Chapter 44 Ice Magic
The water jet sprayed up to ten breathing times before falling into the lake again. The entire lake has also become the same as before. If it wasn't for the ripples on the lake surface, Ning Cheng might have thought he was wrong.
At the same time, Ning Cheng clearly felt that the jet of water that spewed out contained a rich aura, which was much more abundant than the surrounding aura.
After Ning Cheng knew that this might be the Da'an Forest, he didn't dare to be reckless, no matter what was at the bottom of the lake, he couldn't touch it with his current cultivation. If his cultivation base was higher, he might go to the bottom of the lake to see the situation, but now he doesn't want to move here.
Backing away from the lake, Ning Cheng found a giant tree with a diameter of nearly fifteen meters, and he planned to temporarily cultivate in the center of this giant tree. There are not many trees with a diameter of more than ten meters on the earth, but they are everywhere here. The tree Ning Cheng found wasn't even the thickest, it was just because he hid in this tree to practice and could directly see the movement in the lake.
Ning Cheng thought that he was going to make a tree nest for himself, but only after he reached the top of the tree did he realize that there was already a huge hole in the heart of the tree. There is a fishy smell in the cave, and I don't know which kind of monster is left behind. Judging from the inside of the tree hole, no monsters should have entered this tree hole for many years.
Ning Cheng cleaned the tree hole, and arranged a concealment formation and a defense formation above the top of the tree. He didn't dare to arrange formations by the lake, his level of formations was really poor, although he could barely understand the second-level formations, but with his level of refining formation flags, he could only arrange some first-level formations at most.
Sitting in the tree hole, Ning Cheng arranged another first-level formation to conceal the aura, and then he was relieved. The arrangement of some formations made Ning Cheng understand that no matter where he is, the more he knows, the more beneficial he is. If he doesn't know how to use formations, he can only do the same as before, completely passively praying that others will not come here.
Now that he has arranged the formation, even if there is a monster attacking him, he will know it before then.
Even though he was sitting in the tree hole, all the changes in the lake were in Ning Cheng's eyes, which allowed him to cultivate with peace of mind, and also to check the changes in the lake at any time.
More than 200 spirit stones were taken out by Ning Cheng, and he planned to raise his cultivation level to the late Qi Gathering stage.
With Ning Cheng's cultivation, he forgot everything again, one by one spirit stones were turned into powder by him, and the spirit energy in the spirit stones combined with the mysterious yellow aura continuously washed over his body. Ning Cheng could even vaguely feel that while his cultivation was improving, his spiritual root aptitude was also improving.
Even with spiritual energy replenishment, Ning Cheng still needs to eat something from time to time. He has not been able to cultivate to the point where he can fast the valley only by relying on spiritual energy.
Time passed day by day, when the zhenqi in his body gathered to a certain level again, a slight sound resounded in his body, and then the powerful zhenqi rushed through the meridians of his whole body. Some impurities in his body were removed from his skin, and the powerful true aura let Ning Cheng know that he had advanced to the fifth level of Qi Gathering.
Ning Cheng let out a breath, opened his eyes only to find that all the spirit stones he took out had been used up.
"It's amazing." Ning Cheng murmured to himself, from the fourth level of Qi Gathering to the fifth level of Qi Gathering, more than 200 spirit stones were used, or only with his lowest aptitude could this happen.
Not only that, but it took him a month to advance from the fourth level of Qi Gathering to the fifth level of Qi Gathering this time. If this continues, the remaining spirit stones will definitely not be able to support him to cultivate to the seventh level of Qi Gathering.
Ning Cheng took out the two spell jade slips that Fang Yijian gave him, he had advanced from the fourth level of Qi Gathering to the fifth level of Qi Gathering, and his spiritual sense had more than doubled again, so he must be able to see the contents of the jade slips.
He doesn't have many spirit stones, so he might as well study spells.
This time Ning Cheng's divine sense did not disappoint him. His divine sense scanned the first spell jade slip, and he clearly saw the content of the jade slip, thirty-six spears of Xuanbing.
After understanding the contents of the jade slips, Ning Cheng was about to yell at him, Fang Yijian, that bastard, knew that he only had a flying sword, but he got him a copy of spear formulas. Although it is a book of profound-level exercises, what use is it to him? He can't even think of getting a gun-type magic weapon, let alone this gun execution is not suitable for his spiritual root.
I finally got advanced spells, but I couldn't practice them. Even though Ning Cheng was very depressed, he still took a look at the Xuanbing Thirty-Six Spears.
It's okay if he doesn't look at it, but the more he looks at it, the more depressed he becomes. The thirty-six spears of Xuanbing can be cultivated to the end, and they can form thirty-six spear lights of Xuanbing. These thirty-six spears can form a net of Xuanbing spears, or a formation of Xuanbing spears. Under the cover of these thirty-six guns, how can ordinary opponents have a chance to escape? This is a big killer.
The thing is good, but he can't cultivate, Ning Cheng sighed and threw this jade slip aside, and took out another spell jade slip. The few words on this magic spell jade slip made Ning Cheng even more angry, Qi Yao Ice Needle. This is also a mysterious level spell, but it is also an ice spell.
Ning Cheng knows his branch spirit roots, he has three branches of branch spirit roots, fire, wood, and earth. Ning Cheng now has a certain understanding of spiritual roots. Ice-type spiritual roots belong to different spiritual roots, and monks with this kind of spiritual roots are all cultivated with emphasis.
Only ice root and water spirit root cultivators can practice ice spirit root skills to have the greatest effect. For the rest of the monks with spiritual roots, the effect will be greatly reduced.
The Seven Luminaries Ice Needle is even more sinister, but it needs an ice needle magic weapon smaller than a cow's hair. If it is practiced to the extreme, this ice needle magic weapon can evade divine consciousness. This kind of thing sneak attacking others is simply impossible to guard against.
"What a vicious spell, but I like it." After Ning Cheng finished talking to himself, he felt even more depressed. What's the use of liking? Don't say that he is not an ice spirit root, even if he is an ice spirit root and can practice Qiyao ice needle, he does not have an ice needle magic weapon.
Ning Cheng rubbed his head in distress, he knew that he could release his divine sense by gathering Qi and cultivating his level, which was already very remarkable, but no matter how great he was, without his own spells, compared to others, it was still far behind.
The spells he has mastered now, besides the wind blade, are fireballs. These are basic spells that have nothing to do with spiritual roots, and anyone can practice them. In addition to that, it is the Fire Blade Technique derived from him. As for his more powerful sword light, it can only be slashed because of the flying sword. If he meets an opponent who also has a magic weapon, his sword light is not worth mentioning.
Ning Cheng put away the spell jade slip with some disappointment, and came out of the tree hole. He had practiced in the tree hole for a month, and he was already panicking from boredom.
Standing by the lake again, Ning Cheng was about to use a few clean water tricks to wash himself again, when he suddenly saw a water column several feet high rushing out of the center of the lake again, this time the water column was exactly the same as the one he saw a month ago, still With a strong aura. The only difference is that the water column seems to be higher.
After ten breaths, the water column fell again, and the center of the lake once again regained its calm.
Ning Cheng did some calculations, and he quickly discovered that the time between the last time the water column appeared and today's water column was exactly one month.
With such regular streams of water and rich spiritual energy, Ning Cheng really wanted to go into the center of the lake to have a look, but when he thought that he didn't have a spell that he could use, he felt a little discouraged.
Xuanbing Thirty-Six Spears and Qiyao Ice Needle sounded very majestic, but how did he learn it?
Can't use a sword without a gun? This jade slip has thirty-six spears of Xuanbing, and he has cultivated thirty-six swords of Xuanbing himself. Although his spiritual root doesn't have ice spiritual root, but he has Xuanhuang Pearl, who said that he can't cultivate? Thinking of this, Ning Cheng became excited again, he directly took out the flying sword, and practiced sword without a gun. Maybe after he finishes practicing the Xuanbing Thirty-Six Spears, this spell will be renamed the Xuanbing Thirty-Six Swords.
Ning Cheng's comprehension and memory are unmatched by anyone, what he worries about is whether his spiritual root can cultivate Xuanbing Thirty-Six Spears.
When he sacrificed the flying sword and began to practice the spell of Xuanbing Thirty-Six Spears, he immediately knew that he had overthought. Under the magic formula of Xuanbing Thirty-Six Spears, the true energy flowing everywhere turned into Xuanbing true energy without any delay, and these Xuanbing true energy and external divine thoughts were also without any delay Combined, it turned his flying sword into a strange sword light.
The only thing he needs to worry about is not that his spiritual root is not ice spiritual root, but how long can his divine sense support him to control the Xuanbing sword glow?
With a "snap", Ning Cheng's flying sword fell to the ground due to lack of divine sense. Instead of being surprised, Ning Cheng was overjoyed, he laughed and said, "I really have extraordinary aptitude, and I can even master ice spells so easily..."
Although he was very excited and he was praising himself, Ning Cheng knew that his ability to practice Xuanbing Thirty-Six Spears had nothing to do with his aptitude, it must have something to do with Xuanhuangzhu. He even suspected that with the help of Xuanhuang Yuanyuan, he had another ice root, but he didn't test it, he was not sure. Only when he has a chance in the future, he will go to test the magic weapon to see if there is really an extra ice-type branch spirit root.
With the opportunity to practice spells, Ning Cheng took the trouble to control the Feijian, casting the Xuanbing Thirty-Six Spears that he modified over and over again. At first, he could only use one sword light, but the thirty-six Xuanbing guns were constantly revised in his mind. After three days, he could already use three Xuanbing sword lights.
Five days later, Ning Cheng was able to cast five mysterious ice sword glows. But Ning Cheng also knew that with his current cultivation base, the five mysterious ice sword glows were his limit. If his flying sword didn't shoot out, he could still cast two more sword glows. But the flying sword does not shoot out, and the power of the sword light displayed is limited. From this we can see that divine sense is a good thing.
Being able to practice the Thirty-Six Spears of Xuanbing, Ning Cheng would certainly not let go of the Qiyao Ice Needle. He didn't have a fine needle instrument, so he could only use a flying sword instead. Even if the flying sword is used instead of the flying needle, Ning Cheng is constantly revising the Qiyao ice needle spell. On the tenth day, Ning Cheng was able to skillfully control the flying sword to attack. It's just that the flying sword is too big, so it can't play the role of sneak attack at all.
