Chapter 12: The Magician

For three days in a row, Huo Chen did not perceive any magic element, and every time he meditated, he either fell asleep or sat for a night. This made Huo Chen depressed.

"Am I really not gifted as a magician?" Huo Chen couldn't help but start to doubt himself. Because in the Eternal Continent, many gifted magicians can perceive the magical elements after half an hour of meditation, and if they don't perceive it for more than a day, it means that this person has no potential to become a magician. There are very few people like Huo Chen who insist on three days.

"Is there something wrong with the way to meditate? For the last time tonight, I'll change to a meditative position, and if it doesn't work, then I'll obediently go and learn "Stacking Palms", and never want to become a magician. Huo Chen gritted his teeth and secretly decided.

When night fell, Huo Chen came to the hills outside the village again. Half an hour later, Huo Chen was about to fall asleep again.

"Forget it, it seems that I really don't have talent." Huo Chen was a little resigned, "Since they are all here, time can't be wasted, let's practice those five movements!" ”

Soon, Huo Chen put aside the unhappiness just now and calmed down. The first type of "must be good", originally Huo Chen should have silently recited the mantra of vindictiveness. Since he was thinking about becoming a magician day and night in the past few days, Huo Chen actually recited the meditation mantra silently.

After reciting the mantra for the first time, Huo Chen found that the world around him had changed drastically.

The earth beneath your feet is an orderly arrangement of slowly moving earth elements; Grass and trees are wood elements; The various elements pulsed around Huo Chen like elves, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.

"That's the element? It turns out that my meditative posture has always been wrong! ”

Huo Chen tried to communicate with these elements, and found that these elements were like obedient children, like fingers. Huo Chen tried to absorb it, and found that the elements of various systems were rushing towards Huo Chen's veins.

I only felt that a loud "boom" exploded in Zhihai, Huo Chen was already a trainee magician, and he was a trainee magician in the whole department. Because like Dou Qi, Huo Chen could absorb the entire system of magic elements and transform them into magic power.

After a night, Huo Chen did not feel tired, but was a little energetic, the magic in his veins was full, and his perception also increased.

After Huo Chen finished breakfast, he came to the village chief's house again and told Zhuge Yun what happened last night. Just to see if the villagers can use the same method as him to perceive the magic element and become magicians.

Zhuge Yun was very excited when he heard this, and immediately called the five elders in the village and arranged for the villagers to test their magical talents.

Three days later, a group of people gathered at the village chief's house. Through meditation training, a total of two people in the village discovered magical talents, one is Ma Ping, who can absorb wood elements; There is also a six-year-old Lan Lan, who also has a strong perception and can absorb fire and wood magic elements, among which the perception of wood elements is the top, no wonder Lan Lan is so familiar with various medicinal materials.

Ever since Lan Lan was discovered to have a talent for magic, she has been busy. Every day, he needs to absorb elements to increase his magic power, and he also needs to increase his mental power through meditation, and he also helps Ma Ping to study medicinal materials and various prescriptions together. The schedule is very tight, and even the time to play is deprived, but Lan Lan is not tired of it.

And Huo Chen was even busier than Lan Lan. When you get up in the morning, you practice the five movements as a warm-up, and practice the collapse fist for an hour after the warm-up; After breakfast, I practiced "Stacking Palms" in the morning, went to the forging workshop to learn forging with Zhuge Kun in the afternoon, and conducted meditation training after dinner. Although the days are urgent, they are very fulfilling, and there are huge gains every day, accumulating confidence and strength for leaving Zhuge Village to enter the Eternal Continent in the future.

"Thorn Circle!" With a crisp sound, many thumb-thick thorns quickly grew from the ground, wrapping around the hind legs of the Flying Demon Tiger.

"Well done, Lan Lan hold on, look at my powerful wind blade!" Immediately, two blades composed of wind elements slashed towards the wings of the Flying Demon Tiger. "Without wings, I'll see how you fly!"

Hearing only a scream, the wings of the Flying Demon Tiger broke from the root, and the huge body fell from the air.

"Brother Chen, the time for the thorn twist is coming!"

"It's okay, Earth Bondage!" I saw the land around the Demon Tiger surging, as if I wanted to eat it, and the Flying Demon Tiger sank into the ground for more than half a meter.

"Lan Lan, be careful of its final counterattack!"

"Okay, Brother Chen. It's not the first time I've killed the Demon ******* after Lan Lan, Huo Chen deceives himself, deftly dodging the roar of the wind released by the Flying Demon Tiger, and hits its head with a crashing punch, directly dispersing its brain, and dies quietly without even screaming.

"Okay, Lan Lan, I'll take care of the rest. I'm here to collect the magic crystal of this Flying Demon Tiger, and I can get a fifth-level wind magic crystal. ”

"Okay, Brother Chen, I'll go collect that hundred-year-old purple salvia, this is a good thing to increase your fighting spirit."

This is something that has often happened in the last five years. Huo Chen and Lan Lan would come to the surrounding area every once in a while to collect medicines. Sometimes I would encounter some fifth-level guardian demonic beasts, but under the combined attack of Huo Chen and Lan Lan, none of them formed an effective obstacle, and this was the case today.

In the past five years, Huo Chen's magician level has also reached the one-star great magician level, but like the warrior level, Huo Chen's magician level has not increased for three years. Every time he cultivates, although he can also absorb the aura of heaven and earth and the elements of magic, he will not increase his fighting energy and magic power.

Under Zhuge Kun's careful teaching, Huo Chen's forging master level has grown quite quickly, and he has reached the intermediate forging master level. After Huo Chen reached the intermediate forging master, he didn't spend more time practicing forging, which gave Zhuge Kun a headache.

In addition, in the three years when the level of Dou Qi and magic could not be increased, the Broken Fist and the Stacked Palms had also reached their peak, and the subtle realm was basically stable, Huo Chen carefully studied the "Introduction to the Demon Pattern".

Until now, Huo Chen still remembers one day three years ago, Huo Chen took out the "Introduction to the Magic Pattern" and began to read.

Magic pattern drawing is to use spiritual power to drive the magic elements between heaven and earth, depict various magic symbols on the equipment, and use special techniques to string together various magic symbols, and the user injects magic or fighting energy into the equipment, activates various magic symbols, releases magic or fighting skills, and achieves the effect of killing the enemy. These magic symbols form various patterns on the equipment, called magic patterns. Some defensive patterns can also directly use high-grade magic crystals to provide mana, and the magic patterns will not lose their effect until the magic of the crystal is depleted.

The magic pattern is very complex, the thickness, turn, spacing of each line have specific requirements, most of the high-level magic patterns have thousands of lines, the slightest deviation is a failure, so the magic pattern master must have high mental power, strong perception, and great patience.

This also makes any magic pattern on the Eternal Continent sell for a high price, and an excellent magic pattern artist will gain everyone's respect wherever he goes.

Finally, "Introduction to the Demon Pattern" also classifies the Demon Pattern Master in detail.

Low-level Patterns can draw Level 1 Attack or Defense Patterns; Attacking the Demon Pattern is similar to the full force of a Level 3 magic or armed peak warrior; Defensive Patterns can block the same damage once;

An Intermediate Pattern Master can draw a Level 2 Attack or Defense Pattern; Attacking the Demon Pattern is similar to the full force of a Level 6 Magic or Peak of Light Warrior; Defensive Patterns can block the same damage once; Intermediate Magicians can draw low-level spatial patterns on their robes to form a storage space for the scrolls;

A high-level Demonic Artist can draw a Level 3 attack or defensive Pattern; The attack pattern is similar to the full force of a ninth-level magic or a peak warrior of glory; Defensive Patterns can block the same damage once; The senior magic pattern artist can also draw the advanced space magic pattern on the ring to make a space ring;

A Grandmaster-level Pattern Master can draw more than two stacked Patterns; The attack pattern is similar to the full force of a level 12 magic or legendary peak warrior; Defensive Patterns can block the same damage once;

A god-level demonic pattern master can make demonic patterns form demonic pattern arrays, similar to the existence of a realm.

At the end of the book, there are also some first-level attack and defense magic patterns attached.

Once you understand what a magic pattern is, all that's left is to practice. However, there is a big problem in front of Huo Chen, there is no necessary material for painting demons! Includes Magic Brush, Magic Potion, and Magic Paper.

Painted paper is a kind of paper made of fragrant wood lotus stem and flame lizard blood as the main material, processed by special technology, and the smell is fragrant. But you can also use the skin of the monster instead of the painting paper. The drawn magic pattern is rubbed onto the equipment through a special method, and the magic pattern can be activated. Some high-level and highly skilled demon painters draw directly on the equipment, and the effect is better.

The best magic pattern potion is made with high-grade demonic beast blood as the main material, combined with other materials, and refined in a specific way, and the price is very high. Different people's attributes are different, and the magic patterns that can be used are also different, and generally the magic pattern artist will draw the magic pattern according to the requirements of use, and the magic pattern potion used is also different.

The magic pen is very easy to make, and the main tip is not easy to find. You have to find a fifth-level flying demonic beast with five different attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and extract the feathers under its armpits to make it carefully.

And Huo Chen spent a full month in order to gather these materials.

It took another month to learn to draw the first first-level fire defense pattern. This magic pattern has two hundred and thirty-eight tones of circuits, and it took two days just to memorize the way to move the line. When drawing the magic pattern, you must be distracted, because Huo Chen has more than once when he is finally about to succeed, he is excited and fails, which makes Huo Chen depressed and wants to kill people every time.

For more than two years, Huo Chen has come over in this way in the midst of continuous failures, and of course, Huo Chen has also deeply imprinted all the first-level magic patterns in the book in his mind.

When Huo Chen first learned to draw magic patterns, he also wanted the only two other magicians in the village to learn to draw, but Ma Ping and Lan Lan were unwilling to learn, especially Lan Lan, every time she picked up the magic pen, she seemed to have a deep hatred. It's still more fun to refine medicine.
