Ling Xiao closed his eyes slightly and chewed on the four words "concentrate and gather spirit".
[Concentration and spirit gathering can not only greatly increase the speed of spell casting, but also reduce the unnecessary consumption of mana. This is not a certain spell, but a more efficient state of mana utilization. 】
The old locust tree on the side took the lead in explaining.
[You boy, can you concentrate your mind and gather your soul? Not simple! 】
Then, Xuanjizi also explained it.
Ling Xiao nodded as if he understood, "So I accidentally triggered Concentration and Spirit Gathering at that time? And this realm is far beyond what I can touch now?"
"yes!"
Xuanjizi looked Ling Xiao up and down and asked with a smile: "Are you a body-training monk? Since you have such talent, it is obvious that mana training is more suitable for you!"
The implication was that it was a pity that Ling Xiao had chosen the wrong path.
Ling Xiao could only laugh twice.
What talent does he have?
He finally understood. After seeing the magic power of the girl in white, he had a vague impression of a higher level of magic power in his mind.
Most of this vague impression helped him overcome the bottleneck of making talismans, while the remaining small part played a role in life and death situations.
Unconsciously, he matched the magic power in his impression, and luckily used Concentration and Spirit Gathering!
Now when Ling Xiao was asked to think back on the girl in white's magic power, he couldn't remember a single bit.
So later on, Ling Xiao could no longer concentrate his mind and spirit.
This book had nothing to do with his talent, but it made Xuan Jizi look at him differently.
"Can the Taoist master concentrate his mind and gather his spirit?" Ling Xiao asked curiously.
"Occasionally. Pindao is just like you, unable to do this with subjective consciousness." Xuanjizi sighed.
"If you can't even achieve such a high level of cultivation as the Taoist Master, then I don't have to think about it." Ling Xiao smiled.
"It's rare for a donor to have such a state of mind! Looking at this world, I don't know how many people blindly chase the ultimate power, but ignore themselves. Do they have the ability to control power..."
Ling Xiao pondered: "What the Taoist said was the Rainy Night Butcher?"
During the two months he was in seclusion, it was said that the Rainy Night Butcher once again committed a major crime in a nearby town, causing people in Linfeng City to panic.
For this reason, Hong Captou also paid a special visit to Ling Xiao and invited him to temporarily join the yamen to increase the number of patrols.
Although the reward was generous, Ling Xiao declined at the critical moment of making the talisman.
[Alas, he is talking about himself...]
The old locust tree suddenly sighed quietly.
Ling Xiao was startled.
Sure enough, Xuanjizi was slightly shaken, as if he didn't hear his question at all.
Shaoqing, Xuanjizi came back to his senses and looked pitiful, "Yuye Butcher is also of this type. He feeds the demon with blood, and one day, he will be backlashed by the demon knife!"
As he spoke, there was a soft sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and a young Taoist priest pushed the door in, walked up to Xuanjizi, and saluted: "Master, the disaster relief silver grains in Xifeng Town have been distributed. The people want to go up the mountain to thank you, but I refused on your behalf. .”
After speaking, the young Taoist priest looked at Ling Xiao curiously.
Xuanjizi nodded and said: "Ma Ying, this is Ling Xiao, the benefactor I mentioned to you. Don Ling, Ma Ying is the eldest disciple of Pindao."
Ling Xiao suddenly realized, stood up and said to Ma Ying, "Brother Ma, hello."
Ma Ying returned the greeting politely and then left.
"Pindao, this great disciple has low magic power, but he is an ascetic monk. He has nothing to do on weekdays and can't even see other people." Xuan Jizi shook his head and said helplessly.
【here we go again! 】
[You just say this when you meet someone, but you are obviously very satisfied with Ma Ying! 】
The old locust tree revealed the mystery with disdain.
Ling Xiao could only smile in response to this kind of self-promotion.
Ma Ying is about the same age as him, but he is already at the seventh level of Qi Refining. If his power of calculation is low, then who is he?
Ling Xiao stopped chatting and went straight to the point, saying: "Taoist Priest, I have encountered some problems recently during the process of making talismans. Can you please answer them for me?"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Xuanjizi wondered: "The donor actually has such perseverance and plans to become a talisman maker?"
Ling Xiao learned Xuanjizi's expression just now and sighed: "Yes. Unfortunately, my magic power is low. Currently I can only make fireball talismans, and the success rate is only about 20%."
Xuanjizi's eyes suddenly shone with light, and he looked solemnly as he looked Ling Xiao up and down, as if he had gotten to know him again.
As for the body-forging monks, there are many restrictions in making talismans.
Take mana as an example. The body-forging monk's mana is weak. He often draws the talisman ten or eight times before it is exhausted. He cannot draw it many times in a day.
In addition, body-forging monks have no advantage in spiritual consciousness, which greatly hinders their performance in making talismans.
The first-level talisman has a success rate of 20%, which is already the efficiency of a formal talisman maker!
"Have you ever learned from a master, Mr. Ling?"
"No."
Ling Xiao shook his head.
He can't say that it was Leng Chunhua who gave him the advice, right?
【Yo! not bad! ] The old locust tree said in surprise.
Xuanjizi's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Ling Xiao.
Despite the many restrictions imposed by the body-building monks, this kid has reached this point alone...
Xuanjizi smiled and said: "It's not easy! If you have any questions, little friend Ling, just tell me, I know everything!"
"It's like this. I've been making talismans recently. I feel very confident every time, but the success rate cannot be improved. I always fail inexplicably..."
Before Ling Xiao finished speaking, the old locust tree said rudely: [Stupid! My spell practice is not good enough! 】
Spell cultivation, not in place?
Ling Xiao was stunned.
Then I heard Xuanjizi say with a smile: "Little friend Ling, have you realized the word talisman? Since the talisman..."
Ling Xiao quickly asked: "Is it because I don't practice enough magic?"
Xuanjizi's words stopped abruptly and he choked for a while before he nodded and said: "That's right! According to what you just said, you are already very skilled in drawing runes. What limits the success rate is not the drawing of runes themselves, but the drawing of runes themselves. It’s your attainment in magic.”
"Take your fireball technique as an example..."
Xuanjizi spoke eloquently.
Ling Xiao listened attentively, sometimes suddenly enlightened, sometimes thoughtful.
Xuanjizi started from the practice and daily use of fireball, to the combination of spells, runes, and spiritual consciousness. It seemed like an endless stream. Before you knew it, more than half an hour had passed.
Just a fireball talisman, Xuanjizi talked about it for so long!
After listening to it, Ling Xiao also felt that he had benefited a lot.
Just a fireball talisman, it turns out there are so many ways to do it!
Finally, Xuanjizi cleared his throat and said: "In short, if you want to make a breakthrough in talisman, you must practice talisman drawing and spells. An excellent talisman maker is also an excellent spell master. Please remember this." a little."
"Based on what I just said, do you know any tips for practicing magic?"
Xuanjizi asked again, his eyes serious, like a teacher expecting an answer from his students.
Before Ling Xiao could answer, the old locust tree started shouting.
【of course I know! 】
[When a spell maker practices spells, he must not only study how to master the spells, but also always think about how the spells resonate with the runes. While casting the spell, simulate the process of making the talisman, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort! 】
I see!
The first step in learning how to make spells is to simulate the process of casting spells while drawing.
After advancing, you have to do the opposite, simulating talisman making while casting spells!
Ling Xiao quickly relayed Laohuaishu's answer.
Hearing this, Xuanjizi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I believe this time that you really have never been a teacher! Otherwise, with your understanding and a little guidance from a good teacher, you should have become famous long ago!"
