Chapter 45 Condensing Spiritual Flame and Talent [Qi-Absorbing Spiritual Fire] (Please read further with monthly votes and recommendations)

As midnight approached, I felt I had almost fully grasped the essence of the Void Origin Inscription.

Zhou Ling then laid out the spirit paper and prepared to draw.

With the improvement of his comprehension and inscription proficiency, coupled with the assistance of [Basic Insight] and [Basic Analysis], he was soon able to understand the key points and essentials of an inscription.

Even if you don't understand it, just draw it a few more times and you'll master it naturally.

But as he began to draw, things took an unexpected turn.

Since this was the first time drawing two nodes, and the spatial attribute inscriptions were unfamiliar to me.

Not only does it take a long time, but it also consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy.

[You are currently creating an inscription. Precision control +1, Void Inscription Proficiency +1]

"I didn't expect that drawing on spirit paper would consume half of my spiritual power. Wouldn't it consume even more and be even harder to control when drawing on a storage bag!"

Zhou Ling sighed.

Although drawing one or two virtual inscriptions every day can gradually improve proficiency.

I will be able to master it sooner or later.

The key issue is that there are only seven days left for delivery.

Even just a few proficiency points a day is enough to keep you busy!
What should we do?

Zhou Ling thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with a good solution.

The only solution is to practice more and improve proficiency as soon as possible.

Even though it was already midnight, I didn't dare to go to sleep.

Reach out and turn up the brightness of the flint lamp on the table.

He then analyzed the virtual primordial inscription he had just drawn.

[You are analyzing a Void Inscription. Basic Analysis +1, Void Inscription Proficiency +1]

This improvement concerns the method for drawing inscription nodes.

Precise node drawing can also save a lot of spiritual energy.

Afterwards, Zhou Ling sat cross-legged and circulated the Spirit Flame Technique to restore his spiritual power.

[You are absorbing spiritual energy. Spiritual affinity +1, spiritual energy +4]

After circulating his spiritual energy for eight cycles, Zhou Ling was able to resume drawing.

······.

The next morning, Zhou Ling was sitting cross-legged, practicing the "Spirit Flame Technique" to restore his spiritual power.

At this moment, his whole body was flushed red, steam was rising from his skin, and his meridians were throbbing.

"Has the Spirit Flame Technique reached its second level?"

Zhou Ling was excited. According to the records of the technique, entering the second level would give him the opportunity to comprehend the condensation of spiritual flames.

As spiritual energy circulates.

In his palm, a tiny cluster of purplish-blue flames slowly condensed and gently flickered, reflecting a dazzling light throughout the small room.

[Growth Talent, Qi-Nourishing Fire: Able to absorb various forms of heaven and earth energy to strengthen itself, and even modify and utilize them for alchemy, weapon crafting, and magical arts. Requirement: Absorb heaven and earth energy ten times.]

"It has indeed condensed spiritual flames! That's wonderful!"

"It also triggered a talent attribute called [Qi-Eating Spirit Fire]."

Zhou Ling said happily.

However, this is just a small cluster of spiritual flames and doesn't yet possess much power.

According to the "Spirit Flame Manual", Spirit Flames are also divided into nine grades, with grade one being the lowest and grade nine being the highest.

The highest level of the "Spirit Flame Technique" can condense into a second-grade spirit flame.

Moreover, normally, one needs to reach the late stage of Qi Refining to have a chance to condense spiritual flames.

He was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, yet his progress was comparable to that of a genius.

However, Zhou Ling knew in his heart that this was mainly due to the support of his talents of "the more setbacks he encountered, the more courageous he became" and "born with exceptional talent".

The phrase "the more setbacks he faced, the more courageous he became" allowed him to continuously deepen his understanding of the Spirit Flame Technique.

【Born with extraordinary talent】This means that his cultivation efficiency is twice that of other cultivators of the same level.

Of course, my own consistent daily practice also played a significant role.

"According to the records of the Spirit Flame Technique, only when one enters the second level of the technique and condenses a spirit flame can one cultivate the secret techniques recorded within!"

"In that case, we can save the trouble of going to the Taoist academy to exchange spirit stones for spells."

"However, opening up the meridians of the secret technique doesn't seem to be that easy, and it also requires the assistance of a first-grade high-quality fire-attribute spiritual object!"

Zhou Ling thought to himself. After putting away the spiritual flame, Zhou Ling felt that the spiritual power in his body had become even stronger.

As the spiritual flame condensed, a spiritual acupoint within his body was also activated.

I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

With the Spirit Flame, drawing inscriptions will be relatively easier in the future.

Of course, he was also aware that the spiritual flame had only just been formed and its power was limited.

Furthermore, it is still unclear what attributes it possesses.
We need to wait for it to grow and observe it step by step.

However, this was enough to excite Zhou Ling.

Although the power of the spirit flame is not yet strong, the fact that it can be condensed is already extraordinary.

Generally speaking, there aren't many independent inscription masters who can condense spiritual flames.

Zhou Ling was secretly relieved to have Wang Xin, this little rich girl, as her deskmate.

Otherwise, how could I have obtained such a precious cultivation technique as the "Spirit Flame Technique"?

This is far superior to the basic cultivation techniques found in the Taoist academy.

Next, Zhou Ling continued to circulate the Spirit Flame Technique and began cultivating.

A wisp of spiritual flame flashed and disappeared from his body.

[You are absorbing spiritual energy. Spiritual affinity +1, spiritual energy +4]

Half an hour later, Zhou Ling opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face.

With the Spirit Flame Technique reaching the second level, he was able to complete twelve cycles in a single cultivation session.

The speed of absorbing spiritual energy and the efficiency of refining it have both more than doubled.

Moreover, the refined spiritual energy becomes even purer and more concentrated under the tempering of the spiritual flame.

It feels like the spiritual energy absorbed in this way is not much worse than that absorbed from refining the Fire Lotus.

Moreover, before absorbing the Fire Lotus, there was that intense burning pain in the meridians.

Zhou Ling looked quite satisfied with this.

After completing the cultivation, I felt my spiritual energy become abundant again.

Zhou Ling pondered the Void Origin Inscription carefully in his mind.

Feeling that it was about right, I picked up the cloud pattern pen again and continued drawing.

This time, the writing went surprisingly smoothly, and the entire Void Origin Inscription was successfully drawn in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Zhou Ling was still somewhat skeptical, so he took the completed inscription to the window.

Take a close look in the morning sunlight.

Under the [basic analysis], although there are still some obvious shortcomings, it is already good enough to be printed.

Zhou Ling put down the spirit paper and carefully savored the drawing process he had just completed.

With the aid of the Spirit Flame, the two inscription nodes can easily lock in the spiritual energy.

This saved him a lot of spiritual energy.

This greatly increases the ability to draw other composite inscriptions.

About one-third of the spiritual energy in my body has been consumed.

Zhou Ling felt that with the assistance of the Spirit Flame, not only did he consume less spiritual power, but he also became faster and had significantly increased his control over the inscriptions.

"This is the effect of the Spirit Flame on weapon refining!"

Zhou Ling's face lit up with joy.

At this moment, he felt that drawing a seal with fifteen inscription patterns would be no problem at all.

However, Zhou Ling did not dare to be careless.

After all, a storage bag costs more than ten low-grade spirit stones, and if something goes wrong, it will be a huge loss.

There are still six days left. First, improve your proficiency to ensure a sufficient success rate.

Draw it on the last day.

Zhou Ling was making plans in his mind.

[Your spirit flame absorbs the aroma of spirit rice, Spirit Flame Consumption +1]

[Your spirit flame absorbs the aroma of the spirit wine, Spirit Flame Consumption +1]

As the aroma filled the kitchen.

A prompt appears on the panel.
