Time passed day by day, Ling Qingyun gradually adapted to the extremely pure cultivation life in the stone hall day and night, without water and rice, he didn't know how long he had been in the hall, according to the law of life and the number of sleep, it was roughly estimated that about ten days had passed, less than half of the month period, but he had lived an extraordinarily fulfilling life in these ten days.

Ling Qingyun, who was immersed in studying runes, did not feel so bored by the habit of reading books guided by wordless books, but almost delayed his cultivation because of this—even so, his cultivation path was extremely smooth, and he had returned to the Thousand Forging Sevenfold before he fell asleep last time, and most of the meridian wounds had been repaired, presumably a month would be enough for it to fully recover.

In the past few days, Ling Qingyun's rune realm can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds, he will learn three to five rune arrays every day, and practice the rune mastery he has mastered in the past, among which the smoothest progress is tempering the runes, Ling Qingyun has been able to outline them in a moment. This rune Ling Qingyun was used during cultivation, and after refining it, Ling Qingyun had increased by a small half compared to the previous Thousand Forging Sevenfold Strength - don't underestimate this small half percent, this is only the result of ten days! In addition to being more tired, there is no need for Ling Qingyun to pay any other price.

In addition, Ling Qingyun also found two other runes that were quite useful to him, one was similar to the Shenxing rune, which made the human body as light as a swallow and greatly increased in speed, and was named the light body rune, and the other could strengthen the defense of the body surface by controlling flesh and blood, and was named the rigid body rune.

"In fact, many rune effects can be achieved with martial arts, or even better, but martial arts must be supported by true qi or physical body, runes require less for this, and they complement each other well!" As he became more familiar with the way of runes, Ling Qingyun gave a pertinent evaluation: " In any case, the way in which the rune borrows power from heaven and earth is already close to Linghua's perception, only its subtlety, the rune has declined, it is precisely because this way has too high requirements for mental strength and will, and it is necessary to have enough understanding of words, but this is perfect for me!"

"With rune cultivation, my combat methods will be more abundant, and I can also use this to exercise my spirit and understand in advance the realm where the spiritual realm powerhouse controls the power of heaven and earth, but the price is to consume a lot of mental energy, but I don't know if I will be able to touch the class in the end when I embark on this path, or will it affect my cultivation due to half-heartedness?" Ling Qingyun muttered to himself, this is a problem that has plagued him for more than ten days, of course parallel cultivation is powerful, but if he doesn't grasp the balance well, it is very likely that he will achieve nothing, he has been pursuing martial arts for ten years, and now a new path is appearing in front of him, although it is fascinating, it may also be a trap set by fate.

"According to what the predecessors of Mingyue Jushi said, I have a relationship here, which may be good. Staring at the runes on the stone wall, Ling Qingyun couldn't help but think: "The way of runes is so in line with me, and the charm in it is also infinite, if you give up here, it may be beneficial to concentrate on martial cultivation, but it is a pity!"

"When the road of Tianjiao is unstoppable, it will not change after making a choice!" A famous sentence suddenly sounded in Ling Qingyun's ears, he chewed this kind of words carefully, and finally smiled: "Then go all the way to the dark!"

The young man, who had untied the knot in his heart and felt refreshed, turned his gaze to the stone wall again, this one had one hundred and forty-two runes, and after he memorized it by heart, it was like a raging flame.

"Hmm, this rune can actually attract the fire element, it is a good auxiliary means for fire cultivators, and if you want to make fire in the future, it may also come in handy, but the mental burden seems to be not small, and it is close to the god rune!" Ling Qingyun's heart moved, he had been much more clever in the past few days, and he no longer memorized and used all the runes, but first judged the effect of the array based on the structure and arrangement of the runes, and only picked the useful ones for memory learning, because he had found that there were too many runes in this stone hall, if he learned them all, he was afraid that one month would not be enough for him to finish the runes, not to mention the other three runes!

"This rune is actually used to transform the human body, it seems to be able to refine a pair of iron claws, but it is not suitable for me at all. ”

"This rune is interesting, it actually has the effect of cooling and dissipating heat, and it should be quite suitable in the desert and the scorching heat. ”

"Condensation, sharpness, protrusion, ge...... This rune seems to be able to refine true qi and make it sharp?" Ling Qingyun's eyes lit up when he finally saw a rune that might be useful, and he immediately studied and cultivated, and when the rune took effect, he looked at the golden mangs at his fingertips but sighed helplessly: "Xu is that my true qi is sharp enough, and with the refining ability of this rune, it can't have the slightest effect." ”

Putting aside his ribs, Ling Qingyun continued to look for practical runes, all kinds of runes were as vast as the Treasure Pavilion Martial Technique, but the difficulty of reading was far greater than that of the Martial Technique and there was no use for introduction, thinking of finding the favorite rune here was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, the effects and modes of action of various runes opened his eyes: those who stimulate acupuncture points like acupuncture to keep people awake, those who absorb elemental power to condense armor, those who use the human body as a vessel to form energy, and those who are like complex formations that are interlocking and closely fit...... It's a university question, and while a single part of it may not be directly useful, it is instructive.

Around the thirteenth day, Ling Qingyun finally finished browsing the body runes, reading and judging them all except the last batch of runes that were so complicated that he was dizzy, and noted down fifty-eight of them, and became familiar with six of them, in the process he suddenly had a whim.

"Can rune arrays of the same type be used together, will they repel each other, or can they produce the effect that one plus one is greater than two?" Ling Qingyun, who was excited by this idea, immediately deduced it with a wordless book, trying to splic, insert, and fuse different arrays from various angles, and chose the one that seemed to be the most perfect to try—and then his face turned pale, and he was about to spurt out a mouthful of blood.

"Ahem...... Try the next one. The temporary failure did not discourage the young man, and soon he paid the price for his attempt again, the tearing pain from his abdomen and chest was even worse than fighting with fierce beasts, the pain made Ling Qingyun's face turn blue but he was unwilling to fail, and he supported ten breaths Seeing that there was no improvement, Fang sighed and gave up, this time the injury made him take advantage of the Bright Moon Spirit Gathering Array to breathe for half an hour before he got better.

Despite the hardships, Ling Qingyun was still unwilling to give up, and took advantage of the Bright Moon Gathering Spirit Array to endure the pain of spirit and body over and over again, and finally saw a new rune array condensed on the surface of the body, and the qi, blood and true qi were mobilized to consolidate the place that needed to be guarded as solid as a rock, and a layer of pale cyan light appeared on the surface of the body, although it was as thin as paper, it was a lot more reassuring.

This is a combination of rigid body runes and armor light runes, one strengthens the physical defense, and the other forms a barrier against impact and energy on the surface of the body, at this time, the two runes that act on the inside and outside of the body are connected to each other, and they are integrated, but the defense effect is more than one step stronger than simply using the two runes together, and the consumption of true qi is also greatly reduced.

Ling Qingyun was stunned for a moment by the hard-won success, and then he smiled and tested his defensive ability with the fingertips of the floating golden true qi, the double defense rune was like a light shield for its creator to transfer to the arm at will, and the fingertips that were much sharper than ordinary daggers swiped lightly, causing ripples on the light shield, but only a shallow white mark was left on the arm, no different from an ordinary nail scratch.

"With this rune, I'm like a tiger!" Rao is calm Ling Qingyun couldn't help laughing when he saw this, as a young Tianjiao, his biggest advantage is that the sword edge is sharp, he can cut opponents who are stronger than his own realm, and even the golden body realm can be injured, but his defensive ability is far from being comparable to the attack power, there is often a situation where he can kill the opponent with a sword, but it is also possible to be killed by the opponent with one blow, in terms of attack, he is already at the same level as strong as he can't be repeated, if you want to become stronger, you naturally have to work defense, and now he has undoubtedly seen the dawn of hope!

Now, after he fused the two defensive runes, it was equivalent to having an extra piece of close-fitting armor that had no weight and did not affect the flexibility, and his ability to save his life in the face of the same danger would naturally be greatly increased.

"If we continue to fuse......" Thinking of that scene, Ling Qingyun's heart became hot, there were three other practical defensive runes that he had mastered, and only two fusions would produce a defense comparable to the Stone Spirit Realm, if five fusions ......

At that time, his fatal flaw will truly be remedied, and he will have a defensive ability that is not weaker than an attack while the blade of the sword is unstoppable, and on this basis, Lin Qiancheng's strange power, Fan Huangwu's flames, and other dangers can be calmly dealt with!

"It seems that I didn't choose this wrong path!" clenched his fists excitedly, Ling Qingyun had already seen a dazzling avenue spread out in front of him, heading straight for the infinite future.

......

"It's time to take a look at the other runes. ”

Although the enthusiasm in his heart urged Ling Qingyun to continue to try to fuse runes, he understood that the difficulty of triple fusion was obviously much greater than that of double fusion, and he didn't know how much time it would take to succeed, compared to it, it was more important to browse at least one of the other runes, and it would not be a problem for the runes that he had memorized to fuse when he wanted, and it would be difficult for the runes he had never seen to meet again after he walked out of the stone hall.

So Ling Qingyun walked under the wall with the most runes and looked up to observe.

Compared with the body rune, the biggest difference between the god rune is that the spiritual power needs to be exerted outside the body, which requires higher spiritual power, and the corresponding function is more comprehensive than the body rune, which can condense fireballs, wind blades, and ice picks like elemental magic, and can also take objects from the air, create a force field, oscillate into sounds, and absorb vitality, which can be described as all-inclusive, and can be called the main body of the rune cultivation system.

"Shhh...... This rune deserves the name of thunder, and once it is exerted, it is not much worse than the Thunder Knife. ”

"What a weird rune, why is it used to generate strong suction, does it have to form a dragon to absorb water?"

"This rune seems to be usable, if combined with a defensive rune...... It's just that its consumption of spiritual power is really not small, and it is even more exaggerated than my fusion rune!"

Ling Qingyun was dazzled by the miraculous effects of all kinds of complex runes, and he was extremely impressed by the rune system in his heart, but he had no choice but to learn them one by one with his own energy, so he had to hurriedly scan the overall and select the study he was most interested in, and then he began to explore the runes.

The area occupied by the rune is similar to that of the body rune, and it is also the most well-preserved and widely used today, and its effect ranges from strengthening hardness, reducing weight to concentrating energy to detonate a variety of things, but the mode of action is engraved on the artifact, although the use does not require the consumption of spiritual power, but as a medium to replace spiritual power, it requires gold powder, cinnabar and even more precious materials to take effect. Ling Qingyun only chose two of them, the effects were to enhance the strength of the weapon and facilitate the circulation of true qi, there were many master runes on the Qinghe Continent, and he didn't plan to invest too much energy in handing over the inscription runes to the experts.

In the end, all that was left was the most mysterious and complex spirit rune, which Ling Qingyun had been looking forward to for a long time, so he had raised his spirit to show his respect before observing, and when he finally looked up, he was directly shocked!
