Chapter 600: Three Years of Hard Training
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Lin Tianming and his wife each calmed down and then discussed the next specific plan.
Before that, they planned to return to good condition and continue to practice in Icewind Valley, trying to find opportunities.
Now, Liu Nantian discovered the spiritual art of 'Golden Mountain Seal' in Liu Nantian's storage bag, which once again made Lin Tianming salivate.
Not only that, the Tianxin grass they were looking for was found in Yan Mingshan's storage bag, as well as a map that was suspected to be the source of Tianxin grass.
Faced with such changes, Lin Tianming and his wife naturally had to change their original plans.
So, the two started chatting, each exchanging their own opinions.
Soon, Lin Tianming and his wife each talked about their plans, and after repeated discussions, they reached a consensus.
According to the new plan, Lin Tianming and his wife decided to continue practicing in retreat here.
During this retreat, Lin Tianming planned to try to practice the spiritual art of "Golden Mountain Seal". It was best to master it completely in the shortest possible time, and to have an additional means of attack in the future.
Although Lin Tianming currently has no shortage of attack methods, he has successfully practiced several spiritual arts, among which the 'Great Sun Sword Qi Technique' is undoubtedly his trump card.
In addition, there was also the 'Golden Dragon Sword Strike' obtained from the Golden Sword Sect, and later the 'Five Elements Spiritual Scripture Technique' was obtained from Yang Chengfeng.
In addition, a few years ago, after killing He Zhengsong, he obtained the secret escape technique of "Hundred Mile Escape".
Now that Liu Nantian has been killed, another spiritual technique has been added. There are already three spiritual techniques and a secret escape technique.
If you include the Blue Heart True Flame, there are as many as four kinds of spiritual and secret attacks.
Disregarding the Huangpin spiritual art of "Golden Dragon Sword Strike", the power of the other three attack methods all feel stronger than the magical power of the Tiangang Nine Swords.
However, although there are so many attack methods, it is really difficult to use them all in a big battle.
After all, the mana of a Golden Core monk is very limited, and a powerful trump card like spiritual magic consumes an extremely large amount of mana.
Even when some spiritual arts are activated, the requirements for mana and spiritual consciousness are not high, just like the mysterious spiritual art of 'Great Sun Sword Qi Technique', which does not consume much mana when activated. .
But the activation of most spiritual arts usually requires extremely large mana support.
As for this kind of spiritual technique, as long as the magic power is deep enough, it is possible to perform it two or three times in a row.
Looking at the spiritual art of "Great Sun Sword Qi Technique", once it is activated, the original sword qi needs to be re-condensed, and it must be kept in the qi sea dantian all year round to warm it up.
Under such circumstances, at least within ten years, the newly condensed sword energy will not be able to provide Lin Tianming with effective lethality.
And this is the disadvantage of powerful spiritual techniques.
But if there are disadvantages, there will be advantages.
Let’s just say that the power of the Great Sun Sword Qi Technique is truly terrifying, and there is almost no upper limit on how long the sword Qi can be condensed.
If Lin Tianming cultivates his sword energy for a hundred years, with his current cultivation strength, he might be able to injure a strong man in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Even if the Yuanying monk is careless, it is possible to kill him directly with one blow. This is not impossible.
From this point of view, the help brought by the Great Sun Sword Qi Technique Heilin Tianming is far beyond what ordinary spiritual arts can compare with.
Lin Tianming has always believed in this, and has always been cautious about using this method to keep the bottom of the market.
As for the other newly acquired spiritual arts, Lin Tianming did not dare to use them easily.
Because among these spiritual arts, except for the "Golden Dragon Sword Strike", which has an honest origin, the origins of several other spiritual arts are very special.
Although Yang Chengfeng and Liu Nantian were both casual cultivators and had done many dirty things, including robbing families and robberies, they had developed a lot of grudges.
But now that after killing several of them, Lin Tianming obtained the spiritual skills and successfully practiced them all, but he did not dare to use them easily.
After all, who knows where those spiritual arts come from, and whether they involve those Nascent Soul-level forces in Qingzhou.
If he really had anything to do with those forces, wouldn't Lin Tianming be implicated because of spiritual magic?
If this is the case, then if Lin Tianming is discovered using spiritual skills, he will have to take the blame for those gangsters who do all kinds of evil.
In this way, Lin Tianming would only use the 'Five Elements Spiritual Scripture Technique' and the spiritual technique used by Liu Nantian only when he had to, or when he was extremely confident.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Tianming's attack methods mainly focus on the Tiangang Nine Swords and the Earthly Sword Formation.
If you encounter a powerful opponent, you can use the two powerful methods of Blue Heart True Flame and Heavenly Sword Lotus.
With Lin Tianming's current strength, and with such conventional methods, most opponents in the golden elixir stage can handle it.
If he encounters a desperate situation, he also has 'Golden Dragon Sword Strike' and 'Five Elements Spiritual Scripture Technique' as trump cards.
In addition, the ‘Great Sun Sword Qi Technique’ is Lin Tianming’s most relied upon life-saving method from beginning to end.
This Xuanpin spiritual art has helped Lin Tianming survive crises many times over the years, which can be said to have made great contributions.
Nowadays, the spiritual technique of 'Golden Mountain Seal' obtained by killing Liu Nantian is also very powerful. Although it cannot be used casually, it can also enrich Lin Tianming's attack methods.
However, it is foreseeable that the 'Golden Mountain Seal' and 'Golden Dragon Sword Strike', which are spiritual arts that rely on mana, are unlikely to be used multiple times in a battle.
Even if Lin Tianming has deep magic power and powerful spiritual consciousness, he can only use it two or three times in a battle.
From this point of view, although spiritual skills are very important and play a great role, one's own cultivation strength is the most critical.
Otherwise, it is impossible to maintain combat effectiveness for a long time by relying solely on spiritual skills to fight against monks of the same level.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming is still looking forward to his next plan to practice the 'Golden Mountain Seal'.
So, Lin Tianming and his wife chatted for a few words, and then they each started to get up and enter the practice room, and immediately started practicing in seclusion.
At this time, Lin Tianming sat cross-legged on the futon and immediately began to exercise and adjust his breath.
Soon, Lin Tianming's state reached its peak, and he quickly opened his closed eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Tianming took out the spiritual art jade slip of the 'Golden Mountain Seal' from the Qiankun Jade, and then used his spiritual consciousness to check it.
Over several days, Lin Tianming memorized the contents of the jade slip.
After that, Lin Tianming began to pinch with one hand, trying to condense the seal according to the secret method recorded in the jade slip.
This process requires thousands of attempts to succeed.
In addition to this, there are also methods of stimulating energy that require many attempts. Only after countless attempts and corrections can one formally master this spiritual art.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming began to understand in an orderly manner.
And every half day, he would try to condense the seal.
As expected, the first condensation ended in failure.
In this regard, Lin Tianming was not discouraged, but tried again and again.
The second time... ended in failure!
The third time... ended in failure! ……
The 1,200th time...still ended in failure.
Time passed slowly, and a year and a half passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Lin Tianming has been concentrating on the seals unremittingly, almost never stopping for even half a day.
To this day, Lin Tianming was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, making a complicated gesture with his hands and mumbling words.
At this time, after his action was completed, a small phantom slowly appeared above his head.
Looking at it, this shadow is transparent, seems a little thin, and is swaying, as if it will collapse at any time.
In fact, this shadow did exist for a few breaths, and then dissipated directly in the air.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tianming was not disappointed, but became excited about it.
After all, he has been in retreat for a year and a half, during which time he has been constantly comprehending and condensing the seals.
Before this, he has tried more than a thousand times, but has never succeeded, and even the most basic shadow has never appeared.
Although the shadow like this is very thin and unstable, it only lasts for a few breaths and then dissipates.
But this scene, compared with the more than a thousand failures before, is actually a big improvement.
If he continues like this, he will try a few more times, and based on the skills and judgment he has mastered before, he will definitely be able to successfully condense a complete seal.
At that time, the spiritual power of the 'Golden Mountain Seal' can be regarded as entering the gate, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has reached the realm of Xiaocheng.
As for the final hair-raising technique, it’s not difficult to master.
He knew very well that as long as he practiced repeatedly, he would be able to completely master this spiritual technique and develop a certain degree of combat effectiveness.
By then, his attack methods will be more diverse and he will be able to slightly improve his strength.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming felt a little excited, and even the fatigue accumulated over time was forgotten.
So, Lin Tianming regrouped and began to try to condense the seal again.
Before I knew it, another half a year had passed.
In the practice room today, Lin Tianming was continuing to understand spiritual techniques and tried several times.
But this time, after a series of actions by Lin Tianming, a seal slowly condensed on top of his head, hanging motionless in the sky.
At this time, I felt the small golden seal above my head. Its appearance and characteristics were exactly the same as the small seal Liu Nantian had used.
Not only that, but more importantly, this small seal is extremely solid and majestic, just like the real thing.
And at the moment it appeared, the vitality in the entire practice room began to stir, and finally slowly gathered towards the golden seal.
This scene is very similar to when Liu Nantian performed this technique.
When Lin Tianming felt this aura and the pressure revealed by the small golden seal, he suddenly looked overjoyed.
After two years of continuous practice, I have finally succeeded in cultivating the spiritual art of 'Golden Mountain Seal'.
As for the small seal above the head, this is the basic form of the 'Golden Mountain Seal'.
In this way, Lin Tianming has basically mastered this spiritual technique, which can be regarded as achieving his goal.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming smiled excitedly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, Lin Tianming slowly stopped his power, and the small seal above his head also disappeared.
After calming down, Lin Tianming adjusted his condition and planned to review it again.
When all the techniques of this spiritual art become more proficient, he can go out and actually try the specific power of this spiritual art.
In addition, it takes many practice attempts to fully unleash the attack power of the spiritual art of 'Golden Mountain Seal'.
Only by completely mastering it and reaching the level of Xiaocheng can it provide certain help for his fighting skills.
Otherwise, just mastering spiritual arts, but unable to exert his due fighting power, would be of no use to him.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming adjusted his mentality and continued practicing.
One day half a year later, Lin Tianming appeared in the hall of the temporary cave.
In the past six months, Lin Tianming spent the first two months reviewing the spiritual techniques of the 'Golden Mountain Seal' many times, including condensing the best small seal phantom.
In the following more than three months, Lin Tianming began actual combat training in a valley not far outside the cave.
Under his sweaty training, he spent more than three months forgetting to sleep and eat. During this period, he went through dozens of exercises to use the 'Golden Mountain Seal'.
As the saying goes, hard work pays off!
After unremitting efforts, Lin Tianming successfully upgraded the spiritual art of 'Jinshan Dharma Seal' to a minor level.
It has to be said that the power of the spiritual art of 'Golden Mountain Seal' is really very strong. After Lin Tianming tried it, the power was earth-shattering and destructive, and the attack speed was very fast. Whether it was a precise attack or a large-area attack, this spiritual art All show extremely strong lethality and destructive power.
And this result indeed confirmed his previous guess.
In this way, with the introduction of this spiritual art, Lin Tianming once again has an additional means of attack.
Relying on the three years of practicing spiritual arts, Lin Tianming's cultivation level is also slowly improving.
Although he is still far away from the late stage of Jindan, he can deeply feel the slow progress of his cultivation.
This kind of progress is not achieved by relying on pills or the assistance of some heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Strictly speaking, his progress in the past three years is accumulated progress.
Although the improved cultivation strength is very limited, it gives him the feeling that the improvement in the past few years is more than the progress in the previous ten years.
Now, after a lot of fighting and three years of uninterrupted spiritual practice, I have never used any external help during this period.
Under such circumstances, his foundation of monasticism was extremely solid.
Moreover, it seems that because of Shen Xinjingqi's cultivation, his Taoist heart has become purer, as if it has been sublimated invisibly.
This feeling is strange, but it is real.
In this way, Lin Tianming is extremely satisfied with the experience and gains of the past three years.
With the success of practicing the spiritual art of 'Jinshan Dharma Seal', Lin Tianming did not stay in the training ground anymore, but returned to the temporary cave.
