When it comes to safety, Jiang Chen doesn't dare to be careless.
He specially conducted several small experiments to ensure that this woman's sword energy field was effective.
He couldn't even commit suicide. The tip of the sword touched the skin of his lower abdomen and was instantly deflected by the sword energy.
Even though he didn't really want to commit suicide.
"Don't seek death or make me have to draw a circle all over again."
Li Lingzhou impatiently waved his sword and made another circle.
"How many spirit stones do you have on your body now?"
"Five hundred and twenty-eight spiritual stones and five healing pills."
"The trial tests endurance, patience and hunting. Don't touch the five hundred spirit stones. Don't miss one when I come to see you."
"good."
Jiang Chen's attention was entirely on her sword energy field.
Careful observation reveals that the sword energy field will only show traces of sword energy when it is initially deployed and functioning.
Normally, even if Jiang Chen was very close and had extremely keen sense of the Five Elements, he could not find any trace of the sword energy.
Jiang Chen was secretly surprised.
In the blink of an eye, Li Lingzhou disappeared into the vast desert, leaving only a faint scent of wine.
The trial has officially begun.
There is nothing to eat or drink in the Flame Mountain, the spiritual energy is exhausted, and the heat wave is so intense that it is even impossible to sit or lie down to rest. Ordinary people cannot last for an hour.
Cultivators can conserve spiritual power and physical strength by consuming spiritual stones and elixirs, but the consumption is also huge.
Right now, excluding the five hundred spirit stones given by Li Lingzhou, Jiang Chen only has twenty-eight spirit stones and five quick-effect healing pills.
Even if he just meditates in midair and does nothing during the whole journey, he can only last for seven or eight days at most.
Going out hunting for sandworms is risky.
We can only try our best to attract sandworms to attack him.
These days, while using the Book of Half-Immortals, Jiang Chen's cultivation has continued to skyrocket, and at the same time, Jiang Chen's physique has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
For sandworms, it must be particularly delicious.
He took off his shirt and decided to start exercising.
His physique was in place, but his skills were not yet fully leveled, so he took this opportunity to practice.
[Skill] Eight-step Crazy Sword: Small success.
The meaning of the Eight-Step Crazy Sword is to use violent power and momentum, dexterous and fast body skills to kill the enemy within eight steps, and achieve a quick victory.
Not only is it powerful and fast, it also requires very superb skills, which is considered a top-notch skill among mortals.
Jiang Chen practiced hard in the mortal world for a year, and then went to the Qinglan Sect to train hard for two years, but he only achieved a small amount of success.
He concealed his breath, then took off his clothes, revealing his muscular figure. Under the scorching flames, it was shiny and exuded the delicious taste of roasted hormones and proteins.
Having sold the mortal sword, he wielded the spiritual sword and used his mortal power to continuously use the eight-step mad sword.
Huh, huh...
Whoosh, whoosh...
Brush, brush...
As his physique improved, Jiang Chen could easily perform body movements and sword movements that he originally found difficult.
[Your eight-step mad sword has been upgraded to: superb skill!]
After half a day, Jiang Chen was sweating like rain.
He thinks that he is very delicious, holding a spiritual sword in a mortal body, and he is innocent of the crime of harboring the jade. How can these sandworms be so polite?
If you guys don't come to eat me, my Eight-Step Crazy Sword will reach its peak!
The desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, and the sun is setting over the long river.
One day passed like this.
At night.
The temperature changes suddenly, from the oven temperature of 40 to 50 degrees during the day, to the refrigerator state close to subzero step by step.
Jiang Chen put on his clothes. In order to attract the sandworms, he buried half of his body in the sand to keep out the cold without using his spiritual power.
Soon, he noticed it.
A sandworm in the Qi Refining Realm was slowly approaching.
He pretended to be asleep, breathing evenly and snoring pleasantly.
Sudden!
The sandworm sank deep into the ground, then turned around and rushed up, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed Jiang Chen snoring in one gulp.
Jiang Chen had already prepared and directly used his Qi refining spiritual power to suppress the sandworms with the earth elemental spirit.
Then he used an eight-step mad sword move to disembowel the sandworm, and directly took the insect elixir, all in one go.
[Your eight-step mad sword has been upgraded to: perfect! 】
The body of the sandworm in the Qi Refining Realm is more than ten feet long. The huge body is mainly made of sand solidified by mucus, which has little nutrition. There are earthy-yellow blood vessels in the body, which also have spiritual veins, which can replenish water and soul.
A Qi Refining Realm Sandworm Pill has about the same spiritual power as a spiritual stone. It looks like a pebble as big as a fist and needs to be cut open forcefully to suck the delicious food inside.
For Jiang Chen, the sense of accomplishment in hunting is even more delicious.
In recent years, he has lived too low-key and too hard.
In the next few days, Jiang Chen relied on this mortal-style fishing method to enforce the law and killed dozens of sandworms in the Qi Refining Realm.
Chongdan plus worm veins are basically enough to last a month.
Sand monsters that are at the foundation level or more powerful generally look down on his humble skills, which shows that this tactic is sustainable.
Five days later.
[Your eight-step mad sword has been upgraded to: the pinnacle!]
Finally, he had a skill that reached the pinnacle. Even though it was just a mortal skill, Jiang Chen was also very excited.
His physical skills also improved along with the Eight-Step Crazy Sword.
[Your basic physical skills are synchronized to: reaching the pinnacle!]
Jiang Chen suddenly felt more comfortable than ever before. Standing on the top of the sand mountain, looking up to the sky, his body, mind, and soul were all integrated.
This is a symbol of mortal strength, speed, and skill reaching their peak at the same time.
You must know that physical skills are easy to learn but difficult to master. For cultivators, even if they are proficient in physical skills, it will be difficult to make up for the difference in combat power caused by the gap in cultivation.
The cost-effectiveness of body training for cultivators is not high. If you have the time, it would be better to upgrade to one more level.
Therefore, most cultivators will determine their level of physical training before practicing Qi. The speed and strength bonus brought by cultivation are enough to make up for their skills.
But just because most cultivators don't pay attention to physical skills, if you are particularly proficient in physical skills, when the battle is intense, you may be able to win with an unexpected blow.
【Skill】
Basic physical skills: reaching the pinnacle.
Eight Steps of Crazy Sword: Reaching the Peak.
Basic spirit control: superb skills.
The Book of Half Immortals: A First Look at the Path.
Jiang Chen tried it, using the Book of Half-Immortal to absorb the spiritual power of the sandworm in the abyss condensed in the air sea.
The result... failed!
He can only rely on the ordinary Qi sea endowed with the five elements to directly absorb these unrefined beast spirits. The efficiency is low, and it is almost impossible to improve his cultivation in this way.
Of course, even if he didn't cultivate the Book of Half-Immortals, it would be almost impossible to refine Qi with his talent, so it's no wonder why he cultivated the Book of Half-Immortals.
The Book of Half Immortals can only absorb the power of humans, demons and demons. In other words, it must be related to humans in order to improve its cultivation.
Maybe, he can absorb the sword energy left by Li Lingzhou.
But it is for life-saving purposes, he will not seek death.
At the moment, he is unable to practice the Book of Half-Immortals.
As a result, in the skill column, there is only basic spirit control left that can be practiced.
While he was still idle, Jiang Chen planned to improve his basic imperial spirit by one or two realms.
The first project he tried to practice was to completely hide his aura under the sand and pretend that he was a lump of sand.
This not only requires the ultimate control of breath and spiritual pressure, but also requires a certain level of mental attributes to completely treat oneself as sand and integrate with the surrounding environment.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen is talented in all three areas.
He has full-level physical skills to control the breath, and the Five Elements Yuling to control the spiritual pressure. His character is even more able to endure loneliness.
Back then, at Qinglan Sect's Nianshi Peak, in order to refine his Qi, he experienced the three realms of seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as not a mountain, and seeing a mountain as a mountain. He almost became a Buddha on the spot. Unfortunately, his bones were too weak and his body could not keep up.
As a result, I have been unable to practice Qi.
Right now, Jiang Chen went underground to hide his aura.
During the day, you need to consume spiritual power to resist the sand roasting.
At night, spiritual energy needs to be expended to resist the severe cold.
This makes it more difficult to conceal the aura.
Jiang Chen practiced for five days before he was able to completely hide his aura, and the surrounding sandworms and sand monsters could no longer see him.
With the hidden aura as a foundation, Jiang Chen tried to practice the second project, escaping quickly underground.
After several attempts, Jiang Chen discovered that his ability to escape through the sand with his excellent earth-type spirit master was still not as fast as the sandworms in the Qi-refining realm.
So he used the principles of bionics and used earth spiritual power to create a sandworm in the Qi Refining Realm, wrapped himself up, and then escaped in the body of a sandworm.
Much faster!
Five more days passed.
[Your basic imperial spirit has been upgraded to: perfect! 】
Jiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief, feeling satisfied.
He calculated the time and found that half a month had passed.
The main storyline hasn’t come yet!
Fortunately, his basic physical skills and eight-step mad sword skills have all been cultivated to the full level, and his basic spiritual control has also been improved to a level of proficiency.
Taming the spirit, similar to physical skills, is also a basic method that is easy to learn but difficult to master. Jiang Chen feels that if he wants to reach the peak of the spirit Taming, he must at least learn the hidden highest-level spirit-taming method——
Everything resonates.
Thinking like this, Jiang Chen subconsciously opened the jade slip given to him by Chen Gongxing.
The consciousness turned to the last page.
The resonance of all things has been unlocked, and the full text of the mental method is clearly presented in front of Jiang Chen!
