"Is it really not possible?" Long Chen held back his power.
In the next few days, he practiced on time every day and every night. Since he had talked about learning alchemy beforehand, Duan Zhu's mother and daughter seldom interfered with his affairs, but only prepared enough food for him every day.
A few days later, the experience of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra has been memorized in my heart. During the practice, a magical power grows in the skin and bones. Through the insightful eyes of the Purple Demon Eyes, I can faintly feel the formation of a wave all over my body. A faint layer of protection, not only that, but even the fifth level of Yuanli's innate power shows signs of breakthrough. But Ice Palm and Red Flame Fist still didn't think of a way to fuse.
On this day, he entered the void swallowing ring again. Unexpectedly, the phantom of the mirage's soul has been waiting there for a long time.
"The student has met the teacher." Long Chen bowed deeply to the mirage's shadow.
"Chen'er is here. Judging from your expression, you must have gained something this time." Mirage sent out a feminine force to lift Long Chen up.
"Yes, thanks to the teacher's teachings. Since I practiced the Marrow Cleansing Sutra, my disciple has felt a magical power growing between my muscles, bones and skin. I can sense that there is a faint white light covering my whole body. Not only that, there are also signs of breakthrough in the fifth level of innate power.”
After hearing this, Mirage secretly sighed: "My aptitude was enough to shock the world at the time. I never thought that Chen'er's innate aptitude was so terrifying. It took me nearly two months of training to form such a white protective shield. How could he?" The protective shield appeared in a blink of an eye, it’s really unbelievable.”
Seeing that his disciple was so outstanding, Mirage could not suppress his joy, but he did not praise him face to face. He just said lightly: "You have only just glimpsed the threshold of cultivation. There is still a long way to go."
"Disciple, please remember." Long Chen is a very humble person. He didn't come here just to show off.
"Have you also practiced Ice Palm and Red Flame Fist?"
Long Chen nodded and said: "I have already practiced these two sets of palm techniques. They condense the ice and fire elements in the body into the power of ice and fire, and then emit them in the form of palm techniques."
"So, you have already mastered it?"
"Disciple, let me demonstrate it to the teacher."
Long Chen then demonstrated the Red Flame Fist and Ice Palm in front of the mirage. As expected, each set of palm techniques fired twice in succession. Mirage looked at the broken branches that looked like charcoal and the tree trunks that looked like ice chips, and couldn't help but marvel at Long Chen's cultivation talent.
"Yes, I have mastered the basics of Ice Palm and Red Flame Fist, but the only difference is that the strike distance can only be half a foot away from you."
"Why is this?" Long Chen also discovered the reason.
"Because there is no push from the power of the wind."
"The power of wind? Could it be the power of the wind element?"
Mirage nodded with satisfaction and said: "There are five elements in nature: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which correspond to the five forces of thunder, wind, water (ice), fire, and earth. Normally, our human body The two elements that are often present are water and fire, followed by the metal element, while the wood and earth elements are relatively rare. Therefore, to obtain the two elements of earth and wood, you must rely on external forces."
After hearing this, Long Chen thought that this was indeed the case during his cultivation. The three elements of water, fire, and electricity were indeed obvious, but the elements of earth and wood were not obvious enough, or even absent. Thinking of this, he took out "Wind Spirit Jue" and said, "Teacher, so this "Wind Spirit Jue" is the secret book used to cultivate the power of the wood element?"
"You can teach me, that's it. As long as you master this skill, you can control the power of the wood element. The wind spirit technique is divided into elementary, intermediate, advanced and perfect levels. If you can practice it to the perfect level by chance, then the wood element between heaven and earth The power is available to you. In the same way, for the power of the earth element, you must find the "Earth Spirit Art" to obtain the power of the earth element to a greater extent."
Long Chen asked: "Then the three elements of gold, water, and fire don't need to find similar thunder spirit arts, water spirit arts, and fire spirit arts to obtain the power of these elements?"
"Yes, the power of these three elements can be continuously obtained during your daily practice of Yuanli and the practice of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra."
Mirage's narration opened a path of cultivation for Long Chen.
"Teacher, I still have a question."
"Say." Mirage was very satisfied with such a thoughtful student, and he hoped that his disciples could be better than others.
"Can the palm techniques with dual attributes of ice and fire be fused together?"
"Fusion together? You mean that during the attack, the attack effect will show the dual attribute effect of ice and fire, doubling the power."
Long Chen nodded.
Long Chen's idea caused Mirage to think deeply. If it is true as Long Chen said, the attack effects of the two attributes will indeed be doubled, but can ice and fire, two opposite attributes, be fused together?
"Tell me your specific thoughts."
Long Chen then said that during his training, he could either use Ice Palm or Red Flame Fist, but he could not use one hand to shoot black ice or the other hand to shoot fire.
"One hand produces black ice, and the other hand produces fire?" After hearing this, Mirage suddenly had an idea.
After a moment of silence, Mirage said: "Distraction serves two purposes."
"What is distraction?" Long Chen asked with his head raised, his eyes full of questions.
"The so-called dual purpose of distraction is to complete two behaviors at the same time under the command of the same brain. Try drawing a circle with one hand and a square with one hand to see if you can do it?"
"Draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other? How difficult is this?" Long Chen then picked up a wooden stick with his left hand and another wooden stick with his right hand. Draw circles and squares with both hands at the same time, but either sides will be circles or both sides will be squares.
"What's going on? It should be easy to make a square and a circle, but it is so difficult." He continued to try a few times but could not succeed.
"You think it's as easy as eating beans," Mirage joked.
"Why is this happening?"
"This is naturally the case. Often things that seem simple are very, very difficult to do. This is because any movement of our body is directed by the brain, and when we do anything, we rely on the brain to issue instructions. Only the limbs can operate, and generally, they can only accept one behavior at the same time.”
"For example, when our brain emits the energy to condense the ice element in the body, it is a thought commanding a behavior. The movement that controls the limbs is the process of condensing the ice element. But if we want to condense the energy of the fire element at the same time, then we must condense the energy of the fire element at the same time. Two behaviors, at this time, the brain can only default to one behavior."
Long Chen still didn't understand: "So what does this have to do with drawing circles and squares at the same time?"
"It is related, and it is very related. Because our brain is divided into left and right hemispheres, the left hemisphere controls the right limb, and the right hemisphere controls the left limb. However, due to the influence of one kind of thinking, generally speaking, we cannot bear two kinds of thoughts at the same time. Behavioral habits, so there is a result that either sides are circles or both sides are square. At this time, it is necessary to exercise the balance of the left and right limbs, and use limb exercises to differentiate two different thoughts. This is distraction 2. use."
