Chapter 215: Peaceful Years
The next day, Xiao Mian, who was like a new man, gathered all his emotions and began to practice hard.
Leng Ningyu's previous warning was still ringing in his ears, but Xiao Mian didn't take it seriously. He had never thought about breaking through the current high-level cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage in a short period of time. What he wanted to cultivate was actually the other two meridians - body refining. And Lian Shen!
After Xiao Mian's "Ten Thousand Poison Curses" absorbed the soul-suppressing poison originally obtained from the body of Master Yuanyuan, he completed three major cycles of practice.
Now if you want to start practicing, you have to start the fourth cycle from the beginning.
At this time, Xiao Mian had no shortage of top-quality poisons on hand. For example, the poisonous gentian given by Dan Qiusheng was the ninth poison among the ten poisons in the world. However, because the toxicity level was too high, Xiao Mian used it instead. No.
After all, the poisonous relics in his body also have their limits, and they cannot go too far.
Of course, when Xiao Mian was refining the ice soul cold poison he got from Leng Ning Jade last time, he decided that the next poison to be smelted would be the product of his cultivation of the five elements of divine light.
Five elements of strange poison!
It's just that Xiao Mian's Five Elements Divine Light has not reached the level of Leng Ningyu after all. The poison he produced while condensing the Five Elements Divine Light may not be as toxic as the bottle of Ice Soul Cold Poison that Leng Ningyu took out at that time. Therefore, , as early as the last time he participated in the auction, Xiao Mian asked Chi Lianxia to buy some high-grade Five Elements Strange Poisons on his behalf, and now they are just right - it’s just that others who practice the Five Elements Divine Light are afraid of being hurt by the Five Elements Strange Poisons. But Xiao Mian still wanted to add poison to his body without fear of death!
If this matter spreads, I'm afraid not many people will believe it, right?
No matter what others thought, Xiao Mian took out a spirit-sealing box from the white jade flying pendant, opened the box, and found a white-gold metal block lying quietly inside.
This thing is called White Bone Phosphorus. It is a fourth-level spiritual material. It is shaped like a huge leg bone and has scale-like patterns engraved on it. It is one of the strange metal poisons.
Taking the white bone phosphorus in his hand, Xiao Mian only felt the sharp pain coming from his right hand like a knife. Thinking of Leng Ningyu's words that "gold poison is the most ferocious", Xiao Mian couldn't help but cheer up and wrapped it in golden light. In the palm of my right hand, I felt the pain subside slightly.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian continued to condense the Gengjin divine light in his body, while using the poison relic to absorb the metallic poison on the white bone phosphorus.
In the following time, Xiao Mian not only absorbed all the toxicity of the white bone phosphorus, but also absorbed the other four types of strange poisons. Finally, the five elements of strange poisons in his body reached the strength that can be used to practice the "Ten Thousand Poison Curse" .
Xiao Mian then focused on three things: one was to continue condensing the divine light of the five elements, which was the most important goal of Xiao Mian's future practice; the other was to use the five elements' strange poisons to start the fourth round of practice of the "Ten Thousand Poison Curses", and the third Then Xiao Mian started the third practice of "The Great Method of Separating Souls and Separating Souls"!
Time flies by quickly.
In the subsequent intensive training, Xiao Mian completed the second stage of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Curse". Although he had not yet found a suitable poison to smelt into his body, the physical strength was still improved to a certain extent.
As for the "Soul Separation Technique", since it can be practiced without the help of external objects, Xiao Mian simply completed the third round of practice to avoid any mistakes due to soul incoordination during the sword fight.
Although there has been some progress in the cultivation of the Five Elements Divine Light, it is still far from Dacheng. However, Xiao Mian's high-level cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Stage has been further consolidated. Xiao Mian even suspected that he could break through to the top stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage at any time as long as he wanted to. .
Come to think of it, this is the benefit of being a fellow practitioner of the Three Meridians!
Of course, during this period, Xiao Mian also practiced the set of Five Elements Flying Swords that he had obtained from Yuanyuan Zhenren's treasure cave. Then, under the guidance of Grandmaster Guitou, who was a good teacher, Xiao Mian began to learn the common sense of formations, the basics of formations and Some simple five-element magic formations are intended to turn that set of five-element flying swords into a five-element sword formation!
If five top-level magic weapon-level five-element flying swords can be arranged into a five-element sword array, the power that can be exerted will probably be no worse than that of ordinary low-level magic weapons. This can also be regarded as Xiao Mian's trump card!
It's just that Xiao Mian's talent in formations is not very good. After being scolded by Guitou, he barely memorized a five-element formation.
Compared to his mediocrity in formations, Xiao Mian's talent in drawing talismans was really good. After calming down, Xiao Mian took out the nine-inch green stick to practice.
Xiao Mian had picked up the Nine-inch Green Painting Talisman from time to time in his free time before, but in the end, because of the complicated things, he never spent his energy on it.
Now that he has decided to go far away and travel to Zhongzhou, I am afraid that he will not be able to get any help from the sect or Leng Ningyu in the future. After thinking about it, Xiao Mian feels that it is best to have a craft by his side. Alchemy is not good, and formation is not good. , as for weapon refining, Xiao Mian decided to ignore it after hearing what Guitou said that one must first master certain formation knowledge.
From this point of view, if Xiao Mian wanted to have a skill, he could only draw talismans.
Because of this, Xiao Mian painted the talisman with extra care this time.
But compared to the time Xiao Mian spent on drawing the talisman, he spent nearly 50,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and what he got was just a stack of low-grade talismans worth 500 low-grade spiritual stones. He curled his lips, Xiao Mian was quite helpless.
He spread out a piece of talisman paper again, held the Jiu Cun Qing Cun and thought for a moment, then dipped the Jiu Cun Qing pekoe into the blood-red spiritual ink, and then sketched the lines on the talisman paper.
With the traction of the nine-inch green pen tip, spiritual lines that are either deep or shallow, thick or light, wide or narrow appear one by one on the talisman paper that is only three inches long.
This time, Xiao Mian drew a third-level golden needle talisman.
The refining of the golden needle talisman is exactly the same as the ice needle talisman that Leng Ningyu gave to Xiao Chuqing to confuse Duan Yuntao. The difference is that the ice spirit needle sealed inside has turned into a Gengjin needle. What Xiao Mian is doing now is to outline the soul-sealing formation to provide a possibility for the talisman paper to preserve the Gengjin needle, and at the same time to confine the spiritual energy of the Gengjin needle on the talisman paper to prevent it from losing its effectiveness due to the exhaustion of spiritual energy.
However, the soul-sealing formation that Xiao Mian drew at this time is not a single soul-sealing formation, but a soul-sealing formation group improved by Gui Tou!
The soul-sealing formation group obtained from the predecessor Bai Gu has doubled its effectiveness after being improved by Gui Tou.
As the spiritual power lines that constitute the soul-sealing formation gradually become complete, Xiao Mian waved the Nine-inch Green Brush, and the last stroke of the soul-sealing formation was perfectly completed, and a talisman came into being.
Looking at the talisman in front of him that was shining with golden light, Xiao Mian had no feelings of sadness or joy, even though this was the first third-level talisman that Xiao Mian had made!
Previously, Xiao Mian had used the Soul Sealing Array Group to make talismans, but because the number of Gengjin divine lights sealed at once was too much, it exceeded the limit that the talisman paper itself could bear, and before Xiao Mian could put down the last stroke, the entire talisman paper was turned to ashes.
After learning from the lesson of failure, this time Xiao Mian only sealed three Gengjin divine lights in it, and he really made this third-level talisman.
But in fact, this third-level talisman is just a facade, because no matter the number of divine lights sealed inside or the power of the divine light, this golden needle talisman and the ice needle talisman refined by Leng Ningyu are simply not comparable. In addition to the difference in the attainments of the two in the divine light, Leng Ningyu's ice needle talisman can seal dozens of ice soul divine lights, which is the difference between the two in drawing talismans.
Of course, this was also related to the low grade of the talisman paper Xiao Mian used, but it was undeniable that he had only just started to draw talismans.
Xiao Mian did not know that whether it was drawing talismans, refining pills, or refining equipment, the initial stage would definitely be a losing business!
Xiao Mian was able to draw a third-level talisman within half a year. This was certainly because he had a lot of talisman paper and spiritual ink to squander, but his talent in drawing talismans was also outstanding. You should know that it usually takes three years for ordinary talisman painters to draw third-level talismans.
Moreover, Xiao Mian only learned some techniques and skills of drawing talismans from Leng Ningyu, and did not undergo systematic learning. It can be said that his third-level talisman was completely made by stacking spiritual stones. Xiao Mian's road to drawing talismans made Leng Ningyu say that day: I learned it by drawing!
Of course, another reason why Xiao Mian was able to persist was that when he was drawing talismans, he seemed to have returned to the days when his father forced him to write.
The years were quiet and good, just like before.
Only when he picked up the Nine-inch Green would Xiao Mian feel a tranquility that even he himself could not believe. When his mind was immersed in that tranquility, he could often complete a successful talisman, such as the only third-level talisman.
Xiao Mian, who had found the trick, had to stop the impulse to continue drawing talismans, because it was already the first day of July, and there were only six days left until the seventh day of July.
