Chapter 103 Spells (Update 1)

Mo Hua thought to himself, I deliberately made the title of the book so large that it can be seen from several feet away. What else do you want to ask about the book? Can this pretentious look be any more fake?

"No, I'll just take a look." Mo Hua said.

The more Mo Hua refused to agree, the more Zhang Lan felt itchy. He took a closer look, then pretended to see the title of the book and said:

"The "Collection of Qi Refining Spells" is pretty good. Want to learn spells? Have you reached the fifth level of Qi Refining?"

"We just arrived on the fifth floor. Let me take a look first. There's no rush." ​​Mo Hua pretended to be calm.

"How's it going? Do you want me to teach you?" Zhang Lan raised his eyebrows.

"Uncle Zhang, are you a spiritual practitioner?"

"Well, that's right."

"What do you mean... half-baked?" Mo Hua said.

Zhang Lan's face darkened, "What are you half-hearted about? Where did you learn these messy words at such a young age?"

"I see you are not weak in blood, but I didn't realize how strong your spiritual power is. Did I not see it?" Mo Hua asked.

Zhang Lan said proudly: "I used magic to cover up my aura. Of course you can't see it. If you can also see it, wouldn't all my cultivation be in vain?"

"Oh, do you think you have dual cultivation of spirit and body?" Mo Hua asked curiously.

"It's not that easy to cultivate both spirit and body. I just trained my physical body a little to avoid being approached by physical practitioners when fighting with others. My major is still spells. A monk who cultivates both spirit and body needs both unique qualifications and Zhang Lan sighed with the inheritance of a famous family and a wealthy family.

Mo Hua is astonishing. He needs talent, inheritance, and family background. None of these three conditions are as great as a barrier to Mo Hua. Even if he is reincarnated ten thousand times, he may not be able to succeed even once.

"Uncle Zhang, are you good at magic?"

Zhang Lan said proudly: "It's okay, just so-so."

"That just doesn't work."

Zhang Lan was so angry that he knocked Mo Hua on the head, "Do you understand that I am being humble? I am being humble!"

Mo Hua rubbed his little head and asked, "Which one is more powerful, you or Aunt Xue?"

"Is this it?" Zhang Lan hesitated, "I have never sparred with each other, how do I know?"

"Then do you know how to perform illusions?"

"of course not."

Mo Hua said: "Aunt Xue knows magic, but you don't, so you are definitely not as good as Aunt Xue! I'll ask Aunt Xue when I have time to see what kind of magic is best to learn."

Zhang Lan was dissatisfied and said: "I just don't know how to use illusions. Other spells are not weaker than hers."

"Really?" Mo Hua looked at Zhang Lan suspiciously.

"Qi refining period spell, you can ask me any questions you have."

"Okay, then if I want to learn magic now, which one should I learn?"

"Is there anything you want to learn?" Zhang Lan asked.

Mo Hua handed the "Collection of Qi Refining Spells" to Zhang Lan, "I picked a few spells, you can see which one is better to learn first.

Zhang Lan took the book and flipped through it a few times. He saw several spells on it and circled them with a pen.

Fireball, water arrow, gold blade, earth and stone...

They can all be learned in the middle stage of Qi refining. The spells are not difficult and the spiritual power required to cast them is not too much.

Zhang Lan nodded and started to learn basic spells. It was not good to aim too high, but Mo Hua had a pretty good vision.

Many monks just want to learn spells that are high-level, powerful, or rare. Little did they know that a higher level required more spiritual power, greater power, and longer casting time. The rarer the spell, the more demanding the conditions for learning it were.

Not to mention whether you can learn it, even if you learn it, a single spell will consume more than half of your body's spiritual energy. Once you fail to hit someone, you can basically just sit back and wait for death.

Zhang Lan stared at the ink paintings for a while and suddenly realized a question, "Are the spells you picked all attack-type spells?"

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, "If you don't learn attack spells, then what are you going to learn?"

"Don't you think about how to save your life?"

"That's right," Mo Hua suddenly realized, "You have to save your life first. If you can't save your life, who else can you attack?"

Qian Xing's incident also made him understand that monks must have means to save their lives. Otherwise, if they are suddenly in danger and have no ability to protect themselves, they will fall into a passive deadlock.

"What are the life-saving spells, the golden bell?" Mo Hua asked humbly.

"The golden bell is not bad, but it won't be of much use to you."

"Why?" Mo Hua didn't understand.

Zhang Lan looked at Mo Hua with a slightly disgusted look, "Don't you realize that your spiritual power is actually not strong?"

"That's because my cultivation level is low." Mo Hua argued with reason.

"Part of it is because your cultivation level is low, but the quality of your spiritual roots is mediocre. If I'm not wrong, the exercises you learned don't add much to spiritual power, so the spiritual power in your Qi Sea will definitely be higher than Those in the same realm are weaker."

Although Mo Hua didn't want to admit it, it seemed that this was indeed true.

Zhang Lan looked at the ink painting and thought to himself that your spiritual talent is just average. If your spiritual talent is as good as formation talent, how can you pay it off in the future?

Sure enough, the way of heaven is relatively fair.

Zhang Lan continued to explain: "If your spiritual power is weak, even if you cast defensive spells such as the Golden Bell, it won't last long. When your spiritual power is exhausted, you will still have to sit back and wait for death."

"Furthermore, the Golden Bell must predict the danger in advance and activate the spiritual power in advance. Once it is attacked by a sneak attack and has no time to cast, it will be the same as not having learned the spell."

Mo Hua was worried, "Then what should I learn?"

You must be worried sometimes, so you don’t want to ask me!

Zhang Lan was secretly proud for a while.

All the problems in the Qi Refining Stage are minor problems... as long as they don't involve formations.

Zhang Lan put on airs for a while, then said to Mo Hua: "You can learn body skills."

"Body skills?"

"If you learn defensive spells like the Golden Bell Cover, you can only take the attack head-on..." Zhang Lan glanced at Mo Hua, "but your body and spiritual power can't really withstand it."

Mo Hua nodded in agreement.

"So, if you learn body skills, you can attack when you advance, hide when you retreat, and even run if you really can't." Zhang Lan said.

"Will there be no disadvantages?"

"Of course there are disadvantages. When you use defensive spells, you can at least take a few hits before your spiritual power is exhausted. But when you use body skills to dodge, either your footwork is clever and you are unscathed. Otherwise, if you are not careful for a moment and someone catches your weakness, you are basically in danger."

"That is equivalent to being attacked by others without any preparation, is that right?"

"Yes."

Mo Hua hesitated for a moment and said, "For defensive spells, once your spiritual power is exhausted, you will be at the mercy of others. For body skills spells, , once someone finds a flaw, he will be a fish on the chopping board. But at least his body skills can be used to advance and retreat. If he learns the Golden Bell Cover, then he really can't be stopped or run away..."

"Have you thought about it?"

"Yes, I'll learn body skills."

Zhang Lan nodded, "You're quite smart. Since it's impossible to be perfect, you can only play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."

Zhang Lan picked up the "Collection of Qi Refining Magical Techniques" and flipped through it, then picked up the pen on the table and ticked off a few body skills. He was about to let Mo Hua choose one to practice, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.

These body skills are common body skills in the Qi Refining period. It's no problem for Mo Hua to learn them, but since they are common body skills, he can teach them, and others can teach them too. How can this show that he is superior?

Today is still the fifth update.

Happy May Day everyone.
