Chapter 44: Cultivating Earth Rock Armor
As soon as he opened his eyes, Dong Xiaolong saw the quilt in front of him bulging. Why did Xiaoqing run to his room again? Dong Xiaolong clearly remembered that he locked the door of his room yesterday.
Cautiously leaving his room, he closed the door only to realize that he hadn't taken the key off yesterday. Because he planned to cultivate the Earth Rock Armor, Dong Xiaolong didn't wake up Xiaoqing and came to the cultivation place by himself.
The attribute of the earth rock armor is earth, so Dong Xiaolong has another attribute that needs to be mastered. With each more attribute control, the requirements for one's own cultivation will be raised by a notch. Tang Hanfeng didn't let Dong Xiaolong cultivate too many techniques before, firstly because his cultivation strength was too low and he couldn't chew too much, and secondly, because he couldn't be proficient in one attribute because of the multiple attributes of cultivation.
However, Dong Xiaolong guessed that cultivating multiple attributes was not because he couldn't be proficient in every attribute, but because cultivating to be proficient in every attribute was an extremely difficult cultivation path. Since he can cultivate multi-attribute true qi, then it proves that he is suitable for this cultivation method, so Dong Xiaolong still decided to boldly try to cultivate, and now he does have a great deficiency in defense.
Adjust your own breathing, your mind urges the operation of Tianyuan Jue, the sea of qi runs rapidly, and the aura of heaven and earth around you gathers. Ever since Dong Xiaolong stepped into the level of the Heavenly Rank of the Foundation Building Realm, the true qi in the sea of qi has not shown any signs of expanding anymore, and it stands to reason that he has reached the standard of breaking through to the Jiedan Realm, but Dong Xiaolong has not touched the feeling of breaking through the boundary at all.
This time, Dong Xiaolong really felt the difficulty of breaking through, his previous cultivation was indeed too smooth, and it was really not an easy task to cross the border. However, Dong Xiaolong is not in a hurry, and improving his strength is not just reflected in improving his cultivation. With two advanced techniques, even if there is a gap between his cultivation and his opponent, he can still make up for it with his attacks.
Feel the pale yellow vitality in the aura of heaven and earth, which is the color of the earth-attribute aura. Practicing mastering the earth attribute is not as difficult as the thunder attribute, and the earth attribute is not as violent as the thunder attribute, it is a soft and resolute force. After Dong Xiaolong became familiar with the aura of the earth attribute, he began to practice the transformation of the true qi of the earth attribute.
Because the Earth Rock Armor is a defensive skill, its cultivation method is more restrained, rather than the kind of external control like Extreme Explosion Thunder Silence. The transformed earth-attribute true qi travels through the body according to the recorded route, and the earth-attribute true qi is stored in the corresponding acupuncture points of the body.
This process is the first step in cultivating the Earth Rock Armor, but it is also a step once and for all. After the first cultivation is successful, a fixed system is formed, and there is no need to do this step of cultivation again. It is equivalent to training a piece of armor on your body, which will appear when you want to use it, hide it in your body when you don't use it, and replenish and repair it if it is broken.
If Lin Yan was here, with his guidance, Dong Xiaolong's cultivation would be easier, but unfortunately before he could ask Lin Yan, Lin Yan had already left. Fortunately, the cultivation method of the Earth Rock Armor is relatively simple, and you only need to cultivate step by step.
It took about an hour for Dong Xiaolong to complete the earth attribute true qi to run all the acupuncture points needed by his body, so that even if the initial earth rock armor was successfully condensed, the next step was the process of control and condensation.
The first attempt to mobilize the earth rock armor was not as complicated as Dong Xiaolong imagined, the big acupuncture point that the true qi needed in the body traveled rapidly, and a layer of brown-yellow earth armor appeared on the surface of the skin, and it was not as thick as imagined, almost like wearing a thick cotton coat.
Dong Xiaolong originally wanted to test the tenacity of the Earth Rock Armor, but thinking that he was not good at testing alone, he regretted that he didn't ask Xiaoqing to come with him. Dong Xiaolong put the test behind first, and began to condense the strength of the Earth Rock Armor.
The method of condensing the earth rock armor is relatively simple, mainly to continuously convey the earth-attribute true qi to the meridian acupuncture points, so that the armor on the surface of the body has stronger energy maintenance, and it will continue to increase its strength.
Dong Xiaolong increased the amount of earth attribute true qi transported, and the meridians improved by the two spirit grasses were very tough, even with such a large amount of true qi running, Dong Xiaolong did not feel that his body felt unbearable, but with the operation of true qi, the earth rock armor on his body also became more condensed, and the weight was constantly increasing.
It didn't take long for Dong Xiaolong's earth rock armor to become very heavy, and its weight reached nearly 100 catties. This weight Dong Xiaolong can bear, but his actions are also much slower.
When the weight of the Earth Rock Armor reached a critical point that Dong Xiaolong could not bear, the Earth Rock Armor broke away from Dong Xiaolong's body and formed a rock barrier around it. The pressure that disappeared in an instant also made Dong Xiaolong feel relieved, but now he could test the defensive power of the Earth Rock Armor.
Mobilizing the true qi in his body, Dong Xiaolong used his greatest strength to punch the rock barrier, and the rock barrier shook slightly, but the surface was not harmed.
"The defense is acceptable!" Dong Xiaolong was quite satisfied with this effect, but he didn't know how to take back this rock barrier.
Dong Xiaolong was thinking about how to retract it, when the surrounding rock barrier suddenly turned into a brownish-yellow light, which directly drilled into Dong Xiaolong's body.
"It's very easy to do as you like. However, Dong Xiaolong was more curious about the two characteristics of the Earth Rock Armor, the first of which was the fact that the Earth Rock Armor could be integrated into the surrounding environment.
Dong Xiaolong found a place with many rocks and summoned the earth rock armor in his body. This trait is only mentioned in the cultivation method of the Earth Rock Armor, but it does not clearly state the method of triggering this trait.
The description of this trait is somewhat similar to that of a chameleon, but it is very different, and according to the description, the use of georock armor can even blend in with the surrounding rocky land.
Dong Xiaolong stood on the ground stunned at the moment, constantly adjusting the position and the form of contact with the ground, but the earth rock armor still did not change. After his repeated attempts ended in failure, Dong Xiaolong saw an exposed rock wall not far away.
A Qingqi thought came to Dong Xiaolong's mind, and he faced the rock wall and rushed towards the stone wall at an extremely fast speed. I heard a loud bang, and a pit appeared in the rock wall in front of me, and cracks formed around the pit.
"It's so amazing, and I don't make it clear about the trigger conditions, this characteristic is not used to fool people, right?" Dong Xiaolong was in a very depressed mood at the moment, he now regretted very much that he didn't ask Lin Yan about the cultivation of the Earth Rock Armor before he left, and now he could only pin his hopes on the old man who left the embers.
"Leaving the Ember seniors, the juniors have something to ask for, please show up quickly!" Dong Xiaolong called out to the old man from Ember in the spiritual world.
The old man slowly floated out of the illusory world, his illusory body stretching and covering his mouth and yawning. "What are you doing early in the morning, don't you know that the elderly need to rest?"
"It's usually older people who sleep less. Dong Xiaolong also looked at the old man from Ember a little helplessly, and he felt more and more that the old man from Ember was like an old naughty boy.
"I'm a senior, I have the final say!" said the old man with a proud look.
"Okay, okay, you're old, you say it. Dong Xiaolong felt that it was no longer accurate to look like an old naughty boy, this old man who left the embers was an old naughty boy.
"Watch your attitude! Tell me anything! It's not good to ask me to come out. ”
Dong Xiaolong explained the matter of cultivating the Earth Rock Armor and the relevant explanations of the cultivation of the Earth Rock Armor to the old man from the Ember. After listening to this, the old man from Ember also thought for a long time, and then came to a conclusion.
"You don't have a good grasp of the earth attribute, this elemental attribute!"
"Then how can I cultivate to solve this problem?"
"Use more, feel more. The old man from Ember said these six words simply.
"Is that okay?" Dong Xiaolong didn't expect that this solution would be so simple.
"Otherwise, what do you want to expect from me, an old man with amnesia, to teach you?" The old man glanced at Dong Xiaolong, and then continued, "In fact, skillful use is the best way to cultivate techniques, no matter what the attributes of the techniques are the same, in your continuous use, you will slowly master the essence of the techniques, you carefully recall the process of cultivating thunder techniques, is it also in the continuous use, found a more flexible and changeable usage." ”
The words of the old man who left the ember made Dong Xiaolong suddenly wake up a lot. In fact, he understands the truth, but he always thinks that masters like Tang Hanfeng and others will have more unique insights into cultivation, so he agrees more with the methods told from these people, but in fact, Dong Xiaolong himself has thought of these methods.
"Juniors get it!"
The Ember Old Man nodded in satisfaction, turned around and returned to the Illusion World.
Dong Xiaolong knew that if he wanted to hurry, he would not be able to reach it, and the Earth Rock Armor had already been preliminarily cultivated and formed, and his task today was completed. Seeing that the time was still early, the thunder and lightning quenching body had not been cultivated for many days, and the rest of the time Dong Xiaolong decided to cultivate the thunder and lightning quenching body, striving to break through to the third level as soon as possible.
In about an hour, Dong Xiaolong ended the state of thunder and lightning quenching, and he felt that his body had vaguely increased some strength, but it was very small, and it seemed that there was still some opportunity to break through the third thunder and lightning quenching body.
returned to the school cafeteria and bought breakfast for Xiaoqing, and Dong Xiaolong quickly rushed back to his residence. As soon as he pushed the door open, Xiaoqing ran to him and looked at Dong Xiaolong with a resentful expression.
Dong Xiaolong smiled awkwardly, and then handed the food in his hand to Xiaoqing. "Breakfast for you, eat it while it's hot!"
Xiaoqing smelled the aroma of the food, glanced at Dong Xiaolong, then snatched the food from his hand, and quickly ran to the table to eat, glaring at Dong Xiaolong a few times while eating.
Didn't you teach her to play with her phone last night? Dong Xiaolong felt helpless in his heart.
"I ......" Dong Xiaolong was about to apologize, but he heard Xiaoqing say: "Men, they are all big liars!"
"You eat slowly first, I won't affect your appetite in front of your eyes, I'll take a bath. Dong Xiaolong said with a smile.
