Ling Xiao closed his eyes slightly and chewed on the four words "concentrate one's mind and gather one's soul".

[Concentration and concentration can not only greatly increase the speed of spell casting, but also reduce the unnecessary consumption of mana. This is not a certain spell, but a more efficient state of mana utilization. 】

The old locust tree on the side was the first to explain.

[You kid, can you concentrate your mind and gather your soul? It’s not easy! 】

Then, Xuanjizi also explained it.

Ling Xiao nodded as if he understood, "So I accidentally triggered Concentration and Spirit Gathering at that time? And this realm is far beyond what I can touch now?"

"yes!"

Xuanjizi looked Ling Xiao up and down and asked with a smile: "Are you a body-training monk? Since you have such talent, it is obvious that mana training is more suitable for you!"

The implication is that it is a pity that Ling Xiao chose the wrong path.

Ling Xiao could only laugh twice.

What kind of talent does he have?

He finally understood. It was clear that after seeing the magic power of the girl in white, a vague impression of a higher level of magic power was left in his mind.

Most of this vague impression helped him overcome the bottleneck of making talismans, while the remaining small part played a role in the critical moment of life and death.

Unconsciously, he matched the magic power in his impression, and luckily used Concentration and Spirit Gathering!

Now, when Ling Xiao was asked to recall the magic power of the girl in white, he couldn't remember a single bit.

So later on, Ling Xiao could no longer concentrate his mind and spirit.

This book had nothing to do with his talent, but it made Xuanjizi look at him differently.

"Can the Taoist master concentrate his mind and gather his spirit?" Ling Xiao asked curiously.

"Occasionally, Pindao is just like you, unable to do this with subjective consciousness." Xuanjizi sighed.

"If you can't even achieve such a high level of cultivation as the Taoist Master, then I don't have to think about it." Ling Xiao smiled.

"It's rare for a donor to have such a state of mind! Looking at this world, I don't know how many people blindly chase the ultimate power, but ignore whether they have the ability to control power..."

Ling Xiao pondered: "What the Taoist said was the Rainy Night Butcher?"

During the two months he was in seclusion, it was said that the Rainy Night Butcher once again committed a major crime in a nearby town, causing people in Linfeng City to panic.

For this reason, Chief Hong also paid a special visit to Ling Xiao and invited him to temporarily join the Yamen to increase the number of patrols.

Although the reward was generous, Ling Xiao was at the critical moment of making the talisman, so he declined.

[Alas, he is talking about himself...]

The old locust tree suddenly sighed quietly.

Ling Xiao was startled.

Sure enough, Xuanjizi was slightly shaken, as if he didn't hear his question at all.

Shaoqing, Xuanjizi came back to his senses and looked pitiful, "Yuye Butcher is also of this type. He feeds the devil with blood, and one day he will be backlashed by the devil's knife!"

As he spoke, there was a soft sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and a young Taoist priest pushed in the door, walked up to Xuanjizi, and saluted: "Master, the disaster relief silver grains in Xifeng Town have been distributed. The people want to go up the mountain to thank you, but I refused on your behalf.

.”

After speaking, the young Taoist priest looked at Ling Xiao curiously.

Xuanjizi nodded and said: "Ma Ying, this is Ling Xiao, the benefactor I mentioned to you. Don Ling, Ma Ying is the eldest disciple of Pindao."

Ling Xiao suddenly realized, stood up and said to Ma Ying, "Brother Ma, hello."

Ma Ying returned the greeting politely and then left.

"Pindao, this great disciple has low magic power, but he is an ascetic monk. He has nothing to do on weekdays and can't even see other people." Xuan Jizi shook his head and said helplessly.

【here we go again!】

[You just say this when you meet someone, but you are obviously very satisfied with Ma Ying! 】

The old locust tree revealed the mystery with disdain.

Ling Xiao could only smile in response to this kind of self-promotion.

Ma Ying is about the same age as him, but he is already at the seventh level of Qi Refining. If his power of calculation is low, then who is he?

Ling Xiao stopped chatting and went directly to the topic, saying: "Taoist Priest, I encountered some problems recently during the process of making talismans. Can you please answer them for me?"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Xuanjizi wondered: "The donor actually has such perseverance and plans to become a talisman maker?"

Ling Xiao learned Xuanjizi's expression just now and sighed: "Yes. Unfortunately, my magic power is low. Currently I can only make fireball talismans, and the success rate is only about 20%."

Xuanjizi's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and he looked solemnly as he looked Ling Xiao up and down, as if he had gotten to know him again.

As for body-forging monks, there are many restrictions on making talismans.

Take mana as an example. The mana of a body-forging monk is weak. He often draws the talisman ten or eight times before it is exhausted. He cannot draw it many times in a day.

In addition, body-forging monks have no advantage in spiritual consciousness, which greatly hinders their performance in making talismans.

The success rate of first-level talismans is 20%, which is already the efficiency of a formal talisman maker!

"Have you ever learned from a teacher, Mr. Ling?"

"Never."

Ling Xiao shook his head and said.

He can't say that it was Leng Chunhua who gave him the advice, right?

[Yo! Not bad!] The old locust tree said in surprise.

The way Xuan Jizi looked at Ling Xiao suddenly changed.

Despite the many restrictions imposed by the body-building monks, this kid has reached this point alone...

Xuanjizi smiled and said: "It's not easy! If you have any questions, little friend Ling, just tell me, I know everything!"

"It's like this. When I made a talisman recently, I felt very confident every time, but the success rate couldn't be improved. It always failed inexplicably..."

Before Ling Xiao finished speaking, the old locust tree said rudely: [Stupid! You are not good at practicing magic!]

Spell cultivation is not in place?

Ling Xiao was stunned.

Then I heard Xuanjizi say with a smile: "Little friend Ling, have you realized the word talisman? Since the talisman..."

Ling Xiao quickly asked: "Is it because I don't practice enough magic?"

Xuanjizi's words stopped abruptly, and he choked for a while before he nodded and said: "That's right! According to what you just said, you are already very skilled in drawing runes. What limits the success rate is not the drawing of runes themselves, but the drawing of runes themselves.

It’s your attainment in magic.”

"Take your fireball technique as an example..."

Xuanjizi spoke eloquently.

Ling Xiao listened attentively, sometimes suddenly enlightened, sometimes thoughtful.

Xuanjizi started from the practice and daily use of fireball, to the combination of spells, runes, and spiritual consciousness. It seemed like an endless stream. Before you know it, more than half an hour passed.

Just a fireball talisman, Xuanjizi talked about it for so long!

After listening to it, Ling Xiao also felt that he had benefited a lot.

Just a fireball talisman, it turns out there are so many ways to do it!

Finally, Xuanjizi cleared his throat and said: "In short, if you want to make a breakthrough in talisman, drawing talisman and practicing magic are indispensable. An excellent talisman maker is also an excellent magic master. Please remember this

a little."

"Based on what Pindao just said, do you know any tips for practicing magic?"

Xuanjizi asked again, his eyes serious, like a teacher expecting an answer from his students.

Before Ling Xiao could answer, the old locust tree started shouting.

【Of course I know!】

[When practicing spells, a Talisman Maker must not only study how to master spells, but also always think about how the spells resonate with the runes. While casting spells, simulate the process of making spells, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort! 】

I see!

The first step in learning how to make spells is to simulate the process of casting spells while drawing.

After advancing, you have to do the opposite, simulating talisman making while casting spells!

Ling Xiao quickly relayed the old locust tree's answer.
Chapter completed!
