My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 267 The Difference Between Spells
time flies,
A month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, Shen Changchuan traveled around, visiting villages and gathering places for cultivators, slaying one rampaging demonic beast after another.

These days,

He traveled to most of the area within a radius of several thousand miles in the desolate border forest.

It even reached the outskirts of some other cities.

Scope of activities
The area where we used to live was more than ten times larger than when we stayed in Dawancun for a year!
This was also the first time that Shen Changchuan had stepped outside the area of ​​Dawancun, which was several hundred miles away, and seen a wider world around him.

Of course,
Such effort,
Shen Changchuan also reaped considerable rewards.

a month's time,
He has already killed three demonic beasts at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

There were also five demonic beasts belonging to the early and middle stages of the ninth level.

There are probably more than twenty remaining demonic beasts at the seventh and eighth levels of Qi Induction.

Converted into sect contribution points,

It's already over two thousand points!

Such a quantity,

This has already resolved his debt of sect contribution points for the year, as well as the expenses for the second and third years.

This made Shen Changchuan somewhat satisfied.

It was worth the time he spent tracking down the monsters and then killing them one by one.

It's important to know that a considerable amount of time and effort was spent on this.

If it is within this month,
If he stays in the sect and cultivates diligently behind closed doors, he can practice more spells and increase the progress bar of the Three Azure Forest Sword Formation.

just,

What Shen Changchuan didn't know was that,

If his achievements and his lightning-fast, mowing-down-grass-like speed were to become known to his fellow disciples,
They'd probably be so envious they'd eat several lemons raw.

To know,
Even among the most talented and elite cultivators, possessing numerous spells and magical artifacts, it's not always possible to defeat a monster of the same level without taking damage.

This is because most demonic beasts have a certain advantage in terms of thick skin and flesh, and they also possess innate magic, which is almost comparable to the perfected level of magic of human cultivators.

And most importantly,

It's a monster's counterattack when it's on the verge of death; if you're not careful, you might not even be able to save your life!
In addition, the time and effort spent searching for the monsters,

Even if several outer disciples at the ninth level of cultivation team up,
Being able to kill two or three Qi Refining level eight or nine demonic beasts in a month is already considered quite good.

Unlike him,

Almost like mowing grass, so many demonic beasts were killed in just one month.

"This quantity is about right."

With Xiao Feng's help, they easily killed a late-stage eighth-level demonic beast, and put its corpse into a storage bag specifically for demonic beast corpses.

Considering how increasingly difficult it has become to find monsters these days,

Shen Changchuan also had such an idea in his mind.

Two or three thousand sect contribution points,
That's enough to cover my expenses for the next three years.

Although a certain amount of sect contribution points are still required each year after the three-year "internship period,"
But that's a matter for the future.

Based on the current progress,

Shen Changchuan felt that he should be able to advance to the Out-of-Body Realm within two or three years.

of course,

Most importantly, after his sweep, there were not many monsters causing trouble in the surrounding area.

The current late-stage eighth-level demon beast was something I spent several days searching for.

The cost-effectiveness has been greatly reduced.

"Then go back!"

Shen Changchuan had already made up his mind.

"To be honest, although the monsters I encountered on this trip didn't pose much of a challenge, the practical experience I gained was still somewhat beneficial."

"At least the use of the many perfect-level spells I have mastered is much smoother now. Having practical experience and not having practical experience are completely different things."

While thinking,

Shen Changchuan raised his palm.
In the palm of his hand, there were faint glimpses of a sword blade, lightning, and a flash of bluish-green light.
These are all reflections of the several perfect spells he has mastered.

just,

The power one possesses is power itself.

But how to use it?
But they are two different things.

Just like game characters have a lot of skills with full cooldowns.

Without practice, one cannot use various skills smoothly, nor can one fully unleash their true power.

only,
At this moment, Shen Changchuan shook his head slightly.

"In the end, it can only be considered a somewhat unexpected gain."

"It's not worth spending too much time on this."

"Perfect spells are nothing more than tools I use to accumulate experience."

"Now that I'm about to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, these things will soon be useless."

"It would be better to spend all the time on advancing to the Out-of-Body stage."

After joining the Dragon Sky Sect, Shen Changchuan's vision and perspective broadened considerably.

For example,
Spells are divided into ranks.

Such as the many high, medium, and low-level spells he possesses.

It can only be considered a first-tier spell.

This first-tier spell is only suitable for cultivators at the Qi Refining stage.

However, it is of little use in battles at the Out-of-Body stage.

This is why,
The reason why a first-order spell can be mastered by a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage in just a few days is that few true Nascent Soul cultivators actually practice or use it.

The spells practiced and used by cultivators at the Out-of-Body Realm are second-tier spells.

Compared to the first order,
Second-tier spells are incredibly powerful.

For example, the demonic cultivator Xu Ziming that Shen Changchuan faced in Dawan Village.

It used a second-tier spell.

Once unleashed, it enveloped the entire Dawang Village.

Its power is simply unbelievable!

This is something that no amount of first-tier spells can achieve.

Shen Changchuan, who is about to achieve the Out-of-Body stage,

Naturally, I don't intend to spend too much time on this method that is destined to be phased out.

The amount of experience gained that brings about perfect results is sufficient.

There is no need to deliberately pursue the connection and application between them in order to exert greater power.

No matter how skillful and smooth the connection is, even if the power of these spells is fully unearthed, it is still only a first-tier existence.

"Young Master Shen, Young Master Shen"

Just as Shen Changchuan was about to leave,

at this time,

A shout came from afar.

Shen Changchuan looked up.

A tall, slender figure came running quickly from a distance.

It was the village chief of Huangshi Village whom I had met a few days ago.

The demonic beast that was just killed at the late stage of the eighth level had wreaked havoc on Huangshi Village.

It is worth mentioning that,
Huangshi Village is still under the protection of the Shen family of Tiannan and does not belong to the Longxiao Sect.

Shen Changchuan had only come to this area to exterminate demonic beasts.

They received a distress signal from the Shen family.
After learning about the situation, I decided to help them resolve it as well.

"What's wrong, but what's the problem?"
