Chapter 20 Edition
"A magician?" Wu Bing felt confused: "Aren't you yourself?"

"It's like this." Lu Ang explained: "I grew up in a small mountain sect. When my master taught me, he only talked about spells, not magical powers."

"When you besieged me, you could turn into a tiger, that old man could send out palm power, and that woman could become invisible. These should be what you call magical powers, and you should also be magical practitioners."

"Then, what I want to know is how these magical powers are cultivated, and what is the relationship between their strengths and weaknesses? In other words, what are the levels of your magical powers? For example, first-class magical masters, advanced magical masters, etc."

"This...even if you are a hermit sect, how could you not teach these things? This is the most basic thing." Wu Bing shook his head: "For thousands of years, they have been talking about magical powers, and they are all the same way."

"What's that?" Lu Ang said with a gesture: "Brother Qingwu is willing to teach me."

"There is no such thing as a high-level magical power. There are only two of them. Those of us who have mastered three thousand small magical powers are magical power warriors!" Wu Bing began to explain: "And those who have mastered any 36 Tiangang or 72 Those who possess magical powers are those with great magical powers."

"The magical power that exploded from your fingertips before was probably a small magical power, and the magical power you used to protect yourself should also be a small magical power. However, no matter how many small magical powers you master, as long as you don't If you know 36 Tiangang or 72 Disha, you are a magical practitioner!"

"That's it..." Lu Ang fell into thinking.

Well, it is true that the "Iron Body Skill" and "Stone Breaking Technique" that I know are not popular in the world of immortality. Their power is limited, and they can be regarded as minor magical powers.

However, aren't these 36 Tiangang and 72 Disha things from "Journey to the West"?Brother Monkey is 72 Disha, and Bajie is 36 Tiangang. According to this setting, aren't those with great supernatural powers very powerful?

I don’t know if I can learn these 36 Tiangang and 72 Earthly Evil magical powers. If I learn one, maybe I won’t have to worry about a mere foundation-building monk like Guanshi Liu when I go back.

Thinking of this, Lu Ang immediately asked: "So, this... this hypothesis, I want to learn another magical power, where should I learn it? Should I go to a sect to become a disciple?"

"What? Learn another one?" Wu Bing was very surprised: "Are you really not afraid of death?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Ang didn't understand.

"You have at least three magical powers now!" Wu Bing explained: "One more magical power means an extra price. How can you afford to learn another magical power?"

"Price? What kind of price?" Lu Ang said he didn't understand.

"You don't understand this? Then how do you resist the price?" Wu Bing asked.

"I didn't pay any price..." Lu Ang said truthfully: "When you release your magical powers, won't you consume spiritual power?"

"Spiritual power?" Wu Bing fell into deep thought and didn't speak for a long time.

Finally, he sighed and began to explain: "I don't know what your situation is, but all magical powers come with a price, just like our [Tiger Transformation] magical power at Crouching Tiger Villa, which requires growing up with a young tiger. When the opportunity comes, kill it with your own hands, sew its tiger skin on your body, and then use the secret method to swallow the tiger meat and bones before you can cultivate it. Moreover, after each activation, you need to drink a cup of tiger blood. , Suppress the animal nature in your heart, otherwise, you will lose your mind, turn into a tiger again, choose people to eat, and never be able to recover your human body..."

"These are the prices I pay for mastering this magical power!"

As he spoke, he took a gourd from his waist, opened it and took a sip.

I see!I mean, why can't he take off the tiger skin? It turns out it's sewn onto his body!
How painful this must be!Will it not cause inflammation or infection?This [Tiger Transformation] magical power seems to be very ordinary, so the price must be too tragic, right?This is totally not worth it!It’s okay not to learn such magical powers!

"So, does this Tiangang Disha's magical power come with a price?" Lu Ang continued to ask.

Even if you have to learn and pay the price, you have to learn from the strongest one!
"Of course there are." Wu Bing introduced: "It's just that most of the costs are known only to these great magical powers themselves. Only a few are spread and everyone knows."

"What's it like?" Lu Ang was curious.

"For example, the most famous Tiangang supernatural power [Driving a Dragon and Controlling a Phoenix] requires the user to pass the assessment of the Dragon Palace or the Phoenix Palace, successfully marry into the Dragon Palace or the Phoenix Palace, and then remain true to one's heart and stay with that dragon or that phoenix for the rest of their lives. A pair for life, until death." Wu Bing introduced.

"This doesn't seem to count as a price, right? It's just that it's a little difficult to get started, and you have to take an assessment." Lu Ang asked back.

"It is indeed difficult to get started. Except for the royal family, no one knows where the Dragon Palace and Feng Palace are, but the most important price is not changing one's heart." Wu Bing explained: "There was once an emperor who married into the Dragon Palace and got a dragon companion, but in During one of my cruises, I met a woman wearing a veil. She just looked back and was swallowed by a giant dragon at her crotch."

"The royal family? Is this a magical power passed down by the royal family?"

"Yes, at the end of the previous dynasty, the world was in chaos. A pair of brothers and sisters, riding a dragon and a phoenix respectively, pacified the world and established Dayu." Wu Bing sighed: "Emperor Wu at that time was even more favored by the Dragon Palace. He led the three dragons in the Northern Expedition, killed the chief priests of the five foreign races, and even wounded the legendary Immortal Sky, which made the northern barbarians dare not go south for hundreds of years."

"Then the emperor and Longfeng are married, what will happen to the children? Can they have children?"

"What's the matter? It can be passed down to the younger brother or nephew. As long as the next generation has someone who [drives the dragon and controls the phoenix], the heir can be directly confirmed." Wu Bing regretted: "It's a pity that for four consecutive generations in these years, for some reason, the royal family has only one [ There are none who can ride a dragon or a phoenix, otherwise how could those foreign races dare to invade the south?"

"It's time, it's fate!" He sighed.

"Then, if I want to learn the magical power of this Tiangang and Earthly Demon, where can I learn it?" Lu Ang waited for him to finish sighing, then asked.

"This kind of magical power can only be passed down by those millennium-old families or legendary holy places, and it is almost never spread to the outside world." Wu Bing recalled: "But now those holy places basically don't care about worldly affairs. I don't know where they are. As for the thousand-year-old There are quite a few aristocratic families, but unfortunately even if they marry into the family, they may not pass on their family's magical powers to outsiders."

"It doesn't matter, just tell me what families or holy places you know and what magical powers they have inherited." Lu Ang decided to set a goal for himself.

"As for the aristocratic families, there are the first among the generals, the Huangfu family for [Fa Tian Xiang Di], the first prime minister, the Zhuge family for [Qimen Bagua], the first Confucian family, the Meng family for [sacrifice one's life for righteousness]...these are the families with Tiangang supernatural powers. Since the fall of the previous dynasty, they have disappeared together.”

"There are only a few existing aristocratic families, the Longguan Li family's [three heads and six arms], the Qingling Cui family's [throwing beans into soldiers], the Fan Xinglu family's [big and small Ruyi]... and that traitor and traitor, Fang Shan Gu’s [moves the wind and rain].”

"The Holy Land is no longer in the dust now. The world is in such chaos, and no one has taken action. Shushan's [Flying Sword Ten Thousand Miles], Penglai's [Five Elements Escape], Yuxiao Danding Sect's [Heaven and Earth Oven]... are now regarded as What can be seen are some earthly evil spirits, such as the [Five Thunder Method] of Longhu Mountain, the [Unmoved Vajra] of Mahayana Temple, the [Soaring Clouds and Driving the Mist] of Wushan Sect... and the [Lotus Root Incarnation] of those crazy people in the Lotus Sect. ”

Tiangang is missing?These Disha look pretty good.

Seeing the excited look on Lu Ang's face, Wu Bing couldn't help but said: "You don't really want to learn it, do you? You can't learn it without saying it. The price of these great magical powers is no joke!"

"I see."
