Shen Hao's knowledge of medicinal materials was that of a layman, and he had no idea what medicinal materials were put in that bowl of nourishing soup, so that after he drank it, spiritual energy would disperse from the Dantian area of his abdomen into his body.
This effect has the same effect as the body-building prescription that Shen Hao received from Nie Yun before. Medicinal materials containing spiritual energy are used to nourish the physical body through food, which has achieved a complementary effect with the exercises. Even according to Nie Yun, in this way, there will be no hidden dangers due to the strengthening of the physical essence that is ignored by simply running the exercises.
"Do you want to ask how this soup is made?" Shen Hao muttered in his heart, then shook his head and gave up the idea. Now it was not appropriate for him to ask the Yu family about these things. Just wait.
In the evening, Shen Hao completed the day's homework according to his own practice pace. After finishing the work, he frowned slightly. He felt that he had underestimated the ability of the black beast tattoo to boost his cultivation.
Shen Hao had always held the idea that after practicing "Moving Mountain Strength", he would be able to slow down the speed of his cultivation by squeezing out his true energy, so that his cultivation talent would no longer attract so much attention. But now, after a few months, I realize that I was thinking too simply.
The infuriating gain of the black beast tattoo for practice is not as Shen Hao thought before that it will become less and less effective as his realm improves. But in fact, it is the black beast tattoo or the black beast tattoo. The one who is weak is actually Shen Hao himself. His body has a ceiling for infusing the black beast tattoo with infuriating energy.
In other words, the energy gained by the black beast tattoo on Shen Hao is not its limit, but the limit that Shen Hao can bear.
In the past, with the improvement of cultivation level, the amount of true energy required for each realm jumped up, especially after the "Elixir" became the "True Essence", which was almost dozens or even a hundred times that of the previous God-Gathering realm. when.
At this time, although the Black Beast Tattoo also added some buffs, it seemed to "lag behind" compared with the increase in demand for the new realm. Then Shen Hao used the physical training technique "Mountain-Moving Strength" to intensify the energy consumption, so that he could equalize his own training speed and make his talent no longer look dazzling. After all, stable development is the safest way, and being too dazzling is not necessarily a good thing.
But the idea is very good, and it was indeed proved that Shen Hao was right at the beginning. His cultivation speed actually dropped due to a large part of the Qi gain being intercepted by "Moving Mountain Strength", although it was still slower than Ordinary monks are faster but not as eye-catching as before.
But the good times didn't last long. The situation has changed since "Moving Mountain Strength" entered the second level, and after he got the supplementary knowledge of physical training from Nie Yun.
With the further strengthening of the physical body and the good effects of physical training, the amount of energy gain from the Black Beast Tattoo has also begun to increase significantly, and there is a tendency to gradually equalize the interception consumption of "Moving Mountains". If this continues, in less than two months, Shen Hao's practice speed will become almost the same as before practicing "Moving Mountain Strength".
That's not all. Because Shen Hao gradually discovered the fact that he seemed to have "trapped" himself. In other words, the current situation is contrary to his original intention.
In the past, the higher the cultivation level, the slower the cultivation speed. Although it is still above the average level, the total increase is greater than the increase in the black beast tattoo gain, so the overall amount is equivalent to "slowing down".
But now Shen Hao has practiced "Mountain-Moving Strength" and used alternative physical training to consume the Qi gain in order to slow down his training speed. In the end, due to the increased physical strength, the gain ceiling of the black beast tattoo has been raised, which is counterproductive and has increased the training speed by a large amount. cut. Moreover, the further you progress in "Moving Mountains", the stronger your physical body becomes, which will raise the gain ceiling of the Black Beast Tattoo even higher.
Shen Hao had to think that if he continued to practice like this, not only would he not be able to slow down his practice speed, but he would become faster and faster as he practiced?
In that case, wouldn't Shen Hao be even more outstanding in terms of "talent"?
Sighed. Shen Hao looked out the window, he was in a dilemma.
The only way to continue to hide the speed of your practice is to stop practicing "Moving Mountain Strength". But the effects shown in "Moving Mountains" and the benefits that can be obtained from it are extremely impressive. The physical strength that "Moving Mountains" provided him when he was surrounded by evil monks last time was definitely an important reason why he could survive without any danger.
Moreover, as far as the current actual combat effects are concerned, it seems that the combined martial arts and body cultivators were specially prepared for Shen Hao, and the improvement in strength is definitely much higher than that of a single cultivator. Shen Hao would really be reluctant to give up.
Shen Hao also wanted to have both, but the reality did not allow him to stand out too much. Once the black beast tattoo is exposed, the consequences will be unpredictable.
"There won't be any big problems for at least half a year, but the longer it is delayed, the greater the possibility of problems. We have to make plans early."
Shen Hao's plan was to find another technique that could cover up or hide his cultivation. As for how to get along and limit the black beast tattoo, he has long since lost his ambition. It is just a thing that goes his own way. He doesn't know why he is so motivated to increase his cultivation level so quickly. This has always been in Shen Hao's heart. Doubts were also the worries buried deep in his heart.
Several days passed in this way, and as May was coming to an end, the big change in the temple that Shen Hao had been waiting for did not materialize, and Blackwater's eyes and ears in the imperial city did not detect any sign of the impending news. This made Shen Hao inevitably feel helpless, feeling like he wanted to do big things but was unable to do so. He had to borrow the east wind, but the east wind didn't come whenever he wanted.
But Shen Hao didn't wait for the "big change" in the temple, but instead waited for another strange change.
"Everything was fine in the middle of last month, but starting from the second half of this month, similar situations have appeared in many places." Wang Jian stood in Shen Hao's apartment with his hands tied, his face ashen and his brows furrowed.
Nowadays, Heishui's spies are getting bigger and bigger, and the power in Wang Jian's hands is also getting heavier and heavier. The inherent calmness in his body has long made Wang Jian different from what he used to be. An anxious look like this one is rarely seen on Wang Jian's face now.
"Have your people had any substantial contact with them?" Shen Hao quickly looked at the copper bar Wang Jian handed over in his hand, which contained detailed information, and asked Wang Jian to add verbally.
"Yes, in addition to the missionary team having regular contact with them when they went there for missionary work, the informants we arranged also had contact with them. The situation is very strange. They are able to slowly suck the people around them to death without even being aware of it. Then there will be a burst of true energy slowly rising from their bodies..."
