May 12th, night.

Just like a few days ago, Shen Shi came to the beach in the middle of the night, looking at the vast sea of smoke and waves, and those waves seemed to be surging endlessly.

He watched quietly for a moment, then sat down cross-legged by the big tree, and slowly recited the trick of water archery in his mind.

Water archery is the most common first-order technique in the Five Elements Technique, and it has been circulated in the world for I don't know how many years, and the trick here has of course been tempered for thousands of years, and it is certainly impossible to find anything wrong with the realm of Shen Shi.

In fact, Shen Shi didn't have this idea at all, what he was thinking in his heart was a thought that had been confusing him and quietly tempting him since last night.

From the very beginning, the method of water archery is to go deep into the qi veins of the whole body to urge and gather spiritual power, only after the monk reaches the level of the Ning Yuan Realm, the method has a second way of traveling, that is, only go to the Yufu Qi Sea to extract spiritual power, at that time, it is naturally extremely simple, but the Qi Refining Realm monk does not think it is possible.

Shen Shi had been using the first method since he was practicing the Water Archery Technique, but at this moment, after a few slightly rapid breaths faintly revealing the apprehension in his heart, he finally gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and began to slowly run the Water Archery Technique.

The second is a method that can only be used by Ning Yuan Realm monks......

No one had ever used this kind of magic technique when he was refining the Qi Realm, because the Qi Refining Realm cultivator didn't have a jade mansion at all, so where did he go to gather spiritual power?But Shen Shi began to practice like this, the difference was that he changed the direction of the magic technique, and the place where the spiritual power was extracted went straight to his head, at the mysterious eyebrow acupoint.

The spiritual power scattered in the qi veins around his body did not seem to be disturbed in the slightest, and was lazily scattered in place as usual, and Shen Shi's mind also completely fell on the center of his eyebrows, when the magic of the water archery technique had arrived in a blink of an eye, he suddenly felt a slight pain in his eyebrows, and the spiritual power hidden here actually trembled.

This was the first time that the spiritual power at the center of his eyebrows had been abnormal since he started to cultivate the Heart Purification Mantra!

Shen Shi was surprised, happy, and a little uneasy, but he persevered after all, trying to see if his bold attempt would bear fruit.

Sure enough, under the influence of the Water Arrow Technique trying to extract the spiritual power of the eyebrows, the spiritual power at the center of the eyebrows, which was originally unmoving, seemed to stir up all of a sudden, and the spiritual power here was far more condensed than the spiritual power in the surrounding qi veins, to be honest, it really looked a bit like the appearance of the Jade Mansion Qi Sea opened up by the monks of the Ning Yuan Realm.

The spiritual power at the center of his eyebrows moved more and more, but Shen Shi did not feel any other discomfort after the initial pain, which also made him gradually feel at ease, and he tried to extract his eyebrow spiritual power more boldly.

After about five to six breaths, suddenly he only felt that his brain suddenly loosened, and a spiritual power was finally extracted from the center of his eyebrows, and then instantly like a galloping horse, he suddenly crossed the sky, went down to his chest, went straight into the qi veins of his right hand, and rushed to the palm, all of which was as fast as lightning, but after a while, he felt that his palm was cold, and when he opened his eyes again, a beam of crystal water had appeared in his eyes and palms.

Five breaths, or six breaths?

Shen Shi stared at this stream of water, all his body and mind seemed to have been occupied by joy and joy, and with a wave of his palm, this stream of water broke through the air, as if it was yesterday, unstoppably hitting a sandy ground, only to hear a boom, and a big black hole was blown out.

Shen Shi slowly stood up, walked to the black hole, stared deeply, and a smile hung on his lips.

※※※

Seven days later, on May 19.

On this day, Shen Shi got up early as usual and walked out of the cave, greeted him with blue sky and white clouds, and the sea and blue waves. He stood on the side of the road and looked at the sea, waited for a while, and sure enough, as expected, the stone door of the cave next door also opened, and Sun You yawned and walked out.

Shen Shi looked at him and smiled, "What's the matter, I practiced all night last night?"

Sun You pursed his lips and said, "It's not that exaggerated, anyway, the spiritual power I have cultivated is just that, and if I practice it once or twice, it will reach the sky." ”

Shen Shi said: "How are you practicing?"

Sun You sighed and said, "After practicing for half a month, the fireball has condensed, but the previous step of gathering spirits is really troublesome, and it will take me half a day every time, and it seems that I will have to wait for a while to hunt demons." ”

Shen Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I want to try it in the next two days." ”

Sun You was stunned, turned his head to look at him, and said in amazement, "What?"

Shen Shi shrugged his shoulders, Sun You frowned and said: "Don't mess around, this matter of hunting demons is risky, I heard my uncle say that although there is a garrison senior brother on duty, there have been fellow disciples who have been injured on that island over the years, and even injured Dao Xing, and their lives are in danger." Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and when he looked at Shen Shi again, his eyes were already a little surprised, and said,

"Could it be that the water archery technique you practiced can already be cast at ten breaths?"

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Almost." ”

Sun You's mouth opened wide, and he said after a while: "I can't see that you actually have such a talent in this Five Elements Technique......

Shen Shi shook his head and said with a smile: "That's it, and Qingyu Island is in the middle of the sea, and the water vapor is particularly abundant, which is also of great help to me." ”

Sun You suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Yes, why didn't I think of this, and I was stupid to choose a fireball technique, I would have known that I would also choose a water archery technique." ”

Shen Shi said with a smile: "You don't have to regret it, six or seven out of ten of the techniques in the world are all fireball techniques, naturally there is a reason, this technique is the most widely used, and the power is also the strongest among the first-order spells, and when you finish cultivating, it will naturally be beneficial." By the way, are you going to come with me?"

Sun You hesitated, but still shook his head and said: "My fireball technique is still very early from cultivation, I really want to go over to hunt demons, I'm afraid it will become a burden to you, so you should go first, but remember to be careful, the demon beasts on the island are all murderous and inhumane, and there is no need to be injured for a little spirit crystal." ”

Shen Shi nodded and said, "I know." ”

Sun You smiled and turned to leave, Shen Shi had made great progress in the cultivation of the Five Elements Technique, which really surprised him, but as Shen Shi himself said, in fact, this matter was like this. No matter how high the talent of the Five Elements Technique is, the achievements in the future will be like that, in the final analysis, if the most important foundation for a monk today is to start cultivating all kinds of Dao magic powers after arriving in the Ning Yuan Realm, that is the foundation, so Sun You does not have any sense of urgency at all.

Shen Shi walked side by side with him and didn't say anything more, in fact, there were some things he naturally hid in his heart, and he really couldn't say anything to outsiders. Since his first successful attempt to cast a water arrow with the spiritual power at the center of his eyebrows seven days ago, he has been stepping up his practice of this unexpected gain in the dead of night every day. After these seven days of cultivation, the speed at which he cast spells became faster and faster, and in the end, even he himself was startled, and he was already able to cast a water arrow technique in just three breaths.

Three-breath spellcasting, what kind of result is this?

You must know that even if it is a monk of the Ning Yuan Realm who has opened up the Jade Mansion, the fastest speed of casting spells is almost three breaths, and this is still a monk with good talent, generally speaking, even if a monk of the Ning Yuan Realm casts the Five Elements Spell, it is mostly in the time of four breaths.

And Shen Shi was now just a small cultivator in the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Sometimes, Shen Shi himself couldn't help but think, could this mysterious and weird eyebrow spiritual power really be like a jade mansion qi sea?

If it weren't for that, how could he draw spiritual power from it and cast the Five Elements Spell so fast?

It's just that everyone in the world, all the monks under the ten thousand years, know that there is no possibility of opening up the Jade Mansion Qi Sea without the Ning Yuan Realm, and this truth that has been proved by countless facts is absolutely wrong, so Shen Shi can only attribute it to the magical heart purification mantra sealed with the seven-leaf golden sunflower pattern.

Anyway, at the moment, this Pure Heart Mantra is really a very magical mantra.

When they arrived at the herring fish market, Sun You and Shen Shi separated, and Shen Shi went straight to the White Crane Hall, where it was as lively as ever, and there were people in front of the five wooden planks. Shen Shi squeezed over, walked past the whiteboard, stopped in front of the green board for a while, looked at the crowd that had already sparsed out a lot, hesitated, and continued to walk forward a few steps.

After the green board, there is the red board.

The number of people standing in front of the red board was obviously much less than the two planks in front, and at a glance, there were only more than ten people standing here, and without exception, they all looked at young people in their twenties, obviously the senior brothers who had entered the Lingxiao Sect in the last round.

Hearing the footsteps and coming to the red board, several people turned their heads to look, but after seeing Shen Shi, those people's eyes showed a little surprise. If it is said that when the newcomers first came to the island three years ago, many teenagers were curious and would run to the back of a few planks to take a look, but after three years, everyone has long been familiar with the rules, and it is generally rare to see newcomers come to the red board, after all, the task of reaching the level of the red board is generally very difficult, and it is often necessary to at least have a high-level disciple of the Qi refining realm to have the strength to do it.

However, everyone was surprised and surprised, and after a few glances, they ignored it, in the final analysis, it still depends on personal cultivation on this island, and if they don't know each other, no one has the leisure to remind others that the task here is difficult to do.

Shen Shi naturally saw a little contempt in the eyes of several senior brothers, but he didn't care too much, and slowly walked to the red board and looked up at the wooden board.

The number of notes posted here is much less than that on the whiteboard, looking at it is probably less than twenty, that is, there are probably less than twenty tasks that can be pasted on the red board, Shen Shi looked for a while in it, and quickly found the task of hunting demons.

This is a piece of paper that is twice as large as the surrounding task notes, and it is quite conspicuous on the red board, and it says that the requirements are very simple, to the effect that you will go to the fifth island of the herring islands, that is, the island where the demon hunting cave is located, commonly known as the demon island, capture or kill demon beasts and yin spirits, and bring back some spiritual parts of their bodies.

The task is very simple, but there is a long line of text below the clause, which is why this piece of paper is much larger than the others. These rows of words clearly indicate the names and characteristics of various spiritual materials, what kind of demon beasts or yin spirits come from, and which hall needs them, and after getting the spiritual materials, you must go to the corresponding hall to pay and get paid.

The demon hunting task is also a very rare task in the White Crane Hall on Qingyu Island that is jointly promulgated by all the halls. Shen Shi stood in front of this note, counted carefully, and found that there were as many as fifty-five kinds of spiritual materials that could be obtained from that demon island.
