After replenishing the Qi and Blood power consumed last night, before dawn, Ming'an was still sleeping, and Qin Tiexin was already standing under the locust tree, with his feet spread apart and his knees slightly bent.

He first used breathing techniques to reawaken the vortex in his chest, and Qi and Blood began to spin, faster and faster. He tried to direct the power in the vortex toward his left fist, pushing it from the middle of the chest to the shoulder, then over the elbow, and finally to the fist surface.

When he reached the fist surface, he followed the method of exerting force in Jade Slip and violently sent it forward.

Dark red Qi and Blood poured out from the fist and did not scatter in all directions. Instead, it suspended in mid-air and slowly gathered into a vague circular area.

It worked on the first try. As Jade Slip said, it's not difficult to get started.

The area was not big, only about one foot away from him, about three feet in diameter and about one foot in height, just enough to wrap a person.

Qin Tiexin could feel that there was an invisible thread connecting him to the ball of Qi and Blood. He tried to withdraw it, but Qi and Blood slowly retracted into his fist and flowed back into his body along the meridians.

He breathed a sigh of relief. The first step was completed, and the second step was also a beginning.

I originally thought I might save some time today, but if I continued practicing, a problem arose.

The first is the issue of release. Jade Slip requires double fists. In addition to being able to release faster, there is another reason why the two fists can be positioned better.

But he only has one punch, Qi and Blood has only one outlet, and the direction it comes out is relatively single.

The field always moved to the right. The left edge was blurry, but the right edge was very clear. He tried to use his feet as a flood outlet and pumped out Qi and Blood from the soles of his feet. But in that case, the field would spread close to the ground and was not high enough to suppress the standing enemies.

Moreover, the coordination of punches and kicks is very awkward. As soon as the feet move, the condensed Earth Wheel falls apart.

The second problem is more troublesome.

Accuracy.

He tried to release the domain to a location three feet away. It was a piece of Shitou that he placed on the ground that was as tall as a person and used it as a target.

Qi and Blood gushed out, and when the field finally took shape, it was three or four feet away from the Shitou.

Try it again, two feet to the left. Qin Tiexin tried seven or eight times in a row. Only two or three times could it cover it perfectly, and the other times were slightly offset.

Moreover, this kind of offset is related to the distance. Within a range of one foot, it can basically be completely covered. When the distance exceeds three feet, it starts to shift. Many times, it can only cover about half. Once the distance exceeds ten feet later, the offset may be even more severe.

Qin Tiexin took back Qi and Blood and stood there frowning.

His control of power has always been good, but it is on his fists and on the hilt of the knife. He has never been good at this kind of precise remote positioning operation. This is similar to the control of objects. He rarely practiced this kind of method before. Even with Falling Star Spear, the only one he is good at, he still needs to use Divine Sense to constantly adjust the direction.

The release of such a martial skill does not give you any room to adjust. Every time it is released, it will freeze there and cannot move at all. Although it seems that the offset distance is not far and it can cover most of it within three feet, this is not the case at all in actual combat.

In actual combat, the enemy will not stand still, and the area is three to five feet away. As long as the opponent's reaction is not slow, he will hide out with a slight movement.

He will get nothing from the areas he devotes his efforts to.

After thinking over and over again, Qin Tiexin came up with a solution that was not a solution.

Enlarge the field.

Expanded from three feet to six feet.

A six-foot circular area, with an error of two or three feet, the enemy is still inside. Although Qi and Blood costs twice as much, it is better than missing. After you become more familiar with it, you can slowly move back.

He made up his mind and practiced six feet.

Throughout the morning, he stood under the locust tree, putting it in and collecting it again and again.

The dark red field expanded in front of us and then retracted, and a few fallen leaves on the ground were pressed to the ground, motionless.

Ming'an came out to pour water and saw him standing there, his face suddenly red and dark. The little monk stood for a while and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what are you practicing?"

"Control." Qin Tiexin said.

Practice again in the afternoon.

By the time the sun turns west, Qin Tiexin can stably project the six-foot field to three feet away. There is still an error, but it has been reduced to within one foot. For actual combat, this accuracy is enough.

A deviation of one foot only occupies a corner of the six-foot field and does not affect the control effect.

He stopped practicing and stood in the yard to stretch his hands and feet. After practicing this day, his arms and chest were very sore. He had consumed 7788 Qi and Blood. His face became a little pale, even his lips lost color, and even the Fire of Life inside his chest became a little darker.

This is the amazing effect of his Qi and Blood reserve. If it were an ordinary monk, he would have already lost Qi and Blood at this moment.

Qin Tiexin walked to the backyard and set up the big tripod.

I need to stew a few more pots of meat today.

He took out several large pieces of Demon Beast meat from the two Storage Bags given by Du Heng. They were all made from Golden Core Early Stage, with thick fat and a strong smell of blood.

Put the meat pieces into the pot, add water, and seal the lid of the cauldron. He lit Red Luan Heart Flame under the cauldron. Flame heats the bottom of the cauldron evenly. Flame has a higher temperature and can stew and stew faster than Heating Spirit Rune.

After simmering for an hour, open the lid of the cauldron, white steam will rise, and the aroma of meat will penetrate your nose.

Qin Tiexin sat beside the cauldron, grabbed a piece, blew on it, and bit into it. The meat was so stewed that it melted in the mouth, and the juice went down the throat. A hot force rose from the stomach and spread to the limbs.

He ate one piece after another, several pots of meat down, until Central Heaven reached the moon, he felt something real in his stomach.

Fire of Life was burning vigorously in the ventricle, refining the essence of the meat little by little and reinjecting it into the meridians. The blood became thicker again, even a little thicker than yesterday.

Qin Tiexin clenched his fists, and his bones cracked.

Qi and Blood seems to have risen a little more.

He packed up the tripod, and there was no sound in the west wing. Ming'an had already fallen asleep.

Qin Tiexin walked to the center of the yard, sat cross-legged, and continued practicing "True Fire Furnace Scripture".

The day after tomorrow is the competition for weapon refining, so you can't miss every moment to improve yourself.

The third day is the formation assessment.

When Qin Tiexin arrived at the school grounds, there were already a lot of people sitting in the stands. There were fewer people participating today than Alchemy, but there were still sixty or seventy people.

When he came this time, in addition to helping Liu Suifeng, he also wanted to know more about the game.

On the weapon refining path, he has already been able to refine Supreme-Grade Law Artifact. Going further up, he can reach Spirit Artifact, which contains precious materials.

The biggest difference between Spirit Artifact and Law Artifact, in addition to the difference in raw materials, is that Spirit Artifact requires a complete formation to integrate all functions to bring out the characteristics of Spirit Artifact. Unlike Law Artifact, just a few Spirit Rune can be put together.

When many weapon refiners reach this stage, they have to understand some principles of formation.

Qin Tiexin knows almost nothing about battles. Today I just took the opportunity to observe and see if I can figure out anything.
