The knight in the abyss

Chapter 9 Cultivation methods in the abyss
In a cave not far from the Dwarf Mine, Lancelot was sitting cross-legged on the ground.He has been cultivating here for the past two days, trying to improve his cultivation.

Not that there was anything special about this cave, but simply because the dwarves' thumping was less harsh here.

He found that he no longer needed sleep, and he could naturally enter into meditation after finishing his practice.Just an hour or two of rest in a meditative state can give you the same energy as a full night's sleep.

His cultivation speed is now much slower than when he first sensed qi, but Lancelot also knows that this is the normal situation.The strength that is greatly improved at every turn is nothing but a castle in the air. The most important thing in the process of cultivation is to gather sand into a tower. After a long time, it is possible to return to the river and become a saint.

Naturally, the above words were not from him, but from Han Tianzun, who left the bamboo slips in his cultivation experience.In addition to cultivating every day, Lancelot also voraciously reads the knowledge and experiences related to cultivation in the bamboo slips.

Han Tianzun comes from a world where cultivation is the mainstream. In that world, there are all kinds of magic weapons and medicine pills that can assist cultivation. Some major sects even provide them for free to the children of outstanding disciples. Most of them are occupied by various major forces, but the progress of cultivation can be achieved in one day. In exchange for rich rewards, those who are brave enough can quietly swallow them and make a fortune in silence.

These things are naturally not available in the abyss plane, but Han Tianzun has left the method of alchemy refining, and he can try it if he has the opportunity in the future.

Another thing that made him quite concerned was what Tianzun Han mentioned that day, about the "different" situation of the world's spiritual energy.

In the words of Barende the old dwarf, the Abyssal Plane is simply the trash can, the cesspool of the Master Plane, the final destination of all evil, filth, and depravity.Of course, there is a problem with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that can be absorbed in this world.

His Dantian Qi Sea is currently dominated by his own innate power.Innate power is like an unfathomable sea, deep and calm when there is no wind.The external spiritual energy he absorbed through cultivation was different. They were like rushing magma, roaring waterfalls, powerful but difficult to control.

Lancelot tried to practice a Qi-refining combat skill called Qi Gathering Slash yesterday.The main point of this combat technique is to release the infuriating energy by slashing after it runs through the meridians in a special path.

He used the stone platform on which he sat cross-legged as the object of his experiment.When he used his innate power to exercise, the stone platform was cut into two pieces like a hot knife cutting butter.But when he switched to the aura of heaven and earth on the abyss plane, the giant sword emitted a red light when he started to get lucky, and when he swung it out, the stone platform exploded into more than a dozen pieces the moment it came into contact with the blade.

That's why he's sitting on the ground now.

Although the visual effect of cutting out the explosion on the spot is very cool, in fact, the utilization of energy is very low. If it is more powerful, it is obviously much stronger to use the version of Innate Qi.

Lancelo was also very helpless about this. He tried many methods in the bamboo slips, such as the Bingxin Mantra to resist inner demons, and the Sanqing Book to control emotions. Unfortunately, they didn't work. On the contrary, they calmed his impatience a lot.

He tried again and again, and found that only one method called "Forging the Body with Royal Qi" was effective.When he was running Zhou Tian, ​​if a small wisp of true qi started from his dantian, the effect of carrying it would be to gather a new world of spiritual qi.But if you start from Dantian and gather as much zhenqi as possible, your body will be strengthened under the stimulation of zhenqi.

This kind of training is simply a kind of strength training like self-cultivation, but there are two small additional effects, one can slightly improve the homogeneity of the infuriating energy in the body, and the other is to improve the control of the infuriating qi, and these two points are is what Lancelot needs right now.

Because the power of cultivators is very strong, they hardly ever exercise their bodies deliberately, so they generally only perform such exercises to adjust their physical condition before their achievements are complete and they are about to break through.And the effect of enhancing the homogenization of spiritual energy in the body is also useless for those who practice under normal circumstances.

Cultivators generally focus on improving their realm as soon as possible, because ordinary people have a limited lifespan, and only by breaking through to the next stage can they delay their aging.Lancelot, who has the blessing of the elf, already has a life that is twice as many as ordinary people, and he doesn't mind spending a little more effort to consolidate his strength.

At this time, he noticed that someone had entered the cave, so he ended his cultivation and stood up.

"Lancelot, are you up yet?" Pluto's loud voice came from the hole.

"Even if I was still sleeping, you would wake me up at this moment," Lancelot said helplessly.

"Haha, I'm here to deliver, your order has been completed." Pluto's figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, pulling a small trailer behind him to deliver ore.

Lancelot ran over excitedly after hearing the words.Although he is already a cultivator, he is still not used to the days without armor.

"A knight is also a knight." The armored villain in Lancelot insisted.

Pluto proudly took out a dark green dagger from the trailer. "Enjoy it well, this is the craft of the dwarves. That nasty humanoid fly is also a bit useful for this mouth. My father named it the poisonous kiss."

Lancelot took the dagger and carefully examined it in his hand.This weapon is about the same length as his forearm, and there is no handguard installed, only a special anti-slip treatment is carried out on the hilt.Most of the blade does not have a sharp edge, but it is processed into a three-edged thorn at the end, which looks very sharp.The sword is also equipped with a scabbard made of carapace, which should have the same origin as the short sword itself.

"The hardness of this short sword is not inferior to that of any metal weapon, but its toughness is average, so you can safely use it to stab anywhere you want, but please don't put your life on its blocking performance."

Hearing this, Lancelot tried to hold the sword and made a few thrusting movements, and a terrifying cold light flashed in the air.

Bruto involuntarily shrank his neck and continued to introduce:
"This weapon still retains the venom of the demon, and enemies hit by it will become very weak, uh, if the target is not killed by you on the spot."

"Thank you, I'm very satisfied." Lancelot put away the dagger. "I also love the name Venomous Kiss, it suits it well."

"My dad's always been very creative in naming weapons." Pluto continued digging out of the little trailer. "This is your armor, we have done a little processing at the connection according to your request, you can try it."

Lancelot took over the armor, which was completely disassembled into parts, and found that the moving parts had turned the color of brass, with black spots the size of coins scattered on it.

"That's graphite, we extract it from dragonscale charcoal. They make copper very lubricious, you'll know when you put it on."

Lancelot was curious and put on the armor on the spot.

"Wow, I didn't think you could do it yourself." Pluto marveled at how quickly Lancelot put on a full set of armor without anyone else's help.

Lancelo was also stunned for a moment. The whole body armor was very heavy. It was actually quite difficult to put it on without the assistance of a servant, but he could do it independently now.

It seems that cultivation has greatly improved his physical fitness.

"I practiced specially." Lancelot boasted a little.

He tried to move around a bit, and found that the metal crashing sound was gone, and now it was a sound like sand rubbing against each other. Although it was far from quiet, it was thirty feet away from before. will be heard much better.

"Thank you so much." Lancelot suddenly felt a little ashamed. "I have nothing that can be used as a reward, but I will do my best to ensure your safety on the next trip to Shuangqiao Town."

"You're welcome, but when it comes to the reward..." Pluto suddenly twisted a little. "Well, I use your shield quite well, can you..."

"Haha, no problem, we cooperated very well when you held the shield." Lancelot pointed to the two-handed greatsword leaning against the wall. "I prefer to use this now."

Pluto glanced in awe at the weapon that was nearly two heads taller than him, and said with emotion: "This thing is really majestic, and it is very suitable in this world, but unfortunately we dwarves can't use it - its center of gravity is really It was so high that it was difficult to maintain balance when we were swinging."

Lancelot patted his shoulder with a smile, "When I see the pick now, I feel a dull pain in my knee."

"Haha, the pickaxe is definitely the greatest invention in the world after the forge." Pluto said with a smile. "Okay, the preparations have been completed, we should go."
