Basic Spells

Looking at everyone present, Senior Brother Su smiled, nodded to the crowd, and said with a smile:

"Some of you know each other, and some are junior brothers visiting for the first time. Here, I teach basic knowledge like the Five Elements spells on the first five days of each month. If you have any questions during normal times, you can also find me in the pavilion on the east side of the main hall, where I cultivate. (www..com)"

"Today happens to be the first of the month, so I will start by explaining the Five Elements spells, beginning with the cultivation incantation for the 'Fireball Technique'..."

As Qin Fengming listened to Senior Brother Su introduce the incantation for the 'Fireball Technique', his heart stirred slightly. This incantation was essentially the same as the 'Fireball Technique' incantation in the small booklet he was cultivating.

For five consecutive days, Qin Fengming arrived at the Hall of Bestowal punctually to listen to Senior Brother Su explain the Five Elements spells.

During these five days, Qin Fengming not only familiarized himself with the basic Five Elements spells but also understood the classification of spells, learning that spells are divided into low, medium, and high grades.

Low-grade spells include low-tier, mid-tier, and high-tier spells.

The 'Fireball Technique', 'Ice Bullet Technique', 'Object Control Technique', and 'Spirit Eye Technique' are low-tier spells; the Sky-soaring Technique, Ice Wall Technique, and Earth Wall Technique are mid-tier spells.

Because he was only at the Qi Gathering Stage Three, he could only practice low-tier spells. Mid-tier spells consumed too much of his spiritual energy and he couldn't cast them at will. Only the 'Sky-soaring Technique' was an exception, which he could use for short periods.

The 'Sky-soaring Technique' is a spell that allows one to fly in the air. One could also, like the second young master of the Zhang Clan back then, affix a Sky-soaring Talisman. A Sky-soaring Talisman is a talisman that can increase speed and reduce the consumption of one's spiritual energy.

'Object Control Technique' allows one to control objects from a distance, making them move, fly, etc. 'Object Control Technique' is also the basic method for controlling magic tools and treasures.

'Spirit Eye Technique' uses divine sense to check if the opponent's dantian has deep spiritual energy. At the Qi Gathering stage, one can roughly determine which stage the opponent is in, and also whether the opponent is a mortal or a cultivator.

The 'Ice Wall Technique', 'Ice Shield Technique', 'Earth Wall Technique', and 'Earth Shield Technique' are all defensive spells. After casting, a barrier can appear in front of or around oneself, protecting from harm. This plays a significant role in duels among low-level cultivators.

Mid-tier spells cannot be smoothly cast by Qin Fengming at present; he would need to reach the mid-Qi Gathering stage to use them.

During this period, Qin Fengming also specifically went to Senior Brother Su to ask about the usage of the ring. Senior Brother Su found it very strange that Qin Fengming didn't even recognize a storage ring.

However, upon learning that he had followed Martial Uncle Fei, his expression relaxed. Martial Uncle Fei was solely focused on artifact refining and paid no attention to anything else. It was quite normal for Qin Fengming not to know about storage rings.

With Senior Brother Su's patient explanation, Qin Fengming finally understood how to use a storage ring and learned some of its taboos.

One, storage rings cannot store other storage rings, otherwise, the spatial laws will cause the storage ring to burst.

Two, storage rings cannot store living beings, otherwise, they will turn into dead objects upon entering.

Three, storage rings have a certain storage limit and cannot store objects exceeding their storage space.

After bidding farewell to Senior Brother Su, Qin Fengming returned to his residence and immediately took out the storage ring from the second young master of the Zhang Clan. Following the usage method explained by Senior Brother Su, he easily retrieved the items inside.

The problem that had troubled him for several years was finally solved, making him extremely happy.

Inside this ring were over thirty low-grade Spirit Stones; seven talismans, including one Thunderclap Talisman and one Ice Shield Talisman of intermediate-grade; the rest were low-grade talismans, one Invisibility Talisman, one Earth Evasion Talisman, one Earth Shaking Talisman, and two Fireball Talismans; a jade bottle containing three yellow pills, the type of medicine unknown; a black shard that faintly pulsed with spiritual energy; and a small fork, about two to three inches long.

Judging by the spiritual energy on it, Qin Fengming determined that this small fork was actually a high-grade magic tool, which made him even more excited; there were also dozens of blank talisman papers and a talisman brush. And a book titled "Talisman Crafting Basics".

He picked up the small fork and, following the method taught by Senior Brother Su, injected a bit of spiritual energy. The fork immediately grew to about two feet long, shining with a dark, lustrous glow, appearing incredibly imposing.

With a gentle flick of his hand, the fork circled the room several times at lightning speed. Qin Fengming couldn't help but feel a chill of fear, realizing that if the second young master of the Zhang Clan had used this fork from the beginning, his life would have been forfeit long ago.

He then picked up the jade bottle containing the yellow pills. Upon opening the lid, a remarkably pure spiritual energy rushed towards his face. He surmised that this pill must be extraordinary, but not knowing what it was, he dared not consume it.

He then picked up the black shard. He felt that it contained even more spiritual energy than the small fork. Injecting some spiritual energy into it yielded no change, leaving him very puzzled as to what it was.

He picked up the book "Talisman Crafting Basics". It was a book introducing the methods for crafting basic talismans. It explained how to make them, what materials to use, and included drawing methods for several basic talismans. Although not very detailed, it provided a pathway to crafting talismans.

Among these items, what made Qin Fengming most happy was the dozens of Spirit Stones. Having some understanding of Spirit Stones, Qin Fengming was naturally overjoyed. He knew that he only had two Spirit Stones in his initial supplies, and now he had obtained dozens at once.

After fiddling with the various items for a while, Qin Fengming stored all his belongings into the storage ring. However, when he tried to store the emerald green gourd he had been carrying with him into the storage ring, he was greatly puzzled. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't put it in.

This baffled him immensely. He had no choice but to keep the gourd close to his body.

For over ten days, Qin Fengming practiced the Five Elements spells taught by Senior Brother Su. He had learned all the low-tier spells. Although not yet proficient, he was familiar with them all.

Qin Fengming knew that his spiritual energy was still shallow and he could not yet cast mid-tier spells.

One day, Qin Fengming went to Senior Brother Su's cultivation place again. Standing outside the restriction, he sent out a sound transmission talisman.

The sound transmission talisman was one of the unknown talismans from the package Qin Fengming received when he first arrived at the Luoxia Sect. After speaking a few words into the sound transmission talisman and fixing the person or direction with his divine sense, the talisman would automatically fly away.

Not long after, Senior Brother Su appeared at the entrance of the pavilion. Seeing that it was Qin Fengming, he smiled and said, "Junior Brother Qin, what business do you have with me?"

In their interactions over the past few days, Qin Fengming had been the most diligent and hardworking among the disciples, so he had a good impression of him.

"I apologize for disturbing your cultivation, Senior Brother. I didn't know who else to ask, so I had to trouble you, Senior Brother," Qin Fengming replied respectfully.

"You can tell me whatever you want to ask, don't hesitate," Senior Brother Su said calmly.

Qin Fengming got straight to the point: "I want to look at some cultivation technique texts, but I don't know where I can borrow them. Please guide me, Senior Brother."

"Go inside from here. There is a great hall on the mountain peak ahead: the Pivotal Pavilion. The library within contains everything, including alchemy, artifact refining, cultivation techniques, talisman crafting, etc. However, Qi Gathering stage disciples can only browse on the first floor. Do you have a token?"

Qin Fengming was startled and asked, "What do you mean by a token? Martial Uncle Fei gave me a jade token earlier, I wonder if that counts." As he spoke, he took out a jade token and handed it to Senior Brother Su.

"Hmm, this jade token can be considered a token. Take it there, and it should allow you to enter."
