Six Realms Immortal Emperor

"What I just used were six basic spells: water, earth, fire, metal, lightning, and wind—simple attack spells suitable for early-stage Qi Refining. Only when you reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining can you learn other, more powerful spells. Would you like to learn these spells?" Yue Zhi explained patiently, looking at Xu Jingtian with a smile.

"Of course I'll learn," Xu Jingtian couldn't help but swallow.

"However, the six elements of magic—water, earth, fire, metal, thunder, and wind—each have their own emphasis and focus on different foundations. You can practice a combination of them, or you can focus on one particular one. How do you plan to practice?" Ochi asked.

"Which spell is more powerful?" Xu Jingtian asked.

"Haha, mastering any skill to perfection is incredibly powerful," Ochi said with a mocking smile.

"Elder Ochi, which one do the disciples usually learn?" Xu Jingtian asked, still unwilling to give up.

"We cultivators focus our main energy on improving our cultivation level, leaving little energy for anything else. Ordinary disciples only cultivate two or three of them, while genius disciples can cultivate all four," Ochi explained.

"So, the more you learn, the better?"

"Not entirely. After all, cultivators have limited energy. If they learn too much, their energy will be scattered, resulting in a lack of mastery over quantity. They may not necessarily be as powerful as those who specialize in a particular spell!"

"Elder Ochi, then I will learn it all," Xu Jingtian said with great pride.

"Haha, you little rascal, you've got guts! I like ambitious guys like you!" Ochi laughed.

"Elder Ochi, you're so amazing, I can't be too cowardly." Xu Jingtian didn't forget to flatter Ochi from time to time.

"Hahaha, good! As long as you have the energy, I'll teach you everything. Watch closely! This Qi Gathering Technique is used to control water. From fish in the water to trees on the mountain, all things depend on water for life. Therefore, by learning this Qi Gathering Technique, you can control all things in the world. Water turns into vapor when heated, ethereal and uncertain; when it turns into ice when cooled, its chilling aura is deadly."

"This Wind Summoning Technique is used to control the wind. From birds flying in the sky to flying on swords, everything depends on the wind. Therefore, by learning this Wind Summoning Technique, one can control everything in the world. A gentle breeze can make people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze and regain their vitality; a raging gale can make people feel like they are in hell and wish they were dead."

"This lightning control technique is used to control lightning. In all aspects of the world, lightning reigns supreme. There is lightning for reward and punishment, lightning for heavenly tribulations, lightning that shakes the earth, and lightning that overturns rivers and seas..."

Ochi patiently explained and demonstrated these basic spells, and Xu Jingtian learned them with great care. The two were so engrossed in teaching the spells inside the attic that they didn't realize the night had passed and the first rays of dawn were beginning to appear on the horizon.

"Your cultivation is still shallow, so you can't learn too profound spells yet. Go and cultivate for the next few days; you don't need to come to the alchemy room. Remember, you must cultivate diligently and not slack off," Yuezhi said to Xu Jingtian with satisfaction.

"Yes, Elder Ochi!" Xu Jingtian was overjoyed. Just thinking about being able to show off his skills in a few days made him very excited.

"These are two pills. Cultivating these spells requires a huge amount of spiritual energy. Your cultivation has just improved and your realm is still unstable, so don't overexert yourself. Otherwise, your foundation will be unstable, which will be detrimental to your future cultivation." Before parting, Yuezhi took out two pills and gave them to him.

"Thank you so much, Elder Ochi!" Xu Jingtian was overjoyed and quickly accepted the gift.

Back in his room, Xu Jingtian held the pill in his hand, and a medicinal fragrance immediately wafted out. He felt that the pill was radiating an incredibly rich spiritual energy.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Jingtian discovered that the spiritual energy emitted by this pill was more than ten times purer than that in the pill room!

This elixir is extremely important and rare for cultivators. Although many spiritual veins are scattered throughout the peaks of the Brahma Sect, the spiritual energy emitted by these veins is very limited.

Even someone like Xu Jingtian, who is only at the early stage of Qi Refining, can barely absorb enough spiritual energy through daily meditation for cultivation. Those at the middle and late stages of Qi Refining require even more spiritual energy. If he were to rely solely on absorbing the spiritual energy of the surrounding world for cultivation, the effect would be far too poor, and it would be extremely time-consuming, likely making it impossible for him to ever reach the Foundation Establishment stage in his lifetime.

Ordinary outer disciples are neither qualified nor capable of refining pills, so they try every means to obtain them. Some obtain them by completing daily sect tasks, but most spend months gathering spiritual herbs and materials at the foot of the mountain and exchanging them with inner disciples to get a single pill.

After all, compared to sect missions that require venturing into dangerous places, gathering medicinal ingredients is much safer, making it highly popular among outer sect disciples. The only drawback is that it's extremely time-consuming. The variety and types of spiritual herbs needed for alchemy are vast, leaving little time for cultivation as one is preoccupied with collecting them.

Therefore, inner disciples of a sect usually exchange pills for materials from outer disciples, and then hand these materials over to the sect's pill-making elders to refine more pills. The inner disciples keep some of these pills for their own use and use the rest to exchange for materials, so as not to delay their cultivation or waste time.

Therefore, all the outer disciples strive with all their might to become inner disciples.

Ochi was being so kind to him today, teaching him magic and giving him pills, which made Xu Jingtian a little worried. Was it just because he was a so-called cultivation prodigy?

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore!"

Xu Jingtian, disregarding any need for rest, eagerly began practicing the spells he had learned. However, he planned to practice the teleportation spell first, as it seemed to be more useful. He could use this spell to attack wherever there were objects, and it would be a reliable weapon in case of danger.

With this in mind, he put it into action.

To master the Teleportation Technique, one must first have skillful control over spiritual energy to accurately attack the opponent. So Xu Jingtian began repeatedly controlling his spiritual energy, practicing according to the incantations taught by Yue Zhi. This practice lasted all day. Only after he was certain he could skillfully circulate spiritual energy within his body as required did Xu Jingtian begin practicing the Teleportation Technique.

As Ochi explained earlier, when you first start practicing these spells, it's best to get used to the flow of spiritual energy before trying to cast spells, otherwise you might easily hurt yourself.

Therefore, Xu Jingtian could only slowly and carefully practice the teleportation technique after becoming proficient in circulating spiritual energy and ensuring there were no more mistakes.

At first, he couldn't generate any wind with his fingers. He practiced for several hours, but his technique and incantations were still not up to par. He could only produce a small breeze, not even enough to move a bamboo slip. His performance was far from what Ochi had demonstrated. Xu Jingtian was quite discouraged.

"Again!" But Xu Jingtian was not discouraged.

He knew there were no shortcuts to cultivation; only by burying himself in diligent practice could he learn real skills.

After practicing for several more hours, the incantation and techniques gradually became more proficient, allowing him to control the wind with ease. Xu Jingtian was overjoyed and persisted in his practice. Gradually, he was finally able to control the wind into wisps.

He excitedly focused his finger energy on his palm, and with a gentle flick, the bamboo slips on the bed rose up and hung steadily in the air. With another flick, the bamboo slips flew towards the wall with a whoosh, only to be bounced back by the stone wall.

"Too weak, let's try again!"

After repeating this three times, he waved his hand, and with a whoosh, the bamboo stick was nailed straight to the wooden bed. Xu Jingtian finally mastered the teleportation technique.

A smile finally appeared on Xu Jingtian's handsome face. Although he had been cultivating for several hours, this was the first time he had ever possessed magic that could be used to attack or protect himself.

However, Xu Jingtian became somewhat discouraged after that. He practiced a spell, and almost half of the spiritual energy in his dantian was used up.

"This really consumes a lot of spiritual energy!" Xu Jingtian exclaimed. Just think of Yue Zhi, who could refine pills for an entire day; how abundant must his spiritual energy be?

Left with no other choice, Xu Jingtian took out the pills that Ochi had given him from his pocket.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, swallowed the pill in one gulp, and began to expel the old and take in the new.

A massive surge of spiritual energy immediately flowed through his meridians to his limbs. He instantly felt the domineering power of this spiritual energy; compared to the weak spiritual energy around him, this was like a mighty river, fiercely and wildly filling the meridians of his body.

so comfy!

As the spiritual energy from the pills was continuously absorbed into his body, Xu Jingtian closed his eyes and gradually entered an unprecedented state.

This seems like a dream; I can't see anything clearly.

Xu Jingtian walked slowly forward. Through layers of mist, he could vaguely see a vast plain. In the distance, a towering mountain peak rose, its base obscured by clouds; only its piercing summit was visible. He felt he had seen this peak somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it. Xu Jingtian slowly approached the mountain, only to find it receding from him, disappearing completely with each passing moment…
