Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 48 Spell
Li Fan walked into the library, where many Lishan disciples were. There were many rows of bookshelves with various books on them.

This is one of the treasured places of Lishan. The thousand-year heritage of Lishan can also be reflected in this library, which collects various methods of cultivation, from low-level to high-level.

Martial arts, magic, swordsmanship, etc. can all be found in the library.

It is said that the top floor of the library even contains the most advanced cultivation methods of Dali, but it is not accessible to ordinary disciples.

This was Li Fan's first time coming to the library. Although he was nominally a disciple of Li Shan, in reality Li Shan did not really acknowledge his existence and was even wary of him.

The library has thirteen floors in total, and each floor is very large.

Li Fan walked into the library, not knowing what to choose for a moment. From what his senior sister said, he came to the library just to prepare for the upcoming Lishan Sword Test.

Moreover, he was not allowed to practice swordsmanship.

In this case, there are only magic spells and martial arts techniques.

In Lin'an County, Yu Qing taught the Dragon Demon Bone Skill and forged a martial spirit. The combination of the two is very powerful.

The senior sister said that she wanted him to take part in the Lishan Sword Test. There were many talented people on Lishan, including some top sword prodigies. Although the senior sister said that he was very talented, Li Fan still had a relatively clear understanding of himself.

He started late, and with his current strength, he would certainly not be able to fight against those top talents on the mountain. His senior sister asked him to come here to improve his combat capability.

In this case, his best option is to practice magic and combine it with martial arts and swordsmanship attacks.

There were disciples from Lishan walking by, and some of the younger disciples didn't even recognize Li Fan.

"Brother Xiaofan."

At this time, a sweet voice was heard. Li Fan looked not far away and saw a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a pure and lovely appearance and seemed a little surprised to see Li Fan.

"Xiaoqi." Li Fan called out.

"Brother Xiaofan, when I went down the mountain a few days ago, I heard from my mother that you had gone out?" the girl asked.

"Yeah." Li Fan nodded: "I also saw your mother when I came back."

"Is it fun down the mountain?" There was a hint of curiosity in the girl's innocent eyes. She had never left the mountain.

"It's not fun. The people down the mountain are very bad. If you go down the mountain next time, you must be careful." Li Fan reminded. This trip down the mountain was quite a shock to him.

"Then just take me with you." The girl looked at Li Fan with some anticipation.

"That requires my senior sister's consent." Li Fan said.

"Hmph..." The girl curled her lips: "I knew Fairy Ye, was it Fairy Ye who brought you here?"

"Yes." Li Fan nodded: "Senior sister told me to choose a method of cultivation in the library, and then participate in the sword test in Lishan."

"You want to participate in the Lishan Sword Test?" The girl was a little surprised. Seeing Li Fan nod, she whispered, "Someone in Lishan said that Lishan might be in danger. This Lishan Sword Test is to select people to inherit the Lishan legacy. Did you know that?"

"I know a little." Li Fan had traveled to Lin'an County and naturally knew the crisis that Lishan was facing now. The imperial court was going to move against Lishan.

"This time, all the peaks sent their disciples to the library to prepare for the Lishan Sword Test. Fairy Ye asked you to participate in the Lishan Sword Test. I think she has high expectations for you. However, the elders in Lishan..."

The girl thought for a moment and said, "Since Fairy Ye has decided, there should be no problem. I will take you to find the method of cultivation you want to choose."

"I want to find some magic to practice." Li Fan said.

"Come with me." The girl led Li Fan towards a direction of the library. There were many disciples from Lishan in the library. Just as the girl said, all the peaks of Lishan sent their disciples to the main peak.

The two came to a place, and the girl said, "They are all here, see if there is anything suitable?"

Li Fan walked forward, took out a book and flipped through it, then put it down after a while and looked through the books beside him. Soon he gave up and said to the girl, "Junior Sister Xiaoqi, these spells are relatively introductory and some are simple."

"Have you ever practiced magic before?" the girl asked.

"No..." Li Fan shook his head.

"Then you chose it." The girl was a little curious: "Why don't I think it's simple? Then let's go to other floors to have a look."

"Okay." Li Fan followed the girl upstairs.

"The third level isn't even possible?" The girl blinked when she saw that Li Fan was still not satisfied. People like her who were practicing in the Spirit Refining Realm were generally only suitable for the first and second levels. For those with high talent, the third level was enough.

People with higher realms can go to higher levels.

But Li Fan was still not satisfied.

"Don't lie to me." The girl took Li Fan and continued upstairs to the fourth floor of the library.

The fourth floor of the library corresponds to the fourth level of foundation-building practice. There are relatively few disciples coming here. When they reach a certain level, most of the disciples who leave the mountain will go down the mountain for trials.

Li Fan was searching in front of the fourth-shelf bookshelf and stopped in front of a book.

"Thousands of Silks." Xiao Qi next to him looked at the book that Li Fan took down and said, "Gold attribute. Brother Xiaofan, are you good at gold attribute?" Although Qigong practitioners can practice spells of various attributes, they themselves still have attribute preferences. The more compatible the attributes are, the easier it is to practice and the stronger the power will be.

However, the Qigong practitioners who possess innate Dharma images have strong attributes.

“Should be good at it.”

Li Fan said that he had a special body and had eaten all kinds of monster meat since he was a child, and had also swallowed a lot of monster pills. Most of these monster pills were absorbed by the "monster" in his body, but there were still some left that were used on him.

Li Fan flipped through the book. This Thousand Silks spell was a spell that condensed magic power into silk, which could trap and injure people. It was somewhat similar to the spell "Heavenly Net" that was used against Yu Qing before, but its power should not be as strong as "Heavenly Net".

Spells like the Heaven's Net and Earth's Net could probably only be used by people who have at least reached the Foundation Establishment stage and have strong magical powers.

Li Fan quickly decided to practice this spell, which would be very effective in improving combat effectiveness.

He continued flipping through the pages and came to the last page. There were wisps of magical power fluctuations on the book. He moved his mind and entered it. Suddenly, a picture appeared in his mind, and at the same time, a lot of information flooded into his mind about the practice method of Thousand Silk Rao.

Thousand Silks, a gold-attributed spell, can condense strands of golden silk. It is soft yet strong, and is suitable for Qigong practitioners within the Foundation Establishment stage. If successfully cultivated, it can condense thousands of silk threads. This spell has high requirements for the practitioner's spiritual awareness and requires extremely precise control.

Li Fan actually sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. The girl next to him was stunned when she saw his movements. He was actually practicing on the spot?

Generally speaking, they would remember the methods of cultivation and then go back to practice.

After all, practicing magic takes some time, and the more difficult the spell, the longer it takes.

"Let him be." The girl looked at Li Fan and said secretly, then she looked around to see if there was anything suitable for her to practice.

About half an hour later, the girl seemed to sense the fluctuation of magic power. She turned her eyes and saw wisps of golden magic power flowing on Li Fan's body. Then, she saw a wisp of golden silk thread extending outward.

Then came the second, the third...more and more silk threads wrapped around Li Fan's body.

The girl blinked, feeling a little disturbed.

Could it be that Brother Xiaofan is a genius in cultivation?
In the village, Li Fan had never shown his ability in cultivation, and this was his first time to come to the library.

Li Fan opened his eyes, looking a little disappointed. He didn't have enough control over Thousand Silks and could only control a dozen golden threads. He once swallowed the spider demon's demon pill, so it should be easier for him to practice this kind of magic, but he was limited by his 'god' not being strong enough.

When he turned his head, he saw the girl next to him looking at him with surprise, her eyes shining.

"What's wrong, Xiaoqi?" Li Fan asked.

"Brother Xiaofan, you are so talented. Maybe you will have a chance to obtain some inheritance from Lishan during this sword test." The girl was looking forward to it.

Brother Xiaofan is kind-hearted. He grew up with her in the village. No matter who has problems at home, Brother Xiaofan will be the first to go and help.

Besides, Brother Xiaofan is also very handsome.

He has suffered so much injustice since he was a child, and the girl still hopes that Li Shan can recognize Li Fan.

However, when she thought of those geniuses behind the mountain, the girl's eyes dimmed a little.

There are so many geniuses in Lishan.

"Let's go look somewhere else." Li Fan stood up and continued to choose the spells to practice.

Since his senior sister asked him to participate in the Lishan Sword Test, he would try his best to improve his combat capability in the next few days so as not to embarrass the old blind man and his senior sister.

He heard that among the same generation, his senior sister and junior brother were both invincible.

As a junior fellow apprentice, he can't be too miserable.

The two came to a place where they practiced physical skills.

The main body skills are thunder attribute and wind attribute. Li Fan flipped through several books and finally locked on a set of wind attribute spells.

"Qingfeng Jue."

Different from some thunder techniques, this set of Qing Feng Jue has no attack capability and is purely a body technique.

Moreover, it says that the best people to practice Qing Feng Jue are Qigong practitioners who are good at wind attributes and also people who practice martial arts. Only in this way can they bring out the Qing Feng Jue to its strongest level.

"Are you also good at wind attributes?" Xiao Qi asked.

"Yeah." Li Fan nodded.

Xiao Qi opened her eyes wide and asked, "So what attributes are you good at?"

"I think it's all right." Li Fan responded.

The girl blinked again.

Is Brother Xiaofan really a genius?
