Chapter 8: Gathering Spirits and Transforming Rain

Zhang Mengyuan talked a lot, and then began to explain the key points of the Soul Gathering and Raining Art to Zhang Zhixuan.

I had just seen Uncle Seven Zhang Mengyuan use this spell, and Zhang Zhixuan had been familiar with this spell for a few days, so he soon got the clue and started to get started.

The principle of the Soul Gathering and Raining Art is to gather the thin spiritual energy in the world, then communicate the water vapor in the air, condense the water vapor into drops of rain, and then mix the spiritual energy in between.

This spell is the housekeeping method of the spirit plant husband, which is improved from another water spell, the Water Gathering Spell.

When you first learn this spell, you need to cooperate with the magic platform and the formation flag. When you are proficient, you can quickly perform it even without the magic platform and the formation flag.

Zhang Mengyuan returned to the room slowly and moved out a magic platform, four formation flags, two hoes, and some sundries.

He pointed at the altar and said, "This altar is a magic weapon I used before, and it has been shelved for more than ten years.

You have just started to learn this spell, and you don't have water spirit roots in your body, so it may be difficult to cast spells.

I will lend you these two magic weapons first. If you want them after a year, you can buy them with twenty low-grade spirit stones.

Seventh uncle will not take advantage of you. The altar is a second-grade low-grade magic weapon, and the four formation flags are first-grade high-grade magic weapons. When I bought these things, I spent thirty low-grade spirit stones.

In order to become the spiritual husband of the family, Seventh uncle worked hard to accumulate spirit stones for ten years before buying these things."

In the past thirty years, due to the decline of the Zhang family's power, the treatment of the cultivators in the family has gradually decreased.

For the cultivators in the Qi training period of the second spirit root, only one low-grade spirit stone will be issued every month, and a total of twelve low-grade spirit stones will be issued in a year.

The treatment of the cultivators with three spirit roots is much worse, and the treatment is only half of that of the cultivators with two spirit roots, and only six low-grade spirit stones a year.

The conditions for the four spiritual roots cultivators are even worse, and their treatment is only half of that of the three spiritual roots cultivators, with only three low-grade spiritual stones per year.

As for the five spiritual roots cultivators, the family will not invest much resources, and only one low-grade spiritual stone will be issued every year.

"Seventh uncle seems to be a four spiritual root cultivator. When he was young, the family was not as poor as it is now, and the conditions were slightly better. It is estimated that his treatment should be one or two more spiritual stones per year.

When he learned the Soul Gathering Rain Art, he was already over 40 years old, and his family had accumulated wealth for more than ten years, so he could buy magic tools and learn the Soul Gathering Rain Art.

If it is an ordinary casual cultivator, he has neither spiritual veins to cultivate nor the secrets of the exercises, and he can't save a few spiritual stones throughout the year.

Even if you want to become a spiritual plant husband with the lowest threshold among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, it may not be easy."

Zhang Zhixuan thought about it, then reached out and touched the magic platform. He felt a chill in his hand, and took a closer look, and found that the material of the magic platform was actually the best white jade, and a complex rune was drawn on it.

"This is a water-gathering rune. There is also a spirit-gathering rune on the formation flag. When learning spells, your mana will first run along the water-gathering rune, and then converge on the spirit-gathering runes on the four formation flags, and then you can perform the spirit-gathering rain spell.

If you still have abundant spirit stones, go to the market to buy a first-grade upper-grade water-attribute array plate.

The array plate combined with these magic tools can form a second-grade lower-grade water-attribute array. If you encounter a Qi-cultivating cultivator who does not understand the array, you will have a great chance of winning." Zhang Mengyuan seemed to know what Zhang Zhixuan was thinking and continued.

Zhang Zhixuan has been practicing for more than ten years. At the beginning, he was treated the same as a cultivator with three spiritual roots.

After his father passed away, he practiced very quickly, and the family also wanted to compensate him. Now his treatment is equivalent to that of a cultivator with two spiritual roots.

In the past ten years, including the inheritance left by his father, he has handled hundreds of spirit stones. Although he is not very frugal in his practice, he sometimes uses spirit stones to practice extravagantly.

But over the years, more than 70 low-grade spirit stones have been accumulated.

"Since I have decided to guard the spirit field, I must learn the art of gathering spirits and turning them into rain, and I should not save on the investment."

Zhang Zhixuan thought about it and said, "Seventh uncle may not be well-off, but I have plenty of spirit stones now, so I don't have to wait until next year."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhixuan quickly returned to his room and took out a silk package, which contained a one-foot-square exquisite leather suitcase.

Zhang Zhixuan opened the suitcase, which contained dozens of spirit stones of various attributes neatly arranged inside. There was also an eight-inch-long green sword under the spirit stone, and more than a dozen paper talismans on the left, with a pair of palm-sized wooden talismans being the most conspicuous.

This wooden box was Zhang Zhixuan's most important property besides the Taoist books on his body.

Part of these properties were the inheritance of Zhang Zhixuan's father, and the other part was all he had accumulated in the past ten years.

The green sword was a second-level medium-grade magic weapon, the Green Bamboo Sword, made of branches of the mountain gate green bamboo.

The dozen green bamboos at the mountain gate can not only serve as the formation base, but also produce some spiritual talents every year, and refine three or four second-level magic swords.

These magic swords have different qualities. The good ones can reach the second-level upper grade, and the general ones are the second-level middle grade. If the cultivator who refines the weapon is inexperienced, it is very likely that the second-level upper grade spiritual wealth will be used to refine the second-level lower grade magic sword.

This magic weapon was a gift from Zhang Zhixuan's seventeenth uncle Zhang Mengling on behalf of the family after he entered the middle stage of Qi training five years ago.

And the pair of wooden talismans was given to him by the clan leader Zhang Leqian after he broke through the innate realm at the age of six. Zhang Leqian was happy and gave him this pair of wooden talismans.

This pair of wooden talismans are second-level high-quality spiritual talismans. One wooden talisman is sealed with the magic of fire and thunder, and the other wooden talisman is sealed with the magic of gold knife.

The magic sealed by the wooden talisman is quite powerful, no less than the full-strength attack of a ninth-level Qi training cultivator.

Even a sixth-level Qi training cultivator like Zhang Zhixuan would hardly survive if he was hit by this magic without a special mysterious defense method.

The remaining dozen or so spiritual talismans are all commonly used items. His father also had a second-level magic weapon in the past, but unfortunately he was killed by his enemies and had long been lost, and was not inherited by Zhang Zhixuan.

Zhang Zhixuan picked out a dozen low-grade spiritual stones of earth attribute, and then reluctantly added a few spiritual stones of gold and fire attributes and handed them to his seventh uncle Zhang Mengyuan.

Zhang Zhixuan did not have earth spiritual roots, so it would be twice as difficult to refine earth attribute spiritual stones, while spiritual stones of gold and fire attributes were very suitable for Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation.

"As an elder in the family, it is my duty to give you these magic tools.

But I also have to consider your twenty-ninth brother. His spiritual root aptitude is probably not as good as that of my seventh uncle.

Once the seventh uncle grows old, he must leave something for him. I hope my nephew will understand a little and don't blame the seventh uncle for being stingy." Zhang Mengyuan hesitated for a moment, then happily accepted the spiritual stones and said.

The cold is still not healed, and the head is dizzy. Today's update
