Chapter 479
Because Zhong Ming wanted to conceal his advancement to the Foundation Establishment stage, his identification document remained at the Qi Refining stage, preventing him from purchasing overly profound divine sense jade slips.
It was an expensive deal, but he ultimately gritted his teeth and bought it anyway.
How could someone in the Foundation Establishment stage not know how to transmit their thoughts through divine sense? It's one thing if one's divine sense scanning is a little weak, but one must know how to transmit their thoughts through divine sense.
The strength of these two aspects largely depends on the strength of the soul. After completing the basic forging of the body and meridians during the Qi Refining stage, one can begin to strengthen the soul.
Generally speaking, basic books on telepathic communication and spiritual scanning will provide you with the simplest cultivation methods.
"Brother, don't be too ambitious. This is something that can only be cultivated by those in the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Hey, remember the spells I bought last time? I was going to give them away, but if I give them away, I have to include matching ones, right? I might as well wish him success in his Foundation Establishment and buy these too."
"Ha, what a true brother! They're so lucky to have you as a friend. I wish I had a brother like that." The unscrupulous merchant sighed, took a sip of his cheap tea, and unceremoniously accepted the money.
......
An hour later, Zhong Ming arrived at the central tower and asked for a room. It was said that the spiritual energy was quite abundant in the clouds filled with flying fish, and the equipment here would send some cloud energy into the room, which would be very beneficial to water-attribute cultivators.
Commonly known as "flying fish soup".
Zhong Ming requested a room and began studying the willow-leaf hidden weapon called "Spring Breeze".
He placed the newly acquired divine sense scroll on his lap. This hidden weapon had absorbed his blood and recognized him as its master. He decided to refine it with his spiritual power first, and then try to control it with his divine sense after mastering it.
Spiritual energy flowed through the willow leaves, and the capabilities of this hidden weapon gradually emerged in his mind.
It is not only thin and incredibly sharp, but it also possesses a special supernatural power: it can hide in its surroundings like a chameleon. This supernatural power is both useful and ineffective, as it consumes too much spiritual energy.
Once a hidden weapon leaves the body, its spiritual energy begins to slowly deplete. After using this supernatural power, it will quickly become ineffective due to the exhaustion of spiritual energy. In other words, it is impossible to leave the body to ambush for an extended period of time.
Unless... there's something connecting them.
It can be used like a paper clone with fine thread, or it can be attached to a certain magical artifact, such as the tip of a late spring cold snap, and charged by the spiritual power within the hook-and-sickle spear.
Zhong Ming had many ideas in his mind.
Initially, he planned to place the willow leaf inside the mother-and-child sword, with the child sword using the mother sword as its sheath. He intended to insert the thin willow leaf as a hidden weapon along with the child sword into the mother sword, so that when using the sword-drawing technique, the attack range would be unpredictable.
However, after trying it once, he discovered that the structure of the mother and child swords was so tight that it was impossible to fit anything inside.
Thinking about it carefully, this is too limiting for combat. He has always used the sword-drawing technique as an explosive move, and usually only uses it once in a battle. He can't just use the willow leaf throwing weapon only once, that would reduce the efficiency of his attacks too much.
Later, he tried to hide the weapon in the red tassel of his hook-and-sickle spear, using the tassel as cover to conceal himself.
One effect of the late spring cold snap that he almost never used was that the tip of his spear could burst out with a flash of light, the kind that would blind people.
This effect is the result of the creator of this magical artifact's attempt to salvage the situation when he made a mistake. The original plan may have been to create a more powerful ability, but in the end, only a flash of light remained.
With such a strike, it becomes even more impossible to see one's own movements.
Just then, he suddenly saw the book of divine thoughts placed in front of him, and he suddenly realized that he might have been wrong.
Why are you still clinging to the fighting methods used during the Qi Refining stage?
During the Qi Refining stage, one cannot cultivate divine sense and spiritual awareness. Even when controlling weapons, one mainly relies on the control of spiritual power. However, upon reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one can control with divine sense. With a single thought, the speed of control is faster and more concealed than with spiritual power, making it particularly suitable for hidden weapons.
How about "Extreme Flood Turbulence"? Let the water flow carry the hidden weapons out, and they'll hit wherever they want.
No.
He paced back and forth in the room, considering all the possible scenarios. The other party was prepared for them, or at the very least, they would be ready to trigger defensive spells or treasures. Hidden weapons, hidden weapons—he had to strike before the other party could react.
Think about it, think about when the other party won't take you seriously, and when is the best time to launch a surprise attack.
He paced back and forth, walking faster and faster, growing increasingly anxious, and the more anxious he became, the heavier his steps grew.
The heavy stomp on the ground even made his foot go numb.
He looked down sharply. Right, they were walking. When they're strolling, the other person's guard is definitely lower.
Because everyone does it, and everyone has to do it. If you've arranged a duel with someone, when you get there, don't you have to jump onto the arena? Taking a few steps and standing still is a perfectly normal action.
In that case, I can stick this willow leaf-shaped hidden weapon to the sole of my foot and suddenly release it while walking, hiding it on the ground. Wouldn't that be completely undetectable?
When the fighting breaks out, it will be a chaotic melee. There's no guarantee that the enemy won't suddenly move to my side and launch an attack. At that time, there will be no way to save me.
Moreover, some people haven't cultivated a protective aura that clings to their bodies, unlike body cultivators whose skin is as hard as armor. The Merfolk's Divine Light Flowing Armor is formed by the direct flow of spiritual energy on the surface of their scales, creating a protective film.
If you encounter a weaker opponent, you can use a jade pendant to create a defensive barrier, which will then be several inches away from your body.
Can you defend against an attack I launch from the soles of your feet? My hidden weapons are all within your defensive range.
Wait a minute, if it's used like this, shouldn't "Spring Breeze" be called... a landmine?
Zhong Ming excitedly began practicing and attempted to concentrate his divine sense for the first time.
Soon, more than six days passed. He had a basic grasp of how to use it, but he was not yet proficient. After injecting his divine sense into the hidden weapon, the connection was very weak. If he was far away, it might become uncontrollable or fail to execute his commands properly.
Even so, he was quite satisfied.
Once you're out of the pass, go chat with them. If the conversation goes well, reason with them; if it doesn't, well... you'll have to talk about... the ways of the world.
He put the face back on, but this face, which had only been reinforced with a mirror polishing brick, had become thinner in some places because it had been taken off and put back on. It still needed to be refined.
Zhong Ming washed his face and rubbed his skin.
Okay, let's go.
.....
The 135th Battalion had been waiting at the same spot for a long time. They came with great force, just like when they first proposed the competition a few months ago, with all the strongest members gathered.
Ge Sanqiu tried his best to maintain order, and even the title "Qing Yizi" was not enough at this point.
"So, you've agreed to a complete halt to private fights, on the condition that... there's one last fight?"
"No, let us reiterate, it's a three-year cessation of private duels. We won't cause any trouble during these three years, but after that, many of us will probably be at the Foundation Establishment stage. At that point, we won't have time to deal with matters at the Qi Refining stage." Mo Li's calm voice carried an undeniable pride.
It's like stating a fact.
"So, what about Master Cuihong?"
