Longevity begins with the sword of ignorance

Chapter 17 Trait: Shadow of Spirit Beast
Zhong Cang's attention was first attracted by the upper limit of the proficiency of the Five Beasts Accumulating Body Art without looking at the characteristics of increasing combat power for the first time.

"Is the upper limit of level 2 proficiency 1800? It's higher than 800 (level 2) of Shiqijue, but far lower than 3600 of Wuming Xinyijian... Sure enough, among the three exercises, Wuming Xinyijian is the most difficult It is the strongest, and much stronger than the other two exercises."

After sighing with emotion, Zhong Cang focused his attention on the characteristic of the shadow of the spirit beast.

Body cultivation is mainly about oneself, and the shadow of the spirit beast derived from the five beasts' body art is not the ability for Zhong Cang to summon the phantom of the spirit beast to assist in combat.

Especially let Zhong Cang imitate the figure of the spirit beast, and obtain the blessing of the power of the spirit beast.

In layman's terms, it means that Zhong Cang can activate a buff through a specific gesture.

Among them, the shadow of the white tiger (tiger stretching its waist) increases bone strength.

The Shadow of the Exploding Ape (the ape beating his chest) increases the muscle explosion.

Linglu stimulates the five internal organs by sitting cross-legged and breathing, and then activates the body's self-healing and recovery ability. This cannot be used in wartime, but it is used for healing and recovery, but the effect is just right.

The ichthyosaur made Zhong Cang raise his hands above his head and twist like a snake. After doing this, water vapor would gushes out from Zhong Cang's body, making his skin smooth.

This kind of posture can not only reduce the friction force of the air, but also remove some blows from the smooth skin... Of course, it cannot defend against sharp cuts and flame burns.

The last giant mountain tortoise is a pure defense ability. After posing as a spirit turtle and sitting still, Zhong Cang's defense will be greatly enhanced.

Of course, everything has a price.

Exercising the posture of the spirit beast and gaining the blessing of the power of the spirit beast, Zhong Cang is not without any loss.

Reiki is the foundation of monks' practice and the source of all their extraordinary abilities.

By posing a special posture, you can get strength blessings, which is also the effect of aura.

In other words, every time Zhong Cang uses the shadow of the spirit beast, Zhong Cang will consume a lot of spiritual energy.

At the same time, since Zhong Cang is only proficient at the level of the martial arts, Zhong Cang's understanding of the five beasts' body art is not yet deep, so now, he can only possess the shadow of a spirit beast, and cannot take care of the five beasts at the same time, so that the five blessings will come... No , is the presence of five beasts.

"Besides, because of the shadow of the beast, my cultivation method has also changed. After that, every time I practice, I can be possessed by the shadow of the beast. This should greatly increase the efficiency of my cultivation and exercise..."

Zhong Cang didn't think much about this matter.

It's not that he doesn't care about cultivation, it's that the consecutive defeats have accumulated countless fighting spirit and anger in Zhong Cang's heart.

At this moment, his cultivation base (physique) has advanced, and he has acquired an explosive characteristic, which greatly increases Zhong Cang's combat power.

He can't wait to avenge his shame!

"Flame Spirit Butterfly, here I come!"

……

With a fighting spirit in his heart, Zhong Cang came to the training ground, waiting for the arrival of the flame spirit butterfly.

However, what made him frown was that after spending the whole morning under the tree, he didn't find the figure of the flame spirit butterfly.

In the afternoon, she didn't come either.

Such a scene made Zhong Cang a little depressed.

"Aren't you coming? It's really unlucky to give up practicing against me on the day I advanced..."

Unable to avenge his shame, Zhong Cang showed a bitter expression.

This scene was seen by You Tao, and he thought Zhong Cang felt bitter because he was 'abandoned'.

"A few days ago, Brother Zhong was able to defeat Yan Lingdie. Now, he has been unable to win more than once. That lady doesn't even want to come. If it were me, I would feel bad too. '

Thinking this way, he didn't gloat, but came here on purpose to comfort Zhong Cang.

"Brother Zhong, don't worry too much. The Immortal Cultivation family has a lot of resources. It's normal for us not to be able to keep up with their progress. Your strength is already very good."

"Also, don't worry too much about making money. With your swordsmanship, some people are willing to ask you to be your partner."

"Uh……"

Zhong Cang could feel the reason why You Tao came to comfort him, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say that you made a mistake.I am not bitter because of being abandoned, but because my strength has improved greatly, but my opponent has run away.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

After echoing a few words, Zhong Cang closed his eyes and meditated under the tree.

He picked up the practice of Wuming Xinjian and Qijue again.

On this day, the flame spirit butterfly did not come.

The next day, it still didn't come.

And just when Zhong Cang thought that the flame spirit butterfly would not come again in a short time, on the third day, the flame spirit butterfly reappeared on the training ground.

The moment Zhong Cang saw her, the fighting spirit he had accumulated for three days was completely aroused, and his eyes became sharp instantly.

Sword cultivators focus on mind and can overwhelm people with mind.

A Jindan-level swordsman can directly break the enemy's mind with the sword intent, making the enemy fearful and dare not resist.

A sword cultivator at the Nascent Soul level can even use sword intent to directly kill the soul of the enemy.

Although Zhong Cang has not reached this level, but under the possession of Jianxin, the person under his gaze will still feel his heart.

Just like the Flaming Spirit Butterfly, when Zhong Cang's sharp eyes stared at her, her tender body, which had become hot from practicing the Heavenly Flame Spiritual Sutra, felt a chill.

This strangeness was noticed by Yan Lingdie, and she subconsciously looked towards the direction that aroused her body's reaction.

Then, she saw Zhong Cang with sharp and bright eyes.

After discovering Zhong Cang, Yan Lingdie was taken aback for a moment, and after a moment of hesitation, she still walked towards Zhong Cang with her sword in hand.

Shui Bo next to him also saw Zhong Cang.

After discovering that his young lady was walking towards Zhong Cang, he hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Miss, you have an appointment and don't have much time."

"I know. But it won't take much time to deal with him. This clock... what's his name?"

After thinking for a while, but not expecting Zhong Cang's name, Yan Lingdie shook his head and said indifferently:
"Forget it, it's not important... This partner is the first person to defeat me on the training ground, and he is also the one who taught me how to fight. It is an important node in my path of cultivation."

"Although he can't keep up with my progress now, I want to say goodbye to him formally, and it's also a farewell to me, who is weak."

"Also, Uncle Shui, after this battle, give him fifty spirit stones."

Spirit stones are precious, but Shui Bo not only did not object to Yan Lingdie's act of rewarding fifty spirit stones, but he nodded in agreement and said:
"He has helped you, miss, and he really should be rewarded."

It can only be said that in the world of cultivating immortals, because of the gap in strength, the gap in wealth has also become ridiculously large.

……

While giving orders to the protector, Yan Lingdie looked at Zhong Cang, lost in memory.

She recalled every detail of the battle with Zhong Cang, the unwillingness to lose to Zhong Cang at the beginning, the excitement of winning with difficulty, and now, the easy victory—boring.

Looking at the powerful enemy in the past, now it is hardly his own enemy, and the young Yan Lingdie suddenly feels that everything is right and wrong.

At the same time, he also deeply understood the meaning of what his mother said, the road of cultivation is a lonely road.

"In the process of practicing, I will meet countless people, but not everyone can accompany me to the end, so, do you have to know how to give up... Mother, I have understood the truth you said."

"...Shui Bo, increase the rewarded spirit stones to one hundred."

Zhong Cang didn't know what Yan Lingdie was thinking, but he could hear Yan Lingdie's words.

After learning that she was going to reward him with a hundred spirit stones, Zhong Cang, who was not stupid, instantly understood that in the eyes of Yan Lingdie, this was his last battle with him.

Thinking of this, Zhong Cang laughed at himself.

"It's really underestimated."
