Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 36 The improvement of strength

As a de facto teacher, Zhou Qing is fully aware of the cultivation situation of his fellow disciples.

He knew that Wei Kuang had cultivated seven inches of spiritual pressure, followed by Nie Yunxi's five inches, then Wei Xu and Yuan Hongying's four inches, and then Feng Yuan, Wang Xiaohu, Zhang Shan and his own three inches.

If Wei Kuang had not voluntarily withdrawn, according to the rules set by Elder Jin Mang, he really would not have been able to become the eldest senior brother.

The gap in talent is so difficult to bridge.

Even though he had taken various measures to improve his cultivation speed, as of yesterday, his cultivation speed was only about the same as that of a cultivator with six spiritual roots.

There is an unbridgeable gap between it and Wei Kuang's sixteen spiritual roots.

But that is now in the past.

After he got the spirit stone, his situation became different.

Others can use low-grade spirit stones to double their cultivation speed.

Two spirit stones can be boiled for twenty hours, which means it can be used for ten days.

He used mid-grade spirit stones, but was able to increase his cultivation speed to six times the previous speed.

In comparison, his current cultivation speed is almost three times that of other six-spiritual-root cultivators who cultivate with lower-grade spirit stones.

That is equivalent to a cultivator with eighteen spiritual roots.

He has surpassed Wei Kuang's talent in one fell swoop.

The only trouble is that this speed of cultivation cannot be sustained.

He held the spirit stone before his eyes.

His magnetic field sensing clearly indicated that only less than half of the spiritual energy inside was left.

If you practice using the stone boiling method, a medium-grade spirit stone can be used for twenty hours.

He used the magnetic field to forcibly plunder the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, and could drain all the spiritual energy in five hours at most. Moreover, four-fifths of this spiritual energy was used to strengthen his body, and only one-fifth became spiritual energy running in his meridians.

In this way, his two medium-grade spirit stones are only enough for him to use for three days. After three days, his cultivation speed will fall back to the level of six spirit roots.

It’s really frustrating to think about it.

As long as he has spirit stones, he can maintain the cultivation speed of eighteen spirit roots, but once the spirit stones are broken, he will drop back to six spirit roots.

For the first time, Zhou Qing felt the importance of resources to spiritual practice.

We need to find a way to get more spirit stones.

If the registered disciples of Qingyun Sect want to obtain spirit stones, in addition to the monthly spirit stones, there is only one way, and that is to complete tasks.

Unfortunately, there are no tasks for people to do now.

Zhou Qing shook his head in disappointment and thought, I can only endure it for the time being.

Fortunately, even without spirit stones, his cultivation speed will increase as his cultivation level improves.

Compared to obtaining spirit stones, the most important thing now is to figure out your current strength and practice the cards you already have.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you will be safe in a hundred battles.

Only by figuring out your own strengths can you know what measures to take when faced with emergencies.

Whether you should rush forward mindlessly, maneuver carefully, or turn around and run, there must be a method to follow.

His strength is roughly composed of three parts: supernatural powers, physical body, and spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy contained in it only had three inches of spiritual pressure, and he had not cultivated any offensive spells, so it was of no use for the time being.

What he mainly needs to test is physical strength and the intensity of the magnetic field.

He could feel that his physical strength had improved a lot, but to what extent, he needed to test it.

In addition, magnetic field ability should be his main source of force now.

However, the force brought by the magnetic field requires proficiency to use. For example, he cannot aim his supersonic iron balls skillfully, and he cannot control the strength of his method of shocking other people's minds.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing found that he still had a lot to do.

He did not feel pressured by the large number of things to do, because he knew that all these efforts would bring him rewards.

This is the most simple wish of mankind, but in many cases, it has become an unattainable ideal for people.

Therefore, Zhou Qing especially cherishes the situation where his efforts are rewarded, and decides that as long as he doesn't die, he will work hard until he dies.

After a night's rest, Zhou Qing got up at dawn the next day.

He came into the yard.

There were a lot of wood piled up in the yard, which Zhou Qing had applied for from the sect in the name of repairing the house.

In addition, there are some huge stone locks and millstones.

This was also because he had applied to the sect in advance in order to test his strength.

Immortal cultivators are not fragile mages. Their bodies will also be nourished by spiritual energy and gradually become stronger.

Among those who practice Taoism, there are many who like to train their bodies.

Therefore, Zhou Qing applied for the stone-locked millstone without worrying about arousing suspicion.

Zhou Qing walked to the front of the millstone, hugged it with both hands, and tried a little strength. He found that the 1,500-jin millstone was shaken by him. His confidence increased immediately, knowing that this millstone was not beyond his ability.

Then he slowly used all his strength, his muscles began to tighten, and the millstone was slowly lifted off the ground.

When he moved the millstone to the level of his lower abdomen, he tried to lift it above his head, but he felt he lacked the strength.

Zhou Qing tried to move the millstone toward his left shoulder and carried it on his shoulder. After he slowed down, he exhaled sharply, shouted softly, and suddenly raised the millstone above his head.

A 1,500-pound boulder pressed down on him, and he felt his bones creaking slightly, and his muscles were like taut bowstrings.

But he still stood up straight and was not crushed by the boulder.

After three or four breaths, Zhou Qing slowly put down the millstone. With the last dull sound of it landing, Zhou Qing straightened up with a satisfied smile on his face.

Just two months ago, he was a skinny young man who could hardly lift objects weighing 100 kilograms.

Now, two months later, he can already lift a 1,500-pound stone millstone.

The speed of progress would have been enough to make fitness enthusiasts dumbfounded in the previous life.

Even in the world of cultivating immortals, cultivators at the Qi Refining stage only gain a thousand pounds of strength with each advancement. However, he gained fourteen to five hundred pounds of strength in just two months of practice.

This is all the result of his unique way of cultivation.

Although the absolute strength is nothing, the speed of progress is already satisfactory enough.

After testing his physical strength, Zhou Qing focused more on the magnetic field.

In the past two months, he felt that his magnetic field ability had also increased a lot.

Two months ago, the strength of his magnetic field was only enough to suspend 30 kilograms of iron, which was already the limit.

And now, he can easily levitate the anvil weighing about 100 pounds in his yard.

This amount of weight was completely insignificant to him, but the purpose of the magnetic field was not to suspend heavy objects and hit people. Using it in that way would be too clumsy.

The magnetic field's effect on improving cultivation and creating long-distance acceleration channels can push the speed of iron balls to an incredible level. This is the true purpose of the magnetic field's supernatural power.

Not to mention other minor uses like affecting people's minds.

Compared with the increase in absolute strength, what made him more happy was the deepening of his ability to control magnetic fields.

For example, he can now split the same magnetic field into two gradient magnetic fields of different intensities. This gradient magnetic field is a powerful tool for accelerating iron balls.

For example, he can now quickly strengthen or weaken the magnetic field at a certain location, or change the direction of the magnetic field.

Theoretically, this alternating magnetic field can create an electric field. As long as the electric field is strong enough and the alternating frequency is high enough, it can penetrate the air and create lightning.

In other words, if this ability continues to evolve, making his magnetic field strong enough and able to quickly alternate magnetic fields, one day he will be able to launch lightning attacks with his bare hands.

By then his strength will have improved greatly!
