Qin Tiexin sits cross-legged, hands in a mudra in front of the body, and Five Phases Conversion Pearl floats in front of the body.
He took a deep breath and sank his consciousness into Dantian.
The five Primordial Qi Vortex are rotating at an accelerated speed, as if being stirred by invisible hands. Spiritual power surges through the meridians like a tide, causing a slight feeling of swelling and pain.
It's time.
Qin Tiexin did not hesitate, took out the bottle of Supreme-Grade Essence-Nurturing Pill given by Luo Ling from Storage Bag, poured out two pills, and stuffed them into his mouth.
The elixir melts as soon as it enters the abdomen, turning into two gentle and majestic torrents of spiritual power that pour into the meridians.
At the same time, he held two pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stone in each hand, and the Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Stone was frantically extracted and poured into his body through his palms.
Four strands of external spiritual power, plus the pure five-element spiritual power transformed by Five Phases Conversion Pearl, the five strands of power converged, like five rivers rushing into the sea, all flowing towards Dantian.
The five cyclones in Dantian are spinning faster.
Qin Tiexin concentrates on running the complete version of "Primordial Unity Instruction".
The spiritual power circulates along specific routes in the meridians, and each time it completes a cycle, it condenses one point. The cyclones in Dantian are also continuing to compress and condense.
Time passed little by little.
There was silence in cave abode, except for the steady and long breathing of Qin Tiexin. Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and dripping on his clothes, leaving dark traces.
The Five Phases Conversion Pearl brilliance on the chest circulated, and the five-color light became brighter and brighter, making the entire stone chamber flicker.
Within the body, the five cyclones have rotated to their limit.
At a certain moment--
The five cyclones shook at the same time, their rotation speed suddenly slowed down, and their size began to expand.
Qin Tiexin gritted his teeth and injected the last spiritual power into it.
Boom.
A silent roar exploded inside Dantian.
The five cyclones contracted suddenly, and then expanded instantly. In the center of them, a new light lit up - it was only the size of a pinhead at first, and then quickly expanded and turned into the sixth cyclone.
After the sixth cyclone is formed, it forms a new balance with the other five cyclones. The six cyclones rotate slowly, and are connected to each other by faint spiritual threads, forming a more complex rotation system.
Qi Refining Sixth Layer.
Breakthrough.
Qin Tiexin slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
The turbid air condensed into white mist in the air and lingered for a long time.
He lowered his head and looked at his hands - the four pieces of Spirit Stone in his palms had turned into gray and white powder. The medicinal power of Supreme-Grade Essence-Nurturing Pill had also been exhausted.
But worth it.
According to his original cultivation progress, it would take at least half a year to go from the fifth level to the sixth level. Now, with the help of Five Phases Conversion Pearl and the pill Spirit Stone, he can break through in just over a month.
This is the power of resources.
Qin Tiexin stood up and stretched his muscles. He could feel that the spiritual energy in his body was nearly 30% thicker than before, and it was running more smoothly.
He didn't stop.
It was still dark, and there was still half an hour before the fixed practice period in the morning. He walked directly to the forging room, lit the ground fire, and started the next day's practice.
The plan cannot be messed up.
In the second month, the practice continued.
The progress of "Falling Star Spear" is the most obvious.
Qin Tiexin successfully created the first "Parent-Child Spear".
The material is mainly refined iron, with a small amount of spiritual material "Metal-Splitting Stone" added - this spiritual material will split on its own when subjected to severe impact. He evenly mixed Metal-Splitting Stone powder into the front part of the gun body, and carved a special "Splitting Spirit Rune".
After the forging was completed, the gun was five feet long and weighed forty-five kilograms. On the surface, it looked no different from the ordinary Armor-Piercing Spear, but there were three obscure cracks inside the gun body, corresponding to the three nodes of Splitting Spirit Rune.
Qin Tiexin took Parent-Child Spear to the back mountain.
Standing a hundred steps away, he took a deep breath and threw with all his strength.
The javelin breaks through the air.
When it flew about fifty steps, three cracks inside the gun body lit up at the same time.
Click.
With a slight crackling sound, the javelin split into three. The main gun continued forward, and the two shorter sub-guns that split off on both sides spread out in a fan shape, covering a range of three feet on the left and right.
Three guns hit the target area simultaneously.
The main gun was driven into the bluestone bullseye, one of the sub-guns was nailed to the tree trunk on the left, and the other was driven into the ground on the right.
Qin Tiexin walked over to check.
The power of the main gun has not diminished, and it is still more than halfway into the bluestone. Although the sub-gun is short, the power of the Penetration is not weak. The tree trunk was pierced, and the one on the ground was more than a foot into the ground.
"Covering attack is suitable for dealing with targets that are flexible in dodge." He said to himself.
Next is the more difficult one - the second layer, Divine Sense controlled direction drawing arc.
Qin Tiexin couldn't figure out the door at all at first. According to the records of Jade Slip, at the moment the javelin is released, use Divine Sense to "pull" the tail of the javelin, just like gently turning it with your hands to change the flight trajectory.
It sounds simple but is difficult to do.
He tried hundreds of times, but the javelin always flew straight out. Either Divine Sense used too much force and the gun body tilted and fell; or the force was too light and had no effect.
Until one afternoon, he suddenly remembered his experience while making weapons.
When depicting Spirit Rune, you need to use Divine Sense to finely control the flow direction and intensity of Spiritual Qi. That kind of fine operation has something in common with pulling the tail of a gun.
He adjusted his thinking.
Divine Sense is no longer used as a "hand" to "pull" the tail of the gun, but as a "water stream" to gently "push" the side of the gun body.
Try again.
The moment the javelin was released, he separated a strand of Divine Sense, wrapped it around the middle of the gun body like a thread, and flicked it to the left.
The gun body trembled slightly.
In the air, the trajectory of the javelin shifted extremely slightly - not a sudden turn, but a gentle arc.
Although the arc is very small, only deviating from the original straight line by about one foot, it is indeed an arc.
The javelin bypassed an ancient tree as an obstacle and hit the stone behind the tree.
Bang.
The rocks exploded.
Qin Tiexin stood there, looking at the pile of rubble, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
It's done.
Although it is only the most basic arc, which is still far from the "three turns around the tree and one shot back to the horse" recorded by Jade Slip, it is at least getting started.
Regarding "Cauldron Eating Art", problems began to emerge.
The Demon Beast meat brought back from the secret realm - Ironback Wolf, Fire Feather Sparrow, and other scattered harvests, have all been eaten.
Qin Tiexin had to go to the market to purchase ordinary Demon Beast meat.
Qi Refining is the entry-level "Grass-Horned Deer meat", Qi Refining is the intermediate "Rockskin Pig meat", and the cheapest "Gray-Furred Rabbit meat". These Demon Beast Qi and Blood are far inferior to Ironback Wolf like Foundation Establishment Realm Demon Beast, but they are large in quantity and can be filled.
He eats more than ten kilograms of meat every day.
Cook, eat and absorb according to the method of "Cauldron Eating Art". Although the effect is compromised, Qi and Blood is still growing steadily.
You can feel that the blood is becoming more and more viscous and heavy. When running Qi and Blood, you can vaguely hear the sound of blood flowing in the blood vessels, like mercury rolling in the tube.
This is a sign that "Qi and Blood is like mercury", which means that he is moving from Body Tempering Seventh Layer to the eighth floor.
The benefits brought by cultivation breakthroughs are also reflected in other aspects.
In the depiction of Spirit Rune Array, due to the more refined enhancement and spiritual control of Divine Sense, the success rate of the three Spirit Rune with the same attribute increased from 70% to 80%. After ten attempts, eight were successful, and the two failures were mostly due to material problems rather than technique errors.
In terms of bone and teeth tools, Spirit-Conducting Rune was already proficient. He began to try to carve "Gathering Spirit Rune" on the abandoned wolf bones - this is a more complex Spirit Rune that can gather the surrounding Spiritual Qi into the bone tool, Nourishment its spirituality.
I tried several times and could only manage to form it occasionally, but the effect of Spirit Gathering was weak.
Qin Tiexin There is no need to rush. Bone tools already require water grinding, so there is no need to rush.
The sparring session with Nangong Yao is still going on.
Once every three days, it's unstoppable.
Qin Tiexin still loses more and wins less, but the progress is visible to the naked eye. Now Nangong Yao wants to use Cloud Gauze Handkerchief to entangle him, and it will take at least fifteen moves. Occasionally, he can seize the opportunity and use a short knife to interfere with the spiritual connection between Silk Pa and Nangong Yao, forcing her to take back Law Artifact.
"Junior brother, the speed of your progress is a bit scary." After a certain sparring session, Nangong Yao said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Qin Tiexin got up from the ground. "Senior sister taught me well."
"Come on." Nangong Yao waved his hand, "I know what my level is. I've been taught, but you can learn so quickly because of your own ability."
She paused and suddenly asked, "Are you Qi Refining Sixth Layer now?"
"Just broke through."
"No wonder." Nangong Yao nodded, "Divine Sense is getting stronger, reacts faster, and controls spiritual power better. Keep practicing, and waiting for you Qi Refining Late Stage, I might have to do it for real."
Qin Tiexin didn't say anything, but just clenched the short knife in his hand.
Time has entered the beginning of the third month.
In the early morning of this day, Qin Tiexin was preparing to go to the back mountain to practice throwing as usual.
He first checked the Demon Beast meat reserve in Storage Bag.
Empty.
The batch of meat I bought earlier, which weighed three hundred kilograms, was eaten up in less than a month.
He frowned.
The effect of "Cauldron Eating Art" is good, but the consumption is too high. According to this way of eating, you will have to spend hundreds of Spirit Stone every month to buy meat. This is still the cheapest ordinary Demon Beast meat. If you want to speed up the progress, you will have to spend several times more to buy more Qi and Blood high-grade Demon Beast meat.
Body Tempering progress had to be paused.
He had to go to the market to purchase a batch of meat first.
Just when he was packing his things and preparing to go out, the restriction outside cave abode was triggered.
Qin Tiexin Open the door.
Nangong Yao stood outside the door, holding a snack box in his hand and smiling.
"Senior sister?" Qin Tiexin was a little surprised.
"Master asked me to come." Nangong Yao handed over the food box, "I said you were in seclusion for so long and I was worried that you would be hungry. I made some Spirit Cuisine by the way, you can try it."
Qin Tiexin took the food box. "Thank you, senior sister."
"You're welcome." Nangong Yao paused and said seriously, "In addition, Master asked me to say something: At the beginning of next month, you will be asked to go to the Heart-Forging Hall to take the weapon refining assessment."
"Assessment?"
"Yes." Nangong Yao nodded, "Master said, you have made great progress in the past three months. The success rate of Spirit Rune Array has reached 80%. You can try to refine Middle-Grade Law Artifact. The assessment content is to forge a Middle-Grade Law Artifact on site, and form a formation of at least three Spirit Rune."
She looked at Qin Tiexin with a smile in her eyes, "Junior brother, come on. If you pass, you will be a serious middle-grade weapon refiner."
Qin Tiexin holds the food box tightly. "Disciple must try his best."
"That's good." Nangong Yao waved his hand, "I'm leaving first. Remember to eat, I added some ingredients specially."
She turned and left, and the green shadow quickly disappeared at the end of the stone path.
Qin Tiexin Return to cave abode and open the food box.
There are four dishes and one soup: braised Rockskin Pig pork, steamed Grass-Horned Deer steak, cold vegetables, and a plate of unknown Demon Beast liver. The soup is an old fire soup that nourishes qi and blood.
Every dish exudes rich Spiritual Qi and Qi and Blood fluctuations.
Qin Tiexin It can be seen that these ingredients are not cheap. Rockskin Pig is the most popular Qi and Blood among the Qi Refining mid-range ones. Grass-Horned Deer meat is tender and nutritious, and the plate of liver has a faint flavor of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast.
Senior sister has spent money.
He sat down cross-legged and started eating according to the method of "Cauldron Eating Art".
After one mouthful of meat, Qi and Blood surges.
This meal is at least enough for him to eat for three days.
After eating, Qin Tiexin washed the food box and put it away, then spread out the pen and paper.
Assessment next month, refine Middle-Grade Law Artifact.
You have to prepare well.
According to Master's habits, he may not be able to refine the heavy-duty Law Artifact that he is best at, but he must also work harder in other aspects.
