Killing God

This day seemed to be a very ordinary day again. Like the usual days on Herring Island, Shen Shi lived a regular life step by step, or it was a bit boring. I got up early in the morning and copied a few Yin Yang and Five Elements runes on the paper. Then I went out to the Red Clam Village, peeled the shrimps for a day, chatted with the starfish, and learned that this time the Red Clam people went out to sea to fish. Not big, it seems that there are some problems with the fish in the waters near Herring Island, which is surprisingly small.

In the evening, I returned to the cave and began to practice twice a day, with a heart-clearing spell in the middle, and the spiritual power gathered at the center of his eyebrows became thicker. Finally, he started practicing water archery again.

The difficulty of the five-element technique is indeed well-deserved, and it seems that Shen Shi himself obviously does not have any outstanding talents in this way, even if he has learned the five-element technique because he has learned the talisman since childhood, but in The progress of practicing water archery still showed no signs of particularly rapid progress.

The second day, the third day, the fourth day...for three consecutive days, he did not condense the water flow required by the water archery technique.

Practicing the Five Elements Spells in the Qi Refining Realm, the spiritual power scattered in the Qi veins of the body is too difficult to gather. Shen Shi is very spiritual, but seven or eight points are spent on this, and it is hard to gather enough. His spiritual power was almost exhausted and half dead, and it was already a little too weak to sense the spiritual power of the surrounding water system to stimulate water archery.

But fortunately, after all, he is on the Herring Island on the shore of the sea. There is nothing else here, but the water is endless and the water vapor is overwhelming. Therefore, after these few days, Shen Shi still saw a glimmer of light, and he was conscious of his success. The water flow and then turned into a water arrow is not far away.

On the fifth day, that is, May 11, after finishing all the homework in the day, Shen Shi rested for a while and started practicing water archery again.

He opened the stone gate with a cloud symbol, and he came to the beach as before. In the middle of the night, the night of Baiyuwan was beautiful and quiet. Pieces of broken clouds above the sky covered a few stars, and a semicircular moon passed through the clouds. In between, the edge of the cloud was plated with a layer of white light.

There was still silence on the beach, only the grass under the tall trees growing on the beach, and occasionally a few insects sounded. Standing on the beach, Shen Shi looked around and saw that in the empty bay, under the night, he was alone.

When the sea breeze blew, he took a deep breath, then walked to the fixed position these days, sat cross-legged next to the same big tree, adjusted his breathing, calmed his heart, and began to gather the spiritual energy in his body.

This process is as difficult as usual. Those scattered spiritual powers are lazy and unwilling to obey his command. This also makes Shen Shi, like countless monks who have experienced this stage, look forward to one day in the future. After cultivating to the Ning Yuan realm and opening up the Jade Mansion Qi Sea, all the Qi veins in the body will gather in one place, and they will obey the master's instructions extremely obediently.

After a cup of tea, Shen Shi finally gathered enough spiritual power. According to his own estimation, this spiritual power alone would account for almost one-third of all spiritual power he has cultivated so far. In other words, Even if he succeeded in practicing water archery tonight, or today the spiritual power in his body was suddenly obediently obedient to his command, but he can only cast water archery at most three times in a battle.

But of course it is not the time to think more about these things. Shen Shi, who has gathered enough spiritual power, is happy in his heart. He consciously seems to be a little faster than yesterday. It seems that practicing these five element techniques every day will gradually improve after all. of. The truth that practice makes perfect is right wherever you put it.

After that, Shen Shi wholeheartedly began to feel the spiritual power around him, using the water archery technique to slowly activate him, amid the incomparable water vapor above the sea, his palms slowly spread out in the air, fingers A little trembling, an invisible force seemed to condense from the air, wrapping around him.

After a while, there seemed to be some voice whispering in an unknown place, a white light flashed suddenly, soft and transparent, clear and crystal clear, and a stream of water appeared in the palm of his hand.

Shen Shi smiled a little at the corner of his mouth, and opened his eyes with joy to see that it was a stream of water that was as long as a foot long. It looked no different from ordinary water. At this moment, it seemed to be trapped by an invisible force. A stream of water thick with a foot long and thumb was formed, which he held on the palm of his hand.

As soon as he raised his head, the palm of his hand was urged, and under the support of his spiritual power, the original crystal clear water suddenly solidified a lot, and instantly burst out of the sky, and hit another big tree five feet away. Above the tree trunk.

Hearing a muffled sound of "poof", the whole tree shook violently, the sawdust was scattered, and a fist-sized round hole appeared in the trunk.

Shen Shi got up and walked to the side of the big tree, carefully looked at the round hole for a while, and nodded in satisfaction after a moment. This power should be good, even if it is of no use to the tyrannical high-ranking monk, but Mortals can no longer resist, even some little monsters and ordinary Yin spirits, under the power of this kind of water archery, it should be difficult to support them.

After practicing for five days, I finally succeeded in casting water archery for the first time. Although the word "success" is actually a bit watery, let alone the cast time, it takes a long time to practice. , But it was so, Shen Shi still felt very pleased.

This was the first technique he mastered in his life, and it was also the first power he mastered after practicing. Young man, who doesn't have a heart that desires to be strong?

Excited and excited, he sat down again and tried to practice water archery again. It's just that this time his good luck seems to have been completely used up. The farther the Qi veins in his body are from his right hand where he casts the spell, the more scattered spiritual power he will not obey the command, and his every drive is more laborious than before.

The time for one cup of tea has passed, two cups of tea, half an hour, one hour... the night is shrouded in Baiyu Bay, the moon in the sky also hides quietly among the clouds, darkness covers the fields, and the sinking stone seems to have been transformed into A shadow of nothingness.

Suddenly, his body trembled suddenly, as if he was finally exhausted, and he leaned to the side feebly, lying down on the beach, panting heavily, his expression of helplessness and loss on his face.

This second practice of water archery finally failed. The spiritual power in the body was too difficult to gather. Such a long time of holding also exhausted Shen Shi’s mental and physical strength. Now it is like one. Just like a dog that is slack off, there is only breathing power left.

"When will I have to practice until I reach the realm of ten breaths?" Shen Shi smiled bitterly in his heart and shook his head.

Generally speaking, practicing a five-element spell in the refining state and gathering spiritual power to successfully cast the spell is actually just the beginning. If it is really a sign of complete success, the monk must at least master the magic within ten breaths. This spell is cast out.

Ten breaths means the normal time for ordinary people to breathe ten times. It is so difficult for a Qi-refining realm monk to gather spiritual power in his body. One can imagine how difficult it is to achieve the requirements of casting spells within ten breaths. But there is no way. After all, if you meet a monster and plan to fight it, then the monster will let you stand there motionless for a cup of tea...

It is said that after the condensed element realm, all the spiritual energy in the body gathers the Qi Hai Dantian, like an arm ambassador. At that time, the monk cast a first-order five-element spell, and in many cases only three breaths and four breaths were required. Not to mention that the Ning Yuan Realm is the threshold for the cultivator to truly set foot on the Xiuxian Avenue.

Lying on the sand, looking up at the endless night sky, panting, Shen Shi thought that he might have to train the spirit gathering time of this cup of tea to only ten breaths. The difficulty of this is great, the pain of cultivation, even if With his calm mind, he felt a little headache and fear when he thought of it, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Since ancient times, countless monks have regarded the five-element technique as a daunting way. Except for the casual cultivators who have no way or no way, the children of the famous school rarely practice the five-element technique. It is really not unreasonable, it is really hard work. The hard work and the rewards are indeed much worse.

He slowly closed his eyes in fatigue. After this rest, his spirit was barely better, but he felt a little uneasy. The five-element technique is so difficult to practice, it seems that the task of catching monsters looks like It's also very far away from me, and with my current spirit crystal consumption, I have gradually felt a bit unable to keep up.

"Hey, it would be great if I could have the strength of the Ning Yuan realm now." Shen Shi sighed lightly, if he could gather spirits as quickly as a Ning Yuan realm monk...

With a sudden movement in his heart, he opened his eyes abruptly, and one hand stretched out, but it slowly fell on his forehead and between his eyebrows.

Why did the Ning Yuan realm monks gather spirits and cast spells so quickly? It's not because they opened up the Jade Mansion Qi Sea, and all the spiritual energy of the whole body is gathered in one place, then... it seems that at this moment, there is such a place in his body!

Although, this "place" for gathering spiritual power seems a bit mysterious and weird anyway...

It is impossible for a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm to have a Jade Mansion Qi Sea, and the spiritual power absorbed into the body can only be scattered throughout the Qi veins in the body. This is a well-known axiom for thousands of years since the human race has cultivated. Shen Shi naturally believes in this. Suspicious, but right now, during the past three years, he had secretly practiced the Purifying Heart Mantra, but unexpectedly caused the concentration of spiritual power equivalent to the same amount of normal cultivation in his body at the center of his eyebrows.

These gathered spiritual powers come from the Heart-Clearing Mantra, and they are always calm and motionless on weekdays. Even if Shenshi practices water archery and gathers spiritual power in his energy veins, these spiritual powers at the center of his eyebrows are not moved at all. Tugged a little bit, so Shen Shi also forgot that he still had such a large amount of spiritual power.

How can we stimulate these spiritual powers? Otherwise, after working hard for so long and consuming so many spirit crystals, isn't it all in vain?

Shen Shi frowned and thought silently.
