Chapter 12: Retreat
"Jiayi, why are you here?"
At the Valoka Chamber of Commerce, Eunice was pleasantly surprised to see Jiayi.
"I heard that you left the academy a long time ago, and I thought you didn't come to the imperial capital. ”
She didn't know that Kaichi hadn't come by land instead of an airship, and she hadn't seen him until she thought he had gone some other way.
Because Jia Yi has never broken through to become a white-robed mage, Eunice and the others take care of his emotions, Jia Yi himself didn't say it, and they didn't take the initiative to ask, so she only knew that Jia Yi would go home first, but the specific route was not clear.
Sometimes too much concern is not actually comforting, but can be stressful, and Eunice, as a brilliant businessman, has a good grasp of this.
Jia Yi was still holding Xiaoqing in his hand, he patted Xiaoqing's bull head with his hand and said, "I came by land on Xiaoqing, it is inconvenient for Xiaoqing to take an airship, and I also want to walk around." ”
Eunice looked haggard on Jia's face, not like a mage, but an ordinary person who had traveled for a long time, and said with some distress: "How did you do this, it's much harder to walk down, haven't you walked down there? What are you doing on the other side." Xiaoqing, you can bring the airship with you for a little more money. ”
The first time Jia Yi went to the academy, he also took the land route below, but when he went, he took the old road before there was no airship, and now the road he took when he came was wilderness, and there are still some differences. If it weren't for the fact that he had a compass and never changed his direction, he would never have been able to come to the imperial capital so quickly this time, and he didn't know where he would go.
Eunice thought that Jia Yi was depressed because he was watching others break through and he didn't break through, so she went down to relax, she originally thought that Jia Yi went down although it was hard, but as long as the mood could relax, it was good, but I didn't expect to see Jia Yi's appearance now, but it looked even weaker, not at all like the appearance after relaxation.
I want comfort, but I don't know how to say it.
Jia Yi did feel a little tired now, and he didn't see Eunice's worries, he said: "Eunice, you prepare a quiet room for me, don't let people disturb me, I want to retreat for a period of time and cultivate in peace." By the way, help me settle Xiaoqing. ”
As he spoke, he handed Xiaoqing to his subordinates to take him down, and then he and Eunice entered the room inside, and he took out the remaining elven straw from the storage bracelet and put it on the ground, piling up a large haystack.
"Jiayi, what is this for?" Eunice looked at the large pile of hay, and there was almost no place to stay, and hurriedly took a few steps back.
Jia Yi pointed to the haystack at his feet and said, "This is the elf straw, Xiaoqing's rations, you give less every time, now there are only so many, there will be no more after eating, if you can feed it some wine after feeding, Xiaoqing will like it." ”
Although it is also possible to transport some elven straw from the academy in the imperial capital, Jia Yi is not ready to feed Xiaoqing all the time, and is ready to give him "food shortage".
The amount of these hay is actually not much, but if you save a little feeding, you can hold on to it for at least ten days and half a month, and when Eunice heard Jiayi's words, he didn't care about these elf straws, and hurriedly asked:
"Are you going to retreat for a long time? Actually, don't worry, everyone knows that it is not easy to break through to become a white-robed mage, our Chamber of Commerce has recruited so many mages, and none of them can break through to the white-robe. ”
Saying that, Eunice suddenly stopped talking, which didn't seem to be a good example, as if cursing Kaichi for never being able to break through.
Jia Yi looked at Eunice with a little banter, and didn't say that he had broken through to become a white-robed mage, with a little bad taste, he wanted to wait for himself to be stable before talking about his breakthrough, so as to scare them when the time came.
Now he just wants to find a stable place to stabilize his realm first, his magic power has not yet been full, and the efficiency of meditation cannot keep up with his realm, so now he feels a little uncomfortable, as if he is a little dissatisfied, and he can't scratch his itch.
Eunice helped Jiayi prepare the quiet room, and watched Jiayi walk in, there was still lingering worry in her eyes, she was a little afraid that Jiayi would hurt herself if she tried too hard, especially after hearing about Im, she had lingering worries about breaking through the white-robed mage.
It's really that Jiayi's current state doesn't look good, Jiayi's eyes are withered now, his face is haggard, he seems to have experienced a lot of wind and frost, and even his hair is a little dry, and there are eye feces in the corners of his eyes, and he doesn't seem to have washed his face.
Eunice knows Jiayi, and Jiayi will definitely wash his face and brush his teeth first when he gets up in the morning, and he will never eat without brushing his teeth.
Jia Yi did not wash his face in the morning, but he brushed his teeth, his current appearance is completely because he has just broken through, so he looks a little weak, and it has nothing to do with the long journey, Jia Yi is quite moisturized on the road.
In Eunice's eyes, it's all about thinking too much and exhausting.
Jiayi's retreat lasted for eleven or twelve days before he finally straightened out the magic in his body and adjusted his meditation methods to improve his meditation efficiency.
His original meditation method used the siphon principle to allow the magic power from the outside world to automatically flow into his spiritual sea, which was equivalent to cultivating anytime and anywhere.
After his adjustment, there are now two vortices in the spiritual sea, the siphon effect is stronger, which is equivalent to doubling the suction, plus the increase of spiritual power, the suction power is doubled, and then now the magic power of his body communicates with the spiritual sea, and now even the skin on his body can absorb the magic power, originally the magic power in his body was absorbed through the pores of the skin, but now it has also become automatic absorption.
Now, as the magic vortex in his spiritual sea rotates, the magic power in his body will run around him, and at the same time, the magic elements will be absorbed from the spiritual sea around his body pores and brain, and at the same time, with his breathing, the magic vortex in his spiritual sea will expand and contract in a circle, like a heartbeat, pump the absorption of magic power, and enhance the absorption speed of magic elements.
This is still not the passive effect of active meditation, if he actively meditates, the meditation effect can be increased by more than ten times, even if it is a passive effect, now there is half the effect of active meditation of mages of the same level, mainly because the skin of the body can also absorb magic elements, and the magic absorption area has increased dozens of times.
And he now has a feeling that his skin can now breathe, even in the water, he can no longer use the bubble head technique to maintain oxygen, and he can exchange oxygen in the water through his skin.
But without testing, he couldn't be sure if his hunch was true.
And now the magic power of his whole body has been compressed and refined by the spiritual sea, and now his magic power refining degree is far beyond that of ordinary mages of the same level, and he is more comfortable to operate, with his powerful spiritual power, the spell release distance is at least three times the distance of others, this is because it is more convenient for the other party to dodge farther away, not because he can't hit a farther distance.
Originally, although Tai Chi connected magic into the body, it didn't have much effect, but now after connecting the spiritual sea, it is different, adding more effects, not only is the body stronger, but he can enhance his physical fitness through magic, and he can now use magic to hit people.
He can use the magic power in his body to directly bless himself with the power of the bull, swiftness and other auxiliary spells, these spells are directly blessed from the magic power in the body, from the inside out, unlike the general auxiliary spells blessed from the outside, so even the dispel spells cannot dispel this effect, unless someone can break up the magic power in Jiayi's body and directly invade the inside of Jiayi's body.
However, people with this level should not struggle, and it is more comfortable.
And now if he attacks others directly in close quarters, he can directly manifest various effects such as flames, frost and wind blades on the palm of his hand, which can be used to impersonate a martial arts master, unlike the original, his Tai Chi only has some use for kneading dough.
Jia Yi is now thinking about whether he should learn some close methods, so as not to waste his strengths, and he can also increase some of his ability to protect himself.
Although more often, Kaichi prefers to use the fireball technique to burn the other party into charcoal from afar, which is more in line with his aesthetics.
