Chapter 179: Retreat to the Mountains (Part II)

After practicing the second physical exercise, Xiao Ziyang, who was restless at the time, even ignored the parts of the Dharma decision that had nothing to do with the exercises.

Now after combing it carefully, it suddenly made him sweat. Among the magic decisions obtained this time, in addition to a third-level invisible slashing decision, there is also a secret method called the inner rune. Both of these spells were extremely useful and would give him an immediate boost in strength.

The third-level invisible slash is not only more subtle and weird when activated, but also greatly enhanced in power, which has surpassed the power of the spirit sword.

Generally speaking, the power of a mid-grade attack spell is slightly greater than that of a second-level attack spell, and the strength of a mid-grade defensive spell is slightly greater than that of a second-level defense spell. However, the power of the spirit sword, after Xiao Ziyang's many tests, found that it was already comparable to some inferior high-grade magic weapons, and the power was more than most third-level spells.

Once this three-level invisible slash is practiced, its attack power is comparable to that of a top-grade magic weapon, coupled with its hidden and strange characteristics, it will become a new trump card in Xiao Ziyang's hands.

The inner rune is to condense the purple jade mana into a special talisman in the dantian according to different spells, with formations and Taoism.

This talisman is different from the combination of sermons that condenses when the spell is activated, it is permanent.

With this special talisman, when activating the same spell in the future, it will be like activating the talisman paper, and you don't have to condense the sermon every time.

When the inner talisman is activated and the spell is released, it will not disappear completely, and the remaining part will quickly absorb the purple jade mana in the monk's dantian and re-form a complete talisman.

At first glance, this inner spell doesn't seem to be anything special.

But when Xiao Ziyang took a closer look, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. The greatest effect of this inner spell is to make a spell instantaneous!

To know the Dao, even with Xiao Ziyang's cultivation at this time, it would take two breaths to activate a second-level spell like the Invisible Slash, and it would take five to eight breaths to activate the third-level spell like the Spirit Armor Technique and the Invisible Escape Method.

The slow activation of spells is also the reason why almost every monk prepares a lot of rune paper.

However, Xiao Ziyang's purple jade mana was too special and domineering, and ordinary rune paper could not carry it at all, which made Xiao Ziyang rarely have the opportunity to use the powerful third-level defensive spell of Spirit Armor in the fighting method.

If he can turn these spells into instantaneous, his combat power will increase exponentially. And this just solves the distress that his spirit shield, which is equivalent to a medium-grade magic weapon, has gradually become unusable due to lack of defense.

This inner talisman is a special secret method in the purple jade smoke, which is created according to the extraordinarily condensed nature of the purple jade's mana. Only a condensed mana like purple jade mana can condense a mana rune paper that is strong enough to carry spell Dao texts.

In fact, the principle of this inner rune is very similar to the condensation principle of the spirit sword, but the process is simpler, but at the same time, the requirements for the monk's control of mana are higher.

After spending more than ten days and sorting out the exercises one by one, Xiao Ziyang, who was confident, began to cultivate.

Three months passed in a hurry, and Xiao Ziyang's long-closed immortal mansion was finally opened.

Xiao Ziyang, who had just stepped out of the Immortal Mansion, suddenly paused, "It's really strange, who knew that I was out of the customs so quickly?" he muttered to himself as he took out a communication talisman from his storage bag.

The Immortal Mansion built by the Da Luo Sect for its disciples, once the retreat formation is opened, it will block the incoming of all mana information. If you are in a hurry, you can only come here in person and knock on the level with mana.

Xiao Ziyang shook the communication talisman slightly, and a very good-sounding and slightly coquettish woman's voice came out of the talisman paper: "Cultivation madman, are you finally out of the customs, this time you went to Guiyuan Mountain to guard the spiritual spring for a year, and as soon as you come back, you will retreat, and you won't even say hello, you won't have forgotten my friend, right?"

Xiao Ziyang smiled slightly, and returned: "How can it be, I have had some problems with my cultivation recently, so I am in a hurry to retreat." I'm going to look for you. How did you know that I was out of the customs so quickly?"

"Are you really out of the customs? Hehe, I will preach to you every day, but I didn't expect to meet you today that you have just come out of the customs. I'll be waiting for you in the dining hall next to the Baiwen Hall. ”

"Okay, come on!"

When Xiao Ziyang arrived, Murong Ling was standing under the archway of the dining hall. Dressed in snow-white clothes, she is more delicate than flowers.

Xiao Ziyang's eyes flashed with purple, after a few years of hard work, Murong Ling's cultivation has surpassed Xiao Ziyang, looking at the thunder aura on her body, it is brilliant and warm, and she has obviously entered the last level of qi training, the period of recuperation.

"Congratulations Ling'er, you have made great progress in cultivation!"

Murong Ling glanced at Xiao Ziyang, "Are you making fun of me?" I'm afraid you're already cultivating now, and you're just one Tsukidan away!"

Xiao Ziyang smiled slightly bitterly: "You also know that the exercises I practice are very special, the further this exercise goes, the more difficult it becomes, although my mana is far beyond that of ordinary Qi cultivators, I am actually still stuck in the marrow cleansing stage." ”

"Oh, you said that you had a problem with your cultivation, is this because of this?" Murong Ling asked with concern.

Xiao Ziyang nodded and said, "Yes, some time ago, I was too eager to achieve quick success and quick profit, and I was almost taken advantage of by the demons in my heart. The purpose of this retreat is to fill in the gaps and lay a solid foundation. ”

Murong Ling was shocked when he heard this: "Heart Demon! That is the natural enemy of our monks, but I have never heard that disciple of the Qi cultivation period will encounter the heart demon! Later, he was killed by the combined efforts of the elders of the deacon's hall. I've heard that the heart demon is not something that monks below the golden pill can compete with at all. However, fortunately, monks below the golden pill rarely encounter inner demons. Are you really okay?"

Xiao Ziyang smiled: "Of course it's okay, do you look like a demon now?"

Murong Ling said angrily: "You are still laughing, the demon in your heart is not a joke!"

Xiao Ziyang said: "Don't worry, I was on the verge of entering the demon, and I suddenly had an epiphany, not only through the inner demon, but also the Dao heart is more determined." It's a blessing in disguise. ”

Murong Ling circled around Xiao Ziyang and said in amazement: "If I didn't understand your personality, I would definitely think you were bragging." You're really ......!"

"Okay, don't look at it, I've eaten Bigu Dan for more than a year, and I'm almost forgetting the smell of fireworks in the world!"

Murong Ling sighed when he heard this: "It's really right to call you a cultivator!"

Looking at the plate of his favorite Chunan steamed pork brought by Xiao Er, smelling the smell of meat that he felt extremely fragrant in the past, Xiao Ziyang's stomach was as uncomfortable as turning over the river and the sea, and he was nauseated.

He covered his nose and waved his hand to let Xiao Er serve the dishes out, which made Xiao Er very frightened.

Looking at Xiao Ziyang's appearance, Murong Ling smiled and said, "You have been clearing the valley for too long, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat meat in the future!"

Xiao Ziyang had no choice but to order a table of vegetarian dishes again.

Looking at a table of exquisite vegetarian food, Xiao Ziyang, who had no appetite, used chopsticks to poke the carved platter in front of him into a mess, and talked to Murong Ling with a match.
