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

Chapter 40 Calm
"Wind Controlling Technique, Paper Crane Technique, Flying Sword Technique."

Li Yan sat in the stone pavilion, put down the three spells in his hands, and a smile appeared on his face.

This was the magic spell that her elder sister Li Meng sent to him from Heyang Prefecture.

Li Yan had previously told Li Meng all the magic spells he had learned to avoid repetition.

At the same time, he told Li Meng the type of spells he wanted to learn.

So after Li Meng returned, he selected and exchanged these three spells according to Li Yan's needs.

Among them, Li Yan had heard of the wind-controlling technique from the old Taoist before. It allows flying at low altitudes and consumes a lot of Taoist skills.

At that time, Li Yan could only choose one spell with the life energy pill on him, so he only chose the small movement technique which had a stronger effect on increasing combat power.

Otherwise, he would definitely choose the wind control technique.

After all, being able to fly by himself, even if he could only fly three or five feet high, was a great satisfaction for him.

Immortality and the ability to fly into the sky and hide underground are the pursuits of almost everyone from ancient times to the present.

Li Yan was naturally no exception.

Paper crane magic is a method of communication that can deliver messages. It is a good auxiliary magic.

Li Yan had seen Liu Yingying use it before, so he wrote it down.

This spell requires a breath of the person being communicated with in order to be cast.

As for the casting distance, it depends on one's own Taoism. If one's Taoism is high enough, one can transmit messages even across thousands of miles.

The flying sword technique was chosen for Li Yan by Li Meng because Li Yan wanted to learn another offensive spell.

This spell is the basis of all sword-controlling spells. Only after learning the sword-controlling spell can you learn more powerful sword-controlling spells later.

Although Li Yan did not have a flying sword, he had a magical peach wood sword that he had previously obtained from the evil cultivator's storage bag, which could be used for his benefit.

Otherwise, the power of wielding an ordinary sword would be much smaller.

……

After learning these three spells, Li Yan began to practice them constantly.

Since he didn't want to attract attention, he specially picked out some time to practice the wind-controlling technique in the deserted countryside outside the city.

As for the paper crane technique, it is used to contact the old Taoist priest and second brother-in-law unilaterally to inquire about the news of the Sun God Cult.

The flying sword technique was initially practiced in the yard every day.

And it seems that because he has a foundation in golden needle technique and object control technique, as well as a very deep Taoist practice, he has made extremely rapid progress in flying sword technique.

In less than ten days, he had mastered it to perfection.

At this time, the power of his flying sword technique was already extremely impressive.

By using only a small part of his Taoist skills to activate the flying sword technique, the speed of the peach wood sword will increase and it will be able to pierce the air, making a bang in the yard that breaks the sound barrier.

At that time, everyone in the Li family thought that there was an invasion by demons and ghosts, and they quickly raised the talismans given to them by Li Yan to protect themselves.

But nothing happened. Later they found out that Li Yan was practicing a magic spell, and they revered Li Yan like a god.

Later, in order not to disturb his family, Li Yan simply practiced the wind-controlling technique outside.

He chose the afternoon as his time, and would take time out every afternoon to go out of the city to practice wind-controlling and sword-flying techniques.

……

"Third Young Master, this is today's letter."

Cuizhu walked in from outside the yard, looked at Li Yan with admiration, and carefully handed today's letter to Li Yan.

Li Yan took the letter, opened it and raised his eyebrows.

"Still no news? Did the Sun God Cult really leave?"

Li Yan leaned his left hand on the stone table, touched his chin and fell into deep thought. He always felt that things were not that simple.

The Sun God Cult has been quiet for some time, and Taoist Jiang has even planned to return to Shepherd Mountain to practice.

He was busy with the affairs of the Sun God Cult and his cultivation was delayed for a while.

Li Yan had great respect for Taoist Jiang. If the Taoist had not taken action, they would not have discovered the actions of the Sun God Cult.

If that happens, more people will surely be killed.

It won't be like now, when the Demon-Subduing Division arrives, the Sun God Cult will be completely silent. "No matter what, tomorrow I will be able to reach a hundred years of cultivation, and I will be a few years away from the Six Souls Realm."

Li Yan's heart was full of anticipation.

It takes one hundred and six years of practice to enter the Six Souls Realm, and he is now very close.

Moreover, Li Yan has his own magical power to ward off evil spirits, so the damage he causes when facing demons, ghosts, and evil cultivators is even greater. Therefore, he feels that he has been able to fight against those in the Six Souls Realm a long time ago.

By tomorrow, he will have completely lit up Fu Shi Po and will most likely awaken his second magical power.

By then his strength will be greatly improved.

"Even if the Sun God Cult does something, I should be able to handle it easily."

Li Yan is full of confidence.

……

The day is noon.

Li Yan walked out of the Li family's gate alone and walked straight along the long street in the center of the city towards the city gate.

The streets are bustling with people, a prosperous scene.

During this period of time, demons and ghosts have disappeared, evil practitioners have disappeared, and the city has returned to its former prosperity.

He came to a noodle shop and walked in.

This is a place he often goes to before going out of town. The clear soup noodles made by the store taste very good.

A bowl of clear soup noodles only has a few slices of meat, but the store has a unique secret recipe that makes this bowl of clear soup noodles rich in aroma and tastes excellent.

So this noodle shop business is very prosperous.

Li Yan discovered this place a few days ago and started coming here often.

"Third Master, you are here."

When the shop owner saw Li Yan, he wiped his hands with a white cloth and ran over quickly, a smile on his excited, flushed face.

Because Li Yan had previously killed an evil cultivator in public and rescued two teenagers who were infected with the animal-making technique, he has now become a legendary figure in the city.

The shop owner naturally knew the legend of Li Yan.

Therefore, he is proud that Li Yan can often patronize his business.

Li Yan smiled lightly and said, "It's still the same."

"Got it."

The shop owner nodded when he heard this and hurried to the kitchen to make clear soup noodles for Li Yan.

After the shop owner left, a child of about 11 or 12 years old ran over from the kitchen and asked Li Yan, "Third Master, can you teach me magic?"

He is the shop owner's son, Xiaotong, and has become familiar with Li Yan during this period.

Li Yan smiled and asked the little boy, "Do you want to learn magic?"

The little boy replied with anticipation on his face: "Of course, I want to be as good as you, Third Young Master."

He held a dozen soybean-sized colored stones in his palm and handed them to Li Yan, saying, "These are my treasures. I can give them all to you."

He picked up these stones in the river and regarded them as treasures to him. Many of his friends wanted them but he was unwilling to hand them over. However, in order to learn magic, he was willing to give them to Li Yan.

Li Yan shook his head and did not take the colored stone from the child. He directly rejected the child: "Magic is not that easy to learn. I can't teach you."

If one wants to embark on the journey of spiritual practice, one must first overcome the calamity of life, and the calamity of life is so dangerous that one may die if one is not careful.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so few practitioners in this world.

The child naturally did not survive the catastrophe, but this was not a bad thing, at least he did not have to go through any danger.

For example, Li Yan’s real fate was actually the black sun he encountered on the day he traveled through time.

His previous incarnation died because of this, and now he still has the fear of that black sun disaster in his memory.

He didn't want the little kid to go through this.

The child looked disappointed when he heard this, but didn't say much. He turned around and left with the colored stone.
