I had already laid the foundation by practicing the simplified version of Water Dragon Technique before. It was not difficult to condense the water dragon. I succeeded after a few attempts.
Water Dragon Armor is not difficult at all, and waterbending does not require practice at all, but Water Dragon Prison and Ten Thousand Dragons Going to Sea are very difficult.
After practicing hard for more than ten days, Water Dragon Prison can only produce a fist-sized bubble, which can be broken with just a poke, let alone trap the enemy.
Casting Ten Thousand Dragons to the Sea can only turn one water dragon into two, and the hand-to-hand combat ability is worse than not using Ten Thousand Dragons to Sea.
These two spells rely on strong spiritual power and are powerful only if they are highly cultivated. He is just a Qi-training monk, so it is not easy to perform them.
If you want to use it against the enemy, that's just thinking too much.
Wang Daoyuan was not discouraged. He practiced the full version of Water Dragon Technique and his strength improved somewhat.
The water dragon's hand-to-hand combat capabilities and the dragon's power as a deterrent to monsters have been greatly enhanced.
In addition, the defense power of Water Dragon Armor is greatly increased, and after using Water Dragon Armor, with the help of water-bending skills, the power of other water-attribute spells can also be increased.
The most important thing is that as your cultivation level improves in the future, the combat effectiveness of Water Dragon Technique will also be greatly improved.
It took more than ten days to practice the Water Dragon Technique, and there were less than twenty days until the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
By this time, there should be someone selling second-level spiritual items in Qinglifang City.
Before going to Qinglifang City, he first went to the cave of his fourth uncle Wang Shouyuan and asked him to help him find out whether those plants that only had leaves but no flowers were actually black jade lotus.
If so, keep it well, if not, dig it up.
After raising it for such a long time, it can only be used to wrap beggar chickens, which is such a waste of spiritual land.
Arriving at the cave where his fourth uncle Wang Shouyuan lived, he saluted and said: "Fourth uncle, I have a question about spiritual plants to ask you."
Wang Shouyuan smiled and said: "You have been jumping up and down all day, why are you suddenly interested in spiritual plants?"
Wang Daoyuan ignored his fourth uncle's ridicule, took out a lotus leaf and said: "Fourth uncle, I got a lotus over there at Green Liuzhou.
It looks like a black water lily, but it won't bloom. Can you tell me what's wrong?"
Wang Shouyuan took the lotus leaf, observed it carefully, and explored it with his spiritual consciousness. Finally, he tore off a small piece of lotus leaf and put it into his mouth to taste.
After thinking for a long time, he said slowly: "This is definitely not a black water lotus. Although it looks very similar, the smell and taste are slightly different, and the medicinal properties are also different.
Some are like Black Jade Lotus. I don’t have much research on the medicinal properties, so I can’t be sure.
Let's go to your seventh uncle's place and let him judge the properties of the medicine.
He is an alchemist and knows more about the medicinal properties of elixirs, so his judgment should be more accurate than mine."
The two came to Wang Shouhong's cave and took out lotus leaves.
Wang Shouhong tore off a small piece of lotus leaf, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it.
Then, he closed his eyes and meditated, refining this small piece of lotus leaf.
Half a quarter of an hour later, he stopped refining and said with certainty: "This is definitely not the black water lotus. There is an extremely weak power in the lotus leaf that has an effect on the soul. There is a high possibility that it is the black jade lotus."
Wang Daoyuan asked doubtfully: "But why doesn't it bloom? That lotus must be more than twenty years old, and it still only has lotus leaves."
Fourth uncle Wang Shouyuan smiled and said: "It would not be surprising if the black jade lotus does not bloom.
Black jade lotus likes pure yin air, and it can grow well in places where there is no pure yin air, but it will not bloom.
Does that lotus that doesn’t bloom grow in a place where there is no pure yin energy?”
Wang Daoyuan replied: "Indeed, I do know that the black jade lotus needs to be planted in a place of pure shade.
But I thought that without pure Yin energy, it would be completely unable to grow.
That lotus plant grew well, and I thought it wasn’t the black jade lotus plant, but that I wasn’t good at it.”
After solving the doubts in my heart and confirming that these five lotuses are indeed black jade lotuses, I will continue to keep them.
He learned from Qi Yun's memory that the secret realm where Wan Zhi Zhenren was seated had an extremely strong Yin energy.
After building the foundation, you can go explore and collect some Yin Qi.
By then, the Black Jade Lotus will be able to live and reproduce normally.
With the value of the Black Jade Nether Lotus, what does it mean to occupy some spiritual fields?
After bidding farewell to his fourth and seventh uncles, he went to the executive hall again and reported to the great elder that he had gone to Qinglifang City to purchase second-level spiritual objects at a low price.
The Great Elder doesn't have any objections. After all, fighting is not allowed in Qinglifang City, and there is no danger in going there.
He did not take the spirit boat, but directly used the cloud and smoke to travel underwater.
When the Water Dragon Armor is cast in the water, the waterbending technique is activated automatically, and the speed of Yunyan Escape is increased by nearly 20%.
Coupled with the power of the water dragon armor, the monsters in the water automatically avoided it, and it took only half a day to reach Qinglifang City.
Over the past ten days, Qinglifang City has become even more lively.
Some second-level spiritual objects began to appear on the street stalls, such as second-level weapon refining materials, green jade bamboo poles, Ziyang copper ore, etc.
He doesn't have much use for these things. There is no need to waste spiritual stones and fund competitors. His main focus is on the stall selling elixirs.
Not far away, I saw a stall selling elixirs.
He stopped in front of the stall and scanned the entire stall with his spiritual consciousness. He found no valuable elixir, so he continued to move forward.
The stall owner quickly stopped him: "This Taoist fellow from the Wang family, I have some good stuff here. I wonder if you are interested in it?"
Wang Daoyuan asked: "I don't know what good thing it is. Fellow Taoist, please take it out and take a look."
The stall owner took out a one-foot-long piece of dead grass from his storage bag. This dead grass had no branches, only a single stem.
The leaves are fan-shaped, and after drying, they stick tightly to the grass stems, resembling dragon scales. This is the grassweed.
He collected the foundation-building elixir, and the only supplementary ingredient missing was the dragon tendon grass.
Unfortunately, this plant has withered and cannot be planted.
His consciousness swept towards the dragonweed grass and found three millet-sized seeds in the gaps between the leaves. All three seeds were still alive.
The seeds are caught in the gaps between the leaves and cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Since there were seeds, he naturally wanted to buy them. He took the dragon-weed grass and asked, "Fellow Taoist, please give me a price."
The stall owner was also a cheerful person and said: "One price, five hundred spirit stones."
The price was quite real, so he didn't bargain. He directly took out 500 low-grade spiritual stones, handed them to the stall owner, and put the dragon tendon grass into the spiritual bead space.
At this time, a voice came: "Wait a minute, I want this dragonweed. Boy from the Wang family, hand it over."
Wang Daoyuan turned around and almost stopped laughing. He thought someone was coming, but it turned out to be Liang Zilong, the prodigal son of the Liang family, with a few losers behind him.
Ever since he came to Danfu Pavilion five years ago to look for trouble, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. I haven't seen him jumping around in several years.
I thought he had corrected his evil ways and practiced hard, but I didn't expect that he still didn't make any progress.
This lack of progress not only refers to how one behaves, but also includes one’s cultivation.
Five years ago, he was at the second level of Qi training, and he is still at this level now.
Can this still cause a bottleneck on the second level of Qi training?
Below the peak of Qi training, every third level is a small bottleneck. I have never heard that people can be stuck on the second level of Qi training.
In a place with strong spiritual energy like Qinglifang City, even a person with Wang Daoyuan's qualifications would be able to break through to the third level of Qi training in two or three years without taking any pills.
