Inside the wooden house.

 

Chen Mobai looked at the black water on the table that he had used all his belongings to buy, feeling a thousand emotions.

 

If he wasn't in a hurry to use it, he would never spend so many spirit stones.

 

He hoped that the effect would satisfy him.

 

He opened the bottle, and a cool mist surged up. Looking inside, although it was called "black water", it was actually very clear and had a faint medicinal fragrance. The Shenmu Sect was a major sect in the Eastern Wasteland, and the things they sold were guaranteed to be of good quality.

 

Chen Mobai used the "Water Control Technique", and the black water in the bottle turned into a thin line, like a necklace falling into his palm.

 

After talking with Lu Shu, he also understood the origin of this black water technique. It was one of the seven Qi Refining techniques of the Five Elements Sect's water veins, and it could be cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage. Although it was not the most powerful technique of the water veins, it was still one of the well-known water-based techniques in the Eastern Wasteland.

 

The core of this technique was in the refinement of the "black water". The subsequent advancement of spells and even the refining of one's own magic treasure all relied on the continuous advancement of this "black water".

 

Chen Mobai had no intention of switching to this technique, but he found the construction of its spell system very interesting.

 

In the Tianhe Realm, due to the collapse of rituals and music and the chaos of order, cultivators often fought each other. Therefore, the focus of the techniques here was on the breakthrough of realms and the construction of complementary spells and magic tools that could enhance combat power.

 

This black water technique was a typical technique in the Tianhe Realm. "Water Control Technique" was the foundation, followed by the core "black water". After the black water was refined, it could be used for defense with the "Water Yuan Shield", then for offense with the "Cold Ice Technique", and finally advanced to the third-level spell, the "Ren Water Thunder Technique".

 

And all spells were based on the black water.

 

Chen Mobai began to use the "Water Yuan Shield". The black water in the palm of his hand dispersed and floated up to the middle of the room, forming a thin water barrier like a cicada's wings, according to his will.

 

Compared to the basic spell of the Immortal Gate, the Spiritual Energy Shield, the Water Yuan Shield was more flexible.

 

The Spiritual Energy Shield released all of one's spiritual energy at once, forming a shield that covered the whole body without any blind spots. However, the disadvantage of this spell was obvious. After using it, all of one's spiritual energy would be exhausted, which was very wasteful.

 

This was a defensive spell that all members of the Immortal Gate were required to cultivate, in order to save their lives in case of accidents.

 

The advantages and disadvantages of the Spiritual Energy Shield were very obvious.

 

The Water Yuan Shield was different. It was controlled by the black water in the bottle. As long as one's thoughts flowed and the opponent's attack route was accurately predicted, all defensive power could be placed on the path of the incoming attack in advance.

 

If the "Spiritual Energy Shield" was a foolproof full-body defense, then the "Water Yuan Shield" was a predictive advance defense, and the spiritual energy consumption of the latter was only one percent of the former.

 

In other words, in order to use the "Water Yuan Shield" well, Chen Mobai still needed to improve his own combat level.

 

He took out the needle case and prepared to test the defensive power of the Water Yuan Shield.

 

Fortunately, he had cultivated his divine sense, so he could easily do two things at once.

 

With a "chirp" sound, the yellow flying needle, repelled by the magnetic force of the needle case, shot out like a bullet and turned into a stream of light, piercing into the Water Yuan Shield in front of Chen Mobai, which was placed in front of the wooden house pillar.

 

The faint, translucent water barrier, under the sharp attack of the flying needle, seemed to be filled with elastic gel, taking on the sharp shape of the needle. But under the continuous infusion of his spiritual energy, it never broke, and instead trapped the flying needle in the water barrier.

 

DING!

 

After the magnetic force on the flying needle was exhausted, it lost all its force and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

 

Chen Mobai looked at the undamaged water barrier, which had only deformed into the shape of a needle, and nodded in satisfaction.

 

Now he had the needle case for offense and the Water Yuan Shield for defense. It should be relatively safe for him to move around in the outskirts of the Dream Swamp.

 

With this thought in mind, he tested the defensive limit of the Water Yuan Shield and the offensive limit of the needle case.

 

After reaching the late stage of Qi Refining, this magic tool was already easy for him to control.

 

Half an hour later, Chen Mobai had a clear understanding of the power of the needle case and the Water Yuan Shield, and he put both items away.

 

The twelve flying needles scattered throughout the wooden house returned to the needle case under the magnetic attraction, making crisp sounds. The black water, controlled by the Water Control Technique, fell into the jade bottle like a string of water droplets.

 

According to Liu Kengpei's cultivation notes, there were limitations to the use of this black water. After using the Water Yuan Shield hundreds of times, the medicinal and spiritual energy contained in it would be excessively consumed and needed to be re-extracted and blended, otherwise it would be unreliable.

 

After taking a rest and restoring the consumed spiritual energy in his body, Chen Mobai began to practice the "Cold Ice Technique".

 

This spell also required black water. Using the Water Control Technique, the black water could be transformed into any shape he needed, and then he could condense his spiritual energy into a breath of cold ice, freezing the black water or turning it into an ice wall for defense, or turning it into an ice knife for slashing, or even condensing it into ice arrows for shooting. It was very versatile.

 

However, this spell consumed more black water than the Water Yuan Shield. After freezing and melting repeatedly twenty times, the black water needed to be re-blended.

 

Chen Mobai had just bought this bottle of black water and felt a bit reluctant to use it for practicing the Cold Ice Technique, but in order to improve his combat level, he had to master this spell. If necessary, he could work a bit harder and later sell some spirit talismans over here.

 

According to Liu Kengpei's cultivation notes, he raised the spiritual energy in his dantian and exhaled a breath of qi from the position of the Twelvefold Tower. With a "huh" sound, a stream of qi sprayed out of his mouth and fell onto the black water that had been shaped into a stick by the Water Control Technique in front of him.

 

Then, there was no response!

 

Failed.

 

With a sigh, Chen Mobai felt that he really had no talent for spells. He had been practicing this breath of cold ice since breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, but it had never been effective.

 

Not to mention freezing the water into ice, he hadn't even seen a trace of frost.However, he was also complaining that the records of spells in the Tianhe realm were not detailed enough. If they were like the teachers at the Di Yuan Star School, who not only drew diagrams when explaining spells, but also paired them with diagrams of the human body's meridians and spiritual energy circulation, and even made more detailed video explanations, would he fail to practice this Ice Spell?

 

At this moment, the alarm on his phone rang.

 

It was time for Chen Mobai to go home.

 

He turned off the alarm, and in the wooden house on the Green Light Island in Dream Swamp, he clicked on "Return to City".

 

"I need to buy more talismans. I have some money now, but it's a pity that I didn't get the 'Xuanyang Purple Fire Talisman' last time. The Pure Yang Academy is too stingy, they only released a hundred."

 

Chen Mobai, who had returned to his room, was muttering to himself while starting to wash and change clothes.

 

Today was the farewell dinner with his classmates.
