not talk about whether that person is dead or alive, Baihua Valley must have searched carefully before releasing the heavy reward, and Uncle Lieyang must have also searched for the whereabouts of the artifact "Hades Mountain and River Ding", since neither side has found it, it means that this person's hiding place is very secret, and it will not be able to find it for a while.
Moreover, the disciples of the Tianxuan Sect have been searching back and forth for no less than five hours, and Youlan Mu is now joining the search team, the probability of winning the lottery is really slim, rather than wasting time in an aimless search, it is better to focus on the assessment of the Spirit Plantation Garden.
There is another point, since that person can escape from the hands of the Jindan powerhouse, it is difficult to guarantee that he does not have a special life-saving means, although Uncle Lieyang released a big word, that person will not live for two hours, but if there is a case, with his second-level qi refining level encounters the foundation building period of the Great Perfection powerhouse, he will not even be able to hold on to a face.
With a decision in his heart, Youlan Mu immediately cultivated quietly and wholeheartedly prepared for the assessment of the Spirit Plant Garden at the end of next month.
In the past few days, in addition to going to the stone tablet to memorize the information of the spirit plant, Youlan Mu has spent the rest of his time cultivating the Mu Yu technique.
After continuous cultivation, now Youlan Mu condenses the water balloon to be very handy, although it is not perfect, but it can also enter the second step of casting the rain trick and infuse spiritual power.
This second step has no skills to speak of, that is, while stabilizing the high-speed selection of the water balloon, it is infused with spiritual power, and it only took one day for Youlan Mu to become familiar with this process.
Next, he just needs to keep compressing this rotating water ball, so that the water ball and spiritual power can achieve a perfect fusion, and present a flattened whirlpool, and the third step of performing the rain trick will be considered a complete success.
However, in the third step of compressing the water balloon, Youlanmu encountered great resistance.
The process of condensing the water balloon was very smooth, and there was no problem in infusing the water balloon with spiritual power, but when he wanted to compress the water ball, the rotating water ball always burst suddenly because of instability, and after eight consecutive failures, Youlan Mu had to meditate to recover his spiritual power because of the exhaustion of spiritual power.
In seven days, Youlan Mu didn't know how many times he wet his clothes, and even once because the water balloon burst was too powerful, he also injured his right hand, but he never gave up, like a tireless puppet, repeating boring movements, condensing water balls, compressing water balls.
Compared to Youlan Mu's persistence, the other disciples of the Tianxuan Sect showed even more crazy obsession. Within seven days, they had turned over almost the entire Tianxuan Sect, and they had slashed every piece of land, every cave, and even every stone three times, but the final result was still nothing, and the person seemed to have disappeared.
Everyone had different opinions, and some people said that the thief was not in the Tianxuan Sect at all, and he had already escaped. Some people also say that the thief was discovered, but the person who found the thief's body destroyed the body in order to occupy the Hades Mountain, River, and Ding.
As for the truth, Youlan Mu didn't know and didn't care, he concentrated on studying the Mu Yu technique.
From the eighth day onwards, some disciples began to give up the search. Ten days later, the Tianxuan Sect returned to its former tranquility, and it is unknown whether anyone secretly inquired about it.
In the bamboo forest, Youlan Mu sat on the cut 300 catties of black bamboo, and the high-speed rotating water ball in his hand continued to compress as his hands changed, and finally turned into a flattened whirlpool, like a rotating water wheel.
At the moment when the whirlpool was formed, Youlan Mulian cast a spell to sacrifice the whirlpool to the sky, and the whirlpool absorbed the water vapor in the air like a sponge, kept expanding, and finally turned into a rotating cloud, pulling up a rain curtain in the bamboo forest.
Looking up at the vast drizzle, Youlan Mu's tired face showed a smile of relief, he finally succeeded in practicing the rain trick, which was his biggest gain in more than ten days.
Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be something at the top of the bamboo tip in front of him, and the rain splashed hazy water on it, outlining a vague outline, and as the rain washed away, a layer of silver liquid actually flowed from the surface of the thing, shining in the rain curtain.
As the silver liquid passed, revealing patches of white silk underneath, when the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, an extremely handsome young man in white sat quietly on the end of the bamboo, like a lime wall washed by the rain, revealing his true face.
Seeing the other party's face clearly, Youlan Mu was suddenly shocked in his heart.
It's him!
