Object Manipulation Technique Entry Stage, Cultivating Various Spells (Please Bookmark)

When Qi Chuan left the Exchange Pavilion, he had gained not only a Qi Refining Spell Compendium, but also a bottle containing three Spirit Quenching Pills.

The price was merely twenty-five Low-grade Spirit Stones.

...Well, although he had a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones and had suddenly become a little wealthier, Spirit Stones were still spent quickly. A quarter of them was gone just like that.

Unlike the Evergreen Art bestowed by the Lineage several years ago, this Qi Refining Spell Compendium did not need to be returned to the Lineage.

He could keep it for himself and cultivate the spells within whenever he wished.

Not long after returning to his own Independent Peak, Qi Chuan began attempting to cultivate the Object Manipulation Technique.

After all, compared to the other spells, learning the Object Manipulation Technique and mastering the High-grade Magic Tool, "Flying Ash," would maximize his current combat strength.

Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Qi Chuan had the opened Qi Refining Spell Compendium before him. His gaze rested on the page that recorded the Object Manipulation Technique.

"According to this, the Object Manipulation Technique is even more difficult than other commonly used Qi Refining spells?"

"Still, unlike other spells, as long as the Object Manipulation Technique reaches the Entry Stage, one can manipulate Magic Artifacts."

"As for high-level Object Manipulation Techniques, their boost to combat strength is not all that obvious. Unlike spells such as the Fireball Technique, where each higher stage represents an enormous leap in power."

With a brief glance, Qi Chuan learned some information about the Object Manipulation Technique.

Then he began studying the Object Manipulation Technique in earnest.

Before long, he had carefully read through it once. He then slightly closed his Eyes, repeatedly reflecting on what he had gained from this reading. Only after a while did he open them again.

You carefully read through the Object Manipulation Technique once, diligently comprehended it, and attempted to bring it to the Entry Stage. You triggered a Tenfold Critical Hit and gained tenfold harvest. Your understanding of the Object Manipulation Technique has improved slightly.

As expected, a familiar line of text appeared before his Eyes.

Soon afterward, some understanding of the Object Manipulation Technique also surged into his mind.

Compared to reading and comprehending it once normally, the understanding of the Object Manipulation Technique that emerged in his mind was clearly far greater—understanding bolstered tenfold.

Qi Chuan immediately closed his Eyes and sensed the information in his mind. Before long, he absorbed it all and distinctly felt his understanding of the Object Manipulation Technique improve somewhat.

This slight improvement was obviously not enough to directly bring the Object Manipulation Technique to the Entry Stage.

However, if he could continue gaining understanding of the Object Manipulation Technique at this pace, then its Entry Stage would surely come very quickly.

"Then, continue comprehending it!"

Qi Chuan immediately resumed studying the Object Manipulation Technique with full attention.

Lines of text also appeared before his Eyes from time to time.

You carefully read through the Object Manipulation Technique once, diligently comprehended it, and attempted to bring it to the Entry Stage. You triggered a Ninefold Critical Hit and gained ninefold harvest. Your understanding of the Object Manipulation Technique has improved slightly.

You carefully read through the Object Manipulation Technique once, diligently comprehended it, and attempted to bring it to the Entry Stage. You triggered a Twelvefold Critical Hit and gained twelvefold harvest. Your understanding of the Object Manipulation Technique has improved slightly.

You carefully read through the Object Manipulation Technique once, diligently comprehended it, and attempted to bring it to the Entry Stage. You triggered a Sixtyfold Critical Hit and gained sixtyfold harvest. Your understanding of the Object Manipulation Technique has improved somewhat. Your Object Manipulation Technique has reached the Entry Stage.

Three days later, Qi Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged on his bed, opened his Eyes. Such a line of text appeared before him.

Then he felt his understanding of the Object Manipulation Technique in his mind surge dramatically. Combined with his earlier accumulation, it had evidently reached the Entry Stage directly.

Qi Chuan nodded slightly at this.

Over these past three days, aside from his routine cultivation of his technique, he had not touched any other spells. He had focused his efforts on the Object Manipulation Technique first.

Now, he had finally succeeded in reaching the Entry Stage.

It seemed that, just as the Qi Refining Spell Compendium had said, the Object Manipulation Technique truly was more difficult than ordinary commonly used Qi Refining spells. It had actually taken him a full three days to reach the Entry Stage.

Then Qi Chuan looked toward the grayish dagger, "Flying Ash," placed beside him. He considered the method of the Object Manipulation Technique, chanted an incantation, then bent two fingers together and pointed at the dagger.

At that moment, Spell Power flowed out from Qi Chuan's Dantian. At the same time, a slight tremor came from between his brows—he had drawn upon his spiritual power.

The Object Manipulation Technique required both Spell Power and spiritual power to cast.

For ordinary object manipulation, the consumption of Spell Power was relatively low, while the expenditure of spiritual power was greater.

However, if one wished to make a Magic Artifact unleash formidable power and kill enemies, it would also require a considerable supply of Spell Power.

But he was not facing an enemy now. If he was merely manipulating a Magic Artifact, the Spell Power consumption was rather low.

Buzz.

As his Spell Power and spiritual power circulated, the "Flying Ash" dagger gave a slight shudder and floated into the air. It darted back and forth several times, then transformed into a Grey Shadow that circled Qi Chuan as it flew, producing piercing sounds through the air.

It looked as though it had a bit of defensive effect.

However, using it to guard against spells cast by others was clearly impossible. This High-grade Magic Tool was an offensive Magic Artifact, chiefly meant for killing enemies. Its defensive power was even inferior to the Golden Skin Technique.

But with no opponent before him, Qi Chuan had no way to test the power of this High-grade Magic Tool.

Thus, he could only put Flying Ash away.

You successfully cast the Object Manipulation Technique once and maintained it for a period of time. You triggered a Threefold Critical Hit and gained threefold harvest. Your understanding of the Object Manipulation Technique has improved slightly.

Just as Qi Chuan stopped circulating the Object Manipulation Technique and put away the Magic Artifact, a line of text appeared before his Eyes. Soon afterward, a small amount of understanding regarding the Object Manipulation Technique appeared in his mind as well.

After digesting and absorbing it, Qi Chuan's understanding of the Object Manipulation Technique deepened somewhat further.

"At the Entry Stage, this Object Manipulation Technique is enough to use this High-grade Magic Tool for now. But if I can stack it to a higher stage, that would naturally be even better."

Qi Chuan nodded slightly at this.

However, the Object Manipulation Technique likely no longer required him to devote extra effort to cultivating it. As he used Magic Artifacts in the future, the Object Manipulation Technique would naturally continue improving until it finally reached the Perfection Stage.

By then, even if high-level Object Manipulation Techniques did not provide an obvious increase in strength, the flexible use of Magic Artifacts granted by a Perfection Stage Object Manipulation Technique would surely be of no small use when fighting enemies.

"Next, I'll bring some other commonly used spells to the Entry Stage first, in case of unforeseen need. I'll start with... the Invisibility Technique."

After the Object Manipulation Technique reached the Entry Stage, Qi Chuan turned his attention to the other spells. In the end, he decided to cultivate the Invisibility Technique first.

"This Invisibility Technique is extremely useful... At the Beginner Stage, it can deceive the heavens and cross the seas before Mortals. Cultivated to a high stage, even Xiu Xian practitioners will find it difficult to detect."

After briefly scanning the information on the Invisibility Technique in the Qi Refining Spell Compendium, Qi Chuan began earnestly reading and comprehending the Invisibility Technique.

You carefully read through the Invisibility Technique once, diligently comprehended it, and attempted to bring it to the Entry Stage. You triggered a Fifteenfold Critical Hit and gained fifteenfold harvest. Your understanding of the Invisibility Technique has improved slightly.

Before long, another line of text appeared before his Eyes...
