Chapter 443: Rain
The sun rises in the east and reflects on the earth.
The temperature begins to rise rapidly.
As expected, today is another hot and dry day.
The only exception is the spiritual field in the mountains.
The sky is covered with tiny clouds.
There was also a patter of rain falling.
While bringing a comfortable coolness, it also gathers a richer aura.
Wei Tao took a deep breath and kept breathing.
Immerse yourself in this indescribable feeling.
To him, it doesn't matter whether the spiritual energy is strong or not.
What is really important is that through the effect of Xiaoyunyu Technique, it has suddenly become something that can be absorbed by itself from an existence that it could only perceive but could not touch before.
And it has quite good effects on nourishing the body.
I have to say that Xiaoyunyushu is indeed a good thing.
I just don’t know what requirements I need to meet if I want to learn, in order to become a disciple of Lan Yue and successfully acquire this spiritual technique.
Time passed little by little.
Before I knew it, the clouds had stopped and the rain had stopped.
The whole process only lasted a few minutes.
"This has just begun, is it over?"
Wei Tao suddenly came back to his senses, looked up at the clouds that had disappeared, and felt that he still had something to say.
But in the next moment.
He suddenly remembered something.
He quickly withdrew his gaze and focused on the spiritual field not far away.
At a glance, Wei Tao opened his mouth, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
Under the increasingly hot sunlight, the rows of spiritual plants were all dried up and looked miserable and half-dead.
"I was just so absorbed in it that I accidentally sucked too much and too hard, and it ended up like this."
"Qin Dong struggled for several days, and finally he fainted from exhaustion. Most of the small cloud and rain technique he finally used was sucked in by me."
An idea flashed through Wei Tao's mind, and he was just thinking about where it would be more convenient to divert water for irrigation, when suddenly a low moan sounded in his ears.
"Oh, my head hurts so much."
Qin Dong closed his eyes and murmured to himself, "Brother Wei, let's go. We are done here and don't need to worry about it for the time being."
"Go back and have a good sleep first, and then I'll get some good food and two jars of old wine. We brothers have been busy for so long, so we have to have some fun and have a few sips."
Wei Tao coughed lightly, "Senior Brother Qin, I have experience in cooking. Of course I can accompany you while drinking. However, the problem lies in these spiritual fields. It seems that there is still some distance between the work and the completion."
"Brother Wei, are you kidding me?"
"You may not know yet, but the greatest effect of my Xiaoyunyu Technique is not in irrigation, but in attracting condensed spiritual energy.
With the protection of these auras, even if the things in the fields are exposed to the sun for a while, there will be absolutely no problem. "
"If you don't believe me, look at these watery branches and leaves. Are they very different from before?"
Qin Dong said slowly, stood up and glanced in the direction of Lingtian.
"Gan Linliang, why do you look completely the same!?"
He was suddenly startled and couldn't help but close his eyes.
After a moment, it slowly opened again.
Then close it again and open it again.
Snapped! ! !
There was a crisp sound without any warning.
Qin Dong slapped himself hard.
His face turned red and white, and he murmured to himself as if he couldn't believe it, "Come on, Brother Wei, punch me as hard as you can to see if I'm dreaming."
"Senior Brother Qin's request is too strange, and I really can't accept it."
Wei Tao sighed as he spoke, "Actually, Senior Brother Qin is very awake now, and I saw no change in the spiritual plants in the field, which is exactly the same as what you observed."
"It's impossible. I have practiced Xiaoyunyu Technique hard for so many years. It is the only and most familiar spiritual technique. What's more, in order to succeed once, all the things used to perform the technique are prepared according to the top rules. I don't even think about it. It should be invalid.”
"Is it because I was in a bad state this time and passed out too early, which caused the Xiaoyunyu Technique to fail?"
Qin Dong was silent for a long time, thinking hard and finding it difficult to accept.
But the scene in front of him forced him to admit that something was really wrong with Xiaoyunyushu.
The spiritual rain that was supposed to fall did not fall on the fields.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
"This issue must be dealt with before the teacher comes back."
"Otherwise, if I let her see the spiritual field I planted turning into this, I'm afraid I will be beaten to death by her."
Wei Tao sighed, "Is it so serious?"
Qin Dong also sighed, "Brother Wei, do you know what the teacher did with Senior Sister Shang?"
Without waiting for Wei Tao to answer, he continued.
“It’s not because of the resurgence of the star ring that spiritual planters are not taken seriously and have become much more strapped than before.
After all, the harvest from planting spiritual fields alone can only meet the needs of daily life at most. If you want to continuously improve your cultivation level, you must find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure in order to be able to supply the consumption of various resources.
That is to say, the teacher has secret magic and spiritual skills inherited from his family. In addition to planting spiritual fields, he can also work part-time as a secret medicine master, so he can go out to take on employment tasks from time to time, so as to earn more jade money to meet our cultivation needs. "
Speaking of this, Qin Dong stood up unsteadily and looked over with burning eyes.
"Brother Wei, can I ask you something?"
Wei Tao coughed lightly, "Brother Qin, what are you talking about? Given our relationship, if there is anything, just say it directly. It's too polite to use the word 'ask'."
Qin Dong kept circling the edge of the field, and stopped suddenly after a long time.
"I want you to work with me to perform the Little Cloud Rain Technique again in the shortest time."
"When Brother Wei helped me prepare in the house before, he was already familiar with the materials for the Little Cloud Rain Technique. In this way, the two of us can try to further divide the work and cooperate.
I will carve the required talisman lines, and you will prepare the other materials as required. When I finish carving the talisman lines, I can directly infuse spiritual power into it, which can save at least half of the time."
Wei Tao nodded, "Okay, everything will be done according to Brother Qin's plan."
The two immediately returned to their residence and started a new round of preparations.
Qin Dong was really anxious. After returning, he didn't even have time to drink his saliva, so he directly threw a scroll that was almost rotten to Wei Tao and asked him to do it himself according to the records on it.
He went into the house and began to draw the talisman line in a hurry.
Wei Tao took this spiritual art method and was a little unconvinced for a while. He didn't need any test and didn't even become a disciple, but he got the inheritance of Xiaoyunyushu.
He flipped through the cover and quickly immersed himself in it.
Xiaoyunyushu is divided into materials, talisman lines, and the last spellcasting.
In order to complete the preparation as soon as possible, Wei Tao put the two chapters of talisman line casting aside and read the chapter of material preparation carefully first.
In this process, he constantly combined theory with practice, and recalled Qin Dong's steps in practice over and over again, and suddenly he felt more confident in his heart.
It must be said that Qin Dong's talent in spiritual practice may be average, but his attitude is definitely serious and rigorous.
The notes made for the material chapter alone are simply meticulous, and all aspects are considered in place, which saves him a lot of time and energy for learning and understanding.
The preparation of materials for the Little Cloud and Rain Technique is not simple, especially for beginners. From the initial selection, to the proportions in the middle, to the subsequent refining and other steps, it is not easy to complete them accurately step by step.
But for Wei Tao, after a long period of martial arts training, even with a seriously injured body, doing these tasks is almost as simple as eating and drinking.
The process is smooth from beginning to end, even more relaxed than Qin Dong doing it himself.
He concentrated and immersed himself in it.
He even forgot the passage of time.
Until all the materials were prepared.
He checked the volume at least three times.
He sorted everything out and pushed open the closed door.
The sun was setting, and the sky was gradually getting dark.
Wei Tao looked at the sunset in the sky, and suddenly some doubts arose in his heart.
It's not dark yet, which means that he has only used two or three hours to prepare all the materials?
And in his opinion, the whole process can be optimized, so that at least the working time can be shortened by nearly half.
Thinking back to when I was helping Qin Dong, apart from carving the talisman line, it took more than two days just to prepare the materials.
So, after spending so much time and energy before, most of the time was just slacking off?
Seeing that it was still early and Qin Dong's door was closed and there was no movement, Wei Tao returned to the room and began to study the subsequent talisman line chapter seriously.
The night was hazy and the breeze was cool.
Under the light of the stars and the moon, the ring in the sky was slightly clearer than in the daytime.
It was no longer a vague image, and one could even roughly see the direction of the mountains and rivers above.
At midnight, Wei Tao pushed the door open again.
While recalling and thinking about the key points mentioned in the talisman line chapter, he walked towards the room where Qin Dong was.
The room was pitch black, and not even a light was lit.
Wei Tao knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response from inside.
But there was a faint sound of snoring, which kept circling and floating under the night.
"It took Qin Dong three days to carve the talisman line last time, but this time he finished all the work in less than a day."
"It seems that under great pressure, everyone will improve their work efficiency and will not burst out their strongest strength until the last moment."
Wei Tao thought silently, and pushed open the door with a creak.
Qin Dong was lying there sleeping soundly.
The spiritual paper and pens used to carve the talisman line were scattered all over the table and the ground.
And most of the spiritual paper was blank, with only an unfinished talisman line pattern in front of him.
"Brother Qin was so stressed that he fell asleep directly."
Wei Tao helped him put on an outer coat, and was about to turn around and leave, but his eyes fell on the spiritual paper and the pens, and the steps he had just raised stopped again.
I practiced the talisman line chapter of the Little Cloud and Rain Art at night.
As a result, there are so many materials in front of me now.
Immediately, he felt a little itchy and couldn't help wanting to try it out.
Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
He silently recited the key points of carving the talisman line in his heart, and the tip of the pen gently fell on the spiritual paper.
Swish, swish, swish!
As time went by, his movements became faster and faster.
The lines under his pen seemed to have life and spirituality, and seemed to be winding and turning spontaneously.
It was not a person who was painting, but the lines existed by themselves, driving the hand holding the pen to draw it along the lines.
Wei Tao became more and more adept at painting.
Not only did he not feel bored, he even experienced a different kind of happiness.
Even the lingering headache was significantly relieved in this process.
One by one, the patterns of the runes were carved.
He was almost completely immersed in it, as if he had returned to the distant past.
At that time, he was still practicing hard in Cangyuan City.
During the day, he practiced the Red Line Fist in the martial arts hall.
When he returned home at night, he would hide in the woodshed and look at the crazy Xiyue Atlas for half a night.
Perhaps it was from that time that he developed a habit of being particularly meticulous and patient.
Especially for the complicated and messy silk threads, he had his own unique way of analyzing them.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
There are gullies in his heart, and he writes like a god.
After an unknown period of time, Wei Tao left the pen tip on the paper, as if he had completed an exquisite and complex painting. In addition to being a little mentally exhausted, he was also filled with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
It was not until this moment that he realized that he had used up all the spiritual paper.
And there was not a single defective piece in it. Almost every piece could be called a classic with every stroke and precision, which was definitely much more standardized than what Qin Dong had drawn last time. .
Wei Tao stacked and arranged the spiritual paper in order, and couldn't help but let out a long breath again.
No wonder he felt a little tired now. It turned out that Qin Dong was afraid of making mistakes in engraving the talisman pattern, so he prepared four times the amount of spiritual paper at once.
And when he was in a bad mental and physical state, he finished drawing the talisman line diagram of Xiaoyunyushu four times in one breath, which naturally consumed a lot of energy, causing a headache caused by the incompatibility of spirit and flesh.
Wei Tao calmed down and recovered his spirit.
Carefully observed the completed talisman line pattern.
In his eyes, they seemed to be really alive.
Every line and every pattern seemed to have an inexplicable connection with the world.
There was also a looming spiritual meaning, attached and lingering on the spiritual paper, like a person breathing.
This wonderful feeling made him think of the mysterious and strange silk that carries the mysterious thoughts and entrusts the true spirit.
Although the two are definitely not the same thing, they have many similarities in some aspects.
Click!
Suddenly there was a light sound.
It interrupted Wei Tao's meditation.
He turned his head and looked out the window.
The wind seemed to be stronger than before.
The branches and leaves of the trees not far away were swaying.
It also brought a gradually strong dampness, and even a faint mist appeared around.
Wei Tao frowned slightly and felt it carefully.
The next moment, something surprised him.
In the mist surrounding the house, there was actually a gathering of spiritual energy.
It was like a weakened version of the Little Cloud and Rain Technique.
It just turned the rain into mist.
"Is this the effect of the talisman pattern?"
"Why didn't this happen last time?"
"If other materials are attached and the last spell is operated, what will happen?"
Thoughts emerged in Wei Tao's mind one after another. He quickly cleaned up the mess, took out new spiritual paper to replace the talisman he had drawn, and immediately returned to the room to start a more in-depth study.
Compared with the material chapter and the talisman chapter, the last spell chapter is much more difficult and obscure.
The real difficulty lies in communicating with the heaven and earth with the spirit, and in the process, comprehending and perceiving the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and then guiding and gathering it according to certain rules, so that it can be regarded as a successful spiritual spell.
The materials prepared before and the talisman diagrams carved are roughly equivalent to the containers and tools for guiding and gathering spiritual energy.
As for what kind of operating mode is inside, Wei Tao is still at the level of knowing the fact but not the reason, so he naturally cannot analyze it thoroughly and make it clear.
If it is a newcomer with average talent, it is really not easy to understand the content of the spell chapter without the guidance of a teacher.
Just like Qin Dong, it takes a lot of time and energy to learn, and then consume a lot of materials for trial and error, before it is possible to successfully perform a small cloud rain technique.
But here in Wei Tao, there are all kinds of rich practice experience as a foundation, especially with the technique of chasing the sun, and similar techniques such as Yin Yuan Hun body as the foundation, plus Qin Dong's surprisingly detailed notes to assist, it immediately greatly reduces the difficulty of understanding the spell casting chapter.
Time passed quietly.
Soon the dawn was slightly revealed, and the sky was about to brighten.
It was the darkest time before dawn.
Qin Dong was still sleeping soundly.
Even the posture of lying down did not change at all.
He was completely unaware of what happened outside.
Wei Tao pushed the door out at this time.
He took all the materials and the talisman scroll and came to the mountain spiritual field silently.
After a busy period, all the work was ready.
Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
According to the requirements of the spell casting chapter, he realized and sensed the spiritual energy and tried to guide and condense it.
"Small Cloud Rain Spell!"
He changed the seals with his hands like lightning, and suddenly shouted.
After completing the last seal required by the spellcasting chapter, Wei Tao slowly raised his head and looked at the sky that was gradually turning brighter.
There was no change in the sky above the spiritual field.
No cool breeze blew.
No small clouds formed.
Not to mention the raindrops containing spiritual energy falling.
"Did the spiritual spell fail?"
"All steps were strictly followed. What went wrong?"
Wei Tao fell silent, thinking about where mistakes might have occurred.
At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly exploded from the sky without warning.
Then a strong wind suddenly rose and whistled.
Dark clouds surged in the mountains and quickly drooped.
Bringing visible moisture and increasingly strong spiritual meaning.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, another muffled thunder exploded.
Bean-sized raindrops fell with a crackling sound.
Its large area not only covers all the spiritual fields, but also completely covers the surrounding large areas of mountains.
The spiritual plants in the fields desperately absorb water and spiritual energy. The branches and leaves that were gradually drying up have become visibly green.
They try to stretch themselves, like cubs crying for food, absorbing more nutrients all the time.
In addition, even the vegetation in the distance began to grow wildly, and the birds, beasts, ants, insects and scorpions living in the forest were also rejoicing and excited as the spiritual rain fell.
Before using the gold coins in the status bar to upgrade, the small cloud rain technique could achieve such an effect. It is really a good practice method.
Wei Tao closed his eyes and carefully controlled the range of absorbing spiritual energy.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the Golden Ring World again. Every inch of his skin, and even the acupoints and blood networks in his body, were being moistened and nourished by the blood rain.
Moreover, compared with the erosion and burning of the Golden Ring World when it was raining, the spiritual rain now is obviously much warmer and softer. It can be used for its own benefit without any additional consumption, and the absorption efficiency is even higher than that of the blood rain.
The small cloud rain technique has been continuing.
Wei Tao was completely immersed in it and even forgot the passage of time.
Click!
Suddenly, a light sound came from the depths of the forest.
At this time, he gathered his mind and slowly turned to look in that direction.
Silently, a figure in black clothes and black robes came into view.
Passing through the dense rain curtain, he soon came to the spiritual field.
"Are you the new disciple of Teacher Lan Yue?"
The black-clothed man was about thirty years old, with a scar across his forehead, and his facial expression looked a little sinister and ferocious.
"Who are you?"
Wei Tao asked.
"Didn't the teacher mention me to you?"
The black-clothed man was silent for a moment, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his lips, "But that's right, since I have left her school, there is naturally no need to mention it to the newcomers."
At this point, he looked up at the rain clouds in the sky, "It turned out to be the art of turning clouds and rain, I didn't expect that Teacher Lan Yue actually taught you this spiritual art.
It seems that she also attaches great importance to you, and may have regarded you as the last disciple to inherit the spiritual art of the Lan family."
"Sha Si, why are you talking so much to him, don't forget the purpose of our coming this time."
At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded, and she came close in an instant.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the spiritual field watered by the spiritual rain in front of her, then turned her gaze back to Wei Tao.
"Don't think that you have some talent in spiritual planting, and you are so great just because you have learned the so-called turning the tide.
To put it bluntly, you are just a mere spiritual planting master. In my eyes, you are nothing at all, and you are not even treated as good as the watchdogs at home."
"Oh?"
"What the little girl said is very interesting."
Wei Tao lowered his eyes and stared at a piece of grass stem at his feet. "Let's not talk about whether I am a spiritual planting master for now. The key point is that before I became a spiritual planting master, I was actually a martial arts master who practiced boxing."
