Wang Ba had always been reasonably quick to act.
So he immediately took all the spell manuals he had bought earlier out of his Storage Bag.
He sorted them by category and laid them out one by one.
There were three offensive spells. Of these, only the Divine Fire Technique required no resources, needing only the construction of a complex Law Power circulation route.
There were two defensive spells, and likewise, only Heaven-Returning Life-Guarding could be cast purely through the circulation of Law Power.
There were over a dozen auxiliary spells. A quick look showed that half required no resources.
Minor spells such as the Clean Clothes Technique and Lamp-Lighting Technique could basically be mastered with just a little effort.
The Water Mirror spell he had learned earlier had been like that.
Something like the Soul-Searching Technique, however, required a great deal of time to construct and familiarize oneself with the corresponding Law Power circulation route, and even required the involvement of Divine Soul power.
Its complexity was as far removed from ordinary minor spells as the heavens were from the abyss.
After roughly reading through all of them, Wang Ba had gained a distinctly deeper understanding of these spells.
Simply put, the vast majority of these ordinary spells that required no additional treasures or resources were clearly inferior in both power and effect to powerful spells such as the Golden Wind Swift Arrow Technique.
Their advantage was that ordinary cultivators could master them through prolonged practice even without the aid of resources.
Of course, the necessary expenditure of time remained unavoidable.
Some people might possess exceptional talent and grasp spells extremely quickly, shortening the time needed to learn them.
Such people might not necessarily have particularly high cultivation realms, but they were often adept at confronting enemies in battle.
