The Magician of Cultivation

Compared to fighters, magicians are much rarer and more skilled.

Magicians rely mainly on talent, and they are born with strong mental powers.

This makes it easier for them to sense magical elements, and they generally have high intelligence and are able to communicate with the elements.

By signing a contract with the elements, they can absorb them into the spiritual sea in their bodies to form magic power.

These spiritual elements can be arranged and combined according to the magician's instructions to form runes with special functions.

Mental strength is crucial to the training of a magician.

Strong mental power allows them to communicate with the elements better and sign contracts. And strong mental power also makes it easier for them to understand complex magic runes.

To study magic is to analyze and memorize complex runes one by one.

Li Yu's cultivation is different from theirs. He collects spiritual energy into Dantian. The spiritual energy turns into liquid and Dan condenses into infant. The ability of the cultivator is constantly changing as he advances step by step.

In this process, the cultivator needs to constantly comprehend nature, understand the Dao, and pay attention to chance and perception. The Dao of the cultivators is different, so the methods are naturally different.

As for the Five Elements Technique that Li Yu practiced, it is a method of cultivating both inside and outside, emphasizing the balance of the five elements. In fact, it is the way of balance.

Inside, the ten elements of the Five Elements Sutra will enhance the physical strength equivalent to that of a fighter.

In addition, the Five Elements Talisman Spell is also the most intuitive manifestation of elemental power. It is somewhat similar to the magic released by a magician, that is to say, it is a bit like a combination of a fighter and a magician.

To put it in a nutshell, fighters are just applying the most basic abilities of elements; they cannot manipulate elements to form more powerful runes.

The magician can manipulate elements to form runes, but he is just standing on the surface. He can use runes, but he does not understand the essence of runes.

The cultivators jumped out of the interface and looked at the runes on the surface from a bird's-eye view. They understood the rules of the universe and the nature of the runes, and instead of manipulating the elements to form the runes step by step, they directly generated the runes.

This is a difference in ideological realm, and it is obvious which of the three is stronger and which is weaker.

All of Li Qing's hunting weapons were placed in the south room.

The houses in Yuexi Village are built in a similar manner in appearance, all facing due south or due north.

On both sides of the entrance are two rooms facing south, where daily necessities are placed.

Then there is the courtyard. The courtyard is not big, but you can grow some flowers or raise some poultry such as chickens and ducks. You can also hang clothes for washing and drying in this courtyard.

Further inside the courtyard is the main hall. Although it is rather simple, it can meet the basic needs of the family.

As soon as he entered the south room, Li Yu was attracted by a hard bow hanging on the east wall.

The bow was unstrung, about two and a half meters long, and was made entirely of white oak, a rare species in Camelback Mountain.

This bow left a deep impression on little Li Yu. It was passed down from his grandfather, and his father almost couldn't let it go. It can be said that this bow played a big role in his father becoming the only archer in the hunter team.

Below the bow is an arrow gourd made of green bamboo.

The gourd was filled with arrows, Li Yu estimated there were about 40 or 50 of them. Next to the gourd was a broad-backed machete, which was used for mountaineering and close combat.

Li Yu knew that his father, Li Qing, was an archer in the hunter team, responsible for long-range suppression. There were not many opportunities for close combat, and this broad-backed machete was also used to prevent accidents.

Li Yu looked at his father in front of him strangely.

As soon as Li Qing entered the south room, there was something unusual in his eyes.

He looked at the bow for a while, then looked at Li Yu, nodded and shook his head, and sighed from time to time, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Li Yu had no choice but to ask with a frown.

Li Qing seemed to be awakened by the sound. He looked at the bow again, as if he had finally made a decision.

He squatted down, touched Li Yu's head, and said with a smile, "Yu'er, you are ten years old this year. Dad wants to teach you archery, do you want to learn?"

Li Qing said this after some thought. His Li family has been the sharpshooters in the village for generations, so he naturally doesn't want this inheritance to be cut off.

He had originally planned to teach Li Yu the art of archery after he turned eight, but Li Yu had been ill for a year and had almost died several times, so he naturally had no other thoughts at that time.

But this time, Li Yu was shocked by the thunder and vomited blood. After waking up again, he was in very good spirits. When he pulled Li Yu's hand just now, he could clearly feel the strong beating of his pulse.

Moreover, his son’s eyes were no longer as lifeless as before, as if he had become a different person.

Although he didn't know why, Li Qing knew that his son should be better. After feeling that his son was better, his mind became active again.

"Learn archery?"

To be honest, Li Yu was not interested and even felt a little disdainful.

What use is there for archery? Is it as powerful as magic? No matter how powerful it is, it is just an ordinary weapon.

Not too much. As long as he enters the foundation-building stage and his body is strengthened, these ordinary swords and knives will not be able to hurt him at all.

But no matter what he thought, looking at Li Qing's expectant eyes, Li Yu had to pretend to be excited.

He clenched his two little fists, gestured a little, and shouted, "Okay, okay, Yu'er wants to learn archery from daddy, and become a great archer like daddy when he grows up."

After saying this, Li Yu secretly rolled his eyes.

Li Qing didn't see Li Yu's little trick.

Which father doesn't want to be the object of his children's admiration? His son's flattery made him feel very comfortable.

He picked up Li Yu and rubbed his hard beard on the latter's tender face, causing the latter to exclaim.

Then he put it down and walked out holding hands. As he walked, he turned back and shouted to Li Yu's mother Zhang Xiao'e, "Xiao'e, I'll take Yu'er to the training ground to play for a while."

Zhang Xiao'e naturally heard the conversation between the father and son. Seeing the happy faces of the father and son, she was also in a good mood.

He replied, "Be careful," and when he looked up again, there was no sign of Li Qing and the others.

Many villages around Tuofeng Mountain rely on hunting for their livelihood. Usually, hunters need a place to practice archery or exercise.

The training ground of Yuexi Village is just outside the village, outside the inverted triangle shaped fence.

In fact, although it is called a training ground, the layout is quite simple.

It is a relatively flat piece of land with some archery targets, sandbags, straw men and other equipment for physical exercise placed on it.

There is a long table on the side close to the village, which is responsible for registration and borrowing weapons. These things are public losses and are managed by someone specifically.

When Li Qing and Li Yu arrived at the training ground, there were already more than a dozen people training there, with sounds of "heheheha" coming one after another.

Li Qing did not look at those people, but went straight to the long table. Behind the long table, there was an old man in his fifties, who was sitting with a smile on his face and looked very amiable.
