Chapter 43 Awakening
The minds of Li Zhirui and the three of them were absorbed in the scroll. The mysterious power contained in it led them to watch the life of the turtle, and the final scene was fixed in the sea of turtles.
However, Li Shiqing, who was protecting the three people in the outside world, discovered that an extremely dim light that was about to go out flashed across the back of the turtle. If the monk had not had excellent eyesight, he might not have been able to detect this light.
"What is that?" Li Shiqing frowned slightly, but he couldn't even figure out whether the aura was good or bad.
But considering that he could get out of it smoothly without any problems, it shouldn't be a bad thing, at least it wouldn't hurt the three of them.
After observing the turtles in paintings for countless years, Li Zhirui had gained some understanding of the turtles and began to formally practice the method of visualization.
The first step of the method is to visualize the island where the turtle was born in the sea of consciousness.
Visualization, simply put, means observation and imagination, careful observation, and then imagining it in the sea of consciousness.
It's easy to say, but Li Zhirui has been unable to create an island in the sea of consciousness. Every time he visualizes it, the island will be broken, and the same goes for the other two.
And every time the island is broken, it will consume a lot of spiritual consciousness of the monks. Among them, Li Zhirui, who has the weakest spiritual consciousness, only failed twice and had to stop.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Shiren woke up, and another quarter of an hour later, Li Shilian also opened his eyes.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy to visualize the divine turtle!" Li Shiqing sighed.
"The Map of Turtles Controlling the Sea" is divided into five steps. Condensing the islands is only the first step, followed by visualizing the turtle eggs, the birth of the turtles, the turtles entering the sea, and finally the turtles controlling the sea.
But it’s normal to think about it. The visualization method with the attack method of spiritual consciousness is so easy to practice successfully?
"You have consumed too much of your spiritual consciousness. Go back and rest as soon as possible. Contemplation is not easy to learn, so there is no need to rush it."
You must not be in a hurry when practicing, especially this kind of contemplation method of practicing in the sea of consciousness. If you are not careful, your soul will be injured.
Li Zhirui put away the scroll and left the backyard with the two elders. On the way, Li Zhirui asked: "Grandpa Shilian, when are you going to look at the turtle painting again? Then we will go to the patriarch together."
Choosing a backyard might be a bit troublesome, but Li Zhirui didn't want to take the two elders back to his small courtyard because he didn't grow many elixirs in his yard.
If they knew this, Li Zhirui's future alchemy making would no longer be explained by the few elixir plants he planted in his yard.
"Let's go there once every seven days in the future." After saying that, Li Shilian turned his attention to Li Shiren.
Li Shiren is not unhappy about this. They haven't even completed the first step yet, so there is no need to watch the Turtle Picture every day.
After agreeing on a time, the three of them separated. Practicing contemplation consumes too much spiritual consciousness. Even Li Shilian, who has the highest level of cultivation, can't bear it and wants to go back and rest as soon as possible.
In the next few months, Li Zhirui learned two alchemy techniques every day, and then visualized the island. If his spiritual consciousness was consumed too much, he would start breathing spiritual energy to practice. Although his life was dull, Li Zhirui enjoyed it.
Moreover, Li Zhirui also discovered one thing, that is, after the spiritual consciousness is consumed and restored through practice, the spiritual consciousness will be enhanced. Although the effect is very weak, if you persist for many years, you will definitely see good results.
After Li Zhirui found out, he immediately told Li Shiqing and several elders, hoping to help them.
As for visualizing the island, after several months of diligent practice and Li Shiqing's guidance, Li Zhirui showed signs of success.
As a late-stage foundation-building monk, Li Shiqing's spiritual consciousness is far more powerful than the others, and in the past few months, he has also used the reason of seclusion to practice, giving his power to the elders.
Standardize the responsibilities of the elders, each responsible for certain family affairs, and then report to him once a month.
The reason why he did this was because Li Shilian found an opportunity to tell Li Shiqing the method proposed by Li Zhirui, and he thought it was a good idea. In the future, he would no longer need to be busy with mundane things and have no time like before. Practice quietly.
However, Li Shiqing still did not hand over the position of patriarch to Li Shiren. It was not because he was greedy for power, but because Li Shiren was really not suitable to be the patriarch!
This is not Li Shiqing's arbitrary decision, but a pertinent and correct judgment he made after leading Li Shiren to handle matters for a period of time.
There is no other way. Until Li Zhirui grows up, the position of clan leader can only continue to be held by Li Shiqing.
"grumble--"
On this day, Li Zhirui, who was taking care of the elixir in the space, suddenly heard a faint cry and looked towards the spirit lake with joy.
Daqing, who was lying on the bluestone and hadn't moved for several months, raised his head and looked around. When he saw Li Zhirui not far away, he shouted excitedly.
Daqing originally shed his shell in the outside world, but because Li Zhirui had been practicing contemplation and comprehending elixirs during this period, he was exhausted both physically and mentally. He really didn't want to move around, so he took him into his space.
"I finally shed my shell successfully!" Li Zhirui walked quickly to Daqing, and then he saw clearly Daqing after shedding his shell.
The originally hard turtle shell has now become a little softer, and its size is much smaller than before. And after shedding this shell, Daqing has broken through from the fourth level of Qi training to the fifth level of Qi training!
However, because a large amount of mana was consumed during the process of shedding the shell, even though Daqing now has the fifth level of Qi training, he does not have the corresponding mana.
Li Zhirui didn't pay attention to this matter. He had enough spiritual fruits and elixirs in his hands to allow Daqing to recover quickly.
"Are you hungry?" Li Zhirui looked at Daqing's eager eyes and knew what he wanted. He immediately took out a large amount of spiritual fruits from the storage bag and said, "If it's not enough, we can go to the hill to pick it later."
Li Zhirui planted more than a dozen spiritual fruit trees in the space, not many, but enough for them to eat every year.
Daqing nodded obediently, then buried his head in eating the spiritual fruits piled up in front of him.
"Why do I feel that Daqing has become a lot smarter?" Li Zhirui murmured to himself, but the classics did not say that after the tortoise sheds its shell, it will also increase its spiritual intelligence.
Really unable to understand what was going on, Li Zhirui chose to let him go. Anyway, this was a good thing. The smarter Daqing was, the better the two of them would work together.
After Li Zhirui took care of the space issues, he discovered that Daqing had fallen asleep.
Although Daqing successfully shed her shell, her body is still in a relatively weak state and it will take some time to recover.
Putting down the newly picked spiritual fruit in front of Daqing, Li Zhirui quietly left the space and prepared to start today's practice. A few days ago, he had a premonition that he would be able to visualize the island soon!
So these days, Li Zhirui is particularly focused on the practice of contemplation.
Speaking of which, Li Zhirui's practice of contemplation is not much slower than Li Shiren's, or the progress between the two is almost the same. As for the reason, it is still unknown.
Li Zhirui sank his consciousness into the sea of consciousness, imagining what Darong Island looked like. With his efforts, an island took shape little by little in the sea of consciousness.
The reason why it is Darong Island is because Li Zhirui is the most familiar with this island, and Li Shiqing and others also visualized Darong Island.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Zhirui suddenly opened his eyes and said, "We finally succeeded!"
Thank you for your great support!
