(make up for the gaps in the previous days)
Meng Zhou carefully checked the status of the two mysterious turtles.
The bloodline quality of the two turtles has firmly stood at the second-order high-grade level.
The various innate abilities that have been adapted and tolerated by their bloodline after his rigorous special training have also increased with the tide, each with varying degrees of improvement.
At the same time, last year, Meng Zhou used the sound attack seal to torment two mysterious turtles for a whole year.
This time, they finally adapted to a new innate ability through the sublimation of their bloodline.
When Meng Zhou's spiritual consciousness was carefully exploring the depths of the blood vessels of the two turtles, Meng Zhou's spiritual consciousness heard faint and strange sounds from time to time.
After the initial shock, Meng Zhou carefully investigated and confirmed that this was not an illusion.
The strange sound was like rushing water passing through a tortuous journey at the bottom of a deep stream, reaching the heart of the listener.
It's like a beast lurking beneath the earth, roaring and hissing beneath the ground.
If you don't distinguish it carefully, you may even ignore such abnormal noises.
Think of it as part of the natural sound, like the background noise of the world.
But when Meng Zhou relied on the connection of the contract and his consciousness was completely focused on his bloodline, he finally heard the thunder-like sound that happened from time to time in the bodies of the two turtles.
The ups and downs of the rhythm are actually integrated with the movement of the two turtles' internal organs, the flow of blood throughout the body, and the natural expansion and contraction of the breath of life.
It has been completely integrated into the life rhythm of the Xuanling Turtle itself, and has become as natural as breathing.
Every thunderous sound was like a tide, starting from the depths of the blood vessels and spreading throughout all areas inside and outside the two turtles' bodies.
Like a giant hammer beating a drum, like a massage hand, or an order to organize an army.
Meng Zhou's heart moved, and another sound attack seal was implanted into the Xuanling Turtle, deep in its heart.
But just as its sound attack spread, the regular vibrations lurking deep in the Xuanling Turtle's bloodline suddenly accelerated and actively surrounded the heart area.
In the tit-for-tat confrontation, not only the damage caused by the sound attack seal was completely offset, but also the sound attack countered the sound attack, grinding away the seal from the heart area bit by bit, without revealing any traces.
"Their bloodline has completely adapted to the ability to be immune to sound attacks."
"More importantly, this is an excellent body-refining method that can make their bloodline more active.
Make the connection between blood and body closer and more orderly.
Amidst this vibration from the inside out, the body will become stronger and stronger at a faster speed."
"Moreover, if this ability is combined with the vortex talent, it can also produce a wonderful linkage, forming a special sound attack method."
In the midst of his thoughts, Meng Zhou's thoughts once again recalled the experience of his predecessor as a martial arts master.
There was a kind of belated realization, “Why didn’t I think of this sooner?”
In the memory of my predecessor, there was a type of martial arts that took "sound" as its core.
In addition to being used as an attack, it is also an excellent means of physical training.
The tiger and leopard thunder sounds, the lion's roar, and the toad's strength are all typical examples. They can not only attack powerful enemies externally, but also train oneself internally, using the characteristics of sound to penetrate into the muscle marrow.
From this expansion, various ideas emerged in Meng Zhou's mind.
Meng Zhou kept these inspirations in mind one by one and continued to explore.
Finally, Meng Zhou came to a conclusion that was a bit surprising when he first discovered it, but it made sense after thinking about it carefully.
That is to say, after the bloodline of these two mysterious turtles once again adapted to such innate abilities, they were no longer sustainable and would no longer be able to adapt to new innate abilities.
The two turtles' real, original bloodline talent is adaptability and tolerance.
This ability is like a pool of water, and the new abilities that he has adapted to under his special training are like stones.
These "stones" have sharp edges and corners, making it difficult to tolerate each other.
But because of the Xuanling Turtle's natural tolerance ability, each of these stones was well tolerated by this pool of water.
But the current situation is that he has stuffed too many rocks into the pool, and all of them are big and angular.
With the limited amount of water, containing them in a pool of water is already the limit.
No matter how much it is, it really won’t be enough to “pack” it.
To increase the "water volume" of this pool and increase the natural tolerance of the two turtles, there is only one way, which is to increase their bloodline potential.
This is not an easy task, but for Meng Zhou, there is just a way - to use the essence of life on them.
However, Meng Zhou thought about it and shook his head and gave up.
With the current bloodline quality of the two mysterious turtles, if you want to improve their bloodline potential, you will consume much more life marrow than cultivating several second-level top-grade spiritual plants.
He didn't want to throw so much soul marrow at them for the time being.
What's more, after the two turtles hatched from the eggs, they have been making rapid progress. In just a few years, they have grown from two hatchlings that have just hatched to second-level high-grade turtles. Their true strength can be used against most foundations.
In the later stage, it will cause a crushing trend.
Although the method was appropriate and the foundation was solid, it was still pushed too hard.
"It's okay to take it slow."
Meng Zhou decided to make some adjustments to the cultivation method of the two turtles, allowing them to slowly settle into the second-level high-grade stage.
However, you still have to take medicine when you need to.
Meng Zhou took out two animal pills and threw one into the turtle.
There are not many of these beast pills concocted with the Spirit-Sheng Dan, and they were all made after the Spirit-Sheng Dan skill was perfected.
Even for the second-order high-grade Xuanling Turtle, the effect is still excellent.
After the two turtles skillfully swallowed the beast pellets, the two mysterious turtles were ready for the next round of endless torture. However, they were shocked to find that the man actually ignored them after feeding them the beast pellets.
Turn around and leave!
gone!
The two turtles stared blankly, wondering what was wrong.
After a while, the two turtles glanced at each other quietly, and then they quietly sank to the bottom of the pond like two weights.
After dealing with the two mysterious spirit turtles, Meng Zhou began to look through the moon mirror at the four thousand acres of spiritual plants outside.
Although he is rarely distracted by this matter now, he still has to pay special attention to it before each retreat and after the retreat.
Sometimes, if he finds some bad clues, he will deal with them in time.
However, for him now, these things hardly delay anything and can be solved with a cup of spiritual tea.
Therefore, there is naturally no need to go into details.
This time, he looked more carefully than before, especially the thousand acres of jade-heart red fruit vines that were originally planted.
Because this year is the time when the jade heart and red fruits are ripe.
After checking carefully to make sure everything was fine, Meng Zhou turned his mind elsewhere.
After thinking for a while, Meng Zhou sent a flying knowledge message to Kan Yue.
Just now, while inspecting the spiritual field, Meng Zhou also took the opportunity to confirm the changes in the spiritual energy of the earth veins in the four thousand acres of spiritual field.
Compared with a year ago, the aura of the earth veins has been significantly improved.
Moreover, the earth-line spiritual energy has a stronger connection with the earth-line spiritual energy in other spiritual fields that are only a few miles away, and the flow of each other becomes more frequent.
Meng Zhou knew that during the few days he was in seclusion, Sanchuanyuan's spiritual veins had grown again.
Although he devoted himself to seclusion and meditation, he was still very concerned about the changes in the spiritual veins of Sanchuan Yuan.
After all, this is also related to his own behavior arrangements.
After dealing with this, Meng Zhou once again devoted himself to practicing the Golden Escape Technique.
Half a day later, without waiting for a reply from Kan Yue, I saw his figure appearing in the sky in the distance.
Meng Zhou paused his practice, opened the formation, and let him go straight into the courtyard.
At this moment, Kan Yue's aura is calmer and heavier than the last time we met. He has made great progress in both body and Qi refining.
The demeanor is also more calm and calm.
For practitioners, strength is the support for all this.
Meng Zhou guessed that after receiving the jade slips as a gift last year, Kan Yue quickly made up for his weak foundation in body training and took his body and qi training a step further.
In addition, there should be no shortage of precious elixirs and other supplementary spiritual items.
Otherwise, his strength would not have improved so much in a short period of time.
This can be regarded as a good time, and it happens to be the time when President Pan's trump card is the most "bad".
Meng Zhou sighed in his heart, and Kan Yue also explained to him.
It turned out that when he received the summons, Kan Yue was inspecting the outskirts of Sanchuanyuan with President Pan and other important figures in Sanchuanyuan to confirm on the spot the growth of Sanchuanyuan's spiritual veins this time.
The situation at that time made it neither convenient for him to reply to the letter nor to leave. It was not until recently that he found a suitable opportunity to step aside and tell him the situation specifically.
Meng Zhou was surprised when he heard what he said: "If you just leave like this, there won't be any problems with President Pan, right?"
Kan Yue said: "No problem, not long ago, a fake elixir monk came from the Professionals Association, plus the fake elixir arranged by the Blue Blood Army.
...Moreover, the situation in Sanchuan Plain can be stable for another year. At this time, no one will dare to mess around."
Meng Zhou nodded, his attention falling on what he said next:
"Oh, can it be stable for another year?... To what extent has the spiritual veins grown this year?"
Kan Yue gave Meng Zhou a relatively detailed introduction to the spiritual veins in Sanchuan Plain. After Meng Zhou listened carefully, he said:
"So, there shouldn't be any big events this year?"
Kan Yue nodded and said: "With me in the Sanchuan Association, and the Blue Blood Army and the Professionals Association outside, there should be no problem in major matters.
However, this time, the spiritual veins have grown again, and no one will question the possibility of success of the president's plan.
Those forces that were still waiting and watching last year will definitely enter on a large scale this year."
Having said this, Kan Yue paused for a moment before continuing:
"The fake elixir arranged by the Professionals Association also revealed to us the news that the Lord's Palace of Jade Lake City has also developed a strong interest in this plan.
We have asked the Professionals Association many times about the specific situation of our cooperation and the various changes in the layout of Sanchuanyuan.
If nothing else happens, they will also enter this year."
When talking about this matter, Kan Yue's eyes were full of fear.
When Meng Zhou heard this, he asked unexpectedly: "Can the Lord's Mansion of Jade Lake City still control Sanchuan Plain?"
Kan Yue shook his head and explained carefully, and then Meng Zhou suddenly understood.
Cuiyu Lake Fairy City is like an independent company, and the City Lord's Mansion is the board of directors of this company.
This is because when Qingxuanzong built the model of the Jade Lake Fairy City, he deliberately attracted many forces within the Qingxuan Territory to join in - the lowest threshold had to be forces with fake elixirs to take control.
And based on the amount of people, efforts, and resources contributed by each party, the equity of the "company", the right to speak, etc. will be shared.
The City Lord's Mansion is not only the direct manager of Emerald Lake Fairy City, it is also a close and powerful alliance of interests.
Some of the fake elixir forces that have now entered Sanchuan Yuan are newly promoted fake elixir monks who have only obtained key items from Hexin Tower in the past two years and have broken through from the peak level of foundation building.
There are also some senior fake elixirs who originally had shares in Cuiyu Lake Fairy City, but due to various reasons, their status in the main palace of Cuiyu Lake City is relatively marginal.
But it is precisely for this reason that when Chairman Pan's Sanchuanyuan plan was just exposed last year and there was no evidence to prove it, they jumped in early to seize the opportunity and made early bets.
Although they are labeled as "shareholders" of Cuiyu Lake, so far, they have acted alone.
But now, if the spiritual changes in Sanchuanyuan this year attract more "shareholders" of Jade Lake, they will probably stick together because of their cooperation foundation.
To grab the biggest piece of the new pie in Sanchuan Plain.
However, again, as long as Sanchuan Yuan's spiritual veins have not grown enough to be truly transformed into a third-level spiritual land, no force will block this process.
Even if you want to divide the cake and grab the cake, you have to wait until the cake is cooked.
Before that, you can do some actions to lay out the card positions in advance and occupy a more advantageous position, which are all acceptable.
But if you knock down the pancake maker at this time, or simply smash the pot, you will make people angry.
After listening to Kan Yue's explanation, Meng Zhou felt relieved.
After Kan Yue said goodbye and left, Meng Zhou was still thinking about this matter.
Before last year, before the spiritual veins of Sanchuan Plain began to grow, the spiritual veins of Sanchuan Plain had a radius of about 600 miles and an area of about 300,000 square kilometers.
It sticks to the earth like a big cake, with nearly half of the first-order spiritual land in the periphery and about half of the second-order spiritual land in the center.
At the beginning of last year, the spiritual veins of Sanchuan Plain grew significantly and expanded outward for a hundred miles.
Not only the quality of the original spiritual land has been improved to varying degrees, but the area of the first-level spiritual land and the second-level spiritual land have also been improved to varying degrees.
This year, according to what Kan Yue said, the Sanchuan Plateau spiritual veins have once again expanded outward by about a hundred miles.
Now, the area covered by the spiritual veins of Sanchuan Plateau alone is equivalent to that of the former Jade Lake.
The area of Sanchuan Plateau has also increased from 300,000 square kilometers to about 500,000 square kilometers (slightly larger than Shu Province), and the scope of first- and second-order spiritual lands has increased based on last year.
The only shortcoming is the special geographical environment of Sanchuan Plateau, which is much worse than Cuiyu Lake in storing spiritual energy.
Therefore, if the spiritual veins of the Sanchuan Plain are to be like the Jade Lake, they must either further expand the scope of the spiritual veins of the Sanchuan Plain, or increase the ability to store the spiritual energy of the earth veins per unit area.
Although, if the Lord's Mansion of Cuiyu Lake City sets its sights on the fat piece of Sanchuan Yuan, it will definitely have far-reaching worries.
But the benefits are not without them. The biggest benefit is that once the power of the main government of Cuiyu Lake City intervenes this year, the development of Sanchuan Plain will be accelerated again.
"Next time, or rather next year, it should be the time when each company officially shows its cards and divides the pie."
Because President Pan's apprentice is in retreat in the third-level spiritual land of Cuiyu Lake Fairy City, others may not know it, but the main palace of Cuiyu Lake City must be very aware.
Since they have decided to enter the game, they will definitely not delay, and will try their best to re-establish the order in Sanchuan Plain before Ding Ning leaves the border.
Meng Zhou, who had a clear understanding in his heart, calmed down for the time being and devoted himself to practicing the Golden Escape Technique again.
The fifth day of the first lunar month, noon.
The Golden Escape Technique has reached perfection.
With the completion of this escape technique, Meng Zhou once again gained a lot of experience and insights.
Among these gains, there are some that are more specific and can directly increase the effect of the Golden Escape Technique, and some that are more strategic and allow him to have a deeper understanding of the Escape Technique.
Meng Zhou could clearly feel his progress in the escape technique.
He planned to work hard to make up for the last missing link.
Meng Zhou took out an inherited jade slip.
This is an inherited jade slip that Kan Yue handed to him on behalf of President Pan last year. It records a third-level body training method, the true skill of baking the golden body.
What he was paying attention to at the moment was not the body-refining method itself, but a second-level secret method called "Burning the Body in Fire".
There are three stages of the true skill of baking furnace golden body, the first-level iron body, the second-level silver body, and the third-level golden body.
The first-level iron body corresponds to the Qi training realm. The method of cultivation is for the cultivator to soak himself in the bathtub and gradually heat the medicinal bath until it is completely boiling.
The second-level silver body corresponds to the foundation-building realm, and practitioners change water bathing to fire training. This is a very dangerous place.
The water bath can gradually increase the temperature of the medicinal bath by controlling the temperature.
But fire training is different. You either get into the fire and let it burn, or you jump out of the fire and don't let the fire burn. There is a lack of step-by-step steps.
Either you will directly reduce yourself to rubbish, or you will make no progress at all.
The degree is difficult to grasp.
After all, the Baking Furnace Golden Body True Skill is also a third-level body training method. For this problem, there is naturally a solution.
The solution is the secret method of "burning oneself in fire".
When a practitioner masters this secret technique, he can survive safely in the blazing flames without worrying about being hurt by the flames.
When a practitioner masters this secret method, it is equivalent to mastering a flame power adjustment switch.
The purpose is to ensure the life safety of those who practice the "Golden Body Baking Skill" as much as possible.
It is a necessary protective supporting measure for this physical exercise method.
Meng Zhou's evaluation of this body-training method is low, and that is also compared to other third-level cultivation methods he has come into contact with.
For Meng Zhou, who is currently only at the second level of body training and building the eighth level of foundation, this body training method is still extremely nutritious.
From then on, Meng Zhou devoted himself to studying the secret method of "burning oneself in fire".
In order to speed up his understanding and get started quickly, Meng Zhou condensed a continuous burning second-order low-grade spiritual fire in the open space in front of the Yashe through the formation method - this is very easy for him to do now.
matter.
Meng Zhou walked into this spiritual fire from time to time, and took the initiative to remove all protection, allowing the burning spiritual flames to burn directly on his body.
The first few times, I was quite embarrassed because I was too unfamiliar.
Fortunately, this method also accelerated his learning and understanding of this secret technique.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, I successfully learned the secret technique of burning myself in fire.
It was also on that day that this secret art completed its introduction, the accumulation of initial achievements, and advanced to Xiaocheng.
"Burn yourself in the fire and make a small success 200/3000"
From the perspective of upgrade difficulty alone, this secret technique is at the same level as the Golden Escape Technique.
However, one advantage of practicing this secret technique is that it can increase the power of the spiritual fire outside the body, increase the consumption of monster meat per unit time, and accelerate the accumulation of experience.
On the 18th, Meng Zhou, who had practiced all day, gained 3,200 experience points in this secret technique.
This also allowed him to complete the accumulation of small achievements in secret skills and enter Dacheng.
"Burn in Fire and Dacheng 400/6000"
On the 19th, burn in fire experience +3200,
On the 20th, add 3200 experience points.
When Meng Zhou stopped practicing this secret skill late that night and entered the quiet room to start retreat, this secret skill had already completed the accumulation of great achievements and advanced to the realm of master.
"The Burning Master 800/12000"
…
In the late first month of the first month, the secret technique of burning one's body in fire completed the accumulation of master level and was promoted to grand master.
"The Grandmaster Burned in Fire 11200/24000"
…
Early morning on the seventh day of March.
Burning one's body in the fire to complete the accumulation of master levels and advance to perfection.
As this technique is perfected, a lot of experiences and insights emerge in my mind.
Meng Zhou, who was surrounded by the blazing spiritual fire, felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He felt that he had transformed into the spirit of the flames, and that he no longer had the slightest thought of confrontation with the surrounding spiritual fire, but was completely integrated into it, as if he had become a part of the flames.
When Meng Zhou first learned the secret art of burning oneself in fire, he felt that an invisible barrier had been formed around his body. Even if he was in the flames, he would not be afraid of the frontal burning of the flames.
But as his mastery of this secret technique became deeper and deeper, this barrier did not become thicker and thicker. Instead, his affinity with the flame became stronger and stronger.
Until now, as this secret technique has been completely perfected, that barrier has quietly disappeared.
But the flames didn't hurt him at all, as if he was part of the flames.
After the skill was perfected, Meng Zhou did not stop practicing, but continued to stay in the fire.
The purpose of his practicing this technique was not the secret technique itself.
His body shape suddenly switched, sinking from the burning flames to blending with the soil underground.
When he once again switched from the state of Earth Escape Technique to the state of the Burning Body in Fire Secret Technique, he was as blessed as his soul. Meng Zhou's figure surrounded by spiritual flames completely disappeared from the flames and completely melted into this mass.
In the burning spiritual flame.
At this moment, groups of spiritual flames appeared in other corners of the courtyard.
They are large and small, some are like a burning candle, and some are several meters in diameter.
The quality also has different levels, there are first-level and low-grade spiritual flames, and there are second-level and top-grade spiritual flames.
A tiny bit of spiritual aura jumped and flowed in these balls of flames.
After a while, this wisp of spiritual aura stayed on a small candlelight that was only a first-grade low-grade candle, and Meng Zhou's figure emerged from it.
There was still a look of surprise on his face.
He was ready for a protracted war. After all, it took a long time to master the Wood Escape Technique and the Metal Escape Technique using similar methods.
He himself never thought that he would comprehend the fire escape technique so quickly.
It seems that with the completion of the secret art of burning oneself in fire, it is a matter of course for him to master the fire escape technique.
"This is also thanks to the escape techniques I have mastered."
As he masters more and more escape techniques, his understanding, experience, and vision in this area are also improving simultaneously.
"Introduction to Fire Escape Technique 50/750"
Through experiments, all the qualities of the spiritual flames were replaced with second-level top-grade spiritual flames. The further the flame jumps each time, the more mana is consumed and the more experience is gained.
Therefore, after starting the formal leveling of Fire Escape Technique, Meng Zhou did not do anything too fancy and only retained two groups of second-level top-grade spiritual flames.
They are located at the farthest opposite ends of the courtyard.
He jumped back and forth between the two groups of spiritual flames.
On this day, the Fire Escape Technique completed the accumulation of entry and initial success, and advanced to Xiaocheng.
"Fire Escape Skill 100/3000"
The next day, the eighth day of the lunar month.
This spell gained 2800 experience points, which was still much less than burning oneself in flames.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, Fire Escape Technique completed the accumulation of minor achievements and advanced to Dacheng.
On the evening of the tenth day of the lunar month, when Meng Zhou finished practicing the fire escape technique.
"Great Fire Escape Technique 5500/6000"
…
Mid-March.
He gained a total of 19,600 points of experience in the Fire Escape Technique, completed the accumulation of Dacheng and Master, and advanced to the Grandmaster level.
Late.
Meng Zhou continued to practice the Fire Escape Technique, and finally on the morning of the 29th, he completely completed the accumulation of this Escape Technique at the master level and reached perfection.
Earth Escape Technique.
Water escape technique.
Wood Escape Technique.
Golden Escape Technique.
Fire Escape Technique.
There is also the flying escape technique.
Shadow Escape.
Electro-optical escape.
Meng Zhou was calculating in his mind and suddenly realized that he had mastered so many escape techniques without even realizing it.
With the perfection of the Fire Escape Technique, it was as if the missing most critical link had been completed, and various escape techniques that had been mastered were flashing through Meng Zhou's heart.
They were like a marquee, flashing through Meng Zhou's mind.
Meng Zhou felt that his understanding of escape techniques had reached a certain mysterious level at this moment.
"What else is missing?"
He felt that such an opportunity could not be wasted.
Meng Zhou suddenly remembered the scene when he first came to Sanchuan Plain, when he had perfected the gentle wind technique, and transformed into a gentle wind, blowing on the spiritual field.
At that time, his body transformed into the wind, but he did not completely transform into the wind. He also used techniques related to stealth and invisibility.
Just in terms of appearance and feeling, there is an experience of being transformed into the wind.
But in fact, there is still a long way to go before it actually becomes the wind.
But at this moment, when he thought about this, Meng Zhou's various insights on the Wind Technique, the Hurricane Technique, and the Wind Sword Style of Wind, Flower, Snow and Moon were instantly integrated in his mind.
The next moment, his figure was seen disappearing from the spot, and a breeze spread from where he was, blowing silently in the courtyard.
Meng's body turned into a breeze, sometimes gentle, sometimes loose, sometimes fast, sometimes violent, sometimes soaring and circling...
When he finally finished the experience and appeared again, he couldn't help but think:
"I wonder if I can use my strength in the Gangfeng layer to travel around in my current state?"
There is an upper limit to the flight altitude of the Foundation Establishment Monk.
About three thousand feet above the ground is the Gangfeng layer.
The strong wind that swept across the nine heavens was blown away by the magic power of the foundation-building monks.
Therefore, although the foundation-building monks have initially escaped from the shackles of the earth, they are still far away from truly entering and leaving the Qingming and traveling in Taixu.
The gap between the two is like the difference between a turtledove and Kunpeng.
Meng Zhou couldn't help but wonder, if he could use the wind escape technique he had just learned, like a fly attached to a horse's tail, and with the help of the strong wind layer, would he be able to travel between places more calmly.
At least, it is extremely dangerous for foundation building, and the dangerous places that lie between the various domains will no longer be an obstacle to me.
However, this thought only circulated in Meng Zhou's mind before he took the initiative to suppress it.
"Wind Escape Technique 50/750".
Meng Zhou temporarily put aside the newly learned wind escape technique and continued to immerse himself in the wonderful realization.
With the unexpected harvest of the Wind Escape Technique, Meng Zhou felt that the mysterious understanding of the Escape Technique that he had developed due to the perfection of the Fire Escape Technique had been reduced a lot.
He knew in his heart that at most, he could take advantage again, and this wonderful, enlightenment-like state would disappear.
"What else?"
As Meng Zhou's thoughts turned, the second-order top-notch flying sword Moon Blade silently turned into a crescent moon, swimming silently in the void around him.
Soon, the Flying Sword and Moon Blade disappeared into the void, leaving only a very thin thread that would lose its trace if not careful, traveling through the void.
The sword becomes silk.
This is the Shadow Killing Sword Codex.
When he first came into contact with the art of sword control, the first thought that came to Meng Zhou's mind was not to kill enemies with a sword, but to fly with a sword.
This was an impression from his previous life, but after actually experiencing it, Meng Zhou knew that flying with a sword was really stupid.
The mana consumption is high and the conversion efficiency is low. It is easier and more convenient to use the flying escape technique directly.
Moreover, this is not handsome at all, it just looks stupid.
Standing on the flying sword, the movement is restricted, and the flying sword is also restricted. It is simply "torturing each other".
Therefore, Meng Zhou gave up this idea a long time ago.
However, after mastering the Shadow Sword Code and practicing it to perfection, I saw that it could travel between the "real world" and the "real world" so freely and at will.
It can even "open the door" at any time by creating a small shadow at any time. It does not necessarily need to rely on the shadow environment. It can be so free and casual, and light and shadow can roam.
It's much more flexible than his own use of shadow escape.
"If only it could take me with it."
Meng Zhou had such a thought in his heart at that time, but it was just a thought.
He knew very well that the level of difficulty for a flying sword to reach this level and for his body to reach this level were completely different levels of difficulty.
That idea is simply not realistic.
At this moment, Meng Zhou thought about it again, but found that it was so simple.
He just used his proficient skills in earth escape, water escape, wood escape, metal escape, and fire escape to turn himself into a little breath, attach it to the flying sword, and change the control of the flying sword into
"Riding a flying sword".
As soon as his thoughts were clear, Meng Zhou's figure had disappeared in the next moment. A shadow area appeared at the tip of the moon blade. As soon as the tip of the blade was inserted into that area, the moon blade quickly disappeared in the void.
When he reappeared, the moon blade had cut out from the far end of the courtyard.
The moon blade sometimes rotates, sometimes glides silently, sometimes flashes and wanders.
Meng Zhou discovered that when he controlled the flying sword in this state, except for the greater consumption of mana, he did not feel any discomfort. On the contrary, he had a wonderful experience of the fusion of the human sword - the true fusion of the human sword.
Meng Zhou felt that Feijian was like a surfboard that was firmly stepped on by his feet. He was the wave maker, the spirit of heaven and earth, controlling this surfboard to freely appear and disappear among the rough waves.
"One body has traveled three thousand miles, and one sword has served as a division for millions."
Meng Zhou appeared again, thinking of this sentence for no reason, imagining the scene of a sword traveling thousands of miles and running wild.
"Wonderful!"
Thinking of such an exciting scene, Meng Zhou couldn't help but admire in his heart.
However, if he always had such leisurely days as he does now, after asking himself, Meng Zhou found that he would rather stay in the yard, brew a cup of forest tea, and explore the secrets of spiritual practice.
…
In the skill bar, a new skill appears, but this new skill has no name, but a question mark displayed as "???".
"There is no doubt that this is another kind of escape technique, and it utilizes the essence of the Shadow Killing Sword Code... The Jue Shadow Sword Escape, let's call it the Jue Shadow Sword Escape."
"The Ultimate Sword Escape Guide 40/750"
And with the mastery of this sword escape technique, the mysterious enlightenment that arose in Meng Zhou's heart due to the perfection of the fire escape technique slowly dissipated.
Meng Zhou looked at this newly acquired sword escape technique, and then at the natural sword body that had reached 99% completeness, and couldn't help but think:
"After you have perfected the Jue Ying Sword Escape, can you complete the sword body?"
With this in mind, Meng Zhou did not continue to practice, but used his spiritual consciousness to scan the front yard. Seeing that Yang Chong and his wife were meditating in the courtyard, he sent a message to them to come here.
Soon, the two people asked to meet outside the hospital.
Meng Zhou called the two of them in, and his "clearly discerning" eyes scanned the two of them carefully.
As early as August or September last year, Yang Chong's cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi training.
And a little later, Liu Ying, with the help of Yang Chong, also raised her cultivation to the peak of the ninth level of Qi training at the end of last year.
With their qualifications, if they wanted to break through and build a foundation, they could have tried last year.
But none of them did this.
As their cultivation reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi training, they devoted all their efforts to the cultivation of various skills.
However, the two have different priorities.
Liu Ying's skills are all focused on the development of various senses.
The skills that Yang Chong cultivated were concentrated on various sword skills.
In terms of their current cultivation level, not to mention Liu Ying, the sword skills that Yang Chong has practiced, even the so-called murder sword skills, will only minimally improve his current combat power.
This is both their own choice and Meng Zhou's request for them.
Seeing each other again at this moment, the auras of the two of them were more solemn and thicker than last year.
Obviously, even though they had raised their cultivation to the peak of Qi training, they still did not relax.
After looking at it for a while, Meng Zhou looked at Yang Chong and asked, "How many perfect sword skills have you mastered now?"
At this point, Meng Zhou added another sentence: "Those sword skills that are too similar can only be counted as one. On this point, cheating is not allowed."
After saying that, he looked at Liu Ying and said, "Same for you."
Liu Ying nodded slightly.
Yang Chong has already reported back: "I have cultivated the eighth sword skill to perfection."
Meng Zhou raised his eyebrows and said in surprise:
"So fast, I remember you only perfected five of them at the end of last year, including two that you had already perfected in the world of ordinary martial arts.
You have perfected three more skills, isn't it equivalent to perfecting one sword skill every month this year?"
Yang Chong replied:
"Because I want to avoid those sword skills that are too similar, before this year, whenever I perfected a sword skill and continued to practice the next one, the accumulation of perfect sword skills did not provide me with
Too much help.
But as I mastered the fifth sword skill to perfection at the end of last year, it was like a window opened in my heart.
If I continue to practice other sword skills, the efficiency will be very fast. Even if there is no similarity or even conflict with the sword theory, a steady stream of insights will come to my mind."
Just as Yang Chong finished speaking, Liu Ying added next to him:
"I feel the same way. When I perfected my fifth sensory martial skill, and now I practice this sixth martial skill, the effect suddenly became much faster."
Meng Zhou nodded when he heard this. This was similar to his own experience.
Therefore, there are two extremely high thresholds for his experiment.
First, practitioners must have enough talent, enough perseverance, and enough determination to practice a skill to perfection.
This is the first threshold.
According to Meng Zhou's observation, in the current world of spiritual practice, where qi-training monks are becoming more and more common, this threshold can block more than 90% of qi-training monks.
After that, after one skill has been cultivated to perfection, the second, third, and up to the fifth skill with strong correlations must be cultivated to perfection.
This threshold will probably block more than 90% of the monks who pass the first threshold.
But if one can continuously pass these two thresholds, the cultivator will basically be qualified to "change one's fate against the will of heaven."
It's because of his lack of talent, and he relied on his tenacious perseverance to get to this point.
The "real corner" presented by the five dissimilar but strongly related skills is its strongest golden finger compared to other monks at the same level.
Based on this, continue to accumulate, and when you practice Qi to break through the barrier and build the foundation, that is——
take off!
After understanding the current progress of the two men, Meng Zhou said to Yang Chong:
"Soon, the Jade Heart Vermillion Fruit will begin to bear fruit, and the demand for spiritual rainwater will also become extremely huge.
In the next three months, until the Yuxin Zhuguo harvest is complete, there will be an adequate supply of spiritual rain every day.
In the next three months, you should work harder and pay more attention."
Yang Chong nodded and accepted the order.
After the two left, Meng Zhou began to practice the wind escape technique.
Before the end of the day, Wind Escape Technique completed the accumulation of the introductory stage and advanced to the first level.
On March 30th, after practicing for a whole day, this technique once again gained 2900 experience points, completing the accumulation of initial achievements and advancing to minor achievements.
"Wind Escape Skill Small Success 2600/3000"
Late at night, just before Meng Zhou was about to enter the quiet room and start his routine retreat, he called out two mysterious turtles that were pretending to be dead at the bottom of the pond.
He solemnly said: "From now on, you must ensure that this pool of water is always full. If there is a shortage, replenish it immediately!"
The two turtles nodded quickly.
Then, Meng Zhou said to Grasshopper Yaya:
"Yaya, you look at the canal. As long as the water line in the canal drops to the white line, open the gate.
When the water line is flush with the edge of the canal, close the gate."
"It's your order!" Yaya's six small and thin grasshopper legs paused on the water and solemnly took over this latest task.
…
Early morning on the third day of April.
Cultivation progress +20, foundation building eight levels 610/1000.
The three-polar cycle of essence, energy, and spirit stopped because the negative energy had once again accumulated to the limit in the body. Meng Zhou's consciousness also slowly recovered from the deep state of trance and returned to the real body.
After finishing the retreat, Meng Zhou walked out of the quiet room.
As soon as I left the quiet room, I saw a strange scene.
A thick layer of clouds and rain is like a huge pot lid, no more and no less, covering the pond area impartially.
The several-meter-thick layer of clouds and rain, like twisting a towel, injects a steady stream of spiritual rainwater into the pond below, keeping the water level in the pond at a level with the edge.
At the bottom of the pond, a steady stream of spiritual rainwater pours into the canal along the gate.
With a sweep of his consciousness, Meng Zhou knew that it was Gui Er who was using his natural ability to rain at this moment, and Gui Da was playing leisurely next to him.
They all seemed to notice Meng Zhou coming out of seclusion, and they all became nervous.
Meng Zhou didn't pay too much attention. Seeing the two turtles working diligently, he wouldn't just point fingers at them casually.
Arriving under the eaves of Yashe, Meng Zhou made himself a pot of spiritual tea.
The consciousness sank into the moon mirror of the sea of consciousness and observed the situation outside the courtyard.
"Grows up really fast!"
Although I had expected it, I was still very surprised to see such a huge change in the Qianmu Spiritual Field in just two days of retreat.
The jade-heart red fruit vine that was originally "clean" three days ago is now densely covered with grape-like fruit bunches.
The spiritual fruits are green in color and each one is about the size of a thumb. They are stacked together like an upside-down conical pagoda and hung on jade-heart red fruit vines.
Because there is a pergola to support the shape, it looks particularly pleasing.
At this moment, each green spiritual fruit was covered with a thin layer of water vapor.
Yang Chong is leading a group of qi-training monks to continuously draw water from reservoirs, and some pour the spiritual water into the roots of the jade-heart red fruit vines.
Some use magic to disperse it into a mist, which is attached to the spiritual fruits, leaves, and long stems.
The dry and water-deficient Sanchuan Plateau creates a scene of mist.
Meng Zhou saw that everything was progressing in an orderly manner, and the thousand acres of jade-heart red fruit vines that he had specially "sharpened" also performed very well, with each plant showing a tenacious and tenacious character.
"There is no problem."
After it was over, Meng Zhou took a look at the growth of the spiritual plants in the other three thousand acres of spiritual fields. After finding that everything was fine, he took back his thoughts and continued to practice the wind escape technique.
By the end of early April, Wind Escape Technique had successively completed the accumulation of minor, grand, and master levels.
Finally, on the tenth day of the lunar month, he was promoted to master.
"Wind Escape Master 1900/24000"
…
Mid.
Wind Escape once again gained 20,300 experience points, reaching "Grandmaster 22,200/24,000"
…
Late.
On the evening of the 23rd, the Wind Escape Technique completed the accumulation of master levels and advanced to perfection.
After that, Meng Zhou continued to practice Jue Ying Sword Escape.
When it ended in late April, Jue Ying Sword Escape had brought a total of nearly 20,000 experience points to Meng Zhou.
Successively completed the accumulation of entry, initial success, small success, and great success.
The accumulation of master level is also mostly completed.
"Jueying Sword Escape Master 8100/12000"
It should be mentioned that Jue Ying Sword Escape can provide Meng Zhou with slightly more experience every day than Wind Escape Technique.
When he devotes all his efforts to training, the Wind Escape Technique can bring him up to 2900 experience points every day, while the Shadow Sword Escape Technique can bring him 3000 experience points at most.
In addition, practicing Jue Ying Sword Escape consumes nearly 50% more monster meat than practicing Wind Escape.
Because casting Jue Ying Sword Escape consumes much more mana than casting Wind Escape.
He not only needs to use mana to supply himself, but also to provide energy for the flying sword to switch back and forth between the real world and the real world.
…
Early May.
Jueying Sword Escape once again gained 17,100 experience points, completed the master accumulation, and was promoted to grand master.
"Jueying Sword Escape Grandmaster 17100/24000".
…
Mid.
May 15. Noon.
Jueying Sword Escape has completed the accumulation of the master level and advanced to perfection.
A large amount of insights and experiences poured into his mind. After sorting out these gains, Meng Zhou's consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness, paying attention to the changes in the soul pool.
Unfortunately, after a long time, the true form of the Jue Ying Sword Escape that appeared in the soul pool had begun to disappear, and the attraction he expected from his natural sword body did not come.
"It should be that the fit is not good enough. Jueying Sword Escape, although it has the charm of sword control, its focus is still on the escape technique.
Moreover, the charm of the sword and the Shadow Killing Sword Canon also have a high degree of overlap, which is equivalent to the second creation of the Shadow Killing Sword Canon."
Meng Zhou thought in his mind.
He guessed that if he took a drop of Life Spirit Essence, he could still forcibly "stick" the Jueying Sword Escape and the Innate Sword Body together.
But he just thought about this idea, then shook his head and threw it aside.
A twisted melon is not sweet.
Since the Jue Ying Sword Escape doesn't fit well enough, then it's time to find one that does.
…
"So, what direction should we take next?"
Meng Zhou was thinking in his mind when he suddenly heard a lowing sound like a cow coming from the direction of the pond.
Moreover, the voice was very low, as if coming from deep water.
Meng Zhou's eyes lit up and he immediately had an idea.
In a flash, he was already above the pond.
Then, his figure floated down lightly and sat cross-legged on the turtle's back.
Turtle Da, who was having fun with Gu Er, was immediately startled. Then, he enlarged his body a lot so that the man on Turtle's back could have the best riding experience.
Seeing that the Xuanling Turtle beneath him did not dare to scream because of his arrival.
Meng Zhou was amused in his heart, so he knocked the turtle's back loudly and reprimanded:
"Just play whatever you want, just pretend I don't exist."
Guida was stunned for a moment, wondering if this request was too difficult.
Otherwise...you can still kill my two brothers!
"..." Gui Er.
…
No matter what kind of struggles Guida went through, in the end, Meng Zhou was once again immersed in the mooing sound of the Xuanling Turtle.
In this cry, the entire body of the Xuanling Turtle was greatly stimulated. Even Meng Zhou, who was sitting cross-legged on the back of the turtle, could clearly feel the aftermath hitting his face, immersing his whole body in it.
The experience is quite good.
After adapting to this state, Meng Zhou took out a second-level top-grade Qingyin Lingzhu kept in the Nakong gourd.
After carefully sensing it, Meng Zhou made some adjustments to the entire Qingyin Lingzhu using the perfect quality of chemical transformation.
Then, he took out four pieces of the second-grade top-grade Qingyin Lingzhu spiritual material. With the ingenious combination of those scraps, he took out three pieces of the second-grade top-grade Qingyin Lingzhu.
The price of the raw material of Qingyin Lingzhu is not much different from that of second-level top-grade wood-type spiritual materials such as steel scale wood, and the value is around eight or nine high-grade spiritual stones.
However, flutes or other musical instruments made from clear-sounding bamboo are much more expensive than those made from steel-scaled wood.
This is because making musical instruments requires higher requirements for the craftsman, who must not only be proficient in weapon crafting, but also be proficient in musical instruments.
This requirement is indeed a bit high. Even Meng Zhou practiced the Roar of the Peaks to perfection. To be fair, this has nothing to do with mastering the melodies.
This is a wild roar, a dry howl.
It has nothing to do with melodiousness.
Therefore, strictly speaking, he is just trying to catch a duck to the shelves, struggling to do so.
"However, I don't really want to make a bamboo flute that can play beautiful fairy sounds. It's not a big problem."
Meng Zhou put away four pieces of the second-grade top quality bamboo and two pieces of the second-grade high-grade voiceless spiritual bamboo, leaving only one piece of second-grade high-quality voiceless spiritual bamboo in his hand.
This piece of Qingyin Lingzhu is about one meter long and slightly thicker than your thumb.
It is as smooth as jade inside and out, feels warm and cool to the touch, and has a streamlined outline that looks extremely comfortable.
Sitting cross-legged on the back of the Xuanling Turtle, bathing in their innate roar, Meng Zhou placed the voiceless spirit bamboo across his lap.
Magic power, spiritual consciousness, and the power of qi and blood naturally seep into it.
To feel the spiritual rhythm hidden within it.
From time to time, spiritual raindrops would fall from above.
At first, the two turtles were very careful when it rained, carefully avoiding the rain falling directly on them.
Because this involves a lot of energy, even the efficiency of rainfall has dropped a lot.
It wasn't until Meng Zhou said it didn't matter that the two turtles stopped doing this.
Bathing in the heavy rain did not affect Meng Zhou's progress in understanding.
Instead, I felt physically and mentally happy because of this novel experience.
…
Before we knew it, it was late May.
At this moment, Yuxinzhuguo has changed a lot compared to early April.
The size hasn't changed much, each one is still about the size of a thumb.
However, the color has changed from green to orange.
As time came to late May, the last trace of green disappeared from the spiritual fruit, replaced by a faint blush.
In addition, the spiritual essence contained within each spiritual fruit has also become more and more profound from the initial shallowness.
May 30, morning.
Meng Zhou held a bamboo flute in his hand. He waved the flute back and forth several times against the void, and a light and sweet sound came from it.
Meng Zhou was satisfied, and then he put it to his mouth, took a deep breath and exhaled, "Woo——"
A shrill scream came from the bamboo flute.
Ugly.
Meng Zhou, the person involved in making the noise, couldn't help but frown at the harsh and magical sound.
However, he soon convinced himself and nodded with satisfaction:
"Yes, yes, it is naturally harsh and has its own characteristics. It is a good material for using the sonic sword."
With this in mind, Meng Zhou put the flute, which he had worked hard for more than ten days, back into the empty gourd, and stood up on the turtle's back.
"In that case, what kind of flute should I use? Is it necessary?
It’s so easy to kill enemies directly with your throat!”
Meng Zhou had made up his mind and was about to realize it again. Suddenly his heart moved and he looked into the sky outside the courtyard.
This was Zhicheng's warning to him that an unexpected guest was coming.
Meng Zhou, who was feeling depressed, took the opportunity to suspend his practice, took the initiative to walk out of the courtyard, and waited beside the Thousand Acres of Jade Heart Crimson Fruit.
Not long after, Governor Li's figure appeared in the distant sky.
Soon, he landed not far in front of Meng Zhou.
He smiled and cupped his hands to Meng Zhou and said, "Fellow Taoist Zhuang, long time no see."
Meng Zhou was a little surprised, but he responded to his greeting with a smile, and then asked curiously: "Fellow Daoist Li, what brought you here today?"
Governor Li looked at the spiritual fruit next to him that had a hint of blush in color. Standing here, there was already a light fragrance filling the air.
He carefully looked at the growth of Qianmu Jade Heart Zhuguo and praised:
"Zhuang Dao is friendly and capable of doing everything to the best of his ability. I have never seen anyone who can grow jade-heart red fruits better than you!"
Meng Zhou smiled and said nothing.
Governor Li praised him and then continued:
"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, at the end of next month, the jade-heart red fruits will be fully mature and harvested. According to the original agreement with the Sanchuan Association, all the output of these thousand acres of jade-heart red fruits will belong to you, and the Sanchuan Association will not take any cents."
Meng Zhou nodded lightly.
At first, there was a shortage of spiritual planters in the Sanchuan Plain, so he was roped in to work as a volunteer for several months, helping other village landowners sort out the spiritual atmosphere of their fields.
The reward Sanchuan will give himself is that the output of these thousand acres of spiritual land will be all his own, and Sanchuan will not take any part of it.
"But have you contacted a good buyer?" Governor Li changed the topic and asked this sentence.
"Contact the buyer?" Meng Zhou was stunned. He stayed in the yard practicing every day and had never considered this matter at all.
Governor Li nodded.
"Yes, with so many Jade Heart Fruits, you can't keep them all in your own hands.
What's more, the price of jade-heart red fruits is just right now, and you will definitely make a lot of spiritual stones once you sell these thousand acres of jade-heart red fruits."
Speaking of this, Governor Li suddenly showed admiration on his face and said with emotion:
"I still remember that you decided to plant jade-heart red fruits, and I would also like to advise you to plant other spiritual plants instead.
At that time, you predicted that the price of jade heart red fruit would inevitably rise.
I have been paying attention to this matter over the past few years, and it is exactly as you speculated.
Although the prices of various spiritual plants have increased in recent years, the annual increase in the price of jade heart red fruit has obviously exceeded the average increase.
The price of the normal Jade-Hearted Crimson Fruit is already more than twice what it was back then, and the quality of your Jade-Hearted Crimson Fruit is so good, it won’t be too difficult to sell it for three times the price it was back then.”
Listening to Governor Li's narration, Meng Zhou was seriously thinking about one thing.
"Should we sell these jade heart red fruits?"
"Who are you selling it to?"
It was impossible for Meng Zhou to spend too much energy on this matter.
However, since Governor Li took the initiative to come to him about this matter, he obviously wanted to help him in this matter.
As long as he is willing, he can leave this matter to him and run, he just needs to make the final decision.
This is quite easy.
With this thought in his mind, Meng Zhou said: "I didn't expect that you have been paying attention to this matter. Can you give me an estimate of how many spiritual stones I can sell for my thousand acres of Jade Heart Crimson Fruit?"
Governor Li took a careful look around the thousand-acre spiritual field and finally gave the answer.
"According to my estimation, these jade heart red fruits of yours can sell 300 high-grade spiritual stones."
"How much did you say?!" Meng Zhou asked in shock.
(It was uploaded in a hurry, and the title was too careless, so it was changed to "Ten Escape Techniques, the Fruit Will Be Ripe")
