Chapter 16: Spells

Five years later.

Ye Qingxuan was seventeen, his body fully developed. He still wore an ordinary green robe, yet gave the impression of a jade tree standing in the wind.

It had to be said that Ye Qingxuan's appearance in this life was indeed extremely handsome.

And his cultivation base had finally broken through to the third layer of Qi Refining.

If he were in the outside world, relying on his single-element spiritual root to break through to the third layer of Qi Refining would take at least twenty years.

But relying on the excellent cultivation environment and resources within the Xuantian Sect, Ye Qingxuan spent only five years.

This was one of the advantages of joining the Xuantian Sect.

After breaking through to the third layer of Qi Refining, Ye Qingxuan, due to his constantly transforming soul, had even condensed spiritual sense in advance.

It was worth noting that under normal circumstances, condensing spiritual sense required breaking through to the seventh layer of Qi Refining, reaching the late stage of the Qi Refining realm.

But Ye Qingxuan was born with a powerful soul, and combined with five years of spiritual power nourishment, he manifested spiritual sense upon breaking through to the third layer of Qi Refining.

After manifesting spiritual sense, Ye Qingxuan began to study the alchemy inheritance given to him by his family.

With the assistance of spiritual sense, his entry into the threshold of alchemy would be much smoother.

The alchemy inheritance prepared by his family was a fifth-tier alchemy technique, corresponding to the Nascent Soul realm. The inheritance contained many elixir formulas ranging from first to fifth tier.

This made Ye Qingxuan overjoyed. A fifth-tier alchemy technique was enough for him to study and use for a very long time.

When he began learning alchemy, Ye Qingxuan did not rush to purchase an alchemy furnace and spiritual herbs for practice. Instead, he calmed his mind to absorb the foundational knowledge of alchemy.

Due to his constantly transforming and strengthening soul, Ye Qingxuan's ability to learn and comprehend was extraordinarily monstrous.

From the characteristics of tens of thousands of spiritual herbs to the differences in various fire intensities, in less than a year, Ye Qingxuan had learned, absorbed, and mastered them bit by bit.

Furthermore, the Fire Control Technique included in the alchemy inheritance was mastered by Ye Qingxuan after only a few attempts.

With his current theoretical knowledge of first-tier alchemy, Ye Qingxuan was already comparable to most first-tier alchemists.

What he lacked now was only practical operational experience.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan prepared to go out, purchase an alchemy furnace and some spiritual herbs, and attempt alchemy himself.

At the same time, Ye Qingxuan prepared to go to the Dharma Transmission Hall of the sect to exchange for several spells to cultivate.

Besides the series of Fire Control Techniques inherited from the alchemy inheritance, he possessed no other spells.

Having made up his mind, Ye Qingxuan stood up, opened the courtyard gate that had not been opened for a long time, and left Fuxiu Courtyard alone and silently.

For such a long time, most people in Fuxiu Courtyard hardly knew that Ye Qingxuan even existed.

After leaving Fuxiu Courtyard, Ye Qingxuan used his disciple token to ride the teleportation array, preparing to go to the Dharma Transmission Hall first.

The Xuantian Sect also had a Library, but the Xuantian Sect's Library stored miscellaneous books from the entire Di-Xuan World. The books covered every aspect of the Di-Xuan World, and their number was countless.

Therefore, to distinguish them, cultivation-related inheritances, spells, and the like were exchanged at the Dharma Transmission Hall.

As for the Library, it became an open book hall used to broaden the horizons of the sect's disciples.

Disciples often found bargains in the Library, discovering some excellent spell inheritances.

The Xuantian Sect did not mind this, as certain elders within the sect enjoyed this kind of malicious fun.

As long as one was willing to bear the loss themselves and did not harm the interests of the sect, the Xuantian Sect was happy to see it happen.

After Ye Qingxuan arrived at the Dharma Transmission Hall, surprisingly, no one was guarding it. At the massive entrance, over a thousand disciples were coming in and out.

Out of curiosity, Ye Qingxuan followed the crowd into the interior of the Dharma Transmission Hall.

"Where is this?"

Looking at the unfamiliar environment before him, Ye Qingxuan was somewhat astonished.

After entering the interior of the Dharma Transmission Hall, Ye Qingxuan felt as if he had entered another independent space. The people who had entered the Dharma Transmission Hall with him had already vanished.

The space inside the Dharma Transmission Hall made Ye Qingxuan feel as if he were in a starry expanse. The originally dim space was illuminated by countless stars filling the sky.

Soon, a piece of information appeared in Ye Qingxuan's mind, and he immediately understood the method of exchanging spells in the Dharma Transmission Hall.

It turned out that the stars filling the sky in the space were inheritances.

As long as he silently thought of the spell he wanted, if the Dharma Transmission Hall had it, or if it met the requirements, it would appear before him for selection.

After selecting, confirming the deduction of contribution points from his disciple token, Ye Qingxuan could obtain the corresponding inheritance.

Spells were divided into: Low-grade Spells, Mid-grade Spells, High-grade Spells, and Top-grade Spells.

Above spells were Minor Divine Abilities.

The cultivation levels of spells and Minor Divine Abilities were further divided into: Entry, Small Success, Great Success, and Perfection.

Among them:

Low-grade Spells applied to: Qi Refining realm, Foundation Establishment realm.

Mid-grade Spells applied to: Purple Mansion realm, Golden Core realm.

High-grade Spells applied to: Golden Core realm, Nascent Soul realm.

Top-grade Spells applied to: Soul Transformation realm.

Entry-level Minor Divine Abilities applied to: Void Penetration realm.

Small Success Minor Divine Abilities applied to: Empty Void realm.

Great Success Minor Divine Abilities applied to: Tribulation Crossing realm.

Perfection Minor Divine Abilities applied to: Mahayana realm.

Low-grade spells could also be used by high-level cultivators, but when facing cultivators of the same realm, the effect was not very good.

Therefore, after a cultivator's cultivation base broke through, they would cultivate corresponding spells or Minor Divine Abilities for self-defense.

After understanding these things, Ye Qingxuan silently thought in his heart:

"Low-grade Spells!"

Immediately, as soon as Ye Qingxuan finished silently thinking, the countless stars above fell toward Ye Qingxuan like dumplings boiling in a pot, directly dropping a quarter of their number.

"Damn!"

Seeing this scene, Ye Qingxuan was directly startled!

Fortunately, after falling, all the stars merely orbited not far around him, displaying the names of various spells.

Such as Lightness Technique, Wind-Riding Technique, Earth-Escape Technique, Clear Wind Sword Art, Water Bullet Technique, Wood-Entanglement Technique, Earth-Spike Technique, and so on, densely packed appeared before Ye Qingxuan, making him feel dizzy and confused.

Ye Qingxuan shook his head, and after his mind cleared slightly, he began to ponder in his heart.

Exchanging one basic spell requires one thousand contribution points.

His current contribution points, besides the one thousand received upon breaking through the Qi Refining realm, also include a monthly stipend of thirty points; over five years, that totals one thousand eight hundred points.

Combined, he has only two thousand eight hundred points in total, meaning he can temporarily exchange only two basic spells.

Among the two spells, Sword-Riding Technique must be exchanged.

The Xuantian Sect is extremely vast; distant locations can be reached via teleportation arrays, but nearby places must be traversed by oneself.

To save time and facilitate travel, exchanging for Sword-Riding Technique is indispensable.

Having made his decision, Ye Qingxuan directly murmured in his mind:

"Sword-Riding Technique!"

Instantly, the dense array of basic spells surrounding him vanished completely, leaving only the Sword-Riding Technique.

After Ye Qingxuan paid one thousand contribution points with his token, the star cluster of Sword-Riding Technique before him instantly split off a stream of light, which merged into Ye Qingxuan's mind.

After merging with this stream of light, Ye Qingxuan received the inheritance of the Sword-Riding Technique.

At the same time, a restriction was left within the content of the Sword-Riding Technique inheritance, preventing Ye Qingxuan from transmitting it externally.

Regarding this, Ye Qingxuan did not care too much in his heart.

As a hegemon-level power, it is quite normal for the Xuantian Sect to restrict the dissemination of its own inheritances.

After exchanging for the Sword-Riding Technique, Ye Qingxuan pondered again which spell he needed to exchange for next.

Being inside the Xuantian Sect and holding the status of a Fortune Cultivator reserve, Ye Qingxuan had absolutely no need to engage enemies in the short term.

Even after truly becoming a Fortune Cultivator, he might not even make a move once in several thousand years.

Therefore, wasting contribution points to exchange for basic spells right now is completely unnecessary.

Since that is the case, everything should focus on the future development of the Fortune Land.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan murmured in his heart once more:

"A basic spell that assists and accelerates the growth of spiritual plants."

The next second, dozens of spells floated up around Ye Qingxuan again.

He carefully browsed through all the spells, finally fixing his gaze on the Revival Technique and the Spring Breeze and Nourishing Rain Technique.

The Revival Technique targets small areas or even single spiritual plants; it not only accelerates the growth speed of spiritual plants but also has the effect of healing them.

As for the Spring Breeze and Nourishing Rain Technique, it targets large-scale spiritual plants, capable of casting spiritual rain over a wide area to accelerate their growth.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Qingxuan finally chose the Spring Breeze and Nourishing Rain Technique.

After all, when he later governs a Fortune Land, Ye Qingxuan does not wish to have spiritual plants consume most of his time.
