Lin Yi saw the pop-up in front of him. He was originally immersed in the enlightenment after the breakthrough in the [Art of Flowing Clouds and Wind], when suddenly he remembered something. He quickly opened the Title
System and clicked on the minor blessing state of the “Little Compassion Little Mercy” title before exiting the state.
At this moment, he saw his remaining Virtue Points. He had originally had 430 points, but now he had been reduced to 130 points. He had consumed 300 Virtue Points for the final step. If he activated the Mercy Shield, it could last for half a minute.
“Yuan Yuan, how much time has just passed?” Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask Yuan Yuan, then he removed the title [Newbie] and replaced it with [Petty Survivor].
Next, he had to consolidate and digest his understanding. Cultivation speed was no longer important, so he took up the title that hid his realm first. If he didn’t have the [Petty Survivor] title, he felt completely exposed, like being naked in front of others.
The reason he didn’t remove [Little Compassion Little Mercy] was to guard against sudden attacks by evil spirits. After all, in recent days, there’s been news from the front lines that the Conquest Army was gaining the upper hand, and the Xuan Yin Sect would surely counterattack. If they couldn’t win on the battlefield, wouldn’t they resort to sneak attacks?
The location where he was now was exactly in the direction of the Xuan Yin Sect’s route to the Liu Yun Sect. Who knew if he might encounter them on their return trip? It was better to be cautious.
Moreover, he hypothesized that high-level cultivators in the Xuan Yin Sect must have discovered the powerful capabilities of the Exorcism Charms and Rebirth Charms, and they would naturally want to investigate the source of these talisman templates.
So, he also had to be on guard against any new disciples who had just joined the Outer Sect of the Liu Yun Sect. There might even be spies from the Xuan Yin Sect among them.
“Immortal Master, not much time has passed, only about four or five breaths. I only said a sentence of romantic talk, ” Yuan Yuan replied somewhat curiously, not understanding why Lin Yi had opened his eyes just as he started cultivating.
Lin Yi kept his face calm, but his heart was filled with astonishment. Four to five breaths, which would be about three seconds per breath, would only be at most fifteen seconds. However, he felt as if one or two hours had passed.
It appeared that he had just entered a state similar to Enlightenment, not a minor enlightenment effect brought about by the “Color is Void” state. No wonder it had consumed 300 Virtue Points.
He felt that without the insight he had in the past three or four days, even if he used all 400 of his Virtue Points, he might not have been able to enter the Wind Transformation Technique.
“Alright then, let’s continue cultivating for a while,” Lin Yi came back to his senses and nodded. He looked at the information on the Cultivation
Techniques in the title panel and saw the progress: “[Art of Flowing Clouds and Wind] (Level 1) 0/1000”.
Seeing the numbers, he couldn’t help but laugh. It was indeed the Body Refining Techniques created personally by Ancestor Liu Yun, the experience value was ten times that of ordinary spells.
However, he has the bonus of cultivation speed, so even if it’s a thousand points of experience, it’s nothing to him.
Lin Yi slowly closed his eyes and began to digest the enlightenment after the breakthrough. As a result of this enlightenment, he had a clear understanding of the Wind Transformation Technique. In fact, wind is a product of air movement, not the same as air.
In fact, with the inhalation and exhalation of the body’s pores, the elements that make up the wind have already entered his body, it’s just that they haven’t been able to turn into wind yet.
At this moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of the Wind Transformation Technique. It’s not about transforming into the wind when reaching the limit of cultivation, but transforming the air elements absorbed into the body into wind, and then using the wind to refine the flesh.
With the activation of the [Art of Flowing Clouds and Wind], he began to cultivate, successfully transforming the absorbed air elements into the first stream of wind, which, together with the vital energies in his body, circulate according to the Wind Transformation Technique’s path, and gradually merge with his body’s flesh and blood.
Lin Yi sat on the top of the mountain, feeling the wind blowing continuously. He absorbed the air elements brought by the wind and refined them into wind in his body. He then used a specific path to refine his body.
During the cultivation process, a painful sensation, like being cut by a knife, also emerged from his body.
He couldn’t help but think: refining the body with wind, wouldn’t he get rheumatism in the end if he kept refining to the extreme?
Enduring the pain in his body, Lin Yi continued to cultivate. He was still only a beginner, only able to manipulate the wind. He believed that when he attained a higher level with his Wind Transformation Technique, he could truly draw the wind into his body. At that point, his cultivation speed would increase significantly.
So, after spending an hour deeply engrossed in cultivation, a dark shadow suddenly attacked him without any warning. It moved so rapidly that the warning charm he had set up only rang out like a wind chime when the shadow was right before him.
The shadow let out a piercing shriek, causing Yuan Yuan to cover her head and faint.
Since Lin Yi was engrossed in his cultivation, his guard was down. He only just started reacting once he felt a vertigo induced by the shadow’s harsh shriek.
Despite that, the shadow’s attack, as swift as a bolt of lightning, was blocked by a holy shield.
The shadow instantly morphed into a hideous evil spirit. It opened its wide bloody mouth, constantly trying to break in. However, as it charged, this holy shield seemed to melt its body, causing it to let out waves of mournful screams.
Lin Yi knew this was due the activation of his title “Little Compassion Little
Mercy”, which automatically activated the Mercy Shield. However, he only had 130 virtue points left, which could only shield him for thirteen seconds at most.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yi immediately drew out several Exorcism Charm Scrolls of Great Perfection level. Protected by the Mercy Shield, he shot these talismans towards the evil spirit.
Soon after, he activated his Wind Law while concurrently switching his title “Color is Void” to “The Path Lies Beneath Your Feet”.
With the cultivation of the Wind Law at the level of Great Perfection and the “The Path Lies Beneath Your Feet” title leveled up to the second tier, both speed and evasion were increased by 20%. Additionally, the chances of obtaining the sprint effect were raised from 5% to 10%.
Under the effects of the Great Perfection Wind Law and the speed increase, his pace became incredibly swift. He efficiently covered all escape routes of the evil spirit and threw out the Exorcism Charms forming a net as broad as the sun around it.
Having followed Li Yuan Qing to exorcise more than two hundred evil spirits, he knew that the strength of the spirits was closely related to color. The lowest-level ones are gray, and as the color deepens, the power of the evil spirits increases.
The black evil spirit before him had a formidable form. He had seen a few similar ones in the Spiritual Field Planting District. After exorcising them, he received more than ten virtue points. Their power was significantly stronger than the lower-level evil spirits.
These Exorcism Charms were not only of Great Perfection level potency, but they also had a 20% potency increase due to the third level of the [Talisman Craftmanship Novice] title. As it was filled with Pure Yang Qi, the black spirit let out even more mournful screams.
As the evil spirit moved away, Lin Yi noticed that the Mercy Shield surrounding him had disappeared in an instant. The consumption of his virtue points had stopped. The shield had only lasted for 3 seconds, and he now only had about 10 seconds of shield activation time left.
It was impossible for such a strong evil spirit to appear in these wild mountains, especially during daytime and without anyone’s command.
The most important thing was that he wore the title “Little Compassion Little Mercy”, which gave him a sense of ghost perception. He wouldn’t have missed the presence of such a strong evil spirit.
Lin Yi swiftly pulled out another stack of Exorcism Charms from his Storage
Bag and kept them in his pocket for emergency use. He was sure that there was someone behind this evil spirit’s attack, likely a follower of the Xuan Yin Sect.
As he saw the spirit continuously melting away under the Pure Yang Qi, he quickly used a Rebirth Charm and chanted the Rebirth Mantra. Soon, under the effect of the Great Perfection Level Rebirth Charm, the evil spirit was exorcised completely. It bowed to him in a transparent spectral form and dissipated into nothingness.
After exorcising this evil spirit, astonishingly, he obtained eighteen virtue points. This showed its tremendous strength. If it wasn’t for the Mercy Shield, he, who was in a state of cultivation, could have been possessed by this evil spirit.
Even after the evil spirit was exorcised, Lin Yi did not let his guard down. Just then, a round of applause erupted from the side..
