Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 11: The Four Realms of Magic
The audience below kept exclaiming.

There was no pause on the stage, Chen Mu just used his backhand to pick it up with force.

A blue streak hit Lin Xuanzhu from above.

Lin Xuanzhu couldn't bear it anymore and took a few steps back.

"Crack..." The earth armor on his body showed signs of breaking and his magic power collapsed.

Chen Mu's eyes were sharp, and he changed his hand and stabbed again.

"I give up!" Lin Xuanzhu shouted at the top of her voice, fearing that others couldn't hear her, and Chen Muzhen stabbed her.

Upon seeing this, Chen Mu withdrew his spiritual power, stood up, and bowed to Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang was a little bit unconvinced at this time. He had seen spells at the great perfection level at Chen Mu's age before.

It's just that... they are all low-level spells like Water Blade Technique and Stone Flying Technique, and there is not a single mid-level spell like Heavy Wave Sword Technique...

The technique is easy to write, but it is extremely difficult to achieve perfection...

This is what we mean by the characteristics of magic... It can be roughly divided into four stages according to the situation of practice.

Also known as the four realms of magic.

The first level is the entry level. As long as you can write the magic pattern in your Dantian and release it, you can be considered to have entered the entry level.

The second realm is called Minor Accomplishment. This realm is where one becomes proficient in the use of magic, and when released, it is not only incredibly fast but also extremely powerful.

The third realm is the Great Accomplishment. This realm is also the end point of most people's magic practice. At this realm, many spells will have some wonderful changes. For example, the Heavy Wave Sword Technique can use the finger as a sword.

The last realm is called perfection. Few people can reach this level. Even if they do, they can only use low- to mid-level spells...

"It seems that Chen Mu must be very talented in magic..." Uncle Zhang thought.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Chen Mu asked, "Uncle Zhang?"

Then he came to his senses and announced, "Well... In this battle between Lin Xuanzhu and Chen Mu, Chen Mu won!" After pausing for two or three breaths, he continued, "As for the competition between Zhu Yuelian and Chen Mu..."

"Master, I want to compete with you!" Zhu Yuelian stepped forward, her face firm, and bowed.

Uncle Zhang hesitated, then waved his hand and looked at Chen Mu: "Forget it, Chen Mu, do you need to recover your magic power?"

Chen Mu shook his head. Actually, he hadn't slashed out many times just now...

"Brother Chen, please teach me." Zhu Yuelian bowed and then held up a red copper mirror and shone it towards Chen Mu.

Chen Mu didn't know the details of the bronze mirror and didn't dare to take it.

He quickly turned around and ran towards Zhu Yuelian.

Zhu Yuelian didn't run away. She used her spiritual power to activate the bronze mirror, and a red light suddenly shot out from the mirror and shot towards the place where Chen Mu was about to arrive.

Chen Mu hurriedly stopped, but the red light turned and chased after him.

Chen Mu pinched his fingers to summon a water shield, and when it came into contact with the red light, the water shield was instantly burned to ashes.

Chen Mu's face changed, thinking it was such a powerful force, he turned around and ran.

Fortunately, the red light was not fast and was always left behind by him.

But whenever Chen Mu wanted to get close to Zhu Yuelian, the red light would always predict where he was going and force him to stop.

I went around several times but couldn't get in.

"We can't keep entangled like this, otherwise the red light will catch up with us sooner or later."

Thinking of this, Chen Mu suddenly stopped.

Just as Zhu Yuelian's eyes flashed with doubt, she heard Chen Mu shout, "Water Blade Technique!"

At the same time, the sound of flowing water came from behind Zhu Yuelian.

Zhu Yuelian turned around suddenly and looked, but there was nothing...

The moment Chen Mu turned around, his magic power flowed under his legs and he kicked hard with his right foot!
"Not good." Zhu Yuelian realized that she had been tricked and quickly looked at Chen Mu.

But she saw Chen Mu had already rushed in front of her and smiled at her...

"I give up." Zhu Yuelian said regretfully.

Uncle Zhang, who had been watching from the stage, quickly reminded him, "Admit defeat, admit defeat, disperse all your spiritual energy..."

Chen Mu obediently withdrew his spiritual power into his body and bowed to Uncle Zhang.

At this time, Zhu Yuelian walked over quietly, stood side by side with Chen Mu, and also bowed to the stage.

Then he turned his head slightly and said to Chen Mu: "Next time, I won't be fooled by you again!"

Chen Mu curled his lips and smiled, but said nothing.

"Ahem... In this disciple competition, the first place goes to Chen Mu..." Uncle Zhang coughed twice on the stage and looked at Chen Mu below.

Chen Mu said: "Thank you, Uncle Master."

The disciples left one after another. After Chen Mu received the spirit stone reward, he led Du Xiaokui and Xiaoshuang behind.

Zhu Yuelian walked up to Uncle Zhang and complained with a pout, "Master, I also want to learn intermediate-level magic..."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhang smiled and comforted him, "My dear disciple, you don't need to learn it. The Stovetop Secret has its own suitable system. You were just careless and lost to Chen Mu. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get close to you..."

……

After returning to his residence, Chen Mu's spiritual consciousness entered his dantian and looked at the petals of the water lotus with four magic patterns printed on them.

Of the four magic patterns, one shimmered with silver light, inexplicably possessing a sharp aura, while the remaining three were overflowing with silver light, full of spiritual charm! Clearly a symbol of perfection...

"After this battle, the mastery of the Heavy Wave Sword Technique was revealed. This was my oversight. I wasn't careful enough against the enemy... But if I hadn't used it, it would have been hard to tell who would win... Fortunately, the mastery is acceptable..." "But... my three low-level spells must not be revealed again, at least not in too short a time interval, or all at once..."

Chen Mu's mind wandered, lost in recollection.

When he began to practice magic, he discovered that practicing magic was not as difficult as everyone said...

Every time I practice a spell and release it, I gain a lot of insights, so my progress is very fast.

One year after taking on the task of making rain, Xiao Yuhuanshu was the first to reach perfection in his practice.

Originally, Chen Mu didn't know it, but when he discovered that he no longer needed to make hand gestures or chant spells to perform the Small Rain-Calling Technique, and that it consumed very little mana, he consulted the classics and confirmed that he had cultivated it to perfection.

From now on, when casting spells, all you need to do is think about it and use the mana in your body as the source. The Small Rain Calling Spell can automatically absorb the water spiritual power between heaven and earth to support the consumption of the spell...

In the following time, until now, the Water Blade Technique, Water Shield Technique, and Heavy Wave Sword Technique have been perfected or developed one after another.

Chen Mu didn't believe that this was his own talent, and attributed it all to the mysterious water lotus.

In order not to attract attention, he never showed it.

The real strength is known to oneself...

Chen Mu regained his composure, took out the spirit stone and prepared to practice.

For the past month, although he was obsessed with making talismans, he never gave up his cultivation.

Three drops of spiritual liquid appeared in Dantian...

……

The sun is rising and the spring breeze is blowing.

After practicing all night, Chen Mu was stretching and walking out of the valley.

He planned to go to the Dharma Teaching Pavilion to find his senior brother Sun Wude, who loved to deceive people.

As soon as I entered the Dharma Transmission Pavilion, I saw Sun Wude, a man with gray hair and wrinkles, chatting with an outer disciple.

The disciples were delighted and their eyes were filled with longing...

Chen Mu walked forward and knocked on the table in front of him.

Sun Wude turned his head and looked over. In an instant, his eyes turned subconsciously and he laughed loudly, "Good Junior Brother, why are you here now? It's been a long time since we last met!"

Chen Mu smiled and said, "Senior Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as charming as ever." As he spoke, he deliberately looked at the disciple beside him.

"Ahem..." Sun Wood coughed a few times, then his expression changed. He pointed at Chen Mu and said to the disciple, "You must know that I'm the number one outer disciple! I learned several powerful spells from you, which is why I'm so successful... What are you still hesitating about?"

Upon hearing this, the disciple's expression brightened. He bowed and said, "Of course I recognize Senior Brother Chen. Yesterday, your demeanor on stage left a deep impression on me. With low-grade spiritual roots, you defeated Senior Brother Lin and Senior Sister Zhu, who both have mid-grade spiritual roots. You truly are a role model for us!"

Chen Mu smiled and bowed in return.

Seeing that his disciple was still struggling to get to the point, Sun Wude reminded him, "Junior Brother Chen's Heavy Wave Sword Technique! It's truly powerful and effortless!"

Chen Mu was silent.

After some discussion, Sun Wood finally got what he wanted and put the four spirit stones into the storage bag.

Then he looked at Chen Mu and asked with a smile, "Junior Brother Chen, what brings you here today?"

Chen Mu whispered back, "I wonder if you've ever heard of... the Fubo Water-Guiding Talisman?"

Seeing Chen Mu's seriousness, Sun Wude thought for a moment and said, "A first-grade, mid-grade water-attribute spiritual talisman, is that right?"

"That's right." Chen Mu nodded and said, "To be honest, I came here this time to ask you for a favor."

Sun Wude couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He turned his eyes around as usual and said, "Hey, good brother, we are brothers. Why are you being so polite? If you have any requests, just tell me!"

"I wonder if there is any magic in the pavilion...the Fu Bo Water Diversion Technique?" Chen Mu asked.

Sun Wude quickly nodded and said, "Yes, of course there is. But do you want to learn this technique?"

Chen Mu was delighted when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show it too much on his face. He replied, "Yes, thank you for troubling me, Senior Brother..."

"No trouble, no trouble, I'll get it for you right away.

After a moment, Sun Wude took out a jade slip and said with difficulty: "Junior brother also knows that the sect rules..."

Chen Mu nodded: "I understand. How many spirit stones do you need?"

"Eight spirit stones."

"Eight pieces? Why are there so many? Didn't the last Chonglang Sword Technique only cost four spirit stones? Both techniques are mid-level spells, so why is the difference so big?" Chen Mu was stunned and asked.

Sun Wood stroked his goatee with his hand, chuckling, and explained, "Junior brother, this is the good intention of the sect. We're afraid that you'll bite off more than you can chew. For an ordinary disciple, it would take him ten years to master a single mid-level spell..." At this point, he looked at Chen Mu tentatively, "Otherwise, Junior brother, I won't practice yet..."

Seeing that Chen Mu was actually thinking about it, and fearing that Chen Mu really wouldn't practice, he hurriedly said, "But Junior Brother, you have extraordinary talent. If you practice this technique, you will definitely be able to capture it easily... I will also give you the Water Snake Technique!"

Chen Mu laughed inwardly. It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with the eight spirit stones. He was just wondering whether he should practice now...

He made up his mind, and eight spirit stones appeared in his hand, which he handed to Sun Wood.

Sun Wood's eyes seemed to be shining, and his old face couldn't control the smile, and his facial features were almost wrinkled together.

He quickly put the spirit stones into the storage bag and handed the two jade slips in his hand to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu's wish was fulfilled, so he said goodbye immediately.

Only Sun Wood was left, still shouting at his back.

"Brother, come often!"
