Chapter 443 Cultivating Mana
Li Ming asked again: "As far as I know, besides the Xuanmen, there are also some ancient evil witchcraft."

Wu Chen stroked his long beard and said, "You've asked the right person. If you had asked my senior brother, he might not have known the answer!"

Then he began to explain in detail that this kind of evil and unrighteous way does not cultivate a pure energy, but rather senses the foul and unlucky energy between heaven and earth. It does not require cultivation in the mountains, but rather requires going to places like mass graves and desolate tombs. Relatively speaking, this kind of energy is easier to sense, so getting started is relatively simple.

After entering the door, this aura will gradually take shape, and then one will begin to construct the true talisman of one's destiny. When Li Ming heard this, he also perked up, knowing that this was the fundamental method of practicing Taoism in this world.

Wu Chen pointed at the talisman drawn on the tea and said, "From now on, you must concentrate your mind and transform the pure energy into magic power. This step requires you to unite the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit into one and practice a fundamental talisman."

The talisman is the spirit of heaven and earth, and the seal is the manifestation of Taoism. It drives the vital energy of heaven and earth, communicates with the spirit of heaven and earth, restrains ghosts and gods, and uses the true energy in the body to arouse the spirit of imagination and transform it into a talisman seed in the dantian.

This is the beginning of magic power.

The so-called method of practicing Taoism is actually to construct the structure of these talismans in the mind, which can be completed in one go when needed, and with the infusion of magic power, it can be accomplished immediately.

As he spoke, Wu Chen casually drew a few common talismans, such as those for opening the Yin-Yang eyes, moving things, shifting things, and creating water and fire. These were the small magic spells that Yan Tiannan had mentioned before. They were not very powerful, but had very magical effects. It must be said that these things were a different approach, which could surpass warriors in other aspects besides combat effectiveness.

In Li Ming's opinion, this is somewhat similar to the spell slots in DND. After using them, you have to remember them again. The written talisman paper is equivalent to a scroll, which is quite troublesome.

But this is exactly what Li Ming wants. He now has the knowledge and ideas of a whole world of immortal cultivation, but the world is different and the laws are different so he cannot start to put them into practice immediately. So he has to start from here and learn the basics from some demon slayers in this world who have the potential to be cultivators.

Taking this as the source and then modifying it, although it cannot be copied completely, as long as one or two of the accumulations in that world can be reproduced, it will greatly enrich Li Ming's methods.

Of course, the talismans that Wu Chen is teaching now are the most basic ones. If you want to cast a spell, you have to conjure up some magic power, and then continue after using it up. The really powerful ones are the basic talismans from before, which are the most important of this lineage's inheritance.

If it was just one spell, Wu Chi wouldn't be so serious about it. The reason why he was unwilling to teach it to Li Ming casually was because in order to break the formation, he had to teach them the fundamental magic seal of Miao Kun Temple, so Wu Chi was very resistant.

Li Ming looked at the talisman that Wu Chen had casually drawn, and then he followed the method he described to visualize and concentrate his mind. After a moment, he attracted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to create a wisp of ethereal magic power in his dantian.

He raised his hand and pointed, and saw that the teapot was lifted up by this magical power and turned three times.

Wu Chen was talking excitedly when he suddenly saw Li Ming close his eyes for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, he had already developed a magical power, which scared him so much that he pulled out several strands of his beard.

He was dumbfounded and asked, "Master, what are you doing? Is it done?"

Li Ming laughed heartily, then opened and closed his eyes again, raised his hand, and a flame rose and jumped from his fingertips. Li Ming was in high spirits and immediately practiced these talismans. Unfortunately, they were indeed crude and the effect was not satisfactory. At most, he could lift a stone the size of a human head, move some small objects, or spray out a small flame as thick as a finger, or summon a drop of water the size of a fist. With Li Ming's foundation and understanding, he only needed to work hard a little bit to conjure up more than a dozen talisman seeds in his Dantian, including transport talismans, relocation talismans, fire talismans, water talismans, etc. Basically, he tried all the talismans that Wu Chen had just demonstrated.
He then mobilized his internal Qi and combined it, immediately releasing dozens of Qi talismans, which he hid in his Dantian. Even with just one strand of innate Qi, several talisman seeds had already formed. Each contained approximately seventeen or eighteen Qi talismans, which were hidden in his Dantian.

Li Ming looked inward and saw that it was quite attractive and sparkling.

However, Li Ming also knew that this was flashy and impractical. It was all empty magic talismans that would be exhausted after one use. Their power was limited to that. It was okay to use them for fun, but if you really used them to subdue demons or fight with others, it would be really laughable. I'm afraid they are not enough to be used as a swindler in the world.

In fact, this is also the actual situation of most of those scammers. They have obtained the practice method of one or two talismans. They do not need to work hard to cultivate a clear energy as the source of magic power. As long as they can visualize a talisman, they will have magic power.

Although it is of little use, it is still possible to cheat the local rich people in the countryside.

Then Li Ming used his wisdom again and began to combine the immortal magic techniques from another world with it. With these foundations, those lofty magical techniques were no longer castles in the air.

As long as all the insights gained in the previous world are converted into the Taoist principles and talismans of this world, they will be of use.

But Li Ming just closed his eyes and tried it for a while, then sighed and shook his head. Wu Chen didn't understand what he meant and asked, "Master Li, your talent and understanding are truly unique in my life. Even the legendary master can't compare to you. One thought is one method, and one method is one skill. Why are you sighing?"

Li Ming just shook his head and said, "Too few, the number of samples is too small. I need to build a huge database and then conduct repeated simulation experiments to reconstruct it."

Then he smiled at Wu Chen and said, "It's okay, it's okay. That's all my own business."

Wu Chen didn't quite understand what was said, but he still understood the three words, so he said a little embarrassedly: "It's useless to practice such a low-level technique. As long as my senior brother can figure it out, the Taoist techniques of my Miao Kun Temple will naturally not disappoint Hero Li."

Li Ming just shook his head and asked, "These shouldn't be the Taoist techniques you see in your temple, right?"

Wu Chen said, "Of course not. This is just a minor trick. Could it be that Master Li is interested in this?"

Li Ming nodded and asked, "Master Wuchen, where did you get these talismans?"

Wu Chen rolled his eyes and said, "These are mostly the techniques of the Wanfa Sect. This lineage has as many members as my Miao Kun Temple. They are very prosperous, claiming to have over a thousand disciples and eight thousand miscellaneous disciples. They also have nearly ten thousand spells in their collection, but they are all relatively insignificant Taoist techniques. Only one major technique, the Thirty-Six Transformations, is somewhat famous."

Li Ming's eyes fixed, and he said thoughtfully: "Wanfamen?"
