Ten days later, Lou Xiaoyi, who had completely familiarized himself with the cultivation method, took out the third Jade Slip – Zhang Body Movement Technique. At the same time, he started his usual cultivation method, which was running in the Gobi Desert.
He liked this method very much. Ever since he ran back from the core area of the Gobi Desert, he could never forget that feeling. Everyone liked to stand still and release their spells, so he decided to practice a different method. Maybe it would have a different effect if he released his spells while running?
Moreover, he really thought that it was interesting to combine several cultivation methods together. Previously, it was the Middle Parallel Qigong, Reckless Bull Body, and Whirlwind Escape Armor. Now, it was the Jade Clear Zhongping Imperial Edict, Small Taoist Body, and Zhang Body Movement Technique. He still ran from night to night, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and converting it into red thread worms. He replenished and replenished the spiritual energy in his dantian, causing it to frequently experience the cycle of swelling and drying up.
This was more comfortable than sitting down to cultivate, because he could vaguely feel that he was really flying while running … This feeling was intoxicating. He was deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
Moreover, this kind of cultivation was much better than sitting in his own study. So, why not?
The only difference was that he no longer needed the second son of the Liu family to follow him. Now, Lou Xiaoyi was completely independent. The two old ladies would not set up any obstacles in his way.
A month later, he added new items to his morning cultivation. The Art of Inner Nourishing Eyes and the True Essence of Attuning Ears.
These two sensing techniques were not suitable to be cultivated in movement, but in absolute silence. It was perfect for the environment of Lou Province's study. This was the experience he gained in the Gobi Desert. When he was followed by Liang Kuangren, it also proved this point. Without a sharp perception, you would not know when the other party was close to you. It was too dangerous!
In the third month, the cold winter was over and spring was coming. It was the end of his first year in this body. Lou Xiaoyi couldn't help but try the three spells one by one. The Fire Spirit Spell, the Ice Finger Spell, and the Iron Drum.
What disappointed him was that, just as his predecessors had said, the spells of the Eating Qi stage were more like a joke. It was a kind of magic, a kind of sideshow. He also understood why many cultivators who had no hope of improving themselves would end up helping others to expiate their sins and cheat on the streets. The so-called spells they knew could only do this.
The Spiritual Flame Technique was to use the spiritual energy in the body to create a ball of flame between the fingers. Of course, it was also possible to spit it out from the mouth. The nature of this kind of flame was not very different from ordinary flames. It was impossible to hope that it could burn a person to death. It was more likely to burn a bloody blister. Moreover, once this thing was thrown out, it would become a rootless duckweed, a tree without a source. It would extinguish very quickly, extinguishing as soon as it came into contact with the wind … It did not have the attribute of being able to injure a person from a distance, but it was perfect for teasing children.
The Ice Finger Technique was the same. It required one to insert one's finger into the water and slowly form a layer of ice on the surface of the water. As for how many feet of ice it would form and how much time it would take, it was purely dependent on one's spiritual energy cultivation. What else could this kind of spell be used for other than iced sour plum soup?
It was simply wishful thinking to hope that it could be used to injure people by condensing an ice arrow. First of all, it was impossible to gather water out of thin air, let alone condense an ice arrow in an instant. It was impossible to use this kind of spell by carrying a water bag with you, right?
The Iron Drum was even more hilarious. Lou Xiaoyi originally thought that it was a defensive spell similar to the Golden Bell Shield or Iron Skin Technique. Who knew that it was not focused on iron, but the drum!
This was a skill that relied on a loud voice to scare people, just like the Lion's Roar. However, the name was too intimidating. After knowing its function, Lou Xiaoyi had no interest in trying it!
His magical dream had been shattered, but it did not matter. It was only temporary. Now, he needed to lay the foundation so that he could explode in the future!
Lou Xiaoyi calmed himself down and focused all his attention on the direction he had chosen. The days passed quickly, and the progress of his cultivation was not slow either. This was a progress that could be felt. He felt like he was growing every day.
He spent part of his time on the Art of Controlling Objects. This was also what a few kind-hearted old cultivators had told him when he was in the Town of Xian Lai. Since the spells of the Qi Eater stage were not reliable, then the only thing that could be useful in battle was Controlling Objects!
The key to Controlling Objects was the choice of weapon. If you chose a hundred catty broadsword, you would be asking for humiliation. Generally speaking, if it was too big, you would not be able to control it. If it was too small, for example, flying needles would have limited lethality. This required a suitable size.
The weapon could not be an ordinary weapon because the conductivity of spiritual energy was too poor. It required a special spiritual weapon that was mixed with cultivation materials.
Liang Kuangren's long sword was a spiritual weapon. The name of the sword was Blood Hook. Lou Xiaoyi did not like it very much. He felt that the name was too fierce and completely unnecessary. Even if you wanted to kill people, you did not have to act so fierce, right? Was it not good to be more reserved?
However, the name of the sword was engraved on the hilt and could not be scraped off. He could only wrap it with a layer of silk thread. This thing was very useful to carry on his back. It was of good quality and he could not bear to throw it away. Fortunately, the scholars of the Ye Kingdom had the habit of carrying swords. He did not look too ostentatious with one hanging on his waist. In fact, he still liked to carry swords on his back, but that was not the way scholars carried swords.
Lou Xiaoyi had no place to find these materials. However, he was lucky that Liang Kuangren's storage ring had prepared enough for him.
The short dagger was very suitable for Controlling Objects. However, it had a shortcoming. It was only one dagger. If he did not achieve the desired effect when he used it, it was very likely that it would not return! Moreover, it weighed close to a catty and was not something he could control. It was just right for him to insert it into his boot.
Relatively speaking, a set of nine flying daggers was a perfect match for Controlling Objects. He guessed that Liang Kuangren also used it this way.
These weapons did not have Liang Kuangren's imprint on them, including the two storage rings. For Qi eating cultivators, things like divine sense were still very far away from them. Therefore, there was no need to erase anything on the items.
This was the golden stage of looting corpses. There was no need to worry about not being able to use the items after looting them. The only regret was that the value was a little low.
Each flying dagger was shaped like a willow leaf and did not have a hilt. This was because these things were not designed to be thrown out by hand. The blades had two edges and blood grooves. This showed Liang Kuangren's ruthless temperament.
The daggers weighed three to four catties. This weight might be just right for Liang Kuangren, but it was a little too heavy for Lou Xiaoyi. However, it did not matter. As his cultivation deepened, he would become more familiar with this weight.
