In the 12 years of the young Shen Shi's life so far, this journey to Haizhou in the south to study and practice was definitely the most painful period in his memory.

For seven days, he had to follow the butcher into the teleportation circle at least three times a day, and sometimes even more, because the butcher said very clearly, such a famous sect as the Ling Xiao Sect has been inherited for thousands of years, and the rules are strict and many, just opening the mountain gate to accept disciples will be determined to die once every five years, and the disciples who are fortunate enough to be accepted into the gate must also arrive at the designated place on the specified day, and will be led up the mountain by the immortal masters in the Ling Xiao Sect. Once delayed, this hard-won immortal fate will be broken.

"This year happens to be the year of the opening of the sect and the acceptance of disciples, otherwise I don't think you would have been so lucky to get a place to worship in the Lingxiao Sect. But the day of their pick-up is set on the 10th day of the fourth month, and you think we should hurry?"

Shen Shi, who had already had a big shadow for entering the teleportation circle again, was also speechless after hearing these words, and finally although he was in pain, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement, and once again followed the butcher into the teleportation circle, enduring the pain of ant devouring that was almost unbearable for his age.

When they arrived at Lanzhou Black Wood City that day, it was the twenty-ninth day of March, and it was only more than ten days before the day set by Ling Xiaozong to receive them, and the time was already very urgent, and Shen Shi really couldn't afford to delay. But day after day, for seven days, each day was suffering more than three times by ants, which really made him miserable.

And with his physical strength, three times a day, at most four times, he has reached a limit, almost to the point where he can't even walk, even the butcher doesn't dare to force him to continue, anyway, he can barely catch up with the time, and the two of them stop and go like this, teleporting all the way.

Rao is like this, even if Shen Shi was given time to rest and recover on the way, but when the butcher and Shen Shi finally passed the last teleportation circle and arrived in Haizhou seven days later, Shen Shi already looked like he was seriously ill, and he looked weak and weak, and he looked like he would fall down at any time.

The butcher looked at Shen Shi's appearance, and was also a little worried, so he hurriedly took Shen Shi to find a secluded house to settle down, and let him recuperate for two days, which made the young man's face look a little bloody, and no longer looked like a living dead when he first arrived.

After recovering a little bit of spirit, Shen Shi still remembered the matter of apprenticeship after all, and asked the butcher about the situation carefully, and learned that it was now the eighth day of the first month of April, and there were still two days before he went to Lingxiao Sect to receive the lead, and the place of the connection was a place called "Baixian Rock", which was outside Liuyun City in Haizhou, where they are now, on the shore of the sea, and could be reached within an hour.

Knowing this situation, Shen Shi's heart was relieved, thinking that it was difficult to finally struggle here, thinking that in two days, maybe he would be able to worship the world's famous top cultivators, Shen Shi's heart couldn't help but be hot, and he yearned.

While eager, when Shen Shi was talking and chatting with the butcher, he casually asked about the situation in Haizhou, where the two of them were at the moment, and the situation in this Liuyun City, the butcher was also refreshed, and he would say whatever he knew. If you want to talk about this Haizhou, it is a number of famous states in the ninety states of Hongmeng main boundary, and in terms of the land area of one state alone, it is better than Yin Zhou and Lanzhou together, and it has always had the reputation of "the first state in the south" in the Hongmeng continent.

Haizhou is an important town in the Hongmeng world, prosperous, with a lot of blessed land, and countless Xiuzhen gates in the territory, among which the most famous is second to none, and it is naturally ranked among the four righteous in the world, and the famous Lingxiao Sect.

And at present, the Liuyun City where they are located, located on the shore of the sea, is the largest city in Haizhou, the scale is huge, prosperous and prosperous, the monks in the past are like carp crossing the river, countless, plus the teleportation circle in Haizhou is also located in this city, the number is as many as nine, it is the icing on the cake, the monks from the south to the north to the south of the world, the north and the south, the north and the south, can be seen everywhere.

"Even if you look at the entire Hongmeng main realm, except for the unparalleled Tianhong City, Liuyun City can be regarded as a first-class prosperous place. In the end, the butcher used such a comment to make up their minds in Liuyun City.

The next day, that is, on the ninth day of the fourth month, Shen Shi, who woke up early, moved his body after getting up, only to feel that his body was brisk, and he seemed to be almost completely freed from the pain of ant devouring, and even his spirit was much better.

The mansion where he and the butcher live now is a private house on the surface, but in fact, it is also a private house secretly placed by the gods with great powers in Liuyun City. Shen Shi looked at it casually in the bedroom, and it didn't take much effort to find the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and after a little hesitation, he sharpened the ink and took the pen, and according to the habit of these years, he began to draw the ten runes of the five elements of yin and yang on the white paper.

Since fleeing in panic from Naxi Lu City that day, he has been like a lost dog all the way, panicking all day long, and he has no mood or condition to adhere to this habit for several years every day, until this time in Liuyun City, Shen Shi seems to feel a little calm that he hasn't seen for a long time.

The ink is uniform and light, the handwriting is smooth and soft, although he has not practiced for more than half a month, but the habit of perseverance over the years, after all, he still has a deep instinct, and the yin and yang runes drawn on the white paper are as complete as before, without the slightest mistake.

After writing five blank papers, putting down the brush, Shen Shi's face showed a little satisfaction, he let out a long breath, rubbed his wrist, and couldn't help but think of his father who didn't know where he was, but the matter had come to this, and it was useless to think about it, he sat in silence for a while, then stood up and went out of the room.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and in the courtyard outside the house, the butcher had already gotten up and stood there at some point, facing the direction of the sunrise, his hands were hugged, his eyes were blazing, he took a deep breath and exhaled, and a layer of dim red shimmer faintly appeared around his body, obviously practicing a Dao technique.

Shen Shi's eyes were sharp, and he looked at the palm of the butcher's hand, and sure enough, he saw that he was holding a spirit crystal in the palm of his right hand, the light flickered, and the wisps of light were continuously extracted from the crystal and absorbed into the butcher's skin.

Because he was born in the family of the disciples on the periphery of the Xuanyin Sect, and there were also many disciples of the Xuanyin Sect on the first floor of the sky, Shen Shi had seen a lot of similar scenes when he was a child, and he knew that this was the spiritual power cultivation in the butcher's absorption of spirit crystals. As for this method, it looks completely different from the way the disciples in the Xuanyin Sect practiced in the past, but there is nothing strange about it, there are thousands of Dao methods in the world, and there are no surprises, they are not the same Dao Sect system, and the cultivation methods are all very different.

I just don't know what the cultivation method in the Lingxiao Sect will be?

Shen Shi stood aside, didn't bother the butcher's cultivation, and watched quietly like this. I saw that the butcher maintained such a posture and practiced about a cup of tea, and then he stood up and took a deep breath, only to hear the faint sound of the bones around him, and the muscles were raised, looking strong and terrifying.

After a while, the momentum slowly subsided, the butcher shook his neck, looking quite comfortable after cultivation, after standing there and muttering for a while, he seemed to be a little excited, his right hand stretched out, and his five fingers were grasped, and after a while, he saw a low echo of "boom" in his palm, and a fireball condensed out of thin air.

Shen Shi's eyes froze, staring at the fireball, a thought flashed through his mind, and he said in a low voice: "Fireball technique......"

※※※

Since the Great War of the Demons, the Immortal Dao Method of Human Race cultivation has undergone 10,000 years of development, and it has entered an extremely prosperous era when it arrives in the present world, and all kinds of magical powers are endless, but in terms of the type of cultivation alone, in fact, in the final analysis, there are only two kinds of cultivation Divine Channel Method and Cultivation of the Five Elements Technique.

The person who cultivates the method of all kinds of divine channels is what is commonly called a monk today, and it is also the absolute mainstream of the world, and the five elements of magic is to manipulate the spiritual power of the five elements of heaven and earth, which is divided into five systems: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

It's just that the Five Elements Technique is too profound and complicated for the vast majority of people, and the energy required to practice the lowest-level First-Order Five Elements Technique is far better than that of a cultivator who cultivates the Ordinary Divine Passage Method, but the power of this Five Elements Technique is really smaller. For mortals, a fireball technique is naturally terrifying and terrifying, a fireball is enough to burn the human body into charcoal, but for a monk who cultivates the Dao Method, the body is tough and strong, and a fireball smashing into the body can only cause a few injuries to the low-level monks of the Qi Refining Realm at most, and if it is faced with the monks of the Ning Yuan Realm who enter the hall, it will be almost completely impossible to cause damage.

The power is not great, and the cultivation is difficult, and after a long time, the Five Elements Technique, which had flourished for a while, has gradually weakened in the Hongmeng World, and today, the Five Elements Technique has become a kind of law system that the monks look down on, and it has completely become an accessory to the mainstream cultivation of the Divine Passage Method.

Generally speaking, it is the monks who have a little interest in these Five Elements Techniques in addition to cultivation, so they will randomly pick up a few relatively simple Five Elements Techniques to cultivate, among which the lowest-level Qi Refining Realm monks are the majority, because the cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm is relatively simple, basically only the most basic absorption of spiritual energy into the body, solid Peiyuan, all kinds of magical powers, most of them have to go to the Ning Yuan Realm to start cultivating. Therefore, there are many monks in this realm who will choose one or two Five Elements Technique, which can be regarded as a kind of self-defense technique.

However, even so, it can't change the decline of the Five Elements Technique, even if it is said that in the distant past era, the Five Elements Technique was once strong, and the power of those high-level and high-grade Five Elements Spell is said to be extremely powerful and earth-shattering, but for many years, no one has seen that scene for a long time.

As for the fireball technique that the butcher in front of him is the lowest-level of the Five Elements Technique, and it is also the most common first-order spell of the fire system, which is called the three low-level spells of the Five Elements Technique, along with the "Water Arrow Technique" of the water system and the "Rock Thorn Technique" of the earth system, which is the simplest and most common Five Elements Technique.

Shen Shi's daily practice of the rune is actually a kind of small way method specifically for the five elements of magic, simply put, it is to form different rune patterns with various five elements of yin and yang and ten kinds of runes, draw on special rune paper, and then through a process commonly known as "injecting spirits" to inject spiritual power into the rune paper, you can make a complete rune.

As long as the monks learn a five-element spell and manipulate the same type of talisman with the same spell, they can use twenty percent of the spiritual power to urge a complete spell, and at the same time, the casting speed can be much faster, which can be described as time-saving and labor-saving, but there are also shortcomings, and the power of the spell cast through the talisman will be weakened a lot.

That is, because Shen Shi's practice of the way of the talisman has a lot to do with the Five Elements Technique, so he also has a little understanding of the Five Elements Technique, and at this moment, he suddenly saw the butcher cast this spell, and at first glance he recognized that this was the most common fireball technique.

The butcher seemed to hear the movement here, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Shen Shi standing on the side of the courtyard looking intently at the fireball in his hand, and suddenly his palm shook, only to see that the fireball suddenly brightened, and after a few rapid rotations, it suddenly broke away from the butcher's palm, and rushed towards Shen Shi with a whistling sound.

Even if it was far away, a blazing heat wave was already coming, Shen Shi was dumbfounded, standing in place for a while, at a loss, watching the fireball rush in front of him, the heat wave scorched his skin, as if it was about to burn.
