Chapter Thirty-Six: Cultivating for a Skyrocket?
After keeping the cooks busy for a while, Xia Jiang filled his stomach with wind and clouds, and then came to the garden cultivation ground. The cultivation of the Demon Devouring Sword, coupled with the cold of winter, most of the plants here have died, and the benefits of cultivating here to Xia Jiang are not so obvious now, but it doesn't matter, he just wants to consolidate his current cultivation now.
The first stage of demon [demon addiction], through the old man's rehearsal of the characteristics of this stage, he has roughly understood that the so-called "demon addiction" is to rely on the power of demon devouring to use each environment, and then use the nature of environmental elements to fight.
To put it simply, he was now able to display the power of the Devouring Sword at any time, even if it was just an ordinary dirt field.
Holding the Demon Devouring Sword, Xia Jiang closed his eyes and entered a meditative state, feeling the surrounding environment in his heart, faintly, through the Demon Devouring Sword, he felt the aura of the earth element around him, including the smell of earth, the vastness of the earth, and the touch of the soles of his feet, etc., which made him feel more with the earth element, these inductions were like countless particles converging towards the Demon Devouring Sword, although faint but could be felt.
Xia Jiang followed this faint fluctuation, and did not make a large movement, but only held the Demon Devouring Sword very naturally, carefully experiencing this absorption state as if it was some kind of exchange.
For half a day, Xia Jiang was motionless, and the whole person was immersed in this state, and gradually, Xia Jiang felt that he was fluttering, as if he had also turned into some particles and entered the Demon Devouring Sword. Gradually, he felt the countless trickles of the Demon Devouring Sword enter his bloodline, making the flow of the bloodline slow and steady, moving in his body like countless gravel, and the movement rubbed out flames and burned the rubble, making it more tenacious.
All kinds of strange feelings made Xia Jiang gradually immersed in it and enter a state of selflessness.
When Xia Jiang woke up again, a day had passed, and what was a little strange was that his entire body was actually covered with a layer of ashes, and the sword body had also turned into a dark copper color.
Standing up, Xia Jiang trembled, shook all the dust on his body to the ground, and was about to pick up the Demon Devouring Sword, but he didn't expect that when he drew the sword, the whole person almost fell down all of a sudden!
"This ...... It's so heavy!" Xia Jiang's eyes widened, in disbelief, the Demon Devouring Sword, which was originally only a few dozen catties, seemed to weigh as much as a thousand catties or ten thousand catties, and he couldn't pull it out all of a sudden.
Yes!
Taking a deep breath, Xia Jiang let out a loud sigh, and then pulled out the Demon Devouring Sword, knowing that he couldn't manipulate it freely, he immediately swung his sword and slashed towards a hill beside him, with a bang...... The hill was cut open by him with a sword like tofu.
"The power of the earth elemental is really powerful, one sword opens the mountain and cracks the stone!" Xia Jiang looked at the Demon Devouring Sword in his hand in disbelief, thinking back to the perception of this day and night, he already knew that this was the Demon Devouring Sword absorbing the power of the earth.
This is the real [Demon Addiction] stage, the power of the Demon Devouring Sword against a qiē external thing is in a state of hunger and thirst, mainly depends on whether he can communicate the power of all things in nature, and the power will also depend on his deep understanding.
At this time, he also deeply understood why he was able to enter this [Demon Addiction] stage, it was completely because after climbing the Snow Mountain that day, he was invaded by endless cold qi, and from it he felt the flow of cold qi, put himself to death and came back to life, and by mistake, he mastered the power of communicating ice cold, making the Demon Devouring Sword exert its powerful power for the first time.
His thoughts quickly returned to his eyes, and then looking at his sword, Xia Jiang felt extremely happy.
"Since any element can be absorbed into the power of the Demon Devouring Sword, shouldn't we give each state a name, wouldn't it be faster to cast it?" Xia Jiang suddenly remembered, this is actually a meditation technique, through the name of guò, so that the brain can enter the state as quickly as possible.
After thinking about it, Xia Jiang looked at the ground under his feet, and said with a flash of inspiration: "It's called ...... Demon Devourer's [Earth Slash]!" Originally, he still wanted to directly add the word "Demon Devourer", but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not quaint enough, and the word "Demon Devourer" was originally the soul of his qiē move, so there was no need to add it to the name.
[Whirlwind Slash]: Whirlwind Spike, Link, Whirlwind Devourer
[Demon Devouring Slash Series]: Sky Breaking Slash, Ice Slash, Earth Slash
After thinking about it, Xia Jiang found that he had only used these two moves so far, and the others were nothing more than changing the direction of these two moves, such as the "Sky Breaking Sword" was the fastest and most practical Demon Devouring Slash, mainly taking advantage of the geographical conditions to exert the power of Demon Devouring in the shortest possible time, attacking and defending the enemy at almost a qiē angle, and the Whirlwind Slash's Whirlwind Spur and Whirlwind Devouring Slash were launched on the ground and the other in mid-air.
However, although he knows that he has few moves, he is very pleased, because no matter which move, there is a huge space for creation, and he can continue to learn through guò, strengthen these moves, and create more changes.
After experiencing the tremendous power of the Earth Slash, Xia Jiang attacked several times in a row again, and gradually mastered the Demon Devouring Sword in the state of the earth, and was no longer unable to control it, until he was completely accustomed to the weight, Xia Jiang stopped and withdrew the Demon Devouring Sword that had consumed most of his power.
Quickly going out to the Wanbao Pavilion, Xia Jiang brought back the materials and magic weapons that the old blacksmith had prepared for him as usual, and immediately began to cultivate, but this time he was no longer cultivating the first grade, but the more advanced second grade. Now, his bloodline fit has been compressed to "one", and his cultivation is not considered a monk's level for the time being, but his strength has already reached the monk's level, and now for him, the super-first-grade magic weapon is no longer interesting, and refining it will not improve his cultivation much, and he must cultivate a more advanced magic weapon.
Last time I was in the auction house, I heard someone say that a refiner who can refine a superb-quality magic weapon is more profitable to refine a higher-grade magic weapon, and now is the right time.
Getting ready, Xia Jiang immediately began to cultivate, and this time, time was like flowing water, and it was the end of the month in a blink of an eye.
Even if his father hasn't left the customs yet, Xia Jiang won't stay at home at the end of this month, he will at least have to look for Xia Yun'er - more than ten days have passed, and he has not received any news from Xia Yun'er, although he is refining weapons these days, but there is no news from the other party, he always feels that something is missing in his heart.
Early the next morning, Xia Jiang rode on a white horse and went straight to the inner palace to cultivate.
As a few months ago, when he came to the outside of the training ground, he saw a large number of subordinates guarding their mounts, and today he came earlier than usual, but he was still like this, obviously because many concubines had also come, and some of them who had not usually seen each other were now in a hurry to meet them.
Entering the cultivation, Xia Jiang swept his eyes, except for the different clothes, most of them were familiar faces, only a few children around ten years old had not seen it, it should be the little prince and princess who had just passed the bloodline fit, and was approved to enter here.
And among these people, to Xia Jiang's great surprise, he almost saw at a glance the person he wanted to see most these days, Xia Yun'er.
Xia Jiang couldn't believe it, let her face the great master of the cultivator alone that day, he had been very uneasy, and went back immediately after solving the masked man in white, but there was no trace of him, although he checked carefully and made sure that the other party should leave safely, but he was still worried when he didn't see anyone, he didn't expect her to really leave safely, and, as if nothing had happened, he returned to the palace.
Thinking of this, Xia Jiang couldn't help but think of the trip to the Snow Mountain that day, he encountered assassins several times, and each of them wanted to kill him, and he still hasn't figured out who is behind the scenes!
Sweeping around, the second prince Xia Lei came, but the third prince Xia Huo had not yet come.
"Wow, Brother Nine, Brother Nine, you're here!" Just as Xia Jiang continued to look around, a somewhat naughty voice came to his ears, the fifteenth princess.
Turning his head, he saw a fifteenth princess dressed like a big little lazy cat, running over with a round face, and actually grabbed Xia Jiang's arm and checked it vigorously, just like seeing a rare animal.
Seeing this little princess, Xia Jiang was a little helpless, and she didn't know how she fell in love with herself so much, and she regarded herself as an old acquaintance after only seeing her once.
However, before Xia Jiang could say a few words of greeting, he saw that following the arrival of this fifteenth princess, a face with a completely different temperament came into view, and it was the third prince Xia Huo.
Compared with three months ago, Xia Huo, who appeared in front of him at this moment, was already a judgment of the two, if it weren't for Xia Jiang, he was always thinking about this person, maybe he would have mistaken the other party.
However, in contrast, after seeing Xia Jiang, Xia Huo's reaction was even more violent, almost staring at Xia Jiang, as if he didn't believe that the person in front of him would be Xia Jiang, but it didn't last long, his expression changed, and he smiled as if he finally recognized Xia Jiang.
"Is it the ninth brother, I won't see you in March, I can't even recognize the third brother!" Xia Huo looked at Xia Jiang with a smile and said.
Seeing this, Xia Jiang should have asked some things tentatively, but now that there are many people, he only smiled faintly and said: "Each other, I haven't seen each other for a few months, it seems that the third brother has been cultivating by leaps and bounds, and his temperament is like two people." ”
However, hearing Xia Jiang praise him like this, Xia Huo's face suddenly twitched slightly, and he restrained a smile and said: "Ninth brother, you are worthy of being a genius in the sky, and your third brother has made such a little progress, and it has fallen into your eyes without leakage, you are so powerful......"
"Yes, I haven't seen you in March, has the ninth brother already broken through to the monk? That's really my Xia Guo's great luck!" Before Xia Jiang could speak again, Xia Lei came over at this time.
Seeing that it was Xia Lei, Xia Jiang's expression suddenly returned to normal, but when he looked at it, he was secretly shocked, he found that compared to this Xia Huo who judged the two of them, this Xia Lei was even more terrifying, and he had only been seen for three months, and he who felt that the blood fit was only "nine" at the beginning, but now he doesn't know how much, at least now he has the strength of an absolute monk, and he looks at the other party is a bottomless pit, and he can't see through it at all.
If his guess is right, the few killers he met on the snow mountain at the beginning are estimated to have a bloodline fit of about fifteen, and that kind of cultivation is not as mysterious as the current Xia Lei.
