After the Skyfall

Chapter 553 Teaching Spells
Li Yi kept his previous promise and passed the invisibility technique to the white ape. There were countless such small spells recorded in his Taoist magic book. He had no time to study them on weekdays. He would only take out the Taoist magic book to look through it in his spare time.

Although invisibility is a minor spell, it is still quite precious in this world where people become gods through worshipping incense.

The white ape was learning with great pleasure. Although there was no way to hide its tail, it learned a trick. That was to hold the ancient sword tightly in its hand, and then with a ruthless heart, it cut off its tail.

Although it grimaced in pain, when it used the invisibility spell again, it really worked.

The invisibility technique was successful, and the flaw in the tail disappeared.

"I have mastered the art of invisibility." The white ape said happily, not caring at all about the blood pooling behind him.

Li Yi looked a little surprised.

Can you do this?

Cutting off the tail when it can't be invisible is really extreme.

However, this also indirectly shows that the white ape's determination to pursue the Tao is far greater than that of ordinary people, and its comprehension is not bad either. It learned a small magic spell in just a moment. Although the white ape has some cultivation experience, its talent is undeniable.

"The spirits born and raised by nature have great potential to become powerful. If they were stupid, they would have died of old age in the mountains and forests long ago. How could they become spirits and cause trouble?" Li Yi thought to himself. Then he had some thoughts and said, "White Ape, I see that you have not had a hard time practicing and have a firm heart for the Tao. I will give you another magic spell. Are you willing to learn it?"

"I'm willing to learn, but I don't know what magic you want to teach me?" The white ape's eyes lit up, and he excitedly dropped the ancient sword in his hand, and knelt down in front of Li Yi, then bowed like a human.

Li Yi said calmly: "I am proficient in countless magic spells, big and small, including wall-walking, invisibility, underground escape, house-building, dream-entering, and illusion. You choose one, and I will teach you."

"So many spells?"

The white ape was surprised and happy. He wanted to choose a spell but didn't know which one.

But soon, it turned its eyes and said immediately: "I want to learn the fire-breathing technique that the Taoist priest just used."

That raging fire spit out monsters all over the sky, and all the ghosts and gods were burned to death on the ground. It was extremely powerful. Even if the sword skills in its hand were practiced for another hundred years, it would never be able to do this.

Li Yi smiled upon hearing this: "You want to learn the Wind Calling Technique? Unfortunately, even if I wanted to teach you, you wouldn't be able to learn it. It takes at least several decades to comprehend and learn that technique, and it can't be performed by someone who is not very powerful. So, I will teach you the Fire Breathing Technique, which will satisfy your wish. Come closer and listen."

He gestured to the white ape again.

The white ape was still delighted. He did not feel disappointed because he could not learn the wind-calling technique. Instead, he listened respectfully.

Li Yi immediately taught the fire-breathing technique in the Taoist magic book to the white ape.

The fire-breathing technique is to transform magic power into a raging fire, which can be spit out to melt gold and stone. If your magic power is strong enough, you can also spit out a sea of ​​fire. However, its power is still far inferior to the wind-calling technique. However, the difficulty of learning it has also dropped sharply, so it is more suitable for this white ape.

The white ape listened intently, standing still, as if trying to appreciate the mystery of the fire-breathing technique.

Li Yi didn't bother them either.

He casually taught the white ape two small spells simply because he liked them and did it without any other thoughts.

However, Li Yi's behavior made the fox girl next to him envious. She didn't expect that the ferocious Taoist in front of her was actually a hidden master who knew so many magic spells. She immediately realized that this might be her chance, so she shamelessly walked forward, knelt down, and bowed respectfully to the ground.

"I, Hu Ji, was blind and did not recognize you. Please forgive me for my previous rudeness." She spoke sincerely and respectfully.

"I have seen many monsters, but this is the first time I have seen a vixen." Li Yi took a look and said, "She is indeed enchanting and charming. An ordinary person would be completely fascinated by a vixen like you. It is only because Prince Xin has the aura of a dragon to protect him and is used to living a life of luxury that he would not be seduced by you."

Hu Ji immediately softened her voice and said, "If the Taoist priest favors me, I am willing to serve him as my master, and be at his side, showing my filial respect day and night."

"That's not necessary." Li Yi shook his head: "But I have never seen a fox girl transform. If you can practice one or two, I can use a spell to exchange with you, and I won't take advantage of you."

As soon as these words came out, Hu Ji immediately raised her head, revealing a look of surprise, but then she still said respectfully: "Then I will show you my humble service."

As she spoke, her enchanting body swayed, but then quickly shrank in an instant, and her clothes fell off. Not long after, a yellow and white fox appeared in front of him. It crawled out from a pile of women's clothes, bowed to Li Yi, and knelt respectfully. Then, it jumped onto the table beside it, turned a few circles, did a few somersaults, performed its talents, and even raised its head to sing, with a beautiful and moving voice.

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that this was a fox singing.

Li Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "Yes, it is indeed a very spiritual fox. It is indeed very difficult for a wild monster to cultivate to this level."

He had heard some stories about fox spirits before, but he didn't expect that after practicing for so long and crossing the boundaries so many times, he would actually see one today. This could be considered an eye-opener.

After the yellow-white fox finished singing, it picked a crystal clear grape from the plate on the table, then jumped in front of Li Yi and presented the grape to him like a treasure, with a flattering look in its eyes. Li Yi took the grape and said, "I keep my word, fox girl, what magic do you want to learn?"

"I will learn whatever the Taoist priest teaches me, and I dare not be picky." Hu Ji bowed and knelt in front of him.

Li Yi said, "It's not easy for a wild monster like you to survive. Learning powerful magic and fighting will only bring disaster. I will teach you the art of escaping underground. When you encounter danger, you can escape underground and save your life. Come closer."

Immediately, the fox excitedly stuck his head out and listened to the master's instructions.

Li Yi did not hide it and immediately passed the earth escape technique to the fox girl. After obtaining the technique, the fox girl was also obsessed with it. For a while, she was stunned on the spot like the white ape. It seemed that the Taoism in the world of cultivation brought different inspiration to these monsters, making them understand what the real Taoism is, which is by no means comparable to those unorthodox techniques.

"The Taoist priest has a kind heart. He knows very well that the white ape and the fox girl are monsters invited by Prince Xin, but he is still willing to teach them magic." At this time, the scholar at the side couldn't help but speak after calming down.

Li Yi took a look and said, "They didn't attack me, nor did they become my enemy. I am naturally willing to treat them differently. It's not that I have any magnanimity. But you, a scholar, are quite courageous. You dare to stay here under such circumstances. Aren't you afraid that the court will settle accounts with you later and implicate you?"

The scholar said, "I have witnessed so many major events, how can I stay out of it? Besides, the Taoist priest is not a cruel and murderous person, so why did he attract the attack of the four gods? Is there any reason? If this matter can be explained clearly, perhaps some unnecessary fights can be avoided."

"Many things in this world are neither right nor wrong. Everyone has things they want to do. When these things collide with each other, conflicts and contradictions arise. What I want to do is not to eliminate the conflicts, but to eliminate the people who bring about the conflicts." Li Yi said.

The scholar was stunned for a moment, then said: "If this happens, won't the Taoist priest have to kill a lot of people?"

"No, I won't kill anyone, as long as they give in to what I'm doing. Just like those incense gods, don't they want to take my life to seek credit from the court? It's just that they are weak and can't beat me. If I were not capable, I would be a corpse now like that." Li Yi said, pointing to the headless corpse beside him.

The scholar hesitated and said, "But fighting and killing is not suitable for people who practice Taoism."

Li Yi said: "I killed those incense gods, but what kind of punishment did I suffer?"

"That's not the case," said the scholar.

Li Yi smiled and said, "That's all. Since even God has no objection, how can you, a mere scholar, assert that my actions are not in line with those of a Taoist practitioner? It's useless to tell me what a Taoist practitioner should be like. It's up to God to decide. Maybe I killed those things, and God is very happy now."

The scholar did not refute, but lowered his head to think. As a well-read man, some of his thoughts seemed to be overturned at this moment.

But just as he was thinking.

The white ape and the fox girl on the side were currently practicing the spells they had just learned.

The white ape spits fire and the fox girl burrows underground. Even though they are unfamiliar with the art and the spells often fail to work, they have gotten started. From now on, they only need to practice diligently and eventually they will be able to master the spells.

soon.

An hour passed.

Prince Xin, who had left in a hurry before, returned to Yaoxing Tower on time as agreed. He looked hurried and carried a package on his back, as if he was ready to go on a long journey to the capital.

"Is everything ready?" Li Yi asked.

"Thank you for your tolerance, Taoist priest. I have prepared everything and can leave Xinzhou City with you at any time." Prince Xin took a deep breath and said calmly.

"Very good, you are honest and trustworthy. But don't worry, I will not harm your life. I will set you free after I find the person who wrote the lyrics." Li Yi stood up slowly at this moment. A red auspicious cloud appeared under his feet, and then the auspicious cloud gradually grew larger, covering the feet of King Xin.

As the auspicious clouds slowly rose, the two people gradually floated off the ground.

"Your Highness, I will go with you." The knight said immediately, wanting to walk on the auspicious cloud to protect Prince Xin.

Li Yi said: "Your loyalty and bravery are commendable, but this is not something you can get involved in. Don't sacrifice your life in vain. I am doing this for your own good."

"gone."

Then he no longer hesitated, and the red auspicious cloud carried the two people and moved in an instant. It immediately turned into a red light and rushed out of the Yaoxing Tower. Before everyone could react, it had disappeared into the distance of the night and could no longer be seen.

"So fast."

Everyone was shocked again. This speed was beyond their imagination. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that there was a flying technique that could allow one to escape into the sky in an instant.
