Chapter 28 Namushu
Lin Mu was sweating and frowning.
For eight consecutive hours, there was no change in front of him!
Unlike the simple practice of the Five Elements in the past, the practice of "The Art of Plants and Woods" is extremely difficult!
"The Art of Plants and Woods" belongs to the Wood Element Art.
Unlike other Wood Element Arts, "The Art of Plants and Woods" is not gentle and long-lasting at all, on the contrary, it is extremely powerful. According to the jade slip, "The Art of Plants and Woods" can forcibly plunder the essence of plants and turn them into plant essence beads. This plant essence contains rich life essence, which is very beneficial to the growth of spiritual medicines and spiritual herbs.
However, this "The Art of Plants and Woods" is extremely difficult to learn. First, because it is too powerful and requires a high level of spiritual power, it is difficult to learn below the sixth level of Qi Refining; second, because the method of performing "The Art of Plants and Woods" is too complicated, it requires a high level of fingering, and the fingers must be extremely flexible to perform it freely. Another point is that it is difficult to find the object to plunder. In Qianyu Sword Sect, trees of all sizes cannot be cut down and destroyed at will. If those ancient trees that are hundreds of years old die inexplicably, they will definitely be responsible.
However, Lin Mu saw its extraordinaryness.
Plant essence beads can promote the growth of spiritual herbs and medicines. If he learns this method and makes a large number of plant essence beads, he can use them to ripen the spiritual herbs in Xuanyue Space. For example, cold tobacco that can only mature in April can be ripened in March if it is ripened with plant essence beads.
Plant essence beads are even more rare as materials for alchemy!
These benefits prompted Lin Mu to make up his mind to learn this method no matter what!
However, after practicing hard for eight hours in a row, there was no change in front of him.
The wood energy vortex mentioned in "Plant Secrets" has not appeared yet.
Lin Mu's ten fingers kept changing, and the rapidly changing phantoms were dazzling!
This speed can perform two spells at the same time for other spells. However, for "Plant Secrets", the speed is still too slow.
He placed his hands in front of his chest, his ten fingers changing positions, each finger changing position is different, and the spiritual energy is also running through his fingertips. He is very careful, afraid that the fingering will be wrong. He wants to condense a wood energy vortex with the change of fingers, but after half a day, there is still no trace of the wood energy vortex.
After eight hours of hard practice, Lin Mu's fingers have become sore and numb, and he is almost unconscious.
The effort and the reward are completely disproportionate!
Lin Mu stopped practicing for a while and read the jade slip again, this time, more carefully than before.
He chewed every word in "The Secret of Herbs and Trees" repeatedly, and a sentence suddenly broke into his mind, and he seemed to understand something.
"In a cup of tea, the fingering is completed, and the "The Secret of Herbs and Trees" begins to show its power, and a wood energy vortex will appear in front of him."
"In a cup of tea, in a cup of tea..." Lin Mu muttered to himself, understanding the meaning of this sentence, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I understand."
This "The Secret of Herbs and Trees" has very high requirements for fingering, which is not only reflected in the complexity of the fingering, but also requires speed. At least it will take a cup of tea.
Lin Mu remembered that it took him half a day to complete all the fingerings without any mistakes, at least an hour had passed, and it was still far from the cup of tea.
After finding the reason, he felt relieved. As long as there was a direction to work hard, everything would be easy. I was afraid that I would be like a headless fly, not knowing which direction to work hard in.
He calmed down and began to practice fingering, trying his best to speed up while ensuring that there were no mistakes. This time, the situation was much better. He only took more than half an hour to complete all the fingerings, but it was still far from the cup of tea.
He was shocked and saw hope, and stepped up his practice again.
But the more he practiced, the smaller the room for improvement. Until the seventh time, the time used was almost the same as the sixth time, about half an hour, and he could not improve it at all.
At this moment, his fingers were almost broken and completely out of control.
He even doubted whether people could really reach that speed.
But Lin Mu did not admit defeat, and still gritted his teeth and persisted in practicing. Later, the speed not only did not speed up, but it slowed down a lot.
He knew that this was too much, so he simply stopped and prepared to continue practicing tomorrow.
Looking at the sky, it was night again, and the moonlight was charming.
Lin Mu took the futon to the courtyard and began to sit cross-legged in meditation, letting the Xuanyue pendant absorb the moonlight.
When he saw the Xuanyue pendant, an idea flashed in his mind. Why not practice fingering in the Xuanyue pendant? One day in there is equivalent to two days outside.
Looking at his numb ten fingers, he decided to practice fingering in the Xuanyue pendant tomorrow.
Then, he sank into practice.
The Xuanyue pendant slowly absorbed the moonlight. When it was dawn, the color of the jade pendant changed slightly again, and the green gradually deepened.
Lin Mu entered the Xuanyue space, checked the growth of the spiritual grass, and then applied rain. Now that his cultivation has greatly increased, applying rain has become much simpler. The six acres of spiritual fields were all irrigated in less than an hour.
After applying rain, Lin Mu sat in the hut and continued to practice fingering.
Today is no different from yesterday.
Lin Mu performed the "Herbal Secret" over and over again, but with little effect. After a day, his speed improved only pitifully.
His fingering technique was stuck in a bottleneck, and he couldn't find a way forward.
This made Lin Mu extremely anxious.
While washing his face, Lin Mu found that his fingers were moving much slower in the water, and the resistance increased greatly. He suddenly had an idea, could he practice in the water?
He did it as soon as he thought of it. He fetched a basin of water and began to practice fingering in the water. After he performed the fingering, he found that it was indeed effective. This time it took an hour.
Seeing that he had a direction to move forward, he was full of fighting spirit and entered the Xuanyue space again to practice fingering hard.
Later, he didn't know how fast time was, but just kept practicing until he couldn't make any progress in the water. He stopped and began to try to perform the Grass and Wood Secret.
As soon as he performed it, he felt the difference. The fingering was no longer as obscure as before, and it was much smoother.
After a cup of tea, a wood energy vortex seemed to be formed, and his smile froze before it appeared. The wood energy vortex disappeared before it was fully formed.
He tried three times in a row, and it was the same.
His speed was still a little slower, just a little!
But that little bit was a natural barrier for him.
Lin Mu was not discouraged, he knew that he would definitely find a solution.
Since water doesn't work, I will continue to use sand. If sand doesn't work, I will continue to use stone.
He was completely determined and would not give up until he mastered the "Herbs and Trees Technique"!
He poured out the clean water in the basin and filled a basin of fine sand from outside.
He put his hands into the sand and practiced hard again.
The sand was completely different from the water. The resistance was doubled and the wear was very severe. In less than three hours, all his ten fingers were blistered.
He ignored it and continued to practice over and over again without stopping.
He stopped until his speed could not be improved in the sand.
His ten fingers were in excruciating pain, and he gritted his teeth to endure it.
After a short rest, he began to try to perform the "Herbs and Trees Technique" again. This time, he went all out!
Lin Mu's eyes were hazy and his face was full of determination.
Ten fingers changed rapidly, spiritual power flowed through the fingertips, the direction of each finger was different, but there was no mess at all, everything was in order, with a natural beauty.
In a matter of seconds...
A green wood energy vortex formed in front of him!
