Since there were Kaiyuan Realm monks leading the team on the way back to the city, and the team was already large in number, the shadow demons encountered along the way were almost immediately submerged in the light caused by various spells and talismans as soon as they appeared.
Therefore, the team traveled very quickly, crossing a distance of three hundred miles in just four days and arriving at the border between the gray desert and the wild forest.
At this point, the escort mission of the Kaiyuan Realm monks led by the team has been completed.
He didn't waste any more time, and bowed his hands to everyone amidst the compliments. Then he took off in the wind and flew straight towards Qingliang City.
The remaining monks gradually dispersed due to various reasons.
Su Qing's team traveled non-stop and finally returned to Qingliang City on the afternoon of the sixth day.
Since Gao Yuan said from the beginning that he did not want merit points, he received the reward for this mission—five intermediate spiritual stones—before he returned from the Oasis Base Camp.
After entering the city, he declined Xin Lei's invitation to have a dinner party to celebrate his success. After leaving his home address, he said goodbye and left.
…
After eating dry food for more than ten days, Gao Yuan felt a little angry, so he made a pot of vegetable and meat porridge to comfort his stomach.
Taking advantage of the cooking time, he sat directly on the couch aside and opened the system panel:
【Name】: Gao Yuan
【Shouyuan】:21/143
【Realm】: Ninth level of Qi training (perfection)
[Gong Method]: Changchun Gong Qi Training Chapter, Grandmaster
【Skill】:
…
[Analysis]: Twisted Will: 126, parsable
[Deduction]: Source of mutation: 62, can be deduced
Then he opened the 'Deduction' page, and his eyes wandered between the two options of 'Changchun Gong Qi Training Chapter Master Level' and 'Mind-Taking Technique'.
After all, the main mission of this trip to the gray desert was to escort supplies. In Su Qing's words, the route they took was the safest route that countless backpackers had spent a lot of money to find over the years.
Therefore, there were not many shadow demons encountered along the way. Even though there was a group attack by shadow demons this time, and Gao Yuan deliberately snatched people's heads, he only collected 62 sources of mutation in one round trip.
This amount is still far from being able to advance to Changchun Kung, but it is more than enough to advance to the 'Mind-Taking Technique'.
After hesitating for a while, Gao Yuan finally decided to upgrade the telepathy technique first to see the effect.
When I read "A Brief Overview of the Lower Three Realms" before, it only pointed out in general terms that unlike the Qi Training Realm, after monks are promoted to the Kaiyuan Realm, they use incantations, that is, skills that require reciting incantations to cast.
As for the essential difference between conjuration and magic, it was not introduced in the book, so he was very curious.
With a decision in his mind, he directly chose to deduce the 'mind-taking technique'.
After a short delay, a large piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind in the form of memory fragments.
This piece of information contains four parts, namely a very clear road map for the movement of true energy, a mysterious mantra of nearly 200 words, a set of handprints consisting of 46 movements, and a paragraph that connects these three parts into one
The overall explanatory text is nearly 5,000 words long.
Compared with those spell cultivation methods that Gao Yuan obtained before, the cultivation methods obtained through systematic deduction are much more intuitive. Gao Yuan understood this second-level spell almost instantly.
At this time, he finally understood the power of the Kaiyuan Realm monks and the essential difference between them and the Qi Training Realm monks.
Take the Pyroblast Technique as an example. To cast this technique, you first need to mobilize the internal energy to move between specific acupuncture points along a fixed route to change its properties.
At the same time, specific hand movements are used to add more changes to the inner energy, until this ray of inner energy reaches all the prerequisite standards for the use of Pyroblast.
Then, under the guidance of the caster, this special inner energy is released to achieve the purpose of attacking the target.
During the entire process of casting a spell, the power of the spell comes entirely from the internal energy in the caster's body and has no connection with the outside world.
The spell laws of the Kaiyuan Realm are different. Although the casting of the spell requires the use of true essence, the power of the spell is not directly generated by the true essence.
According to the description of this second-level spell that I have newly mastered in my mind, the casting of the spell is divided into three processes.
The first step is to guide a certain amount of true energy, and with the cooperation of corresponding spells and fingerprints, build a legal domain centered on the caster.
Because of the special nature of true energy, Kaiyuan realm monks will passively have a faint connection with the surrounding heaven and earth energy.
The so-called legal domain is a state in which the true energy is used to demarcate a range, so that the connection between the heaven and earth energy within this range and the caster is deepened.
After the construction of the legal domain is completed, the second step is to mobilize a part of the new true essence again, supplemented by the corresponding spells and handprints, so that it can resonate with the vitality of heaven and earth in the legal domain, so that it can be used in a specific way according to the caster's intention.
way to operate.
After the above two steps are completed, the spell casting stage enters. The spell caster can cast the spell as soon as his mind moves!
It can be seen from this that although the spell needs to rely on true energy to cast, its power is reflected by the energy of heaven and earth.
True Yuan only plays a guiding and catalytic role in this process. Therefore, Kaiyuan Realm monks often only need to consume a small amount of True Yuan to display effects that are much more powerful than high-level spells.
Gao Yuan inadvertently recalled his previous two battles with the Kaiyuan Realm, and recalled the invisible fluctuations that quickly passed over him before the spell was released. Is it the so-called legal realm?
…
After satisfying his curiosity, Gao Yuan once again focused his attention on his own cultivation.
He closed his eyes slightly and sat cross-legged on the sofa, quietly feeling the innate essence in his body that was rooted in his Dantian.
After more than ten days of intermittent practice, this innate essence has grown stronger day by day!
Different from the light that flickered like a candle before, it now completely enveloped his Dantian.
At the same time, Gao Yuan could faintly feel that his Dantian was undergoing subtle changes under the wrap of this innate essence.
In the process, his spiritual sense is constantly getting stronger!
It was so strong that he became more and more sensitive to everything around him, and even the smallest movement could be clearly reflected in his mind; even if there was no movement, he could roughly feel the situation behind him without looking back.
What's even more interesting is that just when he was making vegetable and meat porridge, he looked at the chopped vegetable leaves on the stove, and a strange thought suddenly came to his mind.
He felt that he could make this small vegetable leaf move with just his thoughts without even using his hands.
After this idea suddenly appeared, Gao Yuan was a little happy, thinking that he had awakened the power of his spiritual thoughts, and he tried it for a long time with great concentration.
The result is obvious. He tried to be lonely, but it also made him look forward to a breakthrough!
…
Twenty-three days passed by in a blink of an eye.
These days, Gao Yuan basically didn't go out.
During this period, Su Qing and Xin Lei visited him once. It is said that they found a clue about the missing member of their team and decided to suspend the escort mission to investigate.
In fact, for Gao Yuan at this time, his purpose of joining Su Qing's team has been achieved.
The meager income from the escort mission itself was not in his eyes, so he naturally had no objection to suspending the mission.
He just told the other party to pay attention to safety and not to force things when they are in danger.
Apart from that, he was not disturbed in any way.
With a sufficient supply of elixirs, Gao Yuan has been practicing for so many days without any distractions. Gao Yuan has made very rapid progress. At this time, he is already on the verge of the critical point of breakthrough, and there is a possibility of promotion at any time!
·
midnight.
When the last trace of the medicinal power of this Qi-Building Pill was quickly transformed into a wisp of new inner Qi under the operation of the Grandmaster Changchun Kung, it emerged from the Dantian and was instantly swallowed up by the innate essence wrapped nearby.
boom!
As if a certain balance had been broken, the innate essence in Gao Yuan's body suddenly boiled, turning into a ball of flame and violently roasting his Dantian.
Although it cannot be seen with the naked eye, Gao Yuan's powerful spiritual sense allows Gao Yuan to clearly feel that his Dantian is rapidly melting. Under the baking of the innate essence, it is transformed into a mysterious energy that blends into the surrounding innate essence.
, while making the latter grow stronger, it is also accelerating its own dissolution!
After an unknown amount of time, Gao Yuan's body, which was sitting quietly cross-legged, suddenly shook. At the same time, his Dantian had completely disappeared, replaced by a high-speed rotating cyclone!
Countless mysterious energies spewed out from the center of the cyclone, wandering freely in the high meridians, breaking through layers of invisible obstacles, and continued to converge towards his head.
Finally, a point of light condensed in the area between the pineal gland and Baihui point, and from time to time there were waves of mysterious fluctuations, which spread out from the point of light as his mind moved.
Gao Yuan slowly stopped his power and then opened his eyes.
In an instant, countless bright electric lights flashed out from his eyes, turning into two substantial beams of light, which illuminated the dark room because there were no lights, as bright as day, before gradually extinguishing after a while.
Sitting there and quietly comprehending the aftertaste of the breakthrough, a complicated expression appeared on Gao Yuan's face.
There was excitement, emotion, relief and high spirits in it. After a long silence, it finally turned into a whisper like a sigh:
