Until now, Chen Mo had not discovered the real use of this black stone found in the secret passage of Duan Konghen. After just recovering his cultivation in the house, he had already tried to activate it with Yin spirit power, but it failed. The effect is still the same, it is still an ordinary stone.
"Could it be that the method I used is wrong?" Chen Mo thought in his mind.
Putting the stone in his palm, he used Yin Spirit force to hold it in one fell swoop. It could be seen that Chen Mo's hands were shaking under the force, but when he opened it after a moment, he found that the stone was still intact.
Chen Mo picked up another piece of gravel from the river, and just grabbed it lightly. When he let go with his left hand, the stone had turned into a small pile of powder, flowing between his fingers and blown away by the wind.
"It can absorb spiritual energy and is extremely hard..." Chen Mo muttered to himself.
In the trial of Zhaotian Sect, it was this black stone that was brought into the illusion that allowed him to see through the trap and escape. Also, when he was carrying the herbal jade slip, this stone was inexplicably helpful. Without some knowledge, , Chen Mo wouldn’t believe it even to death.
It was not Chen Mo's character to give up like that. He thought of some treasure legends in the secular world. In the following time, he threw the black stone into the burning fire and soaked it in the cold and biting river water, but the effect was achieved. ..still has no effect.
After struggling for a day, Chen Mo did nothing. At night, he returned exhausted to the wooden house. He threw the black stones on the table and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"That's all, let's study it tomorrow...it's better to practice at night."
This is telling the truth. The Yin spirit energy that Chen Mo needs is stronger at night, and his cultivation is much stronger than during the day. He ran the Qi nourishing formula of the Ancient Pagoda Sect and began to breathe it out.
A steady stream of cold spiritual energy came from all directions. After being inhaled and circulated in the body for a long time, it slowly flowed into the internal organs. The coldness radiating from the inside out made Chen Mo's body tremble slightly and made his limbs cold. , the blood all over the body also became coagulated.
This is different from the normal spiritual energy that is inhaled. The cultivation of Yin spiritual power is simply a kind of torture. Chen Mo feels like he is in an ice cellar made of thousands of years of ice. There is nothing but bone-chilling cold.
Time passed slowly as Chen Mo breathed out. The morning sun rose, and half of the Yin spirit power dissipated. Chen Mo opened his eyes, looked inside his body, and found that the Yin spirit energy cultivated this night was almost It was so tiny that if he hadn't paid close attention, he wouldn't have noticed it.
Chen Mo sighed, collected his skills, and turned around to go around Sun Xing's medicinal garden. Now that the master is not here, it would be bad if his medicinal herbs were raised to death.
Of course, during the day, besides serving the herbs, he was not idle. He also soaked the black stones with the remaining medicinal liquid, but the effect remained the same and there was no change.
At night, Chen Mo continued to breathe out and practice his Yin spirit power. When he was really irritable, he would read the herbal books and tips given by Sun Xing, and he could get through it.
Time flies, and five months have passed in the blink of an eye.
It has been nearly a year since Chen Mo came to Xianyun Valley. During this time, he only took care of herbs and studied black stones during the day, and practiced Yin spirit power at night. Now, after such a long period of practice, he finally Now you know why Sun Xing and the great elder Jiedan of Zhaotian Sect said that the cultivation of Yin spirit power is slow.
Unlike other cultivators, Yin spirit power can only be practiced at night. It is not that Chen Mo has never tried it during the day, but the effect is very little. That's half the time compared to that.
In addition, his normal absorption and transformation speed is slower at night, and the realm can hold more spiritual power. As a result, in the past six months, his cultivation level has only reached the first level of Qi Refining, and even the second level of Qi Refining. The threshold cannot be reached.
"If I continue at this pace, I will break through the second level of Qi refining in two years, and the third level in five years... Do I really have to be seventy or eighty years old to build the foundation?"
Chen Mo felt that Yin spiritual power was not a good thing. The importance of each level of spiritual power was not felt at all to him now. If this was the same ordinary spiritual power as Chu Wushuang, plus the cultivation level he once had, Now he is already a monk at the eighth level of marrow cleansing and qi refining.
Just a few days ago, Chen Mo accidentally discovered that Chu Wushuang had broken through the ninth level of Qi refining and reached the tenth level of Qi refining that he had dreamed of. He could also master many advanced spells, but what about him?
Chen Mo played with the black stone in his hand and became angry.
Everything is really going wrong. The miracle of this black stone has never been shown since it helped him remember the jade slip. In the past five months, neither blood nor spiritual power has been of any use to this stone. , Chen Mo also injected spiritual power into it under the strongest sunlight at noon, and also under the moonlight, and the feedback he received was still the same, without any fluctuation.
Not only that, but also a series of situations such as full moon, quarter moon, Emei moon, waning moon, etc., Chen Mo tried them one by one, but the result was never what he expected.
The only useful thing is that this stone can absorb spiritual energy. After more than half a year of accumulation, the spiritual energy that Chen Mo injected into it has reached a terrifying amount. He imagined that maybe one day this stone can absorb enough spiritual energy. force, it will automatically show its effect?
Chen Mo was in a bad mood today, which may have something to do with the cloudy weather. He walked out of the area where the waterfall was clean and the old man lived, and walked towards the plain, the largest open space in the valley. Otherwise, the flowers nearby were very pleasant. Chen Mo was a little sluggish from practicing all the time, so a change of mood was necessary.
He had only met Chu Wushuang a few times in the past five months, and every time he met, he only said hello in a hurry and left. Chen Mo was not a nymphomaniac who would pursue someone pretty when he saw her. To him, If he was asked to choose between beauty and cultivation, he would naturally choose the latter. As for the former, in his heart, he would be regarded as a vassal at most.
Today's sky was as gloomy as the black stone in his hand, and the air was as light as iron gray as smoke. He looked up and saw the vast and tall peaks on both sides oppressing Chen Mo, who could hardly breathe. The clouds were thick, as if the next moment would be... There was lightning and thunder.
Chen Mo made up his mind to go back after relaxing for a while, otherwise he would definitely be drowned.
"Junior sister Chu, you have to be careful. This is a move that Li has been practicing hard recently. Let's see if you can catch it!"
Chen Mo was walking thoughtfully when a pleasant male voice that he had never heard before suddenly came from the open plain not far away. Chen Mo was startled and quickly concealed his whereabouts. This was his subconscious reaction.
"Junior Sister Chu...Chu Wushuang?"
Chen Mo was confused. He had never heard that Sun Xing had another disciple? With curiosity, he tiptoed through the low bushes and saw the two people competing in the open space through the gaps between the branches.
Sure enough, Chu Wushuang, who was wearing a wide sky blue dress, was fighting with a young monk in black, holding a fairy sword. Of course, the atmosphere isn't that intense, it's all about lightness.
"Ping Ping...."
The swords made a sound of metal collision as they danced wildly. Chen Mo watched intently from the side. The young man in black had obviously higher cultivation. Judging from his level, he could break through Chu Wushuang's flaws many times, but he But I didn't do this, but just like a trick...
Two figures crisscrossed each other under the oppressive and dull sky, fighting incessantly. Chen Mo finally saw that Chu Wushuang only had a limited amount of cultivation, and his ability to fight with others was not as good as his half-heartedness. If Chen Mo hadn't been possessed by the Yin Spirit, If there is a delay, this woman can be captured within a few rounds.
Of course, with Chu Wushuang's experience, she couldn't tell that the young monk was giving in to her.
In about a quarter of an hour, as the young man in black stopped, he and Chu Wushuang put away the fairy sword at the same time and inserted it back into the scabbard.
"Junior sister Chu, the weather is not good, and there may be a storm coming later. Let's end the discussion here for today." The young monk said to Chu Wushuang with a serious face.
Chu Wushuang's face turned slightly red. He didn't know if it was caused by practicing the sword just now or something else. He said softly: "Thank you, Senior Brother Li, for your guidance. Wushuang is grateful."
Chen Mo was dumbfounded on the sidelines. Is this still the same Chu Wushuang who ignored everyone and treated everyone as if they were strangers?
"Haha, what are you talking about? Junior Sister Chu's affairs are my business. The master and the master are away and not coming back. You and I are both disciples, so we should take care of each other." The young man surnamed Li smiled and said to Chu Wushuang gently. said.
Chu Wushuang hummed and did not refute.
Only then did Chen Mo notice that this young man surnamed Li had advanced cultivation and a very talented appearance. He was not inferior to Liu Qing. Disgust.
"Go back quickly. At this time tomorrow, Li will teach you how to use spells. Martial skills are only part of it. Real spells are the core of cultivation."
After the young monk finished speaking, he paused, looked in the direction where Chen Mo was hiding, and smiled slightly: "My friend, are you still using Li to invite you out?"
Chen Mo's heart thumped. He didn't expect that this young monk's spiritual consciousness was far superior to that of Chu Wushuang, and he could sense his existence even from such a long distance!
Now that he had been exposed, there was no point in hiding anymore. Chen Mo patted the flowers and leaves on his body and walked out of the bushes.
"Junior brother!"
Chu Wushuang's face instantly turned red, almost bleeding. She didn't know why. When she was sparring with the young man named Li, the last thing she wanted to see was Chen Mo. She couldn't explain why. She quickly explained before Chen Mo could speak. Said: "Don't get me wrong, we are just comparing martial arts skills."
Chen Mo thought to himself, what are you trying to explain to me? I'm not your Taoist companion, just a junior brother. I really don't understand a woman's thoughts.
But Chen Mo could tell that the young man named Li had some admiration for Chu Wushuang, but he didn't know whether Chu Wushuang didn't know or was just pretending to be confused.
"Junior brother?" The young man surnamed Li raised his eyebrows and stopped taking action: "I heard from Junior Sister Chu that Senior Sun accepted a disciple more than half a year ago, and it must be you, fellow Taoist, right?"
