After returning to the Taoist temple, Wang Fu continued to devote himself to spiritual practice.
During the trip to the small mountain village, the experience was improved, and several spell modes were verified in actual combat.
After the post-war analysis and summary, Wang Fu extracted the shortcomings and deficiencies, also saw the progress and improvement, and formulated the next practice route and goals.
First of all, the most urgent task is to break through the three realms of Yangguan.
Cultivation is fundamental. The status of Taoist temples, the power of spells, etc. all depend on cultivation.
Wang Fu counted the resources on hand and found that he still had thirty or fifty Caowu Dan, which was enough to support him in breaking through the Three Layers realm.
Time, what he needs most now is time.
"Looks like it's going to be closed down."
Wang Fu planned to ask for leave from Ding Zhangdian and several teachers, and would miss the study and teaching at Erjian Hall. He would not study in various colleges for the time being, and would concentrate on breaking through the realm.
In other words, during this period of time, Wang Fu will be in hiding for a period of time.
For practitioners, this is a common thing. Once they pursue a breakthrough, even if the sky collapses and the earth collapses, and the mountains and rivers flow backwards, they will ignore it and concentrate on practicing in seclusion. They will not give up until they achieve a breakthrough.
And then there are the spells…
The superposition mode of the mountain talisman proves the feasibility of integrating offense and defense, but the shortcomings are also obvious. It is specially designed for types such as powerful supernatural ghosts. When encountering other ghosts who are good at escaping, it is somewhat stretched.
For example, the flying ghost can come and go freely. Although it cannot break the mountain talisman's defense, Wang Fu cannot catch up, so he can only release five ghosts to chase him.
The solar pot composed of the Bright Light Spell has the advantage of clearing out miscellaneous soldiers. Once it encounters the viciousness of a small mountain village, it will be difficult to move at a speed that can keep up with its speed, and most of the time it will fail.
In other words, the ferocious monster successfully took advantage of the ghost's ability to change its shape and move at extremely fast speeds. If not for the final shaping spell, Wang Fu would not have been able to trap the monster, so he even teamed up with his two senior brothers to kill it.
"The control skills are full, and everything else needs to be improved."
Wang Fu concluded.
Although the wind movement technique is fast, without the immortal horse Sheng Yan, it can't catch up with the ghost at the speed of an ordinary galloping horse.
Ghosts are born with the ability to change. Once dispersed into air currents, they are light and fast, which has great advantages over the mortal body.
In particular, the water ghost in the river has a high probability of mastering water escape. When it dives into the water, its speed increases tenfold, and even a horse cannot catch up.
Wang Fu also understands why Yunyang Temple has never stopped calling for the extermination of the ghost tribe's remnants in these years, but the enemy still persists.
It's really because ghosts are too difficult to kill.
"Thunder Talisman, Thunder Method."
Wang Fu's eyes fell on the Five Emperors' Money. The thunder-killing talisman was so powerful that after the ghosts saw it, no one dared to resist them head-on. They dispersed or fled, which created a very embarrassing situation.
As long as the Thunder Killing Talisman is used and thunder light appears, the ghost will know how powerful it is and circle around to prevent Wang Fu from hitting it.
The thunder-killing talisman was reduced to a salute, with great momentum and few results.
Wang Fu also knew that his method of operating thunder was a bit rusty and needed to be improved urgently.
Ding Zhangdian once revealed that among the core secrets of Thunder Fire Palace, there is thunder method.
The so-called thunder method is a complete system of thunder control, including the three thunders of heaven, earth and human beings.
Heavenly Thunder is the intertwining energy of Yin and Yang above the nine heavens, and finally the thunder is born to move clouds and rain. It has the power of creation and the power of destroying Yin and evil. It is regarded as the authority of gods and the supreme existence.
Landmines suppress the existence of the Nine Nether Abyss deep in the earth's core. They rarely appear in the world. They are generally only recorded, and no one can see their true appearance.
According to legend, natural phenomena such as earthquakes and landslides are caused by mine vibrations and should not be underestimated.
The twin thunders of heaven and earth, which ordinary mortals see, are only a small and insignificant part.
According to the Taoist Thunder Book, the real twin thunders of heaven and earth erupt, with enough power to destroy the world.
As for human thunder, it is a variety of thunder techniques that practitioners master through observing the thunder of heaven and earth.
The thunder-killing talisman Wang Fu mastered was the secret method of receiving the scattered energy of the sky thunder and transforming it into human thunder, which was equivalent to taming the ferocious beast and turning it into a docile eagle dog.
However, the tamed thunder loses its ferocity and its power is greatly reduced, which can only be compensated by skill.
"The art of human thunder, the most important thing is to control the law."
Ding Zhangdian said.
However, the thunder method is the core secret of the Thunder Fire Palace, and even many formal disciples have not been able to teach it.
Wang Fu estimated that he would have to at least break through the third level and become a formal disciple before he could be qualified to request observation and study.
In the final analysis, we still have to work hard to break through.
The next day, Wang Fu visited the elders and explained his situation.
"Don't push yourself too hard."
Ding Zhangdian spoke earnestly and thoughtfully, "You are too impatient, but you might as well give it a try."
In his opinion, Wang Fu has made rapid progress from the first level to the second level after one year of entry. Now that he has to enter the third level again, he is too harsh on himself and can easily get into trouble.
"Don't worry, Commander, I know what's going on.
Ding Zhangdian was a little melancholy, "The new disciples have recently started. I originally wanted you to follow me to check and see if you can pick up a few hidden gems from the hands of Sanqing Palace..."
As he spoke, he shook his head with infinite regret.
Since Wang Fu knew the structure of Yunyang Temple, he also understood Ding Zhangdian's unwillingness.
Sanqingdian is a large group. Although it is a joint-stock company, Ding Zhangdian is also a veteran of the empire. However, his shareholding is not high and his voice is not strong enough.
The viewer thinks highly of him, but I can't tell whether it's really about feelings or it's some kind of balancing act.
Recruiting new disciples means absorbing new blood, which is crucial to the continuation of the inheritance. On this point, Sanqing Palace will never give in.
Professor Lu was still on a business trip, but fortunately Professor Qi Wu was there. Wang Fu explained the situation to him, but the other party didn't say anything and patted him on the shoulder.
Over at Nigendo, the atmosphere of self-study has been developed, so there is no need to worry.
Sanqing Hall also needs to explain that Wang Fu is still an exchange student and must ask for leave from the professor at Sanqing Hall.
"You want to break through the third layer?"
Professor Yuan looked strange and pondered for a moment, then said to Wang Fu, "The retreat time does not count as half a year. After it is over, no matter whether you succeed or not, you must come to Sanqing Hall to continue your studies."
After Wang Fu arranged everything, he returned to the courtyard and hung a "nothing sign" at the door, which meant that he was in retreat, so don't disturb him.
In the following days, Wang Fu used the Turtle Breathing Technique and the Lamp Keeping Technique at the same time, switching his magic power between the two techniques, supplemented by the refining practice of Caowu Dan, at a very fast speed.
Combining movement and stillness, I also practiced spells during this period, became familiar with the increased mana, and even had some spiritual tea to quickly restore mana. The time was fully arranged and no time was wasted.
Although the news about his retreat was not publicized, it was eventually spread.
After all, Wang Fu was a prominent figure among the disciples, and many people paid attention to his behavior.
Not only the Leihuo Palace, many friends and fellow disciples are observing, but there are also interested people in the Sanqing Palace.
Chu Hanguang, Yi Wuya, etc. had suffered losses in front of Wang Fu. Now that they learned that Wang Fu was going to break through the Three Layers in retreat, they were one step ahead of them. Unwilling to do so, they all accelerated their practice.
