Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 213 Ancient Qigong

At the bottom of Dongting Lake, Xu Shen had unspeakable grievances.

Everyone can see how rare the elemental seeds are.

However, compared to the other six elements, the difficulty of obtaining the water element is even more hellish.

Because most of the water soul species in the world are only born in the ocean.

The sea is the paradise of sirens and a forbidden zone for humans.

How could Xu Shen, who was in a world surrounded by sea monsters, obtain the water element seed?

This old dragon must have made a mistake.

In order to save his life, he didn't say stupid things like "Are you blind?"

After thinking about it, he took out everything in the storage ring.

Xu Shen didn't have the habit of carrying valuables with him, so there weren't many items in his storage ring.

In addition to some ice and fire soul seed fragments prepared for Xiaobai, half a jar of blood wine that was searched from Wang Yue's warehouse and not finished drinking, as well as some daily necessities and magic weapons, magic stones, potions and a few books that have not been finished reading, the only things left are the residual souls, strange bones, strange hairs and other things obtained from killing monsters along the way.

There is no way these things can be connected to the water element...

Before he finished ordering, Xu Shen's eyes fixed and he suddenly saw the heart of ice and snow that sealed Wu Ku.

Because of Ding Yumian, he knew a lot about the victims.

The elemental talents of the victims are also called natural soul seeds, which are a bit like the enhanced version of Mu Ningxue's natural spirit seeds, and will evolve naturally with cultivation.

Wu Ku's cultivation is at the super level. Logically speaking, his natural soul seed must have evolved to the heavenly seed level.

and so……

He opened the seal and released Wu Ku who was still frozen.

"Is he the one you want?"

The purple-gold dragon's eyes narrowed slightly.

She only felt a very weak fluctuation of the water-type heavenly seed, but she never thought that the person carrying the heavenly seed was actually a human being.

"I'm going to leave this person here. You can do whatever you want with him. When I get out, I will find a way to rescue you."

Xu Shen struck while the iron was hot and threw out the free promise without blinking an eye, fearing that the dragon would kill him after he had done his job... no, he would rather destroy the bridge after crossing it.

A hint of mockery flashed across the purple-gold dragon's eyes.

If she had not trusted humans so easily, she would not have ended up like this.

There is no creature in the world more cunning than humans.

"Teng Yi."

The lake was surging, and suddenly, a snake-like creature appeared next to the Nine Palaces Formation.

Its dark green eyes were particularly creepy in the water, and a pair of huge wings grew from its neck, extending out like black clouds.

The familiar fishy smell made Xu Shen instantly know who was coming.

It was the guy who kidnapped him!
There are also sisters Liu Xian and Liu Ru.

They had just started on the path of magic, how could they survive in front of such a behemoth?

One day, I will kill this beast and avenge them both!
Xu Shen was sad and angry in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.

Teng flapped his wings lightly, and the endless lake water formed a vortex with Xu Shen as the center.

The oppressive pressure rotates with the vortex, and wave after wave comes like a tide.

Xu Shen saw the snake's mocking look and understood their intention.

Just like a cat playing with a mouse, it didn't want him to die too easily.

As time goes by, the physical torture has become numb.

Under this high pressure, the mental strength became more condensed.

This kind of progress is more obvious than the effect of Yabota in the Imperial Capital Academy.

However, compared to this insignificant benefit, the greater danger was that he could no longer withstand the increasingly powerful water pressure.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the ancient inheritance he obtained from the Demonic Grottoes.

Ancient humans practiced both physical and magical skills, and their combat power was comparable to demons of the same level, but the difficulty of practicing was extremely harsh.

These people were called Qi Refiners in Shenzhou before the Ancient King.

As the ancient king unified the country, the simple, easy-to-use and more universal star system became increasingly prosperous, and the inheritance of Qi Refiners was almost destroyed.

Xu Shen had always been afraid to give this exquisite inheritance a try because of the conflict between his cultivation system and his fear. Now that his death was approaching, if he didn't give it a try, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Observe the way of heaven, follow the way of heaven, and that's all. There are five thieves in heaven, and those who see them will prosper. The five thieves are in the heart, and they are carried out in heaven. The universe is in the hands, and all changes are born in the body..."

Although the sentences were obscure, the mental methods that I had memorized by heart emerged in my mind.

Maybe it was because of his special physique, or maybe it was the special environment created by the powerful pressure of this vortex.

The "Qi" that according to traditional records takes years or even decades to sense flowed into his body without hindrance.

These "Qi" gather in the limbs and bones, and then flow into the spiritual world.

However, the problem that his mental power, magic power and "Qi" were incompatible never happened from beginning to end. There was no conflict between the three, and they blended together harmoniously.

The two nebulae expanded and contracted like they were breathing, absorbing magical energy twice as fast as usual!
The meridians and acupoints throughout the body were opened one by one as if there were no obstacles.

After one cycle is completed, the meridians in the whole body will be connected.

Xu Shen could feel that his physical fitness seemed to have improved qualitatively.

An inexplicable enlightenment came to my mind.

No wonder the magic of meditation and this ancient mental method seem to have the same origin. This star system is clearly derived from the Qigong technique of the pre-Qin period!
Although it cut out the overly complicated meridian circulation and visualization methods, and castrated the ability to nourish the body and soul.

However, this does not mean that the Star System is simple.

The fact that it could prosper for thousands of years and even give rise to a brilliant magical civilization shows how exquisite it is.

The result of simplifying things is an incredibly low entry threshold - even if you are as stupid as a pig, you can awaken magic by pressing your hand on the guiding stone, and as long as you have enough resources, you can raise it to the intermediate or even advanced level.

Xu Shen suddenly understood the thoughts of this great emperor.

Burning books was not his original intention. What he wanted was a world where everyone learned the Dharma and everyone was like a dragon.

After a thousand years, Xu Shen once again appreciated the extraordinary spirit of this ancestor!

After another cycle was completed, Xu Shen opened his eyes unconsciously. The movement of the dragon in the Nine Palaces Formation attracted his attention.

She spat out an oval dragon egg.

The egg is like a water blue transparent crystal but is covered with cracks. There is purple-gold mist lingering on it, and you can vaguely see a mini dragon curled up inside.

The dragon claw stretched out, and the ice wrapped around Wu Ku shattered.

With a muffled groan, the monk who had planned to shine in the battle against the sea monsters went to the West to meet the Buddha.

Wu Ku's spiritual sea, which was supposed to be illusory, condensed into a solid entity in the dragon's claws.

A water-shaped substance condensed and caused Xu Shen's pupils to shrink.

Having seen the fluctuations of the light-type heavenly seed, he could vaguely recognize what this thing was.

This unprecedented method made him feel frightened.

If this technology of extracting elemental species from corpses is mastered by humans, it will be like opening Pandora's box, causing endless killings.

At this time, Teng Yi's attention was also attracted by what the dragon was doing, and he gradually relaxed the vortex water pressure on Xu Shen.

A dragon and a snake looked forward to watching the water element seed merge into the dragon egg.

As the heavenly seed was absorbed, the egg showed no reaction at all.

Xu Shen's visible purple-gold eyes gradually became anxious.

Every second was so hard to bear, until...

"Roar!"

The mournful and desperate roar of the dragon resounded throughout the heaven and earth.

The violent dragon body struggled and twisted violently, causing the chains to rattle.

The eight stone pillars emitted dark evil energy, which continued along the chains and continuously corroded the dragon's body, leaving its skin and flesh torn apart.

Countless dragon scales fell along with purple-gold dragon blood.

Across the formation, Xu Shen seemed to see the old mother's pain and hatred.

As the real dragon became angry, Teng Yi also trembled all over, and a trace of fear flashed in his dark green eyes.

Xu Shen suddenly felt that the water pressure in the vortex was much stronger.

The body was compressed smaller and smaller, blood vessels had burst, and the blood dyed the vortex blood red.

Under such high pressure, his mental power was rising rapidly. The shackles of the early stage of the fourth realm were quickly broken, and he entered the middle, high and peak stages of the fourth realm in a blink of an eye. He condensed it repeatedly until his soul was on the verge of collapse...

At this moment, the little fox who was sleeping soundly in the contract space suddenly opened his eyes.
