Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 15 Beginner Spells
at dusk.

A tallow candle was lit.

Candlelight illuminated the room, and Lu Zhong took out a spell book he had just bought.

This book has only been simply bound, but it only has about ten pages, but it cost him five spirit stones.

There are three big characters written on the cover.

"Air Hope"

The Qi Watching technique is definitely one of the spells that monks must learn. Its effect is to help monks see the flow of spiritual energy clearly. Not only can it be used to find spiritual objects and spiritual places rich in spiritual energy, but it can also be used to judge the opponent's cultivation level .

Especially the latter, when used on monks who have not learned the breath-holding spell, it can be said that it is almost a certainty.

It is said that some of the improved Qi Wang secret techniques will also have miraculous effects such as finding dragons and sharing gold.

However, these qi-watching secrets are obviously not something he can afford, and what he has in his hands now is just ordinary qi-watching skills.

But even if it is a street stall, the first page you see after opening the cover is also the warning words of the Shufa Pavilion.

The content of the warning is roughly that without the permission of the Magic Pavilion, the purchased spells can only be learned by oneself. If they are spread for profit, they will be severely punished by the monks of the Magic Pavilion. .

Lu Zhong is now alone, ignoring these warnings.

And he also suspected that it was unlikely that the Shufa Pavilion would really punish all those who violated the warnings as stated in the warning. It was probably the same old way of killing a chicken for monkeys to see from time to time.

Turn to the first page of the main text, at the beginning it says the spell level of the qi-watching technique.

Like Talismans, the division of spell levels also adopts the grade system.

Just like this qi-watching technique, it is a low-level spell that can be practiced in the early stage of qi refining.

Lu Zhong looked at the contents of the spell book, and found that Shi Wangwang Qi only needs to read three mantras, and the operation of spiritual power is relatively simple. At the beginning, you can also match seven handprints, which can reduce the difficulty of casting spells.

After a little practice for a while, I can imitate it well.

It's just that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't use the Qi Wang Technique.

"It seems that I'm not a magic genius..." Lu Zhong sighed, and took out another conch the size of a finger.

The conch is a gift when you buy a spell book, and it is a cheap thing to leave a sound.

Input a bit of spiritual power into it, and suddenly there is a voice in the conch shell, which happens to be the three mantras that need to be recited for performing the Zhanwang Qi Technique, and the words are very standard.

Mantras are powerful and can communicate with heaven and earth, so they are necessary for casting spells.

Lu Zhong didn't remember it all at once. After all, the incantations were difficult to pronounce and changeable. They were like winding mountain roads, and they couldn't be memorized at one time.

But he didn't expect that the voice from the conch had changed drastically this time, and there was an obvious out of tune.

Obviously, conch shells are only one-time consumables, so it's no wonder that the Shufa Pavilion will give them away for free.

Lu Zhong tried to imitate, but became Dong Shi who imitated Xi Shi.

"Could it be that learning spells also involves basic skills?"

He frowned, and couldn't help but think that the life of casual cultivators is too difficult, right?

When I set up a stall before, I often heard people say that magic is very difficult to learn, and it usually takes several months and a half to start.

Unexpectedly, it is so difficult to learn even the low-level Qi Wang technique by oneself.

Before casual cultivators have undergone systematic learning and training like Zongmen monks, it is extremely difficult to learn a spell. Basically, they can only rely on their own continuous exploration to gain experience from repeated failures.

"Fortunately, I still have room for gray fog!"

As soon as Lu Zhong closed his eyes, he immediately entered the gray fog space.

With a thought in his mind, he brought up the memory just now, and the standard incantation with three words sounded immediately.

Not long after, he had to end memory retrieval due to excessive consumption of spiritual consciousness.

Back outside, a flash of anticipation flashed in Lu Zhong's eyes.

The spiritual power in the body was mobilized along the meridians, and the effect of the spell-casting gesture was manifested at this time, making the process of mobilizing the spiritual power easier. At the same time, he also uttered three spells.

The sound falls, the technique succeeds!
The scene before Lu Zhong's eyes suddenly changed, becoming black and white.

Ordinary objects without aura will appear in different shades of gray, while items containing aura, such as blank talisman paper and spiritual rice, will emit light of different colors according to their attributes.

Just like Qinghe Lingmi, it contains the aura of plants and trees.

Therefore, in the field of vision of the qi-watching technique, the Qinghe Lingmi will continuously flash with a light blue light.

At this moment, Lu Zhong noticed an obvious white light overflowing from under the stove, where he hid his storage bag.

I thought I hid the storage bag very well, but now I can see everything in the sight of the qi-watching technique.

"Huh, it's good to find out in advance, otherwise it will be a big trouble!"

Lu Zhong hurriedly took out the storage bag again, and found another place to hide it.

Now even if someone casts the Foresight Qi Technique inside or outside the house, they will not be able to see where the storage bag is hidden.

After doing this, he canceled the effect of the spell, and the objects he saw suddenly had color again.

Trying to cast Wangwang Qi again, Lu Zhong failed to cast the spell this time.

He recalled carefully, and found that he had accidentally raised his voice slightly when he was chanting the third incantation.

But he never thought that just such a small change would cause him to fail in casting spells.

It's no wonder that casual cultivators seldom use spells.

Skills such as spells are of great use if you learn them well.

Whether it is used in combat or exploration, it can have a very good effect. If it is well matched, the strength of the caster can be multiplied.

But the premise is to be able to learn well.

Otherwise, there will be all kinds of strange reasons for failure waiting for you.

The mantra is not read correctly, fail!

If the handprint is wrong, fail!

If the spiritual power runs in the wrong direction, it still fails!

Maybe even a sneeze can cause the spell to fail.

Casting spells is an extremely precise process, and there is no room for error.

Especially in a life-and-death struggle, in that highly tense scene, who can guarantee that they will not make mistakes?

If you make a mistake at a critical moment, the price is your own life.

Therefore, casual cultivators prefer to use magic tools or talismans instead of spells with uncertain risks when fighting skills.

On the contrary, monks from sects or families, because of their solid basic skills, have the ability to maintain a high success rate of casting spells, so they are more willing to cast spells in fighting skills.

This is because during the Qi refining period, the power of spells is relatively the highest, followed by driving various magic tools to attack. The average power is lower than that of spells. The advantage is that it is stable and sustainable. Energy is the bottom line.

Originally, Lu Zhong wanted to be the same as other casual cultivators, and in the future, he would use magic weapons and talismans as the main weapons.

Fortunately, he has a gray fog space where he can play back memories infinitely.

It only needs a lot of practice and verification, and you can still do a good job of casting spells, thus achieving a very high success rate of casting spells.
