Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Yui closed her eyes and meditated quietly, but there were small fish swimming around her.
Obviously, she is in the water now.
Due to buoyancy, strands of her white hair and some streamers on her clothes floated upward.
The sixteen-year-old Yui has gradually grown in both figure and appearance. Although there is still a trace of childishness on his face, his overall appearance has gradually matured.
Suddenly, waves of water began to ripple around Yui.
"Qua la la--"
The increasingly intense water waves swayed around Yui.
Yui's eyelids also began to slowly appear a line of light blue eye shadow.
Patterns began to appear on his forehead.
However, within a few seconds, the eyeshadow and patterns on his face gradually disappeared.
Return to nothingness again.
This time it's four seconds.
"Well..." She suddenly opened a pair of silver-white pupils.
He shook his head slightly in the water, and then helplessly floated to the surface.
"Wow!" After landing, she sighed slightly.
After shaking off the water stains on his hair, he walked towards the figure in front of him.
"Yui, was it successful this time?" After seeing Yui ashore, Shobue walked forward excitedly and asked.
"I just felt the breath of Senjutsu Chakra."
Yui shook his head with a depressed expression.
"Only four seconds."
"Shobue, do you think I am not suitable to learn Sage Mode from Shikkotsu Forest!"
"Yui, why do you think so?" Shobue said doubtfully.
"I have been practicing for three years, and I can only hold on for four seconds. Am I useless?" Yui lowered his eyebrows.
Hearing this, Shobue was slightly startled, then stepped forward and patted Yui's head hard.
"Yui, you are so stupid. Your cultivation speed is the fastest I have ever seen. I think you will be able to master it in less than five years."
"Besides, aren't you going to save Nai Hyuga?"
"You want to give up so soon? If so, then you are really useless."
Yui rubbed her aching head, and listening to Shobue's words, her eyes gradually became firmer.
That's right, she still wants to wake up Nai Hyuga, she can't give up.
As Shobue said, if you give up, it is really useless.
"I won't give up." Yui said with firm eyes.
After seeing Yui getting up again, Shobue nodded affirmatively.
"Shobue, do you have any way to speed up your cultivation?" Yui asked from the side.
Among the original Mount Myōboku, there is Toad Oil that can promote absorption. It is impossible that Shikkotsu Forest does not have something similar!
"No." Shobue was also a little helpless about this. She also knew that both Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave had ways to promote the absorption of Natural Energy, but her Shikkotsu Forest did not.
"Ah, no?" Yui was a little disappointed.
There is no way, Shikkotsu Forest Sage Mode's cultivation method is really too weird.
Her mind gradually recalled the process of practicing Sage Mode over the years.
First of all, to learn Shikkotsu Forest and Sage Mode, you must first learn to hold your breath. In the past three years, just holding your breath has taken half of the time.
After you learn to hold your breath, you have to dive into the bottom of the lake, use Mental Power, and compete with the lake water for Natural Energy.
That's right, it's about competing with the lake for Natural Energy.
According to Shobue, the place where Natural Energy is most concentrated in the entire Shikkotsu Forest is in the lake.
Therefore, if you want to absorb Natural Energy, it can only be in water.
However, this lake is too stingy. If you want to practice Sage Mode in it, you can only use Mental Power and the lake water to rob it.
Even if it is snatched away, it will most likely be taken back again.
It wasn't until she started practicing that she understood why Sage Mode who practiced Shikkotsu Forest became extremely powerful Mental Power.
However, this also has an advantage.
That means it won't change.
It will not be like Sage Mode from Mount Myōboku. Natural Energy absorbs too much and turns into Toad.
However, when you practice Sage Mode from Shikkotsu Forest, this situation will not happen.
Use Mental Power to obtain Natural Energy, which makes it easy to control the absorption of Natural Energy, and there is a lake watching eagerly next to it, so there is no possibility of mutation at all.
However, this does not mean that there will be no changes at all.
"Yui, don't be discouraged. You can now retain Natural Energy in your body. It won't take long before you can fully learn it."
"In the past ten thousand years, you are the first to reach this point so quickly." Shobue consoled him from the side.
Yui did not take Shobue's words to heart. After all, Shobue has almost said these words over and over again in the past three years.
However, she didn't know whether it was true or false.
Now, she is still thinking about how to speed up her cultivation.
Mental Power takes Chakra!
If it was Mental Power, she suddenly thought of an idea.
If there is a more powerful Mental Power, wouldn't it be possible to capture more Natural Energy from the lake?
Her current Mental Power is still too weak.
"By the way Shobue, do you have any way to improve Mental Power?"
"Promote Mental Power?" Shobue was a little confused, but she also knew what the other party was thinking.
"Indeed, improving Mental Power will indeed help your cultivation."
"I heard that learning some special illusions seems to be able to improve Mental Power."
"Illusion?" Yui was a little confused.
"Doesn't the illusion consume Mental Power?"
"No, there are some special illusions in the world that can improve Mental Power." Seeing Yui's confusion, Shobue explained.
"That's it..." Yui suddenly realized.
Shobue squinted his eyes and stared at Yui's face, as if he wanted to see through her.
"Yui, do you want to increase the amount of Mental Power to speed up the acquisition of Natural Energy!"
Hearing this Yui was slightly startled, then nodded.
"It seems that I still can't hide my thoughts from you!"
"If that's the case, then don't waste any more effort." Shobue immediately poured cold water on Yui.
"Why?" Yui was a little confused.
"Wouldn't it be possible to increase the speed of capturing Natural Energy by increasing Mental Power?"
Hearing this, Shobue nodded.
"That's true."
"However, when you use Mental Power to obtain Natural Energy in the lake, you are essentially exercising your Mental Power."
