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

Chapter 57 Planning
Under Si Houqing's personal guidance, Shen Changchuan arrived at Duobaolou.

After some haggling between Si Houqing and the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper of Duobaolou finally gave Shen Changchuan a 50% discount.

In the end, Shen Changchuan spent three hundred spirit stones to acquire thirty-six spells.

some of,
In order to deal with the Gale Falcon
Shen Changchuan chose four targeted spells: Vine Cage Technique, Spirit Binding Technique, Vine Strangulation Technique, and Earth and Stone Gravity Technique.

According to his plan, as long as he could lure the Gale Falcon to the ground, combined with the Soul-Capturing Bell he had obtained from the Four Fiends of Heshan, and the Bewildering Yin-Yang Formation,

With the addition of these enemy-trapping spells, there shouldn't be any problems.

Especially now that he has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining,

Further strengthening of capabilities
That would make things even more stable.

to this end,

Shen Changchuan also asked the manager of Duobaolou if they had any elixirs that could attract demonic beasts.

It actually happened.

Shen Changchuan thus spent over fifty spirit stones to purchase a Beast Saliva Pill.

Even just in case,

Shen Changchuan also spent twenty or thirty spirit stones to buy several talismans.

In total, this cost over a hundred spirit stones.

This also caused Shen Changchuan great heartache.

But it's all worth it.

If that beast cannot be dealt with, and he continues to harass Dawan Village, the village will never be able to live in peace again.

not to mention,
The ruins of that Nascent Soul Realm cave dwelling are located beneath its lair.

If it can't be solved, then there's no point in doing anything else.

"Once I return to Dawan Village, I will further refine these forbidden spells and techniques for trapping enemies to perfection. Combined with these methods, I can at least be 80% confident of defeating them, if not 100% certain!"

After a brief consideration, Shen Changchuan felt confident.

After preparations were completed for facing the Gale Falcon,

Shen Changchuan then focused his attention on improving his own abilities and strength.

Of the thirty-six spells purchased, the majority of the remaining ones were for this purpose.

"The pills are too expensive. Only whales can afford to play this game. Three hundred spirit stones on it probably wouldn't even make a drop of water."

"As for magical artifacts, they will eventually be phased out as one's cultivation level increases, which is a real loss."

"Only through magic, with my progress bar panel, can I cultivate magic to perfection and greatly enhance my strength."

"At the same time, the number of perfect characteristic suffixes that come with them keeps increasing, and my accumulation is also becoming more profound. If my guesses about the characteristics of those characteristics are correct, then cultivating magic will benefit me for a lifetime!"

With this thought in mind
Shen Changchuan decides to go all in!
So he poured almost all the remaining spirit stones into magic.

He planned to master as many spells as possible.

By mastering each spell to perfection, one can enhance their own strength and collect more perfect attributes.

In his conjecture,
After a spell is perfected, the suffix "negligible experience in xx line of spell cultivation" should refer to the accumulation of spell experience in the same line.

If he accumulates enough of this kind of experience, he may be able to master it quickly and easily when he practices spells of the same system in the future!

Even if the effect isn't that dramatic, it's still good if it can lower the barrier for him to cultivate high-level spells.

This is extremely important to Shen Changchuan!

Coming from the Shen family, he knew that in this world where cultivation existed, some powerful supernatural abilities were even more potent than magical artifacts, and without any limitations.
Shen Changchuan had already had this idea for a while.

Now that he has enough spirit stones and has taken the opportunity to build connections, he naturally wants to seize this opportunity to acquire more spells.

but,

Going all in is also a form of wisdom.

"As the saying goes, 'Don't bite off more than you can chew,' and being a jack of all trades and master of none is a big no-no."

"Although there is a progress bar panel, I can eventually grind all kinds of low-level spells to perfection, but a person's energy is ultimately limited."

Although he had ample confidence in his guesses and plans,
But Shen Changchuan did not lose his mind because of this.

“Every day, a large portion of the time needs to be spent on meditation and cultivation, refining magical power to maintain the improvement of cultivation level.” “The remaining time spent on spell cultivation is not much, but unfortunately, the more complex and higher-level the spell, the more difficult it is to improve the progress to perfection.”

"I cannot give up cultivating and improving my realm to focus all my energy on cultivating this spell."

"Therefore, it is impossible to master all the spells in the entire system; one can only focus on one or two."

Shen Changchuan had a very clear understanding of himself.

Perhaps in the future, when his cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage, or even the higher realms of Divine Travel or Profound Core, and he possesses a long lifespan, he might be able to spend some time attempting to master all types of magic.
right now,

Forget it.

Good steel should be used on the blade.

Having such thoughts in mind
Shen Changchuan naturally focused his attention on the most powerful spells he possessed.
That was a spell called Green Wood Sword Light, recorded on a fragment of a page in the True Explanation of Spells compiled by the Four Fiends of Heshan!
This spell
Shen Changchuan has been cultivating for a long time, but so far he has only made 3% progress.

At this pace, it's not even close to the basics.

I've only just learned it.

To unleash this technique, one must stand still, perform hand seals, and mobilize internal mana for nearly ten seconds to condense the sword light, making it unusable in actual combat.

But its power,

It is indeed extremely terrifying.

Shen Changchuan had practiced in the wild before. A complete strike of the Green Wood Sword Light was not only as fast as lightning, but its power could also sweep across an area of ​​more than ten meters!

The divine power it unleashed was so great that Shen Changchuan felt that even if he applied five layers of the Golden Bell Technique, he would not be able to withstand it!

Unfortunately, perhaps he lacked the comprehension.
Since successfully cultivating and causing the Azure Wood Sword Light to appear on the progress bar panel, Shen Changchuan has only cultivated it to 3% progress so far.

To cultivate it to perfection,

Who knows when that will be?

But the suffix that appeared after the spell was completed on the progress bar panel gave him hope.

"If I can also cultivate the Azure Wood Sword Light to perfection, then with its power, I can fight against even a Qi Refining Stage 7 expert!"

"And with such a powerful spell, once I advance to the seventh level of Qi Refining, I will be able to unleash even greater power, and even use it to dominate the late stage of Qi Refining!"

With this in mind,

Shen Changchuan then selected from the remaining thirty-odd spells...
A large number of basic spells related to sword light and shadow, as well as wood-based spells, were selected, such as Sword Light Technique, Sword Gathering Technique, Spiritual Sword Shadow, Sword Aura Technique, Swift Sword Technique, Green Wood Thorn, Falling Wood Technique, Dead Wood Book, Living Wood Technique, etc.

According to Shen Changchuan's perception during cultivation

That green wood sword light should be the result of the fusion of wood-based power and sword-based magic.

If his guess is correct,
If similar spells truly accumulate experience after reaching perfection, then...
So these many basic spells

Perhaps the time and effort required for cultivation will decrease as you progress!
Until the experience is accumulated little by little, it will eventually be able to work on the Aoki sword light!

of course,

Besides the many basic spells purchased for cultivating the Azure Wood Sword Light,

Shen Changchuan also purchased a high-level concealment technique, a movement technique called Spirit Light Swift Shadow Technique, and a fire-type spell called Fire Dragon Technique, among other miscellaneous spells.

This can be seen as a way to compensate for one's own shortcomings.

After buying a whole bunch of spellbooks,

Looking at his suddenly depleted wallet, Shen Changchuan made no further plans to wander around the market.

He bid farewell to Si Houqing and left.

He returned to the inn where he was staying and prepared to recuperate in preparation for the arena battle three days later.

but,

Before Shen Changchuan could recover for long,

A member of the Wu family came to invite them.

　I didn't abandon the project; I just felt too incompetent these past two days, so I went to study other people's books.

　　This book had 400 initial subscriptions, and I just checked the average subscriptions and it's 700? It doesn't seem to be completely doomed yet. I'll adjust things tomorrow and resume two updates a day, and then maybe three more depending on the situation.
