Chapter 68: The Secret
The monks of the Qi Refining Realm, because they did not open up the Jade Mansion Qi Sea, so the spiritual power absorbed into the body was scattered all over the body, plus the Dao was not high, and the spiritual power in the body was also meager, far from being comparable to the monks with advanced Dao practices such as the Ning Yuan Realm and the Divine Artistic Conception, so when they began to want to practice the Five Elements Technique, they would encounter a headache, that is, they always felt that the spiritual power in the body was insufficient and did not obey the call.
Many times, Qi Refining Realm cultivators often tried their best, and they could only mobilize one-third of the spiritual power in their own Qi veins, which still used the strength to eat milk to exhaust their spirits, so that they could mobilize the spiritual power that was lazily scattered all over the Qi veins. Just doing this was enough to exhaust many Qi Refining Realm cultivators who were new to the Five Elements Technique.
Every time at this time, there will always be many Qi Refining Realm cultivators who are extremely envious of those Ning Yuan Realm monks with higher realms, because they have opened up the Jade Mansion Qi Sea, and all the spiritual power around them is gathered in one place, like an arm and a finger, and they will mobilize when they say that they will be mobilized, and it will not take any effort at all, where can they use such hard work? But when they reach that realm, there will be more magical and powerful Dao magic powers waiting for the Ning Yuan Realm monks, and no one will put more effort into this difficult and complicated Five Elements Technique.
At this moment, Shen Shi encountered such a bottleneck, even if he already knew the Five Elements Technique, and completed the cognition and familiarity with the magic technique earlier than ordinary people, but in the process of adjusting the spiritual power within the collective, he also suffered a lot.
The spiritual power in the qi veins around his body is like a lazy worm and lazy man, scattered everywhere, ignoring his intention to try to stimulate mobilization, and he was so busy that he was sweating profusely for a long time, Shen Shi even felt as if he felt the reaction of headache when he first started to practice, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Five Elements Technique is really extremely difficult, and it is no wonder that the cultivation realm in the world is increasingly despising this technique, after all, compared to the power of the spell cast after cultivation, the effort is really worth the loss。
Fortunately, Shen Shi's temperament has always been calm and tenacious, although it was quite difficult and painful to cultivate the Five Elements Technique, but he still persevered, struggling many times in the middle, and I don't know how long it took, and finally managed to barely run enough spiritual power in his body once, and see how the water archery technique was stimulated.
According to the water archery technique, when the spiritual power in the body is running completely, the rest is to see if the practitioner can sense the surrounding water spiritual power, which of course also needs to be constantly tempered. However, when Shen Shi stared at his hand, according to the magic formula, if the spell was successful at this moment, he should condense a stream of water in his hand, under the urging of spiritual power, this seemingly soft stream of water would be as sharp as an arrow, and it could easily penetrate the mortal body, even if it was a monk who cultivated a strong flesh body, the water archery technique could also cause a lot of damage, especially for the cultivators of the Qi Refining Realm who were not high, the water archery technique could cause a great threat, but for the monks above the Ning Yuan Realm, the power of this first-order Five Elements Technique would be difficult to pose a threat。
He stared at his palms.
The palms are safe and sound, nothing happens.
After a while, Shen Shi smiled bitterly and put down his palm.
※※※
This is naturally a failure of this practice, but the practice of the Five Elements Technique has always been known for its difficulty, and Shen Shi, who knows a lot about it, did not think that it would really succeed once, but was quite satisfied that he could barely complete a spell cast in his first practice, although this spell was not successful in the end.
He sat quietly and rested in the stone room for a while, feeling that his spirit was fine, but after a moment of silence, Shen Shi stood up, picked up the cloud talisman to open the stone door, and walked out of the stone room.
After this night's cultivation, it was already the dead of night on Qingyu Island at this moment, only to see the darkness shrouding the four fields, deep and boundless, the sky was full of stars, and the starlight was flickering, illuminating a little of the world.
The fresh and cool sea breeze blows from afar, sweeping over the face and ears, making people feel their brains wake up after breathing, and the sea in the distance seems to have entered a deep sleep, lying quietly in the dark, only the never-ending sound of the tide echoes in the night of this bay.
The faint starlight was like water, sprinkled on the white sand beach in front of him, quiet and uninhabited, as if he was the only one in the world in the dead of night.
The sky is high and the sea is wide, and the night is deep and beautiful.
Shen Shi stepped off the beach and walked slowly towards the sea, the sound of the tide of the sea gradually became louder, and through the faint starlight above his head, he could vaguely see the white waves surging in the distance ahead.
The moisture in the air seems to be much denser.
That's why he came to the beach.
It is said that the cultivation of the Five Elements Dao Method is extremely deep, and no matter where the practitioner is, even in the hot desert where there is very little water vapor, the profound Dao practitioner can easily sense the spiritual power of the water system and cast the water system spell. However, for Shen Shi, who had just stepped into this path, this realm was obviously too far away, in fact, with the decline of the Five Elements Technique, it was really a question of whether there were such powerful sorcerers.
But for beginners, the stronger the power of the corresponding spells practiced, the greater the possibility of natural sensing, the herring island is located in the sea, looking at the Hongmeng world, I am afraid that there is no place more dense than the water vapor here in the sea.
There was also a reason why Shen Shi had chosen the water archery technique earlier and not the fireball technique that more monks usually loved.
At this moment, listening to the sound of the tides of the sea and sensing the moisture of the oncoming water, Shen Shi was also refreshed, and found a unique tall tree on the beach and sat down, and then began to practice water archery again, trying to sense the water spiritual power in the air.
Not to mention, leaving the dry cave stone room to this seaside, the induction of water archery seems to have some effect, and he quickly sensed some of the surrounding water spiritual power, but this time he encountered another trouble that he hadn't encountered before, that is, he was a little unable to mobilize the spiritual power in his body.
In the previous cultivation in the stone room, it took him a lot of effort to gather enough spiritual power scattered in the qi veins, almost about one-third of the spiritual power he cultivated now, which barely reached the level of casting the water archery technique, but after the failure, he cultivated again, and the part of the spiritual power just now was scattered everywhere again, and he needed to recover his life, so he could only gather the spiritual power in other qi veins that were farther away.
This cost him more energy than just now, and at the same time, it became a little more difficult, after all, he had just started to practice the Five Elements Technique today, and after a few hard work, he was really tired to the point that his head hurt, so he was able to gather enough spiritual power again, and then prepare to activate the water archery technique again.
In the darkness, under the starlight, he sat under the tree with his eyes closed, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have a vague expectant smile. At this moment, a light but clear footstep suddenly came from the darkness, stepping on the sand on the beach, and walked in his direction.
Cultivating the Five Elements Technique is different from cultivating spiritual power, and it will not really reach the realm of self-forgetfulness, Shen Shi quickly noticed the strange noise around him, and in a shock, the spiritual power that had been gathered was not controlled, but it slowly dispersed again, and all the previous efforts were lost.
Shen Shi was annoyed in his heart, and stood up suddenly, turning his head angrily to look in the direction where the footsteps came from, and at the same time with a little anger in his mouth, he said, "Who is it?"
The footsteps stopped suddenly, and the place where Shen Shi was a beach with several big trees side by side, and in the dark, a woman's figure seemed to be a little surprised, and turned out from behind another big tree in front of him.
That figure, that appearance, with the faint starlight in the sky, Shen Shi only felt familiar for a while, and was stunned for a moment, and said, "Hey, why are you, Qing ...... Not true!"
He saw that the woman who suddenly came was actually an acquaintance, it was Zhong Qingzhu, and he was stunned for a moment and wanted to say hello, but halfway through his words, Shen Shi suddenly frowned, noticed something strange, looked carefully, and then said in surprise: "Why are you, Zhong Qinglu?"
The girl who came was Zhong Qinglu, who was in the same family as Zhong Qingzhu and should be a cousin, but she was much better than Zhong Qingzhu in terms of family background.
Three years have passed, the little chubby girl who met at the beginning of the year has changed greatly, like Zhong Qingzhu, Zhong Qinglu's figure has also grown, and it looks better than Zhong Qingzhu, her body is slightly taller, and her figure looks very good, even if it is a loose and leisurely Lingxiao Sect disciple uniform, it is already a little faintly unable to hide her increasingly delicate and convex beautiful figure.
However, compared to the slender and beautiful figure that has grown up, although Zhong Qinglu is no longer obese, her face is still a little baby fat, and she looks white and fat, and she still slightly loses a little bit of her beauty, but it looks like I have to say that the fifteen-year-old Zhong Qinglu is still much better looking than the little chubby girl when she first entered the island at the age of twelve.
It's just that in the dead of night, Zhong Qinglu was alone, but why did he come to this silent and uninhabited beach?
Shen Shi looked at her, frowned and asked his own question.
Zhong Qinglu's figure and appearance have changed, but it seems that his temperament is similar to that of three years ago, he looked Shen Shi up and down, but he had a condescending momentum, snorted, and sneered: "What's the matter with you, I'm bored in the cave and come out for a walk, do I still have to report to you?"
Shen Shiden was stunned for a moment, speechless.
And looking at Zhong Qinglu's appearance, it seemed that it was not only that, but it also had a bit of suspicion, looking at Shen Shi and said: "Then again, in the middle of the night, don't you also run here to the beach alone, what are you doing?"
Shen Shi coughed dryly and said, "I'm bored in the cave, come out for a walk......"
Zhong Qinglu sneered, sneered at Shen Shi's obviously perfunctory reply, and said to himself: "Roe deer, either traitor or thief!"
After saying that, he snorted, shook his head, turned to leave, and left Shen Shi standing in place stunned for a long time, then suddenly came to his senses, and said angrily at her back: "Who is the roe deer, and what does it mean to be a traitor or a thief, you tell me clearly!"
Zhong Qing didn't look back, just raised a hand and waved it at will, the sea breeze blew, and in the starlight, her clothes flew slightly, revealing a white arm, looking at the back figure, it was really graceful and beautiful, but the gesture was momentum, but it was clearly a little disdainful and mocking, which made Shen Shi angry half to death.
However, after three years, they lived not far away, and Shen Shi also knew that this woman was like this on weekdays, and he didn't have any urge to go up and settle accounts with her, but he just shook his head in his heart and sighed that he was unlucky.
It was easy to settle down, Shen Shi cheered up, and tried to practice water archery twice, but all of them failed, so he had no choice but to drag his tired body to stand up, turn around and walk in the direction of the cave, and at the same time greet Zhong Qinglu who disturbed him tonight.
There is a distance from the beach to the cave, the sand is soft, Shen Shi walks a little slowly, after Zhong Qinglu left, there is no one in this large place, and in the whole night, it seems that only Shen Shi is facing the sea sky.
He walked slowly, and when he was about to walk to the avenue outside the cave, suddenly the corner of his eye swept over somewhere in the distance, but it was a figure walking quickly on the main road, which was also somewhat familiar and familiar. Shen Shi stood in the dark, squinted his eyes slightly, and stared at the figure, for a moment he almost thought that it was Zhong Qinglu who had gone and returned just now, but after a while, he was surprised to find that the figure was Zhong Qingzhu.
In this quiet and silent night, Zhong Qingzhu watched as he walked briskly on the road with a calm face and an expressionless face, quietly walking into the distance, and it didn't take long for him to disappear into the darkness, and everything was calm again.
Shen Shi silently walked back to his cave and turned his head to look, there was only a thick darkness in the distance ahead.
Everything was quiet, as if nothing had happened, no one had appeared, as if he had been alone from beginning to end this night.
However, in such a quiet night, Zhong Qingzhu was alone, and his whereabouts were a little mysterious, but where was he going......
