After saying goodbye to Lin Shanshan, Ning Zhuo returned to the cave in Xiaozheng Peak. He first took out the futon, sat cross-legged, and practiced the daily routine of the exercises. He is now in the early stage of foundation building, practicing three exercises at the same time, which requires meditation, breathing, and refining blood and qi. Therefore, the time spent on accumulating exercises every day is almost three times that of others. He has to do special training every day to improve his martial arts. There are also various external exchanges, such as inspections in Yaotian Mountain, negotiations with Wanyaomen, and major cooperation. For example, this time he took the initiative to challenge Chang Yan, a demon cultivator who ranked higher. His time is very tight, and he is simply counting the minutes and seconds, and he is very careful. Even so, he still has a lot of things that he can't complete. For example, in terms of the mechanism, the time he can squeeze out to practice the control technique every day is only a short cup of tea. And the matter of designing the mechanical body for Meng Yehu has been delayed again and again, and he hasn't even started it. Ning Zhuo wished he could break himself in half to use.
Time is too scarce! "Now, I have to add another enlightenment map." Ning Zhuo finished his practice and took out three maps. "I hope I can gain something." Ning Zhuo first checked them out. The three maps were the old tree with twisted roots, the mountain night listening to the waves, and the tree bottom peeping at the sky. He had learned the "answers" to these three maps from Lin Shanshan - which wood magic spells they corresponded to. He chose the first map, which was relatively simple, and tried to comprehend it. Ning Zhuo stared at the map carefully, his expression focused. Soon, his mind was completely immersed in this map, no longer disturbed by the movement of the outside world. He watched every detail of the root system, his eyes wandering along the twists and turns of the root system. His thoughts also unfolded with the shape of the root system, carefully observing the intersection of each root system and the entanglement of each vine. Gradually, he pursued a natural rhythm. Ning Zhuo's breathing became steady and deep, and his body leaned forward slightly, as if he was about to immerse himself in the world of the painting. His heart became calmer and calmer, and he felt the deep meaning contained in the picture. However, when his body and mind were gradually resonating with it, a strong feeling of hunger suddenly came over him, breaking his state of comprehension. He reacted and opened his eyes. It turned out that he had closed his eyes unconsciously. Even if his eyes were not fixed on the picture, his consciousness was always deeply penetrating the picture of enlightenment. Ning Zhuo's stomach made a gurgling sound, and a strong sense of fatigue and weakness followed. He found that "a short moment" was completely his illusion, and he had maintained this state for three hours. Although he had taken the Bigu Pill, his body still couldn't stand the consumption.
At the same time, in the sea of soul in the upper dantian, the divine thoughts were exhausted, and the spirit was also weak to the bottom. The state of enlightenment is a huge consumption of brain power. The consumption of spirit and divine thoughts is even more terrifying. "Is this the state of comprehending the Enlightenment Diagram?" Ning Zhuo was tired and happy. This was the first time he entered this state, and he felt very novel. In addition, he was also quite surprised and satisfied. After all, before, he was still worried that he could not comprehend the Enlightenment Diagram of the Wood Element. Now, it seems that he is not very talented in ice, but he has a good understanding ability in the Wood Element. Ning Zhuo shared this experience with Sun Lingtong. Sun Lingtong said: "It is rare to be able to enter the state of enlightenment for the first time. Xiaozhuo, if you continue to develop in the Wood Element, you will have a bright future." Ning Zhuo said: "Boss, you also comprehend it. After all, these diagrams are borrowed, and they must be returned after the time limit." Sun Lingtong was also interested and agreed: "Come in the Wanli Youlong first, I will guard it for you first." Ning Zhuo entered the mechanical Youlong. He first ate and drank some spiritual food, and then took a short rest to adjust his state again. Then, he came to the storage cabin and took out a willow tree. This willow tree was dug out, and its roots locked a large piece of soil, placed vertically on the floor. Ning Zhuo took out the futon and sat down directly under the tree. The willow tree is mysterious and introverted, full of vitality. The willow branches are tender yellow, and the willow leaves are evergreen, just like a layer of thin jade, visible through light, almost transparent. It is Lingyin Willow! Ning Zhuo was under the tree, and the fragrance of the willow tree was like sandalwood and orchid, refreshing, remote and quiet. Before Ning Zhuo adjusted his state, he felt refreshed, his worries were gone, his mind was moving, and his wisdom was surging. "What a good tree." Ning Zhuo took out the old tree root picture with expectation and began to comprehend. In an instant, he seemed to have entered the world in the picture. He stood on the vines and roots with bare feet, feeling the rough, winding, introverted power and vitality of the roots. The Lingyin Willow sensed that Ning Zhuo was meditating, and the leaves fell naturally without wind, floating around Ning Zhuo, slowly turning into green spots of light, and then quickly dissipated. Ning Zhuo was "placed" in the Wufa Diagram, and suddenly his body underwent a miraculous transformation, gradually rising and climbing, and turned into a tree. A large number of vines grew out of his body, slowly and quickly spreading around. These tree roots, vines, and the original roots and vines were entangled with each other, soft and hard, and there was infinite power hidden in the entanglement. At this moment, Ning Zhuo's upper Dantian Sea of Divine Light flashed frequently. He directed these vines, extending and retracting them continuously, as if they were his own arms. The big tree in front of him was his best teacher. He imitated it, learned from it, and integrated himself with nature. Then, the power burst out in the entanglement, with both the flexibility of vines and the tenacity of roots.
He completely understood! Wood magic - root vine entanglement. Ning Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling. Looking at the old tree root diagram in front of him, it was clear at a glance, no longer mysterious. "Only a little over an hour has passed?" Ning Zhuo calculated the time, which was pitifully short. And what he understood was more than dozens of times what he had tried before? "And the state is also good, not falling to the bottom, at least I am not hungry, and my mind is still 30%." Ning Zhuo touched his belly, then looked up at the Lingyin Willow beside him. "Good tree, good tree!" He exclaimed sincerely. At the same time, he also keenly observed that a willow branch on the Lingyin willow was already bare, with all the leaves falling off, and the willow branch became dry and yellow, as if it had lost moisture. After a short rest, Ning Zhuo took out the second picture of listening to the waves in the mountains at night. There was an ancient wooden house on the cliff. The window of the wooden house facing the cliff was open, and a monk leaned against the window, seemingly practicing breathing, closing his eyes and meditating, and listening attentively. It was late at night, and the mountains outside the window were dark, deep, and vast. Only a little light in the room reflected a warm corner. The mountain wind was strong, blowing the lights flickering, and the monk's clothes fluttered. Although the light could not reach too far, near the cabin, the shadow of the pine tree could be vaguely seen swaying in the wind, and the outline of the branches was looming. And outside, occupying 80% of the entire picture, it was all dark. However, the deep darkness is not monotonous. If you look closely, you can see the huge arcs in the darkness, like waves, connecting the sky and the earth, and crisscrossing the east and the west. Listening to the waves in the mountains at night! What he heard was not the waves, but the waves of pine trees under the mountain wind. Under the willows in Lingyin, Ning Zhuo focused his mind and once again immersed himself in the painting. He turned into a guest, leaning against the wooden window, his eyes slightly closed, and his ears were filled with the sound of waves. The sound of the waves was sometimes as turbulent as a tide, and sometimes as gentle as drizzle. What a surging vitality, what a great natural force! About an hour later, Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes, and there was still a trace of shock in his eyes. He understood the picture of listening to the waves in the mountains at night. He continued to work hard and took out the third picture. Peeping at the sky under the tree! The picture was full of dense branches and leaves, which piled up layer by layer to form an airtight green dome, almost covering the entire clear sky.
Lying on the grass and looking up, one could only barely see a little bit of blue sky through the gaps between the leaves. The blue sky was clear, but only a few dots could be seen between the leaves. Here, the trees, branches, and leaves were the whole world, isolated from the outside world and self-contained. Ning Zhuo was in the picture, feeling the distance of the outside world and feeling isolated from the world. The little bit of blue sky contrasted the claustrophobia of the forest world. However, he was not a prisoner, but the master of this forest, the king, the lord, and the god! About two hours later, Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes and showed a tired look again. The picture of peeping at the sky from the bottom of the tree was the most difficult and profound one among the three pictures, and he had already understood it! Ning Zhuo mastered three new wood magics. Because he understood the profound meaning of the magic directly through the magic map, he saved a lot of time and energy to improve the magic. "If I face Hanzhou again with these three magics, I will definitely keep him away!" Ning Zhuo's fighting power suddenly increased, and his confidence also increased. He looked forward to the battle with Chang Yan even more. "Boss, boss, come on, it's your turn." "Lingyin Liu is really useful. I have understood three magics in succession, which is much easier than understanding them alone." Ning Zhuo called Sun Lingtong to share this joy with him. Sun Lingtong laughed: "Okay, I'll try it too!" Ning Zhuo left the mechanical dragon and continued to practice. In the next few days, he maintained the special martial arts training with Lin Shanshan. He made rapid progress and was already balanced in offense and defense, with attack accounting for nearly 50% of his actions. While Lin Shanshan admired Ning Zhuo's understanding, she also asked him about his understanding of the Enlightenment Diagram. Ning Zhuo said that he had made great progress in understanding the first picture of the old tree with twisted roots, but he had not yet studied the other two pictures in detail. Lin Shanshan was delighted when she heard this: "You have already been able to understand it in just one day. Master Ning Zhuo, I was right about you."
