Killing God

A talisman is born for the Five Elements Art, and when and where it originated and by whom, it is also the same as the Five Elements Art, because it has been handed down for too long, and it has long been impossible to verify. .

In the past years, it is said that the Five Elements Technique had a brief period of prosperity, and the accompanying talismans also shined brilliantly. A great school of supernatural powers that is comparable to Taoism, but now it has been reduced to a side path that is too difficult and impractical to be practical.

As the backbone of the Five Elements spells, the talismans are not much better. For many years, the monks who have walked in the worlds of Hongmeng have rarely seen anyone use the Five Elements spells, except for those low-level casual cultivators. There are even fewer people with talismans.

The "Water Archery" talisman in Shen Shi's hand is made of the lowest grade of yellow talisman paper. On the three-inch wide and four-inch long talisman paper, there are eight circles in a circle. Judging from its orientation, it is exactly the eight trigrams. In the eight positions in the painting, three Yangshui symbols are drawn on the three positions of Yu Kan, Kun, and Zhen, forming a strange array of symbols.

That day in the Hall of the Five Elements, Shen Shi owed a whole body of debts. He learned this talisman Taoism from Zhang Yihui in advance. In fact, he made a long-term plan in his heart. It was beyond my expectations.

The reason why the talisman is difficult is that there are roughly three main difficulties. The first is that the various rune arrays are too complicated, and the combination of rune arrays corresponding to each technique is different. It is really necessary to study this method intensively. , It consumes too much effort; the second is that although the consumption of this Taoism does not seem to be as huge as the alchemy and refining formations and other major methods, the consumption of materials is actually not small. Spirit crystals are needed everywhere, and because of the complexity of the talismans, it is easy to make mistakes, and the accidental loss rate is actually not small.

The last point is the third difficulty, and it is the last step of making the talisman.The process of imbuing spirits, simply put, is to activate the corresponding five-element spells with spiritual power on the talisman paper that has already drawn the talisman array, and use special methods to cast it on the talisman paper, and store it in advance.When this talisman is activated in the future, only [-]% of the usual spiritual power is required, and the casting speed is also several times faster. Of course, when imbuing the spirit, the spiritual power consumed is the same as usual.

Imbuing spirits is easy to say, but there are countless monks in the world who are trapped by this pass. What we pay attention to here is the control of the five elements and the meticulous grasp of the powerful spiritual power. Turning it into a spell and compressing it onto a special talisman paper, the difficulty in it is really hard for monks who are not in touch with this way to imagine.

Just looking at the world, monks who have learned the five elements of magic rarely use talismans on weekdays. When they need to use them occasionally, they often go directly to the store to buy a corresponding talisman, and then they know that making talismans is an important task. What a rare craft.

Shen Shi was forced to learn this way by his father when he was young. After more than ten years of hard work, he has overcome the first difficulty, and the second difficulty of consuming spiritual materials. He is also mentally prepared and bought some at the beginning. The talisman paper, talisman pen and cinnabar are long-term plans, because he has never tried the pass of Guanling, but according to what Brother Zhang Yihui said, if a newcomer comes into contact with talismans, it will take several years to pass the pass of Guanling Even a longer period of training is enough.

However, Shen Shi went back to the cave and practiced for a period of time, but he was surprised to find that his control over the five-element spells seemed to be particularly handy because of the mysterious spiritual power at the center of his brows. Hurry up, even when trying to imbue the spirit talisman, it was extremely easy to manipulate the spiritual power of the spell, but after only half a day, he found that he had successfully made the first water archery talisman...

If the speed at which this kind of talisman is learned by outsiders is known, it can be described as appalling. Even Shen Shi himself was taken aback. He really couldn't believe it, but the subsequent attempts were successive successes. , and finally let him confirm that he seems to be somewhat different in the off-the-beaten-path path of five-element spells and talismans.

All of this is due to the function of the mysterious spell of the Qingxin Mantra, or does he have some talent in the five elements?

Shen Shi himself couldn't tell the difference.

Naturally, one should not easily tell others about such strange things, otherwise, if one is not careful, one may be exposed to the secrets of the demon clan that one has hidden in the past, and the troubles will be serious.Therefore, when Gan Ze suggested that Shen Shi go deep into the demon island with him to hunt high-level monsters, Shen Shi was not unmoved, but in the end he refused after thinking about it.

At this moment, holding a water archery talisman, he was walking on the beach at the edge of Yao Island, with a bit of excitement and anticipation in his heart, and kept looking around, looking for prey.

As if corresponding to his intention, after about half a cup of tea, a low-level monster wind bird that is common on the edge of the demon island flew down from a big tree on the edge of the forest, apparently looking for food, and soon He also found Shen Shi, and then his eyes showed a fierce light. After making a sharp cry, he flapped his wings and flew up, rolling up a pile of sand like a small tornado, and rushed towards Shen Shi.

Shen Shi took a deep breath, stepped back half a step slightly, looked ahead solemnly, and didn't make any big movements, just raised his right hand.On weekdays, he was hunting on the demon island. He had also encountered monsters like Fengniao many times, and he didn't feel any unexpected nervousness. Now, he waited longer than usual to meet the monsters that were rushing towards him. , Seeing the sharp bird claws rushing towards his eyes, Shen Shi suddenly shook his right hand.

At that moment, a burst of spiritual power separated from the center of the eyebrows, as fast as lightning, rushed through the energy channels of the whole body, reached the palm of the hand, and poured into the water archery talisman.Almost at the same time, the three Yangshui talismans on the talisman lighted up at the same time, and a burst of abundant spiritual power exploded. The talisman paper was turned into debris and scattered in the wind almost instantly, and the spirit The power is transformed into a sharp water arrow in this flash of light, and it shoots out.

Fengniao almost didn't react at all. In the blink of an eye, the huge body was directly hit in the chest by the water arrow. After making a strange whine, it fell heavily to the ground. The feathers burst, blood flowed, and it was convulsing after a while die.

Shen Shi slowly approached this monster, with a bit of joy on his face, and at the same time, he could not see the slightest sign of fatigue. At this moment, the spiritual power consumed by the way of talismans was only his average. It is said that only [-]% of the spell is cast.

He turned over Fengniao's body, took the few spirit feathers around the neck, then stood up with a slight smile, and looked up at the sky, only to see the blue sky above Yao Island, with a few white clouds floating far away, It is a fine weather.

This day, he didn't return to the boat until dusk, and the little wishful ring on his left hand contained three times more harvest than usual.

For Shen Shi, after this day, he already had a faint feeling in his heart that he seemed to have a skill, but for the huge Herring Island, the days were still peaceful.

What happened on Yao Island was gradually forgotten by people as time passed. Around the end of September and early October, some high-level disciples of the Qi Refining Realm returned to Yao Island again and started to do some monster hunting. Task.And the big ship bound for Yao Island became more lively again.

In addition, many disciples on Qingyu Island seem to be working hard towards the road of cultivating immortals.

In this way, as time passed day by day, it finally entered the fourth year.

Shen Shi is 16 years old.

In the fourth year, the atmosphere on Herring Island obviously began to become a little tense. The reason is very simple, and there is not much time left for everyone.Generally speaking, one of the truths recognized in the Lingxiao Sect is that only disciples who break through the Qi Refining Realm and cultivate to the Yuan Condensing Realm within five years are considered talents worthy of the sect's cultivation.

And according to the experience of previous years, in the fourth year, at least one must cultivate to a high level of Qi Refining Realm, and then in the fifth year, make a full effort to finally break through the Yuan Condensation Realm.

For more than 400 newcomer disciples, the future life status and direction of the Dao of Immortal Cultivation are largely determined in these two years.

Maybe except for that guy named Gan Ze, everyone is nervous.

Including Shen Shi.

At the beginning, there were more than 100 people who had cultivated to the middle level of Qi Refining Realm in the third year. After entering the fourth year, the atmosphere on the island became more tense, and this mood finally reached its peak in May of this year* *.

On the second day of May, after Gan Ze, the second person among this group of new disciples who has cultivated to a high level of Qi Refining Realm finally appeared, shaking the whole island for a while, although he did not have Gan Ze's unbelievable talent , but this speed is also surprising enough. As long as we go further in the future, we will definitely be able to get the full cultivation of the Lingxiao Zongmen.

For a moment, this lucky person attracted the attention of countless people, and at the same time, her identity shocked everyone around her.

Her name is Zhong Qingzhu.

No one would have thought of this. Even in the third year, Zhong Qingzhu was one of the more than 100 middle-level Qi Refining Realms, but her progress at the beginning could only be regarded as the middle-lower level. No one thought that she would enter the state after a year. It was so fast, even the few friends I made with her every day didn't expect it.

But after that, Zhong Qingzhu's successful breakthrough seemed to open a hole, and follow-up examples began to come gradually.Compared with previous years, among the new disciples in this round, there is a faint appearance of a gathering of geniuses. You must know that in most years, most of them can only cultivate to the high level of Qi Refining Realm in the fifth year of Yaodao.

On May [-]th, the third high-level Qi Refining Realm appeared; on the first day of June, the fourth; on the sixth day of June, the fifth; on June [-]rd, the sixth...

Suddenly, Herring Island seemed to be shrouded in a faintly fanatical atmosphere. Everyone was immersed in this kind of manic competition, cultivating desperately with a bit of madness.In previous years, teenagers who could be regarded as geniuses continued to emerge.

In July and August, the number of newcomer disciples who broke through to the high-level Qi Refining Realm reached 24. On the eighth day of September, this autumn day, a person who was considered a big event in previous years but is now nothing special The news got out.

No. 20 five high-level novice disciples of Qi Refining Realm appeared on Herring Island.

His name is Shen Shi.
