Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 24: Battle of Miaokou (Part )

While the two were in a stalemate, another cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining also attacked Zhang Yi.

He did not use the low-grade magic weapon to attack, but put his hands together, silently recited the mental method, and condensed a two-foot-long sharp wooden spike in front of him, shooting towards him.

This is a low-level wood-attribute spell, the Wood Thorn Spell. He has cultivated this spell to a high level and it has extraordinary power.

The reason why he did not use magic weapons to attack was that this magic weapon was of low quality. With the same spiritual power consumption, it was not much stronger than the wooden thorn technique.

Secondly, the magic weapon would be damaged if not handled with care in battle. He only had this one magic weapon, which he had obtained with great difficulty. He usually treasured it very much, but at this moment he was still reluctant to use the magic weapon to attack, for fear that it would be damaged.

Seeing the wooden thorns shooting towards him like arrows, Zhang Yi took out a black talisman in his hand. As the black light of the talisman bloomed, a water curtain condensed around him, wrapping him inside.

Talismans are the most useful treasures in battle, no doubt about it. Not only do they consume little spiritual energy from the user, but they are also very effective.

This is because it is a disposable item, and the magic weapon is not only powerful but can be used repeatedly, and its cost-effectiveness is higher than that of talismans, so it is more popular among low-level monks.

Many people would rather save up spirit stones for a long time to buy a magic tool than buy more talismans.

The wooden spurs shot towards the water curtain without making any sound.

The water curtain swayed slightly, and the wooden thorn stayed on it, and disappeared in less than a few breaths. This was something condensed by magic, and when the spiritual power was exhausted, it would naturally disappear into thin air.

The man at the fourth level of Qi Refining saw Zhang Yi's body condensed into a water curtain, covering him. He cast another spell, condensing a one-foot-sized stone in front of him and smashing it towards the water curtain. This was a low-level earth-based spell, the Earth and Stone Technique.

Since he had only cultivated this technique to the intermediate level, its power was not as strong as the Wood Thorn Technique. However, because earth controls water, it had twice the result with half the effort, so he attacked with earth-attributed techniques.

The rocks and earth hit the water curtain, causing a shake before dissipating into the air.

Seeing this, the cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining was both anxious and angry, and he cursed loudly: "Wang Ming, you bastard! That's a first-grade, mid-grade water-attribute defensive talisman. With your mediocre magic power, you may not be able to break through the water curtain defense even if you exhaust your spiritual power."

"Are you planning on keeping that low-grade magic weapon of yours to bury in your coffin, or to bury with your mother? Can't you see that my magic weapon is inferior to his and I'm about to collapse? If you don't attack with all your might, I'll skin you alive when I get back."

The face of the fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator turned red instantly, and he had to use the big knife he carried with him to chop at Zhang Yi.

The knife light chopped on the black water curtain, causing the water curtain to shake. The spiritual power in the monk's body continuously flowed into the magic weapon, and he kept chopping it down with one knife after another.

On the other side, Zhang Ningyuan was also fighting fiercely with the fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

Zhang Ningyuan took out a dark green ruler. Although this magic weapon was not as good as Zhang Yi's black bowl with nineteen layers of restrictions, it only had thirteen layers of restrictions, but it was also a mid-grade magic weapon.

The dark green ruler-long light suddenly increased and turned into a green light that slashed down.

The cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining had only one low-grade magic weapon for self-defense. This magic weapon was a large black bell that was mainly used for defense. The light it emitted condensed into a black bell phantom, protecting the person inside.

The dark green ruler slashed at the black bell, and the green and black light intertwined, continuously making a sound like a huge bell.

Although the grade of this bell is not as good as the opponent's magic weapon, it is good at defense and is very tough, and can fully withstand the attack of medium-grade magic weapons.

The cultivator hid in the shadow formed by the magic weapon and launched counterattacks from time to time, using various spells in turn to attack Zhang Ningyuan, but they were all shattered by the long magic weapon.

While the two were fighting, Song Xian was certainly not idle either. He was under much greater pressure than Zhang Ningyuan because he had to deal with two cultivators of the same level of cultivation alone.

The two men knew that they were no match for Zhang Yi and Zhang Ningyuan, so they set their sights on Song Xian.

One of them was a fat, big-eared, pot-bellied middle-aged man. He put his hands together and threw a fireball of diameter 1.57mm. It was actually an advanced fireball technique.

Although the man was only a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, he looked to be in his forties or fifties. After years of immersion, he had mastered various techniques to an advanced level.

Seeing the huge fireball coming, Song Xian's spiritual power surged into the Youlong Sword. In an instant, the red light increased and condensed into a sword light more than three feet high, striking towards the fireball.

At the same time, he secretly opened the Eye of Observation, and all kinds of data immediately appeared in his mind.

.........

Fireball: (Fire attribute)
Attack: 6
……

Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 3.

Spiritual Power:
24(-7)

Spiritual power: 12
Spiritual root attributes: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

...The data of the fat-headed and big-eared man emerged in Song Xian's mind, and he immediately had an idea in his mind. No wonder this man looked almost fifty years old and was still at the third level of Qi Refining. He originally had the qualifications of five spiritual roots.

The more complex the spiritual root attributes are, the lower the aptitude is and the slower the cultivation speed is.

On the other hand, spiritual roots with mixed attributes are far inferior to those with pure spiritual roots in combat.

The real example is right in front of us. If Song Xian uses the fireball technique, he only needs to consume four points of spiritual power, while the opponent needs to consume 7 points of spiritual power.

In other words, the opponent's spiritual power is only enough to use three fireball spells.

He looked at the thin man on his left, who was about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old and had a mustache.

.........

Cultivation: Qi training level 3

Spiritual Strength: 21
Spiritual power: 10
Spiritual root attributes: gold, water, fire, and earth.

.........

One has five spiritual roots, one has four spiritual roots, and two are trash.

Originally, Song Xian was outnumbered and felt quite uneasy, but now he was full of confidence.

The sword energy slashed towards the fireball, making a hissing sound. The two fought for less than a few seconds before the fireball shattered into pieces.

At this time, another thin man with a mustache also launched an attack. A two-foot-long golden spear condensed in front of him and shot towards him. It was also an advanced stage of the golden spear technique.

Golden Gun: (Metallic)
Attack: 7
Although both are advanced spells, gold-attribute spells are superior to fire-attribute spells and have a stronger attack power.

Song Xian took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve. Spiritual power surged into it, and the talisman shone brightly, condensing into a yellow light shield around him, protecting him inside.

This is a first-grade, low-grade defensive talisman with earth attribute, the Earth Shield Talisman.

During the two years he had been in Qingyun Sect, Zhang Shilin had given him many talismans for self-defense.

He now has a total of thirteen talismans on him, five of which are first-grade low-grade defensive talismans, with the attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

Five first-grade low-grade attack talismans, each with its own attributes.

There are also two first-grade mid-quality talismans.

They are a gold-attribute attack talisman and a fire-attribute defense talisman, and these two were drawn by Zhang Shilin himself.

There is also a top-grade speed talisman.

The reason why the earth-attributed defensive talisman was chosen from the five first-grade low-grade talismans was because the thin man with a mustache possessed only the wood attribute among the four spiritual root attributes.

Wood overcomes earth, and since he did not have wood spiritual roots, he used an earth defense talisman.

Talismans are the most useful combat tools. For example, this earth shield talisman has ten points of defense, which is equivalent to the power of a low-level earth-attribute defense spell.

Using this talisman only consumes three points of spiritual power from the user.

Even if one could cultivate a low-level earth-attributed defensive technique to perfection, given Song Xian's spiritual roots, it would still consume four points of spiritual power, but the talisman only required three points of spiritual power.

For example, the thin man with a mustache and four spiritual roots needs to consume six points of spiritual power to cast low-level spells. Even if the advanced stage of the Golden Spear Technique only has seven points of attack power, it cannot break the defense of the Earth Shield Talisman.

The opponent would need at least two spells to break through the earth shield talisman, and after using two spells, the opponent would consume twelve points of spiritual power, while he only used three points of spiritual power.

The opponent's spiritual power is only enough to release three spells, and he only needs two defensive talismans to exhaust the opponent's spiritual power.

The golden spear shot towards the earth cover talisman, making a buzzing sound.

The earth shield talisman vibrated violently, and after a while, the golden spear broke into pieces and dissipated into the air.

On the other side, the sword light had shattered the fireball condensed by the fat-headed and big-eared man and shot towards the man.

The man flew back, put his hands together, and a golden shield formed in front of him, protecting him inside.
