Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

The three prefectures in the Dharma Association each have their own strengths. Nanhezhou is good at spiritual planting, Juyanzhou is good at alchemy, and Xiniuzhou is best at talismans.

After leaving the Lingtian, disciples from Xiniuzhou will demonstrate how to make talismans.

"There are three treasures in talisman, talisman pen, talisman paper, cinnabar..."

The disciples spread out the talisman papers on the prepared table and explained the way while grinding the cinnabar.

Talismans and magic circles are essentially spells.

It's just that the talisman is to engrave spells on talisman paper, monster skins, and jade slips, and monks use spiritual power to stimulate them.

The magic circle is arranged on the ground or on a large magic weapon, driven by spirit veins and spirit stones, and it is more complicated.

For example, there are divine movement spells in spells, and divine movement talismans in talismans, and the effect is the same.

Compared with spells, talismans have two irreplaceable benefits.

First, talismans allow monks to cast spells that they do not know.

There are more than three thousand ways of Taoism. It is impossible for a monk to practice all the spells. With the talisman, he can get started directly.

The second is fast casting.

Unless the spells have been cultivated to the level of Dacheng, monks have to pinch formulas and chant incantations when casting spells, and they cannot be cast instantly.

The talisman is to compress the spells on the talisman paper, which saves the time of making formulas and chanting incantations, which is extremely beneficial in fighting skills.

However, talismans also have disadvantages.

Talismans are one-time use and lose their effectiveness after use, and the spells cast with talismans can only reach the proficiency level at most.

Talismans are divided into upper, middle and lower grades, corresponding to proficiency, minor success, and proficiency in spell attainment respectively.

It is impossible for a talisman to reach the level of Dacheng or even Consummation.

The process of making talismans seems to only consume some talisman paper and cinnabar, which is almost costless, but it is not.

Making talismans is equivalent to casting spells continuously. Making a talisman consumes more spiritual and mental power than casting spells, and there is a chance of failure.

A talisman master can only make a limited number of talismans a day, and any more will affect his own cultivation.

"Who is going to try this talisman?"

After about half a quarter of an hour, the disciple who passed on the practice made the talisman and said to everyone with a smile.

Zhu Cong was the first to raise his hand, "Can I try?"

"it is good."

The disciple passed the talisman to Zhu Cong, and said: "This is a low-grade stone bullet talisman, input enough spiritual power, and point it at a place where there is no one else."

Zhu Cong took the talisman, only to see dozens of complicated and mysterious runes written on it, and the spiritual flow could be vaguely seen.

Spiritual power was released from the palm, and he slapped hard.

Whoa!
With a flick of the talisman, a silver light immediately lit up, and the runes on it also became distorted.

Zhu Cong pointed to the opposite hillside.

A streak of yellow smoke flew out of the talisman paper, turning into a dozen fist-sized stone bullets, whistling and hitting the hillside, making a series of bang bang sounds.

"So simple!"

"Yeah, it's really convenient!"

The disciple who saw the talisman for the first time let out a burst of admiration.

Zhu Cong looked at his palm, feeling incredible, and then looked at the talisman paper, only a mass of embers remained.

Next, the disciples visited various places in Dongyang County.

The disciples who passed on the practice demonstrated alchemy, refining tools, formations, bamboo slips, puppets and other Taoist arts one after another, and even went in to visit the spiritual dining room.

At the end of the day, the disciples saw dozens of Daoist arts, and they all felt that their eyes were wide open.

"Brother Zhao, have you decided on which Taoist art to choose?"

Li Sancai was dazzled and couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Zhao Lin in a low voice.

"If you want to earn more spiritual stones, you must choose among Taoism, alchemy, and weapon refining. However, the threshold of these three arts is not low, and there are many people who practice them. If you want to achieve something, you have to work hard for at least 20 years."

"Although Taoism such as spiritual planting, animal husbandry, tea and wine is hard work, it is better than being stable, and it is also a good choice if you have time to practice."

"There are few people practicing unpopular arts, and the competition is relatively small, but the occasions for using them are limited."

In fact, Zhao Lin didn't think about it. He has a spiritual cultivation map and needs to consume a lot of spiritual stones. Naturally, he is most concerned about which Taoist art earns more spiritual stones.

But on the other hand, he is 32 years old this year, and cultivation is the most important thing, and there is no kind of Taoism that can take both aspects into consideration.

Or why don't you just stop learning Taoism and focus on killing, and only do high-risk sect tasks?

"This is the end of today's performance. After seeing so many Daoist arts, do you know which one to practice next year?"

Leading everyone back to the Lingdao Academy, Pang Zhangyuan of Dongyang County said with a smile, "Tomorrow's fight is only for the exchange of fun, the outcome is not important."

Hearing this, the other two masters curled their lips.

It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, you send a sword repairer out?

Pooh!
……

call out!
The ice knife drove straight in the air, turned suddenly, drew an arc, and cut a moth attracted by the light.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Lin was practicing ice skates in the yard.

After two nights of practice, his ice skate skills have reached the first level, and he can adjust the direction to track the target at any time, and his accuracy has also been greatly improved.

"It's so fast! If you practice on your own, it will take a year or two to reach this level."

Zhao Lin sighed, truly realizing the preciousness of the Spiritual Cultivation Map.

Compared with spending a lot of time and energy on practicing spells for years and months, dozens or hundreds of spirit stones are nothing at all.

With this minor success-level spell, he is full of confidence in tomorrow's fight.

After training until Zi Chou made friends, Zhao Lin went back to his room to rest.

The next day, in the Yanfa Pavilion.

The Lingdao Academy in Dongyang County has a huge stone room with a radius of more than fifty feet. It is usually used for practicing spells and can also be used as a venue for fighting skills.

Today, many monks from Dongyang County who heard the news came to watch the fight in the three states. Together with more than 600 disciples, the venue was completely surrounded.

"In order to ensure the safety of the fighting techniques, the old man has arranged a formation of wood and earth, and the disciples who will come to the stage later can fight with all their strength without worrying about causing casualties."

The elder Chuangong of Dongyang County stood in the center of the venue, slightly arched his hands to everyone and said.

"What magic circle is so powerful?"

"Is there such a magic circle?"

It was the first time for many disciples to watch a formal fight, and they couldn't help asking.

It was the first time Zhao Lin, Li Sancai and others heard about it, and they all looked at Dong Lingcheng.

"The wood-soil phase generation formation is a magic formation specially researched for the disciples of the sect to fight."

Dong Lingcheng explained: "The wood master grows hair and has the ability to perceive vitality. If someone in the formation is in danger, the magic circle will be activated immediately."

"Then use the power of the earth to move the monks who are in danger of their lives out of the formation."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, "Wood and Earth Synergy Formation is the best choice for the martial arts competition of various sects, and it can avoid unnecessary casualties for monks."

"After all, spells and treasures have no eyes, and even the monks at the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Purple Mansion Realm may not be able to make a move at the critical moment."

"The formation is magical and amazing!"

Zhao Lin said with emotion, the thought array is the most amazing and complicated skill of comprehension, and it is also the cornerstone of the world of Taoism.

Regardless of whether you choose this Taoist art or not, it is necessary to understand it in depth.

"Come on, test the magic circle."

The elder Chuan Gong waved his hand to the sidelines, and immediately a disciple was holding a goat and placed it in the field. (end of this chapter)
