Chapter 22: Second Level of Qi Training

Yun Shang returned to her cave she rented. As soon as she entered the room, she closed the door first, and then took out the defense and isolation array that she had just bought in the market and a dozen low-grade spirit stones from her storage bag.

Yun Shang held the low-grade spirit stone and the array plate in her hand, raised her hand to inject a trace of spiritual energy into the array plate, and then waved her hand lightly, and a transparent light curtain appeared around the room, wrapping the entire room in it, and the array was completed; She looked at the arranged array, nodded with satisfaction, and then silently recited it. A white light flashed, and she reappear in the space.

Yun Shang planted the spiritual medicine seeds in the storage bag according to their types and grades, and planted the low-level spiritual herbs and seeds aside.

She planted the seeds of high-level spiritual herbs and medicines above level five and those seeds whose grade could not be determined near the spiritual spring, so that they would be easier for them to survive and grow.

Finally, she scattered a few level 8 blue jade lotus seeds in the spiritual spring. She didn't know how to cultivate these seeds, which needed to grow in the spiritual spring, so she could only scatter them in there.

The seeds of the spirit fruit tree are planted at the foot of the green hills in the space, and a special area is set aside for the spirit fruit trees.

After all the spiritual herbs, spiritual medicines and spiritual fruit tree seeds were planted, and she watered them with some spiritual spring water, she no longer cared about them;

she then planted the pearl rice, purple crystal rice and several kinds of spiritual vegetable seeds that she bought from the old woman in another area.

After doing all this, she was already exhausted and panting.

Then Yun Shang completely entered the life of seclusion. 

Yun Shang adjusted her training plan: during the day, she would practice swordsmanship, and during the night she was practicing spell.

Yun Shang had no scruples and began to practice seriously. Swinging the sword 10,000 times a day was a fixed number.

 "...Four hundred and ninety-nine, five hundred, five hundred and one, five hundred and two..."

Yun Shang waved the sword and counted at the same time, and felt that her arms were not her own.

Oh my god.

She was so tired after swinging the sword for more than 500 times. She should die after swinging the sword for 5,000 times

Her mind was dazed for a moment, and her sword-drawing posture was a little off.

As she said, although she had a will of steel, the physique of this body was too poor, and she was young, so some physiological behaviors were not under her control at all.

After finally swinging the sword a thousand times, her chubby face was already wrinkled in pain, and her big grape-like eyes were full of tears.

Woo woo woo.

I want to cry so much.

When her spiritual energy exhausted, she practiced with her legs crossed and his five hearts facing the sky.

Soon, a small vortex of spiritual energy formed around Yun Shang, swirling into her body.

Yun Shang was exhausted, and the spiritual energy suddenly poured in, quickly transformed into spiritual power, wandering along the meridians and penetrating into the skin, flesh and fascia.

It was as if a superb technician was giving her a massage, and she was so comfortable that her bones were about to fall apart.

 Soon, the spiritual power circulated in her body for a large circle, and her originally weak and sore body was full of vitality again.

 Opening her eyes and exhaling a breath of turbid air, Yun Shang was surprised to find that her realm had loosened.

 Since she introduced the Qi into her body, she has been meditating and practicing in the house every day.

 Although she absorbed a lot of spiritual energy, her cultivation did not increase much.

As Chaos Spiritual Roots, the spiritual energy she needed for cultivation was five times that of ordinary single spiritual roots. In addition she has to divide the spiritual energy to three part of meridian, spiritual consciousness, and soul power.

Therefore, her cultivation speed with the help of time difference in space was actually about the same as that of a genius with a single spiritual root. 

But now, her cultivation speed was actually faster than a few days ago.

After a little thought, she understood the reason.

For example, her body is now like a sponge.

 When she meditates and practices daily, she still has spiritual power in her body, just like using a half-wet sponge to absorb water, and the amount of water absorbed is limited.

 And just now she exhausted the spiritual power in her body, and meditating and practicing again is equivalent to squeezing the water out of the sponge to absorb water, so naturally she absorbs more and faster. 

 She remembered that the book also said that practicing after exhausting the spiritual power will be twice the result with half the effort.

 Yun Shang's eyes lit up, and she would practice like this in the future as long as she was in a safe environment!

 Refreshed and energetic, Yun Shang stood up and continued to swing the sword.

During the night, she would study the entanglement technique, water diversion technique, fireball technique, thick earth technique, golden sword technique, etc., and memorize the instructions and procedures for using these spells. As for the art of cleaning, she learned it when the sewage was dirty.

These small spells can be used after reaching the third level of Qi training. Getting acquainted in advance will always bring unexpected benefits. She began to concentrate her mind and energy at night, and the effect became better day by day, especially when there was moonlight and morning dew. She was breakthrough to second level of qi training.

She is getting better and better in cultivation. Swinging the sword 10,000 times a day has changed from being sporadic at the beginning to being done in one go now.

When she was out of seclusion, the low-level spiritual medicine area looks very dense, and the fourth-level spiritual medicine seeds have all sprouted and are growing well.

She was puzzled. Even if the space had time acceleration, it would take one day outside and ten days inside. Even a first-level spiritual medicine would take at least three months to mature. And she had only been in the space for two months. How could the spiritual medicine mature so quickly?

Then she glanced at the spiritual spring beside her, and suddenly realized, how could she forget that the spiritual spring has the effect of accelerating plant growth? It seems that she will no longer need to irrigate the spiritual spring water when planting low-level spiritual medicines in the future to avoid waste.

After she figured it out, she became busy harvesting all the mature spiritual herbs and medicines below level three.

Then she placed the elixir in a corner of the wooden house without using a jade box. The space had the function of preserving freshness, so she was not afraid that it would go bad. Besides, she didn't have that many jade boxes now.

Finally, she collected the fallen spiritual medicine seeds and planted a new batch. In the early stages of learning alchemy, spiritual medicines are still very scarce, so it is better to plant more.

However, this time, she didn't water the spiritual spring water when planting the spiritual herbs of level one to three. The growth cycle of spiritual herbs below level three is not long, and with the acceleration of space and time, there is no need to water them with spiritual spring water.

After doing all this, she went to the spiritual spring again. The high-level spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs planted here had basically not shown any signs of growth. She also knew that high-level seeds needed a long time to grow, so she watered them with spiritual spring water again.

The same goes for the spiritual fruit tree area. There has been no movement so far, and she is still watering it with spiritual spring water.

As for the pearl rice, purple crystal rice and several kinds of spiritual vegetables planted in another area, they are all mature, and she is busy again. She harvests all the pearl rice, purple crystal rice and various spiritual vegetables, and then plants a new batch.

It doesn't matter if you plant more. You can sell them later if you can't eat them all. After all, selling these is much less risky than selling a large amount of spiritual medicine. You will have a legitimate way to spend spiritual stones in the future.

After Yun Shang finished all this, she took out some pots and pans that she had bought at the market, cleaned them, and also various seasonings and other items, and made some spiritual rice with pearl rice.

She also fried a few dishes with spiritual vegetables, which were fragrant and full of spiritual energy. After having a delicious meal, she continued her seclusion.

...

Yun Shang then devoted herself to studying practical spells for daily life. As far as her current cultivation level is concerned, she can currently learn five spells: entanglement, water diversion, fireball, thick earth, and golden sword.

 Among them, the entanglement technique consumes one's own wood spiritual energy. It can use surrounding plants to entangle prey that is not far away. The disadvantage is that it must be in an environment with plants to facilitate its use.

 The Water Diversion Technique is also a spell that can be practiced by anyone regardless of their spiritual roots. As the name suggests, it consumes one's own spiritual energy to form airflow to draw out the surrounding water sources for flushing or other uses. That is to say, the water diversion technique requires that there be a water source around you. In the beginning, the water source is around you. As your cultivation level increases, the water diversion technique requires that the distance from the water source can be increased, and even moisture in the air can be drawn out.

 The fireball technique is used by monks with fire spiritual roots to use the fire spiritual energy in the body to gather into a small ball, giving it attack attributes. The purity of each person's spiritual energy, spell operation, etc. will cause differences in attack power.

 The Thick Earth Technique uses the earth spiritual roots of the monks to condense the earth spiritual energy into physical objects such as earth walls, which play a defensive role.

 The Golden Sword Art uses the golden spiritual energy to condense a small sword, which is extremely sharp, slightly more offensive, and better at long-range attacks.

 Because the five elements are interconnected and mutually reinforcing each other. Among them, metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal;

 However, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, and water overcomes fire.

At this point, Yun Shang began her boring journey of learning magic. Apart from taking spiritual fruits, occasionally sleeping, and spending time doing secular exercises, she spent all the remaining time practicing spells. When spiritual medicine and fruits mature, she became busy harvesting all.

Although the attack power of these five spells is small, they are the basic project for Yun Shang to enter the world of immortality.

First, she is novel about cultivating immortals, and secondly, due to her personality, so she absolutely studies and researches it with all her heart.

The hard work paid off, and finally on the tenth day, Yun Shang was able to successfully cast the second spell entanglement in her life, although the effect was not very good.

She spent another five days practicing the entanglement technique over and over again, studying the proficiency of the technique and the control of the amount of spiritual energy.

Of course, due to her cultivation, she basically casts three entanglement spells, and the wood spiritual energy stored in her Dantian is basically used up.

That is to say, Yun Shang's spiritual energy reserve can now be used for up to three entanglement spells! So she had to keep meditating, casting spells, meditating, casting spells. 

 After such repeated operations, she began to practice the fireball technique again, from small sparks that were extinguished in the first second, to small flames that could ignite fire, to small fireballs that finally formed into a ball.

After countless repetitions, the fireball was finally able to be fired as desired. The speed was a bit slow, but much better. After all, wood makes fire, and mastering wood skills well will also greatly promote the development of fire skills.

 Later, Yun Shang found a small stream and used the water diversion technique according to the water diversion technique. "One method can be used, and all methods can be used." This time, it only took more than five days, and the water diversion technique was already at hand. 

 After that, she mastered the thick soil technique; and finally spent 10 days practicing the golden sword technique.

After Yun Shang learned the five spells in 45 days, she spent another 40 days consolidating and practicing them.

In the end, she was able to control the spells accurately with the minimum amount of spiritual energy in no order, no mistakes, and with the minimum amount of spiritual energy. These five spells can be emitted at will.

Time slowly passed by as she meditated and studied spells, which were boring and novel day after day.
