No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 60: Magic is too convenient
The Dust Avoidance Technique was originally invented by low-level monks in order to avoid dust on their bodies.

Just apply it on your body and it will last for a month. It is very useful.

Later, things changed.

Some people modified the spell so that it can not only avoid dust, but also rain and snow.

Some of them changed the direction, which not only avoided dust but also kept the robes clean and smooth, as if they had been ironed.

You know, when you go out, a wrinkled Taoist robe and a straight, wrinkle-free Taoist robe are two different images!
What's more, not only can the robes become neat and smooth, but the hair can also become neat and smooth without any odor.

For female practitioners, some dust avoidance techniques can also change one’s hairstyle.

With just one spell, you can change your appearance. Which female cultivator in the world can resist such a spell?

Correspondingly, for male practitioners, some dust-avoiding techniques can shorten the beard.

Whether it is a long beard or a goatee with three strands of hair, there is a corresponding method to avoid dust.

Therefore, there are 361 dust-avoiding techniques recorded in Qinghua Library, but the vast majority of them are practiced by men.

Beard is quite important for men.

Even so, the 361 kinds of dust-avoiding techniques are not all the dust-avoiding techniques in the world of immortal cultivation. It is possible that a certain cultivator may have his own unique dust-avoiding technique.

In addition to the dust-avoiding technique, there are also spells such as the dust-free technique, the spirit tree technique, the fairy spring technique, the preservation technique, the transportation technique, and so on, which are countless.

These commonly used spells far surpass killing spells such as the Sky Thunder Spell, the Sun Flame Spell, and the Frost Spell.

Really, magic is so convenient!

Imagine that if you learn the Heavenly Thunder Technique and use thunder to kill enemies, you may not need to use it for several years. But if you learn the Fairy Spring Technique or the Spirit Tree Technique, it will be different.

You pass by a small village in the arid desert and casually plant a date pit.

Amid everyone's amazement, the date pit quickly took root, sprouted, grew, matured, and bore fruit.

The dates produced are big and sweet.

Then he used the Fairy Spring Technique, and the dried up well water began to gurgle out.

When the work is done, he leaves without leaving his name, only the legend of the immortal.

This kind of inappropriate pretense is liked by many monks.

As for the transportation technique, dust-free technique, and preservation technique, they are just like the methods of gods in the eyes of mortals.

If you know spells but don’t use them, then what’s the difference between a monk and an insignificant person?
Cultivation is not just for fighting and killing, and spells are not just for fighting and killing. More monks use spells to change the quality of their lives.

Magic becomes a part of their lives.

Xu Shun’s extremely precious magic power was not too precious to them.

Because they are stuck at some kind of bottleneck.

Maybe it was from the Dragon Tiger Stage to the Golden Core Stage, maybe it was from the Golden Core Stage to the See the Truth Stage, or maybe it was some other stage. Their cultivation level no longer increased, and even if their mana was consumed, they could quickly make up for it through cultivation.

As for the cultivator who practices only offensive spells but does not practice the Dust Avoidance Spell and the Fairy Spring Spell, he is a bit like Xu Shun, the weirdo who made money before traveling through time and worked hard on weightlifting and archery every day without even buying any shampoo.

It's indeed a bit too outrageous.

Xu Shun stood up and took out a thin book from the cabinet in his room.

Those were some spells he copied down in Qinghua Bookstore. They were all spells he had carefully selected and copied down in advance.

He didn't spend a year reading in vain.

During this year, he learned a lot of basic knowledge about the world of immortal cultivation and also learned a lot of magic spells.

Although he could not practice those spells, he selected some from the annotations and comparisons and recorded them down, waiting to learn them when he reached the spiritual stage.

He read the first page of the booklet, which was the simplest Dust Avoidance Technique. The reason why there were so many versions of the Dust Avoidance Technique was that it was too simple.

Even a cultivator like Xu Shun, who has just been practicing in the spiritual realm for one day, can be released.

Xu Shun carefully looked at how the spell worked. The magic power needed to run in the body in a special way and then be released.

very simple.

He tried it, and a few strands of magic power swirled in his body and then erupted from his fingertips.

"avoid!"

he couldn't help shouting.

A strange wave enveloped him and he felt a layer of grey circles appearing on his body. It was a strange sight as dust was pushed away by magic and flew out of his body.

He touched his hair, which was smoother than ever before, even drier and smoother than after he washed it himself.

Xu Shun touched his clothes again, and they became neat and smooth, as if they had been washed clean and then ironed.

Looking at the bronze mirror, Xu Shun felt that his face had become three points paler and ten points more handsome.

Who isn’t a handsome guy when he’s seventeen or eighteen years old?

As for after the age of thirty, that’s… a sad story.

The dust avoidance technique is surprisingly useful!
Especially since this spell can last for more than a month, you no longer have to worry about the sweat smell on your body after practicing swordsmanship!
It was worth the effort he put into using those few strands of magical power.

In the process of casting the spell, he keenly realized that it was his own magic power that caused the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, achieving the changes the spell wanted.

My will carries the magic power like a catalyst, and like the first domino to fall, it completes the entire spell and achieves the effect I want.

Because of the existence of "I", the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can turn into magic power.

Because of the existence of "I", the magic power can attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and cast magic.

Otherwise, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would continue to wander between heaven and earth.

The monks use their skills and the opposition between "I" and the world to utilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, turning it into magic power and spells!

For people, the world only has meaning when there is "I".

For a monk, everything in practice is possible because of the existence of "I"!
Cultivation means cultivating the "self".

When Xu Shun thought about this, he got up and went to eat and practice swordplay.

He needs to practice constantly and slowly grow his magic power, like a stream or a river, moving forward courageously, cutting through thorns and brambles, crushing all obstacles to practice, like a tiger in the mountains!
When he walked out of the door, he saw a fat man with his upper body naked lying in the yard, frowning and thinking about something.

It was his master whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Lan Dao Ren.

What could make Fatty Blue frown?

Could it be Taoist Qingtao’s business?
"Greetings, Master!" Xu Shun stepped forward and saluted.

"It's Zicai..." Lan Daoren's contemplation was interrupted, he turned around and asked: "You want to practice sword again?"

"Hey! You have already reached the spiritual level?" Taoist Lan suddenly discovered Xu Shun's cultivation level.

He didn't have a few days to rest after returning to the mountains. The last time he saw Xu Shun, he was still at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

"I just completed the foundation building yesterday and reached the spiritual stage." Xu Shun said honestly.

"Why didn't you say anything? Alas, your master has been too busy lately!" Taoist Lan shook his head and motioned Xu Shun to sit down and talk.

"I wonder what Master is busy with recently? Is he ascending to heaven?" Xu Shun asked curiously.
