Chapter 150 Five Elements Particles, Straw Man Nine Transformations
Zhao Xing was strolling on a path across the endless fields.
On both sides of the road, the Yuan rice is heading, turning yellow, and withering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then new seeds are sprouting.
This is the original dojo and one of the treasures of Taicangyuan, not far from the Wanfa Palace.
The Straw Man Method belongs to the magic of the Self School. If you want to make great progress in your magic within seven days, you must of course comprehend the "Yin Yang Self Sutra", one of the secret books of the three major schools.
Zhao Xing has two free places and this is his first entry.
At this moment, he was squatting on the side of the road, watching the Yuan rice grow, mature and wither.
"The five elements power inside Yuandao has reached a certain balance with the Ksitigarbha Return to Origin Array."
"Rapid growth and withering, the continuous cycle of vitality with the outside and the inside."
Zhao Xing activated [Five Elements Observation].
At this time, the Yuan rice disappeared and the fields also disappeared.
Under the spell's microscopic vision, the sky appears to have a dynamic, bright, colorful distribution.
The earth is a dark rainbow of colors, with dark yellow representing the earth element as the main color, while cyan, gold, blue, red, and purple flow across the earth like lines.
As Yuan Rice grows, five colors interweave and rise from the ground. As the Yuan Rice ears and branches, it looks like a tree.
The Yuan rice withered, and the tree-like diagram composed of the five elements slowly collapsed and flowed back into the heaven and earth.
Zhao Xing seemed to understand something and stretched out his fingertips.
The surrounding heaven and earth energy suddenly accelerated, and the light blue power gathered towards the fingertips.
Soon, a drop of water appeared on the fingertips.
"Da~"
Water drops fall on this plant of Yuan rice.
The leaves and stalks of the Yuan rice were completely destroyed.
Water dripped into the soil, destroying even the roots and rhizomes in the ground. Within a quarter of an hour, the rest of the Yuan rice was repeating the cycle of 'growth-withering-growth', but the half-meter square of land in front of it could not grow anything again.
A touch of pure blue occupied an area of half a meter in radius. It was not until a quarter of an hour later that the magic circle automatically repaired itself and returned to normal.
"The dripping water method borrows the principles of heaven and earth to form momentum. The growth and withering of Yuandao is also an evolution of the principles of heaven and earth, and another natural momentum."
"But the natural trend is much more complicated than my dripping water method." Zhao Xing said secretly.
The water dripping method is the pure condensed power of water, a force that can destroy the heaven and earth.
Yuan Dao is only at the first level, but the five elements are gathered inside it. Although this natural force is very weak and Zhao Xing can easily destroy it, he cannot simulate it or even understand it because it involves the 'essence of life'.
"The sages of the Self School believe that everything in the world is made up of the Five Elements. According to the Five Elements theory, the life essence of humans and Yuandao is the same."
"It's just that the power of the five elements has a huge difference at a deeper level."
"The power of the five elements contained in Yuandao is like a thread, with countless powers of the five elements intertwined with each other."
"But the five elements in the human race are like beams and pillars. The difference is very obvious."
Zhao Xing looked inward at the five elements and saw the five kinds of "qi" flowing in his body.
Compared to Yuan Dao, his five strands of 'qi' are stronger and more vigorous.
"The Self School believes that observing the five elements and regulating their energy is only the initial step in using their power."
"If you continue to practice, you will be able to see the 'Five Elements Particles' at a deeper level."
The Ego School first proposed this concept and called it "force particle", but it was inappropriate to apply ethical relationships to magical concepts, so it was renamed "particle".
Both the Time School and the Location School are exploring in the macro direction, but the Self School is exploring in the micro direction.
With a thought, Zhao Xing began to regulate the five elements in his body, trying to observe the existence of the "five elements particles" mentioned by the Self School.
But no matter how hard you try, the five elements of energy in the body can only be seen in the shape of a "column" from an introspective perspective.
"The first level is the Yin-Yang Self-transcendence Sutra, where the five elements are like pillars. Observe the five elements of self and adjust the balance of the five elements. You can only reach this level."
"The second level, the five elements of qi are like silk, you can see the five elements of qi in the body are intertwined, and it can also regulate at a deeper level."
"The third layer, the five elements particles, are almost endless."
A gust of strong wind appeared at Zhao Xing's fingertips, harvesting the dry Yuan rice around him.
"rise!"
As the strong wind blew, the rice stalks and leaves automatically formed themselves into a "straw man".
"My operating method is no different from before, but this straw man has only barely reached the first level."
There were several straw men behind Zhao Xing, one of which was a straw man made with firecrackers as the basis for sacrificial death.
"The difference is so great because the fire energy contained in firecrackers is higher in level than that of Yuandao."
"It's almost impossible to make a straw man based on Yuandao as strong as a straw man based on firecrackers."
"To transform the essence of life, even a first-rank minister of agriculture cannot do it."
Zhao Xing observed for a while and felt that the practice of "Yin Yang Self Sutra" was more difficult than other secret books, and more obscure and difficult to understand.
It is also very easy for people to get trapped and lost in the endless microscopic world of the five elements.
“To analyze the essence of life, let’s wait until we reach the fifth level.” Zhao Xing gave up this way of cultivation and decided to learn by copying.
It is not necessary to know why it is so. In the early stage, the Self-Education School focuses on academic studies and then talks about enlightenment after the fifth level.
"As long as I observe the evolution of life in the original dojo, it will be of great benefit to the practice of the straw man method."
Zhao Xing rode the mighty gust of wind and flew over the fields, carrying the straw man behind him.
Soon he found a fast-growing and decaying firecracker forest.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The firecracker forest is simply a minefield, as they grow and decay quickly, and then explode naturally. Although the power of a single explosion is not great, the number of them is too large, and the effect caused is horrific.
The entire sky was painted red, but the firecracker forest was also covered by a magic circle. Zhao Xing found a suitable place and began to comprehend the explosion of the power of fire under different circumstances.
Four hours later, Zhao Xing changed his location and headed towards another planting area in the original Taoist temple.
That was a place where 'Flint Vine' grew. The ground was covered with Flint Vine, and the earth turned into a mixture of green and red.
Zhao Xing collected materials here to make straw men for sacrificial explosions, and constantly compared the power of the finished straw men.
Two hours later, he flew somewhere else.
[You have woven a 'Sacrificial Explosion Straw Man', the Sacrificial Explosion Straw Man method progress +200]
[You have woven a 'Sacrificial Explosion Straw Man', the Sacrificial Explosion Straw Man method progress +300]
You knitted...
As time went by, Zhao Xing's progress in the Straw Man Technique was improving rapidly.
The number and variety of plants in the original Taoist temple is completely unimaginable. Here Zhao Xing can find any kind of plant he has seen in books. There are several sixth-level plants of each attribute!
The original dojo has undergone a unique evolution, including plants of every type below level 7. Of course, in order to ensure that the magic array of the original dojo can operate perfectly, nothing here can be taken out.
The straw man made of materials by Zhao Xing will explode after half an hour, and then be crushed by a force, turning into the purest five elements power, and returning to the original position of the dojo. It is also forbidden to take the fruits in the original dojo. The reason is the same. If you take them, they will be extracted and returned to their original positions.
This is a place for contemplation and can only be used for contemplation.
Even so, the benefits that the original dojo brings to people are enormous!
It can be said that this is a treasure land with endless materials and all kinds of materials, and Zhao Xing can practice the straw man technique to his heart's content.
Moreover, by observing the rapid growth and decline of plants, even without analyzing their essence, his understanding and application of the Five Elements is naturally deepening.
Even if a poor student comes to the Original Dojo and stays in this environment for a long time, the evolution of each plant is like a 'Teacher of Nature', performing magic before your eyes all the time... No matter how bad the student is, he can learn something.
Twelve hours later, the straw man explosion technique reached the seventh level.
Twenty-four hours later, the straw man exploding technique broke through to the ninth level.
"It's worthy of being the treasure land of Taicangyuan." Zhao Xing sat cross-legged on a huge rock, looking at the dark red straw man in front of him. It looked ordinary on the surface, but inside it was condensed with terrible fire power, like a volcano that would erupt at any time.
"I gained insights in this treasure land, and received endless materials for my practice. I adjusted my practice direction based on the evidence on the panel. In just 24 hours, I was able to advance from the fourth level to the ninth level!" Zhao Xing was a little excited.
"Sleep for an hour first, then practice the 'Shenyong' straw man technique after an hour."
Zhao Xing fell asleep immediately, and soon his breathing became light.
Time passed, and soon it was the hour of Mao on July 30th.
At this time, it was already the morning of the seventh day that Zhao Xinglai came to the original Taoist temple to meditate.
"It's time to go. In the past seven days, not only have I made great progress in the Straw Man Technique, but my Condensation Technique has also gone from the seventh level to the ninth level."
Zhao Xing flew to a deep blue vortex, which was the exit of the original dojo.
"If you don't leave now, you'll starve to death here."
You are not allowed to take anything out of the original dojo, and the same applies to coming in. You are also not allowed to eat anything inside, so Zhao Xing did not eat a drop of water or a grain of rice here.
"Shu~"
After flying out of the original dojo, he appeared in Taicang Courtyard.
Zhao Xing immediately ran to the restaurant and ate and drank.
After eating and drinking, he flew towards the Wanfa Palace.
One after another, human figures flew towards the Wanfa Palace.
Because once midnight passes, the fourth level of test will begin.
All the Si Nong who were meditating in various places in Taicang Court would rush back.
Of course, most people would directly comprehend in the Wanfa Palace. After all, only the upper-class geniuses could go to this treasure land to comprehend for free.
The rest of the people want to comprehend? They have to accumulate points. For example, for a lower-level genius, if you save all the points given out for free every month without eating or drinking, it will take you half a year to accumulate them.
"Whoo~"
The Cloud-Stepping Boots landed on the ground, the clouds and mist dissipated, and Zhao Xing landed on the Performance Square again.
"Zhao Xing, this way." Cao Shuang waved his hand. There were some people around him at this time, most of them were geniuses from the Institute of Geology. "I heard that you went to the Yuanchu Dojo to meditate. How was your enlightenment?"
"It's okay." Zhao Xing said with a smile.
It was indeed OK. Divine Bravery, Giant Shield, and Sacrifice Detonation were all ninth-level, and Shapeshifting and Invisibility had also broken through the seventh level. He was purely practicing the Straw Man Technique, but the Wasteland Condensation Technique had also made some breakthroughs.
The value of comprehending the treasure land is very significant for Zhao Xing. I am afraid that other top-level geniuses are not as good as him.
"What kind of straw man have you turned seven times?" asked Zhuang Ziqing beside him.
"The only skills of the seventh level are Invisibility and Shapeshifting." Zhao Xing answered. Sacrifice Detonation, Divine Bravery, and Giant Shield are all ninth level skills.
"Only if it's used well." Han Bing said coldly, "It makes me want to hit someone just by hearing it."
The intermediate level straw man technique was rarely circulated in the original army, and only Liu Tianning had the complete set.
It was obvious that Zhao Xing had not reached the seventh level before, but had only recently achieved success in his studies.
"You actually have such a high talent in the Straw Man Technique." Zhuang Ziqing couldn't help but say, "I didn't sleep much in the past seven days, and I only managed to make the Straw Man Technique reach the seventh level."
"I was in the original dojo, and I didn't get much sleep."
"Can you guys stop working so hard?" A dark-skinned, capable young man nearby said, "Especially Zhao Xing, you've caused me so much trouble."
Zhao Xing looked at the man who was speaking in confusion. His name was Cai Jin, and he was Lu Pin's student. But he was just an acquaintance of him. How could he be harming him?
"Brother Cai, why do you say that?"
"Yes, Brother Cai, why did you say that?" Cao Shuang and Zhuang Ziqing were also puzzled.
Cai Jin looked at Zhao Xing and said, "My teacher told me to follow your example and study hard for eleven hours every day."
"This..." Zhao Xing was speechless.
Cao Shuang said, "Brother Cai, why don't you just disobey him? Can Lu Bang still keep an eye on you for twelve hours?"
Cai Jin pulled out a lightning-shaped jade pendant from his neck: "Do you think I don't want to be lazy? Look at what this is? It's a jade pendant that my teacher made for me to wake me up!"
"I can only sleep for one hour at noon every day. If I sleep during the rest of the time, the jade pendant will emit a lightning bolt that will spread all over my body!"
At this point, Cai Jin was a little excited: "I can't take this thing off yet. Once I want to take it off, it will generate electricity immediately!"
"I used to have an easy life in Taicangyuan. I could rest for six hours a day."
"But since Brother Zhao took second place last time, the teacher gave me this jade pendant as a reward."
"Do you know how I got here these days?"
"Hiss..." Hearing Cai Jin's words, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Lupin is forcing people to "hang their heads on the beam" and "pierce their thighs with a needle".
Too cruel!
Zhuang Ziqing said that he only slept for one hour a day, but in fact his rest time was longer than that.
If he was tired and wanted to rest, he could do so. He thought he had suffered enough.
Unexpectedly, Cai Jin suffered even more than him.
"Brother Cai, please accept my condolences." Zhuang Ziqing patted Cai Jin on the shoulder.
"Brother Cai, you have worked hard. It will pass if you bear with it." Zhao Xing bowed.
"No wonder Brother Cai always looks so numb. It turns out there is a reason behind this. That Lu Bang is really a rude person." Cao Shuang said. "Why don't you let Zhao Xing sleep with old man Lu for a few days? Maybe you will feel better."
"How can you comfort people like this?" Cai Jin gritted his teeth. "And you bastards can't even hold back your smiles."
"Hahahaha." Zhao Xing, Cao Shuang, Zhuang Ziqing and others all laughed.
Just as everyone was laughing and talking, a figure suddenly flew out from the main hall of Wanfa Palace.
"It's midnight, the fourth test begins!"
