Chapter 538: Discussion Conference
For ascetics in the Foundation Establishment Realm, the spells that can be mastered and cast are extremely limited. The introductory spells of the Five Elements spells are called Wu Yin, which are fire, water, sand, gold and wood. These five introductory spells are only for the ascetics to be able to arouse the power of the five elements proficiently and lay the foundation for more advanced spells in the future, so they basically have no attack power.
After the five spells, there are fireball, flying stone, water light, solidification, and vegetation regeneration. These five spells, Fireball and Flying Stone are offensive spells, Water Light is a defensive spell, Fortification is a blessing spell, and Vegetation Revival is not used to heal people, but to promote vegetation.
In fact, strictly speaking, these five spells are to condense the attracted power of the five elements, or throw them out, or block them.
For example, Fireball and Flying Stones are throwing out the power of fire and earth. The water light technique is to block a ball of water in front of the body, blocking the attack for the caster. The strengthening technique is to apply the power of the golden element to weapons and armor to increase the firmness of weapons and armor. The Vegetation Revitalization Technique is to throw the power of wood on the vegetation. It is generally used in the cultivation of herbs to promote the growth of vegetation.
These are the ten kinds of spells that the cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Realm can master and cast. Although there are still some small changes, they will be the same no matter how they change. Among these ten kinds of spells, fireball can be said to be the only kind of offensive spell with good power, and it is also the most commonly used by foundation-building monks. As for the Flying Stone Technique, it really doesn't hurt much to hit someone, it's just a means to interfere with the opponent.
That's why Ye Zan used the fireball technique as an example in the first class he taught the inner disciples. No matter how advanced the spell is, even if he speaks it out, those disciples who are only at the Foundation Establishment level will not have such a deep feeling at all. On the contrary, this fireball technique, under the action of the incendiary agent, greatly increases its power, which will be extremely attractive to these inner disciples.
Of course, Ye Zan is not helpless with other spells. For example, the flying stone technique is to throw a stone to hit people, but if you think about the shape of the stone and the throwing technique, you can also make the flying stone have a certain power. There is also the only protection spell, water light, if the static water flow in the water film can form a rotating vortex, it will also improve the protection ability.
People in this world naturally do not simply accumulate mana when studying spells, they also have extremely in-depth research on skills.
It's just that, in terms of skills, people in this world place more emphasis on experience, rather than calculating an optimal result through research on all conditions.
Just like those martial arts and swordsmanship, the reason why those moves are finalized as moves is the result of thousands of actual combats and a lot of experience accumulated by the predecessors. However, if you ask why this trick is easier to exert force and why it is more suitable for the flow of true energy, few people may be able to answer it in the form of data.
What is the approach of the tech world? For a move, which muscle groups need to be mobilized, how to use the leverage principle to maximize the strength, what is the moving distance of the shot, how to convert the strength into kinetic energy to the maximum extent, and so on.
Therefore, it can be said that most of the knowledge in this world belongs to experience. Through thousands of times of casting spells, one can find the casting technique that can achieve the best effect. As for why this technique is the best, it can only be proved by comparing the results. For example, the lightning method in advanced spells, they can use a lot of experience to find out the strongest attack method of lightning method, but they don't necessarily understand the relationship between voltage and current, and the principle of causing harm to the human body.
And this also gave Ye Zan a space to play. It's not that the products of those experiences are necessarily bad, but not all of them are perfect. Therefore, it is reasonable for Ye Zan to come up with a better spellcasting scheme with precise calculation and analysis, coupled with the application of some scientific principles.
Although, the people who came to listen to Ye Zan's lectures expanded from ordinary inner disciples to direct disciples, and then to Jindan Grandmasters, and finally even the Yuanying Patriarch. However, Ye Zan did not change the content of the lecture. He did not directly talk about the use of those advanced spells just because those Jindan Grandmasters and Yuanying Patriarchs could cast more advanced spells. Instead, he continued to talk about these elementary spells, and even gave a more detailed analysis and explanation of the Five Yin Techniques.
However, those Jindan Grandmasters and Yuanying Patriarchs did not give up attending the lectures because of this, and they listened to Ye Zan's lectures very seriously every time. They found that although Ye Zan talked about the use of magic, some principles were used in it, which was also quite helpful for them to understand the way of the five elements.
What is "Tao" actually? Isn't it the law of the existence and operation of all things in the world! And those scientific theorems and laws brought by Ye Zan from the world of science and technology, aren't they essentially descriptions of some rules? Although the theorems and laws of the technological world may not be able to perfectly explain the existence of "Tao" in this world, they can at least serve as an important reference.
Of course, Ye Zan is not a scientific and technological worker, nor is he a science lecturer, so many things may not be clear. Especially for some things, even if he copied them over, he still couldn't give an impeccable explanation based on the various aspects of this world. Those Jindan Grandmasters and Yuanying Patriarchs are not blind listeners, and they are often able to put forward their own ideas and doubts to Ye Zan in response to those situations.
This made it possible for Ye Zan to gain a lot by himself while teaching others. In discussions with other people, Ye Zan was able to see his own deficiencies, know the deviations in his thinking, and make up for and perfect his own theory.
In a blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.
Ye Zan did not delay his own practice while preaching and teaching. The Nascent Soul chapter of "The Wonderful Sutra of Dongxu Lingquan" has been completed to a great extent. The one hundred and eight acupoints in the physical body correspond to the acupoints in Yuanying's body. A large amount of mana is stored in the acupoints, and continues to increase in the continuous circulation. Originally, Ye Zan was worried about the three-headed and six-armed acupoint and spiritual spring, but it was naturally resolved, but it was just a matter of connecting several points.
However, what makes those inner disciples feel regretful is that after such a long time together, even though all the disciples are very familiar with Ye Zan, none of them have been accepted by Ye Zan as a personal disciple.
These inner disciples didn't know how terrible Ye Zan's seniority was, they only thought that Ye Zan was the junior brother of the Great Elder Mo Rushi. Mo Ru was able to accept Qi Qianjun back then, so Ye Zan naturally recruited disciples from among them, so there shouldn't be any taboos. But in fact, let alone inner disciples like them, with Ye Zan's seniority, even those Golden Core Grandmasters are probably not qualified to be his disciples.
Over the past year or so, Transcendent has gradually replaced Transcendent and become the mainstream communication tool for ascetics in this world. This also makes the application software in Qianli Zhuanshen have more users, and various social platforms are no longer just a few kittens. On the video platform, many ascetics have started to play various live broadcasts, and use this to win some rewards.
Of course, unlike the world of science and technology, no matter how rich the ascetics in this world are, they don't reward tens of millions at once. After all, spirit stone talisman money is not only currency, but also an important resource for cultivating Taoism. Few people will spend a lot of money just because of watching a live broadcast. However, even if there are not many rewards, at least many people who do live broadcasts have a good extra income, so the competition in this industry has gradually become more and more fierce.
In addition to live video, news platforms and social platforms are also popular with these ascetics. The news platform, in addition to free news, also has regular pushes for paid subscriptions. Many users choose this consumption, and they don’t spend much money anyway. And social platforms, such as some forums, also have a lot of users, chatting and even fighting have become the daily routine of many ascetics.
With the rise of these things, online payment has also been accepted by more people. As long as both parties have thousands of miles of vividness, as long as both parties have opened the network payment, the transaction can be easily carried out. Moreover, in this kind of transaction, there is no need to worry about the wear and tear of the spirit stone and the rune money. In the end, they can get high-quality spirit stones or rune money from the bank.
However, in the past year or so, some things have not changed much, such as the popularity of spiritual rice. More than a year is only enough for two seasons of spiritual rice to barely mature, so in some sects, the supply of spiritual rice is still in short supply. After all, the seeds of spiritual rice will degenerate with the generation of planting, so Yu Qingzong has always controlled the business of spiritual rice seeds.
Fortunately, Yu Qingzong was not greedy, the price of Lingdao seeds was not very high, and at the same time, he also invited Tianbaozong to do this kind of seed business, which did not attract too much hostility from the sect.
Then there is the construction of rail transit. Although it has not yet reached the level of spreading across the domain, it can be regarded as more than half of the project has been completed. Especially later, those second- and third-rate sects of Dajin Kingdom spared no effort to participate in the construction project, which greatly improved the progress of the project.
On this day, Ye Zan finished the inner sect's lecture, and instead of leaving alone as usual, he followed Wu Changsheng silently all the way to the main hall of Yu Qingzong.
Wu Changsheng walked in front, and Ye Zan followed him all the way, making his heart tremble. He turned his head to look at the other party from time to time, but he didn't see any reaction from the other party. When he came to the main hall, Wu Changsheng looked at Ye Zan who was sitting on the side, and couldn't bear it any longer, and asked, "Uncle Master is following you all the way, but what do you want to tell me?"
Ye Zan picked up the teacup on the table and looked at it, then put the teacup back, but did not give any answer to Wu Changsheng's question.
Wu Changsheng's heart became more and more uncertain, a stiff smile appeared on his face, and he continued to ask: "Master, what's the matter, can you tell me, your silence makes me feel a little flustered. "
Ye Zan raised his eyelids, glanced at Wu Changsheng in a rather listless manner, reached out his hand and took out a copy of Qianli Express from his bosom, swiped his finger on it twice, and then turned the screen to Wu Changsheng. However, after doing all this, he still didn't say anything, just let the other party look at his vivid screen, and he just looked away.
Wu Changsheng shook his head helplessly, so he had to turn his gaze to the screen, but saw a forum interface displayed on the screen, one of which had a red and bold title at the top that was particularly eye-catching. The Northwest Daomen Discussion Conference will be held soon." Seeing this, he couldn't help cursing inwardly, although the network is good and bad, but the problem is also obvious, that is, it basically can't hide things.
The so-called Northwest Daomen refers to the area where Yuqingzong is located, including Ziyangzong, Wanxiangzong, Yundingzong and other second-rate sects. Such a Dao Discussion Conference can be regarded as a Daoist event in the entire Shenhua Domain.
As such a grand event was going to be held, Yu Qingzong, as a second-rate sect, naturally should have been notified earlier, and should have already made preparations to participate. However, Ye Zan didn't hear any rumors, and only learned about the Dao Discussion Conference from this online forum, so it's no wonder that he behaved like this.
Seeing this, Wu Changsheng immediately understood why Ye Zan reacted in this way, so he could only explain with a wry smile: "Uncle Master, this Dao Discussion Conference is just a gathering of people from various sects to exchange their experience in cultivating Dao. It's very boring. Uncle Shi is teaching in the inner sect now, so he probably doesn't have time to attend such boring gatherings, so I didn't inform you."
"Hehe." Ye Zan didn't say much, just replied these two times.
Wu Changsheng is no stranger to the Internet, so he naturally knows what kind of emotions these two "hehe" often represent. He stood up, came to Ye Zan in embarrassment, and continued to explain: "Master, I didn't inform you of this news. It is true that I didn't think carefully, so please calm down. But, this discussion The meeting is indeed meaningless, and I waited for it with good intentions."
"I can see this news from the forum, so can't I see what this conference is about?" Ye Zan said, looking sideways at Wu Changsheng. In fact, he knew in his heart that Wu Changsheng and the others didn't tell him the news because they were afraid that he would leave the mountain and go wandering again. However, he has been living on this mountain for more than a year. Although it is not boring to teach all day long, how can he not go to see such a grand event as the Dao Conference.
"Uncle, do you really want to participate in this conference?" Wu Changsheng said helplessly. In fact, since Ye Zan knew the news, he knew that it was impossible to stop Ye Zan from leaving the mountain. After all, with Ye Zan's seniority, no one could force him to stay on this mountain forever.
