Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 30 The Wonderful Use of Precise Control (Seeking further reading, monthly votes, and recommendations)
I woke up early the next morning.

Zhou Ling arranged the spirit paper, held his breath and concentrated, using his fingers as a pen, and began to try to draw the fire-repelling inscription on the spirit paper.

As Zhou Ling's fingers moved, faint spiritual energy gradually condensed into inscriptions on the spiritual paper.

The inscriptions gradually connected to form an inscription.

[You are drawing the inscription; precision control +1]

[You are currently drawing a Fire-Repelling Inscription. Innate Talent +1, Fire-Repelling Inscription Proficiency +1]

When the fourth inscription was drawn, black smoke rose from the spirit paper, and the spirit paper became dull and lost its luster.

"The campaign has not yet succeeded!"

Zhou Ling shook her head with heartache.

They carefully analyzed the patterns.

One of the key points of fire-repelling inscription is to ensure that the patterns of the six inscription lines are consistent.

This requires extremely strict control over spiritual power.

[You are analyzing the Fire-Repelling Inscription. Basic Analysis +1, Fire-Repelling Inscription Proficiency +1]

Zhou Ling quickly noticed that there were some differences between the third and fourth lines of his tattoo.

The difference between the fifth and third courses is even more obvious.

"The difficulty in refining this Fire-Repelling Seal is much greater than I expected!"

Zhou Ling frowned.

After recovering slightly, he tried refining it a second time.

This time the situation was better than the previous one, but a problem arose again between the fifth and sixth inscriptions.

[You are drawing the inscription, with precise control +1]

······.

After completing the second inscription, Zhou Ling felt some stagnation in his meridians as he continued drawing, followed by a sharp pain.

The excessive consumption of spiritual energy caused a tearing, stinging pain in the meridians.

[You are currently cultivating your inscription skills. Resilience and resilience +1, Spiritual Energy +3]

Zhou Ling had no choice but to stop, sit cross-legged, and circulate the Spirit Flame Technique to cultivate and restore his internal magical power.

The stinging pain in the meridians gradually subsided.

It took Zhou Ling five cycles to recover.

After a moment's thought, "This Fire-Repelling Inscription requires precise drawing of the inscription patterns, consuming far more spiritual energy than other low-grade first-tier inscriptions!"

"To accurately control spiritual energy is no easy feat, especially to draw six inscriptions at the same time!"

Zhou Ling rubbed his forehead, pondering to himself.

"Fortunately, with the [Precise Control] talent now, there is still a significant improvement compared to the previous two inscriptions."

"The effect is within an acceptable range. I have the advantage of talent, and my understanding of inscriptions and mastery of techniques are better than others."

"Now that we have 'precise control,' if we draw it a few more times, we'll master it sooner or later!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Ling felt his stomach growl and realized that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet. He then got up and left the room.

He knew in his heart that drawing the inscription was something that couldn't be rushed.

Moreover, this progress is already quite good.

If it were a cultivator of the same level, it would probably take them three to five days to comprehend this Fire-Repelling Inscription.

After finishing my meal, I returned to my room and rested for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. I felt that my spiritual energy had stabilized.

Zhou Ling began to try drawing again.

······.

Five days passed quickly.

On this day, I returned home.

After finishing his meal, Zhou Ling went into his room.

He took out the spirit paper and began to try drawing the fire-repelling inscription again.

After five days of continuous attempts, he consumed more than twenty spirit papers, and his proficiency in the Fire-Repelling Inscription continued to improve.

Exhaling, Zhou Ling began to circulate his spiritual energy, using his fingers as a brush to draw the Fire-Repelling Inscription.

With the final infusion of spiritual energy into the spirit paper.

Suddenly, a soft buzzing sound rang out. The spirit paper seemed to tremble slightly, and the pale red inscription on it emitted a dazzling red light, within which flickering flames seemed to dance.

Zhou Ling's face was filled with excitement.

"It's finally done!"

[You are currently drawing an inscription. Precision control +1, Fire-repelling inscription proficiency +1]

[Total number of times spiritual power has been controlled: 27 out of 100]

[You are currently drawing a Fire-Repelling Inscription. Innate Talent +1, Fire-Repelling Inscription Proficiency +1]

At this moment, he had consumed less than one-fifth of his spiritual energy.

"【Precise Control】is currently only at the first level, but it can already save half of the spiritual energy consumption."

Zhou Ling carefully examined the Fire-Repelling Inscription while simultaneously sensing the depletion of his spiritual energy.

Their faces were filled with joy.

As his [Precise Control] was activated, he could clearly feel that the consumption of spiritual energy during the process of drawing the Fire-Repelling Inscription was decreasing with each attempt.

As the [Precise Control] level increases, the consumption of spiritual energy will decrease.

"I no longer need to worry too much about insufficient spiritual power when drawing inscriptions."

Zhou Lingxin said happily.

After thinking for a moment, he stood up again, moved the wooden table slightly to make room.

He threw two punches with the Yang Fist.

[You are practicing boxing. Physique evolution +1, Great Yang Fist proficiency +1]

[You are circulating your blood energy, Precision Control +1, Great Yang Fist Proficiency +1]

"Great!"

Looking at the panel prompts, Zhou Ling withdrew his fist and exhaled.

This [Precise Control] talent is useful not only for inscriptions, but also for fist techniques, spells, and so on.

"This kind of control allows one to utilize their magical power and blood energy with the most precise and efficient efficiency, which undoubtedly enhances their personal strength!"

Feeling the changes in the consumption of blood energy within his body, Zhou Ling thought to himself.

With his Qi Refining Level 3 cultivation, even if he could draw the Fire-Repelling Inscription, at least one-third of his internal mana would be consumed.

Now it's only one-fifth, which is the amazing effect brought by the [Precise Control] talent.

Moreover, as the precision of control improves, the results will become better and better.

Zhou Ling could not hide his excitement. After calming down a bit, he solemnly took out the Fire-Repelling Pearl.

Once you can draw the entire magic circle and know where the problem lies, fixing it becomes much easier.

However, he did not rush to make repairs.

Instead, he analyzed the problem several more times to confirm its location before he began to circulate his magic.

As strands of spiritual energy flowed into the bead's inscription, the jade bead emitted a warm, blue light, within which faint ripples of flame emanated.

The light quickly faded.

"It's done!"

Zhou Ling held the Fire-Repelling Pearl in his hand, beaming with joy.

Night had already fallen, and the light emitted by the Fire-Repelling Pearl illuminated the entire room.

······.

The following day, after finishing his morning classes, Zhou Ling took advantage of his lunch break to leave the Taoist academy and go to the Lu family workshop.

"You really repaired the Fire-Repelling Pearl!"

Master Lu took the Fire-Repelling Pearl from Zhou Ling's hand and examined it carefully, his face full of surprise.

Originally, there wasn't much hope, but unexpectedly, Zhou Ling fixed it in just six days.

"Did you really repair it?" Master Lu asked with satisfaction as he put away the fire-repelling pearl, but he couldn't help asking again.

“Of course!” Zhou Ling said confidently.

Master Lu nodded slowly and smiled, "I didn't expect that young Brother Ling would have such skill at such a young age!"

Zhou Ling patted her chest and assured him, "Master Lu, don't worry about the stuff!"

Master Lu looked at Zhou Ling, who had delicate features, fair skin, and a youthful face, yet spoke with an air of feigned maturity. He couldn't help but chuckle, "I happen to have a job opening for a demon hunter right now. Would you like it?"
