Chapter 12: Early Spring
In early spring, the snow melts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Lu Xian carried a demon bell, with 'hemlock charms' and 'speed charms' attached to his body, jumping up and down in the mountains and forests.
Behind her, there were a large number of first-order spirits in a berserk state. One of them was a porcupine chasing her while shooting spikes from her body. These thorns have good attack power, and those big trees in the forest that can't be hugged by two people will be pierced through a thin hole. But the spikes hit Lu Xian, who had the hemlock talisman amulet, only destroyed her clothes, making a sound of hitting the metal, and it didn't hurt her too much.
"It hurts!" Lu Xian, who was shot, screamed, and there was a feeling of being hit by a hammer. The number of spirits chasing her slowly increased, reaching twenty. "Enough. Thinking so, Lu Xian turned a right angle in the mountains and forests and ran towards the ambush circle set up by Lin Yuan.
The ambush circle was just a very ordinary forest, and after Lu Xian ran over, he stopped using the demon bell, and silently recited the 'Ancient Vine Armor Technique' in his hand pinching method. This spell was left by Luo Hengzhi, and she had already used it very skillfully after this winter.
The spirits chased after the remnants of the Demon Bell, and Lu Xian stood there, a few thick vines breaking through the ground under her feet, growing around her in a circle, completely enveloping her.
Just when the spirits were confused, several trees suddenly exploded, killing them all on the spot. And Lu Xian, who was wrapped in rattan armor, said that although he was deep in the center of the explosion, he only felt some tinnitus slightly, and he was not injured by the explosion.
The explosion caused by the wood spirit technique mainly depends on the content of the wood spirit energy in the explosives. The kind of wooden magic weapon of the fairy boat is full of spiritual energy, and it is very powerful to explode. The explosion of these trees with little aura is just right against mortals and low-level spirits, and it is almost useless for monks who have means of defense.
After making sure that all the spirits were dead, Lin Yuan got out from behind a tree, walked up to Lu Xian, who was wrapped in vines, and knocked her. The latter heard the rhythmic 'knock on the door' and ordered the vines to let go of themselves.
"How's the harvest?" As soon as Lu Xian came out, he asked Lin Yuan excitedly about the results of the battle.
"Twenty-three, a good harvest!"
"So many, let's do it again!"
This winter, the two of them relied on the spiritual power brought by the spirit crystal nucleus, and both advanced to the third layer of the qi training period. The two of them are casual cultivators, but they have a cultivation speed that ordinary casual cultivators can't even dream of.
According to the Immortal Chronicles, the first three layers of the Qi cultivation period are known as the initial stage of Qi training, which is the easiest stage to cultivate. At this stage, as long as the monk's body is full of spiritual energy, it is not difficult to advance no matter how qualified he is. However, after breaking through to the fourth layer of the Qi cultivation period, the aura required for cultivation will increase significantly, and it will become several times more difficult to replenish foreign objects.
The crystal nucleus has many uses, it can be used to refine medicine and refining tools, and it can also be replenished by aura by taking it directly. Compared to spirit stones, this kind of aura that is swallowed directly into the stomach is easier to control, but the price of the crystal nucleus is slightly higher. The crystal nucleus, which may be worth two spirit stones, can only have the effect of one spirit stone in cultivation.
Throughout the winter, Lin Yuan and Lu Xian had been using the two demon bells to hunt spirits, and the rest of the time they were practicing exercises and spells. The Qi Condensation Sutra had already been cultivated by them to the second layer, and the sea of qi was a little thicker.
This exercise is longer than the construction of the qi sea and belongs to the health preservation exercise. The more upward you cultivate, the larger the scale of the Qi Sea. Even if you cultivate to the foundation building stage and complete all the nine-layer exercises, it will have no effect other than expanding the sea of qi. After all, it's just an introductory exercise.
In terms of spells, Lu Xian learned two more in addition to the fire summoning technique. One is the ancient vine armor technique that I used just now, summoning those dry and tough vines from under my feet to protect my own defensive spells. There is also the 'Spiritual Light Elimination Technique', which does not belong to the Five Elements Exercise, and after use, it can hide the aura in the monk's chest when casting the spell, so that the monk can do things in a more low-key manner.
Lin Yuan had already mastered all six of the Ancient Vine Sect's wood-based techniques, and the rest of his time was spent studying the 'Spiritual Light Elimination Technique'. He had practiced for less than two days in the wood system, and he had easily completed the cultivation of the first layer of the spell. It's kind of a good thing to learn. But that aura fainting technique, he had only learned it for the first two days, and he basically did it.
The innate power brought by Qifan Grass is already obvious--Wood Specialization. Although it was not beneficial to cultivation, it allowed Lin Yuan to obtain an unparalleled affinity for wood aura, allowing him to easily get started with all wood-based spells without consuming aura when using them.
Today is the last hunting time for the two, and after they are busy, Lu Xian wants to go back to the village, which can be regarded as returning to his hometown in fine clothes. And live there for a while.
At the beginning, she came to the town of cyclamen to apprentice, and she took the money collected by the villagers. Now that I have finally achieved something, I have to repay them.
The two of them worked hard for a day, and only returned to the cave where their younger brother Lin Ye was buried before the sun set. They ate the spirit meat for dinner, and by the way, they took stock of today's harvest.
Lin Yuan: "The income of the crystal nucleus is a little more than a hundred." Fifteen unknown spirit grasses. That's it. ā
Lin Yuan relied on the 'Wood Spirit Technique' to be able to see the spiritual energy content in the plant. Therefore, he was able to find those plants with abundant spiritual energy in his body, and these plants must belong to spiritual herbs that could be used in medicine.
Lu Xian can't memorize the naturalist chapter of "Immortal Things", she can remember the words, but the pictures on the naturalist chapter are powerless. If you want to know the name, function and rarity of these spirit grasses, you have to go to Miss Guan Qi to get a book to compare. This winter, the two found more than 500 spirit grasses, all of which they had pulled down and stuffed into storage bags.
Time stands still in the Immortal Storage Bag. The spirit grass will not lose its spiritual power if it is placed in it, and it is safe and secure.
The two of them used Luo Hengzhi's storage bag, and all the things they harvested were divided equally. Tomorrow Lu Xian is leaving, Lin Yuan turned out Kong Bujie's storage bag, and the word 'hole' embroidered on the belt has been removed. He took a dagger and a jewel from inside. The dagger can slash with a good power of thunder, and the orb can heal some minor injuries.
Lin Yuan: "These two, you can take them for protection." Be careful. ā
Lu Xian generously accepted it, Lin Yuan still had other magic weapons from Kong Bujie in his pocket that could be used, and she was not worried.
"I need these two things very much, go back to the village and put them on the immortals. Just borrow it from you, and we'll see you at Miss Seven's house on the summer solstice!"
After Lu Xian finished speaking, she put a speed talisman on her body, and she planned to rush overnight to return to the village tomorrow morning. Outside the cave, the two said goodbye. This winter of cohabitation made the two say all the things they could say, and at this time there were only some lines like 'take care, goodbye' to say goodbye.
Although they didn't say anything, the two didn't feel embarrassed. Friends are like this, they can get along peacefully, and they don't need to go through the trouble of finding a topic to chat with each other.
ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼
In the early morning of the second day after Lu Xian left, Lin Yuan manipulated the ancient vine armor technique to summon tree vines and seal the entrance to the cave where he had lived for a winter. Then he relied on the running speed brought by the speed talisman to go down the mountain, and when he arrived, he blew up the woods outside the town where Luo Hengzhi had been blown up.
It's easy to find, and the most bald area in the woods is there.
He found the point of the explosion, estimated the day, took out the double-ended serpentine, and drew a circle. The charging time of this stone is still a bit random, and it took three months to charge this time.
And just like that, a replica of the Breeze Boat that had been blown up arrived.
Lin Yuan is now sixteen years old, and although he is a monk, he is only a big child. He liked this light wind boat very much, otherwise he would not have chosen to give up copying those spirit grasses that had been accumulated in his pockets for a long time and copy this thing. He now needs to use foreign objects to improve his cultivation realm, and the light wind boat is not necessary.
After getting the treasure, he immediately got into it, trying to start it. Flying in the sky is everyone's dream, and it seems to him that this dream is about to come true. It's a pity that this thing can't be used casually, and it's better not to take it out in Cyclamen Town, it's too eye-catching. When I return to the town and see Miss Guan Qi, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to play.
The use of the light wind boat is very simple, put the spirit stone in a groove in the boat to supplement its power, and then use its own aura to manipulate it.
Lin Yuan, who had drilled into the interior of the Light Wind Boat, eagerly put the spirit stone away, and then he found a line of words engraved near the groove of the spirit stone.
This winter, he followed Lu Xian to recognize a lot of words, and it would be a shame if he couldn't even recognize all the words as a monk. Looking at those words, reading through them, it seems to be a kind of wood-based escape technique, which should be left by the previous owner of this light wind boat, and the owner other than Luo Hengzhi. It is said that this thing was found from the treasure house of the Ancient Teng Sect, and because the grade was not high, it was thrown to Luo Hengzhi, the little junior brother, by the domineering senior brother and sister.
To Lin Yuan's surprise, his first feeling after seeing this wood-based spell turned out to be that this spell was a bit difficult. He had already learned six wood-based spells from the Ancient Vine Sect, and in addition to the Ancient Vine Armor Technique, there were also Grass Blade Technique, Leaf Cloak, Vine Puppet Technique, Fujiki Great Array, and Fujiki War Song.
Almost all of them rely on wood-based aura to strengthen themselves, and then rush up to fight the enemy. It's easy to learn to the extent that you can use it once, and after using it three times, you'll be very proficient.
I find it difficult to ...... the wood system exercises This is the first time this has happened. But I can barely understand it. This difficulty piqued Lin Yuan's interest, and he pinched the finger to control the operation of the aura according to the description in the law decision, and failed to cast it for the first time. Again, there was still no response, but it made him feel some doorways.
"I will succeed next time!"
Lin Yuan muttered to himself to increase his self-confidence and once again cast a law decision. As he had spoken, the spell was successfully activated, and two thick, dry vines grew from the ground in front of the fairy boat, coiling like a snake into an arch. There is also a curtain of finely shredded rattan attached to the door, which hangs there to block the door.
ā...... This is?" Lin Yuan, a rookie monk, had no idea what was going on in front of him. Before he could think about whether or not to enter the door, the boat moved on its own and headed towards the arch. The light wind boat that passed through the curtain vanished in its place, disappearing between heaven and earth, and the arch withered away.
The light wind boat piloted by Lin Yuan appeared in a narrow mountain abyss, flanked by mountain walls that were so high that no top could be seen, and the fog was thick underneath. Apparently taken to an unfamiliar area by this retreat.
The light wind boat that had just been autonomous, suddenly switched to manual mode, and Lin Yuan, who was not very familiar with how to operate it, tried to make the boat climb up, and he wanted to leave here and go to the ground. At first, it was operated well, and the light wind boat slowly and steadily went up, but it didn't last a long time before it went wrong. Due to the aura's manipulation of food, the Light Wind Boat suddenly accelerated forward and crashed directly into the cliff.
This boat itself has a body protection spell, and it is much stronger than the stone mountain wall. However, such a collision made Lin Yuan, a novice boatman, panic, and the fairy boat fell all the way down the cliff and went straight to the bottom of the abyss full of dense fog.
"It's over, it's dead!!"
Lin Yuan sat in the breeze boat, and couldn't even tell the difference between up and down, left and right. Several attempts to stabilize the boat had the opposite effect, speeding up the fall.
"Do you want to abandon the boat and escape??" Lin Yuan thought. It was better for him to climb up to the rock wall and slowly descend than to just dive headlong into it.
"No!" This mountain abyss looks very strange, there is no top of the top, who knows how deep it is below? This light wind boat has its own defense...... "It's better to trust this defense spell!"
As he spoke, he pasted two hemlock talismans on his chest, and used the Ancient Vine Armor Technique. Countless vines suddenly grew on the light wind boat, firmly surrounding the entire boat and tying it into a ball. In this way, the vine ball smashed through the mist of the mountain abyss to the very bottom. Lin Yuan was sealed in the vine and didn't know anything, only to feel a sudden violent vibration, and then a sharp pain in his chest, and the light wind boat seemed to land on the ground.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" he comforted himself, taking out a spirit grass from his storage bag and swallowing it. Although I don't know what the name of this grass is, I try it a little as a vegetable in winter, and it seems to be able to help heal the wound, so I put these same spirit grasses together and put them away in case of emergency.
At the bottom of the abyss is a world of greenery, and you don't feel the gloomy feeling of early spring before everything recovers, even though the temperature here is extremely low.
The 'rattan ball' smashed firmly into the ground, but fortunately, the soil was soft, and the 'rattan ball' fell into it without much damage.
After lying on the ground for a cup of tea, the vines on the breeze boat slowly receded. Lin Yuan was shocked and vomited blood just now, and now he was almost recovered, put away the ancient vine armor technique, and crawled out of the pit with a dirty face. As soon as he came out of the pit, he saw this strange scenery at the bottom of the abyss. The lack of sunlight all year round and extremely low temperatures make the plants here completely different from those on the ground. Although the vegetation is lush and there are many species, none of them are known to Lin Yuan.
Seeing this scene, the first thing he did was to pinch up the Wood Spirit Spell, observe the aura of the nearby grass and trees, and see if there was any spirit grass in this no-man's land. As soon as he began to observe, he saw a huge green wood aura floating there not far away.
When I looked closely, the owner of the aura was not a plant or tree, but a human wearing a heavy leaf cloak, an unkempt and messy hair...... Monk? or a savage?
Lin Yuan wasn't sure if this person was friend or foe, but he looked about the same age as himself, and he was staring at him with curiosity. There's also a piece of information that's not very important -- this guy...... It's a girl.
