Wu Xing Basic Magic Spells Compendium

  Nan Tian Ba is most proficient in earth-based magic, which usually has strong defense but weak offense. As for fire-based magic, although it has strong attack power, Nan Tian Ba only knows one fireball spell.

  Ye Qin finished reading the "Nan Clan's Genealogy" and had a better grasp of Nan Tian Ba's strength in his heart.

  Ye Qin flipped through the "Wind Spirit Classic" and found that it was a secret book of cultivation techniques for the Refining Qi period, specifically designed for those with Wind Spirit Roots, suitable for cultivators with Wind Spirit Roots to cultivate.

  He has already learned "Zuò Wàng Jīng", so there is no need to practice another low-level cultivation method like "Fēng Líng Jīng".

  Ye Qin excitedly picked up the last book, "The Complete Book of Five Elements Basic Spells", this was what he really wanted.

  The book records a total of eight systems of magic.

  Including five common law systems of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, three variant law systems of wind, ice and thunder. Each law system also details a number of basic spells, including offensive spells, defensive spells, and auxiliary spells.

  The book begins by clearly explaining the relationship between spiritual roots and magical techniques.

  Actually, every cultivator can practice all eight schools of magic, but the effect of practice varies greatly.

  For example, a cultivator with an earth-based single spirit root can cultivate all spells. However, the speed is fastest when practicing earth-based spells, and it only takes a few days or half a month to roughly release basic earth-based spells. On the other hand, if one goes to practice fire-based "basic" spells, it will take at least several months or even years of time to possibly release an effect of equal power. If an earth-based spirit root cultivator stupidly practices fire-based "primary" spells, then he may need to practice for dozens of years, or even hundreds of years, before he can possibly release a weak fire-based "primary" spell.

  Jīn líng gēn, most skilled in metal-elemental magic. Mù líng gēn, most skilled in wood-elemental magic. Shuǐ líng gēn, most skilled in water-elemental magic, secondly ice-elemental magic. Huǒ líng gēn, most skilled in fire-elemental magic, secondly wind-elemental magic. Tǔ líng gēn, most skilled in earth-elemental magic.

  Among them, Huo Linggen and Shui Linggen are the two most unstable spiritual roots among the five major spiritual roots, so they are prone to producing the following three variant spiritual roots.

  Wind Spirit Root, derived from Fire Spirit Root, is most skilled in wind-based magic, followed by fire-based magic.

  Ice Spirit Root, derived from Water Spirit Root, is most skilled in ice-based magic, followed by water-based magic.

  Thunder Spirit Root, derived from the fusion of Fire Spirit Root and Water Spirit Root, is most skilled in thunder-based magic, followed by water-based and fire-based magic.

  Normally, having a certain type of spiritual root is required to cultivate a certain system of magic. As long as the cultivator isn't foolish, they won't waste their time cultivating a system that doesn't correspond with their own spiritual root.

  According to this logic, the more spiritual roots one has, the more types of Dharma systems they can cultivate. Those with all five spiritual roots have the greatest advantage and can cultivate all eight Dharma systems without restriction.

  However, in reality, the five-element cultivators do not have an advantage. After all, every cultivator's lifespan is very limited, and practicing magic consumes a lot of time, so no one can practice all the spells of all systems to a high level. Being able to cultivate one system of magic to a high level is already quite good, let alone eight systems of magic.

  Ye Qin finally understood for the first time that spiritual roots and law systems had such a relationship. He also finally figured out why Nan Tianba would have earth-based foundation, primary spells, and fire-based foundation spells.

  He was somewhat annoyed.

  He is indeed a five-element root complete, according to the book, practicing multiple schools of magic at the same time, the practice speed will definitely be very slow.

  What really infuriated him was that when Nan Tianba taught him six or seven auxiliary spells, he didn't mention this matter at all, but instead imparted the basic auxiliary spells of several different systems such as wood, water, and earth to him all at once, intentionally dispersing his cultivation, "killing" him in an imperceptible way. This move was truly sinister beyond compare.

  Ye Qin quickly gathered his emotions and stopped thinking about these things. Anyway, he was going to turn against Nan Tianba, so this account would be settled together with the old accounts from before. Now, his goal was to learn aggressive magic spells and figure out how to get rid of Nan Tianba.

  He currently only grasps a few auxiliary basic spells, and poses almost no threat to Nantian. To deal with Nantian, one can only work hard on the offensive spells in the "Five Elements Basic Spell Compendium".

  He first excluded the defensive and auxiliary spells in the book, and only picked out the attacking spells for study.

  The "Five Elements Basic Spellbook" records a small number of attack spells, about five or six - the fire system's "Fireball", the water system's "Waterball", the earth system's "Earth Thorn", the wind system's "Wind Blade", the ice system's "Ice Cone", and the thunder system's "Thunder Strike".

  Ye Qin intended to select one or two of these aggressive spells to deal with Nan Tian Bao.

  All the way, Ye Qin was pondering these few spells, grasping the subtleties within.

  Hundreds of miles of mountain roads, the donkey cart creaked and swayed, walking in the mountains for seven or eight days. The closer to home, the more uneasy Ye Qin felt. As the donkey cart approached his hometown, a surge of indescribable emotions rose up in his heart, becoming increasingly agitated and unable to calm down.

  That year was a great drought, he and Big Cow left home to make a living, and in the blink of an eye, five or six years had passed. Now Big Cow has become an apprentice blacksmith at Yang's Iron Shop, and he has also become an apprentice herbalist, occasionally learning a few magical techniques, these years were like having a dream, illusory yet real.

  Cheng Da Niu excitedly waved his donkey whip, "Jia, wu~!" His excitement was in no way inferior to Ye Qin's.

  The donkey cart turned over another mountain, and a small valley appeared between the old ditch and the mountain pass. In the valley, there was a small village with dozens of thatched cottages and mud houses, and 20 or 30 households of hunters and tenant farmers.

  Under the big tree at the village entrance, some children wearing hemp clothes were playing with stones. Seeing a small donkey cart swaying into the village, some bold kids stood on the slope beside the village entrance to watch curiously, while some timid ones quickly ran back home, shouting for adults to come out.

  Two or three yellow dogs darted out of the village, wagging their tails and barking excitedly around the donkey cart.

  Many villagers and village women came out quickly, carrying iron forks and hoes, looking towards the village entrance, worried that strong men had arrived. After all, this sparsely populated old village rarely saw outsiders, and it was extremely rare for two strangers to appear today.

  "Wow, isn't that Er Gouzi and Xiao Liu? And isn't that Shi Bo and Zhang Dajie? I'm Da Niu! Do you still remember me?"

  "Awesome!"

  "Qin Ge! It's those two who have come back."

  The villagers looked at them in disbelief, the people who left the village that year had returned. Although they have grown up and changed a lot, their facial features can still be seen. There were several of them who were childhood playmates of Ye Qin and Da Niu, and they could still vaguely see their appearance from back then. The adults looked almost the same, making them even more familiar.

  The donkey cart entered the village under the escort of the villagers, and they excitedly asked about their experiences over the past few years.

  Several village women saw the baskets on the donkey cart and their eyes widened, "Big cow, is this donkey cart yours?" "What's in these big baskets? Coarse cloth? Come quick, a basket of good coarse cloth!" "And fine ceramics, good stuff, only people from the county town would use things like that." The villagers were amazed.

  "Hey, hey, don't rush! Everyone will get a share. My brother Big Cow and Qin Ge are back from the county town, and every household has given us a generous gift."

  "Yeh Jia, hurry back home and take a look at your father's condition."

  The benevolent-looking Stone Old Man, with a heavy heart, puffed on his pipe and said to Ye Qin.

  Ye Qin was taken aback for a moment, responded with a "Hmm!", and quickly jumped off the board car, letting the big cow handle the goods on that donkey cart. He slung his own bundle over his back and followed the faint memories of five or six years ago to walk towards the village, arriving at his family's small earthen courtyard. From afar, he caught a whiff of a strong medicinal herb scent wafting through the air. Having spent so many years in the medicine hall, he was extremely familiar with the aromas of various herbs, and upon smelling it, he knew that it was the herb used to treat severe injuries and bone damage.
