Chapter 375: Comprehending Methods Under the Tree

After saying goodbye to Lin Shanshan, Ning Zhuo returned to the cave dwelling on the Small Contention Peak.

He first took out a meditation cushion, sat down, closed his eyes and meditated, and examined himself.

He was now at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, practicing three techniques, both meditating and breathing, and refining blood energy. Therefore, the time he spent on cultivation accumulation every day was almost three times that of others.

He had to conduct special training every day to improve his martial arts.

He also had various external exchanges, such as inspecting Medicine Field Mountain, negotiating with the Myriad Medicine Sect, and discussing major cooperation matters. For example, this time he took the initiative to challenge the demon cultivator Chang Yan, who was ranked higher.

His time was very tight, simply counting seconds, calculating every bit.

Even so, there were many things he couldn't complete.

For example, in terms of machines, the time he could squeeze out every day to practice control techniques was only a short cup of tea.

There was also the matter of designing a mechanical body for Meng Yehu, which was delayed again and again, and he hadn't even made a start.

Ning Zhuo wished he could split himself into two.

Time was too scarce!

"Now, I have to add another item of Enlightenment Method Diagrams."

Ning Zhuo finished his cultivation and took out three diagrams.

"I hope I can gain something."

Ning Zhuo checked them again; these three diagrams were the Old Tree Rooting Diagram, the Mountain Night Listening to Waves Diagram, and the Tree Bottom Peeking at Heaven Diagram.

From Lin Shanshan, he already knew the "answers" to these three diagrams—which Wood element spells they corresponded to.

He chose the first diagram, which was relatively simple, to try to comprehend.

Ning Zhuo stared at the diagram and looked carefully, his expression focused.

Soon, his mind was completely immersed in this diagram, no longer disturbed by the movement of the outside world.

He watched every detail of the root system, his gaze wandering along the twists and turns of the root system. His thoughts also unfolded with the shape of the root system, carefully observing the interlacing of every root system and the entanglement of every vine.

Gradually, he pursued a natural rhythm.

Ning Zhuo's breathing became steady and deep, his body leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to throw himself into the world in the painting.

His heart became more and more calm, feeling the deep meaning contained in the diagram.

However, just as his body and mind were gradually resonating with it, a strong sense of hunger suddenly struck, breaking his state of comprehension.

He reacted and opened his eyes.

It turned out that he didn't know when he had closed his eyes. Even if his gaze was not fixed on the painting, his spiritual sense was always deeply penetrating the Enlightenment Method Diagram.

Ning Zhuo's stomach made a gurgling sound, and a strong sense of fatigue and weakness struck.

He discovered that "a short moment" was entirely his own illusion; he had maintained this state for a full three hours.

Although he had taken the Grain Grain Grain Bigu Pill, his body still couldn't withstand the consumption.

At the same time, in the spirit sea of the upper dantian, his spiritual thoughts were exhausted, and his spirit had also declined to the bottom.

The state of comprehension was a huge consumption of brainpower. The consumption of spirit and spiritual thoughts was even more terrifying.

"Is this the state of comprehending the Enlightenment Method Diagram?" Ning Zhuo was both tired and happy.

This was the first time he had entered this state, and he felt very novel.

Besides that, he was also quite surprised and satisfied. After all, he was worried before that he couldn't comprehend the Wood element Enlightenment Method Diagram.

Now it seemed that he didn't have outstanding talent in the ice attribute, but he had unusual comprehension ability in the Wood element.

Ning Zhuo took this experience and shared it with Sun Lingtong.

Sun Lingtong said, "It is rare to enter the state of comprehension for the first time. If you continue to develop in the Wood element, Little Zhuo, you will have a bright future."

Ning Zhuo said, "Boss, you should also comprehend it. After all, these diagrams are borrowed; when the time limit is up, they have to be returned."

Sun Lingtong was also interested and expressed his agreement, "You come into the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon first, I will watch for you."

Ning Zhuo entered the mechanical swimming dragon.

He first ate and drank some spiritual food, and rested for a while, readjusting his state.

Then, he came to the storage cabin and took out a willow tree.

This willow tree was dug out, its roots locked with a large piece of soil, and it was placed vertically on the floor.

Ning Zhuo took out a meditation cushion and sat down directly under the tree.

The willow tree's mystery was restrained, and it was full of vitality. The willow leaves were tender yellow, the willow leaves were evergreen, like a layer of thin jade, transparent, almost transparent.

It was the Spirit Hidden Willow!

Ning Zhuo was under the tree, the fragrance of the willow tree was like sandalwood and orchid, refreshing the heart, distant and quiet.

Ning Zhuo had not yet adjusted his state, but he felt refreshed, his worries dissipated, his spiritual thoughts moved frequently, and his wisdom surged.

"Good tree." Ning Zhuo, full of expectations, took out the Old Tree Rooting Diagram and began to comprehend.

In an instant, it was as if he had entered the world in the diagram.

He stood barefoot on the tree vines and roots, feeling the roughness, twists, and turns of the tree roots, and the restrained power and vitality.

The Spirit Hidden Willow sensed Ning Zhuo comprehending, and without wind, it brushed, pieces of willow leaves fell off naturally, drifting around Ning Zhuo, slowly turning into green light spots, and quickly dissipated.

Ning Zhuo "placed himself" in the Enlightenment Method Diagram, and suddenly his body underwent a wonderful change, his whole person gradually raised and climbed, changing into a tree. A large number of vines grew from his body, slowly and quickly spreading to the surroundings.

These tree roots and vines were entangled with the original roots and vines, entangled with each other, soft and firm, containing infinite power between the entanglements.

At this moment, spiritual light flashed frequently in Ning Zhuo's spirit sea of the upper dantian.

He commanded these vines to constantly extend and retract, as if they were arms and fingers.

The big tree in front of him was his best teacher. He imitated it, learned from it, let himself merge with nature, and thus, power erupted in the entanglement, having both the flexibility of vines and the toughness of root systems.

He completely understood!

Wood element spell—Root Vine Entanglement.

Ning Zhuo opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

Looking at the Old Tree Rooting Diagram in front of him again, it was clear at a glance, and there was no mystery anymore.

"Only passed an hour and a little bit?"

Ning Zhuo calculated the time; the time was pitifully short. And what he understood was more than dozens of times what he tried before?

"And, the state is better, it didn't fall to the bottom, at least the stomach is not hungry, and the spiritual thoughts still remain 30%."

Ning Zhuo touched his belly, then looked up at the Spirit Hidden Willow beside him.

"Good tree, good tree!" He sighed from his heart.

At the same time, he also keenly observed that a willow branch on the Spirit Hidden Willow was already bare, the willow leaves had fallen off, and the willow branch had become shriveled and withered, as if it had lost moisture.

After resting for a while, Ning Zhuo took out the second Mountain Night Listening to Waves Diagram.

On the cliff, there was a simple wooden house.

The window facing the cliff was open, and a cultivator was leaning against the window, as if practicing breathing, as if closing his eyes and thinking, and as if listening with his ears.

It was late at night, and the mountains outside the window were dark, deep, and vast.

Only a little light in the room reflected a warm corner.

The mountain wind was strong, blowing the lamp light flickering, and the cultivator's clothes were swaying. Although the lamp light could not shine too far, near the small wooden house, one could vaguely see the shadow of the pine tree swaying in the wind, and the outline of the branches was looming.

And further outside, occupying 80% of the entire picture, it was all darkness.

However, the deep darkness was not monotonous. If you observe carefully, you can see the faint huge arcs in the darkness, like waves, connecting heaven and earth, crisscrossing east and west.

Mountain Night Listening to Waves Diagram!

What he listened to was naturally not water waves, but the waves of pine trees under the mountain wind.

Under the Spirit Hidden Willow, Ning Zhuo's mind focused and threw himself into the painting again.

He turned into a guest, leaning against the wooden window, his eyes slightly closed, and his ears were full of endless waves.

The waves were sometimes surging like a tide, and sometimes gentle like fine rain. What a surging vitality, what a vast natural power!

After about an hour, Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of shock remained in his eyes.

He understood the Mountain Night Listening to Waves Diagram.

He made persistent efforts and took out the third diagram.

Tree Bottom Peeking at Heaven Diagram!

The painting was full of dense branches and leaves, and the dense leaves were layered, piled up into an airtight green dome, almost covering the entire clear sky.

Lying on the grass and looking up, the line of sight could only barely see a little bit of the blue sky and clear sky from the gaps in the leaves.

The blue sky was like a wash, but it could only reveal stars in the gaps of the leaves. Here, trees, branches, and leaves were the whole world, isolated from the outside world, forming a system of their own.

Ning Zhuo placed himself in the painting, feeling the distance of the outside world, feeling isolated from the world.

That little bit of blue sky and clear sky reflected the seclusion of the forest world.

However, he was not a prisoner, but the master of this forest, the king, the master, the god!

After about two hours, Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes and showed fatigue again.

The Tree Bottom Peeking at Heaven Diagram was the most difficult and deepest of the three diagrams, and it had also been understood by him!

Ning Zhuo mastered three brand-new Wood element spells, because he directly understood the mystery through the Enlightenment Method Diagram, so he saved a lot of time and energy to improve the spells.

"With just these three spells of mine, if I face Hanzhou again, I will definitely make him unable to get close!"

Ning Zhuo's combat power soared, his confidence also rose, and he looked forward to his battle with Chang Yan even more.

"Boss, boss, come quickly, it's your turn."

"The Spirit Hidden Willow is really easy to use, I understood three spells in a row, far easier than comprehending alone."

Ning Zhuo greeted Sun Lingtong and shared this joy with him.

Sun Lingtong giggled, "Good, I'll play and see too!"

Ning Zhuo exited the mechanical swimming dragon and continued his cultivation.

For the next few days, he maintained special training in martial arts with Lin Shanshan.

He improved rapidly, and he was already balanced in attack and defense, and the proportion of attacks was close to 50% of the movements.

Lin Shanshan marveled at Ning Zhuo's aptitude while asking him about his comprehension of the Enlightenment Method Diagrams.

Ning Zhuo said that he had already entered the good state of comprehending the first Old Tree Rooting Diagram, but the other two had not been studied carefully.

Lin Shanshan learned this and showed joy, "Just one day, and you have already been able to comprehend it. Young Master Ning Zhuo, I really didn't misread you."
