Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

138 Chapter 137, Double Happiness

With her hands behind her back, Mu Qingxue stood on the bow of the boat in the face of the strong sea wind. Her long black hair tied into a ponytail fluttered in the wind, and her 300-jin black cloak remained motionless.

Her pure, sweet and pretty face was full of radiance and high spirits, as if something great had happened to her.

Well, for her, there is indeed a great thing.

After leaving Jiange Island for three full days, the fleet encountered only one storm, and none of the sea monsters and beasts hit it.

She also picked up a large wooden box floating on the sea, and opened a small jar of "Wu Jinsha" from it.

The so-called "black gold" is an associated mine of gold, which is very rare, and only appears in a very small number of large gold veins, and even for large veins associated with black gold, it is possible to produce one gold for every ten thousand taels of gold mined. Two Ugins.

Wujin is a natural spiritual metal, which has the ability to improve the rank of magic weapons.

Like the hundred-forged black iron sword, and the black ice sword captured by Shen Lang, if two or three taels of black gold were mixed in during the forging, the grade would be immediately upgraded by one level, and it would be upgraded to a third-grade sword.

And the small jar of black gold sand that Mu Qingxue picked up this time was worth eight or six coins.

Regardless of its value, just using it as a weapon can greatly improve her strength - she has a special talent, her true energy is mutated, and even ordinary gold can be turned into a sharp weapon that is not inferior to the spirit and iron gods. Let alone Ugin?
There was only one storm in three days, and so many black gold sands were picked up. In Mu Qingxue's view, it was a sign that her fortune was coming.

Therefore, she is in a particularly good mood now, and she doesn't even care about the troubles caused by the "devil seed" for the time being.

At this moment, Shen Lang and Chen Yuniang got on the deck talking and laughing.

"Sister, I have developed my internal strength and have been promoted to the sixth rank!"

"Congratulations, Sister Yu, this is truly a double blessing."

"Double happiness? I'm not pregnant!"

"Uh... that's not what I meant. I mean, just now I also suddenly rang like a bell, and the sound lasted for half a quarter. Isn't this a sign of the eighth-rank master? Sister Yu, you have cultivated your internal strength. Promoted to the sixth rank, I am a master of the eighth rank, and can start to temper the internal organs, isn't it a double happiness?"

"That's right, that's double happiness. But you've just reached the eighth rank, and I've already reached the sixth rank. You have to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, be brave and diligent, and strive to catch up with me as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, sister Yu, I will definitely catch up with you."

"However, I feel a bit uneasy. You have to spend so much time practicing spells every day. If you are in martial arts, you may be delayed. But it doesn't matter. Magic spells are indeed better than martial arts. That old boy Li Ying doesn't even count as a seventh-rank. But back then on Shark King Island, a single spell made me clumsy and slow like a snail... I am not even afraid of the fifth rank. From now on, you practice spells, I practice martial arts, and I will charge in front. Later cast spells to restrain us, we join forces, the world is invincible..."

"Hmm, invincible under heaven."

"Speaking of which, how many spells do you know now?"

"Not much, just a low-level flame finger, plus four ninth-rank spells."

"Not bad, you have learned four ninth-rank spells, and the seventh-rank warriors are probably no match for you."

Hearing this, Mu Qingxue turned her head abruptly, and looked at the humble Shen Lang in surprise.

The carefree Chen Yuniang didn't know what it meant to learn four ninth-rank spells.

Mu Qingxue is clear, however, that the soul strength of a ninth-rank monk can only accommodate at most three ninth-rank spells, plus six lesser-known minor spells.

And the primordial capacity of the six small spells cannot be combined to increase the position of a ninth-rank spell.

Just like a piece of blank paper, you can write three big characters, and then add some small characters to the corners and gaps, but no matter what, it is impossible to move the three big characters and add another one. Enough space to write full, large letters.

So if it can accommodate the fourth ninth-rank spell, it means that the strength of the soul has surpassed the ninth-rank spell and reached the level of the eighth-rank.

Shen Lang didn't even formally practice "Visual Thought", so with his natural strength of primordial spirit, can he accommodate four ninth-rank spells?

This is simply...

Well, once in 500 years, directly pointing to the first grade, "Earth Immortal" hopeful Taoist genius, that's how it should be.

Mu Qingxue restrained her startled expression, calmed down her mood, and returned to her usual calm appearance.

At this time, Shen Lang and Chen Yuniang came over to say hello to her, Mu Qingxue nodded slightly, and looked at Chen Yuniang:

"Ms. Yu is the sixth rank?"

Chen Yuniang nodded proudly:
"I didn't have a good mind before, and I haven't been able to develop my internal strength for a long time. I got the third-grade martial arts on Shawang Island. I have only practiced for more than ten days, and I have successfully developed my internal strength."

Mu Qingxue smiled slightly: "Congratulations."

Xuan raised his right hand again: "Hold me?"

"Okay!"

Chen Yuniang raised her brows, stretched out her hand without any timidity, and held hands with Mu Qingxue.

The palms of the two separated immediately, Mu Qingxue smiled and praised:
"Although the internal force is not much, it is extraordinarily pure, giving people a sense of being as firm as a rock and as stable as the earth. But under the surface of stability, there is also a sense of bursting like a volcanic earthquake. It is as firm and stable as the earth when it is still, and it is as firm and stable as the earth when it is moving. Violent and violent like a volcano. This method of moving in all directions is indeed a method that perfectly matches Miss Yu's endowment and temperament."

Chen Yuniang chuckled:
"Master Mu is also a scholar? These words are really good. It perfectly describes my characteristics."

student?
Didn't even pass the exam as a scholar, can he be considered a scholar just because he can read and write?
A smile flashed across Mu Qingxue's eyes, she coughed lightly, and looked at Shen Lang:

"You learned another ninth-grade spell?"

"Yeah." Shen Lang nodded: "This time it's an attack spell called 'Fingering Archery'."

He quickly made formulas with both hands, recited the incantation, stretched out his finger, and shot out a translucent cone-shaped ripple from his fingertips, flying several feet away, piercing a thick oak barrel, exposing two fingers Thick and thin round holes.

After breaking through the wooden barrel, the momentum still persisted, and the translucent conical ripple swept forward again, hitting the ship's side, until the wood chips flew around the side of the ship, revealing a round hole half an inch deep.

Mu Qingxue smiled sweetly and praised:

"Sure enough, it's 'Fingering Archery'.

"I am quite familiar with this dao technique. It is a kind of lethal dao technique that has been widely spread in the east. Almost everyone in the dao academy knows it. It is quick to cast and has a long range.

"The power of a ninth-rank monk is comparable to that of a military musket. And the higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the power. Judging from the power of your 'pointing archery', it is no less than that of an eighth-rank monk.

"Although you can't lock the enemy and track the attack, you can only go straight, but if a seventh-rank warrior is careless and fails to dodge in time, he will be shot right through. With this technique, your two heavy guns can be retired gone."

Chen Yuniang shook her head and sighed:

"Ninth-rank spells can threaten seventh-rank warriors, this world is really unfair..."

Mu Qingxue smiled indifferently:

"Spell requires too much talent, and it is extremely difficult to practice. Those Taoist secret scrolls are like heavenly books, and Taoist runes are even more like ghostly drawn symbols. It makes people feel dizzy at a glance. Since practice is so difficult, it is more powerful than Martial arts, it is a matter of course."

Seeing that Mu Qingxue admitted that she couldn't understand the Taoist secret scrolls like ghostly symbols, Chen Yuniang suddenly felt a confidant. Although Mu Qingxue was still her imaginary rival in love, the hidden hostility towards her disappeared for a while. It's pleasing to the eye.

At this time, Mu Qingxue reminded Shen Lang again:
"Although your talent is good, you are still a human being and not a god, and the primordial spirit has its limit, and it is impossible to learn all the spells.

"So when choosing a spell, you need to carefully consider and match it reasonably. Otherwise, if you make a mistake in the mix, if you want to wash out the spell and choose it again in the future, it will be a very troublesome thing.

"As far as I know, even a 'Hua Ling Pill' that can only wash away a ninth-grade spell is worth a hundred taels of gold."

The so-called washing away spells refers to abolishing unnecessary Taoist runes.

Because Taoist runes are constructed with spiritual thoughts and fused with the primordial spirit, they cannot be easily discarded after they are formed, otherwise they will eat back at their own body and damage the primordial spirit.If you really want to abolish it, you have to use the spirit pill to protect the soul and reduce the backlash.

And such panaceas are extremely precious and cannot be obtained casually.

As far as Mu Qingxue knew, it was good to be able to self-destroy a ninth-grade Taoism "Hua Ling Pill" at a small price, and it could be bought for a hundred taels of gold.The price of the panacea used by the eighth grade has skyrocketed to 500 taels.The seventh grade is more expensive, and the minimum is 3000 taels of gold.

If it goes further...forget it, the panacea that can wash away spells above the sixth rank is simply priceless.

"Thank you, Master Mu, for reminding me."

Shen Lang smiled and said:

"When I communicated with Ge Qingyun face to face on Shark King Island that day, he also said similar things to me. So the four spells I'm learning now are Gale Wind Shield, Soul Deterrence Curse, and Bone Dao Soldiers. , and another one is finger archery.

"In this way, defense, control, helper, and attack are all in one, and such a combination should be considered reasonable."

Mu Qingxue nodded slightly:

"It's good that you know how powerful it is. The spell secret scrolls copied from Shark King Island are not too good. The four spells you have learned are already the most practical among them. Next, don't learn those that are not useful. For big side-to-side spells, when you enter the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy, there are plenty of powerful Taoism spells for you to choose from."

She was right.

However, there is actually an eighth-rank Taoism, which is quite practical.

That Taoism is called "Flame Knife", which can shoot a flaming blade with a range of 40 meters.

Although this technique can't track and lock the enemy, if the enemy has preparedness, quick response, and flexible movement, it is possible to successfully dodge it, but in terms of power, it is no problem to kill ordinary sixth-rank warriors.

Shen Lang's current mental strength is enough to construct eighth-rank Taoism.

It won't even take long for him to construct seventh-grade Taoism—during these days, he insisted on clicking on the little moon three times a day to practice the monster taming formula unremittingly.

As of today, his cultivation progress on the second level of the Demon Taming Art has reached 81/100.

Calculated by increasing his practice progress by three points every day, even without the little demon's upgrade reward, he would only need seven days at most to cultivate the "Monster Taming Art" to the third level.

At that time, his mental power will have a leap-forward improvement, and he will be able to practice seventh-rank Taoism.

As for the seventh-rank Taoism secret method, he also happened to have a widely used auxiliary Taoism "Water Mirror Appreciation Technique".

So even though he was very grateful for Mu Qingxue's kind reminder, Shen Lang still decided that on the way back to Yingzhou, he would learn the "Flame Knife" first, and then he would use the "Water Mirror" when he was promoted to the third rank of the Monster Taming Art. Appreciation technique" to learn.

Chatting with Mu Qingxue for a while, Shen Lang declared that he would continue to study Taoism, returned to the separate cabin, locked the door, called Xiao Zhao, and asked it in a tone of hatred:

"Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao, when will you be able to advance to the psychic realm?"
