Chapter 15: Practicing Spells
The more Li Muran looked at it, the more frightened he became, if the sect tasks mentioned in these classics were all related, then they had lasted for at least hundreds of years, and it is likely that they still exist to this day.
And the "sect mission" mentioned by Master Zixia Daoren is likely to be the same.
Although I don't know the specific content of this sect's mission, one thing is certain - the danger is not small.
Li Muran originally devoted himself to cultivation, whether it was making talismans and selling talismans, or looking for exercises, it was all to facilitate his own cultivation, but now, he had to think about it more.
Li Muran knew that for these disciples, the cultivation content could be roughly divided into two parts, one was to cultivate vitality and improve cultivation, and the other was to cultivate spells and improve the strength of fighting methods.
Spells are the use of the heaven and earth vitality that they have cultivated, that is, their own mana, in a specific way, into various magical powers such as flames, water columns, and wooden thorns, which are used to cast spells to attack the enemy.
To cultivate spells, you must first cultivate mana, and the deeper the mana, the more powerful the spell can be cast. Simple low-level spells, there are already many disciples who are cultivating—after all, many disciples embark on the path of cultivation for the dazzling magic powers.
Li Muran has never started to practice spells, for him, it is not easy to accumulate his own mana, and he is reluctant to use it to cast spells. But considering that dangerous sect mission, he had to practice spells, and at least he had to have some self-protection skills.
"It's better to prepare early than to cram. Li Muran said secretly.
With his current mana, there are only a few kinds of spells that can be cultivated, all of which are the most basic Dao Gate spells with the attributes of the Five Elements.
"What kind of attribute spell should I cultivate?" Li Muran still needed to think carefully.
If it is a disciple who uses the fire attribute to open the light talisman, he naturally chooses to cultivate the fire attribute spell, when the cultivation spell is consistent with his own ancestral divine light, not only will the cultivation be more smooth, but the power of the spell will also be stronger. If you cultivate spells with other attributes, you won't have any advantages, and even, the five elements will restrain each other, and if you cultivate spells with similar attributes, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
But Li Muran didn't know what the origin of his weird ancestral divine light was, and he had no way to choose based on it.
"Since there is no advantage in cultivating spells of any attribute, then simply ignore this and only choose the spells that are most needed to cultivate. Li Muran said to himself helplessly.
There are hundreds of books on the introduction of various Daomen spells in the library pavilion, among which there are several books about the most basic spells, and they are introduced very carefully, so there are no problems in terms of mantra exercises.
Several classics have mentioned that among the five elemental Dao Gate spells, the "Fire Explosion Technique" with the fire attribute has the strongest attack power, while the "Stone Armor Technique" with the earth attribute is recognized as the best defensive spell.
One offense and one defense is exactly what Li Muran needs most. Li Muran decided to concentrate on cultivating these two spells first.
As for other spells such as "Wave Strike Technique", "Vine Wrapping Technique", and "Golden Light Technique", they naturally also have their effects, but Li Muran knows that he is distracted, and he does not dare to spread them all out at once to cultivate one by one, if he has spare strength in the future, it is not too late to cultivate again.
Li Muran found the spell mantra from the classics and memorized it by heart.
Anyway, no one patronized the Library Pavilion today, so Li Muran simply closed the door of the Library Pavilion, and he practiced the Flame Explosion Technique in the open space in front of the door.
He didn't dare to cultivate in the library pavilion, in case one accidentally burned some classics, it would be a big deal, and he would definitely be severely punished by the sect.
The vitality in his body came from the cultivation in the past few months, although the cultivation was slow, but he had also accumulated some, according to the records in the classics, it should be enough to practice the Flame Explosion Technique. According to the main points of the mantra, he compressed some of the vital energy in his body according to the law, and gathered it in his right arm through several key acupuncture points and meridians.
Then, as long as he pinched the thumb and middle finger of his right hand together, and with a flick of it, he shot out this vitality, and it could turn into a fist-sized flame and burst open.
However, Li Muran tried several times, but each time the vitality was not well mobilized, and before it could be condensed in his arm, it had already collapsed to all the meridians in his body;
Li Muran's tired arms were sore, his whole body was sweating profusely, and some of the vitality he had finally accumulated had also consumed a lot, but he didn't succeed once, at most he just made a wisp of bean-sized flames on his fingers.
Although it was just a wisp of fire, it also made Li Muran quite happy. He tested the power of the flame with a branch the thickness of an arm. As a result, as soon as the branch came into contact with the flame, it immediately burned all over its body like lamp oil on fire, and with just a breath of effort, the branch burned completely, leaving only a faint trace of dust in its place.
Li Muran was startled, the power of this flame was far beyond his imagination. Moreover, such a big branch, if it was burned as firewood, there would definitely be a lot of firewood ash left, but now it only leaves a very small amount of dust, which is enough to show that the flame turned into his mana burns the branch more quickly and thoroughly, far from being comparable to the secular flame!
Li Muran also tried it with the rocks and stones around him, and the result was that although he only sacrificed a small flame, he could burn a fist-sized rock into flying ashes, which showed that the power of the flame was extraordinary.
"It's worthy of the fire of spells, it's really as powerful as it says in the classics!" Li Muran exclaimed.
Although the practice of spells during the day was not smooth, Li Muran was not discouraged, he had heard Qing Fengzi say that it usually takes several days of hard work to slowly figure out and practice before he can successfully cast spells.
That night, after Li Muran meditated for an hour, he began to try to practice the flame explosion technique on the empty mountain and rocky ground in front of the library pavilion.
At night, Li Muran's body was full of vitality and mana, which was a good time to practice spells.
Li Muran ran according to the mantra to compress the vitality in his body, a qiē surprisingly smooth, a majestic vitality was quickly compressed and gathered in his arm, as he stretched out his fingers and flicked lightly, it shot out, turning into a fist-sized flame outside Zhangxu, and immediately burst with a "boom", a scorching wave of air rushed from the explosion to the surroundings, Li Muran couldn't avoid it, and was immediately rushed back a few steps by this heat wave and fell to the ground.
"Success!" Li Muran couldn't believe what he saw, the explosive flame he had just sacrificed was indeed the flame explosion technique recorded in the classics, and its power should not be underestimated!
"It's only been half a day of practice, and you can perform the Flame Explosion Technique! This is simply a rumored cultivation genius!" Li Muran was extremely surprised.
Li Muran tried again, and as he stretched out his fingers, another flash of fire, and then a "boom" burst into flames. This time, Li Muran was prepared and hid behind a big rock in time and was not affected by the heat wave.
"It's so smooth!" Li Muran felt that these two spells were like a matter of course, and he didn't encounter many difficulties at all, and he was like two people casting spells during the day.
Without much guessing, Li Muran immediately concluded that this must have something to do with his special ancestral divine light.
"My cultivation qualifications are really weird. In the daytime, not only is the spiritual light of the ancestral trick dim, but the cultivation is also extremely slow, the mana is not running smoothly, and it is difficult to guide the casting of spells, but at night, it is like divine help, the efficiency is extremely high, and the casting of spells is also doubly smooth!" Li Muran sighed: "It's a pity, but the vitality of cultivation at night will dissipate by itself when it reaches dawn!"
Li Muran tried the stone armor technique again, but after only practicing two or three times, he was able to successfully cast the spell. Now he only needs to use his mana, gather it in the palm of his hand, and then gently pat it on his chest, and suddenly that vitality will turn into a layer of transparent stone armor that is inch thick, like a layer of spiritual light, protecting his whole body.
This layer of stone armor does not isolate the breath, but it can be invulnerable, invulnerable, and invulnerable, which makes Li Muran very satisfied.
"However, you can only cast spells at night, this is not the way to do it after all! If you encounter danger during the day, won't you have no means to deal with it!" Thinking of this, Li Muran began to think again.
There is a way to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and this has to be taken into account.
However, Li Muran quickly thought of a solution - after all, he was a disciple of the Yuan Fu Sect, and the housekeeping skill of the Yuan Fu Sect monks was talisman making!
As long as the spell is made into a spell rune, the problem he encounters can be solved.
A spell rune is a rune that seals some kind of magic power, such as a rune that seals the flame explosion spell, which is a fire burst rune. If you have a Flame Burst Talisman in hand, you only need to use a little mana to unlock the seal on the talisman, and you can turn the Flame Burst Talisman into a Flame Burst Technique, which is also very convenient to use.
To make a flame burst talisman, you need to inject the mana that turns into a flame burst into the rune, and seal it with a specific rune to become a complete rune. Therefore, spell casting and talisman making are basically carried out at the same time, and the requirements for both are high.
Li Muran's basic skills in talisman making are solid, and the spell casting is also very smooth, as for the mana consumed - anyway, the mana cultivated at night will disappear, so there is no need to use it in vain!
So from all aspects, it seems that making some spell talismans for self-defense seems to be a good choice.
The runes of the fire explosion charm can be found in the classics; however, the energy contained in the flame explosion charm has been specially compressed and transformed, which is much more violent than the yuan qi in the yuan qi charm, so the requirements for the rune paper are also higher.
"Let's go to the Fang Market tomorrow to buy some second-order rune paper!" Li Muran decided to close the library tomorrow and rest for a day, so he could take the opportunity to go to the Fang Market.
