Chapter 70: Magic

This day seems to be another very ordinary day, and like the usual days on Qingyu Island, Shen Shi lives a regular or somewhat boring life step by step. I got up early in the morning, first copied a few runes of yin and yang five elements on the paper, and then went out to the red clam village, peeled shrimp for a day, chatted with the starfish, and knew that this time the red clam people went out to sea to fish and the harvest was not big, it seems that there is really something wrong with the fish in the sea near herring fish island, and the few are surprising.

In the evening, he returned to the cave and began his daily routine of two cultivations, one in the middle of which was a heart-clearing mantra, and the spiritual power gathered and condensed at the center of his eyebrows was a little thicker. Eventually, he began to practice water archery again.

The difficulty of the Five Elements Technique is indeed worthy of its reputation, and Shen Shi himself does not seem to have any outstanding talent in this way, even if he has some understanding of the Five Elements Technique because he has studied talismans since he was a child, but he still does not show any signs of being particularly fast in the progress of practicing Water Archery.

Day 2, Day 3, Day 4...... For three days in a row, he had not condensed the flow of water required by the Water Archery technique.

Practicing the Five Elements Technique in the Qi Refining Realm, the spiritual power scattered in the qi veins around the body is too difficult to gather, Shen Shi is very spiritual, but seven or eight points of his spirit are spent on this, and when he finally gathers enough spiritual power, he is almost tired and half dead, and then he wants to sense the spiritual power of the surrounding water system to stimulate the water archery technique, it is already a little powerless.

But fortunately, after all, he is on Qingyu Island on the shore of the sea, and there is nothing else here, that is, there is an endless amount of water, and the water vapor is even more overwhelming, so in the past few days, Shen Shi still saw a ray of light, and he felt that he was not far from successfully condensing the water flow and then turning into water arrows.

On the fifth day, that is, on the 11th day of May, after completing all the homework of the day, Shen Shi rested for a while and began to practice water archery again.

Opening the stone gate with the cloud charm, he still came to the beach as he had done for the previous days, and in the middle of the night, the night of Baiyu Bay was beautiful and quiet, and the broken clouds above the sky obscured a few stars, and the semi-circular moon passed between the clouds, gilding the edges of the clouds with a layer of white brilliance.

The beach was still silent, save for the occasional chirping of insects in the grass under the tall trees that grew on the sand. Shen Shi stood on the beach and glanced around, only to see that in the empty bay, under the night, he was the only one.

When the sea breeze blew, he took a deep breath, then walked to the position he had fixed for the past few days, sat down cross-legged by the same big tree, adjusted his breathing, calmed down, and then began to gather the spiritual power in the qi veins in his body.

This process was as difficult as usual, those scattered spiritual powers were lazy and rebellious, and they seemed to be reluctant to obey his command, which also made Shen Shi, like countless monks who had gone through this stage, extremely look forward to the day when he could cultivate to the Ning Yuan Realm in the future, and after opening up the Yufu Qi Sea, all the qi veins around his body would gather in one place, and he would obey the instructions of his master extremely obediently.

After a cup of tea, Shen Shi finally gathered enough spiritual power, according to his own estimates, this spiritual power alone would account for almost one-third of all the spiritual power he had cultivated so far, that is to say, even if he succeeded in cultivating water archery tonight, or if the spiritual power in his body suddenly obeyed his command extremely obediently from today, he could only cast water archery at most three times in a battle.

But now is of course not the time to think about these things too much, Shen Shi, who has gathered enough spiritual power, is happy in his heart, and he seems to be a little faster than yesterday, it seems that practicing these five elements magic every day will slowly improve after all. Practice makes perfect, and it's right to put it anywhere.

Next, Shen Shi began to feel the spiritual power around him wholeheartedly, slowly stimulated by the magic of water archery, in the abundant water vapor above the sea, his palms slowly spread out in the air, his fingers trembled slightly, and an invisible force seemed to condense from the air and wrap around him.

A moment later, as if a voice was whispering in an unknown place, a white light suddenly flashed, soft and transparent, clear and crystalline, and a stream of water appeared in the palm of his hand.

The corners of Shen Shi's mouth showed a little smile, and he opened his eyes happily to see that it was a stream of water that was a foot long, which looked no different from ordinary water, and at this moment it seemed to be restrained and trapped by an invisible force, forming a one-foot-long thumb-thick stream of water, which he held on the palm of his hand.

As soon as he raised his head, the palm of his hand was urged, and under the urging of spiritual power, this originally crystal clear water flow suddenly condensed a lot, and instantly burst out of the air, hitting the trunk of another big tree five feet away.

Hearing a muffled "poof", the whole tree shook violently, sawdust scattered, and a fist-sized round hole appeared in the trunk.

Shen Shi got up and walked to the edge of the big tree, looked at the round hole carefully for a while, and nodded with satisfaction after a while, this kind of power should be good, even if it is useless to high-level monks with strong physical bodies, but mortals can no longer resist it, even some small demons and ordinary yin spirits, under the power of such water archery, it should be difficult to support.

After practicing for five days, he finally succeeded in casting the water archery technique for the first time, although the word success is actually still a little watery, not to mention anything else, the spell casting time alone is outrageous, and it still needs to be cultivated for a long time, but Rao is so, Shen Shi still feels very pleased.

This is the first spell he has mastered in his life, and it is also the first power he has mastered after cultivating, young man, who doesn't have a heart that yearns to be strong?

Excited and excited, he sat down again, trying to try his hand at water archery again. Only this time his good luck seemed to have been completely exhausted, and the farther the qi veins in his body were from the right hand where he cast the spell, the more those scattered spiritual powers disobeyed the command, and every time he drove was more laborious than before.

One tea time has passed, two teas, half an hour, an hour...... The night shrouded Baiyu Bay, the moon in the sky quietly hid in the clouds, the darkness shrouded the four fields, and Shen Shi seemed to have turned into a black shadow of nothingness.

Suddenly, his body trembled violently, as if he was finally exhausted, and he leaned to the side weakly, and the whole person lay down on the beach, panting heavily, with a look of helplessness and loss.

This second time of water archery cultivation, finally failed, the spiritual power in those bodies was too difficult to gather, such a long time of urging also exhausted Shen Shi's mental and physical strength, now it is like a puppy out of strength, only the strength to breathe.

"When will I have to practice this to reach the realm of ten breaths?" Shen Shi smiled bitterly in his heart and shook his head.

Generally speaking, cultivating a Five Elements Technique in the Qi Refining Realm, gathering spiritual power and successfully casting a spell is actually just a beginning, and what really means that it is a sign of complete cultivation success is that the monk must cast this spell at least within ten breaths.

Ten breaths, which means the time for ordinary people to take ten breaths normally, it is so difficult for Qi Refining Realm cultivators to gather spiritual power in their bodies, one can imagine how difficult it is to meet the requirements of casting spells within ten breaths. But this can't be helped, after all, if you meet a monster and plan to fight it, then the monster will let you stand there motionless and gather a cup of tea......

It is said that after the Ning Yuan Realm, all the spiritual power in the body gathered the Qi Sea Dantian, such as the arm and the fingers, the monks at that time cast a first-order five elements spell, many times it only took three breaths and four breaths, which was so fast that it was eye-catching, or how to say that the Ning Yuan Realm was the threshold for the monks to really step on the road of cultivating immortals.

Lying on the sand, looking up at the endless night sky, wheezing, Shen Shi thought that he might have to practice the gathering time of this tea to only ten breaths, the difficulty of this, the pain of cultivation, even with his calm heart, he had a little headache and fear when he thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Since ancient times, countless monks have regarded the Five Elements Technique as a daunting path, except for the scattered cultivation of no sect and no way, the children of those famous sects rarely practice the Five Elements Technique, it is really not unreasonable, it is really a lot worse than the hard work and rewards obtained.

He slowly closed his eyes in fatigue, after this period of rest, his spirit was barely better, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart, the Five Elements Technique was so difficult and difficult to practice, it seemed that the task of catching demons seemed to be far away from him, and with his current spirit crystal consumption, he gradually felt that he couldn't keep up.

"Alas, it would be nice if I could have the strength of the Ning Yuan Realm now. Shen Shi sighed softly, if he could gather spirits as quickly as a cultivator in the Ning Yuan Realm......

His heart suddenly moved, he opened his eyes suddenly, and a hand stretched out, but it slowly fell on his forehead and eyebrows.

Why did the cultivators of the Ning Yuan Realm gather their spirits so quickly to cast spells, wasn't it because they opened up the Jade Mansion Qi Sea, and all the spiritual power around them gathered in one place, so ...... It seems that there is such a place on my body at this moment!

Although, this "place" where spiritual power is gathered seems to be a bit mysterious and weird no matter what......

It is impossible for a Qi Refining Realm cultivator to have a Jade Mansion Qi Sea, and the spiritual power absorbed into the body can only be scattered all over the Qi veins in the body, this is a well-known axiom for the human race since it has been cultivated for thousands of years, and Shen Shi is naturally convinced of this, but right now, in the past three years, he has secretly practiced the Pure Heart Mantra, but he has unexpectedly caused the same amount of spiritual power equivalent to the normal cultivation in his body to gather at the center of his eyebrows.

These spiritual powers gathered together, because of the Pure Heart Mantra, are always calm and immobile on weekdays, even if Shen Shi practices water archery to gather spiritual power in the qi veins, these spiritual powers at the center of the eyebrows are not moved at all, and they can't be pulled at all, so Shen Shi also forgot that he still has such a large amount of spiritual power.

How can we activate these spiritual powers? Otherwise, wouldn't it be all in vain after so much hard work and so many spiritual crystals have been consumed?

Shen Shi frowned and pondered silently.
