Chapter Forty-Eight: Carved Armor
Haizhou is the largest continent in the south of the Hongmeng Continent, with a huge area, and a large number of monks with abundant spiritual veins, many big cities, and the first in the south. Therefore, a few years ago, the immortals who mastered the secret method of imitating the teleportation array saw a business opportunity from it, and made an exception to build two teleportation arrays within the boundary of Haizhou, one in Anqiu City in the northwest of Haizhou, and one in Gaoling City in the northeast of Haizhou.
As the name suggests, Gaoling Castle is known to be not far from the famous Gaoling Mountain Range, and in fact, the city is located at the foot of Gaoling Mountain. It's just that Gaoling Mountain is a very huge mountain range, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, and it is said that the legendary tomb is quite far away from this city, somewhere deep in the mountains.
Over the years, because Gaoling Mountain is rich in products and has attracted many monks from near and far to come here, Gaoling City has also become a prosperous city. In recent days, the number of monks in Gaoling City seems to have increased a lot, and even occasionally you can see some strangely dressed monks who seem to have come from afar.
When he walked out of the teleportation circle, Shen Shi, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, did not attract anyone's attention, and walked into the flow of people with a calm expression, and a monk like him who seemed to want to try his luck here in Gaoling City did not know how many there would be in a day.
It's just that although his face is calm, the thoughts in his heart are constantly calculating, although earlier he was also a little surprised why the Hou family and his party didn't go to the teleportation array, and would rather use the immortal boat with great effort, but when he really came to Gaoling City, he understood a little bit in his heart.
Now there are many monks in this Gaoling City, coupled with the news of the birth of the tomb in this period of time, countless scattered cultivators and sect disciples are flocking here, if the Hou family really has any secret news, it may attract others to snoop when they get here, it is really better to simply use the fairy boat to go to the depths of the mountain range from scratch, and the chance of being discovered is much smaller.
It's just that in this way, the idea of finding them and thinking about taking advantage of them becomes more and more slim.
Shaking his head, Shen Shi sighed softly in his heart, he couldn't help but regret his trip to Gaoling Mountain, but he came here, so let's just take a look by the way, it's a big deal to take a trip into the mountain to look for it, maybe there will be some chances, and it's not bad to find some spiritual materials such as spirit grass.
After subconsciously lowering the goal of his trip, Shen Shi cheered up, looked at the sky, and looked at the pedestrians on the street, at a glance, it seemed that they were all monks, as if there were more than the ones he had seen in Liuyun City, and he couldn't help but secretly stumble in his heart, thinking that sure enough, this kind of treasure legend with a bit of vanity in this world attracted monks the most, even if he knew that there was little hope, everyone still flocked to it.
Shen Shi walked around the streets, so he thought about finding an inn to stay and rest first, but after looking for a few in a row, he found that all the inns for monks in Gaoling City were now full, and there were no rooms at all. The boss of each family smiled from ear to ear, and politely and apologetically sent him out.
Shen Shi was also helpless, but seeing that a few monks who had similar experiences with him would appear from time to time, his mood was not too bad, and he laughed bitterly at himself, so he went outside the city and found a secluded forest, hiding in a big tree like the habit he had developed in the demon world in the past.
The dense foliage covered his figure, and as the sky gradually darkened, it was difficult for ordinary people to find his figure, except for the occasional black figure on the tree who would mumble a few words and hum a few words, which was the little black pig's grumbling appearance.
There was silence all around, Shen Shi sat quietly on top of the big tree, looking at the night sky through the gaps in the branches and leaves, where a few stars twinkled, like eyes staring at the world.
Tomorrow is about to enter the mountain, Shen Shi touched his Ruyi bag, and through his spiritual power, he could feel the black scrolls of the two yin and yang mantras lying quietly in a corner of the Ruyi bag, and his heart moved slightly. It can be said that if it weren't for the relationship between the Yin and Yang Mantra this time, he would never have come to Gaoling Mountain to join in this excitement, but now it seems that even if he came over this time, the hope is still very slim.
He was silent for a long time, thinking about it repeatedly, and he couldn't think of any other way for him to go out and try his luck in the mountains, and it was obvious that the current gathering of monks in Gaoling Mountain and the gathering of wind and clouds must be accompanied by many unknown risks.
No matter how you think about it, it seems that in the end, it is all the fault that your Dao realm is too low.
Shen Shi pursed his lips, took out a spirit crystal casually, and played with it in his hand, but then seemed to hesitate, and finally shook his head and put the spirit crystal away. At this moment, he is in the wilderness, not in his own cave on Jinhong Mountain, even if this big tree looks quite safe at the moment, but if he really wants to cultivate and calm his body and mind, it is really quite risky, so after thinking about it, Shen Shi still gave up this daily cultivation homework.
However, it is not possible to attract the spirit into the body, but it is still possible to guide the spiritual power in the body to cultivate the Divine Passage Method.
The little black pig was lying in a tree nest not far from him, and it didn't seem to feel the slightest bit of a diaphragm because of its rough skin and thick flesh, with a leisurely and comfortable posture, occasionally looking at Shen Shi, and lying there most of the time, and it didn't take long for its breathing to begin to come steadily and long, as if it was asleep.
Shen Shi took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, looked inward, and soon peeked into the newly opened Qi Sea Dantian in his body, only to see that the clouds in it were vast, silky, but almost precipitated in a part of the Qi Sea, in general, it was only about one-fifth of the volume of the entire Qi Sea.
These clouds are all the spiritual power that Shen Shi has absorbed into the body since he began to cultivate, of course, this refers to the part of spiritual power that is normally absorbed into the body. As for the spiritual power that he would be able to cultivate again within a day after cultivating the Pure Heart Mantra in the future, it was all gathered in a mysterious hole in the center of his eyebrows for some strange and unknown reason.
Shen Shi silently looked at himself at the Qi Sea Dantian, and suddenly felt that this place was very important to the monk, and it seemed to be quite similar to the situation at the center of his eyebrows, but the size was very different, but from another point of view, it seemed that the spiritual power in the eyebrows was condensed far better than the spiritual power in the Dantian Qi Sea.
Perhaps, this is the reason why he cast the Five Elements Spell at such a fast speed when he was refining Qi Realm?
Shen Shi thought silently in his heart, and after pondering for a while, he exhaled lightly, his mind sank, and in a moment, the cloud of spiritual power in the sea of qi suddenly began to flow slowly from a calm state.
Trace of it, diffuse and fluttering, as if an invisible wind blew from the distant sea, rippling a thin sea of clouds, layer by layer, gently fluttering, in the depths of the clouds, slowly outlining a rough, vague but faintly shining a little dark gold luster of armor.
Golden Stone Armor.
One of the seventeen basic exercises that the disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect have introductory, the defense is extremely strong, and it is said that after cultivating to the Dacheng realm, once the spell is cast, the whole body is covered with armor, indestructible, enough to resist the full force of the opponent at the peak of the Ning Yuan Realm. It's just that it's said that in the end, what the effect is, Shen Shi himself has never seen it.
And as he concentrated on the golden stone armor technique, after slowly condensing the dark golden luster of the gaseous armor in the sea of qi, above his physical body, in this darkness, there was suddenly a little light and faint light passing by, with a little golden brilliance, emanating from his physical skin.
Shen Shi practiced quietly, and as time passed quietly, the dark golden armor cloud in his dantian qi sea gradually became clearer, and correspondingly, the golden luster outside his body seemed to be a little brighter, and from a distance, it seemed that he seemed to be wearing a layer of ethereal halo armor, although the brilliance was really fragile, and it seemed that it would scatter as long as it was lightly touched.
In the sea of qi, the sea of clouds formed by the spiritual power flowed slowly, surrounding the dark gold armor in the very center, and there seemed to be a pair of invisible carving hands, patiently and persistently condensing and carving this armor that was still extremely rough, but this road still seemed to be long and distant, at least at this moment, the place where the clear armor could barely be seen seemed to be only the place on the chest.
Outside of Shen Shi's body, the faint golden light floated and sank, and it was also in his chest, and that little bit of light looked brighter than other places.
After almost half an hour, the clouds in the sea of qi suddenly stagnated, and then dispersed like a whirlwind, and the armor instantly scattered, turning into clouds that were no different from the surroundings, and disappeared.
Shen Shi snorted lightly, his body shook slightly, and then he opened his eyes, and almost at the same time, the glimmer of light on his body, especially in his heart, also dissipated.
The cultivation of Dao magic power has never been a simple matter, Shen Shi has already been fully mentally prepared for this, Jin Shi Armor This kind of Dao magic power, the life-saving effect is naturally first-class, but to cultivate successfully, it still takes a lot of time of diligent practice and carving.
That kind of legend of ascending to the sky in one step probably only appeared when looking for the treasure of the Gaoling Mountain Tomb now, but Shen Shi immediately smiled bitterly, thinking to himself that he was also a member of the treasure hunting army at this moment?
After cultivating, he was still a little tired, and he leaned his back against the trunk of the tree and relaxed. Since he got the Golden Stone Armor Method, he has not relaxed his cultivation of such exercises these days, and since he was a child, he has long been accustomed to such a down-to-earth method and relying on his own diligence step by step to obtain the harvest.
Today's cultivation, the armor phantom in the sea of qi is obviously clearer than a few days ago, especially in the place on his chest, and even a clear armor piece appeared for the first time, which means that he has begun to make some progress in the cultivation of this exercise, although it is still far away from cultivating Xiaocheng at this moment, but if he uses such a method in a hurry, at least in this small area of his chest, his skin will be harder than that of ordinary monks.
It's just a little stronger, but if you continue to cultivate in the future, you should have a day when your whole body will be indestructible?
Before Shen Shi fell asleep, he thought in his heart that when he woke up, it was time to go to the Gaoling Mountain.
