Round 3: Talent 1.4.4

In the year 272 of the Xuanyuan calendar, the Five Holy Clans.

The orange-yellow morning sun is rising, everything is awake and vibrant, the pedestrians on the street come and go, all busy for their goals, within the yellow-white walls, through the lush plum forest, around the vast stone pavilion courtyard, condensed all kinds of strange atmospheres, sometimes hot, sometimes cold, sometimes howling, sometimes wind and thunder, and the resulting various colors of light are reflected on the original pure wall. The top of the stone pavilion courtyard is covered with a layer of arc-shaped transparent light cover, shining in the sunlight, sometimes encountering a breeze blowing, flooding a ** aura, like a dragonfly on the surface of a calm lake, diverging in all directions.

"That's the Wuhua Imperial Qi Cover cast by Master," Xia Qing pointed to the light shield and explained to Haizhi, "'Wuhua' is the highest level of the Five Elements Spells, the so-called 'Wuhua' is a spell that fuses the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth together and then casts it, and this Wuhua Imperial Qi Cover can absorb all the Five Elements Spells lower than it, so we can practice casting spells here at will without causing any damage to the outside of the village." As soon as the words fell, a large fireball blasted towards the light mask, and the moment it touched the light mask, it was like a large stone thrown into the sea, the surface was wrinkled, and then a small wave appeared, and the fireball gradually turned into multiple light veins that extended in all directions with the waves, and the light veins became longer and longer, and at the same time became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared, and the light mask regained its calm.

"That's amazing......" Haizhi watched the change of the light mask and admired from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, don't be in a daze anymore!" Xia Qing pouted and said to Haizhi, "I'll teach you the most basic spells from today onwards, listen carefully to Haoluo!"

Haizhi was shocked by Xia Qing's words, so he woke up from his state of amazement, and promised repeatedly: "Yes! Yes, sister, please...... No, please give me advice!"

Hearing someone call her senior sister so seriously, Xia Qing immediately became proud, and a smile rushed from her heart to her throat, but she immediately reached out to cover her mouth and suppressed the laughter, but her face still showed two small dimples.

Hai Zhi was puzzled and asked worriedly, "Are you okay, senior sister?"

"Hmm!" A low and deafening voice suddenly came from behind her, which immediately made her frightened, Xia Qing knew that this was the master's reprimand for her, so she didn't dare to slack off, immediately straightened her waist, coughed a few times, and said seriously: "Last time, the master has told you that the five elements of qi are contained in the five organs, so if you want to perform the five elements of the technique, you must first transport the five elements of qi in the five organs, that is, 'luck', this is the "luck formula" that the master asked me to give you, you take a look at it first, and then recite it in your heart as soon as possible." With that, Xia Qing took out a scroll and handed it to Haizhi.

Haizhi opened the scroll, there were five short texts, which were the most basic spell formulas of the five elements, and Haizhi only needed to memorize the two luck formulas of Jin Xing and Huo Xing, so he remembered it in a blink of an eye, Jin Xing had a small thunder ball and a small wind shield, and Huo Xing had a small fireball, and he closed the scroll with both hands and said to Xia Qing: "Remember!"

Xia Qing responded with a smile: "Very good, you now silently recite the mantra of the little fireball, and try to release the fire qi hidden in your heart from the palm of your hand." ”

Hai Zhi nodded, stretched out his right hand, and silently repeated the mantra in his heart, after reciting it a few times, Hai Zhi felt that a hot breath in his heart suddenly condensed, and slowly spread to the surroundings of his body, from his chest to his neck, and then to his cheeks, gradually reddening and heating.

"Quick! release the fire from the palm of your hand, or you will die of heat!" Xia Qing said anxiously as she looked at Haizhi's red cheeks. Hai Zhi took a deep breath and tended the fire qi to his right hand, only to see that his arm quickly turned red, and when it reached the palm of his hand, it was even more red, and all the green muscles and blood vessels burst out, and a trace of air flowed out of the palm, making the air above slowly surge and become blurred.

"It's so hot! my hands are so hot!" Haizhi cried out in pain with his eyes closed.

Xia Qing was shocked when she saw this, grabbed Haizhi's arm that looked like it had been roasted, and shouted: "Frost Flow!" A snow-white air flow erupted from her palm, quickly wrapping Haizhi's arm, and then quickly forming a thin layer of ice, which immediately melted into water and dripped from Haizhi's arm as soon as it encountered hot air.

"How's it going?, is it still hot?" Xia Qing said anxiously.

Haizhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, exhaled heavily, and replied as if he had been reborn, "It's okay...... It's okay, it's okay...... There is a senior sister here. ”

"Now you should understand why only the people of the Five Holy Clans can practice the Five Elements Spell, this is a talent! Walking against the sky will only ask for hardship!" An arrogant voice came from behind them, and when they looked back, it turned out to be Jie Ao, and he continued, "Birds fly in the sky, fish swim in the water, this is a fateful thing." ”

When Hai Zhi heard this, he was immediately silent, his head lowered, Xia Qing saw that the situation was not good, and thought that he had tried his best to cheer up Hai Zhi, but he was splashed with ice water by Jie Ao, and responded angrily: "Senior brother, what are you talking about? Why do you think that Hai Zhi must not be able to learn, the early bird has worms, as long as you are willing to work hard and work hard, you will be fine!"

Jie Ao sighed and said, "Xiao Qing, you haven't mastered the new spell that Master just taught recently, right? You are one of the few people who haven't mastered it, and you can still guide the little junior brother so leisurely?" Xia Qing heard Jie Ao's refutation like this, and opened her mouth wide but she had nothing to say. "You also saw Haizhi's painful appearance just now, if you don't want to kill him, you should stop practicing like this immediately!"

"But, Haizhi ...... I...... I ......" Xia Qing squeaked. Haizhi stood aside, the shadow of disappointment covering his entire body.

Jie Ao walked up to Haizhi, patted his hands on his shoulders and said, "You really want to learn the Five Elements Spell?"

Haizhi slowly raised his head, and his eyes were red, and he nodded gently.

"No matter what the outcome is, do you have to learn?" asked Jie Ao.

"Hmm!"

"Okay, I'll teach you next," Jie Ao continued, "The casting of the Five Elements Spell has a fatal weakness, that is, the luck time is too long, and the more high-level the spell, the longer the time, which is extremely easy to be counterattacked by the opponent in actual combat and lead to defeat, so it is necessary to greatly shorten the time of luck, and flush the Five Elements Qi out of the body from the five organs in a very short time, this is ' Chongguan luck method', if you master this luck method, you can transport it out of the body before the body is corroded by the five elements qi, so as to cast spells smoothly, of course, since you can only use meridian luck, so even if you use the chongguan luck method, you can only cast the lowest level of spells, presumably the master also told you. Hearing this, the boulder that Haizhi hung high on the top of his throat fell, and the ups and downs of his mood changed so that he almost collapsed.

"Senior Brother Xie...... I will definitely do my best to learn and live up to my brother's teachings!" Haizhi said in that excited and trembling voice.

"You don't have to thank me, the Champion Luck Method is not so easy to learn, it took me three months to master, you have to be prepared to study hard. Jie Ao continued, "In fact, the mantra of this luck method is not difficult to remember, the difficulty is that it has to be matched with the five elements of luck mantra, it is useless to say more, I will pass on your mantra first, let you try it yourself to understand." After speaking, Jie Ao dictated the mantra of the Chongguan luck method to Haizhi, and it was indeed not difficult to say that this mantra was even easier than the mantra of the small fireball.

Jie Ao then instructed: "Okay, then you first silently recite the small fireball mantra, and after the fire qi is transported out of the heart, immediately recite the chongguan luck mantra silently, and flush the fire qi out of the palm." After speaking, Haizhi did as ordered, but as soon as the mantra came out, Haizhi felt a wave of heat rushing straight to his palm, but he was blocked by something and immediately rushed back to his heart, choking him and coughing bitterly.

"Your meridians are still very weak, and you can't even rush out of the small fireball's fireball, it seems that you have to put aside the small fireball technique first, transport the minimum amount of fireball qi out, and then use the Chongguan luck method to slowly flush your meridians alive, otherwise your heart can't withstand a few backlashes. Jie Ao said.

"Yes, I remember!" replied Haizhi dryly. Xia Qing saw on the side that Jie Ao taught carefully, and Haizhi also learned carefully, although the progress was slow, he was able to let go of his heart.

At the end of the day's practice, it was already evening, after saying goodbye to the Dao Ju one by one, all the disciples left the school one after another, and when Xia Qing pulled Haizhi and was about to leave, Jie Ao suddenly stopped: "Xiaoqing, do you have time tonight? Come to the Patriarch's Palace, I want to ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Qing followed and said, "I'm sorry senior brother, I still have something to do tonight, next time!" After speaking, he pulled Haizhi and left the school without looking back, Jie Ao looked at Xia Qing's figure, revealing a trace of displeasure......

As soon as they got home and finished eating, Hai Zhi and Xia Qing both ran out of the house, and before the rice bowl and chopsticks were stable, there was no one, and Xia En was still wondering at the dinner table: What happened to these two children today? Hai Zhi ran to the beach in one breath, took a deep breath, and continued to practice the mantra taught by Jie Ao, thinking that he must do his best to practice, so as not to disappoint everyone! I don't know how long he practiced, Hai Zhi began to feel tightness in his chest and palpitations, and he broke out in a cold sweat, and suddenly lost strength in his legs and feet, and fell down.

"Haizhi!" Xia Qing walked over as she ran, "I knew you were here, really, just run around without saying hello!"

Haizhi gasped and said, "I'm sorry...... I was just...... It's just that I want to study more......"

"Cultivation must be gradual!" Xia Qing said with a serious face, "If you excessively consume the Five Elements Qi, you will cause the Five Elements Qi to fail and die, and then you will also die!

Hearing Xia Qing's words, Haizhi couldn't help but lose his color, jumped up, bent down and said to Xia Qing: "I don't dare anymore!

Seeing Haizhi's reaction so great, he knew that what he said was too much, so he immediately comforted him and said, "Okay, as long as you listen to me and can't be in a hurry, of course I won't stop your practice." Haizhi was relieved, sat on the beach, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hands, "Look at the tired ......" Xia Qing said while taking out a few fresh branches with small red fruits from the cloth bag, "This is Schisandra, eat it quickly." When Haizhi saw these bright and dripping fruits, he felt that his mouth was dry, and he hurriedly thanked Xia Qing and then took those branches, pulled out the fruits and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Wow, what a weird smell, what is this?" Haizhi opened his mouth wide and cried out repeatedly.

Xia Qing pointed to his mouth and said: "Don't spit it out, you have to chew the flesh and core before swallowing it, this schisandra has five flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, which can replenish the qi of the five elements, although you only consume the fire qi, but the qi of the five elements is mutually influencing and converting to each other, so it must be supplemented with the five qi to be effective." ”

"Okay, I'll eat, I'll eat!" Hai Zhi agreed, and then closed his eyes and desperately chewed the unpalatable schisandra, and at the end of eating, Hai Zhi felt that his whole mouth was paralyzed and unconscious, and he stuck out his tongue like a puppy and looked at Xia Qing pitifully, making Xia Qing laugh. At some point, there was an additional figure on the back of a tree behind them, scratching at the bark with his fingers, so hard that the green tendons bulged out.

Under the guidance of Jie Ao and Xia Qing, Haizhi's cultivation gradually improved, but after all, the Chongguan luck method was extraordinary, and it was not easy for him without the slightest foundation, and it took two years to finally cast the lowest level of the spell: the small fireball.
