Chapter 72: Lotus Seed Yellow Paper, All Dharmas Are Elegant? (First Order Request!)

Zhao Xing entered the Temple of Heaven Square at exactly 7 o'clock in the evening. He comprehended the thunder method very quickly and used up all his skills. It was not even 5 minutes before 12 o'clock in the evening, and there was still nearly an hour and a half before 12 o'clock.

"There's still plenty of time." Zhao Xing glanced at the sundial and was about to continue checking the other two Lingxiu, but suddenly he saw a few familiar figures from the gaps between the crowd.

"It's Zong Shichang. He finally came up the mountain."

Zong Shichang and several others were resting in front of a pillar. There were three people beside him, with abundant blood and strong vitality. They were obviously the three masters hired by the Zong family for him.

Zhao Xing glanced around and saw a woman wearing a veil in a corner of the square.

It was Lu Qian who had failed to seduce someone and was beaten instead.

"You wear a veil to cover your face. Are you afraid that people will see your panda eyes?"

Lu Qian seemed to sense something, and with dark circles under her veil, she looked in a certain direction.

When he glanced at the straw man, his breathing suddenly became heavier.

"It's him! He's here too!" Lu Qian was so angry that her teeth were itching. She could recognize the other party's straw man even if it turned into ashes!

"Qianqian, what's wrong with you?" The woman holding the Liuqin next to her asked curiously, "You're really weird today. First, you put on a hat for no reason and refused to take it off. When I talked to you, you were absent-minded."

"I'm fine, Sister Mu, I just feel a little uncomfortable. Don't ask me anymore." Lu Qian didn't want to tell everyone about her experience. At least she had to wait until the scars were healed. Her eyes were still swollen!
"There are more and more masters. When I first came here, there were only a few who were above the seventh level of Ju Yuan."

"Now it can be seen everywhere." Zhao Xing scanned the area with the 'Five Elements Observation' and knew that there would be a fierce battle for the first incense stick tonight.

"I don't know what happened to Shen Zhui."

Zhao Xing and Shen Zhui agreed to meet at the Temple of Heaven Square the next day and enter the temple together, but there is no sign of him yet.

There is still some distance from the Temple of Heaven Square to the temple, and it is quite dangerous for Si Nong to fight in close combat with so many people.

If we can join forces with Shen Zhui, we will have a better chance of success.

"Forget it. I'll find other ways if I don't want to come." Zhao Xing was ready to fight alone.

After all, you still have to be strong enough.

Retracting his gaze, Zhao Xing picked up the second copy of Lingxiu.

That was a blue lotus pod found and picked from the spring in the cave.

Four blue lotus flowers were found at that time, but only this one matured and produced lotus seeds.

"It's so cool, why is this lotus pod so cold?" Zhao Xing had always let a straw man hold it before, and he hadn't noticed much. But now that he was holding it himself, he felt a chill that penetrated his heart.

"The chill comes from these lotus seeds."

Zhao Xing took a look and saw eight lotus seeds on it, each of which exuded a crystal clear blue luster.

When observing things from the perspective of the Five Elements, one can immediately observe the strong power of water, but the structure is very strange. It is not a soft mass, but a state of ice crystals.

"Frost power?"

Gently picking one, Zhao Xing immediately knew how to use this smart thing.

"Edible Lingxiu, is it similar to Zhuguo?"

Put the lotus seeds in your mouth, chew and swallow.

It was very cold, and felt like biting an ice cube. Zhao Xing couldn't help but shiver.

A cold feeling spread throughout his body and Zhao Xing felt as if he was about to freeze to death.

The bone-chilling cold seemed to bring even the thoughts to a standstill.

"Sigh~"

Zhao Xing couldn't stand the cold any more, so he quickly practiced the Ju Yuan technique. The energy in his Dantian was immediately mobilized, like soldiers, besieging and biting the cold force.

Soon, his thinking returned to normal and Zhao Xing felt a little warmer.

When the vital energy in his body was "encircling" and "fighting" against the power of frost, Zhao Xing's vital energy was also constantly consumed.

But as long as one successfully swallows a unique 'ice power', it can be transformed into nutrients and replenished into the Dantian.

Although there is a difference in power levels, one gains while the other loses.

The vitality in Zhao Xing's body quickly gained the upper hand.

At the same time, every time Zhao Xing devoured a bit of frost power, his understanding of water magic in his mind increased.

"So that's how it is." Zhao Xing immediately understood the effect of this spiritual power, and thus devoted himself to comprehending and absorbing it.

After two quarters of an hour, the first lotus seed was completely digested.

[You took the water magic skill 'Ice Lotus Seeds', and your vitality increased by 800 points. ]

[Your affinity for water power increases, you gain enlightenment, and your proficiency in the Ice Rain spell increases by 1000 points! ]

[Your primary spell Rainfall has reached the eighth level, and your intermediate spell Ice Rain has reached the second level! ]

"The ice lotus seeds have both 'yuan' and 'fa'. They can increase vitality and enhance the comprehension of spells." Zhao Xing also understood the effect of this magical power.

The Thunder Stone is the pure spirit of thunder, while the Ice Lotus Seed is the spirit of Yuan.

“However, it is more difficult to consume this spiritual power than the Thunder Stone, and it takes longer.” Zhao Xing said secretly.

Thunder Stone is pure enlightenment.

The ice lotus seeds need to digest the "power of ice and frost" first, and then they can gain insights into spells from the power of ice and frost.

The former is from the outside to the inside, where Zhao Xing enters a state similar to "enlightenment" through Lingxiu, deepens his understanding of magic, and essentially improves his thunder magic.

The ice lotus seeds were digested from the inside to increase Zhao Xing's 'affinity for water power', so nothing unusual happened.

As affinity increases, your understanding of magic will naturally deepen.

"Although it's not as rapid as the Thunder Stone, in the long run, the effect of the Ice Lotus Seed is actually greater."

The influence of the Thunder Stone is only on the 'method', but the Ice Lotus Seed improves both the 'method' and the 'body'.

From now on, Zhao Xing will be able to cast water magic more easily and with greater power.

One is to give fish directly, the other is to teach people how to fish.

"Eat, eat, eat!"

After understanding the difference, Zhao Xing also knew how to quickly digest this intelligence.

It took quarter of an hour to digest the first ice lotus seed.

But the second one took less than a quarter of an hour.

The vitality quickly disintegrated the unique "Frost Power", and naturally gained more insights into water magic.

The third one, the fourth one... the time taken is getting shorter and shorter.

The time it takes to take all eight pills is much shorter than the time it takes to consume the Thunder Stone.

However, the subsequent effects have also been weakened accordingly.

"The first Frost Lotus Seed increased my spell perception by 1000 points. The second one increased it by just over points. After that, each time I took one, it decreased by about points."

"The total increase in water magic comprehension is 5420 points! It is beyond expectations!" Zhao Xing was a little surprised.

The Thunder Stone greatly improved the level of magic and even allowed Zhao Xing to come up with a new method.

The ice lotus seeds increase the affinity of water power! In other words, it increases the speed of cultivation.

The fact that he was able to gain many insights into water magic in a short period of time and increased his proficiency in Ice Rain's spell by a full five levels proved that the effect was quite exaggerated!

From now on, the training speed of the ice attribute spells in the water magic will definitely be faster than other spells, and it will be several times faster!
Of course, it is limited to the 'ice attribute spells' in the water element.

The upgrade of the primary spell Rainfall from level seven to the full level is just a secondary increase.

"My talent in ice magic is now so strong that it's terrifying." Zhao Xing couldn't help but have such a feeling.

Looking at the panel, Zhao Xing discovered that the affinity improvement was gradually weakening.

But the increase in vitality was relatively constant, and it did not weaken much until the eighth one, with a total increase of 6300 points of vitality.

Now he has reached 7456 points of the sixth stage of Ju Yuan. If you calculate carefully, it can be called the 'late stage of the sixth stage of Ju Yuan'.

Eight ice lotus seeds, this spiritual power finally allowed Zhao Xing's primary spell of rain to reach the maximum level.

The intermediate spell [Ice Rain] has reached the sixth level.

The substantial increase in vitality also has a hidden and long-term benefit, namely that the speed of practicing ice spells has increased several times.

“No wonder there are so many people climbing Lingshan Mountain, especially in the years when the mountain is opened, the competition is fierce.”

"If you don't have a good family background, but you have a talent, maybe you can change your fate."

Zhao Xing looked at the gradually increasing number of people outside, and from time to time someone looked at him.

If it weren't for the time to 'stop the war'.

I'm afraid there will be countless people rushing over to snatch his talent.

One person with three talents, so enviable!
However, as Zhao Xing used up two portions of Lingxiu.

That heart-pounding feeling also weakened a lot.

The number of covetous eyes also decreased.

“There’s one last one left.”

Zhao Xing looked at the thin yellow paper. It was covered with mysterious patterns, and it was shining brightly, looking very extraordinary.

The yellow paper was very thin. When Zhao Xing took it in his hand, his eyelids jumped: "Is this... Wanfa Lingxiu?"

What does it mean that all things are spiritual and beautiful?

All you have to do is take this yellow paper and stick it on your body.

Whatever spell you want to break through, that spell will break through!

And it was directly pulled to the ninth level! Of course, the spell itself could not exceed the intermediate level.

"The destiny is so great that all kinds of magic are bestowed upon me. This piece of yellow paper can make any intermediate spell reach the ninth level."

"It is the strongest among the middle-grade Lingxiu, and also the rarest."

"A sacred mountain like Donghu Mountain may not show a myriad of spiritual beauty once every 20 to 30 years, and I actually encountered one?"

Zhao Xing now really wants to reward Zhou Gang and Fang Jie with several hundred taels of silver.

Lucky star! This cause and effect is so great that it would be unreasonable not to give some benefits.

"Are they near the Temple of Heaven?" Zhao Xing stood up, glanced around, and actually found these two people.

"go."

Zhao Xing separated a straw man and walked towards Zhou Gang and Fang Jie.

"Brother Zhou, how did you and Brother Fang get injured?" a friend asked with concern, "Look at the wounds, they look like knife wounds..."

"Humph, it was those bastards Qin Feng." Fang Jie said bitterly, "He holds a grudge against my brother and I, and followed us secretly. When we found a beautiful place, he suddenly attacked us."

"What? How could that be? You all worship Master Zhang!" the friend was surprised.

"It's absolutely true. If a mysterious master hadn't passed by and helped us, we would have been killed by them..."

"Oh? What kind of expert is he?" the friend asked curiously.

"It's a senior from Sinong." Fang Jie was talking excitedly, but suddenly he saw a straw man walking towards him out of the corner of his eye, and he was suddenly stunned.

"It's me." Zhao Xing's voice came with the wind.

"Senior, what can I do for you?" Zhou Gang asked.

"Come here."

Fang Jie and Zhou Gang looked at each other and walked over reluctantly.

When they reached the straw man, Zhao Xing ordered it to split apart, revealing its true appearance.

"Senior..." Zhou Gang looked at the other person's overly young face and couldn't even utter the word "senior".

The contrast is too great!

They thought that the person who could perform Si Nong's magic to this extent must be at least an experienced official, but they didn't expect that he was so young!

"My name is Zhao Xing. You two don't have to call me senior all the time. Just call me by my name." Zhao Xing said with a smile.

"Brother Zhao, what can I do for you?" Zhou Gang's attitude became even more respectful. Zhao Xing was so young, he felt that he could not afford to offend him.

"I've said before that once I get something in the cave, I will definitely repay you." Zhao Xing saw Zhou Gang was about to open his mouth, and immediately waved his hand: "Don't mention the life-saving grace, one thing is one thing, I will do what I said."

"Now, you two tell me what you want."

Zhou Gang didn't say anything, but Fang Jie blinked: "If you really want me to say it, then we both want money."

money?
This is really difficult. Who would carry that thing up the mountain?

Zhao Xing thought about it and found that he really didn't have anything valuable to give. The things he robbed from Qin Feng were only worth twenty or thirty taels.

He had to keep the Tianyuan Pear elixir and other things for himself as a backup. The Sparrow Feather vestment? That was not appropriate either.

For a moment, Zhao Xing was really in a dilemma.

You said you would give it to me after we get down the mountain?
Once you pass the Forget-Sorrow Monument, who will remember it?
Just when he was in trouble, Zhao Xing caught a glimpse of Zong Shichang out of the corner of his eye.

"Wait for me here, don't move, I'll go get you the money."

The two of them listened obediently and waited in place.

"As for the competition for the first incense stick tonight, my requirements are not high. It will be enough if someone can get into the top ten. As for Yang Junxiong's matter, you don't have to worry about it. You just need to escort me down the mountain when the time comes..." Zong Shichang was discussing something with the people around him.

Suddenly, he noticed that someone around him looked strange, and immediately turned around to look over.

Zhao Xing possesses a myriad of spiritual talents, and it is hard not to attract attention.

"Zhao Sanjia, have you digested the spiritual power?" Zong Shichang asked.

"how do you know?"

Zong Shichang smiled and said, "When I arrived, I heard someone say that one person has three spiritual talents. He is indeed Zhao Sanjia. I saw you surrounded yourself with a wind wall and a straw man, so I didn't come to disturb you."

Zhao Xing waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I have something to talk to you about."

Zong Shichang said: "You say."

"Do you have any money on you? Silver bills would be best, but other valuable jade items would also be fine."

Zong Shichang nodded and said, "I do have some banknotes, how much do you want?"

Zhao Xing said: "Two hundred taels."

"Okay." Zong Shichang took out the money without saying a word.

A sturdy man with a sword next to him couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him, "Master, you lent money to others in the mountains, but you couldn't sign a receipt, and you won't remember..."

The Forget-Sorrow Monument will erase the memory of the past few days, including any means that might reveal what happened on the mountain, and of course written records are not allowed.

The other person looked at Zhao Xing scrutinizingly, as if asking him how he was going to return the two hundred taels.
Zong Shichang smiled and said, "I like him. Even if I only like him for these three days, he is worth two hundred taels. You don't need to persuade me."

Zhao Xing took the banknote and shook it: "It's not for nothing. I will definitely return it to you before I leave the mountain."

Zong Shichang smiled and said nothing more. Two hundred taels was just a small amount of money to him. He prepared these banknotes to spend when he went up the mountain.

"There's something else. Let's talk later."

"Please go ahead." Zong Shichang waved his hand.

Return to Zhou Gang and Fang Jie.

Zhao Xing handed over two silver notes worth one hundred taels.

Fang Jie and Zhou Gang were stunned, as if they didn't expect Zhao Xing to really give them money.

"Why are you standing there? Do you think it's too little?" Zhao Xing frowned.

"No, no, no." Zhou Gang and Fang Jie said quickly: "It's already a lot, thank you very much, thank you very much."

One hundred taels is enough to improve their lives by several levels. Even if they use it for cultivation and spend some time to break through to a higher level, it is more than enough.

"That's good. Remember, don't show off your wealth, and your mouth will bring disaster." Zhao Xing said calmly, "Go."

"Yes, we understand, and we will go down the mountain now." Zhou Gang and Fang Jie nodded heavily.

Obviously, this banknote was not only a benefit given to them by Zhao Xing, but also a hush money to keep them from revealing the secret of the cave.

Zhou Gang and Fang Jie were both honest people. After what happened to Qin Feng, they were able to save their lives and get a hundred taels of silver. They were already very grateful and naturally would not think about anything else. They immediately left the Temple of Heaven and went down the mountain.

After solving the problem with Zhou Gang and Fang Jie, Zhao Xing felt much more relaxed. He then took out the Wanfa Lingxiu card and put it against his chest.

Zhao Xinghui's intermediate spells include [Wild Growth], [Thunder Noose], [Thunder Palm], [Lightning Induction], [Ice Rain], and [Cold Wind].

Other mid-level spells are at least level five, so using Wanfa Lingxiu is obviously not cost-effective.

Only the Yin Feng hadn't even made one turn, it was just at the point of being mastered.

"The Yin Feng spell is definitely worth maxing out. It can blow away people's souls and is specifically designed to counter those melee professions with thick skin and flesh. It can also counter those that affect people's minds. It is one of Jun Si Nong's special skills."

"Also, Yin Feng is too difficult to practice. It can only be practiced during the Great Cold, Lesser Cold, and Qingming solar terms. Otherwise, you need an excellent place to practice."

"Even if there are other mid-level spells, you should first improve Yin Feng."

Zhao Xing closed his eyes, concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, constantly recalling the Yin Feng spell in his mind.

Gradually, a chilly feeling appeared on the "yellow paper" in the chest, spreading from the chest to the feet.

Then it extended all the way downwards, as if wrapping up Zhao Xing's soul, falling endlessly.

"Huwu~"

The sound of the wind, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, appeared in my ears.

Let Zhao Xing immerse himself in the depths of the earth's veins and truly feel the existence and operation of the Yin wind.

At the same time, countless techniques on the use of Yin Feng flooded into his mind.

The records on the panel were constantly being refreshed, and Yin Feng's spell progress began to rise rapidly.

Time passes slowly.

Sweat oozed from Zhao Xing's forehead and his face became paler and paler.

The moment the yellow paper on his chest completely disappeared, Zhao Xing suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils were deep and dark, as if hiding a terrifying storm.

"Whooo~" Everyone in the Temple of Heaven Square shivered for no apparent reason, as if a gust of wind had penetrated into their necks in the middle of winter.

Zhao Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The Yinfeng magic had reached the ninth level!
