Mu Qingxue put her hands behind her back and stood on the bow of the boat facing the strong sea breeze. Her long black hair tied into a ponytail fluttered in the wind, while her black cloak, which weighed more than 300 kilograms, remained motionless.
Her pure, sweet and pretty face was filled with excitement and high spirits, as if something great had happened to her.
Well, it is indeed a good thing for her.
For three days after leaving Jiange Island, the fleet encountered only one storm and not a single sea monster.
She also picked up a large wooden box floating on the sea and opened a small jar of "black gold sand" from it.
The so-called "Wujin" is an associated mine of gold. It is very rare and only appears in very few large-scale gold veins. Even in large-scale ore veins associated with Wujin, an average of 10,000 taels of gold must be mined before one gold mine can be produced.
Two black gold.
Wujin is a natural spiritual metal that has the ability to improve the level of divine weapons.
Like the hundred-forged black iron sword and the black ice sword captured by Shen Lang, if two or three taels of black gold were mixed in during forging, the grade would be immediately upgraded to a third-grade sword.
And the small jar of black gold sand that Mu Qingxue picked up this time was worth eight or two six dollars.
Not to mention its value, just using it as a weapon can greatly improve her strength - she has a special talent, her true energy changes, and even ordinary gold can be turned into a weapon that is not inferior to the spiritual iron weapon.
What’s more, Wu Jin?
There was only one storm in three days and she picked up so much black gold sand. In Mu Qingxue's opinion, it was a sign that her fortune would turn around.
Therefore, she is in an extremely good mood now, and she doesn't even care about the trouble caused by the "devil seed" for the time being.
At this moment, Shen Lang and Chen Yuniang went on the deck chatting and laughing.
"Sister, I have developed my internal strength and been promoted to the sixth rank!"
"Congratulations to Sister Yu, this is truly a double happiness."
"Double happiness? I'm not pregnant!"
"Uh...that's not what I meant. What I mean is that my muscles and bones suddenly rang together just now, the sound was like a bell ringing and strings vibrating, and it lasted for half a moment. Isn't this the sign of the eighth-level achievement? Sister Yu, please cultivate your internal strength.
After being promoted to the sixth level, I will reach the eighth level and start to train the internal organs. Isn't it a double happiness?"
"Yes, yes, it's a double blessing. But you have just reached the eighth level, and I have already been promoted to the sixth level. You must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and work hard to catch up with me as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Sister Yu, I will definitely catch up with you."
"However, I feel a little confused. You have to spend so much time practicing magic every day. If you are martial arts, I am afraid it will be delayed. But it doesn't matter. Magic is indeed more powerful than martial arts. That old boy Li Ying is not even a seventh-level man.
But back on King Shark Island, a single spell actually made me as clumsy and slow as a snail...I can't even reach the fifth level. From now on, you practice spells, I practice martial arts, I charge in front, and you are here
We will use magic to contain them from behind, and if we join forces, we will be invincible..."
"Yeah, yeah, invincible in the world."
"Speaking of which, how many spells do you know now?"
"Not much, just a mediocre flame finger and four ninth-level spells."
"Not bad, I actually learned four ninth-level spells. I'm afraid even the ordinary seventh-level warriors are no match for you."
Hearing this, Mu Qingxue looked back in shock and looked at Shen Lang with a humble face in surprise.
The careless Chen Yuniang didn't know what it meant to learn four ninth-level spells.
Mu Qingxue knew very well that the strength of the soul of a ninth-grade monk could only accommodate three ninth-grade spells at most, plus six minor techniques that were not popular.
Moreover, the soul capacity of those six minor spells cannot be combined to increase the position of a ninth-level spell.
It's like a piece of white paper. You can write three big characters, and then add some small characters to the corners and gaps in the blank space. However, no matter what, it is impossible to move those three big characters around and add another one.
There is enough space to write complete large characters.
Therefore, if it can accommodate the fourth ninth-level spell, it means that the strength of the soul has surpassed the ninth-level spell and reached the eighth-level level.
Shen Lang has not formally practiced the "contemplation method", but with his natural strength of soul, he can accommodate four ninth-level spells?
This is simply...
Well, once in five hundred years, a Taoist genius who has the potential to become an "Earth Immortal" should be like this.
Mu Qingxue calmed down her frightened expression, calmed down her mood, and returned to her usual cool appearance.
At this time, Shen Lang and Chen Yuniang came over to say hello to her. Mu Qingxue nodded slightly and looked at Chen Yuniang:
"Is Lady Jade in the sixth grade?"
Chen Yuniang nodded proudly:
"I didn't have good mental skills before, so I haven't been able to develop internal strength for a long time. I obtained the third-level martial arts Bafanggege Kung Fu on King Shark Island. I have only practiced it for more than ten days, and I have successfully developed internal strength."
Mu Qingxue smiled slightly: "Congratulations."
Xuan raised his right hand again: "Hand in hand?"
"OK!"
Chen Yuniang raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand without any timidity, and held hands with Mu Qingxue.
The palms of the two of them separated as soon as they touched, and Mu Qingxue smiled in approval:
"Although the internal strength is not much, it is extremely pure, giving people the feeling of being as solid as a rock and as steady as the earth. But underneath the appearance of stability, there is also a sense of bursting like a volcano and earthquake. When it is still, it is tough and stable like the earth, and when it moves, it feels like a violent explosion.
Irritated and violent like a volcano. This eight-direction martial art is indeed a martial art that perfectly matches the talent and temperament of a lady."
Chen Yuniang laughed:
"People from Muda are also scholars? These words are really good and perfectly describe my characteristics."
student?
If you don't even pass the examination as a scholar, can you still be considered a scholar just because you can read and write?
A smile flashed in Mu Qingxue's eyes, she coughed lightly and looked at Shen Lang:
"Have you learned another ninth-grade spell?"
"Yeah." Shen Lang nodded: "This time it's an attack spell, called 'Pointing and Archery'."
He made a quick gesture with both hands, recited the incantation, then stretched out his finger, and a translucent cone-shaped ripple shot out from his fingertip, flying several feet away, and shot through a thick oak barrel, revealing two fingers.
Thick and round holes.
Even after it penetrated the barrel, the translucent cone-shaped ripples swept forward and hit the side of the ship until sawdust flew everywhere, revealing a round hole half an inch deep.
Mu Qingxue smiled brightly and praised:
"Sure enough, it's 'pointing and archery'.
"I am quite familiar with this Taoist technique. It is a killing Taoist technique that is widely spread in the East. Almost everyone in the Taoist academy knows it. It can cast spells quickly and has a long range.
"When used by a ninth-grade monk, the power is comparable to that of a military musket. And the higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the power. Judging from the power of your 'pointing arrow technique', it is no less powerful than that used by an eighth-grade monk.
"Although you can't lock on to the enemy, track and attack, you can only go straight forward, but if a seventh-grade warrior is not careful and fails to dodge in time, he will be shot through. With this technique, your two heavy muskets can be discharged.
Already."
Chen Yuniang shook her head and sighed:
"A ninth-level spell can threaten a seventh-level warrior. This world is really unfair..."
Mu Qingxue smiled nonchalantly:
"Spells require too much talent, and they are extremely difficult to practice. Those Taoist secret scrolls are like heavenly books, and the Taoist runes are like ghost drawings. It makes people feel dizzy just by looking at them. Since the practice is so difficult, it is too powerful.
Martial arts is a matter of course."
Seeing that Mu Qingxue admitted that she couldn't understand the Taoist secret scroll that looked like a ghostly talisman, Chen Yuniang suddenly felt like a confidant. Even though Mu Qingxue was still her imaginary love rival, her hidden hostility towards her dissipated a lot, and she looked more
It's pleasing to the eye.
At this time, Mu Qingxue reminded Shen Lang again:
"Although your talent is good, you are still a human and not a god. Your soul has its limits and it is impossible to learn all the spells.
"So when choosing spells, you need to carefully consider them and match them appropriately. Otherwise, if you make a mistake in matching them, it will be extremely troublesome to wash out the spells and choose again in the future.
"As far as I know, even a 'spiritual transformation pill' that can only wash away a ninth-level spell is worth a hundred taels of gold."
The so-called washing away spells refers to destroying the Taoist runes that are no longer needed.
Because Taoist runes are constructed with spiritual thoughts and integrated with the soul, they cannot be easily destroyed after they are formed, otherwise they will backfire on the body and damage the soul. If you really want to destroy them, you must use spiritual elixirs to protect them.
Yuanshen, reduce backlash.
And such elixirs are extremely precious and cannot be obtained casually.
According to Mu Qingxue's knowledge, the "spiritual transformation pill" that can deactivate a ninth-level Taoist technique at a slight price can be bought for a hundred taels of gold. The price of the eighth-level elixir has soared to five hundred.
Two pieces per piece. The seventh-grade ones are more expensive, with a minimum of 3,000 taels of gold.
If you go further... forget it, elixirs that can wash away spells of level six or above are simply priceless and unmarketable.
"Thank you Mr. Mu for the reminder."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"When I communicated face-to-face with Ge Qingyun on King Shark Island that day, he also said similar things to me. So the four spells I am learning now are the Wind Shield, the Soul-Destroying Curse, and the Bone Taoist Weapon.
, and the other one is archery.
"In this way, defense, control, helpers, and attacks are all covered. Such a combination should be considered reasonable."
Mu Qingxue nodded slightly:
"As long as you know how powerful they are. The secret spell scrolls copied from King Shark Island are not very good. The four spells you have learned are already the most practical among them. Don't learn any more useless spells next.
Great side magic, once you enter the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy, there are many powerful Taoist skills for you to choose from."
What she said was quite right.
However, there is actually an eighth-grade Taoist technique, which is relatively practical.
That technique is called "Flame Knife" and it can fire a flaming blade with a range of forty meters.
Although this technique cannot track and lock the enemy, if the enemy is prepared, reacts quickly, and has flexible movement, he may be able to dodge successfully. However, in terms of power, there is no problem in killing an ordinary sixth-grade warrior.
Shen Lang's current mental strength is enough to construct an eighth-grade Taoist technique.
It won't even take long for him to construct the seventh-level Taoist technique - during these days, he insisted on clicking the little moon of the Demon Taming Technique three times a day and practiced the Demon Taming Technique unremittingly.
As of today, his progress in training the second level of Demon Taming Technique has reached 81/100.
Calculated by adding three points of training progress every day, even if there is no reward for the little demon's upgrade, it will only take him seven days at most to reach the third level of "Demon Taming Technique".
By that time, his mental power will have improved dramatically, and he will be able to practice seventh-level Taoism.
As for the secret technique of seventh-grade Taoism, he also happens to have a widely used auxiliary Taoist technique "Water Mirror Image Detection Technique".
So although he was very grateful for Mu Qingxue's kind reminder, Shen Lang decided to learn the "Flame Knife" on the way back to Yingzhou, and then when the Demon Taming Technique reached the third level, he would learn the "Shui Jing"
I learned the art of identifying images.
After chatting with Mu Qingxue for a while, Shen Lang declared that he would continue to study Taoism. He returned to the separate cabin, locked the door, called out Xiao Zhao, and asked him in a tone of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel:
"Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao, when will you be promoted to the psychic realm?"
