Lin Yi had rented a cave mansion for two days, and was continually practicing the Wind Law. However, the Wind Law needed constant use to level up faster. So, once he started running, the allure effect might not be as strong as when he was still.
Lady Yuan Yuan had a good idea, she clung to his back and tied them together with a silk sash. Close against his body, she whispered sweet nothings into his ear, making the speed of the spell/technique increase from around 10% to 30%.
Lin Yi was truly moved by Lady Yuan Yuan’s dedication. The female cultivators from Fairy Blossom Pavilion would never do such a thankless job. They neither could enjoy it nor gain from it in terms of cultivation levels; they would surely slack off.
After two days of cultivation in the cave mansion, the Wind Law still hadn’t achieved Great Perfection. He planned to return in a few days to try again. Once he reached Great Perfection, he could officially start cultivating the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind.
After leaving the cave mansion, Lin Yi went to help the Qing Yun City Guard with some corpses, still using the Rebirth Charms provided by the guards, not his own.
Each time he helped a departed soul transition, he would gain a Virtue Point. This would be a crucial way to save his life in the future. The comprehensive buff enhancement from the Minor Blessing State would undoubtedly come in handy.
In the next few days, while Lin Yi was making talismans and practicing the Wind Law, he often went to the vicinity of Single Line Mountain to feel the wind. He even tried Drawing in the Wind while sitting on a rock, but it had no effect.
If the Wind Transformation Technique was so easy to practice, the cultivator at Late Stage of Qi Refining hanging at the wind exit would have already mastered it.
Afterwards, he went to the cave mansion again. Through continuous enlightenment, he successfully upgraded the Wind Law to the Great Perfect Level.
At the moment of breakthrough to Great Perfection, Lin Yi could clearly feel the presence of wind. Even in the enclosed cave mansion, he could feel the faint wind, and truly traveled with the wind when using the Wind Law.
Of course, this was only the Wind Law, a low-level spell, and could only utilize the power of the wind, not control it.
Like the Cloud Rain Technique, it seemed to make rain at will, but that was only the effect of the spell, and could not really control the climate.
The next day after breaking through, Lin Yi arrived at Single Line Mountain. He confidently greeted the few cultivators hanging there, “Senior Brothers, hanging around, eh? I’ve finished my tasks and will be coming here for longer practice from now on. I hope you’ll give me some guidance.”
“Hahaha, Junior Brother, you’re being too formal. There’s no need for us to guide you. We haven’t yet mastered it, we can only share some experience. Shape up and let’s chat while we train.” The first cultivator Lin Yi had chatted with said amiably, after all, they all shared a bond in their shared hardship.
“Well, Senior Brother Qiao, you all have pondered over the wind for a long time and made some progress. I’ll sit down and feel the wind first.” Lin Yi coughed and said, hanging himself there could only be a swing, he couldn’t see any other effects for now.
That Senior Brother Qiao’s name was Qiao Zi Yi; he was sociable and liked to make friends. He was an Outer Sect disciple of Talisman Hall, and had to hand in the required talisman templates on schedule. The price was extremely low. However, he could earn Merit Points, which made it bearable. It was more stable than a Spirit Farmer who depended on the weather.
It was said that in the month before the punitive expedition set out, he was drawing talismans every day till his hand blistered and he couldn’t even hold chopsticks steadily while eating.
“That makes sense. You should find a rock to sit and experience it.” Qiao Zi Yi found this reasonable and nodded his agreement.
Lin Yi used the Wind Law to reach the top of the mountain. The wind was not very strong at the top of the mountain because the Single Line Mountain was in a special environment, surrounded by two other mountains.
It was like a funnel, letting the wind in first, then being surrounded by the mountain walls, only this one slit could allow wind to pass through. As a result, the wind flow in the fissure was extremely large, akin to a cross-ventilation effect.
Hanging from the stone nearest to the top of the mountain was a cultivator who was at the Qi refining seventh layer, named Ding YouZhi. He was an Outer Sect Disciple of the Spirit Stone Hall and had a simple job – using spells to grind the mined Spirit Stones, or the leftover scraps, into regulated products. The rewards and Merit Points were given based on the amount of grinding work done.
As the grinding process would lead to an overflow of Spiritual Energy, which could be absorbed by oneself, it was a department that many Outer Sect disciples strived to gain entry into.
Next to the grinding process was another procedure known as the Sealing Spirit process, where the polished Spirit Stones were quickly sealed with spells to prevent further energy leakage. Once inspected by the stewards of the Spirit Stone Hall and found to have a standard amount of internal Spiritual Energy, they would become standard Spirit Stones.
Of course, the Outer Sect Disciples were only responsible for crafting lower-grade Spirit Stones or Spiritual Pearls. Higher quality Spirit Stones were made by some of the Inner Sect disciples.
Talking to these senior sect members from different professions in the Outer Sect made Lin Yi realize the enormity of a sect. The role of a Spirit Farmer was just a small part of it.
After observing from the mountaintop, he began using the Wind Law to climb down. The moment he entered the fissure, a strong wind rushed at him like a wave, causing him to almost lose control of his body.
At this moment, Ding YouZhi’s voice came from the side, “Don’t use spells to resist, slowly perceive and adapt to it, drawing in the wind. You need to regard the wind as your friend, not an enemy. But the wind speed at the top of the mountain is too high, you may not be able to adapt. Better start from below the mountain.”
“Ah, Junior Brother Lin, why did you go up to the mountain top? Two disciples went up there before and jumped down directly, and they were blown miles away. Hurry and come down.” Upon hearing the sound, Qiao ZiYi, who was below them, looked up and anxiously said.
“Tsk, another new disciple who overestimates himself. You think we are not on top of the mountain but rather understanding the wind at the foot of the mountain for no reason.” Some cultivators remarked sarcastically and mockingly.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Ding and other senior brothers for your reminders.” Lin Yi, returning to the top of the mountain, bowed his fist towards the bottom. As expected, Senior Brother Ding, being the most experienced Wind Cultivator, had such rich experience.
Without hesitation, he went straight back to the bottom of the mountain. He didn’t climb up to the rocks above but sat directly on the ground of the fissure and began to perceive.
Qiao Zi Yi, who heard no movement from Lin Yi, looked down and couldn’t help but laugh. “Pfft, Junior Brother Lin, why are you sitting on the ground? The wind speed is not high there. It’s safe, but it’s not very effective for understanding the wind. Still, it’s better to come up and find a rock.”
The other cultivators also couldn’t help but find it amusing. They had seen timid people, but none as timid as this. However, he was indeed obedient.
With a smile on his face, Lin Yi slowly said, “Senior Brother Qiao, wind is formless. Sometimes it’s fast, sometimes slow. Sometimes it’s like a lover’s touch, other times it’s as harsh as a sword. So, I believe the speed of the wind will not affect perception.”
This was an insight he gained after reaching the Great Perfection of Wind Law. If the wind speed was too high and hurried, other than feeling the strong wind rushing towards you, you wouldn’t be able to savor the feeling brought by each wisp of wind.
Hence, after sensing the strong wind at the top, he didn’t hesitate to come down the mountain. These senior brothers had shared their experiences with him before, so he shouldn’t keep too many secrets.
However, this Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind was not something that could be broken through just by listening to others’ experiences, otherwise, there wouldn’t have been no one successfully mastering it for hundreds of years..
