Inside the wooden house.
Chen Mobai looked at the Blackwater on the table that he bought with all his savings, and he couldn’t help but be filled with many thoughts.
If it wasn’t for an urgent need, he would never have spent so much Spirit Stone.
He hoped the effect would satisfy him.
He opened the bottle. A refreshing mist rose up. Looking inside, although it was called “Blackwater,” it was very clear and had a faint medicinal fragrance. The Divine Wood Sect, after all, was a malor sect in the Eastern Wilderness, so the quality of what they sold was guaranteed.
Chen Mobai used the “Water Controlling Technique” and the Blackwater in the bottle started to turn into a thin thread, like a string of necklaces falling into the palm of his hand.
After a conversation with Lu Shu, he understood the origin of the Blackwater Cultivation. It’s one of the seven Qi Cultivation techniques of the five-element Water Vein, that can be cultivated up to the Golden Core Realm. Although it’s not the most powerful technique in the Water Vein, it is one of the most famous Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques in the Eastern Wilderness.
The core of this technique lies in the refinement of the “Blackwater”. The subsequent advancement of spells, and even the refinement of the Magic Artifact, is all about the continuous advancement of this “Blackwater”.
Chen Mobai naturally had no intention of changing his cultivation to this technique, but he found the construction of its spell system quite interesting.
In the Tianhe Realm, due to the collapse of rituals and chaotic order, cultivators often engage in magic duels. So, the most important aspect of their cultivation techniques lies in the breakthrough of realms and the construction of a system for all techniques and magic artifacts that can enhance combat capabilities.
This Blackwater Cultivation is a typical Tianhe Realm technique. It uses “Water Controlling Technique” as a basis, followed by the core “Blackwater”. Once Blackwater is refined, there is the defensive “Water Elemental Shield”, followed by the offensive “Cold Ice Technique”, and finally, the Rank-3 “Ren Water Thunder Method”.
All spells are based on this Blackwater.
Chen Mobai began to use the “Water Elemental Shield”. The Blackwater in his palm scattered and floated up to the middle of the room according to his will, forming a water wall as thin as a cicada’s wings.
Compared with the basic spell of the Immortal Sect, the Spiritual Force Shield, this Water Elemental Shield is more flexible.
The Spiritual Force Shield releases all of one’s spiritual power at once, forming a defense shield without any dead angles on the whole body. But the drawback of this spell is also quite obvious. After using it, the whole body’s spiritual power is exhausted and it’s very wasteful.
This is a defensive spell that the Immortal Sect requires everyone to cultivate so that it can save one’s life in case of accidents like car crashes.
The pros and cons of the Spiritual Force Shield are very obvious.
The Water Elemental Shield, however, is different. It manipulates this bottle of Blackwater. As long as one’s mind is in motion and you can see the way of the opponent’s attack, you can place all the defensive power on the path of the opponent’s attack in advance.
If the “Spiritual Force Shield” is a foolproof full-body defense, the “Water Elemental Shield” is a predictive defense, and the latter’s consumption of spiritual power is only one percent of the former’s.
in other words, if he wants to use the “Water Elemental Shield” well, Chen Mobai still needs to improve his magic duel skills.
He took out his needle box, ready to test the defensive power of the Water Elemental Shield.
Luckily he had developed the Divine Sense, and he could easily multitask. With a “swoosh”, the yellow Flying Needle, repelled by the magnetism of the needle box, shot out like a bullet, forming a stream of light piercing the Water Elemental Shield set up by Chen Mobai in front of the wooden house pillar.
The faint semi-transparent water wall, under the sharp attack of the flying needle, acted like elastic gelatin, being pierced into the sharp shape of the needle. But under the constant infusion of his spiritual power, it didn’t break at all. Instead, it caught the flying needle within the water wall.
Ding-dong!
After the magnetism on the flying needle was exhausted, it lost all momentum and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Chen Mobai looked at the intact water wall, which was only deformed into the shape of a needle tip, and nodded in satisfaction.
Now with the needle box for offense and the Water Elemental Shield for defense, he should not in much danger moving around the edge of the Cloud
Dream Marsh.
Thinking of this, he tried the defensive limit of the Water Elemental Shield and also tested the offensive limit of the needle box.
After the late stage of Qi Cultivation, this magic artifact was easy for him to control completely.
Half an hour later, Chen Mobai, who had the feel of the power of the needle box and Water Elemental Shield, put away both things.
The twelve flying needles scattered around the wooden house, like baby swallows returning to the nest, clanged back into the box under the pull of the needle’s magnetism. Under the control of the Water Controlling Technique, the Blackwater returned into the Jade Vial, like a string of water bead necklaces. According to Liu Yanpei’s cultivation notes, this “Blackwater” also has usage limitations. After the Water Elemental Shield has been used hundreds of times, the elixir spiritual energy refined into it would be overly consumed, and it needed to be refined and extracted again. Otherwise, it would become unreliable.
After calming his breath for a while and recovering his consumed spiritual power, Chen Mobai started to cultivate the “Cold Ice Technique”. This spell also needs Blackwater. It uses the Water Controlling Technique to transform Blackwater into any shape you need, then concentrates own spiritual power into an Ice Breath, freezing Blackwater. It can be made into an Ice Wall for defense, an Ice Blade for attack, or a Ice Arrow for shooting. It’s very versatile.
However, this spell consumes even more “Blackwater” than the Water Elemental Shield. After freezing and melting twenty times, the Blackwater needs to be remixed.
Chen Mobai just bought this bottle of Blackwater, and he felt a bit distressed using it to practice the Cold Ice Technique. But in order to improve his magic duel skills, this spell had to be mastered. If it comes to the worst, he would work harder and later sell some Spirit Talismans he made himself.
Following Liu Yanpei’s cultivation notes, he raised the spiritual power from his Dantian, and started the Qigong practice at his twelve luo-connecting points. With a “huh”, a stream of air spouted from his mouth and fell on the Blackwater that was condensed into a stick shape by the Water Controlling Technique in front of him.
Then, there was no reaction!
He failed.
Chen Mobai sighed. He felt he really didn’t have any talent for spells. He had been practicing this Ice Breath since he broke through to the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation, but it had never been successful.
Not to mention condensing water into ice, he hadn’t even seen a trace of frost appearing.
And he also blamed the fact that the spell records in the Tianhe Realm were not detailed enough. If it was like the teachers at the Earth Elemental Planet School, who not only drew diagrams when explaining spells, matched the human body’s meridian spiritual power flow lines, and even made more detailed video explanations, wouldn’t he be able to practice this Cold Ice Technique?
At this moment, the alarm on his mobile phone rang.

It reminded Chen Mobai that it was time to go home.
He turned off the alarm. He clicked [City Return] in the wooden house at Cloud Dream Marsh Qing Light Island.
-I need to buy more talismans. Fortunately, I have some money now. It’s just a pity I didn’t get that ‘Xuan Yang Purple Fire Talisman’ last time. The Pure Yang Academy is too stingy, they only released a hundred.
Back in his room, Chen Mobai mumbled to himself while he began to wash up and change his clothes.
It’s the farewell dinner with his classmates today..
