Mo Hua thought to himself, I deliberately made the title of the book so large that it can be seen from several feet away. What else do you want to ask about the book? Can this pretentious look be any more fake?
“No, I’ll just take a look.” Mo Hua said.
The more Mo Hua refused to agree, the more Zhang Lan felt itchy. He took a closer look, and then pretended to see the title of the book and said: “”Qi Refining Spells Collection” is not bad. Want to learn spells? Have you reached the fifth level of Qi Refining?”
“We just arrived on the fifth floor. Let me take a look first. There’s no rush.” Mo Hua pretended to be calm.
“How’s it going? Do you want me to teach you?” Zhang Lan raised his eyebrows.
“Uncle Zhang, are you a spiritual practitioner?”
“Well, that’s right.”
“What do you mean… half-baked?” Mo Hua said.
Zhang Lan’s face darkened, “What are you half-hearted about? Where did you learn these messy words at such a young age?”
“I think your blood is not weak, but your spiritual power is not strong. Did I not see it?” Mo Hua asked.
Zhang Lan said proudly: “I used magic to cover up my aura. Of course you can’t see it. If you can also see it, wouldn’t all my cultivation be in vain?”
“Oh, do you think you are cultivating both spirit and body?” Mo Hua asked curiously.
“It’s not that easy to cultivate both spirit and body. I just trained my physical body a little to avoid being approached by physical cultivators when fighting with others. My major is still spells. A monk who cultivates both spirit and body needs both unique qualifications and With the inheritance of a famous family and a rich family, you may not meet one in your life,” Zhang Lan sighed.
Mo Hua is astonishing. He needs talent, inheritance, and family background. None of these three conditions are as great as a barrier to Mo Hua. Even if he is reincarnated ten thousand times, he may not be able to succeed even once.
“Uncle Zhang, are you good at magic?”
Zhang Lan said proudly: “It’s okay, just so-so.”
“That just doesn’t work.”
Zhang Lan was so angry that he knocked Mo Hua on the head, “Do you understand that I am being humble? I am being humble!”
Mo Hua rubbed his little head and asked, “Which one is more powerful, you or Aunt Xue?”
“Is this it?” Zhang Lan hesitated, “I have never sparred with each other, how do I know?”
“Then do you know how to perform illusions?”
“of course not.”
Mo Hua said: “Aunt Xue knows magic, but you don’t, so you are definitely not as good as Aunt Xue! I’ll ask Aunt Xue when I have time to see what kind of magic is best to learn.”
Zhang Lan was dissatisfied and said: “I just don’t know how to use illusions. Other spells are not weaker than hers.”
“Really?” Mo Hua looked at Zhang Lan suspiciously.
“Qi refining period spell, you can ask me any questions you have.”
“Okay, then if I want to learn magic now, which one should I learn?”
“Is there anything you want to learn?” Zhang Lan asked.
Mo Hua handed the “Collection of Qi Refining Spells” to Zhang Lan, “I picked a few spells, you can see which one is best to learn first.”
Zhang Lan took the book and flipped through it a few times. He saw several spells on it and circled them with a pen.
Fireball, water arrow, gold blade, earth and stone…
They can all be learned in the middle stage of Qi refining. The spells are not difficult and the spiritual power required to cast them is not too much.
Zhang Lan nodded and started learning basic spells. It was not good to aim too high, but Mo Hua had a pretty good eye.
Many monks just want to learn spells that are high-level, powerful, or rare. Little did they know that a higher level required more spiritual power, greater power, and longer casting time. The rarer the spell, the more demanding the conditions for learning it were.
Not to mention whether you can learn it or not, even if you learn it, a single spell will consume more than half of your body’s spiritual energy. Once you fail to hit someone, you can basically just sit back and wait for death.
Zhang Lan stared at the ink paintings for a while, and suddenly realized a question, “Are the spells you picked all attack-type spells?”
Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, “If you don’t learn attack spells, then what are you going to learn?”
“That’s right,” Mo Hua suddenly realized, “You have to save your life first. If you can’t save your life, who else can you attack?”
Qian Xing’s incident also made him understand that monks must have means to save their lives. Otherwise, if they are suddenly in danger and have no ability to protect themselves, they will fall into a passive deadlock.
“What are the life-saving spells, golden bell shield?” Mo Hua asked humbly.
“The golden bell is not bad, but it won’t be of much use to you.”
“Why?” Mo Hua didn’t understand.
Zhang Lan looked at Mo Hua with a slightly disgusted look, “Don’t you realize that your spiritual power is actually not strong?”
“That’s because my cultivation level is low.” Mo Hua argued with reason.
“Part of it is because of your low cultivation level, but the quality of your spiritual roots is mediocre. If I’m not wrong, the exercises you learned don’t add much to spiritual power, so the spiritual power in your Qi Sea will definitely be higher than Those in the same realm are weaker.”
Although Mo Hua didn’t want to admit it, it seemed that this was indeed true.
Zhang Lan looked at the ink painting and thought to himself that your spiritual talent is just average. If your spiritual talent is as good as formation talent, how can you pay it off in the future?
Sure enough, the way of heaven is relatively fair.
Zhang Lan continued to explain: “If your spiritual power is weak, even if you cast defensive spells such as the Golden Bell, it won’t last long. When your spiritual power is exhausted, you will still have to sit back and wait for death.”
“Furthermore, the Golden Bell must predict the danger in advance and activate the spiritual power in advance. Once it is attacked by a sneak attack and has no time to cast, it will be the same as not having learned the spell.”
Mo Hua was worried, “Then what should I learn?”
You must be worried sometimes, so you don’t want to ask me! Zhang Lan felt secretly proud for a while.
All problems during the Qi refining period are minor problems…as long as they don’t involve formations.
Zhang Lan put on airs for a while and then said to Mo Hua: “You can learn the body technique.”
“Shenfa?”
“If you learn defensive spells like the Golden Bell Shield, you can only withstand attacks…” Zhang Lan glanced at Mo Hua, “But your physical body and spiritual power can’t withstand it.”
Mo Hua nodded with deep understanding.
“So, if you learn body skills, you can advance and attack, retreat and hide. If you can’t, you can still run.” Zhang Lan said.
“Wouldn’t there be any disadvantages?”
“There are definitely disadvantages. If you use defensive spells, you can at least get hit a few times before your spiritual power is exhausted. But if you use body skills to avoid it, you will either have clever footwork and escape unscathed. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be hit. If a person catches a flaw, he or she will basically be in danger.”
“That’s the same as being attacked by someone else without any defense, right?”
“good.”
Mo Hua hesitated for a moment and said: “Defense-type spells, once the spiritual power is exhausted, will be at the mercy of others. Once someone catches a flaw in the movement-type spells, they are also like fish on the sword. But the movement method can be improved after all. Retreat, if you follow the example of a golden bell, you will really be unable to block it, and you will not be able to run away…”
“Have you thought about it?”
“Well, I’m learning Shenfa.”
Zhang Lan nodded, “It’s quite smart. Since you can’t be perfect, you can only use your strengths and avoid weaknesses.”
Zhang Lan picked up the “Collection of Qi Refining Spells” and flipped through it, then picked up the pen on the table and drew out a few movement techniques. He was about to let Mo Hua choose one to practice, but suddenly realized something was wrong.
These movements are common movements during the Qi refining period, so it is no problem for Mo Hua to learn them. But since they are common movements, he can teach them, and so can others. How can this make him appear to be superior?
Today is still the fifth update.
Happy May Day everyone.
