Chapter 103 Spells (Update 1)

Mo Hua thought, I drew the title so big that you can see it from a few feet away. What else do you want to ask? Can you be more pretentious?

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

The more Mo Hua refused, the more itchy Zhang Lan felt. He took a closer look, then pretended to have just seen the title and said:

"Collection of Qi Refining Spells", not bad, want to learn spells? Have you reached the fifth level of Qi Refining?"

"I just reached the fifth level, let me take a look first, there's no rush." ​​Mo Hua pretended to be calm.

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

"Uncle Zhang, are you a spiritual practitioner?"

"Well, I guess so."

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

Zhang Lan's face darkened, "What do you mean by half-baked? You are so young, where did you learn these messed up words?"

"I see that your blood is not weak, but I don't notice how strong your spiritual power is. Didn't I see it?" Mo Hua asked.

Zhang Lan said proudly: "I used magic to cover up my breath, of course you can't see it. If you can also see it, then my cultivation is in vain?"

"Oh, then is this considered spiritual and physical cultivation?" Mo Hua asked curiously.

"Spirit and physical cultivation is not that easy. I just practiced a little bit of my physical body to avoid being at a disadvantage when fighting with others. My main practice is magic. A cultivator who practices spiritual and physical cultivation must have both unique qualifications and the inheritance of a famous family, and a huge family background. You may not meet one in your lifetime." Zhang Lan sighed.

Mo Hua was shocked. Talent, inheritance, and family background were all required. These three conditions were far beyond Mo Hua's reach. He might not be able to achieve them even if he was reborn 10,000 times.

"Uncle Zhang, are you good at magic?"

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

"Then it's not very good."

Zhang Lan was very angry and knocked on Mo Hua's head. "I'm being modest, you know? Modest!"

Mo Hua rubbed his head and asked, "Who is better, you or Aunt Xue?"

"This," Zhang Lan hesitated, "How can I know if we haven't sparred?"

"Then do you know illusion?"

"Of course... no."

Mo Hua said, "Aunt Xue knows illusion, 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 magic to learn."

Zhang Lan said unconvinced, "I just don't know illusion, but my other magic is not weaker than hers."

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

"Qi Refining Spells, you can ask me any questions you have."

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

"What do you want to learn?" Zhang Lan asked.

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

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

Fireball, Water Arrow, Gold Blade, Earth and Stone...

All can be learned in the middle stage of Qi Refining. The spells are not difficult, and the spiritual power required for casting is not much.

Zhang Lan nodded and started to learn from the basic spells, not to be too ambitious. Mo Hua's vision is pretty good.

Many cultivators just want to learn those high-grade, powerful, or very rare spells when they first learn spells. Little did they know that the higher the grade, the more spiritual power is needed, the more powerful it is, and the longer it takes to cast the spell. The rarer the spell, the more demanding the conditions for learning it.

Let alone whether you can learn it or not, even if you can, one spell will consume more than half of your spiritual power. Once you can't hit someone, you can basically just sit and wait for death.

Zhang Lan stared at Mo Hua for a while, and suddenly realized a problem, "You picked all attacking spells?"

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, "If you don't learn attacking spells, what should you learn?"

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

"Yes," Mo Hua suddenly realized, "You must be able to save your life first. If you can't save your life, who can you attack?"

Qian Xing's incident also made him understand that a cultivator must have a way to save his life, otherwise he will fall into a passive deadlock if he suddenly encounters danger and has no power to protect himself.

"What are the spells for saving your life, the Golden Bell Cover?" Mo Hua asked humbly.

"The Golden Bell Cover is not bad, but it is not very useful to you."

"Why?" Mo Hua didn't understand.

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

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

"Part of it is because of your low cultivation, but the quality of your spiritual roots is average. If I'm not mistaken, the skills you learned don't add much to your spiritual power, so the spiritual power in your Qi Sea must be weaker than that of people at the same level."

Although Mo Hua didn't want to admit it, it seemed to be true.

Zhang Lan looked at Mo Hua and thought to himself that it was a good thing that your spiritual root talent was average. If your spiritual root talent was average with your formation talent, what would happen in the future?

Sure enough, the way of heaven is still relatively fair.

Zhang Lan continued to explain: "If your spiritual power is weak, even if you cast defensive spells such as the Golden Bell Cover, you can't hold out for long. When your spiritual power is exhausted, you can only sit and wait for death."

"And the Golden Bell Cover must foresee the danger in advance and activate the spiritual power in advance. Once you are attacked and don't have time to cast it, then this spell is the same as not learning it."

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

You also have a time to worry, so you don't want to ask me!

Zhang Lan was secretly proud for a while.

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

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

"Body skills?"

"If you learn defensive spells such as the Golden Bell Cover, you can only withstand the attack..." 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, dodge when you retreat, and even run if you really can't." Zhang Lan said.

"Will there be any 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, or if you are not careful for a moment and someone catches your flaw, you are basically in danger."

"That's 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, and for body skills spells, , once someone finds a flaw, he will be a fish on the chopping board. But the body skills can at least advance and retreat. If you learn the Golden Bell Cover, then you really can't be stopped or run away..."

"Have you thought about it?"

"Yes, I will learn body skills."

Zhang Lan nodded, "It's quite smart. Since it can't be perfect, I can only play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses."

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