As the setting sun gradually fades into the horizon, the entire wild forest is gradually shrouded in darkness.
In the center of the underground cave.
In a one-foot-square fire pit surrounded by a circle of stones, the rolling tongues of fire continuously licked a strip of meat placed on it, dissipating heat and illuminating the area around the fire pit in a small area.
Gao Yuan sat cross-legged on a smooth round boulder beside the fire pit, playing with a purple-red crystal the size of a walnut with a somewhat rough surface in his hand.
This purple-red crystal with a somewhat turbid interior is the demon core that was formed shortly after the wild boar demon was transformed.
Gao Yuan stared at the flames that were constantly jumping in the fire pit, turning over the wild boar legs roasted on it from time to time, waiting for them to be roasted until they were ready to eat, and at the same time, he was relieving his tired body.
Although Gao Yuan did not have high requirements for his new residence, he still worked hard for a whole afternoon for this simple place to stay.
During this period, it took him more than an hour just to dismember and move the body of the wild boar demon.
The body of the wild boar demon was so huge that it was very eye-catching when left at the entrance of the cave.
Not only will it easily attract other monsters, but it will also attract the attention of other casual cultivators.
Therefore, Gao Yuan only left the four legs of the wild boar demon as food for the next few days.
As for most of the remaining bodies of the wild boar demon, Gao Yuan moved them to a depression far away from the cave, and found vines and other objects to bury them.
Next, Gao Yuan searched nearby for more than an hour before he found a three-foot-square boulder with a relatively flat and smooth surface.
Even with the cooperation of the light body talisman, Gao Yuan spent a lot of effort to drag and drag the huge stone back to the underground cave to use it as a workbench for Gao Yuan when drawing the talisman and a place for meditation.
As the lair of a wild boar demon, the smell in the cave is naturally very pungent and unpleasant.
Even though Gao Yuan had dug nearly three feet into the ground and moved all the filthy objects that were suspected to be the source of the odor to the outside of the cave, there was still a stinking smell lingering in the entire cave.
Affected by this, Gao Yuan's appetite declined greatly. After the wild boar was roasted, he had no appetite. He picked it up and took a few hasty bites before throwing it aside.
After solving his stomach problem, Gao Yuan stopped delaying and started preparing to make the talismans.
He opened the package he had put aside and took out two packets of talisman paper and cinnabar. He also took out three bottles of Qi-nourishing pills from the cloth bag containing the pills packed in the pill shop today.
Then he placed these things one by one on the boulder that served as a workbench according to his own habits.
Gao Yuanping suppressed his breathing, tried hard to eliminate the interference of the smell in the cave, and guided himself into a stable state of mind suitable for making talismans.
Despite a hard day's work, Gao Yuan still had a lot of things to do, the most important of which was drawing more than a hundred cold-warming talismans.
This is a deal between him and Fatty Zheng, and it is also related to his subsequent acquisition of various books. No carelessness is allowed!
…
On the round boulder in the underground cave.
Gao Yuan closed his eyes slightly and sat cross-legged.
After a brief pause, a large amount of inner energy continued to gather near the center of his eyebrows under Gao Yuan's control.
Then, Gao Yuan somewhat unfamiliarly guided the gathered inner energy to continuously compress itself in a strange way, and then slowly move between the eyebrows in a mysterious way.
After a while, Gao Yuan felt a faint swelling and tingling sensation in his eyebrows. At the same time, his originally closed eyes slowly opened.
His pupils were slightly dilated, and the whites of his eyes were covered with fine gray-white strange lines.
As Gao Yuan's eyeballs changed, everything he saw in his field of vision also changed greatly.
As far as the eye can see, the colors of all the items are much stronger than before, the red ones are getting redder, and the white ones are dazzling.
At the same time, Gao Yuan also discovered the surface of the cave wall hidden in the darkness, from which wisps of smoky blood-colored aura continued to escape.
Although he was still a little unsure, Gao Yuan vaguely felt that the blood-colored aura that was constantly evaporating like smoke should be the demonic aura escaping from the wild boar monster he killed the day before yesterday. Over time, it was trapped in the cave.
The surrounding walls absorbed part of it!
The technique he is currently using is a new technique that he spent the past two days barely mastering - Qi Watching Technique!
It was one of the three spells recorded in the "Collection of Practical Techniques During the Qi Training Period" that Gao Yuan collected in the basement of his shed after he killed Ma Wuji!
Of the three techniques recorded in the "Collection of Practical Techniques for the Qi Training Period", apart from the high-level technique Gao Yuan cannot practice yet, the Qi Watching Technique and the Breath Condensation Technique are all based on Gao Yuan's current internal energy level.
It can be practiced.
After exiting the qi-gazing state, Gao Yuan opened the panel and took a look, and saw that there was indeed an entry for qi-gazing in the spell column:
【Name】: Gao Yuan
【Shouyuan】:20/83
[Realm]: Third level of Qi training
[Gong method]: Changchun Gong Qi training chapter, mastery (2%)
【Skill】:
Technique: Lingxi Finger Strength, Grandmaster
Aura, Beginner (1%)
Talisman: Meditation Talisman, Beginner (90%)
Apotropaic Talisman, Mastery (3%)
Dust Amulet, Proficiency (3%)
Warming Talisman, proficiency (35%)
Light Talisman, Proficiency (10%)
Healing Talisman, Proficiency (5%)
Amulet, Master (40%)
[Analysis]: Twisted Will: 219, parsable
Gao Yuan sensed it for a moment, and with just such a little effort, nearly 40% of his inner energy had been consumed!
It is indeed a mid-level Qi training technique, and the internal Qi consumption is indeed much higher than the basic Lingxi Finger Power!
But Gao Yuan felt it was very worthwhile.
According to the records in "Collection of Practical Techniques during the Qi Training Period", after activating the Qi Watching Technique, the user's eyes can observe various auras in a certain area around them, including but not limited to the demonic aura emitted by monsters, various auras, etc.
The blood of animals and the dark energy emitted by various evil things.
Although the Qi Watching Technique cannot directly improve Gao Yuan's actual combat ability, it can help him discover some potential crises in advance. It is indeed a very practical technique.
It happened that he had accumulated a lot of twisted will in the past two days while hunting monsters. Gao Yuan did not delay and directly used twisted will to start analyzing.
[The analysis of Qi-Wang Technique is successful, your proficiency in Qi-Wang Technique has been raised to proficiency level!]
[The analysis of the Qi-Wang Technique is successful, and your proficiency in the Qi-Wang Technique has been raised to the proficiency level!]
Two consecutive analyzes consumed 30 points of twisted will, and then a large amount of memories poured into Gao Yuan's mind. Soon Gao Yuan's mastery of the Qi-Watching Technique improved a lot.
With a thought, Gao Yuan guided the inner energy to move quickly according to the route of the Qi Watching Technique, as if he had practiced it countless times, and there was no sense of jerkiness anymore.
After a slight pause, a familiar swelling and tingling sensation came from the center of his eyebrows, and Gao Yuan once again activated the Qi-gazing state.
On the surface of his eyeballs, the strange gray-white lines are getting denser and denser, and there is even a faint fluorescent flow on the surface of these lines!
At the same time, the world in Gao Yuan's eyes became clearer than last time.
Gao Yuan once again sensed the consumption of internal energy. Although the release speed and effect of the Qi Watching Technique were significantly improved, the consumption of internal energy decreased slightly.
Gao Yuan experienced it carefully for a while, and it was not until he felt that his inner energy was a little unsustainable that he quit the Qi-gaining state. After swallowing two Qi-nourishing pills, he began to meditate and adjust his breath until his inner energy was filled again.
Gao Yuan then turned his attention to another technique he could practice - the breath gathering technique.
