Chapter 35 Going to the Countryside, Xiaohe County, Techniques
Xiaohe County, the first stop of Ding Chongguang's investigation, is in the southwest of Qinghe County.
Qinghe City is a place where immortal cultivators gather. It is called the Immortal City, a place where spiritual energy gathers. You can get twice the result with half the effort by cultivating here.
Outside of Qinghe City, in most places in Qinghe County, the spiritual energy concentration is not high, and some places can even dominate in the middle stage of Qi training, as is the case in Xiaohe County.
Xiaohe County belongs to the area with the lowest concentration of spiritual energy in Qinghe County, almost close to none. Even in this era of explosive growth in practitioners, the total number of monks here is only a hundred or so, of which 70 or 80 are at the first or second level of Qi training.
, not much different from ordinary people.
For practitioners, this is a barren and exiled place, but for mortals, this is the largest grain-producing area. One county can supply food to all mortals in the county and still have a surplus.
In addition, the specialty here is some dragon blood rice that is useful for warriors and requires strange production environment.
Ding Chongguang announced the matter in the garbage hall the day before, and the next day, he asked the steward of the garbage hall who used to be responsible for contacting Xiaohe County to drive the horse while he and Qingyue sat in the carriage and read books.
After officially entering Xiaohe County, Ding Chongguang paused slightly while turning the pages of the book, keenly aware of the huge gap in the environment.
"This environment is indeed a bit strange. No wonder few people in the utility hall are willing to come."
He only felt a slight tingling on his skin, and the air around him no longer seemed to welcome him.
The speed of mana running in his body dropped by 80%, and it continued to escape, just like ink dripping into pure water. If he did not concentrate on pulling it, he could control and prevent the mana from escaping.
"Deacon, here, we are not much different from ordinary people. It is inconvenient to use spirit stones to supplement our strength. Please be careful."
Outside the car, the steward behind the wheel also made a dry and contradictory voice. It was quite uncomfortable for him to be dragged back into this environment by his new boss.
His name is Xu Lie, he has the fourth level of Qi training, and he is also an innate warrior. However, his martial arts qualifications are not very good and his overall strength is average.
"Um?"
Ding Chongguang flipped through the "Spell Manual" in his hand and found a page called Spirit Observation. He looked at it a few more times, quickly recalled what he had learned in the Ding family school, controlled the movement of spiritual energy, and stretched out his index finger.
Wipe your middle finger in front of your eyes, open your eyes, and perform the spiritual viewing technique.
In ancient times, monks took the path of refining Qi, practicing Qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to void, and refining void to combine with Tao. If they want to practice magic, they need to spend three years, five years or even most of their lives to understand a certain law and condense a certain Tao.
Seeds and talismans are like summoning the wind and rain to scatter beans to form soldiers, summoning generals and restraining their spirits, changing shapes and shadows, and the flow of the Five Elements Escape Dharma.
In the past ten thousand years, the environment of heaven and earth has changed, and the concentration of spiritual energy has been greatly reduced. It is difficult to discover the laws, and it is more difficult to condense the talismans and Tao seeds. The ancient methods can no longer be relied on, so they began to practice Qi and build foundations, and gradually deduced to the stage of transcending tribulation.
In order to make it easier for monks to choose a path and become familiar with various Taoist laws and spells, the Cultivation Alliance, under the leadership of the Sunda Saint, developed a batch of spells that can be learned quickly during the Qi training period.
This type of spell does not require the condensation of Tao seeds or talismans. It only needs to be based on the mana characteristics of the spell and the use of the characteristics of various organs of the human body, and various basic spells can be used.
Spiritual viewing is the best example of basic magic. Through the study of the natural yin and yang eyes and spiritual eyes, the magic power is used to stimulate the potential of the human eye itself, and then one can see spiritual light.
After using the spiritual observation technique, I saw only one or two red or green light spots scattered around. In the past, these were spiritual light spots that could only be sensed in a state of deep breath-holding and concentration.
Ding Chongguang soon discovered something.
The spiritual energy in him is very stable and will not escape as long as he concentrates.
There is now only a shallow and sparse layer of spiritual energy left in Xu Lei's body, and the mana he has dispersed has been transformed into ordinary spiritual energy by consuming his soul and will, and is quickly dispersed across the world.
They also stepped into the territory of Xiaohe County, and their situations were completely different.
Fortunately, the opponent is already at the fourth level of Qi training, and the spiritual liquid has been condensed, so the recovery of mana is not slow. Otherwise, the hard work of condensing mana for more than ten years will be in vain.
"It's no wonder that the monks on the first and second levels of qi training think this is a place of exile. In such a situation, it is difficult to even condense the magic power and make progress throughout life... But it's just because my cultivation level is higher than that of Xu Lie, so I am less affected.
?"
"No! This is the benefit of having a high level of mana. If my mana quality is still level 5, even if I am already at the eighth level of Qi training, I may not be better than him."
Ding Chongguang quickly thought of the reason and deeply understood the benefits of high-quality mana.
"Yes, the so-called mana is the spiritual energy imprinted with the soul mark. The higher the quality of the mana, in addition to the high purity of the mana, the soul mark will definitely be deeper and more powerful. The monks have greater control over the mana, so they will not escape easily.
"
This is like a magnet. As long as the magnetic force is strong, external things will not affect the things on the surface of the magnet.
Thinking of this, Ding Chongguang continued to use the spiritual observation technique to look at the very rare spiritual energy light spots around him, observing their status and brightness, and trying to distinguish each light spot.
"Perhaps this is the reason why I chose Xiaohe County as my first stop when I was in a state of high luck."
"This Xiaohe County is avoided by other cultivators. For those with high levels of mana and good at distraction, it is a rare treasure land where they can hone their will, improve the purity of their mana, and even...
The effect of accelerating spiritual practice is just like the cold jade bed in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can accelerate spiritual practice.
In addition, when performing the technique, in order to enhance the power and avoid waste, more attention will be paid to control."
"The only drawback is that the spiritual energy recovery is relatively slow. When using unskilled spells, the probability of failure is high, but this can be compensated for by consuming spiritual stones.
It consumes luck and increases the success rate of spell casting. In this way, as long as there are enough successes and I understand the state of spell casting, I can quickly become familiar with this spell and improve quickly."
Thinking of Ding Chongguang like this, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he found another goal besides adding the list of destiny books, which was to learn spells.
Opening the "Book of Spells and Techniques", the spells in it are all basic spells summarized by the major sects in the Shenhe World over the years. They are very simple and easy to learn.
Don't underestimate the word "basic". The great significance of this simple book is that no matter how stupid or unscientific people are, they can find techniques that they can quickly master, and then specialize in certain techniques, and
Find a career that suits you.
For example, if you practice "Spirit Observation Technique", you can sense the surrounding spiritual energy.
Don't look at this technique as useless, this technique is actually the prerequisite technique of "Pulse Observation Technique", "Yun Guan Technique", "Acupoint Pointing Technique" and other techniques. Being proficient in "Guan Ling Technique" proves that this person is a Feng Shui master.
He has certain potential as a diviner and formation mage.
Now Ding Chongguang has to choose some suitable techniques to practice.
It was not difficult for him to choose. He quickly selected four spells: "Spirit Observation Technique", "Water Condensation Technique", "Fire Spark Technique" and "Golden Light Technique".
In a place where spiritual energy is thin, every bit of spiritual energy is very conspicuous and independent, and there will be no interference. You can quickly master the spiritual observation technique, so the spiritual observation technique is definitely a must.
The remaining three systems of spells are because Ding Zhong belongs to the three spiritual roots of water, fire, and gold. He has bonuses when casting these three spells. On the other hand, he is not experienced enough in spells and cannot choose compound spells, so he chose the ones that can be used for attack and control.
, can also be used for the four spells of water resources production, fire burning, and lighting.
"With the four spells, combined with the consumption of luck points, you should be able to master them before leaving Xiaohe County."
These spells have been learned and studied in the school, and have a theoretical basis. Now I have enough mana, and the mana has been condensed into the core of spiritual liquid. The soul imprint of the core is strong enough. There is no need to worry about the quality of mana declining due to the use of spiritual stones to replenish mana.
