Chapter 395: Heart-to-Heart Seal

Such a cultivation method is of great significance.

Taking Hua Guzi as an example, if she wants to establish a family in the future and spread her branches and leaves, these cultivation methods will be an important part of the family business!

"The ancestor should arrive in the next few days."

"At that time, I will extract the content related to the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum and let him take it back for the family to use."

Ning Zhuo made arrangements in his heart.

While waiting for his ancestor Ning Jiufan, he continued his own cultivation.

To this day, he has experienced important battles such as Hanzhou, Chang Yan, and Hua Guzi, and has completely established a firm foothold on Little Contention Peak, gaining the recognition of the vast number of cultivators.

Coupled with the fact that Lin Shanshan's senior brothers no longer plotted against him, Ning Zhuo's life became very peaceful.

Every day, he went to the martial arts arena to spar with Hanzhou.

Oh, and Hua Guzi.

This half-demon, half-human female cultivator blocked Ning Zhuo's path again the day after she gave the gift, and gave him a gift in public.

Ning Zhuo had no choice; just as he felt that it was difficult to make significant improvements from Hanzhou, he let Hua Guzi participate in the daily sparring activities.

Hua Guzi was overjoyed!

When she went to sleep that night, she couldn't sleep, her legs clamped the quilt, her face full of silly smiles and fantasies, tossing and turning, indulging for a whole night.

Although she was weak in close combat, her spell-casting was very strong.

When Ning Zhuo sparred, he mainly fought with her using spells.

In terms of wood-attribute spells, Ning Zhuo was still crushed by Hua Guzi. But he was not as arrogant as his peers; the difficult experiences in Fire Persimmon Immortal City had long made him understand what was truly important.

Ning Zhuo immersed himself in the sparring, and countless new feelings came one after another.

After each sparring session, he would carefully think and review the gains and losses during the rest. After returning to the cave dwelling, he would also review the day's fighting, summarize experience, and constantly improve himself.

His progress was once again visible to the naked eye, with different improvements every day.

"As expected of you, Young Master Ning Zhuo!" Hua Guzi witnessed Ning Zhuo's rapid progress and praised him repeatedly, her tone enthusiastic, almost fawning.

While she was speaking, she took the opportunity to take a few steps forward, wanting to get closer to Ning Zhuo.

"Where, where, I'm still far behind." Ning Zhuo stepped back a few steps without a trace, always paying attention to keeping a distance from Hua Guzi, while not forgetting to humbly ask for advice, "I see that when you cast wood-attribute spells, some are very swift, almost without any trace of starting; why is this?"

"This, this is the Heart Seal." Hua Guzi's eyes were like fire, staring at Ning Zhuo, and she said casually.

"Heart Seal!" A flash of brilliance appeared in Ning Zhuo's eyes.

Hua Guzi took advantage of his thinking and took a few more steps forward.

Ning Zhuo's face turned cold: "Stop, explain it to me right here."

Hua Guzi gave a start, her heart screaming: "I've been taught a lesson, I've been taught a lesson by Young Master Ning Zhuo!!"

Joyful emotions spread through her heart.

And Ning Zhuo, who perceived the inside story through the Human Thread of Life and the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal, couldn't help but have his face turn slightly black.

Fortunately, Hua Guzi was obedient and explained to Ning Zhuo: "Young Master Ning Zhuo must know about the Mouth Seal, Body Seal, and Heart Seal."

Ning Zhuo nodded.

Hua Guzi said from a high vantage point: "These three are all techniques controlled by cultivators, and in essence, they are the same—they are all ways to guide and use magic power."

"The Mouth Seal is controlled through specific incantations and syllables. For example, the 'Zha' sound, the 'Heng Ha' two breaths, etc."

"The Body Seal is usually hand gestures and finger seals, but there are also twisting of the body to achieve this purpose. For example, the most famous Heavenly Demon Dance."

"The Heart Seal is to guide magic power through heart thoughts and will to achieve the effect of instantly releasing spells."

"The reason why I cast some spells extremely swiftly is because I used the Heart Seal!"

Ning Zhuo was very interested in this, because his My Buddha Heart Demon Seal could emit a Heart Seal.

Hua Guzi said: "The premise of using the Heart Seal is, first, that the spirit and heart are highly concentrated, which requires training. Second, there must be spell talisman seeds in the Foundation Establishment dantian."

Ning Zhuo nodded: "I know this too. Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage will choose some spells as their life-bound spells."

"If the cultivation is refined to a certain degree, and the understanding of the spell goes from the surface to the inside, and the principles are realized, a spell talisman seed can be formed."

"When the Golden Core is forged in the future, these spell talismans will be carved on the surface of the Golden Core, completely promoted to life-bound spells."

"These life-bound spells are not only more powerful when cast, but also released more quickly, and can be combined with others on their basis to strike out more complex and varied powers."

"However, how can one realize these spell talismans and understand the spell talisman seeds? And how should I choose?"

Hua Guzi replied: "First of all, our choice of spells is actually limited. Depending on the different cultivation methods we practice, many cultivation methods will naturally produce some spell talisman seeds when practiced to a certain stage. And these spells are often closely related to the cultivation method and are part of the cultivation method itself."

"As for how to realize spell talismans, I used them many times and then realized them, and finally formed them."

Ning Zhuo then asked how many times she had used them.

As a result, Hua Guzi told him that she couldn't count. She formed the talisman seed in her Foundation Establishment dantian during the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Ning Zhuo wanted a talisman seed in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, which had many difficulties.

"On one hand, it's a problem of realizing the core principles of the spell; on the other hand, the premise of constructing a talisman seed is that the dantian must shine. Only with brilliance can you use the brilliance to construct spell talisman seeds."

This made Ning Zhuo very disappointed.

Because the stage of dantian shining is not something that can be possessed in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

It must be that the foundation of the dantian has reached the level of overflowing, only then can it produce brilliance.

The Heart Seal didn't work, but the Body Seal and Mouth Seal could be practiced.

Ning Zhuo discussed this with Hua Guzi.

Although Hua Guzi was a loose cultivator, her inheritance was very good, and she knew these things very well, and she told Ning Zhuo everything she knew.

Excluding her burning gaze, her little actions of trying to get close to Ning Zhuo, and her occasional silly laughter and drooling, she was indeed a good teacher.

Ning Zhuo chose to practice the Mouth Seal.

Under Hua Guzi's guidance, Ning Zhuo made rapid progress and soon compressed the Mouth Seal to his current ability limit.

"Earth veins lurking, mysterious roots deep, vines entangling, all things imprisoned. Rise!"

Wood-attribute—Root Vine Entanglement.

"Pine wind whistling, emerald waves surging, forest sea rolling, overturning the earth. Swing!"

Wood-attribute—Pine Waves and Emerald Surges.

"Ancient trees pale, tree world vast, heaven and earth changing color, spirit roots born. Arrive!"

Wood-attribute—Tree World Arrival.

Considering that the ten fingers need to hang threads and pull lines, finger seals are not possible.

The Heart Seal is not enough for now, so he can only use the Mouth Seal.

He uses the Mouth Seal now, the incantation is a bit long, and the actual time to cast the spell is about the same as before, or even a bit slower.

But in actual combat, Ning Zhuo's combat power has significantly increased.

This is because Ning Zhuo had to be fully focused when casting spells before, with his spirit controlling the magic power, and he had to be meticulous.

Now, he only needs to speak the Mouth Seal to cast the spell, and his attention can be completely placed on controlling the mechanical puppet, achieving two things at once.

"In just one day, Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo has made such progress; it is truly gratifying." Hanzhou entered the martial arts arena and saw Ning Zhuo practicing, sighing sincerely.

Sun Lingtong also agreed very much, nodding repeatedly inside the mechanical wandering dragon.

He knew the various reasons—this was actually accumulation and thin hair!

"Little Zhuo's basic skills are very solid. It's just that for the past fourteen years, he has been lacking in frontal confrontation and sparring in Fire Persimmon Immortal City."

"Mainly to restrain his sharpness and hide his clumsiness, so even if there were sparring or practice in the academy, Little Zhuo only used one or two percent of his strength, which naturally didn't provide any benefit."

"Although he had many actual battles during the period of controlling the black market, battles involving life and death are very dangerous and must be fought with full force. This meant there was no sparring to discover one's own flaws and improve one's own abilities through frontal competition."

"Brother Hanzhou." Ning Zhuo greeted him while sparring.

Hanzhou was about to respond when Hua Guzi's voice transmission followed closely: "How did this beggar get in?"

"This is the world of me and Young Master Ning Zhuo!"

"Go away!!"

Hanzhou: "?!"

He sneered and responded via voice transmission: "Fellow Daoist Hua doesn't know, this martial arts arena is where Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo and I often spar; compared to us, you are the last one to join."

As a result, Hua Guzi was unreasonable and kept asking Hanzhou to leave, leaving her alone with Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo had the Human Thread of Life and immediately sensed it.

Immediately, he said coldly to Hua Guzi: "Fellow Daoist Hua, Brother Hanzhou was invited by me. As the saying goes, among three people, there must be my teacher. Having one more person to spar with is very beneficial to us!"

He didn't use voice transmission for these words, but spoke directly, making Hanzhou secretly moved.

Hua Guzi's face changed, revealing a fawning smile: "Young Master Ning Zhuo is right."

Distracted while speaking, she was hit in the lower abdomen by the mechanical fist controlled by Ning Zhuo.

Hua Guzi flew out like a lobster and fell to the ground.

Hanzhou was startled.

Ning Zhuo said coldly: "Fellow Daoist Hua, when we spar, please be fully focused."

Hua Guzi screamed in her heart: "He hit me, he hit me again! He hit my abdomen, it hurts... it hurts so comfortably!"

Hua Guzi bared her teeth and grimaced, distorting her expression to prevent her joy from leaking, not knowing that it was sensed clearly by Ning Zhuo.

"This female cultivator..." Ning Zhuo's face turned even colder.

Hanzhou was fearful for Ning Zhuo.

As a result, the next moment, Hua Guzi floated up again and said submissively: "Young Master Ning Zhuo, you are right to teach me!"

After saying this, she gave Hanzhou a fierce look.

Hanzhou:...

In the subsequent time together, Hanzhou often received fierce looks from Hua Guzi.

"I'm afraid I'm redundant!" Hanzhou felt bitter in his heart, feeling that he was being squeezed out.

Ning Zhuo, however, took more care of him and did not neglect him.

Ning Zhuo needed to rely on Hanzhou as a third party to curb Hua Guzi's infatuation. After all, when outsiders were present, Hua Guzi was much more restrained.

When the sparring ended that day, the three left the martial arts arena, and there was a short stretch of road they walked together.

Ning Zhuo walked in the middle, Hanzhou on the left, Guzi on the right, already having a small atmosphere.

Ning Jiufan hid in the crowd, looking at Ning Zhuo, and nodded secretly: "How long has this kid been here, and he already has two Foundation Establishment cultivators following him. And their cultivation is higher than Ning Zhuo's."

"As expected of my Ning family descendant."

Ning Zhuo parted ways with Hanzhou, coldly rejected Hua Guzi, thwarted her attempt to return to the cave dwelling together, and entered the cave dwelling alone.

Soon, Ning Jiufan visited.

Ning Zhuo led him into the cave dwelling and bowed deeply to Ning Jiufan: "Ancestor, you have finally come; I have been looking forward to this for many days!"

Ning Jiufan immediately felt a strong sense of vigilance; it was not the first time he had been plotted against by Ning Zhuo.

"What kind of crooked idea are you having again? Wait, haven't you caused some trouble?"
