Chapter Twenty-Three: Immerse yourself in hard work
In the blink of an eye, Mu Yi had been practicing in the cave for five months. The five basic spells of the Five Elements Ascension Sutra, he has roughly eaten it, what is lacking is only fire, as long as practice makes perfect, these spells will go to the next level.
Suppressing the attraction to the Five Elements Spells, Mu Yi began to practice the three auxiliary spells in the scriptures in the sixth month, the Breath Technique, the Exorcism Technique, and the Lifting Technique. One of the most important is the exorcism, the reason why he was the first to choose was for the few magic weapons left in Bai Zhanyi's storage bag.
These magic weapons, Mu Yi specially consulted the old ghost, and the results he got also made him surprised, they were all above the middle grade, and there was one of them that was the best magic weapon. The best magic weapon, the monks in the foundation building period don't necessarily have it, but they got one, can they not be excited?
Just when he was proud, the old ghost said coldly: "What's there to be happy about, isn't it just a superb magic weapon, a garbage-like thing." Besides, with your little cultivation, it's good to be able to use those three medium-grade magic weapons well, don't be too ambitious, boy!"
It's like a basin of cold water, and the wood is easy to be poured so that the tiles are cool, and I asked a little unconvinced: "Why?"
"Why? You can try it yourself, and if you can control it to hold on to five breaths, you'll know why. After the old ghost finished speaking, he ignored him, and disappeared into the kernel.
Mu Yibian didn't believe in that evil, and immediately opened his posture and began to experiment.
Picking up the knife-like supreme magic weapon, after laying the Divine Sense Brand, he threw it violently into the air, and the knife paused in mid-air. Mu Yi had words in his mouth, his fingers kept changing, and the knife instantly became three feet bigger, drawing a graceful arc in the air, flying around him and returning to its original place, "snapping" and falling to the ground.
It was only about three breaths before and after, and Mu Yi's true qi was drained of ninety percent, and most of his divine consciousness was consumed, so it was basically impossible to continue. This result, of course, was expected by the old ghost, and it was also reasonable.
Mu Yi no longer paid attention to the small knife magic weapon, and sat down cross-legged to exercise pranayama and restore the consumed divine consciousness and true qi.
Exorcism, backed by divine consciousness and true qi, uses spells and fingers to drive various spiritual objects and manipulate them against enemies or for their own use.
Mu Yi has no other sword tricks and spells, only relying on exorcism and manipulating magic weapons to fight the enemy. In his impression, the level of the magic weapon is naturally the higher the better, and it is powerful and domineering to use, showing that his brother's ability is extraordinary. It's a pity that he forgot one thing, that is, his catties are not enough to do things beyond his ability. To put it bluntly, cultivation is not enough.
The old ghost said that he had failed to transform the Divine Tribulation, that is to say, he was in the realm of the Great Perfection of the Yuan Infant Stage, and he would have to live at least a thousand years or more, or even longer. Even if he has cultivated for a thousand years, how many ups and downs he has to go through, how can he not have a few sets of sword techniques and magic spells in his hand, it's not that he doesn't want to take them out, but Mu Yi's cultivation is too low, and giving it to him will hurt him.
The original intention of the old ghost was to let Mu Yi start from a young age, grow up little by little, and accumulate enough experience. Instead of riding a roller coaster as fast as he could, let alone playing a triple jump so far, that would not do him any good, it would only ruin himself.
Opening his eyes, Mu Yi pondered slightly, and he understood the old ghost's hard work, and he was not discouraged, and continued to practice the exorcism technique. However, this time, the rules were in order, and the three medium-grade magic weapons were taken out, a standard flying sword was chosen, and they practiced carefully.
The reason why Mu Yi chose the flying sword is that the flying sword is popular and does not attract people's attention. The second is that the flying sword can not only fight the enemy, but also control the flight, killing two birds with one stone. The third is that the flying sword is in the magic weapon, and its volume is the smallest, and the weight should be the lightest, which is the best target to control.
It's been five months in a flash, and the three auxiliary spells have been greatly accomplished, Mu Yi still has no intention of getting out of the level, and then begins to cultivate the second potential of the Nine Potentials. The first trend has been accomplished, and the benefits are obvious, and it is natural to look forward to it more and more.
His face was sweating profusely, his whole body was already soaked, this pose had been in this position for a long time, at least two hours, Mu Yi was able to do this, it took a month of hard work. From two or three breaths at the beginning, to one hundred breaths, Mu Yi used it for twenty days. Then starting from the hundred breaths, running the practice route, opening up the meridians one by one, it took another ten days to have today's results.
Illustrating the practice route of the Nine Potentials, all of them are some cold and abnormal meridians, all of which are small meridians hidden in flesh and blood, which are particularly difficult to open. And when the meridians are opened, the pain in the body is almost unbearable, which makes people very painful, and they want to pass out.
Mu Yi has this idea every day, hoping that he faints happily, but he is always pressed down by him. It's nothing to suffer a little bit of hardship and sin, as long as you can cultivate this exercise well, you will be satisfied. After all, if you have to endure hardship, you will become a superior person!
One day four months later, Mu Yi was still cultivating on the ground in a strange posture. It's just that in the next moment, his painful and distorted face melted in an instant, and turned into an incomparably enjoyable countenance, as if caressed by the warm spring breeze, leaving countless good memories.
At this point, the second potential of the illustrated nine potentials of his cultivation can be regarded as a small success. And the arrival of this moment made his brain extremely clear, it was never clear, as if there were any difficulties that could not stop him, and no flaws could escape his eyes. This sudden change came inexplicably and unusually, Mu Yi thought about it, and had a bold guess in his heart, but it still took time to confirm.
In a water archery technique, Mu Yi cleaned himself up, changed into a set of clothes, and sat on the boulder and fell into deep thought.
It stands to reason that he has entered the peak of the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and it has been more than a year, but he has never been able to touch the bulging feeling of the dantian, this phenomenon is a bit abnormal. Does that mean...... It's hard to say, maybe it's just a bottleneck, go ask the old ghost?
On the dragon spirit fruit tree, the old ghost hid in the dragon spirit fruit core to recover, and when he noticed Mu Yi's arrival, the soul shadow slowly floated out: "Why is it so leisurely today, don't you need to practice?"
"Old ghost, I may be in trouble, I've hit a bottleneck......" Mu Yi said uneasily, seeking a solution.
The old ghost listened to him quietly, "poof" happy, and asked Mu Yi after a while: "Boy, do you know what the bottleneck is?"
Mu Yi was stunned, as if he really didn't know this problem, and arched his hand to the old ghost and said, "Please advise!"
The old ghost didn't sell it, and explained directly: "The bottleneck is just a person's psychological baggage, and if you want to unlock the bottleneck, you have to get rid of this burden." Boy, you can't just do penance, it's time to go out and have a look. To experience the beauty of the world! To feel the world is hot and cold! If you don't want to be a flower in a greenhouse, go and experience the baptism of the cultivation realm, it will surprise you. Hahaha!"
"What do you mean...... Is it for me to go through the experience?" Mu Yi was a little confused.
"Yes, are you ready, boy, go to battle, go crazy, and then everything will be different!" replied the old ghost, and encouraged him to go through it.
Mu Yi stroked his forehead, didn't continue the topic, and turned out of the space.
He had to think about it, it all came so suddenly, he really wasn't ready for it. He is not afraid of training, let alone death, he is already a person who has died once, and he has no fear in the face of death. He just wants to do the plan in his heart well, and he wants to make everything more perfect.
Still sitting on the big rock, Mu Yi sat with his head down for an hour. Slowly, there was a glint in his eyes, and his gaze gradually became determined, as if he had made up his mind.
Turned around and entered the stone space again, took out the talismans in the storage bag, and asked the old ghost to help identify them one by one, as well as how to use them, Mu Yi placed them in different categories, and then took out the ones that were not used in the storage bag and placed them next to the teleportation array in the space.
"Huh, boy, where did you get the silver snake skin and Nedan?" Seeing Mu Yi get rid of the things he didn't need, the old ghost made a discovery.
"Oh, I killed it, and I killed it right here, what's wrong?" Mu Yi didn't raise his head and continued to sort out the storage bag.
"What are you talking about, you killed this silver snake, aren't you bragging? This is a third-order demon beast, equivalent to a monk at the beginning of the foundation building period, and you can't kill it now, let alone you earlier. The old ghost seemed to be very angry, probably thinking that Mu Yi was not telling the truth.
Mu Yi was a little speechless, thinking that what a big deal, do you need to make a fuss? So he explained to the old ghost: "About six years ago, I just ran out of the house......
The old ghost didn't bother him, and after listening to him in one breath, he couldn't help but sigh: "Heaven is unfair! How could a ten-year-old kid, still a mortal, kill a demon beast......?
Mu Yi didn't dare to answer, and listened with black lines on his face.
"No, it's still not, you take out the little dagger you used at that time and I'll take a look?" the old ghost continued to pester.
Mu Yi was helpless, so he took out the small dagger that emitted blue light and threw it on the ground.
The old ghost floated over, and only after a while did he speak: "That's right! Only this kind of spiritual weapon can hurt that third-order demon beast." Third-order demon beasts, ordinary martial arts masters, can't break through its defenses. ”
"You say this little dagger is a spiritual weapon?" Mu Yi was stunned.
"That's right! This is not only a spiritual weapon, but also a medium-grade spiritual weapon, do you have an opinion?" the old ghost's tone turned cold, dare not believe his eyesight?
"No, no. I'm just wondering, how could Blacksmith Li have a spiritual weapon?" Mu Yi didn't understand a little, and suddenly a bright light flashed in his mind, and he grabbed the key point like a cloud: "I understand, no wonder Li Tieniu went to my house to find me, Bacheng went for this spiritual weapon." ”
really let Mu Yi guess correctly, Li Tieniu went to him for this spiritual weapon. On the bright side, he was embarrassed to turn his face directly, he planned to steal it back, or to get it after knocking Mu Yi unconscious, but he didn't expect to suddenly receive an order from his master and left in a hurry, which saved Mu Yi's trouble.
"Alright, get ready, let's go tomorrow. Mu Yi made the final decision. He can understand the thoughts of the old ghost, and also understand the expectations of the old ghost, it is not enough to just say that he does not practice, he must have actual combat experience, and only by experiencing the baptism of blood can he really grow up.
