Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 171 If you want to learn quickly, sleep with your master
While practicing over and over again, Tang Zheng himself was also thinking about where the problem lies.
Selection, grinding, purification, crushing...
You will become more and more proficient with each step and there will be no technical problems .
The real problem is that his star power doesn’t seem to be strong enough!
Because of the lack of star power, it is extremely difficult to deal with. I often try very hard to circulate the star power but still get little effect.
"Do I have to break through to the peak of two stars, or even three stars, before I can deal with this ice stone?" Tang Zheng frowned slightly.
"Hmm?" Lu Huang looked up at Tang Zheng after finishing processing the materials in his hands. "What trouble did you encounter?"
Tang Zheng handed over the ice stone in his hand.
Lu Huang took a look and stroked his forehead. "My fault. Your performance in casting was so outstanding that I always forgot that you are only a two-star warrior. You are really incapable of crushing this ice stone directly."
After hearing what Lu Huang said, Tang Zheng was speechless.
It turned out that his previous performance was too eye-catching, causing Lu Huang to forget that he was just a weak little middle school student and assigned himself a high-level math problem of university difficulty!
No wonder I still can't cry after all this trouble...
However, when he saw the hard, cold Ice Stone in his hand, Tang Zheng held his breath and asked, "Master Lu, with my current strength, is there nothing I can do with this Ice Stone?"
After listening to Tang Zheng's words, Lu Huang nodded slightly, agreeing with his spirit of facing challenges head-on. After pondering for a moment, he said, "There is indeed a way, but this is a secret technique developed by a weak casting expert in Bailianfang in the past. It is generally not passed on to others..."
When Tang Zheng heard this, he suddenly remembered the words of an NPC in his previous life: "Our craft is only passed down to girls, not boys. If you want to learn it quickly, sleep with the master..."
Seeing Tang Zheng suddenly turn pale, Lu Huang thought that he was deeply hurt by his words, and then said: "But it doesn't matter, you will be a member of Bailianfang sooner or later. It doesn't matter if I teach you now. As long as you don't spread it to others, there will be no problem."
Tang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Lu Huang's words: "Thank you very much, Master."
Lu Huang nodded and said, "The secret technique I am going to pass on to you is called 'Power Accumulation and Pressure Applied Method'."
"Accumulate power and apply pressure?"
"Well, you can't crush the Ice Stone now because your total amount of star power is not enough to create enough pressure!"
“That’s right…”
"However, if we can accumulate the star power, wait until it reaches a sufficient pressure, and then suddenly release it, we can greatly increase the pressure of the star power on the material!"
After listening to the idea of this secret technique, Tang Zheng felt as if something had suddenly become clear to him.
Indeed, through accumulating power, the star power is like water stored in a dam. When the gate is opened to release the flood, the pressure reached is definitely several times higher than usual!
"However, although this idea is simple, it is very difficult to succeed in practice! Because, star power can only be accumulated in large quantities in the life palace, and the star veins can only allow star power to flow in the body. The life palace is a lake or sea, and the star veins are rivers... The predecessors of Bailianfang also went through a lot of thinking and experiments, and finally created a unique way for star power to flow, which can allow star power to accumulate in the star veins of the palm."
As Lu Huang spoke, he drew a concise diagram of the flow of star power for Tang Zheng.
How does the star power flow in your hands, how does it form a unique circuit, and how does it achieve the effect of accumulating power...
One picture, clear and concise.
Tang Zheng looked at the star power flow diagram and couldn't help but secretly praise it as amazing.
The star power on the blueprint flowed forward and backward in the star veins, gathered in the palm of his hand, and formed a vortex-shaped star power circuit.
In this way, the star power that was originally unable to accumulate in the star veins was firmly bound in the palm of the hand and gradually strengthened!
"Most of the secret techniques of Bailianfang require a very high level of control over star power. This 'power storage and pressure method' is no exception. If you can't control the star power smoothly, you won't be able to successfully gather the vortex. If you can't perfectly restrain the star power after it gathers into a vortex, it can easily cause star power disorder and damage the star veins." Lu Huang said.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Tang Zheng's star power control was extremely strong and his foundation was so solid that he was completely confident, he would not have taught Tang Zheng such a dangerous technique.
The power is accumulated in the palm of the hand. If the ability to control the star power is not enough, it is not uncommon to directly destroy the palm!
Tang Zheng said nothing. He carefully comprehended the principle of the star power operation of this secret technique, nodded slightly to Lu Huang, and started to try this secret technique directly.
"One yin and one yang, one forward and one reverse..." Tang Zheng separated two equally powerful star powers in his life palace, and each passed through the lunar star and the solar star. The two star powers instantly touched Tang Zheng's arms, one warm and one cool, and slowly flowed into the star veins in his palm.
Tang Zheng's mind was completely immersed in the star veins in his palm...
He slowly and carefully controlled the two star powers to gradually gather towards his palm from different directions.
After a slight sound, Tang Zheng felt that the two star forces finally collided!
The star vein in the palm of his hand also felt a tearing pain. He clenched his teeth tightly and did not relax the control of the star power at all. With the impact of the collision, a small vortex formed in the palm of his palm.
The star power continued to be transmitted, the vortex became larger and larger, and the star power that gradually flowed through generated a considerable suction force.
The star power gathered in the vortex on the palm of the hand, and more and more of it gathered. Even with the naked eye, one could see that a silver vortex like the center of a galaxy lit up in Tang Zheng’s palm...
As the star power accumulated, Tang Zheng felt the pressure of the star veins in his palm becoming greater and greater, and it was gradually out of control.
He knew that he could not panic at all. His palm was like a pressure cooker, which would explode if he was not careful. He had to wait for a perfect opportunity to release the star power and crush the ice stone in his palm.
The time is now!
An idea suddenly flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and he immediately released all the star power in his hand.
Hiss - the originally extremely cold ice stone was actually crushed by the huge pressure of the star power and emitted a faint white mist.
Tang Zheng tried his best to control and guide this violent torrent of star power, and in just a moment, he crushed the ice stone.
A warm and transparent crystal bead remained in Tang Zheng's palm.
The crystal bead was no longer as bone-chillingly cold as before, but instead gave off a faint warmth!
Tang Zheng couldn't help but show a look of surprise: "Yin is the opposite of Yang?!"
"Yes, this is a top-quality auxiliary material for making low-level equipment, Kunxin Yanghuo Pearl, which is a level better than Taiyin Yuantie." Lu Huang looked at the crystal pearl in Tang Zheng's hand and said with satisfaction.
Even Luo Fei who was standing by stopped what he was doing and said in a depressed tone, "It took me three whole days to learn the 'Accumulating Power and Pressurizing Method', and that was a record among my peers. I didn't expect you to succeed in just one hour! It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others!"
Tang Zheng laughed, put away Kunxin Yang Fire Pearl, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this is called accumulation of strength for a sudden burst of energy..."
After saying that, Tang Zheng continued to crush the next piece of ice stone, wanting to strike while the iron was hot and consolidate his skills.
However, unfortunately, in the second attempt, when accumulating power, he failed to control it well and the gun went off accidentally, causing the ice stone that he had purified with great difficulty to fly out of his palm.
Tang Zheng watched as the small icicle stone flew rapidly from his palm into the sky and disappeared...
Soon, a huge black crow fell straight down from the sky and hit Luo Fei on the head. A transparent bloody hole appeared on his neck, and blood flowed all over his neck.
Luo Fei stared blankly at the black crow that fell from the sky, and asked in surprise: "Have you already thought about what to eat tonight? Is this the food you prepared in advance?"
Tang Zheng smiled awkwardly: " Ahem, well... let's eat something else."
"What to eat?"
"Besides...it's already very late, and a cold wave may break out in the cold pond at any time. We don't need the cold wave today, right?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Well, the cold wave is needed to fill the Wanhua Furnace when it is turned on," said Lu Huang.
"Then I'll take you to find a cave to rest." Tang Zheng stood up and stretched.
Lu Huang and Hua Yingxiu both stopped, packed up their things, and gestured to let Tang Zheng make the arrangements.
So, the group of people packed up all the equipment and materials, and under the leadership of Tang Zheng, headed straight for the cave where Shisan had once brought Tang Zheng, Tang Xiaotang and others to stay overnight.
"It's been quite some time since I left Wuqing Mountain last time. I don't know how Thirteen and the others are doing..." Tang Zheng couldn't help but smile when he thought of Thirteen's simple and wild smile.
The cave where Thirteen and his companions lived was not far from the cold pond.
Led by Tang Zheng, everyone quickly reached the door.
"Thirteen!" Tang Zheng shouted towards the entrance of the cave with a smile.
However, the response he expected did not come.
There was no answer except the empty echo coming from the cave .
Tang Zheng frowned slightly and strode into the cave.
The cave that was once full of little guys is now empty.
In the cave, there were still some traces of burnt campfires, some messy hay, and even some food scattered on the ground. These little guys seemed to be walking in a panic.
Otherwise, given their cherishment of food, they would never allow food to be wasted like this.
"Tang Zheng, what's wrong?" Luo Fei, who followed Tang Zheng in, asked in a daze.
"Oh, nothing." Tang Zheng shook his head and did not answer. He just found a few piles of hay, laid them neatly and said, "Everyone is tired today. Eat some dry food and rest early."
"Well, we'll continue tomorrow..." Luo Fei also knew that Tang Zheng was tired and it was impossible for him to have another big meal, so he just ate some dry food and went to sleep.
Hua Yingxiu stared blankly at the messy pile of grass for a long time - in her mind, she never thought that such a place was suitable for people to sleep.
However, after looking at the sky, she gritted her teeth, found a corner, and fell asleep.
"Hmm..." The grass pile was dry and soft. Hua Yingxiu felt like she was surrounded by a fresh and natural jungle. It seemed... not so bad?
