Zhao Lin grabbed the spirit stone and looked at the spirit beast picture in his mind.
"Don't you want the spirit stone?"
"for you!"
After the spirit beast picture turns gray, the surface is covered with a layer of gray mist, looming, as if it is falling into a deep sleep.
The moment Zhao Lin grabbed the spirit stone, the fog cleared, and the spirit beast picture suddenly lit up, and at the same time a clear cry came out!
Dozens of silver threads stretched out from the spirit beast diagram, like dozens of long "claws", rushing towards the spirit stone along Zhao Lin's arm.
"Zi!"
When the tentacle claws came into contact with the spirit stone, the color at the tip instantly changed from silver to green, spreading towards the spirit beast map.
"It's absorbing spiritual energy."
Zhao Lin's heart was moved, but he was not surprised. He watched everything silently to see what would happen next.
The light waves in the spirit stone flowed, and just as Dong Lingcheng said, the snowflake texture on it disappeared, and the spiritual energy was flowing into Zhao Lin's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a while, the color of the spirit stone became lighter and lighter, turning from green to light green, and then slowly turned to gray.
With a final "crash", it turned into a ball of powder.
Zhao Lin picked up another spiritual stone without hesitation...
In this way, after the spirit beast diagram has absorbed one spirit stone, it then absorbs the second, and the third, until it absorbs all the spiritual energy of the eight spirit stones.
When he picked up the ninth spiritual stone, Zhao Lin's hand shook.
It hurts a little.
But the pain in the body was a pain in the body, and the spirit beast map was his biggest support. Not to mention a few spirit stones, he had to find a way to get hundreds of spirit stones.
Fortunately, after absorbing the nine spirit stones, the spirit beast figure finally stopped and retracted the dozens of tentacle claws.
Then it swayed slightly, and layers of ripples appeared on the surface.
The nine strange beasts in the grid slowly emerged from the "water surface", and their shapes became three-dimensional and vivid, as if they were coming to life.
"They won't crawl out of it, right?"
Zhao Lin was taken aback and looked around quickly.
The living room is not big, and if nine strange beasts come out of it, it may not be able to accommodate them, especially the largest bears and catfishes.
But then, something unexpected happened: the spirit beast map disappeared together with the nine strange beasts in it!
The sea of consciousness was empty, leaving only chaos.
Zhao Lin was stunned.
The spirit beast map sucked the energy of the spirit stone, and then... ran away?
Can’t even the spiritual stones keep you?
Just when he was stunned, a huge Nine Palaces figure appeared out of thin air, blasting away the chaos and falling from the sky!
This Nine Palaces diagram is dozens or hundreds of times larger than the previous spirit beast diagram. It towers majestically, with a dark background and golden lines that are straight and square, as if they were drawn with a giant pen like a rafter.
Zhao Lin "looked up" at the Nine Palaces Picture and saw three big words written on the top: Spiritual Cultivation Picture!
"Spiritual practice map?"
Zhao Lin recited it again and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the spirit beast picture had not disappeared, but had changed its appearance.
Then he wondered in confusion: "What does the word 'Xiu' in the spiritual cultivation diagram mean? How is it different from the spiritual beast diagram?"
The doubts did not last long. Just like the original spirit beast picture, a strange memory flooded into my mind.
Zhao Lin understood everything immediately.
It turns out that the spirit beast map has evolved...
Consciously or unconsciously, he achieved the two conditions for the evolution of the spirit beast map.
1. Collect nine strange beasts.
2. Provide enough spiritual energy.
The evolved spiritual map no longer absorbs the souls of alien beasts, but has the ability to extract monk spells!
Zhao Lin took a breath of cold air.
"Instead of sucking in strange animals, you're sucking in people instead?"
But when he continued to read this memory, he found that it was different from what he thought.
There are three ways to obtain spells in the spiritual chart: absorb, trace, and capture.
The first way: Just like the spirit beast map, when a monk dies, the spirit emerges, and the spiritual map can "absorb" the spells that the monk has mastered.
The second way: the monk is dead, but the skeleton is left behind.
The spiritual chart can "trace" some of the spells mastered by the monks from the bones.
The more complete the bones are preserved, the more spells can be traced back in the spiritual chart.
The third way: if the owner of the spiritual chart comes into close contact with a spell, such as being hit by a spell, the spiritual chart can "capture" the spell.
But these benefits come with limits and costs...
The limitation is that the spiritual map only has nine grids, and each grid can only hold one spell. Only spells with the same attributes and different levels can be superimposed.
For example, the spiritual chart absorbs the "Water Avoidance Technique".
Water avoidance is a first-level water spell, so this grid cannot accommodate any other spells.
Only second-level, third-level and other high-level water spells can be absorbed into it.
"Spells have a maximum level of five, which means that one grid can store spells of the same attribute from level one to level five."
"Nine grids equals forty-five spells... a lot!"
Zhao Lin's mind changed, he figured out the doorway inside, and excitedly punched his palm with his fist.
But when he understood the price he had to pay to obtain the spell, his expression froze.
Spiritual chart analysis spells require spiritual stones. The higher the level of the spell, the higher the degree of mastery, and the more spiritual stones are needed.
To analyze first-level spells, if it is the "entry" level, only one spiritual stone is needed.
A higher level of "proficiency" requires four spiritual stones.
"Xiao Cheng" level one, sixteen spiritual stones...
The number of spirit stones increased exponentially by four times.
Mastery, Dacheng, and Perfection require sixty-four, two hundred and fifty-six, and one thousand and twenty-four spiritual stones respectively!
A thousand spiritual stones can be used to perfect a spell.
Is it expensive?
A little.
Is it worth it?
So worth it!
No matter how ordinary magic is practiced to perfection, it can turn decay into magical power.
If there was an opportunity, a thousand spiritual stones could be exchanged for a spell to be cultivated to perfection. I am afraid that all the monks in the Qi Refining Realm would be willing to sell the pot and even borrow money to get this opportunity!
Second-level spells and third-level spells can also be parsed, but the cost of spiritual stones is even higher.
The overall amount of spiritual stones required for a second-level spell is four times that of a first-level spell, and a third-level spell requires four times that of a second-level spell...and so on.
Zhao Lin silently calculated that it would take 250,000 spiritual stones to cultivate the highest level five spell to perfection!
It’s simply astronomical.
Even with the wealth of a Golden Core cultivator, he couldn't just take out so many spiritual stones.
But Zhao Lin believed that if there was such a deal in the world, no Jindan monk would refuse it.
At the end of this memory, Zhao Lin learned that although the spirit beast map had disappeared, the abilities he had acquired would continue to be retained.
With the growth of cultivation, strength, smell, hearing, self-healing ability, and the perception ability of the six spiritual roots will increase and be further strengthened, and there is no need to absorb souls anymore.
With his doubts gone, Zhao Lin felt reassured and excitedly circled the room.
The evolution of the spirit beast map into the spiritual cultivation map is definitely an "upgrade".
It is more suitable for the world of immortality. After all, the abilities of alien beasts can be replaced by spells.
There is the power of giant force for strength, the magic of magic and flight for speed, and the spells are ever-changing, but attributes cannot replace them.
"Once a spell is absorbed, the properties of the grid are determined, and these nine grids must be arranged reasonably."
"Water, fire, earth, wind, ice, and thunder each occupy one grid, and spells without attributes occupy another grid. That's seven."
"The other two grids are temporarily reserved for backup, and we will talk about it when we encounter a suitable spell..."
Zhao Lin walked around the room again and again, and finally walked to the wooden box containing the spiritual stones, took the spiritual stones out and counted them carefully.
Dong Lingcheng sent 100 spiritual stones. Nine of them were used in the spirit beast map, leaving 91 pieces left.
"One, four, sixteen, sixty-four...these spiritual stones are only enough to cultivate a spell to the proficiency level."
"The spiritual cultivation chart is good, but it costs too much spiritual stones!"
After the excitement, Zhao Lin gradually calmed down and said to himself: "I have to think carefully about which spell to practice first."
