After leaving the palace, Wu Dongfang did not return to Tianshi Mansion, but left the capital and went to the mountains and forests west of the city.
He already knew what the nine spells of the Jin clan were, but he was not satisfied with these spells. He felt that he was tied up and couldn't let go. Not to mention their power, at least they were not suitable for people with his personality to practice.
After half a day of deliberation, he felt that there was no need to dig deeper into most of the Jin family's spells. Except for the object control at the beginning, the object control is to control objects and change the shape of objects. This is the mainstay of the Jin family's spells and the five family's spells. He planned to Concentrate all your energy on this kind of practice, focus on the big tendons in outline, and there is no need to learn other side details derived from the big tendons. Learning them will not only be of no benefit, but will constrain yourself and affect your performance.
The Qi is released from the liver meridian, and a big tree can be broken through the air. The spiritual energy is dispersed, and the big tree can be broken open in the middle.
Wu Dongfang stopped. Wrong, the direction is wrong. This method consumes too much spiritual energy. There is no need to attack the complete tree directly. As long as you can control wood things, you can change the shape of any wood things, a bunch of shrubs. It can also be condensed into wooden weapons under the influence of spiritual energy.
With this thought in his mind, Wu Dongfang raised his hand and grabbed a pile of thorns in the distance. His thoughts flashed, and his spiritual energy spread out. The pile of messy thorns instantly turned into a wooden stick about half a foot long.
Thorns are composed of wood energy, and the wood energy that makes up thorns is affected by spiritual energy, and spiritual energy is controlled by consciousness. People control consciousness, consciousness controls the external spiritual energy, and the external spiritual energy affects the wood energy. This is the detailed process and principle of condensation.
Being able to extend spiritual energy is a prerequisite for changing the shape of matter, at least for him. This is not the case for other wizards. The mages of the five races cannot extend spiritual energy, but their pure blood can react with a certain substance in the outside world.
The stick in your hand is very hard, and it makes a crisp sound when knocked on the rock. You need to use spiritual energy to break it. After breaking, you can see that the broken stubble inside the stick is not a wooden texture, but similar to pig iron and stone. The fracture is just green, which shows that when the spiritual energy changes the shape of the thorn, it also changes its internal structure. The only thing that has not changed is that it is still wood. When rubbed against bluestone, it will still turn black and emit charcoal. the smell.
When he was angry and tried the earth and stone again, he could also change the shape of earth and stone. He tried it three times. The first time it was a stone knife, the second time it was a stone spear, and the third time it was a stone sword. The shape of the weapon formed by the condensation of earth and stone is irregular. This is because he does not have a clear shape of the weapon in his mind when he extends the spiritual energy. What kind of weapon the earth and stone will turn into depends entirely on the control of his consciousness. The consciousness is not clear enough, and the shape of the weapon The shape is not regular enough.
He broke the stone knife with both arms and found that the broken stubble was very similar to the broken stubble of the stick turned from thorns. This phenomenon aroused his curiosity. He raised his hand and grabbed a bush of thorns again. He concentrated his energy and turned into a wooden sword. He cut each other with the stone sword. The two swords broke at the same time. This showed that the structure of the wooden sword and the stone sword had been changed by the spiritual energy. The hardness of stone swords is the same.
Breaking a copper staff and observing the broken stubble is very similar to wooden knives and stone knives. This situation shows that the properties of earth, stone, metal, grass and trees modified by spiritual energy will change. The direct cause of this change is spiritual energy, the purity of spiritual energy. The degree determines the hardness of the things transformed by it. Different things with different hardness will become the same hardness as long as they are transformed by spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy used to change the shape of objects cannot be recycled and reused. The spiritual energy contained in things transformed by spiritual energy will slowly dissipate. When the spiritual energy is exhausted, these things will turn into a pile of powder.
I tried solids. Wu Dongfang found a small stream in the mountains and used Qi to send out the kidney meridian. He tried to control the stream water. Spiritual energy can also have an effect on liquids, but it will first turn the liquid into a solid. The stream water squeezed by the spiritual energy will When it turns into ice, the stubble of the ice knife is not the stubble of the ice, but the stubble similar to the wooden knife, stone knife, and copper staff, and the hardness is also similar.
But what puzzled him was that he couldn't feel the temperature of the ice blade. He didn't feel cold when holding the ice blade. In order to determine whether the ice blade itself had no temperature or he couldn't feel the temperature, he caught a frog from the stream and pressed it with the ice blade. Live, the frog was frozen soon, which shows that the ice blade does have low temperature, but this low temperature will not cause harm to the caster himself
The last thing to try is fire. To control fire, you need to use the heart meridian. You can control the flame, or you can condense the flame into a knife shape, but the fire knife has no entity. To maintain the flame in the knife shape, you need to consume a lot of spiritual energy. , and the fire knife also has high temperature, but he can't feel this high temperature either.
After detailed consideration and repeated attempts, he had a precise understanding of controlling the five elements. He could indeed control the five elements and change the five elements into any shape, but only if there was spiritual energy in his body. He was different from other wizards. Other wizards can use their pure blood to cast some of their own spells even if their spiritual energy is exhausted. But he can't. If his spiritual energy is exhausted, he can't control anything.
In addition, controlling and changing the shapes of things in the five elements consumes different spiritual energy. Controlling fire requires the most spiritual energy, followed by controlling water. This may be because these two things are associated with additional temperatures.
Controlling wood consumes a lot of spiritual energy. This is probably because wood objects are not hard enough on their own and require more spiritual energy to squeeze and increase their hardness.
Controlling gold consumes very little spiritual energy, but what consumes the least spiritual energy is controlling earth and stone. Among the five elements, all things are born from earth. Earth things are the origin of the five elements and are closest to the original state, so it takes less spiritual energy to control and change them.
There was the sound of swaying vegetation not far behind him. Wu Dongfang turned his head and looked eastward, only to see a rice bucket emerging from the bushes and running towards him happily.
"Why are you here?" Wu Dongfang asked the prince, who was following behind with his tongue sticking out, as he patted the rice bucket that was leaning towards him.
"Ask him." The prince ran to the stream and drank water.
"Are you coming to find me?" Wu Dongfang asked with a smile, touching the rice bucket's head.
"Yeah, yeah." Fantong seemed to understand what he said and nodded.
"You also saw it. I can't control it. If it gets lost in the future, don't blame me." The prince raised his head and said.
"After running for dozens of miles, you are so tired?" Wu Dongfang asked with a smile.
"I'm scared. If it gets lost, how can I explain it to you?" The prince curiously leaned over to look at the frozen frog. The aura contained in the fire knife and ice knife dissipated quickly. At this time, the ice knife It had disappeared, leaving only the frozen toad.
After pulling his paws and seeing that the frog didn't respond, the prince turned to Wu Dongfang and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm researching and creating magic." Wu Dongfang said.
"Quick, quick, show me what you're doing." The prince urged curiously.
"You're early, you're still close." Wu Dongfang said. He has only figured out how to control and change the five elements with spiritual energy, and the characteristics of the five elements of things transformed with spiritual energy, but has not yet integrated them into practice.
"It's okay. I didn't laugh at you when you fell all day long in the bamboo forest with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Come on, let me see what weird tricks you did again." The prince was very curious.
"The one with the least resistance is the awl!" Wu Dongfang said.
The prince didn't answer. There was a word in Wu Dongfang's words that he didn't understand: resistance.
Wu Dongfang strengthened the shape and size of the sharp thorns in his mind. When the pattern of the sharp thorns was completely formed and the memory was strengthened, he began to take a deep breath and became familiar with the direction of the five meridians again. Each exhalation and inhalation is a meridians, and he used his breathing to remember the meaning of each meridians. After taking five deep breaths, I still felt that I was not skilled enough to control the five elements, so I took another five breaths.
"Are you asthmatic?" The prince became impatient and began to curl his lips.
Wu Dongfang looked around and pointed to the oak forest a hundred steps away, "Watch."
After speaking, Wu Dongfang stretched out his arms and waved forward quickly. With one wave, the stream turned into a large number of ice picks about a foot long and flew southward. With the ice picks swung out, Wu Dongfang lunged forward and rushed forward. Waving his arm again, the surrounding vegetation turned into a sky full of wooden thorns and shot towards the oak forest again. Wu Dongfang flipped up with the wooden thorns and kicked left and right in the air. The earth and rocks below turned into pieces of stone cones and attacked the oak forest again.
"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."
"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."
"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."
The third wave of storm-like sound has not stopped yet, Wu Dongfang has followed closely, but when he got close, he immediately leaned back and retreated. The three waves of cones had already penetrated a large number of oak trees in the oak forest, and at this time the oak trees were falling. , he doesn’t need to make up for it.
"Okay!" The prince shouted excitedly.
"Wow!" Rice Tong didn't know what was going on, so he also yelled.
Wu Dongfang became interested. He stepped on the bluestone by the stream and swept southward. He landed on the ground two miles away. His body turned sharply. Spiritual energy poured out through the spleen meridian. The earth and rocks on the ground rose in the air. , every time it rotates, a large amount of earth and stone will turn into thousands of stone cones and scatter in all directions. When the surrounding soil is lacking, a pit will form, and Qi will move through the liver meridian. Many big trees that have been pierced by stone cones and fell to the ground will turn into wooden thorns all over the sky and continue to fly. Surround.
After dozens of turns, Wu Dongfang stopped. Hundreds of trees of various sizes within a hundred steps fell to the ground, their trunks cracked, and their branches and leaves separated.
Looking around at the results, Wu Dongfang nodded with satisfaction. Choosing the right method through thinking is much more efficient than just keeping your head down and practicing hard without using your brain.
Returning to the stream where the prince and Rice Tong were, the prince happily jumped up and down on the rocks, while Rice Tong sat aside and chewed a branch out of boredom.
"Congratulations," the prince said excitedly.
"You're not yet proficient. The more you practice, the more powerful it will be." Wu Dongfang said.
"Isn't it very draining of spiritual energy?" The prince began to care about the cost.
"These awls are not very big, and they don't consume much spiritual energy." Wu Dongfang said.
"Let's go, let's go back. It's getting dark soon, so my wife won't be anxious." The prince said.
Wu Dongfang nodded, turned into a copper cake and returned with the prince and rice bucket.
Back at Tianshi Mansion, dinner was ready. Wu Dongfang had dinner and went back to his room to rest.
Ming Yue's staff was placed on the table in the bedroom. Wu Dongfang picked up her staff and frowned at it.
"What's wrong?" Ming Yue asked.
"Can things changed with spiritual energy remain in their original state?" Wu Dongfang asked. Ming Yue's staff was once broken by Fan Tong. Afterwards, Ming Zhen reattached Ming Yue's staff. To this day, Ming Yue's staff The staff did not crack again.
Ming Yue shook her head, "The changes caused by blood induction are permanent, while the changes caused by spiritual energy are only temporary."
Wu Dongfang nodded and put down his staff. The biggest difference between him and the current wizards is that he is not a pure bloodline. The consequence of this situation is that anything he changes with his aura cannot survive for a long time.
