After notifying the clan that he was going out again, Li Qiao made some preparations and left directly from the clan.
Except for the first time you go out, you need to talk to the clan leader in person. After that, you don't need to talk to the clan leader who takes turns recording the monks' outings.
After leaving the clan, Li Qiao began to actually use the magic to control Qi for the first time.
When he exploded with all his strength, he was as fast as an arrow shot at high speed. It was very fast, but after only moving a few hundred feet, Li Qiao slowed down and exploded with all his strength. The speed was fast, but it also consumed a lot of spiritual energy. Suitable for long trips.
If you maintain this speed, the spiritual energy in your body will be exhausted within a distance of less than fifteen miles.
Fortunately, this divine air control can reduce the speed and reduce the consumption of spiritual energy. If you don't care about speed, you can only rely on divine consciousness to assist running without consuming spiritual energy at all.
After some adjustments, Li Qiao kept moving forward at a speed that was about three or four times faster than normal running speed.
After leaving a certain distance, he began to check the scope of his spiritual consciousness again.
Within the tribe, I tried to do this several times, but I encountered the spiritual consciousness of fellow monks halfway, and then gave up temporarily. At this moment, it can be said that the sky is high and the birds can fly.
"The distance between this spiritual consciousness is about eighty feet! If you only look in one direction, the distance can be further."
After checking, Li Qiao came to this conclusion.
After that, he resisted trying to control the flying sword and planned to try it when he was further away from his clan. It was not because he was worried about being discovered, but because he didn't want to be embarrassed.
He has flying swords and spiritual consciousness. Although he knows that monks in the qi training period can only fly with swords in the later stages of qi training, there is no point in trying it first. In the stone chamber of the tribe, Li Qiao once stepped on the ground. He tried it on the flying sword. The flying sword could barely bear his weight, but it was very strenuous. After several attempts, he could only hold on for a dozen breaths at most.
The stone room is small, making it inconvenient to fly with a sword. The sky is high and the sky is wide, so I have to try it no matter what.
After running for a long distance, Li Qiao first used his pupil technique to look up the mountain to check the situation in the sky in the distance. After confirming that no family monks were nearby, he took out the flying sword from his storage bag and started to try.
The reason why he wanted to hide from the family monk was because he was worried that he would fall easily if the flying sword moved.
However, when Li Qiao actually stood on the flying sword and slowly rose to a height of about ten feet above the ground, as the flying sword gradually accelerated forward, he stood very steadily, and he had always been able to control various sword movements. Practice, at this moment, comes into play.
Standing on the flying sword, the feeling is different. It is at this moment that I feel most like an immortal cultivator.
Although he felt fine and wanted to fly high, Li Qiao controlled himself and did not continue to fly high. Instead, he kept a safe distance from the ground. But just like when practicing in the stone chamber, After only a dozen breaths at most, I couldn't hold on any longer, so I returned to the ground and ran normally.
But we are still on the road, and now my mood is a little different. It seems that the joy I have lost for several years has returned at this moment.
Flying with a sword is not far away from Li Qiao.
As you improve your Qi training, your body will become lighter and lighter. As you improve your Qi training, your spiritual consciousness will become stronger and stronger. Flying with a sword mainly relies on your spiritual consciousness. Normally speaking, after reaching the seventh level of Qi training, you can basically fly with a sword over short distances. Now that you have reached the fourth level of Qi training, you are still three levels short of cultivation.
In fact, Li Qiao felt that if he improved further, he wouldn't need to reach the seventh level of Qi training. In addition to improving one's cultivation, changing to a flying sword of better quality can also make it easier to fly with the sword, but this method is not within Li Qiao's consideration.
Although flying with a sword feels good, after trying it once, I did not continue to try. Under normal circumstances, it is okay to consume some spiritual consciousness, and you can recover quickly, but if you use your spiritual consciousness to do something beyond the limit, it is easy to overdraw. , too much overdraft will cause damage.
After that, he went on his way as usual. On the third day after leaving the clan, he had not yet left the family's sphere of influence, but his consciousness had completely returned to normal. Li Qiao wanted to practice controlling the flying sword again.
Although there is practice within the family, they are only practiced in the stone room. The space is limited and the space for performance is too small.
In fact, when he was in the clan, it was okay to go to the stone outdoor to practice, but Li Qiao didn't like to be paid attention to by too many family monks. His speed cultivation itself made him a little rejected.
The range of spiritual consciousness is eighty feet, and the flying sword can be controlled easily. Beyond this distance, the flying sword can also be controlled. However, as the distance increases, the difficulty of controlling the flying sword also increases, until the flying sword is two hundred feet away from the main body. Far away, the control of the flying sword began to lose rapidly.
Although the extended distance of the divine consciousness in one direction is farther than 200 feet, it is obvious that the further away, the weaker the power of the divine consciousness becomes. It is already difficult to control the flying sword at a distance of 200 feet.
Maybe it's because practicing flying swords has become a habit, or maybe because I was a little cautious after more than a year in the clan, I let go of my nature now, and then I continued to practice flying swords to shuttle around me while I was on the road.
Because in the past, he always used flying swords to surround his body after practicing his sword skills. However, when he was on the road, doing so would be dangerous, so Li Qiao focused on other living creatures for his sword practice.
The monsters in and around the Li family's sphere of influence have basically been cleared away, but some ordinary animals are still very common, and they are currently placed on these animals.
Not to mention how easy and challenging it is to kill an animal with a flying sword, Li Qiao can easily do it without using a flying sword. So he began to apply the training methods he used on himself to these animals. The flying sword kept circling around the running animals, sometimes cutting off some hair, which made the animals more frightened and made the training more difficult.
However, sword practice is sword practice. Li Qiao did not start killing for no reason. As soon as he walked by, he practiced a few times with similar animals and then let them go. Different animals have different sizes and pose different training challenges. If he encounters a mistake, If so, then use it as food.
"What are you doing?"
Perhaps he was too devoted to practicing flying sword control, or perhaps because he was still within the family's sphere of influence, he was not very vigilant. It wasn't until this doubtful voice sounded not far away that Li Qiao discovered that a family monk with a sword in mid-air was looking at him doubtfully.
The other person looks very young, and you have met him a few times before, but you didn't say anything. You know that the other person is a late-stage Qi training monk.
"I've seen my clan brother, I'm practicing flying sword control!"
Because there are so many people in the clan, calculating seniority in detail is basically a mess, so they are both in the Qi training period and both are Li family monks, and their level is determined by their realm.
Looking at Li Qiao, and then at the striped deer with some fur shaved off, Li Yingzong smiled: "Your way of practicing flying sword control is very unique! If I remember correctly, your name is Li Qiao!"
"Some things go without saying, but the way you practice flying swords was seen by me or the monks in the clan. Knowing your situation, I just laughed it off. But if it was seen by other monks from the cultivating family, it would be a bit sensational. Okay, don’t practice like this again.”
Near the Li family, there are two good immortal cultivating families. Li Qiao knew that they were talking about these two families, but the other party's light words could not convince him. He was not a character who would blindly agree with everything others said.
"This method of manipulation was found in the records on the family's jade slips!" The hidden meaning is that the content on the family's jade slips could be wrong? Although there is no method for grooming animals in the jade slips, all the techniques for controlling flying swords come from the jade slips, so it is correct to say that. What's more, it is impossible for any monks in the clan's Qi training period to control all the jade slips in the clan. Read them all again.
After a moment of silence, Li Yingzong slowly spoke: "The jade slips recorded in the clan are all the essence and cannot be discarded easily, but it does not mean that they are still suitable for the current world of immortality. Some of them are no longer suitable for the times."
"If you read it correctly, you are practicing the flying sword close-quarters attack and killing skills, but now in the world of immortality, ordinary monks are fighting, how can there be any close-quarters attacks? It only exists in the battles of high-level monks, and high-level monks Close attack and killing is different from this, practicing this now is just a waste of time."
"Qi-training monks have little spiritual energy in their bodies. Isn't the main means of protecting the path other than flying swords?" Li Qiao questioned.
"It's a flying sword, but you have to know that the speed of monks is much slower than that of flying swords. During the Qi training period, monks compete in the attack strength and control distance of flying swords. Attacking and killing at close range? It is extremely dangerous, and in an instant Differentiating between life and death and using flying swords to defend against everything cannot be practiced, so it is just a matter of gambling on one's life. Which monk is willing to gamble one's life again and again? How can ordinary monks have this time to practice?"
"Unless you are carrying a defensive weapon to attack at close range, who would rush up after seeing such an opponent? They would have run away long ago."
The other party commented that Li Qiao's close attack and killing skills were useless.
"If the spiritual energy is exhausted and the spiritual consciousness is seriously overdrawn, it will still be useful, let alone what if it is a group battle!"
"The situation you mentioned is too extreme. Monks fight very quickly. Even two monks of equal strength cannot fight for too long. Immortal cultivators have high attack and weak defense. How can they fight a protracted war? As for high defense and weak defense, ? That is to have a treasure that does not match oneself. Not to mention how many such monks there are in the entire world of immortality. It would be better if this treasure is not exposed. If it is exposed, the monk will definitely not survive for a few days. "
"As for group battles, it's easy to hide with the magic of a single monk, but you still want to get close to the magic of group monks?"
"Let's put it this way, close attack and killing techniques were popular in the past because there were many schools of cultivation in the world of immortality. Close attack and killing skills are a powerful method for our Qi training lineage. But now in the entire world of immortality, in addition to a few small Taoist traditions, there are also Outside of rumors, they are basically monks from the Qi Refining lineage. You have a flying sword, and I also have a flying sword. If you practice close-quarters skills, before you can get close, the opponent's fast and ruthless flying swords have already come over."
"As for the ability to use close-quarters skills to defend against flying swords, how can it be possible to master it without dozens or hundreds of years of experience in close combat and escaping from death? There used to be such an environment in the world of immortality, but it no longer exists. As for those casual cultivators, What kind of close-quarters sword do you use? You have a flying sword and you can kill a group of them one by one."
"Brother Xie Clan, tell me!" I was still a little unconvinced, but I didn't want to continue discussing this topic. Practicing close attack and killing skills has been his hardest work for more than a year. It is a small direction he is looking for for his own path to immortality, but the result is now completely denied.
"That's it for now, think about it yourself!"
After saying this, Li Yingzong stopped staying and left directly with his sword. The striped deer that Li Qiao used to practice his sword also took the opportunity to run away.
A few hours later, the night was getting dark, and Li Qiao looked at the sky quietly.
He thought a lot and finally came to the conclusion that he couldn't give up on this skill, he could just practice it quietly in the future.
If he were an ordinary monk, he would listen to the other party's advice, but he is not. The spiritual energy in his body is nearly half less than that of a normal monk. Others are not good at flying swords, and they also have spells. But if he is average at flying swords, Since you can't use too many spells, there won't be any advantage at all.
If the end of his cultivation is only the Qi training period, then there is no need to learn the flying sword close-quarters method, but if he can continue to practice, he must have some way to protect himself. It is not that he wants to choose this, but that he has no choice.
So even if it’s a useless cultivation method, there’s no reason to give up. You can’t just do nothing, right?
The other person can say those things without thinking from his own perspective, because he is not me.
These thoughts continued to circulate in Li Qiao's mind, and he thought about other things, and it was dawn before he knew it.
For immortal cultivators, even those in the Qi training stage, they don’t need much rest time throughout the day. Staying up late is nothing, they can just get up and continue setting off.
