Enlightenment
"Xiao Qin, do you know that Nandu has recently become popular…Hmm, it's just what songs everyone likes to sing. You sing and I'll dance.”Ye Kong wanted to find a song that could bring Shadow Dance to its peak.
Lu Qin thought about it for a long time before saying," Why don't I sing a song for you?”
Ye Kong was about to faint." Little Cabbage, I taught you. I want you to sing a song from your Cangnan Continent."”
The entertainment activities in Cangnan Continent were extremely poor. Those songs and dances were not something that ordinary people could enjoy. Lu Qin was so anxious that she was about to cry. In the end, she could only say," Why don't I sing a laundry song? I heard those women singing when they were washing clothes by the well.”
"Clothes, clothes,
His sister was busy washing clothes.
My brother travels everywhere,
My little sister will mend my crotch."
"My little sister will mend my crotch?" Ye Kong nearly fainted." What kind of laundry song is this? It's a folk yellow tune, not suitable for children. What kind of people are these laundry people?"”
"I really don't know how to sing anymore. You taught me everything I know.”
Ye Kong could only shake his head helplessly. This Cangnan Continent was truly a tragedy. Poor fourteen-year-old girl who couldn't even sing a song.
Just as he was speaking, the sound of scissors being ground came from the other end, interrupting Ye Kong's train of thought. He originally wanted to hum a tune in his heart, but he couldn't.
"Forget it, Xiao Qin. I'll teach you how to draw talismans.”Ye Kong was just about to return to his room with Lu Qin.
However, his heart skipped a beat. He stopped in his tracks and started dancing with the sound of sharpening knives.
"I know! It was the rhythm! The rhythm was what determined Shadow Dance's movements! Different rhythms would lead to different dances. The same shadow dance would follow different rhythms, but it would also have a myriad of developments. There was no such thing as a good or bad Shadow Dance, only whether it was in line with the current rhythm!”
After hearing the sound of Chen Jiuniang grinding the scissors, Ye Kong had actually figured out the inner workings of Shadow Dance. In that instant of enlightenment, he could clearly feel a subtle change in his Sea of Qi.
He was about to break through!
"Mother, Xiao Qin, I'm going back to my room. Don't call me for anything big!”Ye Kong quickly ran back to his room, locked the door, and sat cross-legged on his bed. He adjusted his breathing and meditated, guiding the spiritual energy in his limbs to circulate.
In fact, immortal cultivation was also the process of comprehending the Dao. Generally speaking, everyone relied on absorbing spiritual energy. When the spiritual energy reached a certain amount, it would change from quantitative to qualitative and advance to a higher level.
And what Ye Kong was experiencing today was called an epiphany. With his sudden understanding of the Heavenly Dao and the improvement of his mental state, he was able to bring his spiritual energy to a qualitative change.
The cultivation of the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture was extraordinarily slow. If it wasn't for his sudden epiphany, he definitely wouldn't have been able to enter the second qi layer in two years.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Kong finally woke up from his meditative state. Going from the first to the second layer of the Aura Refining realm required a lot of Spirit Qi, so this meditation was the longest he had ever meditated. After five days, he felt his Sea of Qi expand, and he also felt that the speed at which he absorbed and refined Spirit Qi had increased.
"Two years, second qi layer. I wonder if this speed is fast or slow?”Ye Kong opened his eyes and realized that it was midnight again. Moonlight spilled through the torn window onto the table.
"Mother is probably anxious from waiting." Ye Kong quickly got out of bed, opened the door, and quickly went to the room next door.
Chen Jiuniang had fallen asleep on the edge of the bed. She didn't even take off her shoes. The small oil lamp had already been burned to the edge of exhaustion. Only the light of a green bean was struggling to survive.
"Sigh, just comfort me to sleep. What do I have to worry about?”Ye Kong's heart ached. He guessed that Chen Jiuniang had probably slept like this for the past five days.
He suddenly felt that it was no wonder that those cultivators would go to the deep mountains and forests to cultivate in seclusion. Firstly, they were afraid of being disturbed, and secondly, they were afraid of this kind of inexplicable worry.
In the future, he would cultivate and meditate for a longer period of time. He wondered how he could make his mother not worry. But if she wanted to leave home, who would take care of her?
"The Heavenly Dao is merciless. No wonder you say that. From the beginning of cultivation, you have to cut off all feelings. Only then can you be free from distractions.”Even though Ye Kong thought so, he would rather slow down his cultivation than abandon his mother.
Ye Kong gently helped Chen Jiuniang take off her shoes, laid her down, and covered her with a blanket. Only then did he blow out the light, grab a few dry buns, and return to his room.
"If your cultivation is slow, then so be it." Ye Kong munched on his steamed bun in a daze.
Although he would rather cultivate slowly, the reality was still in front of him. First of all, the spiritual energy in the Southern Capital was too thin. Why were so many cultivation sects located in famous mountains and rivers? It was because there were spiritual veins there and the spiritual energy was abundant. The amount and activity of spiritual energy was closely related to the speed of cultivation. At the moment, the second level of the Qi Refinement realm was still barely passable in the Southern Capital. If he reached the third or fourth level of the Qi Refinement realm in the future, he would have to leave home.
Another problem was that they couldn't be disturbed while they were meditating. That was why cultivators liked to find an empty cave to enter seclusion. Some even needed someone to protect them when they were breaking through.
Cultivating like Ye Kong was very dangerous, especially when he was breaking through. His body was at its weakest. If someone disturbed him during these five days, he would either fail to break through or suffer a backlash from Spirit Qi. The higher his cultivation level, the more serious the injury.
"Looks like I'll have to leave this place sooner or later.”Ye Kong let out a long sigh, then shook his head.
He didn't want to leave Chen Jiuniang. He had to leave sooner or later. Although he had decided to help the Lu brothers gain some power in the Southern Capital and let them take care of his mother, his mother would feel very lonely after he left.
"Actually, it's good for Xiao Qin to accompany me.”Ye Kong muttered to himself again. He wasn't a young lad anymore. Back on Earth, he had a wealth of experience picking up girls, so he knew exactly how good Lu Qin felt about him.
However, he felt that he was too selfish. If he married Lu Qin and left in the future, his mother would have someone to accompany her, but wouldn't Lu Qin be a widow for him?
Perhaps these problems were not a problem for the people of Cangnan Continent at all. It was fine as long as they lived comfortably, and they did not care if others were happy or not.
"After all, I'm not from the Cangnan Continent.”Ye Kong finished his bun and sighed, no longer dwelling on these complicated matters.
He sat cross-legged on the bed again. He had successfully broken through to the second qi layer. Would the Encyclopedia of Talismans open a brand new page?
He was excited and nervous. When he was at the first qi layer, he had already opened all the paper talismans. If he could open them again, he would be able to see the spiritual talismans.
Spiritual Talismans were the most effective weapons in Cangnan Continent. Ye Kong still didn't know a single spell, so if he had a Spiritual Talisman, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
Not long after, Ye Kong heard a cheer in his heart." It's open! Spiritual Talismans! Low-grade low-grade spirit talisman!"
"I'm not afraid of anyone anymore!”As he looked at the first three talismans that came into view, a surge of excitement surged from the bottom of his heart, and Ye Kong almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
" Fireball Curse, a low-grade spirit talisman of the fire attribute. It can release a fireball the size of a fist. The flame lasts for a long time…"
" Earth Spike Curse, a low-grade Earth Spiritual Talisman. It can pierce a sharp spear from the ground. It's extremely powerful, and it's hard to guard against…"
" Golden Light Talisman, a low-grade metal attribute spirit talisman. It is used for defense. After using it, the user's entire body will emit a golden light. It will be invulnerable to knives and spears. Talismans and spells of the same level will not be able to break it. The duration of its effect will be determined by the user's magic power…"
"F * ck him! It's too awesome!"
However, Ye Kong didn't celebrate for long before he realized that this Spiritual Talisman wasn't that easy to make.
"The so-called spiritual talismans are talismans written with spiritual energy. Based on the amount of spiritual energy, they are divided into low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. Each grade can be further divided into low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade.”
"Spiritual Talismans are classified according to their effects. Attack-type, they are mostly called curses. When used, they are combined with runes and incantations. The power is fixed and has nothing to do with the strength of the caster's spiritual power.”
"The defensive type is called a talisman. When used, the talisman is used in conjunction with the incantation and gestures. The defensive effect is fixed, but the duration is related to the amount of spiritual energy the user has.”
"Support-type, mainly using various escape talismans and speed-boosting talismans; Special type…"
"The creation of spirit talismans must be matched with the corresponding talisman paper. Low grade spirit talismans also need low grade talisman paper. High grade talisman paper can be used to make low grade spirit talismans.”
"To make a low-grade talisman, take a piece of talisman paper and spread it open. Dip the talisman pen in the juice of a low-grade spirit herb (or the blood of a spirit beast of the same grade). Then, release the spiritual energy of the corresponding attribute according to the attribute of the talisman. When creating talismans, one must have no distracting thoughts and be able to do it in one go. The spiritual energy must be infused steadily and evenly…"
Ye Kong couldn't stand it anymore.
As it turned out, the paper, pen, and ink used for this talisman were not ordinary items. However, where was he going to find low-grade talisman paper? There was also the Spiritual Talisman Pen, low-grade spirit beast blood…
Heavens! Liu Changqing had already suffered heavy losses when he fought the injured Ironhide Bull last time. That was a Rank-0 Spiritual Beast. If he went to kill a Lower Rank Spiritual Beast, it would be no different from suicide.
"It seems that I won't be able to make talismans for the time being. I'll just have to wait until I find out about the Immortal cultivator's market and buy these talisman-making materials.”Ye Kong's heart, which had been burning with excitement, turned cold again.
However, since he couldn't make a talisman for the time being, it was good to familiarize himself with the pattern of the talisman first. This would be very beneficial to the success rate of making talismans in the future.
Ye Kong couldn't help but marvel at the three types of talismans he currently had. The drawing method of this talisman was completely different washi talismans. Its structure was also completely different.
The structure of the yellow paper talisman was the talisman head, the talisman gall, and the talisman legs. The main focus was on the Talisman Gall, and the content was mainly pictures and the Heavenly Book that was similar to Chinese.
However, the talisman was completely different. It did not have a top, middle, or bottom structure. It was just a square. It was a complex square that was connected by countless strokes and lines. It was impossible to see what kind of figure it was, and it had nothing to do with words. To put it more accurately, it was no different from a square integrated circuit board.
Ye Kong felt that the analogy of a circuit board was quite accurate. Some of the strokes were pathways, while others were closed circuits. It was very complicated, and spiritual energy flowed through it like electricity. When it was running, it would inevitably produce powerful effects.
It seemed that this talisman could not be changed casually. It contained profound and difficult laws. The one who created the talisman was definitely not the Cangnan Continent or Earth. This was a civilization that contained science and mysterious energy. Its level of civilization far exceeded that of Earth and the Cangnan Continent.
