What is Qi and what is technique
Ever since he saw another kind of "sky full of stars", this question has been deeply rooted in Xia Fan's mind.
In the eyes of outsiders, he may be extremely hard-working and spend all his free time practicing, but in fact, he never forgets to think and explore while practicing Qi. Although what he could do at that time was very limited, he did not follow the instructions of his master, but tried as much as possible.
For example, if you want to trigger a complete technique, medicine or materials are indispensable, and such things are often directly or indirectly related to the technique itself, and the requirements are not limited. If this connection is seen as the reaction of consciousness to matter, then what is its scope? A small piece of beeswax can cast palm flames, as can a large handful of sawdust, but the latter is much weaker and has almost no practical value. That's why everyone chooses the former as a standard medicinal material. It is not necessary.
So could there be a material more suitable than beeswax
Xia Fan doesn't know.
He didn't have the energy to study every alchemy, especially while wandering.
In several years, he only studied one technique.
Among all the techniques taught by a master, the only one that can be considered an attack method is "shock technique".
—Three more charms fell off the demon's belly one after another.
Even if Xia Fan didn't look up, he knew who the empty black ropes were coming towards.
He didn't even have a chance to touch the talisman.
Within a second or two at most, Mei will surround him. Even if he can escape by chance, he will never be able to avoid the joint strangulation of several ropes.
Without the guidance of the talisman, it would be a two-level technique at most.
But Xia Fan had no choice at this moment.
Without thinking, he touched his neck and pulled off the pendant around his neck. After handing over the medical bag, he kept this thing alone and made it into a pendant to carry with him in case of accidents.
Xia Fan believes that this material is a unique primer in the world, and no one has used it except him.
This is also his trump card!
Xia Fan lifted the pendant and already constructed the entire process of the spell in his mind -
"The earthquake technique returns to Shen, thunder!"
For a moment, he felt that Mei had rushed in front of him, and the black rope above his head was only a short distance away. However, compared with the power of nature, they are not much different from stillness. The next second, the two were still very close to him, but an extremely dazzling blue light came first and suddenly filled his entire field of vision!
…
"Thunder?" Ba Xingtian showed a slightly surprised expression.
A white mark suddenly appeared in the dark night, as if splitting the sky into two, and its landing point was on the break of the city wall.
It came and went quickly, disappearing almost in the blink of an eye, but it was definitely not an illusion. With a deafening explosion, the whole Qingshan Town seemed to shake!
After the thunder rolled over, a new flame appeared - it came from within the city walls. It was just a spark at first, but it soon spread into a raging fire. Under the lightning strike, all the wooden beams were ignited, and heat waves and thick smoke rolled upward along the fractures until new flames burst out at the top of the city wall.
Suddenly there was a huge torch in the middle of the Western Wall!
The bright light faded the shadows of everything, and the charm that climbed up the wall was fixed in place like a sculpture, while the demon was wailing and struggling in the fire, trying to escape, but in the face of this fire from the sky, it was destined to be a futile effort. .
The invigilator Shen Chun naturally knew why his boss was surprised. Among all alchemy techniques, Zhen Technique can be regarded as the group with the fewest masters. Not only are there few people with relevant talents, but there are also few actual users. This is not because the shock technique is less effective, on the contrary, its effect in dealing with evil spirits is more significant than that of the separation technique. Therefore, there is a saying that "with the appearance of thunder, evil spirits can easily disappear". The biggest problem with the earthquake technique is the introduction. Among the thunder techniques recorded so far, the raw materials basically involve lightning strike wood, and regardless of the material grade of lightning strike wood, the lowest price is the same as a life-size gold leaf. Precisely because this thing is extremely difficult to collect, and it only happens once in a few years if you are unlucky, it makes it difficult to practice Zhen Shu.
An alchemy can be mastered through practice and repeated practice. If the introduction is so rare that you can't even see it, how can there be more people using it
But the thunder in front of me was astonishing, and it didn't look like a stranger's work at all. Instead, it looked like the result of countless efforts.
As an independent candidate, Xia Fan has no resources to practice the earthquake technique. Either he lied about his origins, or he was extremely lucky and happened to bump into a tree struck by lightning somewhere. But Shen Chun doesn't think the possibility of the latter is very high - after all, the price of lightning strike wood is there. If ordinary people have such an opportunity, as long as they sell the wood in batches, the income will be enough to last for several lifetimes. Is there any need to take the alchemist exam
"Sir..." Just as he was about to launch a thorough investigation of Xia Fan, he was interrupted by a burst of hearty laughter from his immediate superior.
"Hahahaha, this military examination is really the most exciting one in the past!" Ba Xingtian said, as if he didn't care how an unorganized sect mastered the earthquake technique to such an extent, "I thought that if the city was destroyed, it might be possible. This person was forced to show off. Unexpectedly, he chose to take the initiative to prevent the situation from falling into the mud, and he also accomplished it so well. His courage and means are the best choices!" After saying this, he looked at the short man, " How about it, you can't find fault this time, right? It's just the materials needed for the shock technique, I'm afraid it's not very good... "
"It's just a piece of wood struck by lightning, so what does it matter if what he wants is meteorite iron and soul jade?" The short man said indifferently, "Do you think I will lack these foreign objects?"
"That's true." Ba Xingtian stroked his beard, "But I heard that those who are naturally good at shock techniques have strong and violent tempers and are difficult to get along with. The more talented he is, the harder it will be to control him."
"Isn't that better?" The short man chuckled, "If this person is at the mercy of others, it will be the same for anyone else. How can I beat my brothers and sisters? It's just a pity..."
"What's a pity?"
"He's not much of a listener."
The two looked at each other for a moment and laughed at the same time.
Only Shen Chun was trembling when he heard this, and his back felt cold. With the short man's attitude, how could he feel that if the other party was the listener, he would do the same? As for the question of how Xia Fan obtained the Lightning Strike Wood, it is not worth mentioning compared to the listener. Had he known this, Shen Chunzhen would not have wanted to come with the two of them to observe the Shikao test at close range. However, Lord Ba Xingtian is his immediate boss. Who said that speaking frankly in person is not another form of trust? Therefore, no matter how heavy it was, he could only stay calmly at this moment.
"Okay," Ba Xingtian stopped laughing and ordered to Shen Chun, "The exam is over. Let the people below restart the formation and clean up the mess."
"Now?" he asked unexpectedly, "It's just past midnight..."
"There is no point in taking the exam anymore. Even the devil can't cross the city wall. Do you think those charms are still useful?" The other party waved his hand, turned and walked downstairs, "This is enough."
…
When the thunder resounded over Qingshan Town, Li woke up from his chaotic thoughts.
She held the bandage on the wound and walked slowly to the sealed window. Through the wooden boards nailed to it, the fox demon could vaguely see the flickering light of fire not far away.
Did you even use the shock technique
She seemed to be able to imagine how intense the confrontation outside was.
This is the human test—recruiting all the Qi-entrainers and trying their best in a nearly actual combat exercise. Only the winner can cross the threshold and become a member of the Privy Council. This shows that she will face The right behemoth is unfathomable.
When Xia Fan invited her to go to Shangyuan, Gyeonggi Province, she found that the biggest feeling in her heart was fear. You can be strong-willed with your words, and you can keep your opponent in front of you, but you can't deceive yourself with your actual thoughts. Even Li herself was surprised. She was obviously not afraid of death, but when she thought of being so close to the monster that even her master didn't dare to resist, she found it hard to sleep peacefully.
It was as if this fear came from the depths of his soul.
It was not that Li had not considered leaving without saying goodbye after recovering from his injury. Anyway, with Xia Fan's level, it was impossible to keep an eye on her. The road to Shangyuan was long, and as long as she told the other party everything she had heard before they parted, it wouldn't be considered a repudiation - after all, wasn't this what the other party wanted? There's no way he really wants to stay with the fox demon.
Revenge against the Privy Council must be considered in the long run...
Until this thunder sounded.
In Li's eyes, the candidates in the small town were timid and clumsy, and most of them were only interested in profit. Normally, she would not look down upon them at all. But even this group of people will risk everything for a qualified spot, fight hard, and fight in the wild night to this point. This will was like thunder, pulling her out of her worries.
That's right, so what if you cooperate with the alchemist
What about going to Gyeonggi
What she has to do is almost impossible. Is it really useful to follow the rules and think long term
If someone is willing to come into contact with the demon, it can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She should make the most of it instead of being hesitant.
The Privy Council in Gyeonggi is indeed terrible, but if you want to find your master, it is a matter of time to face it head-on. Otherwise, no matter how many candidates you scare away, it will not shake its foundation.
As a demon, Li originally thought that she would never have a good impression of Lei Ming, but at this moment, she unexpectedly felt that Lei Ming was not bad at all—
Human candidates can all go forward, so how could she lose to these people
…
After the blue light dissipated, Mei no longer existed, and a huge gap appeared in the demon's abdomen, and black air spurted out along with its wail, as if it was its blood.
Xia Fan retracted his hand, but the touch of the pendant still remained between his fingers.
That was the answer he spent several years searching for.
For the thunder technique, is there a more suitable material than thunder wood
A magnet wrapped with copper wire is what it is.
Red copper alone is not enough, nor is it just a piece of magnet. Only when the former is thinned little by little and tightly wrapped around the latter can such a remarkable effect be exerted.
If this connection is also one of the reactions of consciousness to matter, Xia Fan felt that he had vaguely touched its edge.
Perhaps as he thought before -
His common sense was operating in a form unknown to him.
And to unravel this answer, he must go to the Privy Council House.
