Chapter 8 Gathering Spirits and Turning into Rain
Zhang Mengyuan rambled on for a while, and then began to explain to Zhang Zhixuan the key points of Gathering Spirits and Transforming Rain.
I have just seen the seventh uncle Zhang Mengyuan use this spell, and Zhang Zhixuan has been familiar with this spell for a few days. He soon got a clue and started to get started.
The principle of Gathering Spirits and Transforming Rain is to gather the thin spiritual energy in the world, and then communicate with the water vapor in the air to condense the water vapor into drops of rain, and then mix the spiritual energy into the process.
This spell is Ling Zhifu’s housekeeping method, which is improved from another water spell, water gathering.
When you first learn this spell, you still need the combination of the magic platform and the formation flag. When you become proficient, you can cast it quickly even if you are away from the magic platform and the formation flag.
Zhang Mengyuan returned to the room unhurriedly and took out a ritual platform, four formation flags, two hoes, and some sundries.
He pointed at the altar and said: “This altar is a ritual instrument that I used before, and it has been put aside for more than ten years.
You have just started learning this spell, and you don’t have water spirit roots in your body yet, so it may be difficult to cast it.
I will lend you these two magic weapons first. If you want them after one year, you can buy them with twenty low-grade spiritual stones.
Uncle Qi will not take advantage of you. The altar is a second-level low-grade magic weapon, and the four formation flags are all first-level high-grade magic tools. When I purchased these things, I spent thirty low-grade spiritual stones.
In order to become the spiritual husband of the family, Uncle Qi worked hard to save spiritual stones for ten years before buying these things. “
In the past thirty years, due to the decline of the Zhang family’s power, the treatment of the monks in the family has gradually decreased.
Monks in the second spiritual root Qi training period will only be issued one low-grade spiritual stone every month, and a total of twelve low-grade spiritual stones will be issued in a year.
The Third Spiritual Root cultivators are much worse off. Their salary is only half of that of the Second Spiritual Root cultivators, and they only receive six low-grade spiritual stones a year.
The conditions for monks with four spiritual roots are even worse. Their salary is only half that of monks with three spiritual roots, and they only receive three low-grade spiritual stones every year.
As for the Five Spiritual Root cultivators, the family does not invest much resources and only distributes one low-grade spiritual stone every year.
“The seventh uncle seems to be a monk with four spiritual roots. When he was young, his family was not as depressed as it is now. The conditions were slightly better. It is estimated that his annual salary should be one or two more spiritual stones.
When he learned the art of Gathering Spirits and Transforming Rain, he was already over forty years old, and his family wealth had been accumulated for more than ten years, so he could buy magic weapons and learn the art of Gathering Spirits and Transforming Rain.
If it is an ordinary casual cultivator, there is neither spiritual vein cultivation nor the secrets of martial arts, and it will not be able to save a few spiritual stones throughout the year.
Even if you want to become a spiritual cultivator, who has the lowest threshold among all the arts, it may not be easy. “
Zhang Zhixuan thought for a while, then reached out and touched the altar. He felt a cold feeling in his hands. After a closer look, he found that the material of the altar was actually fine white jade, with a complex rune drawn on it.
“This is the water-gathering rune. There are also soul-gathering runes on the formation flag. When learning spells, your mana first runs along the water-gathering rune, and then merges with the spirit-gathering runes on the four formation flags to cast it. Gathering spirits to transform into rain.
If you still have rich spiritual stones in your hand, go to the market to buy a first-grade high-quality water attribute array disk.
Combining the formation plate with these magical weapons, you can form a second-level low-level formation water formation. If you encounter a Qi-training monk who is not familiar with formations, you will have a great chance of winning. “Zhang Mengyuan seemed to know what Zhang Zhixuan was thinking, and continued.
It has been more than ten years since Zhang Zhixuan started practicing. When he first started, his treatment was equivalent to that of a Three Spiritual Roots monk.
After his father passed away, first of all, he cultivated very quickly, and secondly, the family also wanted to compensate him. Now his treatment is equivalent to that of a second spiritual root monk.
In the past ten years, including the inheritance left by his father, he has dealt with hundreds of spirit stones. Although he usually does not practice sparingly, he sometimes uses spirit stones to practice extravagantly.
“Since we have decided to guard the spiritual field, we must learn the art of Gathering Spirits and Transforming Rain, and we should not save the investment.”
Zhang Zhixuan thought for a while and said: “The seventh uncle may not have much money. My nephew has rich spiritual stones now, so he doesn’t have to wait until next year.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhixuan quickly returned to his room, and then took out a silk package, which contained an exquisite leather box one foot square.
Zhang Zhixuan opened the suitcase. There were dozens of spiritual stones of various attributes neatly placed inside. There was also an eight-inch long green sword under the spiritual stones. On the left side were more than a dozen paper charms and a pair of palm-sized talismans. The wooden talisman is the most conspicuous.
This wooden box is Zhang Zhixuan’s most important property besides the Taoist books on his body.
Part of these properties is the inheritance of Zhang Zhixuan’s father, and the other part is all his accumulation in the past ten years.
The small green sword is a second-level mid-grade magical weapon called the Green Bamboo Sword. The material used is the branches of Shanmen Green Bamboo.
There are more than a dozen green bamboos at the mountain gate, which can not only serve as the base of the formation, but also produce some spiritual talents to refine three or four second-level magic swords every year.
The quality of these magic swords varies. The best ones can reach the second-order high-grade, and the average ones can reach the second-order mid-grade. If the monk who refines the weapon is inexperienced, it is likely to use the spiritual wealth of the second-order high-grade to refine the second-order low-grade magic sword.
This magical weapon was a gift given by Zhang Zhixuan on behalf of the family from his seventeenth uncle Zhang Mengling after he advanced to the middle stage of Qi training five years ago.
As for the pair of wooden talismans, it was after he broke through his innateness at the age of six that he alerted the clan leader Zhang Leqian. Zhang Leqian was so happy that he gave the pair of wooden talismans to him.
This pair of wooden talismans are second-level high-grade spiritual talismans. One wooden talisman is sealed with the magic fire and thunder technique, and the other wooden talisman is sealed with the golden sword technique.
The magic power of the wooden talisman seal is quite powerful, no less than a full blow from a ninth-level Qi practitioner.
Even a sixth-level qi-training monk like Zhang Zhixuan would have a hard time surviving if he was hit by this spell without special and mysterious defense methods.
The remaining dozen magical talismans were commonly used. His father also had a second-level magic weapon back then. Unfortunately, he was killed by his enemies and had been lost long ago. Zhang Zhixuan did not inherit it.
Zhang Zhixuan selected a dozen low-grade earth-attribute spiritual stones, then reluctantly picked up a few gold and fire-attribute spiritual stones and handed them to his seventh uncle Zhang Mengyuan.
Zhang Zhixuan does not have earth spiritual roots, so refining earth-attributed spirit stones will take twice the effort with half the effort, while gold and fire-attributed spirit stones are very suitable for Zhang Zhixuan’s cultivation.
“As an elder in the family, it is only right to give you these magical artifacts.
But I also have to think about your twenty-ninth brother. His spiritual root qualifications are probably not as good as those of Qi Bo and me.
Once the seventh uncle gets old, something must be left for him. Please ask your nephew to be a little understanding and don’t blame the seventh uncle for being stingy. “Zhang Mengyuan hesitated for a moment, then happily accepted the spirit stone and said.
The cold is not good yet, my head is dizzy, I will update it today
