Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 17: Summer Passes and Autumn Comes
The weather in July was scorching hot. However, the water pool beside the small valley was refreshing.
Lin Yi, who was comfortable after soaking himself in the water, lay comfortably on a stone under the shade of a tree. His black hair was casually scattered, his upper body was bare, and his lower body was only wearing a short pair of underwear.
He clenched his fists and looked at his still thin body. Lin Yi felt that he was not bad.
He ate the remaining four fruits on the tree in the cave. He did not increase his cultivation as quickly as he imagined. His Xuantian Heart Method only broke through to the third level. In his Qi Sea, there was a group of purple gas, which was tightly wrapped by his own spiritual energy. These must be the medicinal power of the purple crystal fruit that has not been refined.
I think cultivation should be gradual. Lin Yi rested his head on his arm, and his legs were crossed, shaking gently.
He tilted his head and stared at the edge of the water pool. Lin Yi saw a round pebble two feet away, the size of his fist. He stretched out his right hand and threatened the pebble. The stone flew over magically with a "whoosh" sound and was gently caught in his hand.
Lin Yi smiled slightly, and then threw the stone in his hand aside as if he didn't care.
This is the second spell he knows besides the Wind Control Spell, the Object Capture Spell. This spell is useless, just fun. Lin Yi thought so in his heart.
The only spell that can be practiced in the first level of mental method was judged by him like this.
Lin Yi sat up lazily, looked around with his slightly handsome face, and then pinched a few seals with his hands skillfully. A layer of imperceptible white light flashed on his body, and his figure gradually disappeared in the air.
The edge of the pond was empty, and Lin Yi just now seemed to have never appeared. After a while, another layer of white light flashed, and a naked backless figure turned from virtual to real, and he appeared again in the same place.
Hehe! This is interesting!
Lin Yi laughed complacently. As he reached the third level, he practiced several spells very hard. The second level can practice the wind-inducing spell and the object-driving spell. The third level has only one fire-inducing spell. Wind-controlling, invisibility, fire-driving, object-grabbing, object-driving, wind-inducing and fire-inducing spells, he estimated that he had learned seven small spells.
Wind-controlling spells are still easy to use and consume little spiritual power. Now, he can jump nearly ten feet in one step, and can hang in the air three feet above the ground without falling. Although it only lasts for a few breaths, it also feels a bit like floating in the air. Lin Yi likes this feeling very much.
Invisibility spells are also useless in this valley, and other spells also have some shortcomings. Lin Yi sat on the stone and pondered. Soon, he pinched a hand gesture of the fire-inducing spell, and a small ball of flame appeared in front of him with a move in the air. Then he quickly changed the hand gestures, chanted spells non-stop, and the flame suddenly jumped, and then the flame suddenly became longer, turning into a thin fire snake, circling and dancing in the air.
Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Lin Yi's mouth curled up. He pointed casually, and the fire snake flew towards the pebble thrown by the pool. In an instant, the stone was burned and crackled, and then exploded into a small pile of stone chips.
Excited by his own unique ideas, Lin Yi's eyebrows danced, and he laughed out loud in surprise.
"Haha! This fire-starting technique and fire-driving technique are used together. Isn't it unique?"
Blinking his smart eyes, showing a thoughtful expression, Lin Yi waved his hands in the air, and a small whirlwind rose from the ground and blew towards the stone chips that had just been burned. The stone chips raised dust and mist, and before they disappeared, he changed his hand gestures again, and the object-driving technique was performed. The dust and mist were immediately lifted by an invisible hand, leaving the pool and flying towards the grass in another part of the valley.
Hey! It's true! Magic must be used together to be interesting! The combination of attracting fire and driving away fire, and the unexpected gains of capturing and driving away objects complement each other, made Lin Yi's understanding of magic more in-depth.
Reaching out his hand to call for the clothes beside him to put on, Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the grass beside the pond and took the Qiankun bag in his hand. This Qiankun bag is really a treasure. Even if there are many things in it, it is still light and weightless in the hand. It is usually hung around the neck and tied around the waist, just like a clever and refined sachet.
With a move of his spiritual consciousness, he took out several books and four small flags from the Qiankun bag. One of them is "Xuanyuan Talisman", which Xuanyuan Patriarch explained in the jade slip. This is completely different from the ghostly talismans that the master used to draw in the past, and it is completely different from the talismans drawn with cinnabar and yellow paper in the secular world. Presumably, the master used secular methods to draw talismans, but occasionally they are effective. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh for the old man.
Thinking of something in his heart, Lin Yi couldn't help but turn back and pay a tribute to the master's grave with a guilty conscience. He muttered a few words in his mouth, Master, please don't blame me!
"Xuanyuan Talisman" records three methods of refining talismans. One is to use spiritual energy to make talismans directly, the second is to use jade pendants to make talismans, and the third is to draw talismans with the skin of spiritual beasts. These talisman techniques have different levels of effectiveness. There are Vajra Talismans and Wind-fearing Talismans for self-defense, and Fireball Talismans for attack. There are also magical sound transmission notes, which should be commonly used in the world of immortal cultivation.
There are many spells and refining methods, which are recorded in a very thick book, and Lin Yi found that there are only some low-level talisman techniques in this book. There are more mysterious words, which highlight the mystery of talismans. Among them, the spiritual energy talisman and the jade pendant talisman can be studied and tried by oneself, and the others should be left for later! It also mentions spiritual beasts? What does this spiritual beast look like? He shook his head and picked up another book.
The copy of Xuanyuan Sword Technique in his hand was just a set of modified sword techniques. Lin Yi still couldn't put it down because of its power when using the spiritual energy in his body to perform sword techniques. His spells are difficult to use in front of others, so this set of swordsmanship is just for self-defense.
Lin Yi held a sword flower with his fingers and pointed it into the pool. A trace of spiritual power formed a sword energy and stirred up a splash in the water. Hehe, I am a bit like a master of martial arts. He raised his brows proudly.
The other book was a thin booklet, "Xuanyuan Gong" written by Master Taiyi. Lin Yi opened it and read it carefully. "Xuanyuan Gong" is a book of inner strength and mental methods. It is a way to pass through Rendu, travel around the world, and cultivate true energy. When the internal strength is advanced, the true energy is released and the power is considerable. But he has no use for it anymore.
Lin Yi put the three books into the Qiankun bag and looked at the remaining four small flags. The four small flags have different colors, namely green, black, white and red. I don’t know what material it is made of, but the flag surface feels smooth and strong. He held it in his hand and turned it over and over.
Master Xuanyuan said that this small flag is of great use. How to use it? Lin Yi couldn't help scratching his head and looked subconsciously with his spiritual consciousness. Runes flashed on the small flag. He hurriedly tried to immerse his spiritual consciousness into the small flag, but the flag was immediately covered with fog, making it impossible for his spiritual consciousness to penetrate. At the flagpole, a line of characters appeared in the consciousness.
"Haha! That's it!" The pleasure brought by searching for hidden places and wonders made Lin Yi shake his head with joy.
It turns out that this flag is called "Qiankun Four Symbols Flag". The flagpole contains instructions for how to drive and set up the formation. After forming a formation, you can hide, attack, and defend.
After memorizing the formation formula, Lin Yi threw the flag in all directions. The small flag flew around and disappeared when it hit the ground. As the fingers moved, a layer of mist suddenly appeared above the water pool and mountain col. In the blink of an eye, more than ten feet near the small mountain col disappeared, and then white mist rolled up, and the sound of wind and thunder was heard in the same place; after a while, a whirlwind rolled up on the ground, and the white mist disappeared.
The things left by this ancestor are all treasures! hehe! Lin Yi, who was enjoying himself, thought like this...
In a blink of an eye, it’s early autumn.
In the valley behind the Immortal Summit, grass grows and orioles fly. The mountain breeze blows, and the residual heat of the hot summer gradually fades away.
The wrinkles on Lao Lu's face appeared to be deeper. In addition to weighing his son, Xiao Yi would always miss him.
His waist and legs were still very strong. With a hunting knife in his waist and his hands behind his back, Lao Lu strode to the col where Lin Yi lived.
"Uncle Lu is here!"
Lin Yi jumped out of the thatched shed and stepped forward to greet him. Lao Lu was obviously startled by his sudden appearance. He raised his head and smiled, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper.
"Haha! Xiaoyi! How did you know it was Uncle Lu! You scared the uncle!"
"Hehe, you can tell it's Uncle Lu just by the sound of footsteps. It's just us and my father who are the immortals. There are no outsiders here!"
Where the consciousness is, all the wind and grass within twenty feet are visible. How can Lao Lu's approach be hidden from Lin Yi?
"Footsteps?"
Lao Lu was a little confused. He had been hunting all his life. Walking in the mountains and grass, he couldn't even disturb the wild goats and mountain deer! Shaking his head, he said with a smile: "That's right, aren't we the two of us in this valley!"
"Why do you have time to see Xiao Yi today?" Lin Yi followed Lao Lu and asked casually.
Lao Lu walked a few steps and came to the hay shed, looked around, then reached out and looked through it again.
"Autumn has entered, and the weather has turned cold. Xiaoyi lives in this straw shed, and there is draft everywhere!" Old Lu was talking to himself, then turned to Lin Yi and said: "Xiaoyi! Why don't you go back to your uncle? Let's live together! At least my uncle's wooden house can protect us from the wind and cold." Looking at the latter without saying a word, he said, "Why don't you go back to the mountain?"
After Lin Yi understood the other person's thoughts, he thought that being with Uncle Lu would be nice, but he couldn't practice! He smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry. I'm young and full of energy, and I have to practice the techniques passed down by my master every day. It's very good here. If the weather gets colder and Xiao Yi really can't stand the cold, then Go keep uncle company."
"That's okay. But don't be brave! Doesn't your uncle know how you are doing?" As he said that, Lao Lu patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, still thinking about what he looked like when he fainted, his eyes filled with tears. It means worry.
"Hehe! Xiao Yi knows that uncle is worried, but uncle doesn't know that Xiao Yi is very good at martial arts!" Lin Yi said in a boastful manner. Then he took a step back, touched the ground with his feet, and jumped up four to five feet, then turned over like a kite and landed gently. Before he could finish his thoughts, he leaned over and picked up a stone the size of his head. He put his hands together and crushed the stone into pieces.
"Oh! Xiao Yi's martial arts is so good!" Lao Lu couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear in surprise, and he finally breathed out and sighed sincerely.
"Uncle, you should rest assured, Xiao Yi," Lin Yi said with a successful smile.
"Don't worry! Haha!" Lao Lu stepped forward and touched Xiao Yi's hands, looked at them carefully, admired him, and said with a look of worry: "But you can't be brave! The strongest has his own way. , There is another mountain high outside the mountain! The wind is strong in this valley, if you can’t stay here, go to my uncle’s place!”
"Okay, when I can't stay any longer, Xiao Yi will go to the uncle's place." Lin Yi responded readily.
Lao Lu nodded with satisfaction and said: "I'm going to Taiping Town now to buy some rice and salt. If Xiaoyi needs anything, uncle will bring it with you."
"Uncle, you are going to Taiping Town, isn't it just to add some rice and salt? Xiaoyi will go, don't bother uncle!" Lin Yi waved his hand and said. He didn't care about the daily necessities, because he was still young, and Lao Lu helped to buy them. But it's not good to ask others to do it for him. Although he was used to poverty, it was just to add some rice and salt. However, it's better to do everything by himself.
Seeing Lao Lu hesitate, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Uncle, do you need anything else besides rice and salt?"
"No..." Lao Lu just said it, Lin Yi's figure flashed and he was already five or six feet away. He turned around and waved, shouting, "Uncle! Xiaoyi has gone to Taiping Town."
"This kid!" Old Lu smiled bitterly and shook his head, then he was stunned, and hurriedly took out a small cloth bag from his arms and shouted, "Uncle hasn't given you money yet..."
