This acupoint, compared to Zigong, is even larger. “As large as Car Hood” is the origin of its name. It’s not difficult for mana to rush into it, but to pass through it, it needs to be first filled with mana.
When it overflows, mana can naturally pass through and reach the Xuanji acupoint.
However, although Shen Luo has perfected the first level of the Nameless Cultivation Technique, the amount of mana stored in his body is very limited, so he can only temporarily stop attempting to break through, and continues to circulate the first level technique to refill his Dantian.
Only after a full four hours did he finally accumulate enough mana to break through Huagai acupoint after another strenuous attempt.
Shen Luo put away his magic spell, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and temporarily stopped his cultivation practice to avoid mental exhaustion. Moderation is the best policy.
With the help of the experiences in his dreamland, he was already extraordinary in being able to pass through two acupoints in a day.
Compared with his original speed, he has naturally sped up a lot, even surpassing most ordinary people, and it might take less than a year, or perhaps less than two years, to perfect the second level technique.
However, compared with his cultivation speed in the dreamland, which was nearly a day’s march, there is a world of difference.
“My cultivation aptitude in the Dreamland seems far superior to reality… I wonder why?” Shen Luo felt a bit lost, and also puzzled.
After taking a break for a moment, he closed his eyes again and started to operate the Nameless Cultivation Technique silently, while adjusting his breathing and Tuna, with his hands forming a magic spell.But this time, he was not continuing his cultivation but was operating the Technique of taming beasts and summoning spirits instead.
In the dreamland, he was already able to establish communication with the shrimp soldier “Zhui Tou”, so naturally he wanted to try again to see if he could still succeed.
Before long, strands of water spirit Qi gathered around Shen Luo’s body, and his thoughts gradually became vacant. The vision before his slightly closed eyes gradually turned pitch black. Small and large blue light spots started to shimmer in the void.
After a slight hesitation, Shen Luo didn’t go looking for the biggest blue light spot, but instead tried to lead his Divine Sense to a smaller light spot closest to him.
The difficulty of contract signing with “Zhui Tou” in the dreamland was still fresh in his memory.
With his current aptitude and mana, he certainly couldn’t compare to his dream self. Therefore, he cautiously tried to communicate with weaker aquatic clan demons, which seemed more reliable.
As soon as his divine thought descended, it flowed smoothly into the light without any hindrance.
Immediately after, his vision blurred, and he once again entered a blue space. It was as if there were water waves surging around him, shimmering with sparkling light.
Shen Luo quickly discovered that the blue space this time was clearly much smaller than that in the dreamland, indicating that the connected water area was not the same as the previous one. Also, the creature’s aura he could feel in this space was pitifully weak.
Among these auras, the strongest one seemed to only possess the strength of the early stage Qi refining.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Luo began to operate the Art of Spirit Communication and projected his divine sense power.
His current cultivation level is already around the third and fourth levels of Qi Refining. He calculated that if the demon emitting the aura was unwilling to sign a contract with him, he would forcibly summon it with the Beast Taming Technique.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his Divine Sense projected, it connected with the other side, and the other party didn’t show any intention of resistance.
Shen Luo immediately began to use his divine sense mixed with mana to form a Spirit Mark and transmitted it. It quickly integrated into the body of the demon, and he established a subtle communication with it via his mind.
Afterward, he quickly exited the blue space, his eyes slowly opened.
Next, he pressed his hand into the shallow pond, silently chanting spells. He quickly started a vortex of water, spinning in the palm of his hand, within the stream of the pond.
“Rise!”
Shen Luo shouted lowly, and the vortex in the palm of his hand ascended promptly, suspended in mid-air, reached the size of a millstone, within which emerged a spinning blackwater tunnel.
Shen Luo watched the water tunnel intently, with a hint of expectation in his mind, not knowing what kind of demon would be summoned through spirit communication?
However, after waiting for half an incense stick worth of time, just when Shen Luo thought that there was a problem with the spirit summoning technique, a huge head, slightly pointed at the front and flat at the back, leisurely extended from the water tunnel, followed by a long neck, that had irregularly distributed leather patches.
“Is this… a water python?” Shen Luo frowned, saying with a hint of doubt.
But looking at its slow movement, it did not resemble the swift water python at all.
Before Shen Luo could understand, he saw a green-black turtle fin, slowly protruding from the water tunnel.
Then, the hard shell attached to its long, protruding head had also appeared, it was unmistakably a big sea turtle.
Shen Luo’s heart, which was filled with expectation just a moment ago, grew extremely cold. Judging by its slowly crawling speed, if they encountered danger, he wouldn’t be able to summon it before meeting his own death.
“Come out quickly…” The moment this thought crossed Shen Luo’s mind, subconsciously, he wanted to hurry the big turtle.
Who would have thought that the turtle seemed to have understood him, its fins suddenly powered forward, its body suddenly sprung forward, leaping into the air and smashing down towards the water surface.
Shen Luo saw this and leaped back instantly, stepping on the water surface and retreating a dozen or so steps to avoid it.
The big sea turtle splashed into the water with a “plop.” Because the pond was not deep, only one-third of its body was submerged in water. Its four fins were flapping up and down like a boat’s oars, but the body was unable to move forward at all, creating a particularly comical sight.
Shen Luo walked forward somewhat helplessly, circled around the sea turtle, and noticed that its body was about five feet long. The back of the turtle was protruding like a car hood, with hexagonal patterns on each plate, and the surface was covered with a layer of slippery green moss.
“Do you have a name?” Shen Luo asked, standing in front of the turtle.
In response, the turtle merely stretched out its long neck, sniffing around Shen Luo, looking him up and down without uttering a word.
Its eyes were large and round, shining with an amber gloss. Along with the two upward-facing nostrils and a giant triangle-shaped mouth, it exuded a sense of innocent and cute charm…
“Can’t speak? And seems not too intelligent.” Shen Luo said with a bitter face.
In the Dreamland, he had to sweet talk and risk his life to win over an early stage Grain Avoidance water demon shrimp. But back in reality, why could he only summon a dumb, adorable big sea turtle?
The difference was so vast that it was impossible for Shen Luo to not feel disappointed.
Having glanced at Shen Luo once, the turtle seemed dissatisfied. It slowly retracted its head, the four fins sank to the bottom of the water, supported its massive body to rise again for a bit. Turning its head, it slowly crawled towards the shore.
“This… it can’t be that it has no spiritual wisdom, right?” Seeing this, Shen Luo was slightly taken aback.
