Chapter 92 Supernatural Powers
Through the vision transmitted back by the clone,
Bai Sheng stared at the side door of the Public Security Bureau for a long time.
I'm not going out at all!
Isn't this excessive overtime?
Bai Sheng couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Normally, the police station can't possibly work overtime every day, right?
I glanced at the parking lot again.
Team Leader Chen's old Santana is still parked in the same spot.
Even a few sycamore leaves fell on the roof of the car.
It hasn't been moved since noon three days ago. Did someone else move it?
The police station was brightly lit.
He had previously been in contact with Captain Chen.
Overtime is the norm for the security team.
Team Leader Chen is the kind of person who does everything himself and never comes out until late at night.
But they've been working too much overtime lately... Could there be some major case going on?
He had his clone continue to stake out the noodle shop across the street.
He then temporarily shifted his attention away from Captain Chen.
We have to wait, but we can't just wait idly.
Bai Sheng got up, changed his coat, and went downstairs.
They plundered into the wasteland on the outskirts of the city.
……
Outskirts,
Moonlight filtered through the sparse leaves.
Under the old locust tree,
The Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged when he heard footsteps and saw the person approaching. He quickly stood up and bowed.
"Senior, what brings you here?"
"Get out of here."
Bai Sheng didn't give the old Taoist a friendly look.
Instead of cultivating properly, all he thinks about is growing a beard and flattering others!
Bai Sheng has always disliked this kind of hierarchical relationship.
Being called "senior" by such an old man was really awkward.
Right now,
Jiang Xuelan's soul was suspended several feet off the ground.
The dark red aura was much more stable than when it was first released.
She had been cultivating in the wasteland with the True Immortal for some time.
However, a few rare ingredients are still needed to reshape the physical body.
We can't take action for the time being.
Upon seeing Bai Sheng approach, she bowed slightly as a gesture of respect.
"Jiang Xuelan,"
Bai Sheng asked,
"Did you ever fight against someone of the same rank during the pre-Qin period? At the very least, did you ever witness how others fought?"
"Of course there were, the people of the pre-Qin period were known for their fierce and warlike nature."
Martial arts are prevalent, everyone practices martial arts and loves to fight, even cultivators are no exception.
The essence of cultivation lies in the clarity of one's thoughts.
If you dislike someone, vent your frustrations; only then can you subdue your inner demons and pave the way for further progress on the path to enlightenment.
"Very well, let me ask you something. In your opinion, what is the most commonly used method in Foundation Establishment cultivators' duels?"
During this period of time, he never thought about any method of protection, since there was nothing that could threaten him.
Everyone is an ordinary person, and I am just a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
It can completely overpower all techniques and crush everything with sheer force!
I fear that something might happen if the spiritual energy were to revive in the future.
Therefore, methods for protecting the Way should also be put on the agenda.
"Since you have asked, I will tell you the truth."
When Foundation Establishment cultivators fight, their spells and combat skills are often evenly matched, making it difficult for them to determine the outcome of the battle!
As the saying goes, magic has its traces, and combat techniques have their counters; both sides in a magical duel may suffer some injuries.
However, it is completely impossible to achieve a decisive victory with a single blow.
Only supernatural powers,
That supernatural power is a natal technique that a cultivator condenses after refining the essence of heaven and earth into their own body.
When two Foundation Establishment cultivators fight, the one with more, stronger, and more profound supernatural abilities will win.
I once attempted to break through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and it took me nearly ten years to condense my first divine power, named [Burning River].
"Does Your Highness know how the [Burning River] was forged?"
"How was it made?" Bai Sheng asked curiously.
"I am a Fire and Wood Body, that is, a dual Fire and Wood Spiritual Root, and have an extremely high affinity for the essence of Earth Fire."
Back then, my master led me deep into the fire veins of the southern border, where we waited by the lava river for several years until a wisp of extremely pure earth fire essence overflowed onto the surface.
Using my own life essence as a guide, I refined the essence of that earth fire into my dantian, and spent several years repeatedly refining it before finally condensing it into this Burning River Technique.
When it is used, the land within a radius of several dozen feet will turn into lava. Cultivators of the same level will be injured upon contact, while those of lower level will die upon contact.
"With this supernatural power, I have earned a certain reputation among those of the same rank!"
"Have you mastered a second supernatural power? And what is that second supernatural power?" Bai Sheng asked.
"【Frost Clot】"
Jiang Xuelan's soul trembled slightly, as if recalling some unpleasant experience.
"That was something I refined when I was in the early stages of Foundation Establishment."
In order to find a suitable source of Yin energy, I searched alone for five years in the glacial crevasses of the far north.
He crawled in and out of the ice crevices every day, losing several fingers in the process, which were later regenerated using his true energy.
Finally, deep within an ancient, icy abyss, they found a wisp of profound Yin energy!
"It took nearly three more years to refine the Profound Yin Qi. My [Frost Binding] technique can freeze the opponent's true essence circulation."
"A cultivator whose cultivation level is lower than mine will have their meridians frozen into ice shards within seconds if struck by Frost!"
Bai Sheng was silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"In other words, a cultivator's supernatural abilities largely depend on how much earth energy he has refined."
Does that mean a cultivator's combat strength depends on how many supernatural abilities they have mastered?
"It's not just the earth's energy, but also your natal magic weapon!" Jiang Xuelan reminded her.
"My lord, if I may be so bold as to speak the truth, I have been observing you during this time."
The cultivation technique you practice is indeed extremely exquisite, but you have not yet refined any earth energy, nor do you have a natal magic weapon!
The young master is now like a strong man with immense strength, but no matter how strong he is, he can only use his fists to hit people.
True cultivators need weapons to protect them in order to roam the world freely!
The young master can kill a Qi Refining cultivator with a single punch, but when he encounters a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the same level...
The opponent only needs one of the most basic supernatural abilities, and the young master won't even have a chance to get close.
"But young master, there's no need to worry. It seems there are no Foundation Establishment cultivators in this world, not even Qi Refining cultivators."
Bai Sheng understood immediately; the other party kept mentioning their natal magic weapon.
It's simply because the other party possesses some techniques for forging weapons.
Once he reveals any need for Jiang Xuelan, she will take the opportunity to propose some conditions.
Bai Sheng naturally wouldn't agree to her request, so he deliberately avoided mentioning it.
"You're right! Now that we've laid it all out, let's get to the bottom of it: how do we find the Earth's Qi?"
"The earth's energy is hidden deep underground, and can only be perceived by cultivators when it overflows to the surface."
Jiang Xuelan's soul moved forward slightly, "The places where it overflows usually have special landform features!"
For example, the earth's fire veins.
It will cause the surrounding vegetation to grow abnormally lush, or emit blue smoke at specific times.
The saying "auspicious smoke rising from ancestral graves" refers to this.
The Qi of Cangmu can cause withered ancient trees to sprout again.
These characteristics are often unnoticed by ordinary people, but cultivators can detect them with their divine sense!
"Young Master's divine sense has reached the Foundation Establishment stage; as long as one gets within a hundred feet of the overflow point, he will definitely be able to sense it."
