For ascetics in the foundation-building realm, the spells that can be mastered and cast are extremely limited. The introductory spells of Five Elements Magic are called Five Yin, which are fire drawing, water drawing, sand drawing, gold drawing and wood drawing. These five introductory spells are just for the monks to be able to skillfully activate the power of the five elements and lay the foundation for more advanced spells in the future, so they have basically no offensive power.
After the five spells, there are fireball, flying stone, water and light, solidity and vegetation regeneration. Of these five spells, fireball and flying rocks are offensive spells, water and light spells are defensive spells, solidity is a blessing spell, and vegetation regeneration is not used to heal people, but to promote vegetation.
In fact, strictly speaking, these five spells are to condense the attracted power of the five elements and either throw it out or block it on the body.
For example, the fireball technique and the flying stone technique are to throw out the power of fire and earth elements. The water light spell blocks a ball of water in front of the body to block the attack for the caster. Strengthening technique is to apply the power of metal to weapons and armor to increase the sturdiness of weapons and armor. The technique of vegetation regeneration is to throw the power of wood onto vegetation. It is generally used in the cultivation of herbal medicine to promote the growth of vegetation.
These are the ten kinds of spells that a monk in the Foundation Establishment Realm can master and cast. Although there are still some small changes, the changes are just like that. Among these ten kinds of spells, fireball can be said to be the only one that is an offensive spell with good power. It is also the most commonly used by Foundation Establishment monks. As for the flying stone technique, it really doesn't hurt much if you hit someone with it. It's just a way to interfere with the opponent.
This is why Ye Zan used the fireball technique as an example in the first lesson he gave to the inner disciples. No matter how advanced the spell is, even if he tells it, those disciples who only have the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Realm will not feel it deeply at all. On the contrary, the power of this fireball technique is greatly increased under the influence of burning agent, which will be extremely attractive to these inner disciples.
Of course, Ye Zan is not helpless with other spells. For example, the flying stone technique is originally about flying a stone to hit people, but if you think of some tricks on the shape of the stone and the throwing method, you can also make the flying stone have a certain power. There is also the only protective spell of water light. If the static water flow in the water film can form a rotating vortex, the protective ability will also be improved.
People in this world naturally do not simply accumulate mana when it comes to the study of magic. They also have extremely in-depth research on techniques.
However, in terms of skills, people in this world are more focused on experience, rather than calculating the best result by studying all conditions.
Just like those martial arts and swordsmanship, the reason why those moves were finalized as moves is the result of thousands of actual combats and a lot of experience accumulated by predecessors. However, if you ask why this move is easier to exert force and why it is more suitable for the flow of true energy, few people may be able to answer it in the form of data.
What is the approach of the tech world? For a move, which muscle groups need to be mobilized, how to maximize the power using the principle of leverage, what is the moving distance of the shot, how to maximize the conversion of power into kinetic energy, etc.
Therefore, it can be said that most of the knowledge in this world belongs to empirical science. After thousands of spell castings, we have found the spell casting technique that can achieve the best results. As for why this technique is the best, it can only be proven by comparing the results. For example, in the advanced magic of thunder, they can find the strongest attack method of thunder through a lot of experience, but they may not understand the relationship between voltage and current, and the principle of causing damage to the human body.
And this also gave Ye Zan a space to perform. It’s not that the products of those experiences are necessarily bad, but not all of them are perfect. Therefore, it is reasonable for Ye Zan to use precise calculation and analysis, as well as the application of some scientific principles, to come up with a better spellcasting plan.
Although, the number of people who came to listen to Ye Zan's lectures ranged from ordinary inner disciples, to direct disciples, to Jindan Grandmasters, and finally even the ancestor of Yuanying came. However, Ye Zan did not change the content of the lecture. He did not directly talk about the use of advanced spells just because the Golden elixir masters and Yuanying ancestors could cast more advanced spells. Instead, he continued to talk about these basic spells, and even gave a more detailed analysis and explanation of the Five Instructions.
However, those Jindan masters and Yuan Ying ancestors did not give up attending the lectures, and they listened very seriously to Ye Zan's lectures every time. They found that although Ye Zan was talking about the use of magic, some principles were used in it, which was quite helpful for them to understand the Five Elements.
In fact, what is "Tao"? Isn’t it the law by which everything in the world exists and operates? And aren’t the scientific theorems and laws that Ye Zan brought from the world of science and technology essentially descriptions of some rules? Although those theorems and laws of the technological world may not be able to perfectly explain the existence of "Tao" in this world, they can at least serve as an important reference.
Of course, Ye Zan is not a scientific worker or a science lecturer, so he may not be able to explain many things clearly. Especially some things, even if he copied them over, he couldn't give an impeccable explanation based on the various conditions in this world. Those Jindan Grandmasters and Yuanying Ancestors are not people who blindly listen and follow blindly. They are often able to put forward their own ideas and questions to Ye Zan in response to those situations.
This allows Ye Zan to gain a lot while teaching others. In discussions with other people, Ye Zan was able to see his own shortcomings, know the deviations in his ideas, and make up for and improve his theories.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.
While Ye Zan was preaching and teaching, he also did not delay his own practice. The Nascent Soul Chapter of "Dongxu Lingquan Miaojing" has been completed to its completion. The one hundred and eight acupoints and spiritual springs in the physical body echo the acupoints and spiritual springs in Yuanying's body. A large amount of mana is stored in the acupoints and spiritual springs, and continues to increase in the continuous circulation. What Ye Zan was originally worried about, the problem of the acupoints and spiritual springs with three heads and six arms, was naturally solved. It was just a matter of connecting several points.
However, what makes those inner disciples feel regretful is that after such a long time together, even if all the disciples are very familiar with Ye Zan, no one has been accepted as a direct disciple by Ye Zan.
These inner disciples did not know how terrifying Ye Zan's seniority was, and they only thought that Ye Zan was the junior disciple of the Great Elder Mo Rushi. If he could recruit Qi Qianjun back then, Ye Zan would naturally have no taboos in recruiting disciples from inner disciples like them. However, in fact, let alone the inner disciples like them, with Ye Zan's seniority, even those Golden Pill Grandmasters might not be qualified to become his disciples.
In the past year or so, Qianli Chuanyin has gradually replaced Qianli Chuanyin and become the mainstream communication tool for monks in this world. This also makes the application software in Qianli Chuanshen have more users, and various social platforms are no longer just three or two kittens. On the video platform, many ascetics have begun to play various live broadcasts and win some rewards.
Of course, unlike the world of science and technology, no matter how wealthy the ascetics in this world are, they do not reward tens or even millions at once. After all, spirit stone talisman money is not only currency, but also an important resource for cultivating Taoism. Few people will spend a lot of money just to watch a live broadcast. However, even if the rewards are not large, they at least allow many people who do live broadcasts to have a good extra income, so the competition in this industry has gradually become more and more fierce.
In addition to live video broadcasts, news platforms and social platforms are also popular among these monks. In addition to free news, the news platform also provides regular push notifications for paid subscriptions. Many users choose this option, and they don’t spend much money anyway. And social platforms, such as some forums, also have a lot of users. Chatting and even fighting have become the daily routine of many monks.
With the rise of these things, online payment has also been accepted by more people. As long as both parties have Qianli Chuanshen and both have opened online payment, transactions can be carried out easily. Moreover, with this kind of transaction, you don’t have to worry about the loss of spiritual stones or talisman coins. In the end, you can get high-quality spiritual stones or talisman coins from the bank.
However, in more than a year, some things have not changed much, such as the popularity of spiritual rice. More than a year is only enough time for the spiritual rice to mature for two seasons. Therefore, in some sects, the supply of spiritual rice still exceeds the demand. After all, the seeds of Lingdao will degrade with generations of planting, so Yuqingzong has always controlled the business of Lingdao seeds.
Fortunately, the Yuqing Sect is not greedy. The price of spiritual rice seeds has never been very high. At the same time, it also roped in the Tianbao Sect to do this kind of business, so it did not attract too much hostility from the sect.
Then there is the construction of rail transit. Although it has not yet reached the level of covering all territorial boundaries, it can be considered that more than half of the project is completed. Especially later, several second- and third-rate sects in the Great Jin Kingdom spared no effort to participate in the construction project, which greatly improved the progress of the project.
On this day, Ye Zan finished the inner sect's teaching and did not leave alone as usual. Instead, he followed Wu Changsheng silently to the main hall of Yuqing Sect.
Wu Changsheng walked in front, being followed by Ye Zan, who made him feel nervous all the way. He looked back at him from time to time, but did not see any reaction from him. When he arrived at the main hall, Wu Changsheng looked at Ye Zan, who was sitting alone, and couldn't bear it anymore. He asked, "Uncle, I'm following you all the way, but what do you want to tell me?"
Ye Zan picked up the teacup on the table, looked at it, and put the teacup back, but did not give any answer to Wu Changsheng's question.
Wu Changsheng became more and more unsure. He squeezed out a stiff smile on his face and continued to ask: "Uncle Master, if you have something to do, can you tell me? Your silence makes me really flustered. "
Ye Zan raised his eyelids and glanced at Wu Changsheng in a very lackluster manner. He reached out and took out a Qianli Zhishen from his arms, ran his fingers on it twice, and then turned the screen to Wu Changsheng. However, after doing this, he still said nothing, just letting the other person look at his screen, which was so vivid that he just looked away.
Wu Changsheng shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to turn his eyes to the screen, and saw a forum interface displayed on the screen. One of the titles in red and bold at the top was particularly eye-catching. The title read "Shenhua Realm" The Northwest Taoism Conference will be held soon." Seeing this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart. Although this network has some good features, the problem is also obvious, that is, it is basically impossible to hide things.
The so-called Northwest Dao Sect refers to the area where Yuqing Sect is located, including Ziyang Sect, Wanxiang Sect, Yunding Sect and other second-rate sects. This kind of Tao discussion conference can be said to be a grand gathering of Taoism in the entire Shenhua Domain.
As for such a grand event to be held, Yuqing Sect, as a second-rate sect, should naturally have been notified early and should have been prepared to participate. However, Ye Zan didn't hear any news. He only found out about the Dao Discussion Conference from this online forum, so it's no wonder he behaved like this.
When Wu Changsheng saw this, he immediately understood why Ye Zan reacted this way. He had to explain with a wry smile: "Uncle Master, this Dao Discussion Conference is just a gathering of people from various sects to share their experiences in cultivating Dao. It’s very boring. Uncle Master is currently teaching at the inner sect, so he probably doesn’t have time to attend such boring gatherings, so I didn’t inform you.”
"Haha." Ye Zan didn't say much, just replied.
Wu Changsheng is no stranger to the Internet, so he naturally knows what kind of emotions these two "haha" sounds often represent. He stood up, came to Ye Zan in embarrassment, and continued to explain: "Uncle, I didn't inform you of the news. It is indeed because I didn't think carefully, and I asked your uncle to calm down. But, this argument The conference is indeed not interesting, and we have good intentions."
"I can see this news from the forum. Could it be that I can't see what this Dao Discussion Conference is about?" Ye Zan looked at Wu Changsheng sideways and said. In fact, he knew in his heart that Wu Changsheng and the others did not tell him the news because they were afraid that he would leave the mountain and wander around again. However, he has been living in this mountain for more than a year. Although teaching all day long is not boring, it is a grand event like the Taoism Conference. How can he not go and experience it.
"Uncle Master, do you really want to attend this Dao Discussion Conference?" Wu Changsheng said helplessly. In fact, from the moment Ye Zan learned the news, he knew that it would be impossible to prevent Ye Zan from leaving the mountain. After all, with Ye Zan's seniority, no one could force him to stay on this mountain.
