The Path of Immortals

Chapter 5 Rune

Although Zhao Di practiced hard, he finally reached the fourth level of the gas refining period at the age of 14. It's only one year away from the age of 15, and it's impossible to practice to the fifth level.

Cultivaning immortals is originally to act against the sky. The more it goes up, the more difficult it is, and the difficulty is doubled. At his current speed of practice, even if he can take a grain of gas dispersion every month, it will take at least seven or eight years to reach the fifth level.

Since it is impossible to continue to practice at Jane's house, he simply suspended his practice and made some preparations for the "exercise" a year later.

The Jian family has a place similar to a library, called the library, in which there are many important anecdotes of the immortal world collected or written by the past generations of the Jian family. Since you want to go out, you naturally need to know more about the outside environment.

This library was managed by a fat middle-aged man with a shrinking appearance. Zhao Di saved two bribes for him, so he promised Zhao Di to read books here for half a month, but Zhao Di was not allowed to borrow them.

Since practicing "The Wave", Zhao Di obviously felt that his hearing, vision and various senses have become extremely keen, and even his brain is getting better and better. And with the continuous improvement of cultivation, the improvement of this sense is more and more obvious. After entering the fourth floor of the gas refining period, if he devotes all his efforts, he can hear the sound of a cricket crawling on the mud more than 20 meters outside the house, or see a hair attached to the grass more than ten meters away. As for the brain, he dares not say that he will never forget it now, but it doesn't make much difference.

Rumor has it that as long as you reach more than six levels of cultivation in the gas refining period, most monks can never forget it.

Therefore, although there are more than 1,000 books in the library, Zhao Di also looks very fast. He reads a general idea of each book first. If it is useful information, he will read it carefully. If it is useless or not interested, put it back in its original place. Even so, looking down the library in half a month also gave Zhao Di a headache, and he used his brain a little too much.

However, the harvest of the past half month is also very amazing. Zhao Di finally has a general understanding of the situation of the outside world, especially the Jinyan Kingdom, and has a general direction for the future experience of going out.

He doesn't dare to hope that as soon as he walks out of the Nanhua Mountain Canyon, he will have a lot of good things waiting for him to pick up. If he wants to continue to practice in the fairyland, he must have the ability to continuously obtain some elixirs to improve his cultivation. Otherwise, with his qualifications, he is afraid that he will not be able to reach more than ten levels of the refining period when he is 100 years old, and his life expectancy is only about the same as that of ordinary mortals. At that Continue to pursue the road of immortality.

According to Zhao Di's understanding in the classics, if you want to continue to practice, there are only two choices:

The first is to join a school of immortal cultivation.

The Golden Flame Kingdom has no less than a thousand immortal cultivation families and sects, large and small, but the most powerful of them is recognized as three sects, four sects and seven sects. These seven immortal cultivation giants have almost monopolized all the immortal cultivation resources of the Golden Flame Kingdom, from spiritual herbs and elixirs to all kinds of cherished minerals. The rest of the small and medium-sized forces can only rely on these seven giants to survive. Some forces are branches of a certain faction of the seven sects, and some give some offerings to a large faction every year, which is recognized and protected by this faction. Even the immortal cultivation family is inextricably linked to these seven schools. Some immortal cultivation families belong to a certain sect and are mainly responsible for sending excellent cultivation talents to the door. Most of the ancestors of the immortal cultivation families also belong to the high-level monks of these seven sects. After great contributions to the sect, they are allowed to establish their own families. This immortal cultivation family often maintains a good cooperative relationship with a certain sect. If the sect is in danger, considering the cold lips and teeth, these immortal cultivation families will also stand up and work for the sect.

If you can join a school of immortal cultivation, you will receive certain responsibilities. As long as you complete the tasks stipulated in your responsibilities, you can enjoy certain welfare benefits, such as elixir and so on. Everyone knows the truth of enjoying the cool under the big tree. Therefore, every time these seven schools recruit disciples, the young monks of the Golden Flame Kingdom are flocking to it.

The number of disciples of the seven major schools is becoming more and more popular, and the entry requirements will not be too low. With the cultivation of the fourth layer of Zhao Di's current refining period and the pseudo-spirit root attribute of the five spiritual roots, there is no way that any school of immortal cultivation is willing to accept him as a disciple. I'm afraid that even the small and medium-sized sects are unwilling.

Even if Zhao Di has gone with great luck and joined a small sect, you should know that the resources of immortal cultivation mastered by the small sect are very limited, and he can only use these few resources on some well-qualified elite disciples. How can he still take care of people like Zhao Di? I'm afraid that there will be a lot of chores to bear at that time, and I don't even have time to practice meditation.

This road is impedible to Zhao Di now, and there is another road that Zhao Di is barely possible. That is to master a skill and be able to mix a bowl of rice in the immortal world.

When it comes to a skill, I have to mention the four popular professions in the immortal world. In addition to the number one alchemist, there are also refiners, array mages and runes.

A refiner is a master of special magic weapons that can only be used by immortals. Like alchemists, he needs the full support of the sect to be cultivated. It is impossible to become a refiner by accumulating the necessary experience without refining dozens of magic weapons with his own hands. And the materials of the refinery are also some cherished spirits. How can ordinary monks have the opportunity to contact and refine so many magic weapons?

As for the array mage, in addition to having a certain level of attainments in the refinery, he must also know a lot of obscurity. There are fewer such people. Often a medium-sized sect also has such a array mage, and a smaller sect can't have a array mage at all.

The last talisman in the ranking is the one who makes the talisman. Fu is a good thing that monks often use. To put it bluntly, making a rune is a rune maker who seals a certain spell and its spiritual power on the rune paper with a special charm to make a rune with the power of this spell. When you need to use this rune, as long as you read a few short spells and sacrifice a little spiritual power on the rune paper, you can immediately stimulate the spell sealed in the rune, which is much more convenient and faster than using spells. And more importantly, once the rune is refined, it can be sold or given to other monks, which can also be easily used by other monks.

Take the fireball charm as an example. As the name implies, it is a rune that seals the low-level spell of "Fireball". The fourth elder of the Jian family once rewarded a fireball charm to a direct descendants of his family, who was also a little girl in the same group as Zhao Di. This little girl is the attribute of the three spiritual roots of gold, wood and water. Without the fire spirit root, she could not perform the "fireball technique" at all. But that time she took out a piece of yellow paper, which was about ten centimeters long and five or six centimeters wide. It was painted with the shape of a flame and red strange runes like earthworms. Then she shook the object in front of Zhao Di and other people, and instantly turned into a fireball. At that time, Zhao Diji, who saw People were shocked.

The little girl was stunned when she saw several people. Obviously, her purpose was achieved, and she clapped her hands proudly and left. Zhao Di asked for a long time before he found out that the strange rune was the legendary rune.

The use of runes is not only the advantage of convenience and speed, but also has various incredible uses, making it one of the most used things by monks like elixir.

If there are shortcomings, there are also two shortcomings.

First, runes are a kind of consumables, such as offensive runes such as fireball runes, which are disposable. After using runes, they turn into flying ash. If it is some auxiliary or defensive runes, they can be used more often, but when the spiritual power sealed in the runes is consumed, the runes will still spontaneously ignite into flying ash and disappear. Because of this, for runes of the same level, defensive runes are a little more expensive than aggressive ones.

Since less consumables are used at a time, general immortals will not use runes easily until the critical moment.

Second, the success rate of making runes is too low. Generally speaking, even the lowest-level "fireball charms" and " King Kong charms" and other primary runes in the refining period often have to fail dozens or even hundreds of times in a row when novices can successfully make one. Even if they are skilled with thousands of production experience, their success rate is often only about 30%. If it is a more advanced rune, not only the rune paper, sand, rune pen, etc. are more demanding, but the success rate will be greatly reduced.
