Although the nightshade plant was eventually destroyed by Lu Jing's play, he was not disappointed, but rather encouraged.
Since he can succeed once, it proves that there is no problem with what he has figured out before.
As long as he continues to practice in this direction, he doesn't lack secret power anyway, and he doesn't need to stop to restore his secret power after casting a few spells like others.
So Lu Jing then spent two hours in the back mountain showing off his lushness.
Later, every time he used Lush and Green ten times, he could succeed almost three times. This efficiency is already amazing for beginners.
Because Xia Huai once said that when she first started practicing spells, her success rate was only about 20%.
This is already the strongest among the disciples in the academy. Of course, Xia Huai achieved this success rate by relying on his qualifications, while Lu Jing basically used a large amount of secret power to achieve this.
After practicing for a while, Lu Jing stopped and checked his Niwan Palace.
He found that he had consumed about one-tenth of his secret power during this period. Naturally, this speed was not as fast as that of sword control. However, this was just the beginning. As long as he continued to practice, as the spells improved, he would not be able to do it every time. You can only cast spells on one plant, and the consumption speed of secret power will naturally increase.
Overall, Lu Jing was quite satisfied with this spell.
In the following week, Lu Jing tested the formations and talismans one after another. Among them, the formations made him love and hate him. Under normal circumstances, the consumption of secret power was obviously not as fast as his continuous casting, but once there was a strong enemy in the formation, , his secret power consumption speed will increase significantly.
It can even surpass the skill of sword control, but it's a pity that Lu Jing can't find a suitable partner.
The talisman is a bit like a power bank. The spells are written on the talisman paper in advance. When needed, it can be activated with only a small amount or even no secret power.
But the prerequisite is that you have enough money to make the talisman paper, as well as the pigments and brushes needed to draw the talismans. These are all specially made and valuable. They are not the kind of casual talismans in the hands of folk wandering Taoist priests.
Nowadays, Lu Jing has returned to poverty because of his sword, carrying huge debts, and his family has no mine. In addition, the drawing of talismans requires a lot of time, and he even has to learn painting and calligraphy, so he was quickly given up by Lu Jing.
Maybe one day, after he solves the problem of increasing his secret power and pays back the more than 300,000 taels of silver he owes Chi, he can then consider converting the secret power he cannot use up every day into talismans to carry with him.
In addition, Lu Jing also learned about weapon refining and alchemy, but these two are actually more like composite subjects.
Taking weapon refining as an example, it is actually a combination of spells, formations and talismans.
The person who refines the weapon needs to use formations to control the fire, combine various spells to achieve the various environmental conditions required for smelting, and then engrave runes on the weapon. The whole process is complicated, and the most important thing is that it wastes too much. The time is spent on things that have nothing to do with the consumption of secret power.
For example, Chi actually spent most of her time searching for and experimenting with new weapon-refining materials, and this was the main reason why Lu Jing didn't want to refine weapons with her.
But as for the elixir, Lu Jing was indeed a little moved after asking Ding Liu.
According to Ding Liu, there should be pills in this world that can consume the secret power, and even pills that can control the expansion of Niwan Palace.
It's just that Lu Jing himself doesn't have the time to study. Alchemy is even more complicated than weapon refining, and it also requires medical skills as a prerequisite skill.
Lu Jing gave up the idea after seeing the little medicine boy Xixin crying and howling.
However, although he did not intend to refine elixirs, he did not want to give up on this path. Lu Jing took the initiative to bring up this matter when he was training the girl in green shirt to return to the sect with ten thousand poisons.
It just so happened that the latter was now sorting out the prescriptions with Ding Liu, and she was from the Valley of All Poisons, so she knew how to make alchemy herself, so she would get twice the result with half the effort if she learned the art of alchemy.
But Lu Jing didn't expect that the girl in green shirt would give him an answer that surprised him after being silent for a long time.
"I can't practice secret power."
"Why?" Lu Jing was a little surprised.
He asked the young Marquis that the academy did not prohibit the paper figures in the Jinghu Valley from practicing their secret powers, and most places in the library were open to the paper figures, but some paper figures were lazy and did not want to practice on their own.
But the girl in the green shirt obviously does not belong to this category because she has a blood feud.
Speaking of which, Lu Jing seemed to have asked the girl in green a similar question before, but she lied, saying that magic alone could not defeat a peerless master.
Lu Jing felt a little strange at the time, but there was nothing wrong with his words. It was indeed difficult to kill powerful masters with only spells, but having spells would always give you an advantage over no spells in a fight. For example, if you use a light body spell, This can take Qing Gong to a higher level.
Another example is two masters with similar martial arts levels. If one of them knows the invisibility technique, he can take quite the initiative. Lu Jing himself has never used the Dongtian Ling to teach how terrifying it is for masters who have mastered the invisibility technique to the extreme.
But this time, perhaps because she had life-saving grace in front of her, the girl in green shirt finally told the truth.
"The Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons was destroyed. When I was desperate, I met Shaojian Guo and was brought back to the academy by him. He took a fancy to my aptitude for cultivating secret powers and wanted me to become a student of the academy, but only if I gave up revenge." The girl in green shirt said, "Because this is the only way to pass the academy's entrance examination.
"But for me, if I really give up revenge, there will be no difference between living and dying, so I would rather choose to be a paper man in Jinghu Valley, but as a price, Guo Shaojian will not allow me to practice my secret power. ." The girl in green shirt explained, "Because he knows that if I practice my secret power, I will eventually use this power for revenge."
"Is that so?" Lu Jing couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he heard this.
He originally hoped that the girl in green shirt could help him research poisons related to secret power. After all, when it came to using poison, the girl in green shirt, as a remnant of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, was definitely among the best, if not the best in the world.
If Ding Liu helps again, she might be able to develop a poison that can consume the secret power, but now it seems that this road is temporarily unavailable.
The girl in green shirt looked at Lu Jing with a somewhat strange look, "It's okay that you wanted poison that could consume your internal power before. Why did you want poison that could consume your secret power this time? Could it be that you were in the academy?" What kind of enemies did you make?"
Lu Jing said vaguely, "Absolutely. Don't worry...he is also a man of the right path."
However, this time the girl in green clothes was unusually silent. After a moment, she said, "Be careful, you will be discovered by the teachers of the academy, and they will kick you out of here."
After a pause, she added, "I'm not caring about you. I want no one to protect me after you leave, so that I can practice Ten Thousand Poisons and return to my clan.
