After the small gathering ended in a hurry, Xu Yuxiu, Shen Fengjiao, and Li Xiaolian left together for Qingzhu Peak.
When they reached a fork in the road, Li Xiaolian separated from the two of them.
After returning to the small courtyard where she lived again, Shen Fengjiao only said: "I haven't finished my practice today, so I went back to my house to practice."
Then she went straight back to her cabin.
Watching the door of Shen Fengjiao's room close, it didn't take long for spiritual energy to fluctuate in the room.
Xu Yuxiu knew that today's experience had a great impact on Shen Fengjiao and the others.
However, through today's experience, Xu Yuxiu also understood his own shortcomings.
Pinxiu thought that he was no match for that young man. His hasty escape was just that he mistook himself for a talented inner disciple. Not every time he was so lucky.
Although luck is also a part of strength, there are too many unpredictable situations and you cannot just rely on luck.
In terms of cultivation, she felt that the young man was at least two or three levels stronger than her. In addition to cultivation, the comparison of strength among the monks also included spells.
Cultivation alone is just equivalent to brute force. Although it can play some role, the effect is far less than the improvement brought by magic.
Having understood this point, Xu Yuxiu should no longer focus on improving his cultivation level. His skills must also match his cultivation level.
Taking advantage of the fact that it's just after noon, there's still time.
Xu Yuxiu did not go back to her room to practice, but turned around and walked out of the small courtyard, heading towards the outer door of the Sutra-Tiding Pavilion.
The Sutra-Depository Pavilion is divided into an inner door and an outer door. The inner-door Sutra-Depository Pavilion is a place specifically for inner sect disciples to select techniques and consult classics. The contents in them are much rarer than those in the outer door.
As for the above, it is related to the sect's important inheritance area, which is only within the seven main peaks.
It is said that only those who are true disciples are qualified to dabble in it. Disciples of the inner and outer sects do not even have to think about it. These are clearly recorded in the sect's rules.
Although the Outer Scripture Collection Pavilion is not as rich as the Inner Scripture Collection Pavilion, it cannot help but have a hundred thousand outer disciples. Therefore, many outer disciples come in and out of the Outer Scripture Collection Pavilion every day.
Xu Yuxiu had just arrived in front of the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion, and all he saw were outer disciples coming and going.
She only glanced at it for a few times before walking into the Scripture-Depository Pavilion.
Although the outside of the Sutra Pavilion seems a bit noisy, once inside, it becomes quiet.
No one is making any noise here, everyone is selecting the books or jade slips they need in an orderly manner.
Most of the books are ancient books. Jade slips gradually became popular after the ancient war between immortals and demons. Most jade slips are used to record exercises and spells. Jade slips are rarely used to record trivial secrets, because it is too complicated. Too wasteful.
Carving jade slips not only consumes spiritual energy, but also consumes spiritual consciousness, so jade slips are much more convenient to use than books.
The Sutra Pavilion is very large and has guide signs.
After Xu Yuxiu identified the location of the spell mark, he walked straight to the area where the spell was placed.
The spell area is all filled with jade slips, but there are still wooden signs beside the jade slips to introduce the spells recorded in the jade slips.
Xu Yuxiu raised his eyes and glanced at the nearest wooden signs, and saw the words written on them: Yanyang Technique, Wind and Fire Killing, Cold Spring Breaking... etc.
They were all advanced combination spells. She knew that these spells were not suitable for her current practice.
At the second level of Qi Refining, there are not many techniques that can be practiced.
Xu Yuxiu searched around and finally stopped in front of some basic spells.
Indeed, with her current level of cultivation at the second level of qi training and the fact that she has never practiced magic before, it is most appropriate to choose basic magic to practice.
Although the basic spells are basic, there are many types.
Among them, there are five basic spells of the five elements alone, namely: golden light spell, water flow spell, wood spirit spell, flame spell, and earth dust spell.
In addition, there are some basic spells exclusive to mutant spiritual roots, such as: wind whirl, lightning, ice condensation, etc.
Xu Yuxiu knew the attributes of his spiritual roots, so he directly chose the fire technique and water flow technique among the five elements.
Picking up the jade slips recording these two techniques, she went directly to the registration office in the Sutra Pavilion to register.
There was a recliner behind the counter of the registration office. On the recliner, an old man with a kind face was lying there with half-closed eyes.
Xu Yuxiu glanced at the old man and felt that there was an abyss-like aura about him, which made it impossible for her to see through the kind-faced old man.
She was suddenly startled, realizing that this old man with a kind-looking face definitely had terrifying cultivation abilities, and quickly withdrew her glance.
"I met the elder and I want to exchange for these two techniques."
Xu Yuxiu bowed respectfully to the old man in front of the counter and said.
The old man opened his eyes, glanced at the jade slip held in Xu Yuxiu's hand, and said, "The basic technique consists of two spiritual stones."
After saying that, he half-closed his eyes again, lay back on the recliner, and stopped looking at Xu Yuxiu.
Xu Yuxiu did not hesitate, took out two spiritual stones from the storage bag and placed them on the counter. After bowing respectfully, she walked out of the Scripture Collection Pavilion.
After choosing the basic technique, Xu Yuxiu did not go back to the small courtyard. Instead, he found a deserted place on Qingzhu Peak and started practicing the technique.
She first used her spiritual consciousness to record the spell cultivation methods in the two jade slips, and then began to figure it out.
After about a quarter of an hour, she had almost understood the practice of flame magic, so she began to release the flame magic for the first time.
The release of the flame technique is very simple. It is nothing more than mobilizing the spiritual power in the Dantian according to the instructions of the technique, converting the spiritual power into flame and releasing it. It is as simple as that.
Most of the other basic spells are similar.
Xu Yuxiu stood still on the spot, concentrating and holding her breath as she began to mobilize the spiritual power in her dantian.
However, when she was mobilizing the spiritual power in her Dantian, it was because of the natural violence in her Dantian that it became very difficult to mobilize the spiritual power.
Often, as soon as she mobilized a ray of spiritual power, the violent violence in her dantian suppressed her spiritual power. As a result, she tried several times in a row but failed to mobilize a ray of spiritual power out of her dantian.
This undoubtedly gave her a heavy blow.
Fortunately, her temperament has changed greatly from when she first started. This blow did not make her discouraged. Instead, it made her calm down and no longer blindly try to mobilize spiritual power.
After a short pause, Xu Yuxiu began to recall the feelings he had when he mobilized his spiritual power several times before.
"Fury, disorder, and..."
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "There seem to be gaps in the violent chaos. If we use spiritual power along those gaps, can we mobilize it?"
Do whatever comes to your mind.
So, she started a new round of attempts.
This time she sat cross-legged on the ground, closed her eyes and concentrated, sinking all her mind into her Dantian to observe the situation inside her Dantian.
After about a quarter of an hour, she felt that she was almost ready, and then began to mobilize her spiritual power again.
This time, she did not think about mobilizing the spiritual power in her Dantian like before. Instead, she turned her spiritual power into a strand of thread, slowly used her consciousness to pull the spiritual power, and moved it out of her Dantian along the gap she had discovered.
This process is very long, requiring not only calmness and patience, but also extremely consuming spiritual energy.
It only lasted for a moment, and Xu Yuxiu felt sweat start to form on his forehead.
Finally, after spending about an hour or so, she opened her eyes silently, and a cluster of flames ignited at her fingertips when she raised her hand.
Seeing the flames ignited at her fingertips, Xu Yuxiu finally showed a smile on her face. But just when she relaxed a little, the flames went out with a "pop".
"I finally succeeded once, but the spell took too long to release!"
Xu Yuxiu understands his own problem.
In magic battles among monks, the release of magic is often completed in an instant.
And if you want to release the flame technique instantly, you still need a lot of practice to master your own spiritual power mobilization method.
But fortunately, after this first time, practicing again will not be as difficult as it was at the beginning.
So, she began to practice spiritual power mobilization.
Time passed in a hurry as she practiced mobilizing her spiritual power.
When Xu Yuxiu released a cluster of flames the size of a thumb again, he finally exhausted the spiritual power in his dantian.
Although her spiritual power was exhausted in practicing the spell, she gained more.
From the beginning, it took about an hour to mobilize spiritual power, but now it only takes half an hour to complete. This is undoubtedly a huge improvement.
"That's it for today's practice of the technique."
After taking a long breath, Xu Yuxiu stood up and walked towards his residence.
Although the day's practice did not consume much physical energy, the fatigue from concentrating for a long time was greater than the physical consumption. After she recovered her spiritual power through meditation, she fell asleep directly.
