Chapter 44: Opening up the Aperture
"But that's what her talent is."
Zhang Xin explained patiently: "I heard that a few months ago, you could use the Lingbi Shield to fight Huang Fu Cheng? After that, the martial arts test was also based on this method to tie the opponent. But there are only three possibilities to do this. One is to work together, which is unlikely; the second is the talent of spiritual control, which can mobilize spiritual energy and temporarily strengthen the contact point between the Lingbi Shield and the sword; the third is the ability to induce spiritual sensing, and judge and predict in advance. The two talents are similar, and the spiritual master's own feelings are similar. I think Xiaoxue's spiritual master must have made a wrong judgment. I think Xiaoxue's magician has good medicine and a very high elixir yield rate, so I think Xiaoxue's talent is controlled by spiritual energy. But in fact..."
The voice paused slightly, and Zhang Xinmu looked at Zhou Xiaoxue: "But actually, Xiaoxue, you rely on the talent of spiritual energy to sense the talent, right? The inspirationist can sense the changes in the spiritual energy in the alchemy furnace, but it is difficult to use his own spiritual energy to enter the alchemy furnace. This can only be done by the control of spiritual energy. But Xiaoxue, your talent is four water, four woods, and all are extremely immersive spiritual energy, so he can also go deep into the alchemy furnace. I guess Xiaoxue must have failed many times before, before she could master the heat in the medicine furnace. Fortunately, your family is a elixir room and has enough medicinal materials for you to squander. Such a talent for real spiritual energy control will not be like this. They often cannot sense the spiritual energy in the alchemy furnace, but only adjust it by temperature, smell, and changes outside the furnace."
When he heard this, Zhou Xiaoxue was already thinking, and her eyes were glowing.
"...Xiaoxue If you have learned inspiration, then it will be very beneficial whether it is alchemy or your own practice in the future. Even if you cannot master the mind and move forward together, you can directly enter the fifth battle realm to enter the subtle spiritual energy and open up the obstacles to advanced divine masters."
Zhang Xin said this, thinking that Zhou Xiaoxue might enter the rank of divine master earlier than Mo Ting and Huangfu Cheng in the future.
He really wanted to see Huangfu Cheng's expression at that time.
"I think Xiaoxue, the reason why you are timid and afraid is probably because your talent for psychic sensing is too strong. When I was a child, I saw too many strange things? I used to have a friend, and he used to be like this."
Zhou Xiaoxue didn't say anything, but leaned over and bowed deeply to Zhang Xin to express her gratitude. But she was undeniable to Zhang Xin's last sentence.
"What about me?" Xie Ling'er stared at Zhang Xin: "Xue'er can't go, then I can do it, right?"
Zhang Xin glanced at him squintedly, thinking that this girl would not be easily dismissed, so it seemed that she had to apply some harsh medicine.
The thoughts moved slightly, and the sharp sword light came back. Xie Ling'er didn't feel anything strange, but in the blink of an eye, she saw Zhang Xin's sword "Qiu Lan" placing it on her neck.
"If you encounter a first-level spirit beast, you are dead now. You should have heard from the teacher that the spirit beast has a strong talent and is born with a combat instinct that is close to the second realm of mind. Our human race often only needs to deal with a first-level spirit beast after two or three formal spirit masters join forces."
When Zhang Xin put the knife in the sheath, his tone was still merciless: "If you really want to help me, then learn one of Fengxing Techniques and Spiritual Steps as soon as possible. If you can't beat it, you must be able to escape, otherwise it will only implicate me."
Xie Ling'er had never been treated like this by Zhang Xin. Tears suddenly flashed in her eyes, but then the person put away his grievance and hummed softly: "Isn't it just spiritual stance? Wait for me!"
"Brother Xin is so nice to Ling'er."
Zhou Xiaoxue looked at Xie Ling'er's back with some envy, but then she asked suspiciously: "I feel that Brother Xin knows a lot about spiritual skills."
Zhang Xin was slightly shocked, then touched his head and laughed: "Before my father was a seventh-level spiritual master, he was at least a seventh-level spiritual master."
But he was secretly alert in his heart that he would not be able to talk more when encountering this situation in the future.
Zhou Xiaoxue was indeed half-believing and half-doubted, thinking that her father was also a ninth-level spiritual master and was good at elixir refining, but she didn't have such insights.
※※※※
On this day, Zhang Xin was still carrying a large package worth more than 200 kilograms and stepped into Xiaoshiju in the evening. But at this time, he saw Xie Ling'er, and he still bulged his little face into a bun.
Zhang Xin couldn't help but feel strange inward and asked Zhou Xiaoxue: "What's wrong with her? Why haven't she calmed down yet?"
He knew that Xie Ling'er's temperament was as open-minded as himself. Although he would get angry occasionally, he rarely would be overnight.
"Huangfu Cheng came just now."
Zhou Xiaoxue whispered to Zhang Xin: "It doesn't matter if he says Ling'er doesn't join the hunting group. He will send us spiritual beast meat tomorrow night."
Zhang Xin couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Isn't this good? If you have free meat to eat, he is really good to Ling'er."
"I won't eat him!"
Xie Ling'er muttered while gnawing on the leopard meat in the bowl: "Are you so proud? I saw that he had been hanging the purple wood sign all afternoon and wandering around, making him extremely proud."
Then she glared at Zhang Xin again: "You can wait for me too. At most, I can learn spiritual stance techniques in seven days."
Then that night, Ling'er ate five kilograms of spiritual beast meat at the dining table. Then she practiced footwork in Xiaoshiju's yard.
Zhang Xin looked at it for a while and then returned to his living room with satisfaction.
The so-called spiritual footwork is the product of the combination of spiritual footwork and physical footwork, as well as the combination of lifting and lightening body techniques. This is also the basis of various spiritual escape techniques. Borrowing spiritual energy can enable spiritual masters to have faster speeds and more rapid and unpredictable body techniques than mortal warriors.
There are many schools of spiritual stance, and there are many. There are 197 types of spiritual stances circulating within the Sun and Moon Xuanzong alone.
But Zhang Xin recognized it at a glance that it was a spiritual stance called "Seven Essentials of Wind Resistance". You can tell from the name that this tends to be the wind system. As far as Zhang Xin knows, this spiritual stance can be combined with Fengxing stance in the future, so that the spiritual master's running technique can be as fast as the gods and ghosts can be unpredictable.
Moreover, when he looked at Ling'er's footwork, he obviously had a certain foundation. It is not a false statement to say that he mastered the spiritual footwork within seven days.
It can also be seen from this that the teacher Ling'er in Huiling Class did put some thoughts on her.
The "Seven Essences of Wind Reward" is extremely narrowly circulated and is a specialty of a faction in the Sun and Moon Xuan Sect. If Xie Ling'er had not been loved by his teachers, it would have never been possible to learn this spiritual stance.
That night, Zhang Xin still used the excuse of practicing refining to turn more than 200 kilograms of cheetah meat into black sand. This time, Zhang Xin broke through the metallic hidden orifice "Golden Spring".
After rebirth, Zhang Xin chose the Wind Spirit Body, the Thunder Spirit Body, the Golden Spirit Body and another Tianyuan Body that can enhance the power of all spiritual techniques as his foundation.
However, the difficulty of opening up these twenty-four hidden secrets is different. Like yesterday's Fengchi, today's Jinquan can be opened overnight.
But the next secret of Feng spirit body, "Guangfeng" and the "Silver root" of the golden spirit body, are not so easy to open up. The meat of the three or five-head first-level golden wind leopard is not enough.
