Hell Emperor

Chapter 11 Xia Wei-Five Elements

As the sun rises, Xia Wei slowly wakes up.

She sat up and rubbed her hazy eyes, but heard a familiar tone: "Are you awake?"

Xia Wei raised her eyes and saw her master Ye Jie sitting aside. It seemed that she had been waiting for a long time. She suddenly panicked. Then she remembered that halfway through her master's explanation of the exercises, her eyelids were twitching. She never thought that she would die as soon as she closed her eyes. I fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.

She lowered her head and grasped the corners of her clothes with her small and weak fingers: "Master, I'm sorry..."

Ye Jie waved his hand: "No need to apologize. Xiaowei, I ignored your fatigue and dragged you to explain the exercises late at night. Speaking of which, I should be the one to apologize to you."

Hearing this, Xia Wei pursed her lips and smiled, staring at the master with sparkling star eyes. As long as she stayed with her master, she felt at ease even if she was in an ancient temple in a deserted mountain. Under that complete relaxation, she unconsciously fell asleep. Fortunately, her master did not blame her.

"The old saying goes: The day's plan begins in the morning. Now that you're awake, continue practicing the exercises."

Ye Jie took out the classics, and Xia Wei sat down next to him obediently. He slowly opened his mouth and recited the unfinished part for Xia Wei yesterday.

When she woke up, Xia Wei's eyes were full of energy. It was the most insightful moment of the day. She carefully understood Ye Jie's narration, shaking her head from time to time, thoughtfully.

Unknowingly, an hour passed, and Xia Wei, who was doing her exercises on the spot, suddenly stood up, clenched her fists, raised her arms high, and let out a scream. The air waves scattered in all directions, blowing away many cobwebs.

Even Ye Jie, who taught her carefully, felt something at this moment: "...In this way, your turtle hand has reached the entry-level stage. As long as you use this skill, you will have the power of an ox and a horse during the day. After nightfall, The arms can block knives and axes. This technique consumes a lot of money. With your current first-level cultivation, the time it takes to run a cup of tea is already the limit."

At the end, Ye Jie couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of the reincarnation of a true immortal, even the complex and mysterious low-level skills that would take ordinary people decades to master can be mastered within an hour. Learn... Xiaowei, your potential is amazing."

After finishing the exercise, Xia Wei stood next to Ye Jie, listening to the master's praise, with a happy smile on her pretty face. She was about to speak when she heard a cooing sound from her belly. But her words were interrupted.

Hearing this strange sound, Xia Wei's face turned red. Ye Jie just shook his head and smiled: "The Qi training and body building practiced by human immortals requires a large amount of food as a supplement. If you can't even eat enough, how can you make your body stronger? ? Running exercises will also speed up the body's consumption, and it is normal to feel hungry."

Xia Wei rubbed her empty stomach: "It's the depth of winter now, and there's not much food nearby. It seems that I will only be hungry until I arrive at Qingshi Town."

Ye Jie smiled: "Who said there is no food nearby? Come with me."

With that said, Ye Jie took Xia Wei to an open space outside the ancient temple. Xia Wei looked left and right and saw no signs of animal activity, so she had to look at the master for help, but heard him say:

"As a ghost in the early stage of the second-level soul-building realm, I can only sense the breath thirty steps away. Regarding the situation below the earth, the range of perception is even more limited. One foot is almost the limit. Note that ghosts in the fifth-level immortal realm With cultivation, just one thought can reach a range of ten miles."

Xia Wei, who was ice-snowy and smart, immediately understood what Ye Jie meant: "Master, are you saying that the food is hidden underground?"

Ye Jie nodded and stretched out his hand to sweep away a layer of snow under his feet, revealing a narrow hole about an arm's length wide, with traces of animals scratching nearby.

Ye Jie added: "Xiaowei, although you are not cultivating the way of heaven, you still need to master the basic operation of the five elements. The first-level cultivation of the state of mind is enough to release the weak power of the five elements to achieve creation." Fire creates water, wind creates thunder.”

Xia Wei was a little surprised: "Don't you need any skills to do this?"

Ye Jie shook his head: "That is just the basic manifestation of the five elements in nature, and it does not require any skills to be used. As for the advanced use of the power of the five elements, such as condensing fireballs to bombard the enemy, condensing ice arrows to kill the enemy, that requires "Kung Fu."

"Now, let me teach you how to operate the power of the five elements. Feel the spiritual power flowing in your body. When the spiritual power circulates around the sky, it should not flow through the Dantian Qi sea like the way of human immortals, but flow through the chest and abdomen... …”

Under Ye Jie's teachings, Xia Wei closed her eyes and luckily found the doorway quickly. Spiritual power gathered around her, and her face was not as rosy as when she was practicing the way of immortality. Instead, it was filled with the power of the five elements. With the blessing, it becomes even more majestic.

After a stick of incense passed, Xia Wei opened her eyes. The light in her eyes was as bright as a sharp blade. She stretched out her index finger, and a small flame burst out from her fingertips.

Ye Jie said with emotion: "Although the flame is just a small cluster, it seems that a gust of wind can blow it out, but that means that you have mastered the basic operation of the power of the five elements. Ordinary monks who follow the path of immortals can The magic of heaven circulates spiritual energy throughout the sky, which can cause all the muscles and veins to be severed, and even lead to the madness. It is undoubtedly seeking death, but you have the second-level talent: the meridians are penetrated, but you can control it easily. "

While Xia Wei was practicing her skills, Ye Jie also picked up some humus leaves and piled them at the entrance of the narrow cave. After letting Xia Wei light them, he then said:

"Among the five elements, thunder belongs to gold, and wind belongs to wood. Wood helps the fire, and wind also helps the fire. You have tried to use your spiritual power to create fire, now try to use your spiritual power to create wind."

Xia Wei took a step forward and closed her eyes to gather her Qi. In front of her, the cold fallen leaves burned very slowly, and no smoke rose for a long time.

After completing a cycle of Qi circulation, Xia Wei focused her expression and pushed her hands forward to send a continuous breeze to the front. Gradually, the choking thick smoke rose up and was carried by the wind into the narrow cave.

Ye Jie looked around and soon saw a faint smoke floating under the snow twenty steps away.

He stretched out his hand and concentrated, and the black rope lasso was ready to go. A black shadow suddenly jumped out from the place where the smoke rose, and the black shadow fled to the distance. Ye Jie, who had expected it, threw the lasso far away, and the black shadow was immediately bound in place, and was finally pulled in front of Ye Jie.

Seeing this, Xia Wei, who had finished her Qi circulation, also showed a look of surprise.

What Ye Jie pulled in front of was a fat white hare. Xia Wei grabbed the hare's long ears and lifted it up. The heavy weight was enough for her to have several meals.

Xia Wei reached out and looked at the hare. Her expression suddenly froze. Ye Jie didn't notice her. He just said:

"As the old saying goes: A cunning rabbit has three burrows. It's not surprising that a rabbit hole has three or four holes. If you... Hey, why did you let it run away?"

What puzzled Ye Jie was that Xia Wei actually half-crouched down and put down the hard-earned hare, letting it quickly disappear from sight in the snow. It was not easy to find it now. The delicious meal flew away.

Xia Wei stood in the snow, with a pair of pigtails fluttering behind her head. She raised her head, with a little frost on her slightly curved eyelashes, and her innocent face was full of stubbornness: "It has a baby, so it can't be eaten."

"Really..."

Listening to the rumbling sound in Xia Wei's stomach, seeing her thin body but firm eyes, Ye Jie sighed with heartache, it seems that she will have to starve for a while in the next journey.
