Volume 1, Born Lonely and Cold Chapter 25, Catching a Rabbit
Lei Xianzong, Xu Bing branded the "Spirit Introduction" exercise, and returned to the thatched hut on the top of the mountain with Shizun.
Along the way, Ma Yujian also had a satisfied smile on his face, and he liked the disciple in front of him even more.
After returning to the hut, Ma Yujian only gave a few instructions to Xu Bing, and gave him two spirit stones, so that he could reach the mortal realm as soon as possible, and he left directly.
After the master left, Xu Bing looked at the few crystal clear stones in his hand, and secretly said in his heart, this is the spiritual stone used by the monk to practice, and it seems that it is not as valuable as the ordinary jade. But just thinking about it, he understood that these small spirit stones were many times more precious than the mortal jade.
Without thinking too much, Xu Bing sat down cross-legged on the bed in the room, took a spirit stone in his hand, closed his eyes, and absorbed the spiritual power in the spirit stone according to the method described in this spirit introduction. But after trying dozens of times, he still couldn't grasp the point, so he took out the imprinted jade slip and watched it again with his mind.
The cultivation method described in this exercise is also an extremely strange way of breathing, and what is even more strange is that it can directly absorb the spiritual energy of the spiritual stone in its hand into its body in this way.
After watching it for a while, Xu Bing realized that although the cultivation method in this spiritual introduction is indeed as he understood, it is a special breathing method to absorb the spiritual power in the spirit stone, but it also needs to mobilize the trace of spiritual energy that stayed in the body when the previous spiritual energy entered the body when breathing, in order to play a role in cultivation. This is why people who have not achieved the spiritual energy into the body cannot start to practice, and the spiritual energy in the body is like an introduction, mobilizing it to rotate and swim in the body, and then attract the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone and the surrounding heaven and earth to achieve the effect of absorption.
After figuring it out, a faint smile appeared on Xu Bing's face, and he held the spirit stone in his hand again, closed his eyes, and began to absorb it again.
At this time, in Xu Bing's body, there was an extremely fine pale cyan aura that kept rotating, and with its rotation, a trace of aura that could not be seen by the naked eye slowly appeared around Xu Bing's body, and the surface of the spirit stone in his hand also oozes the same pale cyan aura. Under the guidance of the trace of aura in his body, all these auras that appeared outside seemed to be blown by the wind, enveloping his body.
This aura was originally extremely light in color and very rare, but it only gathered when Xu Bing was practicing, forming a faint cyan mist on the surface of his body. This mist can't be seen by mortals, even Xu Bing can't see it at this time, but he can feel the cool feeling very clearly.
That trace of aura passed through Xu Bing's clothes, fell on the surface of his body, and slowly entered through his pores, until it entered his muscles and blood, and after a week of circulation throughout his body, his bones and flesh were slightly stronger than before, and then slowly fell back into his dantian and began to turn left for the second time.
And as the aura in Xu Bing's dantian became more and more, the attraction generated when he rotated was also increasing, and the speed at which he absorbed the aura became even faster.
An Hour...... Two Hours......
Until the sun was completely engulfed by the night, Xu Bing in his knees still closed his eyes. At this moment, there was only the last spirit stone left in his hand, and it looked like it was less than half the size at the beginning, obviously after Xu Bing's absorption for a period of time, and now it can't last long.
And so on, and another hour.
It has been about five hours since Xu Bing began to practice. Just now, the last spirit stone in his hand had also completed its final mission, turning into a small pile of tiny and dim powder, falling from between his fingers.
Xu Bing, who was cross-legged, also opened his eyes at this time, and let out a long sigh of relief, then slowly stood up, lowered his head and looked at himself for a while, and said to himself, "After absorbing it for so long, the two spirit stones have been absorbed by me, and they have not yet reached the mortal realm." After speaking, he frowned and thought about it, as if he had not reached what he wanted in his heart because his cultivation for several hours had not reached his heart, and he thought hard and meditated.
But what Xu Bing didn't know was that the speed of his cultivation today had far exceeded that of too many disciples when he had just entered the sect.
First of all, if he can directly absorb two spirit stones for the first time in cultivation like him, in the outer gate of this Thunder Immortal Sect, I am afraid that he will not be able to find a second person; secondly, although the exercises used by Xu Bing in his cultivation are only the Yellow Order exercises, but the Spirit Quotation is the most basic cultivation method, and he can already use this exercise to practice without even spending much time figuring it out. And he has an advantage that is stronger than too many monks, that is, his innate spiritual root, which makes his cultivation speed much faster than other monks who also use the Yellow Rank Exercises.
After Xu Bing finished practicing, he saw that Shizun had not returned, and his stomach seemed to feel a burst of hunger, so he had no choice but to go out to find food.
After walking out of the hut, Xu Bing first came to Shen Cong's cave, but he didn't see Shen Cong, he didn't know where the other party went, and he was very unfamiliar with this mountain, so he sighed lightly, Xu Bing still decided to go around by himself.
After walking along the mountain road to the back for a while, about half a pillar of incense, Xu Bing suddenly stopped. At this time, in front of him, five or six feet away, there seemed to be a figure squatting motionless. After watching it for a while, Xu Bing slowly lowered his vigilance, because he found that the person in front of him looked at it as the senior brother Shen Cong who didn't know where to go.
But after all, it was night, and Xu Bing didn't see it very really, so he took out the dagger given by his master, held it in his hand, and touched the figure in front of him little by little.
When he was only two or three steps away from the other party, Xu Bing had already confirmed that the person in front of him was Shen Cong, so he put away the dagger and called out softly, "Senior Brother".
The figure in front of him was originally squatting on the ground, but when he heard Xu Bing's voice, he seemed to be stunned for a moment and turned his head. The fat body and face, who could it be if it wasn't Shen Cong, he looked at Xu Bing without the slightest surprise, put his right index finger on his mouth and "shh As he spoke, he pointed his finger forward again, angrily snorted at Xu Bing, and motioned for Xu Bing to look forward.
Xu Bing was originally behind Shen Cong, and the other party's fat body completely blocked his vision, so he had to move a few steps forward and squat side with Shen Cong. Saying what Shen Cong pointed at, Xu Bing found that there were several rabbits on the hillside in front of him, these rabbits were extremely fat, he had been hungry for a long time, and when he saw these rabbits, the hunger was even more obvious.
The two glanced at each other, and suddenly found a sense of coincidences in each other's eyes.
Xu Bing saw that Shen Cong had already prepared something to catch the rabbit, obviously he knew that there were rabbits here. He held a piece of rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope was tied into a loop, and in the middle of this rope loop, there were a few grasses.
Originally, such a mechanism would not have any effect, after all, the size of a mountain is enough for rabbits to forage for food. Unfortunately, the mountain they were on was almost bare, and it was difficult to find a wisp of cyan from it, and the rabbit that had been jumping nearby, after waiting for a while, finally leaned towards the grass in the rope circle.
It's a gray rabbit, and I don't know what it eats on this bare mountaintop on weekdays, and it looks so fat. When the rabbit saw the grass, it did not eat it directly, but kept sniffing two or three feet away from the rope loop, but always hesitated.
The two waited a little longer, but the rabbit still did not eat the grass. Just when Shen Cong was about to get impatient, a few rabbits in the distance seemed to have discovered the grass here and slowly leaned over. The rabbit that was originally the closest to the world, when he saw that other companions were going to come and grab food from it, seemed to panic suddenly, looked left and right a few times, and then jumped directly into the rope circle without any hesitation, and happily ate the grass.
But the rabbit is cheerful, but there are people who are more cheerful than it. After seeing the rabbit enter the rope circle, Shen Cong and Xu Bing both smiled at the same time. At the same time as this smile appeared, Shen Cong had already pulled the rope in his hand, and the rabbit that was eating grass, the bite of the upper and lower jaws suddenly stopped, and the whole body was dragged out by the rope, and it fell into Shen Cong's hands in a blink of an eye.
It happened too fast, at least for the rabbits in the distance. After seeing their companions being caught, they turned their heads in an instant and fled in the opposite direction to Xu Bing and the others, the speed made Xu Bing and the others stunned, Xu Bing sighed in his heart, the speed of this rabbit, even if he left himself, I am afraid that he would not be able to catch up, and at this moment he also understood why Shen Cong would choose such a stupid way to catch them, although the method was clumsy, but it did work.
Shen Cong raised his eyebrows at Xu Bing very proudly, and said, "How about junior brother, follow senior brother to have meat to eat, but don't tell Shizun." As he spoke, he took the rabbit and left, but the direction he left was not his own cave, but the exact opposite direction, as if he wanted to get as far away from there as possible.
Although Xu Bing was puzzled, he didn't ask much, after all, he was still hungry at the moment, so he followed directly.
