After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 13 13. Second Perfection, Condensing the Evil and Controlling the Mystery

[You have spent ten years comprehending the "Evil Containment Technique", but have gained nothing.]

Ten years have gone down the drain.

Nothing Found?
Song Yan frowned slightly and glanced at the "【Lifespan: 17/3885】" on the panel. He was silent for a moment, but he had no intention of stopping. He would not hastily draw the conclusion that "since ten years is not enough, then it seems that spending more time on comprehension is useless."

He could endure half a year without using any of his life span just to wait for a Qi Gathering Technique, but if the time came, he would not hesitate to "go all in".

Before crossing over, he had read some stories in which there were always villains or other characters who were slow to act. They had the means to improve their strength but did not improve it properly. Even if they did improve, they would not improve it to the point where there was no more room for improvement. Instead, they would stop inexplicably after only improving halfway and then go out to play. After that, they would either die directly or escape death.
He will not.

Today, he must improve as much as possible.

Only when potential turns into strength will he feel at ease.

However, remembering the "psychological suggestion" he had received when he had comprehended the "Inferior Ghost Root" before, Song Yan once again hinted to himself, "I hope that the Qi Gathering Technique will develop in the direction of hiding power."

The transformation of "The Art of Gathering Qi" into "The Art of Gathering Evil" actually did not satisfy him very much.

If it really comes to the point where you need to fight back with evil spirit, then your true colors will be revealed.

He needs to hide and avoid being caught and "dissected" instead of being forced to fight back on the "operating table".

[You have spent ten years comprehending the "Evil Containment Technique", but have gained nothing.]

[You have spent fifty years comprehending the "Evil Containment Technique". After repeated attempts and efforts, you begin to discover new opportunities. You try to seize them, but it is always in vain. You are not discouraged and continue to try day after day.

In the sixteenth year, you suddenly realized what the opportunity was.

The root of everything is still in Sha Xuan. In addition to its fierce offensiveness, the evil spirit in Sha Xuan will also show the characteristics of devouring when it gathers to a certain extent. This characteristic is also reflected in the instinct of ghosts to attack life. So far, you have spent a full forty years to comprehend.

You begin to try to condense and compress the evil energy separated from Sha Xuan again.

The process is complicated, but it won’t stop you.

In the forty-fifth year, you realize that you have come to a fork in the road. On one side is to release the condensed evil spirit to attack. This spell seems to be able to devour other people's profound energy. It is simply the "Star Absorbing Technique" in the cultivation world;
On the other hand, the condensed evil spirit is further restrained, so as to swallow all the mysterious energy in the body into the stomach, and then no longer occupy a position, but hide in a corner of the body. In this way, one can hide one's own breath more thoroughly, and at the same time, when necessary, one can also launch a ferocious counterattack against the invading breath that is far superior to the "Evil Condensing Technique".

You chose the latter.

At the age of fifty-five, you comprehended the Art of Condensing Evil and Hiding the Mystery.

This technique cannot undergo a third mutation, and the remaining nineteen years will be returned.]

Song Yan scanned the panel.

In the [Spell] column, there is a new and perfect spell called "The Art of Condensing the Evil and Hiding the Mystery".

Obviously, the "Ghost Spirit Root" is worthy of being a special root, and the reason why the first ten years of comprehension gained nothing is because the second mutation of an ordinary spell is much more difficult than the first.

But the "Qi Gathering Technique" is ultimately just a common spell, and its potential is limited. After two mutations, it has reached the end of its deduction.

Feeling the mysterious new magic in his body: "The Art of Condensing the Evil", Song Yan made a brief attempt.

Sure enough, he easily condensed the evil energy in his body, and then used this evil energy to swallow all the mysterious energy, and then condensed it into a point, like a slag particle hidden in an inconspicuous corner of his body.

He controlled the evil point to separate a wisp of mysterious energy, and then only a wisp of mysterious energy flowed in his body.

If a formal disciple from the Shadow Play Peak came to test the servants' training progress, then he would only see the progress that Song Yan wanted him to see.

Half a year later, the testing crisis was resolved and Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

But he still had a little regret, because at the fork in the road of enlightenment, he chose to "further converge the condensed evil spirit" instead of "release it for attack".

Children make choices.

He wants it all.

How to do?
He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and found that it seemed possible.

[You have invested fifty years to comprehend the "Art of Containing Evil" again. You came to the previous fork in the road with ease. This time, you chose the first path.

You try to release the condensed evil spirit to attack, but you find that it is not easy because in the structure of this spell, you have become completely accustomed to another path. Now it is tantamount to reversing the habit and starting over.

In fifty years, you may have learned something, but you have not yet mastered any new magic.]

[You have spent fifty years to comprehend the "Art of Condensing Evil Spirits". With your sweat, hard work and understanding, you have finally comprehended another variation of the "Art of Condensing Evil Spirits" after spending seventy-five years. You have comprehended the "Art of Condensing Evil Spirits and Swallowing Mystery".

You spent another ten years to merge the "Art of Condensing Evil and Swallowing the Mystery" with the "Art of Condensing Evil and Hiding the Mystery".

You have comprehended the Mystical Art of Condensing Evil Spirits.

The spell has mutated to perfection and no longer has any possibility of further mutation.

The remaining time for return is fifteen years.

Song Yan opened his eyes and stretched out his palms.

The evil spirit was separated and condensed in the palm of his hand.

If someone was standing opposite him, they would see that the palm of the boy's hand turned black, like a monster's mouth.

But if this big mouth wanted to break out of the body and fly out to bite people, it seemed that it would not be possible.

Song Yan was already very satisfied that the "Qi Gathering Technique" could be transformed into the "Evil Condensing and Controlling Mystery Technique".

He glanced at the panel.

【Life span: 17/3761】.

"It is better to improve the "Air Arrow Technique" first, and then improve the realm."

The "Art of Condensing Evil and Controlling Mysterious Energy" is a combination of offense and defense, and is difficult to defend against, but it cannot be released externally. However, the "Art of Air Arrow" is obviously a spell that utilizes the release of mysterious energy to attack.

This can make up for his shortcomings in fighting.

At the same time, he also wanted to verify his understanding of the time required to comprehend spells.

[You spent two years comprehending the "Air Arrow Technique". One month before the two-year mark, you perfected the spell. You began to realize that the so-called Air Arrow Technique was nothing more than a simple condensation and blocking technique.

But this kind of condensation is far inferior to your "Art of Condensing Evil and Controlling the Mysterious Energy". It only requires you to transfer the mysterious energy to your fingertips, then forcibly block it, and then when the blockage is removed, the mysterious energy will spray out, just like a mortal drawing a bow and drawing an arrow.

No, it is just like ordinary people shooting arrows, because its power, range, and accuracy are all extremely average, and when it is shot, it will be accompanied by a clear sound similar to a bullet being fired, and it also consumes a lot of profound energy. Perhaps, the only thing that can be praised about it is its concealment.】

Song Xuan paused briefly.

"Sure enough, it usually only takes two years to perfect common magic at the Xuan level, and one year to use."

"And this "Air Arrow Technique" is the cheapest spell sold in the entire prefecture-level city. You really get what you pay for. If there weren't some more powerful spells, who would want to practice this?"

[You have spent five years to comprehend the "Air Arrow Technique". Through your daily study, you have comprehended the "Evil Arrow Technique". The principle is to separate a strand of evil energy and mix it into the air arrow. This way, when it touches the target, it can more easily tear its mysterious energy defense or cause greater damage.]

"Sure enough, with my inferior physique, it takes about five years for a common person to practice Xuan magic for the first time to mutate."

"Go ahead and see if you can eliminate the noise, increase the range, etc. Eliminating the noise is the first priority."

[You have invested fifty years in comprehending the Art of Evil Arrows.]

In the thirty-third year, you reach a fork in the road.

This time, there are three forks in the road.

One is to improve the range and accuracy;
One is to improve the dynamics and reduce consumption;
One is to increase power;

You chose the second one.

In the forty-eighth year, you comprehended the "Evil Needle Technique".

The principle of this spell is to use the evil spirit to condense the mysterious energy into a needle, reduce the amount of injection and the diameter of the injection, thereby weakening the sound. Because the point of force becomes smaller, the overall power will not change.

This technique cannot undergo a third mutation, and the remaining two years will be returned.]

Song Yan:.
He raised his finger and felt it a little. It was obvious that no matter how small the movement was, it was still movement. It was impossible to be silent.

He suddenly had an inexplicable feeling of cursing his mother.

This "Air Arrow Technique" is like A Dou who is unable to get up.
