To put it simply, beginners could not borrow the power of nature, nor could they resonate with nature. The only thing they could use was the external manifestation of their own spiritual power, or they could use some external objects to achieve their goals.
Under such conditions, the easiest method was, of course, the Abstinence Technique. To put it bluntly, it was like spitting fire from the mouth of the circus. The only difference was that the performers had oil in their mouths, while the cultivators really spit it out, and the power was very different.
Of course, there were also the swindlers who had some foundation in Taoist magic, ignited their spiritual vigor, and had oil in their mouths, which also had a different momentum.
In order of difficulty, using the nose to breathe fire was even more difficult. After that, it was the eyes and fingers. These four spells all used the body to release fire. Next was the Borrowing Spell, which used talisman fire, and the Transfer Spell, which used array fire. Only the Void Spell, which was the last one, was the real flame of the cultivation world. It could be created out of nothing, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.
Therefore, the Seven Forms of Fire was not divided by the quality of the flame, but by the difficulty of the beginner's fire. It was the most basic thing, like a child's play. This was also the reason why the mainstream level had always been discouraged from practicing magic while eating Qi.
It was very awkward to attack, and even more awkward to defend. It could be seen from the Ice Chapter of Water's Impermanence. Because it could not resonate with nature, it took time to cast magic. At the level of Lou Xiaoyi, he might not be able to make an ice crystal shield with defensive effect. By the time he made it, he would have already become a corpse.
The instantaneous method did exist, but it was only limited to after sensing.
It was a fact that the cultivators at the stage of eating Qi relied on the weapons in their hands to fight like mortals. Because they could inject their spiritual power into it, the effect they could achieve by waving their weapons was far more powerful than that of mortals. It was something that internal strength could not compare to.
At this stage, the most economical way for individual cultivators to travel in Jianghu was to carry a sword at the waist and a stack of talismans in the pocket. This was the experience of long-term practice.
Experience was precious, and it was piled up with blood. Lou Xiaoyi wanted to change this way and follow his own interests, but he found that he did not have the capital to be different.
Talismans required capital. Whether it was professional talisman paper or spirit sand, he didn't have the money to do this right now. Moreover, he didn't know where to buy them, so he could only give up temporarily.
On the other hand, the Paper Figurine Technique was more comprehensive. It could defend and attack. However, while it might be useful against ordinary mortals, it was useless against cultivators.
After much deliberation, Lou Xiaoyi found that the most suitable thing for him now was to practice martial arts with the old soldiers and strive to overcome this awkward stage of cultivation.
Lou Xiaoyi felt very helpless when he stepped into the path of cultivation and returned to his personal strength.
He was someone who cherished his life very much. He always felt that his choices were very awkward, so he simply went to sleep!
The next day, Lou Xiaoyi cultivated at five in the morning. After feeling refreshed, Lou Xiaoyi went through all the spells in his mind again and made a new decision.
[Stealth], [Tornado Escape Armor], [Reckless Ox Body], and [Martial Arts] from the old soldiers!
This was the most convenient way, and also the way to do the least useless work. Since he couldn't figure out what was the best combination of spells, he might as well not learn anything and use [Reckless Ox Body] and martial arts to replace his own safety during the whole period of eating.
Most importantly, if he cultivated a body strengthening technique, would he be able to find the mystery of how to help mortals adjust their bodies?
Even the cleverest housewife can't cook a meal without rice. The things left behind by Laozi are not systematic and are scattered all over the place. It's really difficult.
Even for him, the former Young Master Sima of the secular world. He had to take economic factors into consideration in the process of cultivation.
He didn't have the intention to find an organization. First of all, it was difficult to find one. Second, the requirements were too high. He started cultivating at this age, which was already very late in the cultivation world. It might be amazing in the eyes of mortals, but in the eyes of real cultivation forces, it was nothing.
It wasn't completely impossible to find such a force, but it required a lot of resources and wealth, and it also required a lot of skin … As a loser in his previous life, one of the biggest characteristics was that he didn't ask for help!
Even if he was poor, he wasn't willing to bend over for five bushels of rice!
This kind of character made him suffer a lot in his previous life, but he still didn't change and brought it back to this world.
Lou Xiaoyi's plan for his life was to live for a few more decades and experience the feeling of controlling wind and fire. That was enough!
What was the point of living so long? It was very tiring!
Therefore, if the spells weren't systematic, it was very important to have a good body. It was not only useful in fighting outside, but also in fighting inside.
After having a certain ability to protect himself, he could slowly learn those unconventional spells. Thinking about it, he would have the opportunity to sense it in his lifetime, right?
Once he sensed it, well, that was the Foundation Establishment, he would have at least a few decades of lifespan. This life was enough, it was that simple!
Why should he think about becoming a deity? Why should he be on tenterhooks and avoid other people with luck? Why should he make his life so complicated?
Why? Wasn't it good to be a long-lived rice worm?
The young maidservant outside reported that Aunt Cai Huan had already entered his courtyard. Lou Xiaoyi hurriedly welcomed Aunt Cai Huan in.
Since the age of fifteen or sixteen, the two old madams rarely came to his courtyard. This was also the rule of a big house. When one became an adult, they should have their own privacy and secrets. They couldn't be like a child, staring at everything and not letting go of everything.
Looking at the slightly messy layout of the study, Aunt Cai Huan frowned.
"These servants are really outrageous. It's so messy, but they don't know how to tidy it up!"
Lou Xiaoyi inched forward to please her. "Aunt Cai, I didn't let them in. Every seven days, they clean up. You came at a bad time. Today is the sixth day, so it's a bit messy."
Aunt Cai Huan glared at him. "You set up these strange rules. Isn't it normal to take care of it every day?
You were such a clean and well-behaved person when you were young. Why are you getting sloppy as you grow up? "
