Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 64 The Essence of Spells

The Sutra Repository is located at the very back of the Chuangong Hall, in a courtyard nestled against a steep cliff.

This place is sparsely populated and has a quiet and peaceful scenery. A mountain spring gushes out from a rock nest below the pavilion and cascades down. The gurgling sound of the water adds to the sense of transcendence.

Zhou Qing said goodbye to Wei Kuang and immediately set off for the Sutra Library.

At the entrance of the Sutra Repository, he saw an old Taoist in a coarse Taoist robe, leaning against the door frame with his hands in his sleeves, squinting his eyes and basking in the sun comfortably.

Because of Wei Kuang's reminder, Zhou Qing already knew that this person was the head of the Transmission Hall, Xu Jingfeng, the Golden Core Master of Qingyun Sect.

Zhou Qing hurried forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings to Grandmaster Xu. Disciple Zhou Qing requests to enter the pavilion to read the classics."

Xu Jingfeng opened his eyes, looked at him, and said, "You are Zhou Qing, not bad."

Then he narrowed his eyes again and said, "Go ahead."

Xu Jingfeng's behavior left Zhou Qing confused. What do you mean by "you are Zhou Qing"? Not bad...

However, what Patriarch Xu said confirmed Wei Xu's statement that he had indeed left his name at the highest level of the sect.

He had always believed that the Qingyun Sect's way of training registered disciples was to let them go, without any restrictions, allowing them to practice and explore their own path freely.

It now seems that there is close attention behind this free-range policy.

At least he did not neglect the potential disciples who were valued by the puzzle solver.

Zhou Qing bowed to Xu Jingfeng again and pushed the door open to enter the Sutra Library.

The Sutra Repository has nine floors.

Among them, the spells of the Qi Refining level are on the three levels below, which is also where Zhou Qing can get involved.

Spells are stored in categories according to the five elements.

Zhou Qing wanted to find the magic that Liu Bingxuan used to plot against Wei Xu, analyze its principles, and see if there was any way to use his own method against Wei Xu.

Liu Bingxuan was a wood element cultivator, so Zhou Qing searched for it in the wood element magic.

The light in the Sutra Library was dim, and the air was filled with the rich fragrance of books.

There were numerous spells for each attribute. Zhou Qing searched for a long time before he found a spell called "Divine Drunkenness" in the Wood Element section.

In order to avoid making a mistake, Zhou Qing spent some time searching among the wood-type spells, and finally determined that among all the wood-type spells, only this one could cause a person to fall asleep.

Zhou Qing walked out of the Sutra Library with the scroll. As he left, he respectfully said, "Master Xu, I would like to borrow this scroll."

Xu Jingfeng glanced at the scroll in his hand, a meaningful smile on his face, and said, "Go over there and register yourself. Remember, you are not allowed to copy and spread it privately, otherwise you will be treated as apostasy."

Zhou Qing's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Disciple, please remember this."

After registering, Zhou Qing returned to his own villa.

He did not remember to read, but instead completed his meditation and Qi training exercises. Only when it was late at night and everyone was asleep did he open the book.

He first browsed through it and found that this small book of dozens of pages was mostly pictures of the human body's meridians, with only some small annotations beside the pictures.

Then he began to read carefully from the beginning.

Zhou Qing quickly immersed himself in the mysteries of magic, constantly digesting the knowledge he had learned.

It took him an hour to finish reading this small book of only thirty pages, and at the same time he gained a general understanding of the practice of magic.

According to Zhou Qing's understanding, the two major parts of a cultivator's practice are Qi Refining and Magic. Qi Refining is centered around the meridians, while Magic is centered around the five internal organs and the extraordinary meridians surrounding them.

Of course, above Qi refining and magic, there is also an overall hub, that is, the heart of Tao or the mind.

The heart of Tao is the main one, the spiritual energy running in the meridians is the energy source, and the five internal organs and the extraordinary meridians surrounding the five internal organs are where the magic is formed.

For example, the wood element aura corresponds to the liver, so all wood element spells are centered on the liver and the thirty-six extraordinary meridians surrounding the liver.

Magic practitioners need to channel the spiritual energy flowing through the meridians into the liver through specific extraordinary meridians for smelting, and then output it through specific extraordinary meridians, so that the smelted spiritual energy can vibrate the spiritual energy in the heaven and earth, thereby manifesting the effect of the spell.

Different spells require different extraordinary meridians, either two or three, or ten or eight, and the order of their entry and exit is also different.

If there is even the slightest mistake, the five internal organs will be damaged and the foundation of the Tao will be completely destroyed.

The spell of "Divine Intoxication" only requires the spiritual energy to pass through the extraordinary meridians after three days. It is a relatively simple spell that can be practiced when one first enters the Qi Refining stage, but the upper limit is not high.

Generally speaking, even if it is the same spell, the effect will be very different when used by monks with different levels of cultivation.

For example, although both are Immortal Intoxication, a Jindan Great Immortal can use it to instantly put a Foundation Establishment cultivator into a deep sleep, while Liu Bingxuan can only bully a cultivator who has just entered the sect like Wei Xu.

But on the other hand, the power of spells also has its limit.

The upper limit of a spell depends on whether the monk can use the spell to influence monks of the same level.

For example, the upper limit of Divine Drunkenness is the fourth level of Qi Refining. A cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining can use Divine Drunkenness to make the cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining fall asleep by using all his strength.

However, a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining cannot use this spell to put another cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining into a state of sleep.

This is the upper limit of divine intoxication.

The further a monk's level is from the limits of a certain spell, the easier it is to escape its influence.

A cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage, let alone using the Divine Drunkenness to put a cultivator of the same level into a deep sleep, even if he used it against a cultivator who had just entered the Golden Core stage, at most he could make him dazed for a moment. Therefore, for a Golden Core cultivator, the Divine Drunkenness was an extremely inefficient spell.

They need higher-level spells.

Zhou Qing knew the three strange meridians needed for "Divine Intoxication" by heart, and began to slowly guide the wood element spiritual energy in his body to pass through the three strange meridians in order.

He quickly understood the nature of this magical practice.

When the wood element spiritual energy passes through the extraordinary meridians, its frequency is constantly being corrected. Different extraordinary meridians have different effects on correcting the spiritual energy frequency.

The final superimposed effects are naturally more different, which leads to a wide variety of spell effects.

The liver is like a natural furnace that can fix the spiritual energy whose frequency has been corrected by the strange pulse, and then output certain spells.

The difficulty in practicing magic lies first in remembering the order of the extraordinary meridians. Once confusion occurs, it can easily lead to death. Secondly, the mind must firmly control the spiritual energy and prevent it from running around.

Zhou Qing's mind was firm, and he had a magnetic field that could help restrain the spiritual energy. In addition, the Divine Intoxication was extremely simple, so it only took him half an hour to guide the spiritual energy into the liver.

He continued to experience the liver's effect on refining spiritual energy, and then output the refined spiritual energy from a specific strange meridian.

A wave of spiritual energy emanated from him, then gradually weakened, and finally disappeared into thin air less than two feet in front of him.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

His cultivation is still too shallow. Even if he can cultivate magic, the power and range of the spell are actually worrying. It can be said that the spell has no great practical value.

However, he originally had no intention of using magic to fight Liu Bingxuan.
