He was completely immersed in his own world of cultivation, polishing his claws and teeth alone. Since the cultivation of spells in the Qi Eating stage was not the main direction of fighting, then he would do his best to make up for it in other aspects.
It was ridiculous that a person who wholeheartedly wanted to become a Dharma Cultivator was waving his sword every day, controlling the flying daggers to attack randomly. But this was the reality. At least he could comfort himself with this. What he was practicing now, even if he reached the Foundation Establishment stage one day, it would still be useful, right?
A real cultivator should be proficient in both long-range and long-range attacks. Since long-range attacks could only be learned after the Foundation Establishment stage, it was also a very wise move to practice close combat first.
In the past five years, when he waved his sword, he experienced the sword aura, sword aura, and sword Qi. Now, he was slowly converging and returning to normal. This was a different performance stage when the spiritual power was fully compressed and entered the long sword. It meant that his attainment in the sword was improving at a terrifying speed!
But he could not feel this. He had no fellow disciples, no friends, and no one could cultivate together. Under the situation of comparing with each other, he did not know how terrifying his growth was! It was completely beyond the scope of normal cultivators' understanding.
If he was in a sect and had countless fellow disciples as a foil, he would know that a cultivator who had been waving his sword for several years would be ecstatic after seeing his sword aura! A cultivator who had been waving his sword for dozens of years would be drunk because he could produce sword aura!
But he, after waving his sword for less than five or six years, even his sword aura was gradually converging. This talent could no longer be simply described as terrifying. There must be a deeper reason …
But in Lou Xiaoyi's opinion, this was very normal, right? Is everyone like this? Am I too slow in my cultivation? Can I be faster? Even if we don't want to be the best, we can't be at the bottom, right?
In the few times he had seen other cultivators fight, it seemed that the aura on their weapons was converging? He had just caught up with them, he still needed to work hard!
This was a misunderstanding. When others were waving their weapons, they did not see aura aura. This could be because they had reached the Perfection stage, but more likely, the aura had not been produced yet!
The same progress was reflected in his Object Control Technique. Even without the guidance of his Divine Sense, he could make the nine flying daggers fly around his body with only his spiritual power. Moreover, this was under the condition of the full speed of the Ten Feet Movement Technique!
The distance, penetrating power, and speed were completely different from when he first started practicing. He could completely nail a throwing knife into a rock within a hundred feet, and he could even use the nine throwing knives to play tricks.
This was a huge improvement. He finally had some semblance of being a cultivator. He wouldn't have to pick up his throwing knives all over the ground after fighting for so long!
Compared to his progress in swordsmanship, his achievements in spells were lackluster. Spirit Fire Spell and Phosphorescence Spell, the two main spells that he had been practicing, were not effective at all. The casting time did not decrease by much, and the power of the spells did not increase by much.
If he was in a sect, his master would not hesitate to send him to practice body cultivation or something else. However, he was cultivating alone, and he felt that his talent in spells was quite good!
Cultivators who consume Qi are not suitable to practice spells, are they? Since it was a common trait, wouldn't it be normal for him to learn it slower?
Some people are suitable for a fast start, and some people are good at later stages! He, Lou Xiaoyi, might belong to the kind of people who are good at later stages!
Ants are not creatures of the mud, and they turn into insects when they encounter wind and rain!
When he reaches Foundation Establishment, who can say who is strong and who is weak? When the time comes, with his still passable close combat skills and powerful long-range spells, he can be free and unfettered for the rest of his life, right?
This was Lou Xiaoyi's evaluation of his own abilities, and his future plans!
What he didn't know was that it was all a mess!
In the market square of Phoenix Mountain, the cultivator from Life Leaving Heaven had suggested that he buy a Five Elements Compass to roughly determine the attributes of his Five Elements. After he came back, he was delayed for a few months because of the great changes in his family. Only when everything was normal did he test himself.
The answer was a little unexpected. His Five Elements were actually the rarer Metal Element!
Rare is rare, rare is precious, and precious means that he has a bright future. In any case, this was how he understood the Five Elements!
What else could he do? He couldn't dislike his own body!
The Metal Element was a little awkward in the Qi Eating stage, because among the Five Elements, the easiest ones for Qi Eating cultivators to use were Fire, Water, Wood, Earth, and Metal!
The activation of the Metal Element required the cultivator's spiritual power to be very strong. Of course, it was also the most destructive!
It was not that Lou Xiaoyi did not have Gold Elemental Spells. In the past five years, he would go to the depths of the Gobi Desert to catch Red Thread Worms every year. Then, he would go to Phoenix Mountain to exchange them for Spirit Stones. Because he knew that his natal attribute was Gold Elemental, he also bought two Gold Elemental Spells for the Qi Eater Stage in high spirits.
Prickles, Molten Metal Magic Shield.
Unfortunately, Metal Element spells required the cultivator's spiritual power to be very strong. He had never successfully used the Molten Metal Magic Shield. No matter how long he held it, even if his dantian was empty, it was useless.
He was able to use prickles, but the effect made him speechless. Due to the strength of his spiritual energy, the prickles had turned into burrs. It was like being nailed by a barb on a blade of grass. It was meaningless!
He finally understood that there was also a gap in the nature of objects in magic. The reason why everyone liked to use fire magic was because fire didn't have a fixed form, or you could think of it as a gaseous state, which made it easier to understand.
Next was Water Element, because it was a liquid, it was more difficult to simulate it with spells. Then there was Wood, Earth, and Metal, which were solid. The higher the density, the harder it was to simulate, because the spiritual power couldn't support it!
Ordinary people who realized this might be disappointed in their own talent for spells, but Lou Xiaoyi was different. He saw that he was different from the others. When he reached the Foundation Building stage and mastered the most difficult Metal Element spells, wouldn't he be able to suppress the Five Elements with one gold?
He had an unreasonable confidence in his own talent for spells. He didn't know where it came from, but it was deeply ingrained and couldn't be changed!
It was as if Dao Cultivation was Dao Cultivation, and everything else didn't exist. He didn't realize this point at all.
Ninety percent of Dao Cultivators were Dao Cultivation, so it didn't seem wrong to think this way.
At this time of the year, according to the usual practice, he should have gone to the depths of the Gobi Desert to catch Red Thread Worms, but he didn't. The reason was simple: the secret of the Dolphin Thread Incense had been discovered!
It wasn't from him. In this regard, he had always been very cautious and careful, and he wasn't greedy. However, in the Cultivation World, even Rogue Cultivators were a group of the smartest and most adventurous fellows. When the Dolphin Thread Incense became popular in the north and south of the Yangtze River, this was an inevitable result. Whether it was intentional or not, the fact that the Dolphin Thread Incense could attract Red Thread Worms could no longer be hidden.
