However, spells of the fourth level and above are guarded by various prohibition formations deeper in the Sutra Collection Hall.

If you want to go in and read it, you must have a cultivation level of fifth grade or above, and you must have a certificate issued by a full-time professor of the Taoist Academy.

If you want to prove it, Shen Lang has the Jade Talisman token of Wanfa Zhenren, which can be used as proof.

But his cultivation level is not enough. He is only at the sixth level and is not qualified to read the secret spell scrolls of the fourth level or above.

To be honest, most of the spells in the Imperial City Taoist Academy are just mass merchandise.

At the beginning, the Great Chu Emperor Taizu swept across the world, unified the eastern land, established the imperial capital Taoist Academy, and ordered all the practicing sects in the world to contribute their respective secret volumes of code as teaching materials for the Taoist Academy.

At that time, Chu, who had just wiped out all the dragons and snakes in the world, killed all his enemies, and established a country through hundreds of battles, was extremely powerful.

Taizu of Chu himself was the greatest martial arts master in the world.

With a "Nine Sun Sword" and a "War Soul Flag", two martial arts masters were killed with their own hands, and three first-level great masters were beheaded. In the last years of the previous dynasty, murderous intent was unleashed from the sky, and the evil spirit was boiling.

Under the circumstances, countless heroes and strong men emerged.

In just thirty years, five martial arts great masters and eight first-level great masters appeared one after another.

The newly promoted thirteen great masters and great masters, plus the existing ones from the previous dynasty: two great masters and five great masters, there were actually twenty great masters and great masters in the Eastern Land at that time.

coexist in the world.

Of course, most of these great masters and great masters eventually perished in troubled times.

Taizu of Chu killed as many as five people with his own hands alone.

Relying on this great and fierce power, after the world was settled, Chu Taizu ordered all the sects to surrender and hand over their laws. None of the practicing sects dared to resist.

Even Buddhism was forced to make a death agreement with Chu Taizu to make third-grade or above warrior monks and Dharma cultivators and not interfere with the secular world, and offered many Buddhist martial arts and spells.

However, all the cultivation sects also retained their skills.

The real core secrets of each sect, the top true inheritance, were not handed over to the Imperial Taoist Academy honestly.

It is impossible for Chu Taizu to go to war because of this, launch another conquest, and wipe out all the cultivation sects in the East - the world is so big, why can't people run away if they can't defeat it?

When Taizu of Chu was sweeping through the troubled times, there were several sects who were on the wrong team. They were afraid that Taizu of Chu would settle accounts later in the year and did not dare to surrender. They fled the east with their inheritance, or fled to Mobei, or went to the Western Regions, or

Set sail to sea.

Therefore, if all the cultivation sects are really forced to flee one after another, what will be lost will be the foundation of Dachu, and what will be boosted is the strength of Seyi.

Therefore, the great ancestor of Chu could only turn a blind eye to the reservations of various sects, and it was impossible to get to the bottom of it.

As a result, although the Taoist Academy has countless collections of laws and has the most comprehensive magic practice system in the East, there are very few truly top-notch products.

For example, the true secrets of Buddhism that Shen Lang obtained were only in the seventh grade collected by the Taoist Academy.

Moreover, there are no fundamental Buddhist concepts, so it is difficult to exert the strongest power of those Buddhist secrets.

Most of the code secrets of other sects are also like this.

Only a handful of cultivating sects who stood in the wrong team, helped the wrong dragon, refused to run away or surrender, and resisted to the end, were wiped out by Chu Taizu in the chaos of war, and all the secret books of their codes were collected.

However, those practicing sects that have been wiped out will not easily be placed in Taoist academies.

They are all collected by the royal family. Unless you join the royal family, you will never see them.

In short, trying to find top-notch magic spells in the Taoist Temple's "Sutra Collection Hall" is tantamount to digging for gold in the sand.

But Shen Lang didn't care much.

He already had top-notch true secrets, but he lacked too many middle- and low-level spells, and needed more and more comprehensive spells to fill his large number of vacant "spell slots."

As for the top true secret techniques, there are actually not too many from each sect.

Just like Buddhist practice, most of them just use a few top-notch secret techniques, combined with a variety of common spells that are relatively common.

Furthermore, Shen Lang's "Monster Taming Technique Little Moon" also has the ability to deduce.

Although it cannot be deduced out of thin air, as long as it is given enough reference materials, it can deduce a spell to be more complete and powerful.

For example, Dalu Huo's ninth-grade spell "Qi Binding Technique" and the Demon Taming Technique Little Moon can use "Qi Binding Technique" as the basis and refer to similar binding and capturing spells to deduce it into a technique comparable to the true secrets of various famous sects.

.

The only problem is that if the deduction ability of the Demon Taming Art is activated, the speed of producing Emperor Ooze will slow down or even stagnate. Shen Lang needs to carefully consider and make a choice.

In addition, even if Shen Lang could comprehend any spell in one second, it would still take time to construct the spell runes.

It now takes him about a day and a half to successfully construct a ninth-level spell.

It takes a little more than two days for the eighth level, three or four days for the seventh level, and about six days for the sixth level.

So even if he scanned hundreds of spells in one breath, just seven days would not be enough for him to accomplish much.

And he doesn't have that many spell slots. Most of the scanned spells are actually just used for data storage.

Having said that, in the past seven days, he actually hadn't mastered a single spell.

The reason for this is that after he browsed a book that explained the basics of Taoism in detail and finally supplemented the basic knowledge of Taoism, he finally understood what characteristics a true sixth-level Dharma practitioner needs to possess.

The true cultivation of sixth-grade spells requires not only the cultivation of spells, but also the cultivation of all ninth-grade and eighth-grade spells to the point where they can be "cast instantly". The most important thing is to be able to "permanently solidify" a ninth-grade spell.

.

A spell that is "permanently solidified" is not only telekinetic when cast, it consumes very little, less than one-tenth of normal spell casting, and casting the spell will not cause any concussive impact on the spell rune, and can be used indefinitely.

Use it as many times as you like.

This is almost equivalent to some "natural abilities".

After discovering this, Shen Lang consulted many classics and finally found a way to permanently solidify the spell.

So for the past seven days, Shen Lang has been practicing this method, trying to permanently solidify the "Iron Cloth Shirt" on his body.

Iron Cloth Shirt is only a ninth-level spell, but this skill is a true secret method of Buddhism. It can be supplemented by Shen Lang's "Great Sun Tathagata Contemplation Method". If he uses his sixth-level cultivation to cast this skill, the defense power of "Iron Cloth Shirt" will be

It's also quite impressive.

This technique is also a blessing spell. It is directly blessed on one's own skin. It is not like the "golden bell cover" that requires a golden, translucent upside-down golden bell.

Therefore, after permanently solidifying this technique, it can be turned on 24 hours a day and be under the "Iron Shirt" defense at any time.

The magic-side iron shirt that is turned on all day long, coupled with the martial arts-side iron cloth shirt, the golden bell, and the various enhanced defenses given by the little monsters, Shen Lang felt that with his current armor layer, even if

Before the fourth level, mid-level warriors tried to trick themselves, but they still failed to break their own defenses.

After spending seven days to solidify the "Iron Cloth Shirt" permanently, Shen Lang began to formally practice spells, planning to make up for the sixth-grade spells first.

He now only has three sixth-level spell slots in total.

There is already an offensive "Tianlong Curse", the remaining two sixth-level spell slots, and one who plans to practice the "Human Curse" recorded in the one-foot-thick tome given to him by Fa Liuli.

.

This spell is a group control spell that persuades people to "put down the butcher's knife".

It can shake the spirits of multiple enemies at the same time, attack their mental loopholes, arouse and amplify negative emotions such as guilt, regret, sadness, fear, despair, etc. in the enemy's heart, causing the enemy to collapse without a fight, commit suicide without a fight, or

He defected on the spot, and the effect was very impressive.

With an attack, a control spell, and a third level 6 spell, it is natural to choose defense.

Among the Buddhist true secret scrolls obtained by Shen Lang and the tomes presented by Fa Liuli, there are no defensive spells at the sixth level. You have to wait until the fifth level to practice the "Vajra Indestructible Body".

Therefore, Shen Lang chose the "Flowing Cloud Return to Ruins Technique" obtained from the Sutra Collection Hall.

This spell is not a spell that resists attacks like Iron Cloth Shirt, Golden Bell Cover, or Vajra Indestructible Body, but a spell that "guides and unloads" the enemy's attack.

It can emit a flowing cloud to surround itself. When an enemy's attack falls on the cloud, it will be guided and unloaded to the ground under its feet and into the void.

Regardless of martial arts power or attack spells, as long as the defense limit of the spell is not exceeded, the force can be released and directed away.

After starting to practice magic, Shen Lang once again deeply realized why "double cultivation of law and martial arts", even if it is not a law of heaven and earth, is deeply rooted in people's hearts and is deeply regarded by all warriors and monks as an iron law of practice.

Even with a talent like his, after coming to the Tibetan Scripture Hall for self-study, he has not yet involved in many disciplines such as alchemy, weapon refining, formations, etc. He is just practicing spells and has little time to practice martial arts. He can only spare one hour every day to meditate and practice.

There is absolutely no time to practice internal strength and martial arts moves.

The average martial artist basically meditates all night long, replacing sleep with meditation, and practices martial arts moves during the day, so as to ensure continuous improvement in martial arts.

If you only practice your internal strength for one hour a day and don't practice any moves at all, then you really don't practice martial arts at all.

Shen Lang's talent was astonishing. If he meditated for one hour, he could be as good as an ordinary warrior for two or three hours. With the help of "Millennium Chalcedony", his efficiency was tripled, so he did not delay the cultivation of his internal strength.

As for martial arts moves...

Anyway, he is a strong man who advocates simplicity. Why does he do so many fancy tricks?

A man should stand up and deliver, punch to the flesh, and use palms to fight hard.

Whoever moves is the sissy!

Well, you can learn a seventh-grade spell "Spiritual Flying Technique". This technique can make the monk as light as a feather, and greatly improve the monk's reaction ability, movement speed, and vertical leap ability, making the monk's agility no less than the lightness of a fifth-grade warrior.

…

Of course, Shen Lang learned this technique not to move and dodge during a fight, but to facilitate daily travel, chase and escape enemies, and prevent enemies from using their speed to avoid and dodge around.

In short, he practices spells to improve his agility in order to implement the way of being a strong man and to better stand upright.
