Chapter Twenty-Four: Cultivating the Secret Arts

"The body of the heavenly spirit is also called the body of the spiritual penetration, and there is no difference between the cultivation of exercises and the law, but the power of the cultivator's heavenly mind of this physique is relatively strong, and once the cultivation begins, the mind can be released. However, people with this physique are only heard, and I don't know what is different. You can learn about it later, but the power of the mind is very beneficial for the use of some spells. Fire condensation is by no means something that can be cultivated in a short period of time, and the other three secret techniques can be cultivated first. Uncle Ma shook his head and said.

"Yes, Uncle Ma. Xiao Ling took out three more jade slips, put his mind down, and began to comprehend.

These three secret techniques are Vajra Cover, Yuan Cone Technique, and Talisman Control Technique. Vajra cover is a kind of defense secret technique, once the secret technique is urged, it can form a essence shield outside the body, this essence element cover is indestructible, comparable to a high-level defense magic weapon. Yuan Cone Technique is a kind of attack spell, which is to condense the essence into a shape and use it to attack, but the defect of this spell is that it requires too many essences, like the current Xiao Ling can only condense two or three needles at most, and the consumption of the essence is relatively large, but this spell is basically useless for the monks in the Qi Gathering Period, after all, the monks in the Qi Gathering Period can turn the true yuan into various attack artifacts in a single thought. As for the control of the charm, it is a method of quickly activating the charm and the attack and defense of the control charm, and the strong can control multiple charms at once.

Xiao Ling first comprehended the Yuan Cone Technique, after cultivating his body, the strength of his body was comparable to that of a middle-level defensive magic weapon, and the Vajra Cover was not in a hurry to cultivate, and now Xiao Ling needed the most effective attack, so the cultivation of the Yuan Cone Technique was very necessary.

Xiao Ling sank his mind into the jade slip, his brows furrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought. Uncle Ma looked at Xiao Ling, he knew that Xiao Ling had begun to comprehend now, but Xiao Ling's comprehension was good, and his comprehension might be much faster, and it took him half a day to comprehend a little, according to Uncle Ma's conjecture, Xiao Ling would take about two hours.

Half an hour later, Xiao Ling opened his eyes with some understanding. There are different magic decisions in his hands, and the techniques seem very jerky, and with the change of Xiao Ling's techniques, Xiao Ling's body begins to have strange fluctuations, and the fluctuations are gradually becoming stronger and condensed. Suddenly, the fluctuations disappear invisibly. Xiao Ling's brows furrowed, obviously there was a mistake in his previous movements, Xiao Ling lowered his head and pondered, carefully recalling the change of the technique just now and the flow and condensation of the essence in his body.

Uncle Ma looked at Xiao Ling's actions, and was a little dumbfounded for a while, obviously knowing that Xiao Ling would quickly comprehend the Fa Decision, but he didn't expect that he would understand it thoroughly in just half an hour. Although he failed, he could see the change of Xiao Ling's technique just now, although it seemed jerky, but he obviously realized that he had two days to be able to operate some techniques, and it was far from being familiar to Xiao Ling just now.

Uncle Ma couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Xiao Ling, he looked at Xiao Ling more and more, after all, if he helped Xiao Ling now, seeing that Xiao Ling's personality was the kind with clear grievances, he would definitely help himself in the future.

When Uncle Ma sighed, Xiao Ling began to try to condense the essence again, and the technique was slightly more skillful than just now, obviously the failure of the condensation last time still had some benefits for Xiao Ling. After a while, Xiao Ling's technique paused, and the essence that had just been somewhat condensed collapsed again.

Tried again and again, failed again and again, in just one day, Xiao Ling has tried nearly 100 times, but he still failed in the end, but every failure made Xiao Ling realize, and Xiao Ling's methods will be more skilled every time.

After failing again and again, Xiao Ling's mentality became more and more calm, and he knew that it was impossible for these things to be successful in a short period of time, otherwise it would be too easy to cultivate. However, Xiao Ling's spirit gradually withered at the end of the day, and so many attempts obviously consumed the essence of wanting to be a multi-essence. The next thing is to rest and recover, thinking about it, Xiao Ling raised his head and looked at Uncle Ma.

"Yes, yes, your comprehension and manipulation skills have far exceeded my expectations, and I think I will be able to cultivate in a few days. But you still have to recover now, otherwise you will really be counterattacked, and then the gains will outweigh the losses!" Uncle Ma said with a smile on his face.

"Thanks to Uncle Ma's support, if Xiao Ling hadn't had so much luck, he would have cultivated the secret art now!" Xiao Ling also said with a smile.

"You kid, your mouth is getting poorer and poorer!" Uncle Ma walked up to Xiao Ling with a smile and patted his head.

Uncle Ma's shot made Xiao Ling feel that the relationship between the two had taken a big step forward, and it also made Xiao Ling's heart warm slightly.

"But Xiao Ling, now I'll tell you about my experience in cultivating the Yuan Cone Technique. The Yuan Cone Technique is actually to condense the essence into shape, and under normal circumstances, most of the low-level forging period is condensed into the shape of the Yuan Cone or some sharp objects, so the attack power will be relatively concentrated. But after the Qi Gathering Period, generally with the support of the power of the True Yuan, the strength of the mana is much greater, and it will be condensed into some swords and other things. And the main point of cultivation of the Yuan Cone Technique is that the change of the technique must be consistent with the condensation of the essence in the body, I see that your attempt today, often fails because the change of the technique and the condensation of the essence are not too consistent, and if you want to be perfectly consistent with the two, there is no shortcut, you can only rely on your own practice, this is practice makes perfect. "Uncle Ma talked about it.

"Yes, Uncle Ma, I often have a technique sooner or later when condensing, and the essence is dissolved at this time, and I also realize that the two must be consistent with each other, but it is still quite difficult to control it in practice. When the mind notices the technique, it often can't pay too much attention to the essence condensation, so the difficulty of dual-use is quite difficult. Xiao Ling smiled bitterly.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to think of this, it seems that your gains today are also quite large. In fact, the power of your mind is beyond the same level, as long as the control of the power of your mind is strengthened, it is not difficult to divide the mind into two uses or even the mind to use multiple uses. It's just up to you to understand and manipulate it. ”

"I see. Xiao Ling was a little abrupt, he had no one to guide him on this matter, he only knew the simple truth of some ideas, attacking Xie Yan was still Xiao Ling's attempt on a whim when he was cultivating the alchemy technique, in fact, he was still quite unfamiliar with the use of the power of ideas.

Looking at Xiao Ling a little suddenly, Uncle Ma smiled heartily. Then he exchanged some of his own cultivation experience with Xiao Ling, but Uncle Ma did not forget to learn about Xiao Ling's cultivation experience in the art of body refining, after all, the current Xiao Ling's cultivation of the art of body refining has been slightly completed. In this way, the two communicated for a few hours, and the sky outside was already a little bright, and Uncle Ma left outside. And Xiao Ling closed his eyes to recuperate, and the surrounding heaven and earth essence qi continued to enter Xiao Ling's body, replenishing Xiao Ling's damaged essence.

Three hours later, Xiao Ling opened his eyes, and the essence in his eyes suddenly appeared, obviously the power of recovering the essence during this period of time was also completely recovered. After feeling the abundant energy and the power of the essence element, Xiao Ling began to cultivate the Yuan Cone Technique again.

Time passed little by little, and ten days passed in a blink of an eye, during which Xiao Ling tried nearly a thousand times, and Xiao Ling's methods became more and more skillful. The change of technique and the condensation of the essence are also more and more compatible, which is Xiao Ling's control of the power of the mind many times to achieve this effect, Xiao Ling is slightly happy in his heart.

Again, Xiao Ling began to try to condense the essence element, the technique in his hand was constantly changing, and the handful of essence qi in the dantian also began to flow with the change of technique.

The essence of the qi circulated in the body, gradually compressed, and faintly began to change and take shape. At this time, Xiao Ling's technique changed rapidly, and the essence of the essence qi had gradually condensed, flowing along the meridians in the body to the arm, and at this time, it was faintly visible like a thin long needle in Xiao Ling's arm, wanting to break through the skin.

The next moment, Xiao Ling's technique stopped, forming a strange knot, and the long needle in his arm broke out of Xiao Ling's palm and sank into the pillar in front of him.

"Bang"

The long needle pierced a small hole in the bluestone pillar and dissipated. Finally the condensation was successful, Xiao Ling was overjoyed, but although the condensation was successful, Xiao Ling still lacked control over the condensed long needle, and the degree of condensation of the long needle was still very illusory. These are all things that require constant practice, and only with constant practice can you be proficient in control, according to what Uncle Ma said, if you are successful in cultivation, you can condense into a weapon in an instant and launch an attack. However, Xiao Ling knew that he would definitely be able to.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Ling's body was a little weak and half lay down, although the long needles were condensed, but Xiao Ling's body essence qi was squeezed out at this time, and the power of the mind was also quite consumed after many trials. It will take at least a day or two to regain your spirits.

Two days later, Xiao Ling's spirit and spirit returned to their peak state, and in the past two days, Xiao Ling also had more insights into the Yuan Cone Technique. Looking at the essence and mind that he had recovered, Xiao Ling began to practice the Yuan Cone Technique, constantly becoming familiar with the Yuan Cone Technique, and with Xiao Ling's practice, the speed of condensing the long needle is getting faster and faster, although it is not up to the speed of the instantaneous attack that Uncle Ma said, but it has also reached the speed of the attack of several breaths, which is quite good to say.

The door of the hall opened silently, and Uncle Ma, who had disappeared for more than ten days, appeared in the side hall, looking at the Jingyuan long needle in front of Xiao Ling, he was stunned for a while, obviously surprised that Xiao Ling had cultivated the Yuan Cone Technique in more than ten days, and looking at the long needle stopped in front of Xiao Ling, it was obvious that Xiao Ling's control of the Yuan Cone Technique was quite proficient. It took Uncle Ma more than a month to condense the long needle for the first time, and there was a lot of luck in it.

After Xiao Ling saw Uncle Ma appear, his mind moved, and the long needle in front of him dissipated.

"Uncle Ma, hey, Uncle Ma's alchemy has begun to cultivate?" Xiao Ling looked at the yellow glow that appeared on Uncle Ma's face, and asked with some emotion. Looking at Uncle Ma's appearance, he has obviously just passed the first hurdle.

"You kid, I didn't expect you to cultivate the Yuan Cone Technique to this point in just over ten days. "Uncle Ma sighed, "I have just started cultivating with your body refining method, it's really too difficult, even my cultivation is so difficult, I really don't know how you passed the test in the first place!"

"Actually, I didn't think too much about it at the beginning, so I rashly cultivated. Now that I think about it, this body refining method is definitely not something that can be cultivated at the forging stage at all, if it weren't for my relatively firm and strong mind, I would definitely not be able to pass the test. Recently, I thought about it again and found that this is specially prepared for people who are above the gathering period. Xiao Ling said with some fear.

"Yes, I only found out after cultivating, even my current mental strength is showing signs of collapse when I cultivate, and basically no one can succeed in cultivating at that forging stage, unless the heart is very firm and the mind is very strong. Uncle Ma couldn't help but shake his head, but it seemed that he was quite satisfied with the effect of the alchemy technique.

"By the way, Xiao Ling has now cultivated your Yuan Cone Technique, but you have to practice more, and you also have to comprehend the other two secret techniques. Also, you have to improve your strength as soon as possible, otherwise the secret technique alone will not be enough to support you to pass the forbidden blood test. Uncle Ma reminded.

"Yes, Uncle Ma. I'm about to go outside to practice for a few days, and I feel that it's hard to let go of my mind here, but I don't know where there is no interference outside, so I can cultivate with peace of mind?" Hearing this, Xiao Ling also frowned slightly, these days he felt that the progress of forging his body has also been made, but it is still not ideal, and he also wants to find another place to cultivate, the effect of the replenishing liquid has decreased a lot, and he has to find another way to speed up, although it is fast enough compared to others.

"Do you want to leave the palace? Generally, you can only leave the palace after reaching the fourth level, and at that time, many people will return to their respective families or sects to learn some secret techniques and prepare for the blood test. If you want to go out, there is a place, so tomorrow I will take you to a place, where is quiet, and the essence of the qi is more sufficient. Uncle Ma thought about it for a while, but still agreed.

"By the way, Uncle Ma, I'm going out of the hall, can I put Senior Sister Mei Jue here to cultivate, after all, it's much quieter here than outside. Xiao Ling said with a roll of his eyes.

"What's the matter, do you really like that little girl?" Uncle Ma said with an eyebrow, looking at his expression a little playful.

"What did Uncle Ma say! What age are we, it's a bit premature to say this, and I have a very strong heart for the Dao, so I don't pay too much attention to it now. It's just that because Senior Sister Mei Jue and I are closer, presumably the other disciples in the hall will inevitably be unfavorable to them when I am not there, so it would be good to be able to help more now. ”

"You don't think so?" Uncle Ma looked at Xiao Ling's face, obviously a little unconvinced, "But I don't think that little girl necessarily has no thoughts about you, you have to think clearly, the road of cultivation is extremely difficult, don't fall into something that you can't extricate yourself from!"

"Uncle Ma is thinking a lot, even if he has an idea, it's not right now, only when I have a little success in cultivation, I will think about these men and women, before the cultivation time is not enough, where is the time to think about these things. Xiao Ling shook his head and said, but a slender figure still flashed in his heart.

Uncle Ma shook his head, obviously feeling something, but Uncle Ma didn't say anything. Recently, I have also understood Xiao Ling, and I know that Xiao Ling's heart is very strong.
