Tongtian Bamboo Repair

67 - Difficult practice

However, the difference between this dragon-raising technique and other spells is that in Zhang Miao's opinion, this spell is more like a skill.

There is a difference between spells and exercises.Spells used in combat do not increase the level, while skills increase the level but have no ability to fight.The art of raising dragons is somewhere between the two, because a strong body can also fight, and if you practice this art for a long time, you can slightly increase your mana.This may be a benefit of increased physical fitness.

Anyway, this spell is very interesting.This world of cultivation really has everything.

After understanding this magic, Zhang Miao began to try to practice it.Because this spell is like a Kung Fu method, he can also meditate, chant sutras, and practice it.There is a lot of 'snake language' in the wooden runes that write this spell, which is the sound of snakes 'hissing'.This kind of sound is also difficult to imitate with the human mouth. After all, the human mouth is not as big as a snake's mouth and cannot leak as much wind.

If you want to achieve this effect, you need the help of your lungs. You have to exhale a large amount of air from your lungs, and then rub the flesh on your cheeks to make this sound.As the technique becomes more sophisticated, this friction will expand to the muscles of the whole body.

Ever since, after practicing this technique, Zhang Miao soon felt his lungs burning, and the muscles on his cheeks were unbearably numb, as if there were ants walking around in the muscles, but you couldn't scratch them if you wanted to.

This feeling... is really unbearable.The pain is bearable, but how can I bear this numbness and itching?Some people can withstand knives, swords and stabs, but they can't withstand itching.It can be seen from here that the itching is more torturous than the pain.

The first time he practiced, Zhang Miao only lasted less than ten minutes before scratching his cheek and feeling uncomfortable all over.This shocked Qing Qing, who was looking at him, thinking that he was suffering from some illness.

After she regains her composure, Zhang Miao will continue to practice.

That’s what cultivation is like. You can’t stop practicing just because of pain.If you want to be strong, you must pay a price.

Then more than ten minutes later, Zhang Miao was rolling on the bed in pain again. This time, he scratched his cheeks frantically, wanting to dig out the two pieces of flesh on his cheeks!

Qingqing became even more frightened when she saw Zhang Miao like this.She hugged Zhang Miao and shouted with a cry: "Brother, senior brother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

After a long time, Zhang Miao calmed down.He looked at his bloody cheek and finally became a little scared.He murmured: "Don't be too eager for quick success, otherwise you will be doomed if you don't complete the spell."

He comforted Qingqing and said that he was practicing magic and was not sick.Qingqing was dubious, but finally believed it.

Then in the next few days, Zhang Miao practiced very carefully. He did not dare to practice for too long at a time. He would stop every five minutes to let himself gradually adapt to the numb and itchy feeling.

It’s really hard to practice such magic.

After a few days, Zhang Miao gradually adapted to the discomfort, and then planned to put some pressure on herself.It was at this time that he received a letter from Wu Zhongtang.

[My brother Zhang Miao, seeing a letter is like seeing you in person.I haven’t seen you for a few days and I miss you very much.I don’t know if you are okay in Qingzhumen. Everything is going as usual in Qingzhu Town, so there is no need to worry about me. 】

[Today I received the Five Poison Sacred Sand you sent from Qingzhumen, and I was very happy.I still have a brother in my heart, and I feel very comforted by my brother. 】

[I suddenly remembered something. I don’t know if you have started practicing the technique my brother gave you.If you have already practiced cultivation, I will give you some advice from someone who has experienced it.Taking the Five Poison God Sand, using the toxicity of the God Sand, can numb the numbness in the body and make you feel much better.If you can hold it back, you can treat me like a brother and didn't say anything. 】

[Finally, I wish you success in your practice and build your foundation soon. 】

[Brother, sincerely from the middle hall. 】When Zhang Miao saw this letter, he was not happy at all. Instead, his hands were shaking with anger.

"He must have done it on purpose! He must have done it on purpose! Between the lines, I can already see his bad taste."

"Why didn't you tell me this important information earlier? Do you know how I got here these days?"

"Gan! Surface brothers!"

Zhang Miao was so angry that her mouth twisted.His emotional pain these days has been in vain!
There is a way to cheat, why didn't you tell me earlier?
Zhang Miao was unable to complain.He quickly found the Five Poisons and started refining the Five Poisons Divine Sand.

It didn't take long for him to refine several pieces of Five Poison Divine Sand.With his current strength, it is certainly impossible for him to use particularly high-grade five poison materials.That is, I used some green snakes with bamboo leaves, red-backed toads, fat-tailed geckos, blue-tailed soil scorpions and golden-threaded centipedes.These things are extremely poisonous to ordinary people, but they are just right for him who is at the fourth level of Qi training.

After making the Five Poisons Divine Sand, he picked up a piece of the sacred sand the size of a sycamore seed, hesitated for a moment, then put it into his mouth and swallowed it.

This Five Poison God Sand tastes sour and sweet, and tastes pretty good.Then the next moment, he felt numb in his body, and the poison came up very quickly.

This dose of poison is not enough to kill Zhang Miao.He quickly took advantage of this opportunity and tried to practice the art of raising snakes.

He sucked in the air in big gulps, and then spit it out in big gulps. The air rubbed against his mouth and made a 'hissing' sound.Due to the poisoning, the nerves all over his body are now paralyzed, like a patient under general anesthesia, and the numb and itchy feeling suddenly becomes extremely weak.

In fact, when practicing this technique, the numbness and itching of the muscles is because the muscles are being strengthened.Now that the nerves are paralyzed, Zhang Miao can no longer feel the numbness and itching, but it does not mean that this enhancement no longer exists.

Zhang Miao made a hissing chant of the runes with difficulty. Under the power of the runes, his body was slowly strengthened, and traces of spiritual energy slowly merged into his body.

This time, Zhang Miao practiced for more than an hour. When the effect of the 'anesthetic' wore off and he felt the numbness coming back again, he stopped practicing.

This time's practice was a great success. Zhang Miao felt it carefully, and then a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"That's it. With the help of the Five Poison Divine Sands, I will definitely be able to master this spell very quickly." Zhang Miao thought happily.

At this time, his door was pushed open, and Qingqing came with dinner.As soon as she came in, she saw Zhang Miao lying on the bed like a dead snake. She was so frightened that she quickly put down the food, hurried over and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Miao said calmly this time: "Don't worry, I'm fine now. Don't huff and puff when something happens, you don't have the bearing of a practitioner. Okay, help me up now, I'm a little hungry .”

Although the practice was over, his numbness had not completely passed. His body was still a little soft, and only his mouth was hard.

After Qingqing made sure that he was fine, she lifted him up, then picked up the food and fed it to him one bite at a time...
