57 low-key disciples
Although quicksand is listed as the most basic earth-based spell, there is actually no limit to the amount of power. During the Qi refining period, one layer can create a quicksand vortex the size of a sea bowl. By the time he reached the third layer of the Qi Refining Period, he was already able to turn the quicksand vortex into a square circle.
The higher the cultivation, the greater the power.
Once ordinary mortals and beasts fall into it, it is difficult to escape being buried alive.
However, Ye Qin easily discovered that this earth-based spell had two very weak points. One is that it takes a long time to cast spells, and the formation of spells is too slow, and by the time the spell is completed, I am afraid that the enemy will have already disappeared. The second is that once the spell is cast, its position is fixed, and the breath is very conspicuous, and the discerning person knows its existence at a glance.
If two immortal cultivators were also fighting, if they saw each other casting this spell, they would naturally not run stupidly into the quicksand whirlpool. Therefore, even though it is very powerful and not less lethal than other offensive basic spells, it has very little effect, and is only classified as a secondary spell to hinder the enemy's movement, and is not included in the offensive spell.
After Ye Qin roughly mastered the Wind Resisting Technique, the Wind Binding Technique, and the Quicksand Technique, he enthusiastically tried the Earth Escape Technique, the Water Escape Technique, the Wood Escape Technique, and the Winding Technique.
Earth Escape, Water Escape, and Wood Escape belong to earth, water, and wood spells, respectively. The casting environment is different, but they all serve the same purpose, both of which are used to escape, moving at high speeds on land, in water, and in the woods.
Once cast, the caster can disappear from the spot in a single breath, burrow into the earth, water, and wood, and then appear dozens of feet away. In contrast, the Wind Resisting Technique could only fly a few zhang away in a single breath, which was more than ten times worse than the escape distance of the Earth Escape Technique, the Water Escape Technique, and the Wood Escape Technique.
Of course, in order to drill through the soil and water, the mana consumed by the Earth Escape Technique and the Water Escape Technique is far higher than that of the Wind Resisting Technique, and the immortal cultivators of the third layer of the Qi Refining Period will exhaust their mana if they perform the Earth Escape Technique more than ten times in a row.
This spell is usually used to save lives only in dangerous situations.
The last one is the Winding Spell, a wood-based spell. Inject mana into the vine and control the vine to imprison the opponent's actions in a winding manner. The power of this spell is not only related to mana, but also directly related to the grass species and the tenacity of the grass vine itself. Using ordinary grass seeds, the effect of the Winding Technique is not very good
Ye Qin lived in a simple house, going back and forth between the medicine collection hall and his private courtyard every day, meditating on the cultivation exercises of the third layer of "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra and Sitting and Looking at the Selfless", as well as a few spells he had just learned.
During this time, as the Yaowang Gang medicinal materials and drug trading event was approaching, the number of characters in the rivers and lakes in Zhuqi County increased greatly.
Incidents such as fighting and causing trouble in taverns and inns naturally emerge in endlessly, and restaurants and inns are often smashed. There are even some bloody vendettas in which enemies in the rivers and lakes meet each other and draw swords against each other.
As the host of the local area, the Medicine Collecting Hall has an unshirkable responsibility for this, and has successively issued several orders prohibiting armed fighting, and sent disciples in the hall to mediate the frequent incidents of armed fighting in various parts of the city, and the tasks of the disciples in the hall have become increasingly onerous.
Even a young disciple like Ye Qin, who had always been "extremely poor in martial arts" and "low-key and inconspicuous" in the hall, was also sent to perform various heavy tasks to maintain law and order in the county.
But despite this, fights and brawls in the county are still endless, and there is no ban. The Medicine Collecting Hall simply can't draw enough manpower to mediate, and the disciples in the sect can't even interfere with the arms fights of some Jianghu masters.
In order to reduce all kinds of private fights and sabotage incidents in Zhuqi County, the high-level leaders of the Medicine Collecting Hall decided to open a large-scale martial arts arena in the northwest area of the city, next to the trade market, for people in the rivers and lakes to openly compete, learn and compete. The Medicine Collecting Hall sent a security patrol team composed of young disciples to maintain order in the martial arts arena, arrange competitions, and be responsible for emergency treatment for those who were injured.
Whether it is a martial arts competition, a private fight, or revenge, just go to the martial arts arena to compete, and the medicine collection hall will no longer interfere.
This move of the medicine collection hall was very popular with the people in the rivers and lakes.
The hot-blooded people who caused trouble in various parts of Zhuqi County went to the martial arts arena to conduct open competitions.
These people who like to fight are mainly young high-rollers. Most of them simply want to make a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes, and want to establish their own prestige in the rivers and lakes when the Medicine King Gang holds a conference on medicinal materials and medicines, so they participate in the fight.
This move of the Medicine Picking Hall naturally did what it liked.
In order to establish their own prestige, young disciples from gangs from all over Pingzhou jumped into the ring one after another, challenging other gang disciples to compete with each other. They have learned martial arts for more than ten years, and they are all leaders in their respective gangs, and they think very highly of themselves, and they are at the hot-blooded age when they want to show their prestige in the rivers and lakes.
The real top masters of the rivers and lakes, as well as some masters in the prime of life and the elderly, often hold their own identities, but they will not easily stage martial arts competitions. They won those young students, and they were also suspected of not being able to win. If you lose, you will lose your worth, lose your prestige, and have great scruples.
As an apprentice of the Medicine Harvesting Hall, Ye Qin naturally needed to obey the arrangements of the head manager Zhang in the hall.
He was often assigned to the security patrol team, performing law and order maintenance tasks around the arena, or being assigned to do some menial chores.
But every time he carried out a security mission, Ye Qin was the most low-key and silent one. When encountering a fight, he never takes the initiative to step forward, let alone express himself. Even if someone was beaten to the death in front of him, Ye Qin immediately stood from a distance and watched coldly, without the slightest intention of stepping forward to dissuade him. And work is also the most hard-working one, and the assigned heavy chores are never picky.
His performance will inevitably be despised by some in the hall and regarded as a sign of cowardice.
Almost all the disciples of the outer hall and inner hall of the Medicine Picking Hall knew that he was cultivating a kind of kung fu that specialized in enhancing physical strength, and there was no force. Behind his back, he secretly ridiculed him for practicing scalping skills, and he only knew how to pull fields and farm, which was useless beyond that. If you want to stop the fighting in the county, you have to rely on these people with strong martial arts to take action.
For the sake of Ye Qin's usual hard work, carrying water and miscellaneous work, and being diligent in his miscellaneous work, no one would deliberately embarrass him.
There was a reason why Ye Qin was indifferent to the weapon fight. Since mastering the immortal family spells and trying their terrifying power, Ye Qin's vision has also greatly improved, and he really has no interest in interfering in these not very clever weapons.
He would rather work as a handyman while pondering the spells he had just learned, rather than waste his time on these hot-blooded young people who had nothing to do when they were well fed.
As for the cynicism of the disciples in the hall, they directly ignored it.
