When it comes to preparation and planning, Chen Mo is definitely the best among them, but when it comes to cultivation and fighting with others, this exposes his blind spot and is a weakness that he cannot avoid.
To escape from the heavily guarded spirit stone mine, he relied on the magic of Liu Qing and Mu Ang, but he didn't even take any action. To build a new city in Qinfeng County, he also relied on spiritual power and internal power to bully a few people in the world, which is incomparable.
If he had to count the martial arts and spells he had learned, there were only three martial arts skills taught him by the old man Li Qing, the Wanxiang Sect's Suzaku Hand and Shadow Step, and the Afterimage Corroding Heart Sword.
There are three spells. The first two are gravity and fireball, which are common among cultivators. As the name suggests, one can pull objects, and the other can release small fireballs. The last one is Chen Mo's self-created trick, spiritual power ball, and the spirit ball. The force is compressed and launched in the form of a fireball, somewhat similar to a combination of the first two spells.
Of course, there are far more intermediate spells than these. The extension of each element can evolve into many kinds of spells. This depends on the individual's understanding and qualifications.
Qualification determines whether a cultivator is qualified to learn, and understanding affects how many spells a cultivator can master. The relationship between the two is somewhat similar to that of a pond and a fish. The pond without the fish is still the same, but without the water, the understanding of the fish is useless.
Chen Mo, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining before, obviously had no qualifications in the former situation, otherwise he wouldn't have learned two spells in more than ten years.
But in just over a year, the I Ching marrow cleansing, the Yin spirit power, the mysterious black stone, everything is about to become different!
He stood in the open space in the valley, thinking a lot. Before this, he had never thought that one day he would be able to have the spiritual power fluctuations of the eleventh level of Qi refining, let alone experience this feeling, a heroic mood, Suddenly it came to me!
With a thought in Chen Mo's mind, the black spiritual power in his body was stimulated, and a fist-sized fireball condensed at his fingertips. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary fireball, but if you carefully observe the position of its inner flame, the burning But it is black material!
"go!"
Chen Mo shouted in his mouth, and the fireball hit the boulder not far away. There was a "boom" sound, the smoke dispersed, and a crack about ten feet wide opened on the boulder, and it was still extending. It is estimated that there will be more Two fireballs of the same power caused the boulder to completely collapse and explode.
"This...this is too strong!"
Chen Mo looked at the masterpiece not far away and was extremely shocked. Is this a low-level fireball technique? Even some of the more powerful spells in the mid-level spells can't produce such an effect!
What made him most incredible was that he didn't expend much spiritual energy to condense this fireball. According to this level, he could still fire at least forty or fifty fireballs.
"If the sneak attack is done properly, a monk on the twelfth level of Qi Refining wouldn't be able to catch so many fireballs in a hurry, right?" Chen Mo thought secretly in his heart.
He possesses Yin Spirit Power, which is somewhat different from the class of marrow cleansing monks. In the past half year, he has almost concluded it. Taking Chu Wushuang as an example, the level of Qi Refining in Yin Spirit Power is equivalent to her fifth level of Qi Refining. The third level of Qi refining with Yin spirit power is equivalent to her ninth level of Qi refining.
"The fifth level of Qi refining now is comparable to the eleventh level of Qi refining of a marrow cleansing monk. So when I reach the eighth level of Qi refining, will I be able to approach the Great Perfection of Qi refining?"
"If you calculate it like this, the Yin Spiritual Power cultivator has seven more realms of spiritual power than the Marrow Cleansing cultivator. Isn't it terrible?" Chen Mo did a rough calculation and his breathing became faster.
Chen Mo also tested the gravity technique and the spiritual power ball one by one. With the addition of black spiritual power, the power was much stronger than the normal spells released at the eleventh level of Qi refining.
Overjoyed, he studied the Suzaku Hand and Shadow Step for a while, and the power was naturally different from the past. Of course, martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. He has not practiced for more than half a year, and his techniques are a bit rusty. After mastering the skills, Chen Mo secretly decided to practice every day and cannot take it lightly.
This experiment lasted for nearly three hours. After Chen Mo was satisfied with everything, he returned to the wooden house, repaired the broken windows, sat cross-legged and meditated, waiting for what kind of situation the sudden spiritual power would develop. .
Twelve hours after Chen Mo possessed spiritual power that did not belong to him, the black liquid covering his dantian slowly flowed, contracted and fused within his body, and finally turned into the black stone again. However, this time it was silent in Chen Mo's dantian and could not be taken out.
The Yin spirit power of the fifth level of Qi refining also faded away like a tide, and Chen Mo returned to the level of the first level of Qi refining. Feelings of weakness and fatigue could not help but surge into his heart. He reluctantly breathed and meditated, and it took him three full days to recover. .
"What on earth is this weird stone that can actually improve my temporary cultivation for one day?"
Chen Mo had ten thousand question marks in his heart waiting for answers. Without knowing anything, he could only move forward on his own.
But not long after, Chen Mo discovered two strange things. Although they were both developing in a good direction, they made him uneasy for some reason.
The first thing is that the speed of cultivating Yin spiritual energy unexpectedly increased by four to five times. At night, his body seemed to become a whirlpool of spiritual energy, attracting the Yin spiritual energy coming from all directions and transforming it. The speed was also much faster than before. In just one month, he successfully broke through to the second level of Qi Refining.
If this were to spread, countless people would be shocked!
If it was just like that, Chen Mo would think it was nothing, but the second thing was the source of terror for him. That was one night, he was shocked to find that the black stone seemed to be alive. Absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world in your Dantian by yourself!
The speed is a few points faster than his breathing. If accumulated over a long period of time, it is possible to surpass him by a large realm.
This couldn't help but make him nervous. He didn't know what the consequences would be if he was surpassed by the black stone, but he instinctively felt that this was a crisis, so he raced against time to practice.
More than three months later, under Chen Mo's tireless practice, he reached the third level of Qi refining. Even the conspiracy of senior brother Li and the matter of taking care of medicinal herbs were put aside in his mind. .
He planned to activate the black stone once, while the matter was still under his control and he still had the ability to adapt. If his cultivation level were higher, it would be difficult to intervene.
Of course, Chen Mo didn't directly use his spiritual power to inspire him. He had already made quite a lot of preparations before doing so.
"Fusion."
The cold voice still sounded calmly, and Chen Mo's mind exploded with a "boom" again. After his Dantian was wrapped in black liquid, the same situation happened as last time. The mysterious spiritual power once again replaced the Yin spiritual power, and his cultivation To begin a rapid ascent!
"Fifth level of Qi refining!"
"Sixth level of Qi refining!"
The spiritual power gushing out of the Dantian wrapped in black liquid seemed to be endless. Chen Mo's body was stretched a lot as before, and the spiritual power was still being vented.
Seeing that his body was about to burst, Chen Mo's preparations were put to use. Many bright herbs were placed on the table. Chen Mo quickly grabbed one with both hands. While absorbing it on one side, he was purifying the herbs on the other side. The process lasted for a stick of incense. After the black spiritual power had been running for a long time, Chen Mo's cultivation level had stabilized to a little more than the sixth level of Qi Refining, which was about the strength of the 12th level of Qi Refining.
Chen Mo was bleeding from all his orifices due to the huge amount of spiritual power. He looked in agony, and some of the blood vessels in his body were burst. However, it was not all nothing. At least this fusion allowed him to understand the basic laws of black stones.
While he was cultivating, the black stone was also cultivating. After the two merged, a qualitative change would occur. However, if the gap was too large and Chen Mo had no time to release his spiritual power, what awaited him would be the result of his body exploding to death.
After each fusion, the cultivation level in the black stone will weaken a little, so in order to prevent the stone from surpassing him, Chen Mo has to activate it every once in a while.
It's not like Chen Mo has never thought about not activating it, but no one knows the consequences of doing so. He shuddered just thinking about the fact that something two levels higher than him was born in his body. If this thing were to be taken away from him one day...
"Instead of facing unknown dangers, it is better to be safe by solving them regularly." Chen Mo thought in his mind.
The second fusion was much more violent than the first. At this time, Chen Mo's meridians were damaged to varying degrees. He couldn't fight in a short period of time, otherwise the injuries would be compounded. He was still like this after the third fusion. But I can't survive it.
"We can only start from two aspects, strengthen the tempering of the physical body, or find a way to improve one's cultivation."
Chen Mo found that he was forced to practice. The black stone is not a human being. If you are tired today, take a rest. If you get injured tomorrow, you will not complain. This is equivalent to having a friend who is practicing all the time. Once it is surpassed After a lot of cultivation, the consequences... are serious!
But thinking from the positive side, this can be regarded as Chen Mo's ultimate trump card. The instantaneous increase in spiritual power is enough to cope with many unexpected situations.
Moreover, there are black stones that improve his qualifications, and the aura he absorbs becomes different from before, which is a huge contrast to him when the black stones were not activated.
This time, Chen Mo couldn't hold on and was unconscious for seven days before waking up. This was a lesson to him. After activating the black stone, he must find a safe place, otherwise any person or beast that passes by could kill him. Lost.
On the other hand, Chu Wushuang and senior brother Li gradually met more and more times in the past three months. When Chen Mo accidentally went out, he saw her about to go to the open ground plain.
"Sister, are you going to see Senior Brother Li again?" Chen Mo said hello with a smile, deliberately testing the development of the two of them, and pretending to be unintentional.
"You're talking nonsense again. Senior Brother Li and I are just friends. It's not what you think." Chu Wushuang was in a good mood recently. He changed his cold style from the past and his tone became softer when he spoke to Chen Mo. A little.
"Senior Brother Li Yanjun traveled with several fellow Taoists in the valley a few days ago. He acted righteously in Tiemu County and killed four evil cultivators who were doing evil in the local area. This incident was reported back to Xianyun Valley, and I don't know what it attracted. With so many admiring glances, many younger generations of casual cultivators in the valley have now joined the team to ward off evil spirits and slay demons."
"You work behind closed doors all day long and have never seen the glamor of the outside world. Why don't you come with me today to have a look?" Chu Wushuang's beautiful eyes were filled with waves, and he unabashedly admired Li Yanjun. When the topic changed, he wanted Chen Mo to do the same. We met together, so we invited him.
