Beast Taming·Chapter 85: Building the Foundation
"Pull the earth's energy!" Shi Yan was shocked. After coming to his senses, he said with some disbelief and ecstasy. His mind shook and the drill formed by the spiritual power collapsed.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were bright as stars, his heart began to beat uncontrollably, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but draw an arc of excitement.
"The air from the sky descends, the air from the earth rises, the heaven and the earth are in harmony, and the grass and trees begin to sprout." The earth's air is the spiritual energy bestowed by the land and mountains. It is one of the two energies of heaven and earth. It is a fundamental element that makes up the world and an important substance for the generation of spiritual power!
Shi Yan was cheered up and probed underground again, carefully contacting the earth's energy, and then tried to bring some of it out.
Carefully releasing it, one end of the spiritual power emitted a soft light blue halo, and when the halo touched the earth's energy, it quickly merged with it. Then, Shi Yan was delighted to find that a drop of earth's energy the size of a water drop slowly moved towards Shi Yan's spiritual power, followed by two, three, four...
As more and more small beads of earth energy appeared, they eventually formed a small stream that entangled Shi Yan's spiritual power.
Shi Yan carefully withdrew his spiritual power, and the earth energy slowly followed along with the spiritual power.
"Ha! It's done!" Shi Yan looked at the 'little drop of water' wrapped in soft light in his palm with surprise, his eyes moved, and his eyebrows showed joy. This 'little drop of water' was crystal clear, glittering, and exuded an alluring fragrance that was refreshing. Shi Yan absorbed the earth's energy into his body, and suddenly a cool and refreshing feeling swept over his body. All the pores on his body opened up, making Shi Yan moan involuntarily in comfort. What's even more amazing is that the spiritual power in the body actually started to operate on its own because of the intervention of the earth's energy. Although the spiritual power was not controlled by the master and operated on its own, Shi Yan did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt that the meridians in his body were being slowly tempered by the spiritual power.
After this wonderful and indescribable feeling slowly disappeared, Shi Yan looked inward at his body and found that all the meridians that had been damaged by the extreme cold air had now healed!
The air of the earth actually has such a magical healing effect. Shi Yan had no idea about this before.
Shi Yan was overjoyed, his face flushed with excitement, and his black eyes flashed with bright light. He did not hesitate to go deep underground again, absorbing more earth energy into his body, and that wonderful feeling appeared again! Wherever the earth energy passed, the damaged body healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In this way, Shi Yan hid in the cave, released his spiritual power, drilled into the ground, absorbed the earth's energy, and washed his body... He kept repeating the same thing. After half an hour, Shi Yan's technique of absorbing the earth's energy became more and more skillful, and the speed became faster and faster. The scars in his body were also healing rapidly. After nearly half an hour, the wounds in his body had all recovered, and his physical condition had made a qualitative leap compared to before!
Suddenly, Shi Yan's whole body trembled, and two dazzling rays of light burst out of his half-closed eyes.
Heat waves rose around his body, and with a hissing sound, a small ice-blue flame shot out from Shi Yan's palm and instantly enveloped his entire arm. The ice-blue flame swirled and spread around his body.
The little monkey jumped backwards and looked at Shi Yan in surprise, "Eh?"
The temperature in the cave suddenly dropped, and a layer of crystal frost condensed on the stone wall. Transparent ice pendants were hung near Shi Yan. The flames quickly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, his whole body was burning with ice-blue flames. Shi Yan looked like a fire man. The flames were so cold that a thin layer of ice crystals condensed all over his body. Only the Wupin Cold Fire could handle the flames dancing on the ice.
"It's so cold!" Shi Yan's thick eyebrows were twisted into a knot, he gritted his teeth, exhaled a cold breath, and his body trembled. "Oh, it's been a long time since I felt this way! Just like that bitingly cold snowy night, the sadness that chilled me to the bone is beyond words!"
Just when Shi Yan was about to collapse as he could no longer endure the biting cold, the flames on his body suddenly turned from blue to red, and in the blink of an eye turned into a violent, scorching flame.
As soon as the red flame appeared, the surrounding temperature instantly rose, the ice layer vaporized directly, and boiling water vapor filled the cave. At this moment, Shi Yan looked very scary, his clothes had been burned to ashes by the red flame, revealing his red skin, and he looked like a cooked lobster under the steam!
His body was so red that it seemed to be dripping with blood, and his eyes were bloodshot, which was extremely horrifying.
The two extremes of cold and heat made Shi Yan grit his teeth, it was so painful!
Heart-wrenching pain came from every part of his body, and his face suddenly twisted.
The skin burst open under the scorching heat, and trickles of blood dripped down, vaporizing before hitting the ground.
"What's wrong with me?" Shi Yan's mind remained clear despite such pain. Although he didn't know what was happening to his body, he still made the right choice!
"Myriad earth energies are at my disposal. Photograph!"
Shi Yan turned one hand into a claw, slapped it down suddenly, and then lifted it up, and several streams of earth energy gushed out from the ground. The earth energy was shaped like a long dragon, surrounding him, and then madly poured into Shi Yan's body.
The little monkey also seemed to like the earth's air very much. He quickly followed suit and sat down cross-legged, squinting his big round eyes and breathing in the earth's air.
With the infusion of this powerful earth energy, it was like dropping a huge rock into a calm lake, splashing huge waves.
As more and more energy poured in, a faint warm yellow light appeared on the surface of Shi Yan's body. The flames were still burning fiercely, but he could no longer feel the pain of the burning flames. The flames on his body alternated between red and blue. The cave was sometimes freezing cold, and sometimes scorching hot. The surrounding rocks became extremely fragile.
In addition to the earth's energy, the rich water spirit power of the Far North was also being sucked in by the cyclone and began to be madly infused into it.
All the power of the water spirit was integrated into the ice-blue flame, making its color lighter, as dazzling and mysterious as colored glaze.
The spiritual power surging in the surrounding heaven and earth was becoming more and more rapid. In the end, Shi Yan's body almost turned into a black hole, continuously absorbing the energy that was madly pouring into his body.
"Ah!" Shi Yan finally couldn't help but howl like a wild beast.
The blood vessels all over his body bulged out, like red-hot iron wires, covering his entire body.
Suddenly, two fish in the heart and dantian jumped out and surrounded Shi Yan. Nourished by the earth's energy, the fish's bodies shone brightly, emitting a soft light. The white fish chased the tail of the black fish, and the black fish also chased the tail of the white fish. They formed a circle, half black and half white, just like Tai Chi.
Suddenly, the earth energy that was originally flowing towards Shi Yan changed its direction and rushed madly towards the Tai Chi formed by the Yin and Yang fish. In the center of the Tai Chi, where the earth energy gathered, a shining glass slowly appeared. The glass was beautiful, crystal clear, ever-changing and gorgeous. It gradually grew larger and its shape changed, as if a dexterous pair of hands was carving it.
Eventually, Tai Chi decomposes, Yin and Yang dissipate, and Pisces returns to its place.
The dense black and white mist slowly dissipated, and a glass vase that was as bright as a star and half filled with pale white liquid was suspended in the air.
With a loud bang, there was a shocking sound, rocks shattered, and glaciers collapsed.
Since all the cultivators went to Hanji Mountain, no one noticed what was happening here.
When the smoke cleared, the cave where Shi Yan was located had become a rubble field, with broken mountain ice and rocks everywhere.
Suddenly, a relatively complete piece of stone fell off, revealing a dark hole underneath. A strong and tall black shadow stood up in the hole, with a pair of eyes as bright as stars, emitting two dazzling rays of light that were captivating.
The black shadow slowly raised his right hand, and suddenly the ground shook. Dozens of streams of earth energy gushed out, instantly shattering the gravel into powder.
Shi Yan raised his lips of moderate thickness into a soul-stirring smile, his charming eyes half-closed into a crescent shape, his eyebrows and eyes were filled with unspoken ecstasy, he never thought that he would break through unexpectedly! "Hahahahaha..."
Shi Yan's hearty laughter echoed across the ice field.
It’s not easy. After so many years, I finally opened the door to cultivation and stepped into the true path of cultivation!
The little monkey climbed onto Shi Yan's shoulder and looked at Shi Yan with joy.
Shi Yan caressed the little monkey's head lovingly and said with a smile: "My cultivation has already caught up with yours, you better work hard!"
He changed into a new piece of clothing and gathered all his spiritual power. Suddenly, the clothes swayed in the wind, as if a wave of air was emanating from Shi Yan's body.
Shi Yan's feet gradually left the ground and floated three meters high in the air.
"Is this what it feels like to fly on your own?" Shi Yan did not use the flaming wings of the transformation talisman, nor did he use the magic sword, nor did he step on the spirit beast, but relied on his own cultivation to float himself into the air. However, flying without the help of external objects consumes too much spiritual energy. Shi Yan felt exhausted after maintaining it for a quarter of an hour, and had no choice but to return to the ground.
"If you want to fly freely, you probably have to reach the Qi Condensation Stage!" Shi Yan sighed slightly, feeling a little disappointed. Although you can fly with wings and a flying sword, it is not as free as flying on your own.
This trip was really worth it. Not only did I achieve a breakthrough in my cultivation, reaching the foundation, and cultivating my second life spirit, I also learned about the hidden function of the dharma: drawing the earth's energy! Being able to use the earth's energy means that when you stand on the ground, you have unlimited spiritual power to use, making you invincible!
With a single wave of his hand, a glazed vase appeared from thin air and landed on his palm.
The pale white liquid in the vase exudes a rich fragrance, like spring water from heaven, which makes people feel refreshed.
This...this...this is the condensed earth energy...earth milk!
Shi Yan was extremely shocked!
