“Hahaha, this practice is to teach you how to condense the power of your spiritual consciousness to generate power, but instead you spread it out and formed a small plate. How can you possibly hold up the stone with your current abilities
If you can now hold up the stone like this, you don’t need to continue practicing anymore.”
Ye Wuming saw the stone on Ye Li's fingertips fall to the ground instantly, and finally laughed, then spoke.
When Ye Li heard Ye Wuming's words, his face suddenly turned red. It was only then that he realized that what he had just done was completely brainless.
Ye Wuming has already made it very clear that the first stage of cultivation is to practice the cohesion of spiritual power. However, he took it for granted and did the opposite, which was really a stupid behavior.
Picking up the stone again, Ye Li concentrated all his spiritual power and spiritual energy on his fingertips. This time, his spiritual energy only formed a small dot on his fingertips.
He carefully placed the stone on his fingertips, and suddenly a huge force pressed down on his spiritual power again.
Ye Li felt that his spiritual power was about to shatter again, so he quickly concentrated his mind on his fingertips and used all his strength to hold on to that bit of spiritual energy.
However, just as he focused all his attention on his fingertips, the stone that was pushed up suddenly lost its balance and fell from his fingertips again.
Seeing this situation, Ye Li couldn't help but be stunned.
Ye Wuming said: "Well, do you know where the difficulty lies
If you focus all your attention on your fingertips, you will not be able to keep the stone balanced. If your spiritual power is not concentrated enough and cannot bear the weight of the stone, you can only find a relative balance point to successfully hold the stone on your fingertips.
In fact, this state is very similar to a battle, which requires concentrating the power of the mind on the spell to be manipulated, and paying attention to the movements around at all times. After all, in a battle, you also need to keep your eyes and ears open. "
His words made Ye Li lower his head and think.
"Okay, Xiao Yeli, you can practice here. The first weight of the stone should not be difficult for you. It is just set up to help you get used to this way of practice.
When you can lift the third weight of stone, we can move on to the next stage of practice."
After Ye Wuming finished speaking, he patted Ye Li on the shoulder and walked towards the thatched cottage on his own. Finally, he sat down on the stone table next to him and took out a book to read, just like he was in the Lingfu Pavilion.
Ye Li didn't care about Ye Wuming leaving. After all, the other party had already told him the method. Now all he had to do was to continue his practice according to this method.
Picking up the stone again, Ye Li calmed his mind and focused all his attention on his fingers and the stone.
Just as Ye Wuming said, the first stone was only to help him adapt to this way of practice, and it was not difficult.
When he placed the stone on the spiritual energy of his fingertips for the fifth time, the stone was finally able to stand firmly on it.
After he got used to this way of control, his spiritual energy and consciousness concentrated on his fingertips, holding the stone steadily. He was also able to distract himself by feeling the center of gravity of the stone, keeping it on his fingertips to prevent it from falling.
Ye Wuming's voice suddenly came at this time, saying: "Just maintain this state for a quarter of an hour. When you have done it, you can switch to a bigger stone."
Ye Li was stunned for a moment and responded. He knew that although Ye Wuming was sitting far away, some of his attention was still on him.
He maintained a steady output of spiritual energy and consciousness from his fingertips, and the stone was always held about an inch above his fingertips.
The longer he persisted, the greater the pressure on Ye Li's spiritual power would be, as if he was walking with a heavy load, and the load would increase with time.
Fortunately, a quarter of an hour was not too long. After gritting his teeth and persevering for a while, Ye Li finally passed the test.
However, in just a quarter of an hour, Ye Li's spiritual power was consumed greatly.
He had never expected that in such a short period of time, half of his spiritual power would be consumed.
Continuously maintaining a state of high mental concentration consumed more spiritual power than he had imagined.
After taking two breaths, Ye Li shook his head. Now he was asked to continue practicing with the second stone. His spiritual power might not be enough, so he practiced the Purple Talisman Technique to restore his spiritual power and spiritual essence.
Just after practicing the Purple Talisman Technique for more than ten times and fully restoring his spiritual power, he suddenly found that Ye Wuming had appeared beside him at some point and was looking at him curiously.
"Fifth Grandpa, is there any problem?"
Looking at Ye Wuming's expression, Ye Li was a little puzzled.
"Ye Li, your spirit gathering is definitely not the same as your family's, right
But your Soul Gathering Technique seems to be very mysterious, and it even has some meaning of drawing talismans with your body?"
Ye Wuming saw Ye Li stop and spoke.
Only then did Ye Li understand why Ye Wuming looked so curious. It turned out that he was curious about his Purple Talisman Technique.
Ye Li hesitated for a moment, but still told Ye Wuming the origin of the Purple Talisman Art honestly, and added: "Fifth Grandfather, I originally wanted to give the Purple Talisman Art to the family, but after testing it with Brother Canglong, I found that this Soul Gathering Art can only be used by me. If you want to practice this art, you must use the natal talisman in conjunction."
Ye Wuming nodded and said, "Don't worry, I don't mean for you to hand over the Soul Gathering Technique to the family.
Although you are a member of the family, any talismans, spirit gathering spells, and talismans you obtain in the future will be at your own disposal, and you have the right not to hand them over to the family.
Of course, if you want to hand over something to the family, the family will try to compensate you."
Hearing Ye Wuming's words, Ye Li nodded.
"Okay, I just saw that your Soul Gathering Technique was a little special, so I came over to observe it carefully.
It looks like your spiritual power has recovered. Continue practicing now. Lifting the stone is just a warm-up. Once you can lift the third-level stone, you can enter the real practice stage. You will have to endure hardships then."
After Ye Wuming finished speaking, he patted Ye Li on the shoulder and returned to the hut with a smile on his face.
After hearing what the other party said, Ye Li felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart. After all, if he had to endure hardships in his future training, then the gains would naturally not be small.
After calming down, Ye Li focused his attention on the second stone, which was a circle larger than the first one. It looked to be the size of a human head and weighed at least thirty or forty kilograms.
