Killing God

This day seemed to be another very ordinary day, the same as the usual days on Herring Island, Shen Shi lived a regular or somewhat boring thing step by step. .Woke up early in the morning, first copied a few yin-yang and five-element runes on paper, and then went out to Hongceng Village, peeled shrimp for a day, chatted with starfish, and learned that this time the Hongceng people went fishing at sea. The harvest is not big, it seems that there are some problems with the fish schools in the waters near Herring Island, and the few are surprisingly small.

Returning to the cave in the evening, he began to practice twice a day, with a heart-clearing mantra in the middle, and the spiritual power gathered between the eyebrows became thicker.Finally, he began to practice water archery again.

The difficulty of the Five Elements Art is indeed well-deserved, and Shen Shi himself does not seem to have any outstanding talent in this way, even though he has some understanding of the Five Elements Art because he has learned talismans since he was a child. The progress of practicing water archery still shows no signs of being particularly fast.

The second day, the third day, the fourth day... For three consecutive days, he did not condense the stream of water required by the water archery formula.

Practicing five-element spells in the Qi Refining Realm, the scattered spiritual power scattered in the energy veins of the whole body is too difficult to gather. Shen Shi spends seven or eight points of his energy on this, and finally gathers enough His spiritual power is almost exhausted, and it is already a bit powerless to sense the surrounding water system spiritual power to stimulate water archery.

Fortunately, after all, he is on Herring Island by the coast of the sea. There is nothing else here, but the water is endless, and the water vapor is overwhelming. It's not far away when the water flows out and turns into a water arrow.

On the fifth day, that is, on May [-]th, after finishing all the homework for the day, Shen Shi rested for a while and started the practice of water archery again.

He opened the stone gate with a cloud talisman, and he came to the beach as in the past few days. In the middle of the night, the night of Baiyu Bay was beautiful and quiet, and the clouds above the sky covered some starlight, and the semicircular moon passed through the clouds. In between, the edge of the cloud was coated with a layer of white brilliance.

There is still silence on the beach, only the occasional chirping of insects can be heard in the grass under the tall trees growing on the beach.Shen Shi stood on the beach and looked around, only to see him alone in the empty bay under the night.

With the sea breeze blowing, he took a deep breath, then walked to the fixed position for the past few days, sat down cross-legged beside the same big tree, adjusted his breathing, calmed down, and then began to gather the spiritual power in the Qi channels in his body.

This process is as difficult as usual, the scattered spiritual power is lazy and unruly, and it seems that he is very unwilling to follow his command, which also makes Shen Shi, like countless monks who have experienced this stage, look forward to the future in his heart. One day, he can cultivate to the Yuan Condensation Realm, and after opening up the Jade Mansion Qi Sea, all the Qi meridians in the whole 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 accounted for almost one-third of his total spiritual power so far. That is to say, Even if he succeeds in practicing water archery tonight, or the spiritual power in his body suddenly obeys his commands from today, but he can only cast water archery three times at most in one battle.

But of course now is not the time to think about these things. Shen Shi, who has gathered enough spiritual power, is overjoyed. He feels that he has improved a little faster than yesterday. It seems that practicing these five elements every day will eventually slow down. elevated.The principle that practice makes perfect is true wherever you put it.

Next, Shen Shi began to feel the surrounding spiritual power wholeheartedly, using the water archery formula to slowly arouse, in the incomparably abundant water vapor above the sea, his palm slowly spread out in the air, fingers Trembling slightly, an invisible force seemed to condense from the air, wrapping around him.

A moment later, there seemed to be some voice whispering in an unknown place, and a white light flashed suddenly, soft and transparent, clear and crystal clear, and a stream of water appeared in his palm like this.

There was a slight smile on the corner of Shen Shi's mouth, and he opened his eyes happily to see that it was a stream of water about a foot long, which looked no different from ordinary water, and seemed to be restrained and trapped by an invisible force at the moment. A stream of water one foot long and thick as a thumb formed, which he held in the palm of his hand.

As soon as he raised his head, he was activated by the palm art, and under the urging of spiritual power, the originally crystal clear water suddenly condensed a lot, and it rushed out through the air in an instant, hitting another big tree five feet away. above the tree trunk.

There was a muffled "poof", and the whole tree shook violently, sawdust scattered, and a round hole the size of a fist appeared in the trunk.

Shen Shi got up and walked to the side of the big tree, looked at the round hole carefully for a while, and nodded in satisfaction after a while. This kind of power should be pretty good, even though it is useless to high-ranking monks who are physically tyrannical, but Ordinary people are already unable to resist, even some little demons and ordinary Yin spirits, under the power of this level of water archery, it should be difficult to support them.

After practicing for five days, I finally successfully cast water archery for the first time. Although the word "success" is actually a bit watery, among other things, the casting time alone is outrageously long, and it still needs a long time to practice , but even so, Shen Shi still felt very relieved.

This is the first technique he has mastered in his life, and it is also the first power he has mastered after training. Young man, who doesn't have a heart that yearns for strength?

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

The time for one cup of tea has passed, two cups of tea, half an hour, an hour... The night is shrouded in Baiyu Bay, the moon in the sky quietly hides in the clouds, darkness covers the whole field, Shen Shi seems to have become A shadow of nothingness appeared.

Suddenly, his body trembled violently, as if he was finally exhausted, he leaned powerlessly to the side, and lay down on the beach, panting heavily, with a look of helplessness and loss on his face.

This second practice of water archery finally failed. It was too difficult to gather the spiritual power in the body. Such a long time of urging and support also exhausted Shen Shi's mental and physical strength. Now it is like a Like a puppy that has lost its strength, it only has the strength to breathe.

"When does this have to be practiced to reach the realm of ten breaths?" Shen Shi smiled wryly in his heart and shook his head.

Generally speaking, to practice a five-element spell in the Qi-refining environment, to gather spiritual energy and successfully cast the spell, is actually just a beginning. To truly say that it is a sign of complete success in practice, a monk must at least complete the spell within ten breaths. This technique is cast.

Ten breaths refers to the normal ten breathing time of ordinary people. It is so difficult for a monk in the Qi Refining Realm to gather the spiritual power in his body. One can imagine how difficult it is to meet the requirement of casting spells within ten breaths.But there's no way around it, after all, if you meet a monster and plan to fight it, then the monster will let you stand there motionless and gather your energy for a cup of tea...

It is said that after the Yuan Condensation Realm, all the spiritual power in the body gathers in the Qihai Dantian, like an arm and a finger. At that time, a monk at that time cast a first-order five-element spell, and often only needed three breaths and four breaths, which was eye-catching. After all, the Yuan Condensation Realm is the threshold for monks to truly set foot on the road of cultivating immortals.

Lying on the sand, looking up at the boundless night sky, while panting, Shen Shi thought that he might have to forcibly train the spirit-gathering time of this cup of tea to only ten breaths. His calm heart made him feel a little headache and fear just thinking about it, so he couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

Since ancient times, countless monks have regarded the Five Elements Art as a daunting path. Except for casual cultivators who have no background, no sect, and no connections, the children of those famous schools rarely practice the Five Elements Art. It is really not unreasonable, it is really hard work Hard work and rewards are indeed very different.

He slowly closed his eyes in fatigue. After a while of rest, his spirit was barely better, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. The five-element technique was so difficult and difficult to practice, it seemed that the task of hunting monsters seemed to It is also very far away from me, and with my current spirit crystal consumption, I feel that I can't keep up with it.

"Oh, it would be great if I could have the strength of the Yuan Condensation Realm now." Shen Shi sighed softly, if he could gather spirits as quickly as a monk in the Yuan Condensation Realm...

There was a sudden movement in his heart, he opened his eyes suddenly, stretched out a hand, but slowly landed on his forehead, between the eyebrows.

The reason why monks in the Condensation Realm gather spirits and cast spells so fast is not because they have opened up the Jade Mansion Qi Sea, and all the spiritual power in their bodies is gathered in one place, so... it seems that there is such a place on their body at this moment!

Although, this "place" where spiritual power gathers seems somewhat mysterious and weird no matter what...

It is impossible for a monk in the Qi Refining Realm to have a sea of ​​Qi from the Jade Mansion, 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 that the human race has practiced for thousands of years, and Shen Shi is naturally convinced of this I doubt it, but right now, during the past three years, he secretly practiced the Mantra of Purifying Heart, which unexpectedly caused the spiritual power equivalent to the same amount of normal cultivation in his body to gather in the center of his eyebrows.

These gathered spiritual powers come from the heart-clearing mantra, and they are always calm and unmoved on weekdays. Even if Shen Shi practices water archery to gather spiritual powers in the Qi veins, these spiritual powers at the center of the eyebrows will not be moved at all. He couldn't move a little bit, so Shen Shi also forgot that he still had such a considerable amount of spiritual power.

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

Shen Shi frowned, thinking silently.
