By borrowing the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone from the Scripture Depository Hall and copying texts there, one received the blessings of the immortal arts contained within.
This allowed Ling Qing to quickly and accurately infuse his own insights into the text as he copied.
He naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Today was no exception. After reading scriptures in the Scripture Hall for an hour and asking Senior Brother Wan about the questions he'd had that day,
he went to the side hall, asked a Daoist boy for writing supplies, found a seat, and began copying.
Yesterday, Ling Qing had finished copying three copies of the Classic of Purity and Stillness. Today, he began copying the Classic of Eliminating Disasters and Protecting Life.
Ever since he'd first realized that the skills involved in copying scriptures could be turned into a skill,
he'd gone back and studied Read Magic and the spell-and-feat combination of copying scrolls.
He'd learned the spell long ago, since it was only a cantrip of the 0th level.
He hadn't grasped the feat, but with the knowledge from his inheritance and his experience inscribing spells into spellbooks, he was almost there.
Inscribing a spell into a spellbook didn't count as copying a scroll.
The ability to inscribe spells into a spellbook was mainly due to the spellbook's properties.
The principles were roughly similar, however, and there were also similarities to copying scriptures in the Scripture Depository Hall with the aid of immortal arts.
With these two skills as a reference, it took him only three to five days to fully grasp the copying technique.
"While copying scriptures, the character has gained insight and comprehended a unique copying technique (7/7)."
"The character has successfully created a skill. You may name the skill."
