Chapter 17 The Blue Sea and the Morning Calm (III)

  Falling like a chicken, Miao Yi climbed out of the water and tripped back to Old White, a little discouraged, "The impact of the current can still be withstood, it's the time of the continuous strikes that is difficult to endure."   "One month!" Old White turned away and walked across the mountains and rocks, saying as he walked, "If your mana can hold out under the waterfall for a month, then your foundation is stable, I'll wait for your good news."   "Well ......"   The dripping wet Miao Yi looks back to the flying waterfall and somewhat understands, the feelings that the waterfall that he has gone through so much effort to make is used to torture himself.   Of course, also therefore understand the old white never let himself do useless things, let himself do things are bound to have a reason, are for their own good, he naturally try to implement.   The tide rises and falls, spring, summer, autumn and winter, day after day to face the sun to pick the real fire, day after day will be physically and mentally into the world to absorb the spiritual qi, this cultivation is a full two years.   Two years later, sitting under the waterfall dripping wet Miao Yi, casting spells hard against the waterfall unceasing blows for half a month.   Just when he was about to be unable to withstand it, the mana that had not been able to merge under the pressure, instantly came to a head and performed a great circumference.   "With a bang, an invisible force erupts from Miao Yi's body, causing water to splash in all directions.   Only to see that with himself as the center, a wave of invisible force spreads, forming a transparent balloon that wraps him in it, and the white lotus bud on the spiritual platform in the center of his brow quietly blossoms a petal.   Finally stabilizing his foundation, stepping into the realm of White Lotus First Grade, stepping into the realm of having a cultivation grade.   The corner of Miao Yi's mouth hooked up with a touch of joy, but then quickly converged and continued to concentrate on resisting the impact of the flying waterfall.   It was because Old White had said that it would take a month of perseverance to be considered a success.   With the protection of the Mana Muddy Circle, the flying waterfalls could not directly impact the physical body, and Miao Yi carried on for five more days.   But ultimately, the previous mana consumption is too great, and only resisted for five more days, round as a ball of mana shield in the flying waterfall day and night under the incessant blows a shake, and finally collapsed.   The rapids once again rushed Miao Yi, who had consumed a great deal of both mana and physical strength, into the pool of water.   After another month, mana and physical strength to recover to the best Miao Yi once again came to the waterfall, mana round body protection, flash into the bottom of the waterfall, quietly sitting cross-legged, a transparent sphere will be shrouded, the whole person dripping water does not touch.   A month expired, waterfall rapids under the transparent ball inside the Miao Yi opened his eyes, saw the old white outside, then flew out, convergence of mana landed on the shore, is still dripping water.   "You said one month, I did it!" Miao Yi informed Old White of the happy news, but was full of bitter smiles, "We've been here for almost four years, right? My cultivation has only crossed into the White Lotus First Grade after four years of bitter cultivation, isn't that a bit too slow?"   "Continue!" Old White lightly swept him a glance without saying much and turned around.   Old White never said much until it was time.   Miao Yi shook his head, turned around and walked towards the top of the mountain, and could only continue his cultivation.   Without comparison, he himself might not know that his cultivation of crossing into the White Lotus First Grade in just four years was already not slow.   Not everyone can run into a mentor like Old Bai, no matter what doubts Miao Yi encounters in his cultivation, Old Bai is able to get his hands on them, solving the puzzles for Miao Yi in depth, allowing him to quickly comprehend the axioms and progress by leaps and bounds.   The cultivation methods that Old Bai arranges for Miao Yi, based on Miao Yi's cultivation progress, are also extremely delicate.   Whether it was the exercise to strengthen his body or the excavation of the mountain and digging of rocks to create the waterfall, it had actually been allowing Miao Yi to cultivate both internally and externally, maintaining an excellent physical and mental state, which undoubtedly maintained Miao Yi's good state of cultivation.   Even allowing Miao Yi to receive impacts under the waterfall was also a refining of Miao Yi's body and willpower, and at the same time, it was also stimulating the endurance and pressure-bearing ability of the mana that Miao Yi had cultivated, this was a kind of repeated refining, which would be of great benefit to him in the future when he faced strong enemies.   Without the aid of pills and other external forces, four years from an ordinary person into the White Lotus first grade cultivation is already considered to be God's speed, need to know that it takes more than ten years or even decades or gray hair to cross into this realm of the cultivator is a large number of people.   After a year of bitter cultivation, Miao Yi once again finds Old Bai to solve the problem, "Old Bai, since I crossed into the White Lotus first grade cultivation, why do I feel that the speed of absorbing heaven and earth spiritual qi is getting slower and slower?"   Old White replied back, "It's not that the speed of your absorption has slowed down, it's that your capacity has increased, as your cultivation rises, the speed of grade advancement will become slower and slower, even lengthy, and will require enough patience."   Miao Yi asked, "Then how much time will it take for me to cross over from White Lotus First Grade to Second Grade?"   Old White glanced at him and casually replied, "Twenty years should be about right."   "Ah! Twenty years?" Miao Yi froze and came back to his senses, asking, "Is there a fast method?"   "There is!"   "What method?"   "Human wishes are very magical things, one person's wish may be very small, but when the wishes of many, many people are gathered together, a magical power is created. In order to improve the absorption effect of heaven and earth's aura, people in cultivation collect this power for their own use, using the wishes of many, many people to summon heaven and earth's aura to be concentrated and efficiently absorbed, in order to rapidly improve their cultivation." Old White asked rhetorically, "I don't think you're unfamiliar with this situation, right?"   Miao Yi tried to ask, "Are you talking about wish power?"   Old White nodded his head.   Miao Yi's mind flashed to the shrine placed in his house, to the shrines placed in every household, how could he be unfamiliar with that situation where he had to take out three hours every day to face the shrine and pray to contribute his wish power? How could he forget the situation where three siblings were almost sent to the "House of Compassion" to contribute their wishes day and night?   In the past, he still did not understand why those "Immortals" had to do this, why they had to let everyone contribute their wish power, but now he finally understood!   Miao Yi was very curious about how magical that kind of wish power was and couldn't help but ask, "How much can the speed of cultivation be increased with wish power?"   "That depends on whether or not one is able to get sufficient support from the wish power, and the efficiency of utilizing the wish power."   "Could there be any difference in utilization?"   "You have to know that there are thousands of different kinds of people, and the wishing power gathered contains the seven emotions and six desires of various people's distractions, so when using wishing power you have to exclude those distractions in order to utilize the pure wishing power for your own purposes. Otherwise the backlash of the seven emotions and six desires will produce a heart demon, those with high cultivation talent can easily resist the influence of the heart demon, and those with low cultivation talent, if they are not careful, they are likely to be backlashed by the heart demon and go off the deep end, and if it is light, it is difficult to be inhuman and not a ghost, and if it is heavy, it is a road to death."   "So terrible, why do those cultivators still use it?"   Miao Yi is now also considered to be a cultivator, only to realize that calling cultivators "Immortals" in the past was a bit ridiculous, and now naturally, he will not call them Immortals anymore.   "So there is the problem of utilizing wish power with high or low efficiency, be careful and take your time, as long as you don't rush things, under normal circumstances there shouldn't be much of a problem."   "Then just how much can the speed of cultivation be increased?"   "Normally no surprises, at least five times the speed can be increased."   "Five times?" Miao Yi was shocked and said, "In that case, if it takes twenty years for my cultivation to advance to the White Lotus Second Grade, once there is wish power available, wouldn't it only take four years?"   Old White blandly said, "Even faster!"   There was a vague feeling that he had the flavor of luring Miao Yi in a gradual manner.   At least five times shorter cultivation time ah!   Miao Yi's heart itches to hear this, and he is somewhat unable to hold back, scratching his head and ears, and after a few trips back and forth, he wants to say something, "Old White, it is not a solution for me to continue to stay on this island and slowly cultivate."   Old White "Oh", "You want to go out and collect wish power to cultivate?"   Miao Yi nodded, "Yes."   "If you want to go, I won't stop you." Old White walked to the entrance of the cave and turned back with a sudden deep and sharp gaze, "Are you ready to grab the world's wish power?"
