48 Spirit Eyes Technique and Wind Control Technique
"Alright, let's talk about auxiliary spells then. Old ghost, tell me what kind of auxiliary spells you know."
"Hey, kiddo, can I tell you all the secrets of my household? I'll only teach you two of the lowest-level but most practical basic spells - Spirit Eye Technique and Wind Control Technique."
Nan Tian Ba smiled slyly, he was eager to obtain the White Mang but he also knew that Ye Qin would not be able to resist learning his magic. He was still too tender for a fight like this.
"What are these two spells used for?"
"Lingmu Shu is a comprehensive technique that is applied to the eyes, allowing one to see the concentration of spiritual energy or the depth of a cultivator's magical power wherever their gaze falls. This technique consumes very little magical power.
Yufeng Shu is a light body technique that belongs to the wind system. After it is activated, the user merges with the wind and their body gradually becomes lighter until they are as swift and agile as the wind. Once Yufeng Shu has been mastered, one can manipulate the wind at will, jumping dozens or even hundreds of meters with ease."
"How does this Wind Control Technique compare to Lightness Skill?"
"Haha, can the mundane martial artist's lightness skill be compared to our immortal family's Wind Control Technique? Don't mention this again, lest you sully my ears. Both techniques are fundamental skills suitable for the first and second layers of the Refining Qi stage. You've just entered the second layer of the Refining Qi stage, even if I were to tell you higher-level techniques, you might not be able to execute them, so learning these two techniques is most suitable."
Ye Qin thought to herself, previously when searching for spiritual stones, she completely relied on her intuition to sense the spiritual energy of objects, which required a very close distance and wasn't necessarily accurate, making it quite inconvenient. This Spiritual Eye Technique can observe the density of an object's spiritual energy; if it's practical, perhaps it could be of great help.
As for the Wind Chasing Skill, although it can't be used in battle, if Blink really can run out a distance of several tens of meters, this distance is quite astonishing and should be very good for escaping.
The two eventually reached a compromise, with Nan Tianba using his magic to exchange for Ye Qin's white mang.
In this way, Nan Tianba no longer needs to ask his grandfather and grandmother, but can't even get a hint of yuan energy. Ye Qin will not lose out because he gave a part of the white mang grass to Nan Tianba.
They still had disputes over how many white mangroves were exchanged for a spell.
Nan Tian boasted that he knew magic, the lion opened its mouth wide, wanting to use a spell to get enough yuanqi for him to cultivate to the fourth layer of yuanqi. Ye Qin was unwilling to agree, that was a huge amount of yuanqi.
Ye Qinguang spent half a year to reach the first level of "Sitting and Gazing at the Nothingness". The higher the level, the more spiritual energy is required. The spiritual energy required for the second level of Qi Refining stage is twice that of the first level. The spiritual energy required for the fourth level of Qi Refining stage is four times that of the first level. The higher the level, the harder it is to cultivate.
Ye Qin, although a newcomer, understood the difficulty of cultivation and would never suffer such a loss.
"Old ghost, I'll use ten days of white mang to exchange for a basic spell from you. Two spells will take twenty days. Anything more is impossible. The specific method of exchange is that I'll give you half of the white mang produced on the floating island every day, and the exchange will stop after twenty days. If you want more white mang, you must bring other spells to exchange."
Nan Tian asked in surprise: "How many white mangroves appear on this island every day? Is there a limit to the number that can't be reached?"
"Of course there are restrictions, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to stay here for half a year and only just finish the first layer of the Qi Refining stage. However, the number of White Mangroves has increased greatly now, and one can produce enough Yuanqi for the first layer of the Qi Refining stage in just one month."
"What? Enough yuanqi to complete the first layer of Qi Refining in just one month? In my younger years, it took me three or four years to cultivate the first layer, and that was with a single Earth Spirit Root. You have a Five Elements Spirit Root, and yet you're cultivating at such a rapid pace in this blessed land?"
Nan Tian Bao was shocked and speechless, consumed by jealousy to the point of madness, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Ye Qin, as if he wanted to swallow him whole and seize the treasure island for himself, so that he could be the only one to enjoy the White Mang, and thus definitely break through to the high stage of Qi Refining within a few years.
Of course, all of the above is just daydreaming.
If he could swallow Ye Qin, he would have swallowed him long ago, no need to wait until the future.
"Alright, I'll use two low-level fundamental auxiliary spells in exchange for twenty days of your White Mang. That's a fair deal."
Nan Tian Bao readily taught Ye Qin the incantations for Lingmu Shu and Yufeng Shu, and his attitude towards Ye Qin also became more affectionate as he began to draw closer to him.
"Kid, I'm not the kind of person who insists on being right. Since I couldn't kill you, I'll just find another body to possess and reincarnate in the future. But before that, I'd like to borrow your White Mang to boost my cultivation a bit. Once I reach the fifth or sixth layer of Qi Refining, I'll find a way to leave this place and not disturb your cultivation anymore. Hehe, as long as you can help me improve my cultivation, I'll naturally give you many benefits. After all, I was once the head of the Nan family, with 30-40 years more cultivation experience than you."
For Nan Tian Bao's sudden enthusiasm, Ye Qin felt extremely disdainful in her heart.
As for Nan Tian Bao, he said that after today, he would look for an opportunity to leave this place.
Ye Qin instead secretly sneered: "Does the old ghost think this is his own backyard, coming and going as he pleases? I'm afraid it still hasn't figured out what this Purple Mansion Floating Island is!"
If this old ghost is allowed to escape and find another host with a spiritual root to seize and rebirth, can he still survive with his terrifying strength?
The old ghost had mentioned before that the Devouring Soul Technique could only be used on people with a spiritual root. It couldn't be used on ordinary mortals, because they wouldn't be able to withstand the powerful soul force of a cultivator and would end up self-destructing. The old ghost had been trapped in the jade pendant for twenty years, also because he hadn't found a suitable host to devour.
Ye Qin didn't want to let Lao Gui leave the Zi Fu at all.
The old devil is in this Zi Fu, although there is some danger to him. However, at least trap the old devil within this void. If you let the old devil leave, he will not be controlled and may bring even greater harm.
Ye Qin obtained two legal spells and did not immediately give them to Nan Tianba Bai Mang. He had to verify first whether the two spells were effective, this old ghost's credit he really didn't trust.
Nan Tian Ba laughed maniacally and flew far away, his voice echoing through the distant sky.
"Alright, kid, you take your time to verify it. I'll go for a stroll around the Floating Island and see what's surrounding this strange island. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and find some treasure."
