"But what kind of talisman cultivator can buy it with some money, right?" Zhao Li frowned and thought for a moment, and then asked: "I have never seen this monk dispute, can you tell me, I think that since I stepped into Qi refining, my skills are far beyond mortals, even in the face of a monk of the same level who has been practicing martial arts all year round, with his current eyesight and speed, he should not be powerless." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Brother Zhao, you take this too seriously. Cao Yang shook his head on the side and sighed: "The same mortal, the martial artist can easily defeat the farmer, now that the martial artist and the farmer have reached the qi refining period, the farmer will have the power to resist? If you don't believe it, I can fight with you and try it, I have learned some martial arts, and I can subdue you within five moves with the power of the second layer of qi refining." ”

Zhao Li thought about it, it was indeed the case, but he was a little unwilling, and said: "In that case, a monk who is not practicing martial arts can only be oppressed, and he has no future?"

"Not necessarily. Nie Linghui said while applying ointment to the injured Zhang Hongye: "After all, monks are different from mortals, purely martial arts, after all, they are inferior, if they can master some attack secret arts, spells, magic weapons or talisman formations, at least they will be able to deal with those martial bastards of the Blood Sea Crazy Sword Gang." ”

"What do you mean by attacking secret arts, spells, magic weapons, or talisman formations?" Zhao Li asked, he had heard of these words, and he could probably imagine some of them, but his knowledge was limited.

Nie Linghui slowly explained to Zhao Li.

The reason why the monk's status is transcendent to mortals, in addition to his long lifespan, is that he can master secret arts, spells, magic weapons and talisman formations that require spiritual power.

The so-called secret arts, the reason why they are mentioned separately from spells, is because secret techniques actually correspond to the secret types of Tao, secrets, literature, martial arts, weapons, and other secrets, once you practice secret arts, you can no longer practice any other spells, but secret arts also have their own special advantages, generally have unusual auxiliary or attack functions, and even the value of additional functions far exceeds the cultivation use itself, which will be called secret arts. For example, the 49 Sects, one of the 42 factions in Qindi, although its dispatch is scarce, and there is no offensive power, but the "Forty-Nine Divine Calculations" of the 49 Gates is rumored to have the miraculous effect of calculating bad luck and avoiding death, so even the people of the six major factions are polite when they see the people of the 49 Gates, after all, they may ask others to show them a clear path one day.

And the spells are much simpler, except for some special spells, most spells as long as a monk, as long as there is spiritual power and the attributes are right, you can release it after learning.

The rules of the talisman array are also easy to understand, and a special pattern and text are called Dao patterns - these Dao patterns are drawn on a square inch of paper, and they are drawn with specific materials to be talismans, and different talismans have different uses and power - but they are all one-time consumables, and a large number of Dao patterns are arranged on a large carrier in a specific combination - I have to mention here that the talisman formation or the Dao pattern can be described as a spell, The foundation of the magic weapon, if you don't know the pattern, you can't learn advanced spells, and the reason why the magic weapon becomes a magic weapon is also because the carrier is engraved with various formations.

As for magic weapons, including but not limited to weapons, it is a magic weapon to engrave the magic array pattern on the items made of heavenly and earthly treasures, and Zhao Li can understand it by himself - his "Journey to the West" uses N more magic weapons, but unlike Journey to the West, there are more magic weapons in this world, and the classification is more complicated - after all, there is a highly developed cultivation society that has existed for I don't know how many thousands of years.

"I won't mention the secret arts, it seems that there are few and very good, but what about the spells, magic weapons and talisman formations?" Zhao Li listened to the explanation and asked, "Can't you buy these spirit stones?

"Don't think that you are smart, all the casual cultivators back then were fools. There will be no sect to sell a truly powerful spell, let alone pass it on, and the money collected by thirty Qi refining and dispersing cultivation can buy a few spells, but it can only be bought and learned by whom, and what if you learn it? The spiritual power of the Qi training period can be put two or three times at most, what is enough?" Nie Linghui rolled her eyes at Zhao Li, and continued to retort: "Saying a magic weapon again, even a magic weapon like a storage bag costs hundreds of taels of spirit stones, which magic weapon that really has the power to attack is not a sky-high price?" Even if it is a rare thing for a foundation building cultivator with a sect, do you think a few Qi Refining and Dispersion cultivators can buy it?"

"However, when I was cultivating against the Blood Sea Crazy Knife Gang, I bought a lot of talismans. Cao Yang said with a look of regret on the side: "But at that time, because of the limited number of spirit stones, most of the defensive talismans I bought were defensive talismans - this is at least half cheaper than the price of offensive talismans of the same level, but unfortunately the Blood Sea Crazy Knife Gang also bought a lot of talismans, and there are offensive and defensive, in short, it was normal to not be able to beat the Blood Sea Crazy Knife Gang back then, and our scattered cultivation was too poor." ”

Zhao Li was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Then how many spirit stones do these things cost?"

"The secret art represents inheritance, not something that can be bought with spirit stones. Spells, it depends on what kind of spell it is, the most basic of the five elements of spells, the ice edge thorn, the blazing fireball, and the wind slash are about a hundred taels of spirit stones, as for the magic weapons that can be used for attacking, there is no need to think about it, at most use a magic weapon engraved with a simple pattern - it is simple to use, and the power under the magic weapon is the magic weapon, but it also requires at least dozens of taels of spirit stones to make a foundation. The rune can be tried, but it is not cheap, the power of the rune of the lower grade of the yellow level is equivalent to the spell of the Qi refining period, the offensive needs one of twenty taels of spirit shatters, and the defense needs one of ten taels of spirit fragments, and the power of the rune of the yellow level middle grade is equivalent to the spell of the early stage of foundation building, and the offensive one needs twenty taels of spirit stones, and the defense needs one of ten taels of spirit stones. Nie Linghui roughly quoted the price.

"Such an exaggeration? Then how many monks in this world can learn spells?" Zhao Li was simply shocked, he knew the speed of ordinary Qi refining period to earn spirit stones, there was no special adventure, that is, to do coolies, miscellaneous work, and cut out the cost of cultivation, generally it was almost enough to save four or five spirit stones a month, which was only enough to put half of the defensive spells in the early stage of foundation building.

"Brother Zhao, don't look at everything with the eyes of scattered cultivation. Cao Yang smiled bitterly and said: "If there is a family sect, how can it be bullied by the people of the Blood Sea Crazy Knife Gang, everything will have its own sect protection, if there is a master, there is a master and a master to teach spells, alas, it is not easy to cultivate." ”

On the one hand, you don't have to worry about anything, everything depends on the teacher, on the other hand, you have to spend money on spirit stones for everything, and you have to be oppressed, Zhao Li now finally knows what the sentence "The road in the future is not easy to walk" means when he wore the old road of Yunzi, there is no way to go at all!

"Zhao Li, what are you going to do?" Seeing that Zhao Li didn't say a word, he stood up and walked towards the door, Nie Linghui hurriedly asked.

"I'm going to visit the market, I've been on this mountain for some time, and I've never learned about these spells, magic weapons, and talisman formations, I really shouldn't be. Zhao Li replied.

"But if you run into the Blood Sea Crazy Knife Gang..."

"The probability of this is not high, and I will try to be as careful as possible, if I really meet, I will tell them that if I ask for money now, there are only fifty taels of spirit stones, and when the big set is over, there will be five hundred taels of spirit stones." ”

"If only they could get there then. Zhao Li finally added and walked out the door.
