Cultivation: I Forge Immortality with My Spiritual Eyes

"Clang clang—!"

On the leeward slope, a piercing cutting sound rang out.

Jiang Yi and Niu Yaojin used their magical artifacts to carve out a cave in a boulder.

The cave entrance faces the sea, making it easy to keep an eye on the movements of fishing boats.

The two entered the cave, sat down on the ground, and their expressions relaxed slightly.

Outside the cave, a torrential downpour was underway, accompanied by deafening thunder.

All I could see was a vast expanse of white, as if the world had collapsed.

Such is the way of the celestial phenomena at sea; they can change in an instant without any warning.

Therefore, every time Jiang Yi went out to sea to fish, he would moor his boat near a deserted island, just to avoid this.

Once the sea conditions change, one can immediately go to the island to avoid disaster.

If you are stranded on the vast ocean, with no one to rely on, your flimsy little fishing boat simply cannot withstand the turmoil.

"Damn it, this awful weather! Another wasted trip!"

Niu Yaojin's face was gloomy as he took out his wine flask and took a big gulp.

Jiang Yi smiled faintly:

"You get used to making a living at sea."

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt the little one in my arms become unusually restless, squirming and trying to crawl out.

A smile played on his lips as he reached out and scooped Little Pear out of the water, gently stroking its fur, and said softly:

"Don't be afraid, it's just thunder and rain, it won't get you wet."

"Meow~"

Little Pear wagged its tail wildly, staring intently at the thunderstorm outside, its little paws flailing back and forth, excitedly trying to break free from my grasp and run outside.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi's heart stirred, and he looked up at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, lost in thought.

He could vaguely sense the little guy's urgent desire, as if he was attracted by something outside.

After a moment's thought, he made up his mind.

He then turned his head to look at Niu Yaojin and laughed:

"Today, with its wind and rain and abundant moisture, it's perfect for practicing magic. We rarely have such free time; would Fellow Daoist Niu like to join us for a practice session?"

Niu Yaojin was taken aback, then waved his hand and said:

"I'm not going. You should take it easy too. Who knows when this awful weather will stop? There are more than just the two of us on this island; there are a lot of other people following us. We need to have some reserves to deal with any unexpected situations."

Jiang Yi nodded slightly:

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Niu, I know what I'm doing."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes narrowed, and he secretly channeled his magical power, forming hand seals and chanting incantations.

As the water-avoidance technique was cast, a thin layer of water vapor condensed and formed, enveloping his entire body like a veil.

After a few breaths, the water vapor slowly stabilized, turning into a nearly invisible thin film that completely blocked out the wind and rain.

Jiang Yi exhaled a breath of turbid air, sensing the speed at which his magical power was dissipating. He then picked up Xiao Li and walked out of the cave, stepping into the rain.

The torrential rain poured down, but it was all blocked; the water droplets slid off the thin film, and my clothes remained completely dry.

"Tsk..."

Niu Yaojin took another swig of wine and watched as Jiang Yi walked to an open space, his figure blurred in the mist, vaguely practicing his magic.

I couldn't help but sigh:

"Even in this weather, you don't forget to cultivate; I've never seen you so diligent before..."

He smacked his lips and suddenly felt a strange pressure.

After thinking for a moment, he silently put down the wine pouch, formed a hand seal, and drew a stream of water vapor to flow around his fingertips, beginning to hone his skills...

the other side.

Jiang Yi stood quietly in the rain, his face serious, his ten fingers forming a mudra, chanting incantations in a low voice, guiding his magical power to circulate along specific meridians.

He cast the spell very slowly, trying his best to keep the magic power stable, which clearly showed that he was not very skilled.

A good while passed.

Finally, water shimmered in front of him, forming a solid wall of water, crystal clear and endlessly flowing.

Jiang Yi's expression relaxed slightly as he continued to cast spells to maintain the water wall, guiding it to flow and change slowly, gradually enveloping his entire body.

This is the Water Shield Technique.

The original owner had already mastered it, but due to his low cultivation level, neither the casting speed nor the power of the spell was satisfactory.

In the event of a sudden danger, there is no time to slowly cast spells; it is far more convenient and practical to activate a talisman.

The spell lasted for a few breaths. Feeling the rapidly pouring magical power, Jiang Yi shook his head and stopped casting the spell.

The water wall burst open with a "whoosh," turning into a cloud of mist and disappearing.

He took a deep breath, raised his hands again to form a hand seal, and began practicing the water arrow technique...

At the same moment.

Not far from here, there is a low, dense forest, which happens to be located in a blind spot of the cave.

Little Pear had already broken free from the embrace and slipped inside in the rain.

The little guy was overjoyed, completely oblivious to the fact that his fur was wet and clinging to his body.

Its little paws gripped the tree trunk, and in no time it climbed up to the branches and leaves, its big eyes staring intently at the sky, its expression unusually excited.

Especially when lightning flashes and thunder roars, it meows excitedly.

Sharp claws emerged from its paw pads, scratching incessantly at the tree bark, as if it wanted nothing more than to pounce on it.

In such thunderstorms, not only is the air thick with moisture, but the atmosphere of thunder is also extremely intense.

Little Pear clung to the tree trunk, twisting its body from time to time, brandishing its sharp claws, and instinctively swallowing and spitting something out.

Gradually, the nearby free-floating thunder energy was drawn in by an invisible force, slowly gathering and flowing into its body in wisps.

During this process, faint purple arcs of electricity occasionally crackled between Little Pear's fur and claws.

Its originally adorable appearance has unexpectedly revealed a hint of domineering power.

Time slips away unnoticed.

Half an incense stick's time passed in the blink of an eye.

The thunderstorms showed no signs of abating; on the contrary, they intensified.

Thunder and rain raged, winds howled, and towering waves crashed against the desolate island and reef.

The little pear remained hidden among the branches and leaves, continuously absorbing the aura of thunder.

The little tail swayed happily behind it, clearly enjoying the process immensely.

As it continued to gather and pull, the nearby thunderous energy grew increasingly heavy, and crackling sounds and sparks flew from time to time between the treetops.

Not far away, under the curtain of rain.

Jiang Yi practiced his magic intermittently, his face already somewhat pale.

He pointed his right hand like a sword, slowly twisted it, and a water arrow shot swiftly in front of him.

The arrow is translucent, shimmering with light, and its sharpness is striking.

"go!"

A moment later, with a soft shout, the water arrow shot out, cutting through the air and striking a reef several meters away.

With a loud "bang," water splashed everywhere, stone chips flew everywhere, and a huge crater was blown open on the surface of the reef.

"Phew~"

Jiang Yi let out a soft sigh, put away the incantation, calmed his inner energy, and shook his head inwardly.

The cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining is ultimately too weak, with shallow magical power and insufficient foundation.

Even daily practice of magic is difficult to sustain, let alone fighting against enemies.

I must break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible.

Once we return to the market, we'll buy some pills to improve our cultivation!

Take a short break.

Jiang Yi stopped practicing magic, wanting to conserve his power to deal with the crisis.

He looked towards the dense forest where Xiaoli was, observing the crackling arcs of electricity among the trees, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

This little guy was born with the ability to gather lightning; I wonder what kind of bloodline he has.

I've never heard of a raccoon dog possessing such a talent before.

We need to pay close attention to it and find out its origins as soon as possible.

After a short while, Jiang Yi withdrew his gaze and looked around.

At this moment, visibility was poor, the sky was dark, and the wind and rain obstructed the view. There was no one watching nearby.

"That's about it..."

He muttered to himself, took a step, and wanted to call Xiaoli back.

"Crack—!"

But the next moment, a blinding bolt of lightning tore through the sky, suddenly illuminating the world!

As if drawn by the thunderous energy below, it slashed straight down into the dense forest!

"Boom—!!"

Thunderous power descended, deafeningly loud!

In an instant, branches and leaves in the dense forest flew up and fell to the ground, blue smoke rose straight up, and the smell of burning filled the air.

"this!"

Jiang Yi's expression changed drastically, and his pupils contracted sharply.

He immediately leaped onto the ground and sprinted towards the spot where the lightning had struck...
