Lu Jing's expression became increasingly ugly when he realized that a disaster was imminent.
If the secret power is refreshed in the same twelve-hour cycle as the internal power at the beginning, then more than an hour has passed since the secret power appeared in his upper dantian.
In other words, he only had less than eleven hours left to use.
And the most important thing is that when Lu Jing faced internal troubles before, he could also try drinking poison to quench his thirst and use acupuncture to quickly consume the excess internal energy in his Dantian.
Although doing this will cause his internal strength to increase the next time he refreshes, it is ultimately a way to save his life when he is desperate, which is equivalent to an insurance.
It's just that now Lu Jing doesn't know if there is a similar solution to the secret power. Anyway, just relying on the paper-cutting technique he just learned, even if he cuts it for a whole day, he can't use up the large amount of secret power in Niwan Palace.
In addition, he had been deliberately avoiding matters related to the secret power, but now the bitter consequences have gradually emerged, resulting in a very limited understanding of internal power.
In short, Lu Jing can't even find a general solution.
So he could only turn to Xuanji on the side for help again.
"The thing that consumes the most secret energy?"
Xuanji's expression became increasingly weird, "All the monks' methods are achieved by relying on secret power. Whether it's spells, formations, or things like talismans, they cannot work without secret power. Usually, Under such circumstances, the more powerful spells, formations, and talismans consume more secret power.
"Some particularly powerful spells, formations and talismans even require several monks to work together to cast them."
"Let me guess, are these spells, formations and talismans difficult to learn?" Lu Jing asked.
"Of course." Xuanji nodded.
Lu Jing knew that this road was dead, at least for now. It took him a full hour to learn the most basic paper-cutting spell, and more difficult spells would definitely take longer.
"Is there any other way, something simpler that even beginners can use?"
This time Xuanji also frowned. She had read almost all the secret power books collected in the library, and anything related to practice could not escape the rules she mentioned before.
However, facing Lu Jing's expectant eyes, Xuanji couldn't bear to extinguish the hope in his heart.
She thought about it carefully again, and finally an answer came to her mind.
"Sword control may be possible." Xuanji said softly.
"Sword control is known as the first of all magics and is extremely powerful, but it is not difficult to get started. It can even be said to be the simplest of all magics. However, it requires too much secret power to practice, and it is like a bottomless pit.
"Usually, monks who practice sword control, even if they don't learn any other spells and just specialize in this art, it will take them three years at the fastest to achieve some success, and their power is not obvious at the beginning. It will not be until six or seven years later that they can gradually catch up. Other monks will only be able to become beginners after ten years and can kill evil with their swords. However, if they want to be able to use their arms and fingers and turn their minds at will, they will have to practice for at least ten more years.
"And practicing here is not the end. This is the most terrifying thing about sword control. Its power will continue to increase as the sword is raised. There is no end. There was a very powerful senior in Si Tian Prison. , relying on his sword control skills to dominate the world, unrivaled. Although he only has one sword in his hand, he can break all the laws in the world.
"But after all, sword control is still too difficult to practice. There are fewer and fewer people who can endure the loneliness and practice sword control. Besides," Xuanji said this with a look of embarrassment on her face.
"There is a set of sword-controlling training methods in the library, but it is in the forbidden book area on the top floor. According to the rules of the academy, I can't lend you that book without the permission of the academy or the Yellow Supervisor."
"Swordsmanship?" Lu Jing thought of something when he heard this.
Speaking of it, he seemed to have a sword-controlling skill... It was taught to him by Gu Zhongling in Biyoudongtian at that time. However, Lu Jing did not have the secret power at that time and had no intention of cultivating the secret power, so he left Biyoudongtian to become the queen. The art of sword control was forgotten by him.
Unexpectedly, it has become his life-saving straw now.
Lu Jing quickly found the sword-controlling technique called Qingguang Yueyingjian from his memory. Fortunately, not too long ago, he still remembered it clearly.
This sword-driving skill is divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts. The upper part is about raising a sword, and the second half is about sword-driving. Sword-driving is still too far away for Lu Jing and is of little use.
So what he mainly looked at was the part about raising a sword. Although Xuanji said that it was not difficult to get started with sword control, it was mainly aimed at those students in the academy who had completed foundation building.
For Lu Jing, it was obviously too much, and he was confused. Fortunately, he had experience in practicing paper-cutting skills. Lu Jing still asked Xuanji for advice this time while guessing, and spent half of it. Only then did Shi Chen roughly understand what the Sword Raising Chapter was about.
Then before I had time to take a breath, I discovered another serious problem.
- He has no sword!
Sword Controlling Sword Controlling Skills, you first need to have a sword to start practicing.
Moreover, the swords used in sword control are not the ordinary iron swords that cost a few taels of silver and can be seen everywhere on the street, not even the priceless swords on the weapon catalog.
It must be a specially made flying sword.
So Lu Jing hurriedly ran to the cave where Chi was.
As soon as I entered the door, I felt an astonishing heat wave. Just because of the location of the entrance, the temperature was conservatively estimated to have exceeded 60 degrees.
And the deeper you go inside, the more amazing the temperature becomes.
Until they reached the heart of the mountain, the heat wave inside was almost suffocating. Chi was standing in the center of the heat wave, topless, pulling the bellows, and the huge furnace in front of her, four people high, was burning red.
All Chi's energy was focused on the thing in the furnace. He didn't even notice Lu Jing walking in, and he had no intention of getting dressed.
Lu Jing turned around consciously. Although he was anxious, he could see that Chi was at a critical moment and could only wait aside. With the Fire Linjia around, he was not afraid of the heat wave here.
It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that Chi completed the casting and poured the molten metal in the giant furnace into the prepared mold before turning to look at Lu Jing.
"Is something wrong?"
Lu Jing didn't look back, "You said before that I could build two things with you. I've already figured out what I want."
"What do you want me to help you build?" Chi walked to the pool, poured water directly from his head, washed away the sweat on his body, and then put on his shirt again.
"Flying Sword, but I don't need you to help me build it. It's ready-made. If I need it urgently, I can pay for it."
Chi did not immediately agree or reject Lu Jing's request. He just asked, "You want to buy a flying sword? Do you know how much a flying sword costs?"
