Practice begins with a fisherman

The second-level low-grade water acupuncture is actually almost the same as the ice attribute ice acupuncture. It can condense the water flow into water needles, and use its powerful attack power to break through the surface. proportional to skill proficiency.

Zhao Shoushou, as a newly promoted foundation-building first-level monk, even if he successfully comprehended it, at the very beginning, he could sacrifice at most three to five water needles each time.

Water acupuncture is one of the few offensive spiritual arts among the water attribute skills. Its attack power is not weak, but it is more secretive, especially in relatively fierce battles. It is still relatively difficult to find.

The water net technique can extract the essence of water to form a water net. It is not a spiritual technique purely used for defense. It is not impossible to use it to block the enemy at the right time.

The Spiritual Water Jue is a completely auxiliary type of treasure. Its main function is to extract the essence of water in a large area, and use it to water elixir, spiritual rice, etc. It has a non-negligible effect on the cultivation of precious plants.

The three second-level low-grade spiritual arts recorded in "Congealing Water Jue" each have their own magical effects. If one can understand the essence of them, the combat effectiveness will also be significantly improved.

With the assistance of three high-quality first-grade high-grade magic weapons, there is still no problem in protecting themselves in the battles of some not-so-strong foundation-building monks.

In fact, the predicament that Zhao Shoushou faced after his successful advancement was also faced by most casual cultivators in the foundation building period. After exhausting all his belongings and narrowly dying, he still had to start all over again. It's just a little bit better.

A lot of casual cultivation in the foundation building period takes more than ten years, and only after we piece together things can we have a chance to get the first spiritual weapon, and only I know the hardships and sorrows.

But from this point of view, most sect monks will be much better off. The foundation building period is the backbone supporting the development of the sect. Once the foundation is established successfully, some powerful sects will present some spiritual weapons with matching attributes, and some small sects will also raise A batch of spiritual materials as a reward.

However, these temporary difficulties obviously couldn't stop him, and now he was already trying to comprehend the mystery of the second-level low-grade water acupuncture technique.

Compared with the spells commonly used by monks in the Qi refining period to fight against the enemy, each kind of spiritual spell has its own unique spirit pattern. To successfully comprehend it, the first thing you need is to firmly copy it with your spiritual consciousness in the dantian .

These spirit patterns are like a charging medium. In the future, Zhao Shoushou only needs to keep enough mana injected into them to quickly cast various spirit techniques.

As an entry-level spiritual technique, water acupuncture is not too complicated. It consists of 12 upper and lower lines. It looks like a capital "needle" from a distance, but it looks a little more complicated.

When Zhao Shoushou's consciousness tried to get close to the lines of the spiritual art in "Congealing Water Jue" to feel the changes, he felt a tingling pain every time he took a step forward, as if there were really many invisible needles attacking him from different directions .

Although this slight sting pain made him a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help frowning, it was far from enough to repel him, especially after passing the test of foundation establishment, his tolerance for pain was unprecedentedly large improve.

This set of "Congealing Water Jue" was directly exchanged among various sects, so the quality of the spirit patterns engraved in it is also extremely reliable.

If this is not the case, how can he bear the touch of spiritual consciousness, which is one of the reasons why he has always insisted on exchanging in various sects, at least there is a certain guarantee in terms of quality.

Following the touch of his consciousness, apart from the tingling pain, Zhao Shoushou felt a special rhythm coming from the spirit pattern, and there was even a faint sound of surging.

With the deepening of understanding, it seems that there are only 12 upper and lower lines in the spiritual lines, but there are hidden mysteries, and each line has more branches.

This seemingly simple spirit pattern is like a mysterious small world. Only by discovering all the mysteries in it and replicating it perfectly in the dantian can it be possible to truly comprehend this spirit technique.

The difficulty of comprehending the spiritual technique far exceeded Zhao Shoushou's expectation. If there was a disagreement, it might take at least several months for just this water acupuncture technique.

"With the rare oasis in the desert and the help of sufficient spiritual power, I think it will be smooth sailing here." After cheering himself up in a low voice, Zhao Shoushou began to sink his heart to realize the true wonder of the spirit pattern.

The tingling power carried in the spirit pattern represents the attack power after formation. The thick surge power undoubtedly represents its natural attributes. Perhaps the fire attribute spirituality will feel like a raging fire.

The smaller branch lines contained in the twelve lines can be used to store spiritual power on weekdays, and once encountering a battle, they will immediately become the same channel of mana transmission to ensure that the spiritual art is in a state that can be activated at any time.

These details are all necessary factors for comprehending spiritual arts. If you don't have an in-depth understanding, you may have a lower chance of success if you just follow the gourd.

After falling into the in-depth study of spiritual arts, the passage of time will not leave any traces. It was not until the third month that Zhao Shoushou began to carve the spiritual patterns in his dantian.

"How can I know the mystery of a small spirit pattern without in-depth research? Sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood, and three months will not be wasted." Zhao Shoushou patted his chest confidently this day.

However, what happened later in the process of engraving the spirit pattern proved that everything was obviously not as smooth as expected, and failures were just commonplace.

The engraving of the spirit pattern and the making of the talisman seal have the same effect. They must be done in one go. If there is a slight mistake in the middle, it will lead to the collapse of the spiritual power, and you must start from the beginning.

The strict requirement of "dong dong" is obviously not something that can be easily achieved, which caused bursts of strange noises to be heard from his stomach.

Fortunately, even if they fail, these spirit patterns are just broken, and they don't carry a trace of counterattack force, and they don't do much harm to the monk himself.

The practice of the second-level low-grade water acupuncture is not a pleasant process. Zhao Shoushou thinks that it is a kind of tempering of patience, and it is also a process that practice makes perfect. After a certain number of failures, the success seems to come naturally. .

It wasn't until six months later that a small and even slightly illusory "needle"-shaped spirit pattern appeared in his dantian.

Spirit patterns also have a certain growth potential. This kind of magical little thing will improve with the improvement of cultivation base and spiritual skill proficiency until it reaches the ceiling of the rank.

Of course, this does not mean that with the improvement of cultivation base in the future, lower-level spiritual arts will be useless. Although the power will not continue to increase, the number is almost unlimited. Shooting, even a monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment must take it seriously.

Chapter 186 The Miraculous Spiritual Water Technique

It took a full six months to successfully comprehend the first second-level low-grade spiritual art water acupuncture, which was naturally a strong encouragement to Zhao Shoushou.

Even after the successful engraving of the spirit pattern, he couldn't wait to activate it. When the three water needles quickly took shape at the fingertips and pierced through several oak trees that had grown more than 200 years in the distance and still had enough power, the excitement in his heart was even greater. beyond words.

Zhao Shoushou, who is well aware of the thorns and thorns in the cultivation world, is not satisfied with this, but sinks his heart and continues to attack the water net technique and the spirit water technique.

As a defensive spiritual art, the importance of the Water Net Art is self-evident. It can be used to protect one's life at a critical moment, especially if there is no defensive spiritual weapon to protect one's body.

As for the auxiliary spirit technique, the spirit water technique seems inconspicuous, but it is an indispensable and important helper to consolidate the foundation in the future. Whether it is cultivating elixir or other treasures, it is of great help.

After being promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is not only difficult to find spiritual tools, but also very few spiritual pills that can help improve one's cultivation, and the price of each spiritual pill is high.

As a casual cultivator, simply relying on fighting and killing is obviously not enough to maintain the needs of cultivation. It is particularly important to manage a foundation, and the cultivation of elixir is the most important thing.

Could it be that at this point, one still thinks that the second-level low-grade spirit water technique is a tasteless existence that is tasteless and a pity to discard?

In addition, the area of ​​this oasis is not too large, and maybe it will need to expand to the surrounding desert in the future. At this time, it is even more important to have the infiltration of the water essence containing the essence of water.

It was under the impetus of the above-mentioned reasons that Zhao Shoushou immersed himself in the comprehension of spiritual arts and the carving of spiritual patterns.

It would be a rare anecdote if it was spread. A newly promoted monk in the foundation period did not go out to travel for the first time to earn resources for practice. Instead, he stayed here patiently like an old farmer who could endure loneliness. A desert that single-mindedly improves and hones combat effectiveness.

This state lasted until two years later. After countless failures under his unremitting efforts, he finally succeeded in comprehending the last auxiliary spirit technique, the spirit water technique.

The offensive spirit water needle technique took six months, the defensive spirit water net technique took eight months, and the auxiliary spirit water spirit technique took the longest ten months.

The spirit pattern of the spirit water technique is composed of two small spirit patterns condensed in a special posture. When it is carved with consciousness and mana as raw materials, it can be said to be unprecedentedly complicated.

And when it was about to succeed in the sixth month, it was discovered that the mana in the dantian had been exhausted, and the newly promoted monks in the foundation-building stage were just a threshold for cultivation, which was unbelievable.

"I didn't expect that a mere spirit water technique would take the longest time. I hope the effect won't disappoint me." Zhao Shoushou couldn't wait to experiment with the fruits of his labor.

According to common sense, a new foundation-building monk, even if he doesn't have a spiritual weapon, but after learning two kinds of spiritual skills, one attack and one defense, is enough to deal with ordinary battles, and he will not be so calm and spend more Study an auxiliary spirit for a long time.

One of the reasons why Zhao Shoushou paid so much attention to the spiritual water technique was that the most important thing was that it could transform the desert according to the legend. According to legend, this spiritual water containing the essence of spiritual power had a good effect on improving the barren state of the desert.

Before the short and powerful words of "Spiritual Water Technique, Edict" came down, a drizzle of rain fell on a small desert selected by Zhao Shoushou outside the oasis.

Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with spiritual spells for the first time, or maybe it's because this place is too dry and not the best place to cast spiritual water spells. In short, the amount of spiritual water that appears here is very rare.

"The soil quality of the desert has not changed too much, but the moisture and spiritual power in it can be retained in a short period of time. If you want to change it, it will be a long-term process." After some inspections, I can't say that I am disappointed or happy, at least It can be shown that nearly ten months of hard work were not wasted.

The change of desert soil quality is a long-term process. Since a certain amount of moisture and spiritual power can be left in a short period of time, you can try to plant some spiritual plants that have been tested to cultivate soil and fix sand. Over time, their barren attributes will naturally be gradually changed.

Of course, this kind of investment is long-term, and requires a lot of manpower and material resources, which is far beyond what Zhao Shoushou, a newly promoted monk in the foundation stage, can afford. What he can do is only change within the scope of his ability.

Although this oasis is not too big, it can withstand at least the training needs of more than [-] monks after careful management. The land near the lake with abundant spiritual power can even try to open up a lot of spiritual fields and elixir gardens.

In other words, Zhao Shoushou, who is alone, doesn't have much desire and need to open up to the desert in a short period of time. His main goal in the next stage is naturally to manage this place seriously, and maybe it can be used as a lair in the future.

Now that you have successfully advanced to the foundation building stage, even if you are discovered by passing monks, there should be no problem if you want to keep an oasis. If you want to, it may even become a rest point during the desert journey in Anzhou and Xianzhou, and collect some low-cost spirit stones. In return, these monks who occasionally pass by here have no objections.

Facts once again proved that strength crushes everything. In front of a foundation-building monk, some monks would have no objections. Of course, monks of the same level who pass by here by chance naturally do not need to pay spirit stones.

The four elements of practice: Dharma, Companionship, Wealth, and Land. Apart from Taoist companions, the Companion refers to some like-minded fellows, because Zhao Shoushou, who was born as a casual cultivator, is extremely eager to know or communicate with other monks in the Foundation Establishment period .

"Senior, please show up to save your life. This junior is a descendant of the Shen family who is responsible for the trade between Anzhou and Xianzhou. The family will definitely be rewarded in the future." A sharp voice suddenly appeared in the early hours of the day.

"The Shen family? Specializes in the trade of unique resources between Anzhou and Xianzhou. The family has three foundation-building monks sitting in the town. They are rich and worth making friends with." In fact, what Zhao Shoushou wants to know more is the monks of the refining period outside. How did he discover the oasis under the protection of the first-level top-grade cloud gauze phantom array?

Afterwards, Zhao Shoushou quickly had a general understanding of the situation outside the magnified array. The monk who was asking for help was pale, and the empty arms between his sleeves had disappeared without a trace.

On the sandy land not far away, there are continuous sand dunes rising and disappearing, which is the unique monster sand lizard in the desert, but the aura of the leader is very different.

The continuous splashing of gravel and powerful aura are enough to prove the aura of the second-rank low-grade monster, and it is precisely because of the existence of this monster that they are so embarrassed.

Of course, this second-tier low-grade sand lizard will soon be his formidable enemy, after all, it is related to the competition between the two for the spiritual vein.

Chapter 187 Against the second-tier low-grade sand lizard

In fact, judging from the ups and downs of the monster's aura, the time for this second-level low-grade sand lizard to advance should not be too long, and it can be said that it is almost the same as Zhao Shoushou.

The same is true for monsters and monks. Take the sand lizard as an example, relying on a little spiritual power in the depths of the desert can meet the needs of cultivation before it advances. Once it becomes a second-level monster, its demand for spiritual power will increase exponentially.

But in this vast but extremely dry and barren desert, there are only a few oases with some good spiritual veins, and the one occupied by Zhao Shoushou is basically ranked high.

This meant that there would be an inevitable battle between the newly-promoted foundation-builder Zhao Shoushou and this newly-promoted second-rank sand lizard, but now it was brought forward because of the appearance of the monks from the Shen family.

He didn't care about this, instead, there was a burst of fighting spirit in him, and he welcomed opponents whose cultivation base was basically enough to hone their combat effectiveness.

"What an evil beast, it's showing fierce power in front of Zhao, how can I spare you today?" After confirming that there is no ambush around, only Zhao Shoushou yelled, and he had already stepped out of the range of the cloud gauze illusion array, and stepped into the air , The big sleeve flutters like a land fairy, as chic and comfortable.

"Hissing" the second-level low-grade sand lizard saw the opponent appear, and didn't care about the delicious food that was close at hand. Before the roar fell, several sand arrows had already struck.

This seemingly indomitable, clumsy guy actually knows how to take advantage of the favorable situation on the battlefield, and take the lead in attacking the enemy to seize the favorable situation.

Naturally, a few sand arrows wouldn't cause much damage to Zhao Shoushou, but a flash of light flashed with his hands, and the sand arrows that hadn't approached had been wiped out one after another.

With Zhao Shoushou's personality, how could he only be beaten and not fight back? A first-rank high-grade magic weapon with a special red copper color, the bronze dagger, shot out with a sound of piercing, straight to the neck of the second-rank low-grade sand lizard. Attack away.

The first-grade top-grade bronze dagger, a special magic weapon, has a little unfulfilled meaning every time it is driven during the Qi refining period, and it has never displayed its true power.

After being promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was the first time to use it. On the contrary, there was a feeling of harmony. The power of the Bronze Spear was obviously stronger than before. It even poses a big threat to the second-level low-grade Sand Lizard. It has to be handled carefully. .

In any case, the Bronze Dagger was only a high-grade magic weapon after all, and the essential difference in grades could not be easily bridged. In addition, the Sand Lizard was already good at defense, so it was doomed to only serve as a nuisance.

When the second-tier low-grade sand lizard faced it head-on, it didn't have much results except for leaving a deep red mark. It even flew back easily under the sharp counterattack of the sand lizard.

"Senior, be careful, this sand lizard is best at attacking with its long tongue," the disciple of the Shen family standing aside was quite bold, reminding him.

However, his reminder was obviously a bit late. Before Zhao Shoushou had time to take any precautions, a long tongue full of barbs and carrying an unpleasant stench had already attacked.

The sand lizard's tongue has devoured the sand grains deep in the desert for a long time, which contains some meager spiritual power. After a long period of training, it has become a qualified killer, and its power is no less than a second-level low-grade spiritual weapon.

From this we can see how much the sudden attack has affected him. If he doesn't respond well, he may suffer serious injuries.

"What an evil animal, what a big appetite, but I don't know if it is equipped with a good mouth, water net technique, come out" Zhao Shoushou gave an order, and the spirit pattern that had just stabilized in the dantian immediately exerted force.

Three water nets appeared in front of him at an extremely fast speed. These nets composed of water flow seem simple, but they have the characteristic of the greatest water flow. The lizard's attack is destined to be ineffective.

Even if he tried his best to break through three water nets in succession in the end, it would be nothing more than the end of his strength. Zhao Shoushou could not say that taking advantage of the situation to counterattack would bring greater results, not to mention that he still had a first-grade high-grade copper coin shield in front of him.

"Crackling" proved that Zhao Shoushou's predictions were correct. The sand lizard's tongue was not weak, but after breaking through two water nets, it was already weak.

This rare opportunity was fleeting, but it was firmly grasped by him. The Bronze Ge, which had failed last time, went out again, and the Shuiyin Sword, who had made many achievements in the Qi refining period, harassed him.

However, Zhao Shoushou obviously didn't have this method alone. The second-level low-grade water acupuncture technique that he had never used in the battle was also impressive.

Under his full force, the potential of the "needle" spirit pattern was fully activated, and the eight water needles attacked from four directions, front, back, left, and right.

The second-level low-grade water acupuncture technique is best at piercing the surface, and it is just used to deal with relatively rough-skinned and thick-skinned monsters like sand lizards. It must be able to give it an unforgettable surprise.

The most important thing is that there is not much movement in the water acupuncture technique. The monsters who are entangled with the two first-level high-grade magic weapons obviously have not yet noticed the approaching crisis.

The monks of the Shen family who were watching the battle not far away had turned gray again when they saw Zhao Shoushou fighting the enemy with a high-grade magic weapon of the first order.

Apparently he didn't think that a newly-promoted foundation-building first-tier monk could defeat the mighty monster in front of him head-on, but he felt a little relieved when Zhao Shoushou performed two powerful spiritual spells one after another.

Even if you can't kill this rare second-tier low-grade sand lizard, it's not a problem to repel it and save your life. After all, your life is safe.

"It's a pity that this precious fur can be exchanged for at least 30 yuan of middle-grade spirit stones." The disciple of the Shen family regretted silently in his heart.

The whole body of the monster is full of treasures, the most precious of which is the monster core formed after being promoted to the second level, each of which is worth about a hundred middle-grade spirit stones.

"Hiss" At this moment, there was a painful hiss from the sand lizard. It turned out that the four water needles hit the target accurately and pierced it from the left and right sides of its abdomen, leaving four No small wound.

The second-tier low-grade sand lizard is worthy of being the overlord of the desert. When the eight water needles were close at hand, it used the cover of the desert to escape the catastrophe at a critical moment.

"Let's taste some well-prepared talisman feast again." With a smirk on his face, Zhao Shoushou took out more than [-] first-grade middle-grade talismans from the storage bag, and inspired them all at once. Spells of various attributes attacked the second-tier low-grade sand lizard like a swarm.

These talisman seals are all obtained from the Man family's talisman making hall, and their effect on him will only become smaller and smaller. Now it is a good choice to use the waste heat.

However, the disciples of the Shen family, who stood aside and were seriously injured, looked dumbfounded and couldn't believe this extravagant and wasteful fighting method.

It seems to be talking about how such a rogue way of fighting would appear on a foundation-building monk.

Chapter 188 Planning of the Desert Oasis

This kind of combat method, which was not considered open and aboveboard, but which he had always liked very much, obviously had a good effect. The monster, which was not lightly injured, was blown into a dizzy state.

Overjoyed by seeing this scene, Zhao Shoushou's morale was greatly boosted, and he attacked two first-tier high-grade magic weapons in a row, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

And the effect seems to be good. On the basis of the original injuries, there are several consecutive obvious wounds. Seeing that the first battle after the foundation is established, the victory is in sight.

However, everything was not so simple and smooth. When he was about to go all out to achieve greater results, the tail of the second-rank low-grade sand lizard fell from the sky in an unexpected way, like a powerful whip, steady and ruthless. Its head was smashed.

This sand lizard, which has undergone countless generations of mutations, actually has the talent of the ancestor gecko's tail-docking, and this powerful and lethal trick has been well hidden until now at the last moment that decides the outcome of the battle.

The actual situation is that the power and lethality of the gecko's tail-docking move are considerable, but it is also quite exhausting for the sand lizard. Once it is used, it will take a long time to recover, and it cannot be easily used unless it is at a critical moment.
