Chapter Twenty-ninth Water Repelling Technique
As it got late, the two of them returned to Tao Ying's place first.
In the days that followed, once Yin Qi was free, Yin Tingxiu used Qi Control Technique to attack. Yin Qi's skills were not as good as others, and he often had no scruples and tried his best. Yin Tingxiu had to be careful not to hurt her, and it was very hard to practice.
When December first entered, Yin Qi felt that she had made great progress and had reached the level of practicing water control. She immediately went to Lu Kang and asked him to see her shoot archery.
Lu Kang called two young men with the same abilities as Yin Qi and participated in the experiment together. Whoever passed the exam could start practicing the water control technique.
The two teenagers practiced longer than Yin Qi, but they were both younger than her, which made Yin Qi feel even more stressed.
Fortunately, the exam was approaching, everyone was busy practicing their own practice, and there were not many onlookers. The two young men shot first, and they both controlled four arrows at the same time. The speed and accuracy of the arrows were not bad. Lu Kang nodded slightly while watching, and he should have made a judgment in his heart.
It was Yin Qi's turn. Seeing that the two senior brothers were not much higher than her, she felt a little confident and shot five arrows in one breath.
All five arrows hit the bull's eye, but their speed did not slow down. Lu Kang and the two teenagers on the side showed a look of surprise.
"It's only a month that can be improved to such a level," Lu Kang praised, "I really can't underestimate you!"
Yin Qi lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly, thinking that she should thank Yin Tingxiu well. His training method looks rough, but it is very effective in practice.
"You three can practice the water control technique, come with me!"
The three of them followed Lu Kang to the forest on the mountain and finally arrived in front of a waterfall halfway up the mountain. The waterfall was very small and the water flow was slow, and was covered by huge rocks and ancient trees. Yin Qi had stayed nearby but never found it.
Lu Kang looked at several large and small pools of water under the waterfall and said, "This is the entry point for the water control technique. You should have seen the first step in practicing this technique in books. You are immersed in living water, feel the shape, observe the meaning, and seek to communicate."
A young man asked, "'shape' is easy to understand, but what's going on with this 'intention'? Where can water have ideas?"
"Aquatic things produce all things, so they naturally have their own hearts. Never treat them as dead things!"
Lu Kang said this only, and when he saw the boy was puzzled, he asked again, and said, "It is useless to say more, you have to experience it yourself." He turned to Yin Qi, "There is a difference between men and women. Since you want to soak in this pool of water, you must not practice with them at the same time."
Yin Qi had been thinking about the matter of cultivation just now, and had long forgotten that she was a girl. Now that Lu Kang had revealed this matter, she was also worried.
The pool was born naturally. Although the location was more hidden, anyone could come over. The two boys naturally didn't have to worry about anything, but what should Yin Qi do?
Lu Kang had already thought of a countermeasure, and he said: "You can stagger the time, use Aqi before noon, and use you two in the afternoon. I will set a ban nearby, and you are the only one who can enter here before noon."
She had to attend morning class before noon. Yin Qi felt that she was at a loss, but there was nothing she could do. She could not delay her study at Qingluan Pavilion.
Lu Kang was very careful and appointed a small pool on the west side for Yin Qi, which was not allowed to be used by others. Then he told them some things about practice and took Yin Qi to the wooden house alone.
This is the first time Yin Qi has walked into Lu Kang's room. The room is not big and the furnishings are very simple. There are a few paintings hanging on the wall, which look very exquisite and simple. There are a few paintings of his own on the desk. It seems that Lu Kang is quite good at this.
Lu Kang took out a small bottle with a thin neck and a silver needle, and asked Yin Qi to stretch out her index finger.
"If you want to complete this formation, you must have your blood." He quickly stabbed Yin Qi's hand with a needle, and a few drops of blood quickly fell into the bottle. When he smelled the smell of blood, Yin Qi was instinctively disgusted, his stomach was a little sore, and his head became dizzy.
Lu Kang quickly covered the bottle and wrapped Yin Qi's wounds. His whole set of movements was like flowing water, and there was no discomfort. Yin Qi asked curiously: "Don't Master hate blood?"
"As long as you are a magician, you won't like blood," Lu Kang explained, "but if you see it a lot, you will get used to it."
Indeed, a wizard like Lu Kang must be knowledgeable, and a few drops of blood are nothing to him. Yin Tingxiu is only two years older than her, and he stays in the Shenhu Hall every day, probably without feeling about blood. After all, he is still a frog in the well and has never seen any of the world!
The next day, after morning class, Yin Qi hurried back to the herringbone class and went to the waterfall.
The formation set up by Lu Kang was not conspicuous. Yin Qi only felt that compared to yesterday, there were a few more stones of different shapes nearby, and several sags could be seen on the ground.
The formation belongs to the category of secret techniques, and is still too far away from Yin Qi. She had no intention of checking these changes and walked directly to the edge of the pond.
Even though she knew that she was protected by a formation, Yin Qi was still a little uneasy when she took off her clothes and was careful to detect the movements around her.
Regarding soaking in living water, the "Witch Sutra" clearly states that it is best to be naked, and Yin Qi really can't do this. For peace of mind, she planned to wear her middle clothes and prepare the clothes she used to change in advance.
Taking off her outer robe, Yin Qi slowly walked into the water. The cold water in December made her cold war, and her lips suddenly became blue and purple.
If she is an ordinary person, this behavior is like going crazy, right? But she is a spiritual disciple, a person who possesses spiritual power, can no longer bind her, cold, cold, sick and hunger.
The water in the pond was not deep, Yin Qi picked a suitable position and sat down cross-legged, and the water just flooded her neck.
The cold feeling quickly faded away and his body returned to some warmth. Yin Qi calmed down and began to meditate as usual.
The power flowed through her body, and Yin Qi felt that the water that wrapped her gradually became a little hot. At this time, she no longer felt any discomfort, but instead seemed to have returned to her mother's arms.
Feeling his form, observing his intention, and communicating with it. With this idea, Yin Qi imagined her body as a pool of water, slowly melting in this pool.
More than an hour passed quickly, and Yin Qi stood up from the pond reluctantly and changed into soaked clothes. Before leaving, she reached out to touch the water of the pond, and the temperature was much higher than when she first arrived.
With her hair slightly wet, Yin Qi went to Qingluan Pavilion like this. Jiang Yuenu saw her difference at a glance and asked, "What kind of bath should I take at this time?"
Yin Qi smiled and said, "It's not a bath. I'm practicing the water control technique and have been soaking in the pool just now."
Jiang Yuenu didn't understand the magic, but she found that Yin Qi was energetic and her skin was much whiter and tenderer than before, so she sighed: "Everyone in the world says that magicians are born beautiful. In my opinion, they are all practiced slowly during their practice."
Although it was a joke, Yin Qi thought Jiang Yuenu was quite reasonable. Since she entered the Lingtu Hall, her appearance has become more and more refined. Even Yunxiang has discovered it and often praised her.
When it was dusk, Yin Tingxiu saw Yin Qi, he stared at her for a while, and then said, "Is the water control technique good? His spiritual power has been greatly improved."
Yin Qi said in surprise: "Can you see?"
"You can see it when you reach my level," Yin Tingxiu smiled, "How is it, it's not frozen, right?"
"It was indeed very cold when I first entered, but I no longer felt anything. When I came out, the water in the pond actually became much hotter!"
It was Yin Tingxiu's turn to be surprised: "How long have you been there today?"
"More than an hour."
This made Yin Tingxiu unbelievable. When he began to practice the water control technique, it was also in December. No one could merge with the pool water to this point on the first day. They were all frozen to death and gritted their teeth before persevering in the water. Even Yin Tingxiu, who had made the fastest progress, adapted to the water temperature on the third day and made the pool water heat up on the fifth day.
Seeing him frowning and thinking, Yin Qi asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
Yin Tingxiu was unwilling to admit that Yin Qi was faster than he had made back then, and said vaguely: "It's okay, it seems that you've been practicing quite smoothly."
After hearing this, Yin Qi felt better and better.
After practicing this for a few days, Yin Qi accidentally started chatting with the two senior brothers who were practicing water control techniques. Only then did they realize that the two of them had not even adapted to the water temperature, and they had already left them far behind.
After some discussion, the two senior brothers found that Yin Qi had no secret, and they all practiced according to the master's instructions. They were eager to find the reason, so they pulled Yin Qi to find Lu Kang.
Lu Kang was sitting in the pavilion, looking at the scenery at the foot of the mountain. After listening to the three of them, he put down the teacup and said calmly: "No need to think too much. Water control is what female art masters are best at, and they usually learn faster than men."
"Why is this?" The youngest senior brother was a little unfair.
"A woman's body is similar to that of water, and the way of heaven is like this, no one can change it."
The two senior brothers were very shocked and walked down the mountain in a bad mood. Yin Qi still had some questions: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be more convenient for a woman to practice magic!"
Lu Kang smiled, "That's natural, but unfortunately you are at a disadvantage in terms of number of people, and there are too few female spirit disciples."
