I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 21 Spell Fusion (asking for monthly ticket)

Lin Xiyue said loudly, "This is the Lanshui Swallow I've been raising since I entered the Dao. Now it has transformed into the 'Ice Swallow'. It is in harmony with my water spirit root. The Lanshui Swallow is like a water arrow frog, everywhere. The spell it awakened in the early stage is also known as the most useless 'Water Arrow Technique'."

"I had nothing back then, and had no other choice. Since my demon spirit was weak, I prioritized strengthening myself. Later, I found half a remaining feather of the ancient ice phoenix in the ancient secret realm. Wasn't I lucky? But!"

Lin Xiyue changed the subject, "What do you think the success rate is for Lan Shuiyan to devour the Ice Phoenix feather and mutate, given her aptitude? Even if we include the Chengling Pill, which inherits the demon species' magic, a 50% chance is already quite high. Do your demon spirits still often fail to devour it?"

As soon as these questions were asked, everyone was attracted, including Jiang Yi.

Although her daughter Hua Gu's magic inherited from the demon species has never failed, it does not prevent her from listening to how others failed.

"The key lies in the demon master himself. His consciousness, physique, comprehension, spiritual roots, and the degree of compatibility between him and the demon spirit all affect the success rate of swallowing the Chengling Pill, the spiritual objects of heaven and earth, and the demon spirit's aptitude breakthrough. If it weren't for my strong physique and clear consciousness, I could have protected Lan Shuiyan and helped her endure the extreme cold when she absorbed the Frost Phoenix feathers. Lan Shuiyan would have had no chance of successfully transforming."

"During battle, the situation changes rapidly. The demon spirits often fail to pay attention to the demon master and are unable to return to the rescue in time. If the demon master has no combat power and is killed, even if the contracted beast is a divine beast, it will be of no use."

"I'm telling you this because I hope you understand that even in the Qi training stage, you can't borrow the magic of demon spirits. You can't just cultivate demon spirits and rely solely on them while forgetting your own cultivation. During the Qi training stage, you should make plans for the future."

"The purpose of cultivating a demon spirit is to align with you and compensate for your own shortcomings. Don't just blindly force a contract with a powerful demon spirit. In the end, you won't be able to borrow the demon spirit's power because the compatibility isn't there, which is a waste of energy and financial resources."

"Next, I will focus on explaining the Five Elements of life and death between demon spirits and demon masters, and the principles of harmony. Even if your first demon spirit isn't compatible with you, it doesn't matter. You can pay more attention when preparing the second demon spirit..."

Jiang Yi benefited a lot from Lin Xiyue's class on how to deal with demons and spirits. Immersed in it, he gained a lot of inspiration about the ways of demons and spirits, and also deepened his understanding of the demon-controlling branch of practice.

……

The one-hour class ended unknowingly. When Lin Xiyue rang the bell to end the get out of class, most people were still immersed in what she had just explained.

"get out of class is over, aren't you guys leaving yet?"

Shen Puning stood up and yawned. Seeing that Jiang Yi and Xin Wushuang were still thinking, she reached out and pulled them up.

"Oh, forget it. If you have any questions about demon spirits, just ask me directly. I know as much as Uncle Lin does. Let's talk on the way down the mountain. The Deacon Hall and the Martial Arts Arena are at the foot of the mountain. Let's go and learn about the sect's missions and the arena battles."

On the forest path, every tree is in autumn colors, and every mountain is bathed in sunset. The three of them walked slowly down the path under the sunset glow.

"Ask me, I promise to tell you everything I know!" Shen Puning patted his chest and pouted confidently.

Jiang Yixian asked, "Is it true that the demon spirits cannot comprehend and improve the spells they inherited from other demon species on their own?"

Shen Puning frowned. "No, but it's not absolute. It's very complicated. The main reason is that demonic spirits generally don't have high intelligence. Even cultivators have difficulty understanding the mysteries of demonic spellmarks, let alone demonic spirits."

"A spell mark is like a complex rune. You can think of the rune path as a canal. The spells awakened by the demon spirits themselves are the canals they have dug themselves based on the memories in their bloodlines, accumulated over time. They have an innate understanding of how to dig deeper and wider to allow more spiritual energy to flow."

"Once a demon seed is refined into a Spirit-Benefiting Pill, new runes can be directly imprinted onto the demon spirit's demon seed. The demon spirit only needs to close its eyes and pour spiritual power into the entrance of the rune channel. The spiritual power will flow towards the exit on its own, thus activating spells."

"The higher the level of the spell, the more complex the rune pathways. It's difficult for a demon spirit to figure out the winding paths. If you dig at random, you might end up killing yourself. That's why you need more Chengling Pills and blueprints to dig the rune pathways."

"I'm not saying it's absolute because as demon spirits improve their cultivation, some of them, known for their high intelligence, use foreign spells more frequently. Sometimes they suddenly become enlightened and comprehend the principles of foreign spells on their own. However, the chance is very low, only one in ten thousand."

Jiang Yi felt that there was a way. Hua Gu was smart and had good understanding. She might be able to comprehend the "falling thunder" on her own in the future.

"The second question is, can the demon spirit combine two spells into one to form a new spell?"

This is the question Jiang Yi has been thinking about recently. Most demon masters think that the spell of Ganlin can only be used to water the ground. Like the water arrow, it is useless in the early stage and may even be worse than the water arrow. In the later stage, Ganlin will only expand the range of rainfall and increase the amount of rainfall.

But Jiang Yi doesn't think so. Just imagine, if Gan Lin's large-scale rainfall is combined with the super penetrating power of the mastery-level water arrow, turning every raindrop into a small water arrow, can it turn a single-target attack spell into a large-scale group damage spell?

Water conducts electricity, so what if lightning were added? Wouldn't the power of the water arrows explode if they became lightning arrows?
When Xin Wushuang heard Jiang Yi's question, his eyes lit up and he immediately frowned and started thinking.

Shen Puning nodded in surprise. "Sister Jiang, you're really clever! This trick was only discovered in recent years. The method is very simple. All you need to do is use your spiritual sense to intervene in the demon spirit's body. First, let the demon spirit cast a spell on its own. Then, use your spiritual sense to help the demon spirit cast another spell at the same time. The second spell may be cast later, but it must catch up with the first one. You can activate it in exact sync."

"It sounds simple, but actually doing it requires a lot of practice and the cooperation of the demon spirit. Finding the key point at which two spells can be simultaneously activated requires the demon master to have a strong spiritual sense and the demon spirit's full trust. I don't know how to do it either, I just heard it from others, so I may not be able to help you much." Jiang Yi said, "That's enough. Thank you, Puning, but you just told me this casually, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"

Shen Puning laughed and said, "But you're not a bad person. You don't know, but my chubby body has a great advantage. It can judge people's character! Why don't I play with Li Qingxian from our same courtyard? Because when she looks at me, her eyes are full of ridicule, laughing at me for being fat."

"Many people who joined the sect with me were the same. When they saw me for the first time, their eyes were very unfriendly. Although I was a little scared of Sister Xin at first, Sister Xin didn't laugh at me. Sister Jiang's eyes were strange. I felt like you were my grandmother."

Jiang Yi reached out and pinched Shen Puning's chubby face. "Then just treat me as your elder. If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell me. Wushuang, the same goes for you."

Xin Wushuang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood the feeling that Shen Puning had just had when he said that Jiang Yi was like an elder.

Xin Wushuang thought about it seriously, and said to the two of them solemnly, "From now on, I will bring you three meals a day. Just tell me what you want to eat."

Jiang Yi was more than happy to do so, as this way he could have some extra laziness in his pocket every day.

Shen Puning was a little embarrassed, "Will this be too much trouble for you?"

The setting sun reflected the redness on Xin Wushuang's cold face. She stood as straight as a pine tree, but her eyes unconsciously moved downwards, "I... I like being troubled by you!"

"Thank you, Sister Xin! You really saved my life. I don't know who came up with the stupid idea to put the dining hall on the top of the mountain. It's totally inhumane!"

Jiang Yi smiled and lowered her head. If it weren't for Shen Puning, she would definitely not have had any intersection with Xin Wushuang, and the three of them would not have become friends.

Both she and Xin Wushuang are the kind of people who don't take the initiative to make friends. For some people, it is difficult to be sincere and show kindness first.

Xin Wushuang didn't understand, and Jiang Yi didn't dare.

Only young people who have not experienced the world can possess such sincerity and courage. Adults who have been ravaged by time have long lost the strength to trust.

In the past, in Xuanying Sword Sect, due to her status and her mother's strictness, she had no other friends except her junior sister Yaoyao who chased after her all day long.

In the entire Beixuan, only the witch 'Hua Luosha' is her enemy and friend, a match for her, and can be considered half a friend.

……

As night fell, the three of them returned home together.

When I stepped into the courtyard, I ran into Li Qingxian who came out to fetch water from the well.

Li Qingxian was carrying a bucket of water. Seeing the three people smiling and close to each other, many expressions flashed across her face in an instant.

Surprise, surprise, suspicion, vigilance, and finally rage.

Boom!
She threw the bucket down fiercely and said, "Your evil plan will never succeed. Let's wait and see!"

Li Qingxian went back to the house and slammed the door.

Xin Wushuang had a blank expression on his face and didn't quite understand.

Shen Puning's facial features wrinkled into a ball, "What is she talking about?"

Jiang Yi pulled his hand out of Shen Puning's arm. "Maybe... she thought the three of us were like evil women trying to isolate her. She imagined a story in her head where we were jealous and were planning to gang up on her. In the end, she felt wronged and exploded in anger."

Xin Wushuang: …………

Shen Puning: ???
In the small courtyard, there is a straight girl, a sweet girl, a fool with a random imagination, a lazy girl who just wants to sleep, and a group of demons with low IQ.

This life of cultivating immortals cannot be dull.

It's really interesting~
