Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 82 Spells
inside the house.

Chen Yungang swallowed Zhu Yucao, and the sweet taste rose in his taste buds.

Then, he smelled a faint fragrance.

"This Zhu Yucao looks like a leek, but the taste is completely different."

He was thinking secretly, but there was a feeling of "fullness" in his stomach, as if he was eighty percent full.

Just the right amount, full but not stuffy.

"It's exactly as recorded."

Chen Yun was preparing to use the method of "refining grain and turning into essence" to refine Zhu Yucao into essence.

Suddenly, he keenly felt the heat spreading to his spleen, turning into essence on its own.

"I haven't done any luck yet, so why am I producing a lot of energy?"

Chen Yun felt a little surprised.

He experienced it carefully and felt that the amount of energy born from this birth could sustain a person for one day, which was just right, no more, no less.

He remembered just now that Zhang Qian said that the amount of essence that was born after refining grains for a long time seemed to be this much, right?
How can so much essence be born without using any luck?

Chen Yun thought he felt wrong.

He got rid of distracting thoughts and began to "refining grain into essence".

After half an hour.

Chen Yun opened his eyes with a strange look on his face, "Refining grain and turning it into essence has no effect on Zhu Yucao. I'm afraid Zhang Qian mistakenly thought that the birth of essence was due to luck, but in fact it was Zhu Yucao who released it on his own initiative."

Although it is useless to refine the grain into essence, there is still a lot of essence that is born, and there is no problem in refining it into true energy.

It can indeed help with cultivation.

It's just not as effective as I thought.

At first, Chen Yun heard Zhang Qian say that he could refine Zhu Yucao to be effective, and thought he could refine one plant a day to produce the equivalent of thirty days of cultivation.

The result was that it had to be divided into thirty days to achieve the desired effect.

Of course, this is not to say that Zhu Yucao is useless. In fact, it has a great effect on itself.

"My teacher said that the human body has limited energy. If you use Qi Gathering Beads, it is best to practice once every ten days. After taking Zhu Yucao, I can practice once a day."

Chen Yun nodded thoughtfully, "The effect is indeed great."

To put it simply, it can develop stably and continuously, but it cannot be achieved quickly.

"It's not a good time to refine your energy during the day. I'll think about practicing magic."

After figuring out the effect, Chen Yun no longer cared about Zhu Yucao.

He turned to thinking about spells, "My Yin Shen is still very weak at the moment, so I can only practice the 'Art of Illusion', which is to create illusions."

According to the records in The Art of Illusion, if you want to create an illusion, you must first "divinely" visualize what the illusion you want to create looks like, and then use magic power to completely present the visualized scene.

The visualization method, also known as the inner view method, refers to storing thoughts somewhere inside or outside the body while being in a high degree of tranquility.

Some monks specialize in practicing the inner view method and eventually gain extraordinary power.

The Art of Illusion does not include cultivation, it only has methods of creating illusions.

"First of all, you must guard the entrance, and then visualize that the Yin God is the heaven and the earth, and I create the scenery in the heaven and the earth."

Chen Yun followed the art of illusion.

He got rid of all distracting thoughts in his mind, guarded the entrance, visualized the Yin spirit as the heaven and earth, and then he created a lotus in this heaven and earth.

Because he has practiced the "Transforming Yin and Returning Yang" method, this step can be said to be relatively simple for Chen Yun.

He soon visualized a budding lotus flower being born from the underworld.

"Next, use the magic power to simulate the lotus flowers on location."

Mana is a noun, which not only refers to true energy, but also all the powers that eliminate evil and subjugate evil, such as Yin Shen, Yang Shen, etc., are all collectively referred to as mana.

In other words, all extraordinary power can be called magic power.

Mana is the source of energy for casting spells.

It can be "spiritual power" or "Qi".

If I had to make a metaphor, mana is energy.

It could be electrical energy or it could be nuclear energy.

A spell is a certain application, such as electric lights, nuclear warheads, etc.

A lamp can only emit light if it is connected to electricity, and the same is true for spells.

Therefore, the power of Yin Shen can not only create illusions, hallucinations, etc.

It can also inject power into the talisman like Zhenqi, allowing the talisman to produce magical functions or even release physical spells.

It's just that each "application" has a different structure and requires different energy.

Therefore, if Chen Yun draws a talisman that requires true energy to be activated, inputting the power of Yin Shen will be useless.

He must draw a talisman that can carry the power of the Yin God in order to activate the talisman's function.

Just like an electric light cannot directly use nuclear energy, nuclear energy must be converted into electrical energy before it can emit light.

These practitioners who just follow the instructions mechanically may not understand.

As a person who has received modern physics, how could Chen Yun not know this?
"If you want to create an illusion, you can actually do it with the help of Zhen Qi. It just needs to change the spell casting structure. That is too troublesome. I will try to use Yin Shen to drive it first."

He began to try to mobilize the power of the Yin God in the physical state.

This step is a bit difficult.

Chen Yun tried several times without success.

After all, the power of Yin Shen is different from Zhen Qi.

In particular, it is undoubtedly even more difficult to release the power of the Yinshen outside the body.

Chen Yun thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

He suddenly recalled that when Qin Liang taught "Galaxy Vortex" before, wasn't he just releasing ghost energy?

He simply asked directly, "Qin Liang, how did you make the ghost energy leave you?"

Qin Liang replied naturally: "It's very simple, just like people use chopsticks to eat..."

As he said that, he seemed to have thought of something, "You are bound in the physical state. You must let the power of the Yin God pass through the entrance to be released to the outside world. If you are in the Yin God state, there are not so many restrictions. My lord, you can try it. How does the Yin God release mana, and then the Yin God returns to the physical body and releases the mana from the entrance."

After hearing this, Chen Yun felt that it made sense.

He stood up and closed the curtains, told people outside not to come in, and closed the door tightly.

Make sure not a trace of sunlight can shine into the house.

Chen Yun lit the golden sandalwood.

Yin spirit out of body.

Once the Yin God left his physical body, Chen Yun tried to "divide" a ray of Yin God's power and move forward.

Perhaps because there was no physical restraint, it was easy to succeed this time.

Chen Yun felt like he was driving his arms to pick up something.

He saw a "thread" of energy emerge from his Yinshen.

It can spread about five meters.

Any further and it's a bit too much.

"That's how it feels."

Chen Yun roughly figured it out.

In order to get familiar with it, he tried it several times in the out-of-body state.

At the end, the Yin spirit returns to the body.

Chen Yun Yushen released his magic power.

The power of Yin Shen easily reached the outside world through the entrance.

It's just consumed through the entrance hall.

This mana only spread out for two or three meters before it reached its limit.

However, what surprised Chen Yun was that at this moment, he clearly had his eyes closed, but because of the spreading divine power, he could "see" the surrounding environment within two or three meters.

"Oh, this is divine consciousness."

Chen Yun suddenly realized.

Now that his spiritual consciousness could leave the body, he began to try to simulate the lotus he was visualizing with his spiritual consciousness.

Divine consciousness continued to surge out of the Yinshen, gradually converging into the shape of the lotus in Chen Yun's mind.

Consume a lot.

In just a short while, Chen Yun felt tired after doing mental work for a whole day.

Although mentally exhausted, Chen Yun was particularly excited.

Because after he opened his eyes, he could clearly see a "real" lotus floating two or three meters away from him!

He knew it was a visual deception and that the lotus was not actually there.

"Success! I finally succeeded in casting the art of illusion!"

Chen Yun was extremely excited.

Although the Art of Illusion was not the first spell I learned, and the first spell I learned was Qi Observation, the Art of Illusion was the first spell I learned that could defeat the enemy.

Visualize that the lotus flower is invincible.

But when you are fighting with someone, what if you suddenly visualize a grimace?

Others will definitely be startled suddenly and then be attacked by you.

Chen Yun put away the power of Yin Shen and was very satisfied with the skill he had mastered. "I'm not very proficient at it yet. I still need to practice more. In addition, the consumption of spiritual consciousness is a bit high. For the time being, this spell can only be used as a strange move to reverse the situation of the battle." .”

It would be better if it consumes less.

Or, the power of Yin Shen can be as powerful as Zhen Qi...

Eh!
Chen Yun blinked, "Spiritual consciousness is a type of power, and true energy is also a type of power. If I change the casting structure, can I use true energy to achieve the same effect as spiritual consciousness?"

There are gasoline cars and electric cars for cars. Gasoline can make cars run, but electric energy can't do the same?
The biggest difference between oil trucks and electric cars is the engine.

For example, oil trucks use a fuel engine and gearbox to enable the car to drive.Electric vehicles do not have a gearbox and use an electric motor.

But whether it is a fuel engine or an electric motor, their ultimate goal is to generate power to make the car run.

Chen Yun is now an eighth-level mage. In terms of energy "quantity", his true energy is far better than the power of the Yin God.

He even has more true energy than Qin Liang, who has not taken the initiative to cultivate and become Li Gui Er for 30 years.

"If true energy works, I may not only be able to use the Art of Illusion, but I may also be able to use the Art of Dreaming."

He began to carefully study the spellcasting structure of the Art of Illusion.

In fact, the spellcasting structure of the Art of Illusion is very simple. It is nothing more than visualizing a certain scene with God, and then simulating it in the outside world with God's consciousness.

The situation is similar with the dream-entrance technique. It requires first using the art of illusion to visualize an illusion, and then invading spiritual consciousness into other people's souls, and then completely presenting the illusion.

There is a flaw in this spell.

Once someone else's Yin Shen is far more powerful than oneself and has defenses, it can be easily cracked.

If the opponent is unprepared, as long as the Yin Shen's power is not too much stronger than his own, he may still be attacked.

"The power of Yin Shen can be directly expressed with spiritual consciousness, but Zhenqi cannot. It needs to be controlled by God before it can be expressed."

Chen Yun thought about it for a while and probably knew what to do.

He first visualized the lotus in the same way, and then used his spirit to control the true energy, hoping to guide the true energy out of the body and simulate the appearance of a lotus.

Only this time he was in trouble.

Perhaps true energy and spiritual consciousness are two completely different powers.

There was no way he could release his true energy outside his body and keep it there.

It's not that it can't be released outside the body.

Instead, as soon as the true energy is guided out of the body and without its carrying object, it instantly melts into the air.

"The talisman works because it has red ink and yellow paper as a carrier, and is then converted into another type of energy by the talisman and released. The true energy will dissolve when it leaves the body, and there is no way to transform it into an illusion."

Chen Yun felt that he had overlooked something.

He pondered carefully for a while, and gradually got a clue.

"Since the true energy will dissolve when it leaves the body and cannot be turned into an illusion, can I present the illusion before the true energy leaves the body?"

Thinking about it, Chen Yun used his spirit to control Qi and gathered his true Qi in his palm, but it did not leave his physical body.

When he felt the true Qi spread across his palm, he continued to use his spirit to control the Qi, letting the true Qi simulate the appearance of a lotus.

True Qi is constantly condensed and formed.

Because true energy is different from spiritual consciousness, Chen Yungang wasted a lot of true energy at first and failed to form a lotus. He just "transformed" into a strange "flower" with no idea of ​​what it was.

However, as the attempts continued, Chen Yun became more and more able to control Zhen Qi.

After more than a dozen attempts, he was gradually able to make Zhen Qi simulate the shape of a lotus, but the color was wrong.

Undeterred, he kept trying.

once.

three times.

Five times.

Tried twelve or three more times.

Finally, Chen Yun took complete control, and a lotus flower appeared in his palm!
"True Qi is indeed much more powerful than divine consciousness. I tried twenty or thirty times without feeling any exertion. My divine consciousness became exhausted after just one attempt. If I use true energy to transform the illusion, I should be able to use it hundreds of times before I can use it. All the Qi is consumed.”

Making a flame talisman will consume all of one's true energy, while creating an illusion only consumes about [-]% of one's true energy.

The reason for this may be that the talisman will appear in a "physical" energy state. For example, the flame talisman will release flames and produce incredible magical power.

Creating an illusion is illusory, and the things it presents are not entities, so it naturally consumes very little.

Chen Yun stared at the lotus and pondered, "But there is a flaw in using true energy to transform the illusion. It cannot be presented from a distance like divine consciousness. It can only appear in the palm of my hand."

This may be related to the fact that the true energy will instantly dissolve in the air after leaving the body.

Spiritual consciousness will not dissolve after leaving the body.

"I'll try to see if I can implant illusions into other people's souls. If I can, then I can use the dream spell as long as my hands or body can touch the enemy."

Chen Yun stood up and walked outside.

Opening the door, he was about to call out to Zhang Qian who was squatting at the door chatting with Gao Liang.

Unexpectedly, Gao Liang's wife came up to him and said, "Sir, the soup is ready. Do you want to eat it now?"

To be honest, Chen Yun was not hungry at all after eating Zhu Yucao.

But wolf stomach and tiger meat are treasures, and it would be a waste not to eat them.

He hummed and said, "Then please help me fill a bowl."

As he spoke, he thought of something and turned to Zhang Qian and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, let's have something to eat together?"

Zhang Qian waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Don't eat, don't eat. I swallowed Zhu Yucao and my stomach is very full."

Got it!
Then just eat it yourself.

After Gao Liang's wife filled the bowl of soup, Chen Yun did not eat it immediately, but put it on the stove to wait for it to cool down.

He blinked and walked up to Zhang Qian with evil intentions, "Senior Brother Zhang, can you do me a favor?"

Zhang Qian said casually: "Okay."

Gao Liang also took advantage of the situation and said hello: "Immortal."

Chen Yun nodded towards Gao Liang, and then said to Zhang Qian: "I may inject true energy into your body later, so don't resist then."

If the true energy is properly controlled and injected into the body, it will not cause harm to others.

Of course, a large amount of true energy will still damage the body's functions.

Chen Yun tried to see if he could use the dreaming technique, which would definitely not hurt Zhang Qian.

Although he didn't understand what he was going to do, Zhang Qian still smiled and said: "I haven't even cultivated true energy, how can I resist?"

Chen Yun thought so, explained the situation a little, and then put his palm on Zhang Qian's top door.

Injecting a small amount of true energy, it gradually came to Zhang Qian's Niwan Palace.

True Qi will quickly melt away without a carrier when it leaves the body, but Zhang Qian's body can also be used as a carrier.

Naturally, the true energy injected by Chen Yun will not dissolve due to this.

The Niwan Palace is the most important place in the human body. It can capture all the gods and illuminate the spiritual consciousness.

It is said that there lives the "Ako God" who controls the human body.

Once the Child God is suppressed, the body will have no owner to control.

To put it simply, if the Niwan Palace is destroyed, you will be "brain dead".

Precisely because the Chizi God resides in the Niwan Palace, as long as the illusion transformed by Zhenqi is presented here, it will cause people to hallucinate, because the "Chizi God" directly sees the "illusion".

Like dreaming, it is a mental deception.

The next moment, Chen Yun let this true energy appear as a lotus in Zhang Qian's mind.

At the same time, Zhang Qian's eyes became dull.

After all, Niwan Palace's human body is very heavy. Seeing Zhang Qian's appearance, Chen Yun did not dare to continue trying.

He quickly withdrew his true energy.

Immediately, Zhang Qian regained consciousness, with surprise in his eyes.

Chen Yun first asked with concern: "Senior Brother Zhang, are you okay?"

Gao Liang also kept staring.

Zhang Qian was a little confused and said: "I'm fine, but I saw a lotus in front of me just now, and now it's gone."

Gao Liang laughed dumbly and said: "I have been squatting here and I haven't seen any lotus flowers. Am I wrong?"

I read it wrong?
Of course Zhang Qian got it right!
Because it was his true energy that invaded Zhang Qian’s Niwan Palace and created the illusion of lotus flowers!

Sure enough!

It really works!

Chen Yun was extremely excited.

In this way, I will have an extra trump card against others in the future.

As long as you can touch others with your hands, you can create an illusion!
The only thing he regretted was that Zhen Qi's use of the dream-entering technique was not as convenient as the spell cast by divine consciousness.

After all, spiritual consciousness can cast spells from a distance, while true energy can only be used close to the body.

Afterwards, Chen Yun, Gao Liang and Zhang Qian explained the situation.

Only then did the two realize that Zhang Qian's sight of lotus flowers just now was not an illusion, but Chen Yun was casting a spell.

Gao Liang had long thought that immortals were omnipotent, so he was not surprised at all.

Zhang Qian is different. He came from the Taoist Temple and of course he knows what it means to cast spells without the help of talismans. It means that the magic power is profound to a certain extent!

He looked at Chen Yun with even more admiration.

Senior Brother Chen, who entered the Taoist Temple more than four years later than him, is now in a state of cultivation that even he can't even compare to.

While they were chatting here, Gao Liang's wife suddenly said: "Immortal, the soup is warm, do you want to drink it?"

Although Chen Yun didn't really want to eat it, he really didn't want to waste the treasure, so he turned around and said, "Well, eat it."

He stepped forward, picked up the soup bowl, and ate it all in one go.

Chen Yun didn't feel anything wrong just after eating.

However, after a while, he suddenly felt that the digestion speed of his "stomach" suddenly accelerated.

The Zhu Yucao that had just been swallowed and could not be refined using the grain refining method was quickly digested and then transformed into essence by the spleen!

A large amount of essence spurted out!

Just for a moment, Chen Yun felt uncomfortable.

Huh?
It turns out that the wolf stomach has super stomach-building and digestion functions. It can even digest Zhu Yucao instantly?
He finally knew why the wolf demon wanted to eat Zhu Yucao after being injured.

It turns out that the wolf's stomach can quickly digest Yucao and give birth to a steady stream of energy.

If such a huge amount of energy is transformed into demonic power by the wolf demon, wouldn't it be possible to quickly heal injuries?
Chen Yundun was extremely happy. There was so much energy bursting out, and he was refining it with the help of Qi Gathering Pearls. If he could refine it all into true Qi, would one day not be worth a month?
