It took him a full six months to successfully master the first second-level low-grade spiritual technique, the Water Needle Technique, which was naturally a great encouragement to Zhao Shoushou.
Even after the spiritual pattern was successfully carved, he couldn't wait to activate it. When three water needles quickly formed on his fingertips and penetrated several oak trees in the distance that had grown for more than two hundred years and still had power left, the excitement in his heart was even greater.
Beyond words.
Zhao Shoushou, who was well aware that the world of cultivation was full of obstacles, was not satisfied with this. Instead, he calmed down and continued to attack the Water Net Technique and the Spiritual Water Technique.
As a defensive spiritual technique, the importance of water net technique is naturally self-evident. It can be used to protect one's life at critical moments, especially when there is no defensive spiritual weapon to protect the body.
As for the auxiliary spiritual art and spiritual water art, it may seem inconspicuous, but it is an indispensable and important helper for laying a solid foundation in the future. It is of great help whether it is cultivating elixirs or other treasures.
After advancing to the foundation building stage, it is not only difficult to find spiritual weapons, but also there are very few spiritual pills that can help improve your 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 your cultivation needs. Managing a foundation ground is particularly important, and the cultivation of elixirs is even more important.
Is it possible that at this stage, one still feels that the second-level low-grade spiritual water technique is a worthless existence that is tasteless and a pity to be discarded?
In addition, the area of this oasis is not large. It may be necessary to expand the territory to the surrounding desert in the future. At this time, it is even more important to have the spiritual water technique containing the essence of water.
It was precisely because of the above-mentioned reasons that Zhao Shoushou immersed himself wholeheartedly in the understanding of spiritual arts and the carving of spiritual patterns.
This would be a rare anecdote if word spread. A newly promoted monk in the foundation period did not immediately travel abroad to earn resources for practice. Instead, like an old farmer who could endure loneliness, he patiently stayed here.
A desert like this single-mindedly improves and trains combat effectiveness.
This state lasted until two years later. After numerous failures due to his unremitting efforts, he finally successfully mastered the last auxiliary spiritual art, the spiritual water technique.
The offensive spiritual technique Water Needle Technique consumes six months, the defensive spiritual technique Water Net Technique consumes eight months, and the auxiliary spiritual technique Water Needle Technique consumes a maximum of ten months.
The spirit pattern of the spirit water technique is composed of two small spirit patterns condensed in a special posture. When carving with spiritual consciousness and mana as raw materials, it can be said to be unprecedentedly complex.
And when the sixth month was about to succeed, it was discovered that the mana in the Dantian had been exhausted, and the newly promoted monks in the foundation-building stage were just at the threshold of cultivation, which was unbelievable.
"I didn't expect that a mere spiritual water technique would take the longest time. I hope the effect won't disappoint someone." Zhao Shoushou couldn't wait to experiment with the fruits of his labor.
According to common sense, a newly promoted monk in the foundation-building stage, even if he does not have a spiritual weapon with him, can still handle ordinary battles after learning two spiritual arts: one attack and one defense. He will not be so calm and spend more time.
Study an auxiliary spiritual technique for a long time.
One of the reasons why Zhao Shoushou attached so much importance to the spiritual water technique was the legendary transformation effect on the desert. 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, Imperial Order" could be finished, a small drizzle of rain fell on a small desert area selected by Zhao Shoushou on the outskirts of the oasis.
Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with spiritual arts when I cast it for the first time, or maybe it's because this place is too dry and is 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 significantly, but the moisture and spiritual power in it can be retained in a short time. If you want to change it, it will be a long-term process." After some inspection, I can't say I am disappointed or happy, at least
It can prove that nearly ten months of hard work have not been wasted.
The change of desert soil is a long-term process. Since it can retain a certain amount of moisture and spiritual power in a short period of time, you can try to plant some spiritual plants that have the effect of cultivating soil and fixing sand through experiments. Over time, it will naturally gradually change its poor properties.
Of course, this kind of investment is long-term and requires a lot of manpower and material resources. It is far beyond what Zhao Shoushou, a newly promoted monk in the foundation building stage, can bear. All he can do is make changes within his capabilities.
Although this oasis is not big, it can withstand the training needs of at least thirty monks if it is managed carefully. The land near the lake that is rich in spiritual energy can even be used to open up a lot of spiritual fields and spiritual medicine gardens.
In other words, Zhao Shoushou, who is alone, does not have much desire or need to open up the desert in the short term. His main goal in the next stage is naturally to seriously manage this place, maybe it can be used as a base in the future.
Now that you have successfully advanced to the foundation building stage, even if you are discovered by a passing monk, there should be no problem in keeping an oasis. If you are willing, you may even become a resting point during your journey to the Anzhou and Xianzhou deserts, and collect some low-priced spiritual stones.
In return, I think these monks who occasionally pass by here will have no objection.
Facts have once again proved that strength crushes everything. In front of a foundation-building monk, no monks will have any objections. Of course, monks of the same level who accidentally pass by here will not have to pay spiritual stones.
One of the four elements of practice: Dharma, companions, wealth, and land. In addition to Taoist companions, the companions also refer to some like-minded people, because Zhao Shoushou, who was born as a casual cultivator, is extremely eager to know or communicate with other monks in the foundation-building period.
.
"Senior, please show up to save lives. This junior is a descendant of the Shen family who is responsible for running the trade between Anzhou and Xianzhou. The family will definitely be richly rewarded in the future." A sharp voice suddenly appeared in the early morning of that day.
"The Shen family? Specializes in the unique resource trade between Anzhou and Xianzhou. The family has three foundation-building monks in charge. They are rich and worth making friends with." In fact, what Zhao Shoushou wants to know more is the Qi-refining monks outside.
How on earth did they discover the oasis protected by the first-level high-quality cloud gauze magic array?
Then Zhao Shoushou's spiritual consciousness expanded and he quickly got a general understanding of the scene outside the formation. The monk who was asking for help turned pale, and the empty arms between his sleeves had disappeared without a trace.
On the sand not far away, there are continuous sand dunes rising and disappearing. They are the sand lizards, a unique monster in the desert, but the aura of the leader is very different.
The continuously splashing gravel and powerful aura are enough to prove that it is the aura of a second-level low-grade monster. It is precisely because of the existence of this monster that they are in such a mess.
Of course, this second-order low-grade sand lizard will soon be a powerful enemy he faces. After all, it is related to the competition between the two for spiritual veins.
