Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 131 130, the god who comes out once in 500 years!

In the afternoon, the storm subsided, and the fleet pulled anchor and set sail.

Shen Lang, who got Mu Qingxue's promise, continued to try to construct Taoism runes after cultivating his spirit.

There was no wind and waves in the afternoon, the boat sailed smoothly, and the cultivation environment was much better than in the morning. Shen Lang sat on the floor steadily, contemplating, imagining that his spiritual power would turn into a silk thread, like a needle threading a thread, weaving a three-dimensional rune in his mind.

The Taoist runes are extremely rigorous, and if there is a slight mistake, the part that has been woven will completely collapse, and all previous efforts will be wasted.

Shen Lang is a beginner and practiced at first, so it is naturally impossible for him to be very proficient in constructing Taoist runes, and he still tries and fails repeatedly.

But the constant attempts and failures also made him gradually accumulate experience and become more and more proficient.

at dusk.

It was dark in the cabin.

Suddenly, Shen Lang slowly opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, there was a flash of light in his pupils, as if some kind of flame burst out, illuminating the cabin for a moment.

Then he pinched a simple hand formula with both hands, recited the two-character mantra, and at the tip of his index finger, a small ball of flame suddenly lit up, like a candle, dispelling the darkness and bringing a little light into the cabin.

After trying all day, Shen Lang finally succeeded in constructing the rune of "Flame Finger" and cast it!

Although the "Flame Finger" is just a small trick that does not enter the ranks, it can only be used to light a lamp to start a fire. Even if a finger pokes a person, it can only ignite the clothes of ordinary people and burn the skin, but the meaning of its appearance is extraordinary .

This means that Shen Lang really has the talent for Taoism, and has officially stepped into the threshold of Taoism.

Seeing the little fire light on his fingertips, the corners of Shen Lang's mouth curled up into a smile.

"Master Mu said that as long as I can cast any spell before I arrive at Jiange Island, she can recommend me to enter the 'Emperor Capital Taoist Academy' to practice... Oh, this is the first day, and I have already succeeded After learning the flame finger, it seems that it is safe to enter the Taoist Temple of the Imperial Capital!"

With a light flick of the index finger, the fireworks on the fingertips were extinguished, Shen Lang meditated and cultivated his spirit.

Casting and maintaining spells also requires mental power.If the mental power is exhausted, the ability to cast spells will be temporarily lost.

Therefore, Taoist monks must continue to practice "viewing thoughts", and constantly strengthen their primordial spirit and spiritual thoughts to improve their endurance.

In addition, each spell has a limit to the number of times it can be cast per day.

This is because every time a spell is cast, when a Taoist rune is activated with spiritual power, it will cause a "concussion impact" to the Taoist rune.

If the number of repeated casts of a certain spell exceeds the limit that the spell can be cast every day, the shock and impact will continue to superimpose, and the Taoist runes of the spell may be overwhelmed and completely collapse.

It is a trivial matter to abolish a Taoism from now on.

The key is that when the Taoist runes collapse, they will have an impact on the sea of ​​consciousness.

Qing Zhe's Sea of ​​Consciousness was injured, and his cultivation regressed.More serious, may have a headache for life.If it is more serious, it may be brain-dead on the spot and become a lunatic.It is even possible that the sea of ​​consciousness will explode, and the soul will be scattered, becoming a living dead without wisdom or knowledge.

Finally, there is also a limit to the total number of "Taoist runes" that Yuanshen can hold.

And if you want to increase the number of times a certain spell is cast per day, and increase the upper limit of the primordial spirit's ability to accommodate Taoist runes, you must continue to practice "viewing thoughts" to increase the strength of the primordial spirit over time.

The stronger the primordial spirit, the higher the level of Taoism that can be cultivated, and the more total number of Taoism runes that can be accommodated. The structure of each Taoism rune is also more stable, and it can withstand more times of "concussion shocks". Cast more times per day.

Although Shen Lang doesn't need to specialize in the practice of "viewing thoughts", he also consumes spells. There is also a limit to the number of times the same spell can be cast per day, and there is also an upper limit to the number of Taoist runes and spell models that can be accommodated.

After successfully cultivating the "Flame Finger", he naturally had a clear understanding of his various upper limits.

The "Finger of Flame" technique, because of its weak power and low level, consumes very little when casting and maintaining it.But because the Taoist rune has just been successfully constructed, the structure of the rune is not particularly stable, so it can only be used five or six times a day.

In terms of the upper limit of spells, now he can construct a total of three eighth-rank spells, six ninth-rank spells, and twelve lesser-known small spells.Any more, and his spirit would not be able to bear it.

Because there is an upper limit to the spells that can be practiced at each stage, and the spells that have been formed cannot be easily abolished, so the practice of spells cannot be done according to one's own preferences.

Unless it is a casual cultivator who really has no choice but to learn something, if there is a choice, you have to carefully consider the combination of spell types.

"Flame Finger" is of little use, for Shen Lang, it's just for practicing and accumulating experience.

After learning this technique, the next spell, he aimed at a ninth-grade spell of the Izumo Kingdom, the "soul-stimulating spell".

The spells of the Izumo Kingdom were born out of the Taoism of the East and combined with the local Shinto spells. Although they claim to be a school of their own, they are essentially the same as Taoism, and they are all the same in practice.

As long as one can practice Taoism, there is no problem in practicing Izumo mantra.

This "soul-stimulating curse" is somewhat similar to the spirit-speaking spell that Li Ying cast in the Shark King Fort. It uses spells to shock the target's soul, causing the target to temporarily fall into a state of trance, with a blank mind, paralyzed limbs, and a weak chicken .

However, Li Ying's magic spell was obviously of a higher rank, and it could deter multiple enemies at the same time. Even Chen Yuniang, who was extremely talented and not inferior to the fifth rank in actual combat, was seriously affected, and her movements became "slow motion".

And the Ninth Rank's "Soul Stimulating Curse" can only target a single target, and the upper limit of its influence is only at the seventh rank—for ordinary warriors of the Ninth and Eighth Ranks, once the Soul Stimulating Curse is applied, the opponent will become a "wooden man" and will be slaughtered.

Seventh-rank warriors exercise viscera, and their vitality is strong. Even if they don't cultivate the primordial spirit, the vitality of their body can feed back the primordial spirit to a certain extent, making the primordial spirit more stable and tough.

Therefore, if a seventh-rank martial artist is targeted by the "soul deterring curse", it will only become "slow motion" for a short time.

Even so, the slow-motion seventh-rank martial artist has basically lost the threat, and is no different from a live target for the duration of the side-faced state.

A mere ninth-rank spell can threaten seventh-rank warriors. This shows how powerful Faye is in the physics department.

However, the difficulty of constructing the Ninth Grade "Soul Deterrence Curse" is more than a notch higher than that of the lower grade "Flame Finger".

The runes are all three-dimensional geometric models, but their structural complexity is more than three times that of the "Flame Finger".

Even if Shen Lang was extremely talented, it would be impossible to construct the runes of the "Soul Stimulating Curse" today.

So he just tried a little bit, and stopped when he felt that it was not working.

It was already dark, and Shen Lang's stomach was growling with hunger, so he had to go out and have a big meal to nourish his physical strength and spirit.

After that, he still has to practice martial arts—although spells are strong, martial arts is also a man's romance. Shen Lang has the opportunity to practice both martial arts and martial arts, so naturally he will not neglect martial arts.

The night was calm and safe.

Early the next morning, the fleet encountered another storm.

Mu Qingxue hid in a place where no one was around and prayed secretly, hoping that it wasn't her fault.

While avoiding the storm, he encountered another mutant great white shark with a body length of more than five feet, and it specifically attacked the Shark King, but Mu Qingxue stopped it in time and killed it with one move.

On the afternoon of the third day, the fleet encountered another storm.

Mu Qingxue stood at the bow of the boat with a numb face, looking up at the dark cloud-covered sky, and letting the rain wet her cheeks, she didn't even bother to use her true energy to resist.

She was completely speechless.

Well, during the storm, there was also a group of bloodthirsty flying fish attacking by the wind and waves, and they only chose the Shark King to attack, and of course they were slaughtered by Mu Qingxue as if venting their anger, and none of the original flying fish pirates were injured.

The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day...

The fleet that has already sailed out of the Thousand Star Islands should not have frequently encountered storms and sea monsters. It still encounters storms every day and is attacked by sea monsters every day. All the members of the fleet were amazed and called out bad luck:

After running the sea for so many years, no one has ever encountered such continuous bad luck like this time.

If it wasn't for the storm, there would always be omens, and the shopkeepers of every ship in the fleet would have one or two unique skills, and Mu Qingxue, a great god, would be in charge, intercepting and killing those sea monsters that would always attack the Shark King for some reason. , the fleet may have been damaged long ago, and I don't know how many people were killed, injured or missing.

In short, this journey was full of twists and turns, and the time-consuming far exceeded Mu Qingxue's expectations - she had already calculated that she had a lot of time, and she could reach Jiange Island in at most six days.

But until the evening of the sixth day, there was still a whole night plus a half-day voyage to Jiange Island.

Based on this calculation, when she arrived at Jiange Island, she used a Taoist magic weapon to force her down, delaying the onset of the injury for nine days, and may make a comeback at any time, and attack her with a more violent posture than before.

This made Mu Qingxue start to think, should he take the fast boat alone, go ahead and arrive at Jiange Island as soon as possible?
But she was a little worried - if after she left, the fleet encountered a storm, a sea monster, etc., wouldn't it be difficult to ensure safety without her in charge?

Even if there is no storm sea monster, Mu Qingxue is still worried.

Without her deterrence, would the pirates drive the fleet obediently and continue to Jiange Island?

If Chen Yuniang is left to take charge of the fleet...

Her character is indeed good, but she has too much prejudice against the Great Chu court, God knows if she will leave with the fleet.

If Shen Lang is left to fetter her...

That's not OK.Chen Yuniang is a daring character, she might take Shen Lang away with her.With Chen Yuniang's strength, if she really wanted to take Shen Lang captive, what would Shen Lang do to resist?
Just as Mu Qingxue was pacing back and forth on the deck, in a dilemma, trying to think of a solution, Shen Lang suddenly came over and said with a smile:

"Master Mu is admiring the moon?"

Mu Qingxue hummed lightly, raised her sweet and pretty face, as if admiring the moon:
"The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

Shen Lang casually echoed a few words and said:
"By the way, Mr. Mu, we will arrive at Jiange Island tomorrow."

Mu Qingxue nodded slightly:

"Yes, if everything goes well, you will be able to arrive at Jiange Island by tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Does what Master Namu said before still count?"

"what?"

"That's what, if I can cast any spell before I arrive at Jiange Island, I will be recommended to go to the Imperial Capital Taoist Temple to practice..."

Mu Qingxue was slightly taken aback, looked sideways at him, and said in surprise:
"You...you can really cast spells, right?"

Shen Lang smiled slightly, but didn't speak, he made a formula with both hands quickly, and recited a mantra, and above his fingertips, a small ball of flame suddenly ignited.

Mu Qingxue stared at the flame for a long time, then pursed her cherry lips and looked at Shen Lang.

Zero foundation, pure self-study, just a few days, really successfully cast spells...

What kind of monster is Shen Lang?

Martial arts talent is already outstanding, rare to see, how can Taoism talent be so amazing?
Mu Qingxue was amazed and emotional, but Shen Lang saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time, and thought she was not satisfied. After all, if he only learned a "flame finger" which is not popular in six days, Shen Lang would feel too ashamed .

At that moment, he flicked his fingers to extinguish the flame at his fingertips, and said with a smile:

"Actually, I learned this spell on the evening of the first day. In the next five days, I learned two more ninth-grade spells. One is the 'Soul Curse' and the other is 'Wind Shield'. The Soul Curse needs to be cast on people, which is inconvenient Demonstration. The words of Gale Shield..."

Shen Lang quickly chanted the mantra again, and suddenly the wind whistled around him, and a pale blue whirlwind appeared around him, wrapping him from head to toe.

Ninth-rank Taoism "Wind Shield", lasts for half a quarter of an hour.

It can bounce flying arrows and stray bullets, and can withstand musket bullets fired directly from ten steps away.

It can also take off about [-]% to [-]% of the strength of a seventh-rank warrior with a single blow, which is a very good self-defense spell.

Hearing that Shen Lang claimed to have learned two ninth-rank spells in just five days, and actually demonstrated one of them on the spot, Mu Qingxue was so shocked that her beautiful eyes widened, her small mouth opened slightly, and she had nothing to say.

If you can learn three ninth-rank Taoism, you can be rated as a ninth-rank monk.And at Shen Lang's speed, he will definitely be able to learn his third ninth-rank Taoism in two or three days at most.

You know, the average time for the proud sons of the "Emperor Capital Taoist Academy" to learn a ninth-grade Taoism is one month.

However, Lian Yunxiao, who is known as a Taoist genius with the highest level of talent in today's Imperial Capital Taoist Academy, is known as the "Little Celestial Master", and it took him seven days to learn his first ninth-level Taoism.

So Shen Lang's Taoism talent is still far above "Little Celestial Master" Lian Yunxiao?

And for the past six days, he hadn't just locked himself in the cabin to study Taoism.

Every morning and evening, he would come to the deck to practice martial arts, to practice combat with Chen Yuniang, and Mu Qingxue would also come down to give him some advice.

Practicing martial arts for no less than two hours a day, and within six days, I can learn a low-level trick and two ninth-grade spells...

Where is Shen Lang, a once-in-a-hundred-year Taoism genius?

It is clearly a god-level genius who is expected to be an "Earth Immortal" once he comes out in 500 years.

With such good quality and quality, he must not be abducted by Chen Yuniang!

With this in mind, Mu Qingxue made a decision, decided not to leave the fleet and go alone, but to stay and watch Shen Lang closely.

As for going to Jiange Island with the fleet, the injury may recur upon arrival, this is a small problem.

So what if the injury recurs?
With her strength, she can suppress the South China Sea Sword Sect even if she loses some vitality!
