The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 28 New Spell

"I want to buy a few more spells. Is the master willing?"

"Spell?"

The old Taoist frowned slightly upon hearing this, feeling a little embarrassed.

Naturally, he knew quite a few spells, including some unique spells and some that he could pass on to others.

However, except for the three spells he had sold to Li Yan before, the other spells had relatively high requirements for cultivation level.

Li Yan had only been practicing for two months and obviously could not meet the requirements.

"Eh, that's not right."

The old Taoist looked at Li Yan and suddenly found something wrong.

He suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Li Yan, with a hint of horror in his eyes.

"You lit up the second soul!?"

The old Taoist exclaimed.

Although he is not like a black cat, his smart eyes can see through many things.

But after Li Yan lit up his second soul, his vitality was too strong.

The old Taoist only took a few more glances and recognized that the strong vitality in Li Yan was the symbol of lighting up the second soul, Fu Shi soul.

But how is this possible?

Less than two months ago, he went to the Li family, cured Li Yan with the Qingling Pill, and left behind a method to maintain his life.

The original intention was to let Li Yan cultivate his vital energy to curb his premature aging.

But now at first glance, this Li Yan has actually entered the second soul realm?
"Ok?"

Li Yan also looked very surprised.

He also didn't expect that his current level would be discovered by the old Taoist.

"How did the Taoist see that?"

Li Yan was not panicked, but asked the old Taoist curiously.

He now thought that he already had some ability to protect himself, so he was not worried that the old Taoist knew his realm.

With more than fifty years of Taoist practice and the strength brought by his nearly perfected golden needle technique, he has enough confidence to deal with certain risks.

What's more, he didn't think the Taoist priest was a bad person.

Moreover, the news that he had killed the weasel monster had already spread, and it was impossible to conceal it.

In this case, exposing some of one's own strength can also better hide one's bigger trump card.

"If you haven't lit up your second soul, then only warriors with profound internal skills can have this vitality. Don't I know whether you are a warrior or not?"

When the old Taoist saw Li Yan admit it, he took a deep breath.

My heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

He did not ask Li Yan why he lit up the second soul so quickly.

There are some people in this world who are very lucky and can easily get opportunities.

Inheriting the legacy of predecessors, learning skills from masters, etc., can all help people make rapid progress in their cultivation.

But once someone tries to find out the secrets behind these people, they will make enemies.

The old Taoist has a calm temperament and does not like fighting.

What's more, now that he has learned the method of refining Qingling Pill, he has hope of achieving great success, and he will not pursue the secrets behind Li Yan.

"I see."

Li Yan nodded.

Unexpectedly, it was the vitality after his soul was awakened that exposed his realm.

However, he knew a cultivator like the old Taoist in Hengjiang Prefecture, and he had already discovered his realm, so there was no need for him to try to conceal his vitality.

"Since you have now entered the Second Soul Realm, I do have a few spells to teach you."

The old Taoist calmed himself down and said to Li Yan.

Li Yan entered the Second Soul Realm in such a short time. With such a speed of cultivation, he didn't need to worry about the limitations of those spells being able to stump Li Yan.

In this case, he could just pass on those spells that require a higher level of Taoism.

These spells were not his special skills, so there was no need for him to treasure them.

The most important thing is to earn more money to make pills.

"Thank you, Master Jiang."

Li Yan showed a happy expression on his face. Then the old Taoist invited everyone into the Taoist temple to wait for a while, and then took Li Yan to the quiet room alone, and taught him several magics such as the object control technique, the golden armor technique, and the ground walking technique.

Fortunately, Li Yan's memory has become extremely good since he began to practice. The old Taoist only read it once and he remembered the spells by heart.

"Any other spells?"

Li Yan continued to ask with eagerness in his eyes.

"Some other spells cannot be bought with this gold and silver."

The old Taoist shook his head.

There is no need to keep these spells secret since they are widely spread.

But some of the more sophisticated spells are kept as a last resort by everyone and cannot be purchased with gold or silver.

"What about this?"

Li Yan took out all the Life Energy Pills from his storage bag.

Ten medium-grade Life Qi Pills and more than twenty low-grade Life Qi Pills.

"You actually have a Life Qi Pill in your hand? And it's a mid-grade Life Qi Pill!"

The old Taoist showed surprise again.

The Qingling Pill he refined was as effective as a mid-grade Mingqi Pill.

It can strengthen the soul in a short period of time and increase the speed of cultivation tenfold.

However, the Qingling Pill itself does not contain life energy, and one needs to absorb life energy to refine it. Therefore, the old Taoist feels that it is still weaker than the mid-grade life energy pill.

The great merit he had previously achieved in the Palace God Festival was only worth twenty medium-grade Life Energy Pills.

Now, Li Yan took out ten medium-grade Life Qi Pills at once, which really surprised him.

"How about it, Taoist priest? Are these enough?"

Li Yan asked.

These are the ten mid-grade Life Qi Pills that Liu Yingying had given him before.

With his cultivation speed, he had no use for the Life Energy Pill, so it remained in his storage bag.

Now it just comes in handy.

"Of course it's enough."

The old Taoist looked slightly pleased and nodded gently.

Although Qingling Pill is comparable to the middle-grade Mingqi Pill, he cannot sell it to outsiders.

But the Life Energy Pill is different. It can not only be used for cultivation, but also can be used to purchase magical instruments and other items.

Life Energy Pills can directly improve one’s cultivation level and are the common currency among practitioners.

Many things related to cultivation cannot be bought even if you have money, and can only be purchased with Life Energy Pills.

Moreover, there are very few channels to obtain Life Energy Pills. Usually, they can only be obtained from the Demon Subduing Bureau or by making contributions to a few powerful sects.

Precisely because of this particularity, Life Qi Pills are extremely scarce. They can be easily exchanged for silver, but silver is difficult to exchange for Life Qi Pills.

"I still have three spells to teach you, but these Life Energy Pills you have can only be exchanged for one of them. You can choose it yourself!"

The Taoist's three magic spells were also not recorded in writing and could only be passed down orally.

He first introduced three spells to Li Yan, and then asked Li Yan to choose one.

The art of controlling wind, the art of summoning thunder, and the art of small movements.

These three spells are extraordinary and extremely subtle.

If Li Yan didn’t have the Life Energy Pill, the old Taoist would never have passed it on to Li Yan.

Among them, the wind-controlling technique can be practiced to the point where one can control the wind, but the disadvantage is that one cannot fly too high.

The Thunder Summoning Technique is an extremely powerful attacking technique, but it requires lighting up the third soul, the Que Yin soul, in order to practice it.

The small teleportation technique can be mastered to move quickly over short distances, but it consumes a lot of energy. Generally, a two-spirit practitioner cannot move more than a few times.

In the end, Li Yan chose the small move technique.

Although he really wanted to learn how to fly with the wind, flying at low altitudes did not significantly improve his combat power.

The Thunder Summoning Technique requires lighting up the third soul before it can be practiced. Although Li Yan has made great achievements, he is indeed only at the second soul level and has not yet reached the requirements for practice.

What's more, he has the Golden Needle Technique for attack, so the need for the Thunder Summoning Technique is not that great for the time being.

The small teleportation technique could just make up for his weakness in short-distance dashing and dodging, so he decisively chose the small teleportation technique.
