New and dark light years

Chapter 270 Introduction to Spiritual Scripture

Spirit writing!
Upon hearing this term, Li Lin raised an eyebrow.

I've been in this world for over a year now, and I'm absorbing more and more knowledge here.

The art of spirit writing is widely practiced among the common people, especially ordinary people.

This technique is said to have been created by a Taoist master, but he later abandoned it because he felt that its 'side effects' were too great.

This art then spread among the common people, and after more than a thousand years of development, it has formed several different schools.

In the southern border region, spirit writing and southern barbarian witchcraft have merged, taking a rather strange path.

For example... it may have been mixed with Gu magic.

Li Lin couldn't help but ask, "Since you have spirit writing techniques, why don't you practice them?"

"Is it that we don't want to practice?" An Xin said helplessly, "It's that we can't practice. Just like many southern barbarians who practice our Great Qi's swordsmanship and fist techniques, the internal differences make it difficult for them to understand each other."

Li Lin nodded to show that he understood.

“We obtained this spirit writing technique from a master of witchcraft,” An Xin continued. “It was decades ago. During that time, we had many disciples study it, but the result… was that many of our predecessors went mad from their cultivation.”

Li Lin frowned slightly at this.

Throw me anything that could easily lead to demonic possession.

"It can't be fake, can it?" Li Lin asked.

An Xin waved his hand: "Absolutely impossible! It's just that our Tianyi Sect can't find anyone with talent. That master back then..."

He glanced at Lu Ying beside him before saying, "Back then, that expert almost wiped out our Tianyi Sect. This was found by our sect's seniors from that expert's corpse."

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder only the sect leader and the future sect leader know the origin of this secret manual.

Hearing this, Li Lin finally became interested: "Alright, let's change it then. I need to go get the golden bowl first."

Soon, Li Lin arrived at the entrance of Tianyi Gate again, carrying a cloth bag.

Anxin was still waiting there, but now he had a book in his hand.

Li Lin handed over the golden bowl.

An Xin took it, glanced at it casually, and then handed over the spirit medium.

"Thank you," An Xin said with a smile.

Li Lin waved the book in his hand: "I'm going back to the post station to study this manual first. If you need anything, come find me there."

"it is good."

Both sides separate.

An Xin returned to the sect. At this moment, Lu Ying walked over and said, "Senior Brother, that manual is dangerous. Why did you give it to Senior Brother Li to learn?"

"He should be able to learn it."

"What if I can't learn it and something goes wrong?" Lu Ying's face showed a hint of anger.

"Then send your junior sister to him as a slave and servant as an apology."

"Ugh... I won't do it." Lu Ying stomped her foot, then covered her face and ran away.

An Xin chuckled softly, then excitedly took the golden bowl and headed towards the Elders' Council.

Meanwhile, Li Lin returned to the post station and eagerly began to examine the manual.

[Voodoo Spirit Spell +1]

[Voodoo Combat Support +1]

A series of prompts appeared in the field of vision.

After Li Lin finished reading the book, he realized that he had already entered the basics.

Voodoo and spirit writing are, in essence, Taoist practices.

There are two reasons why Tianyi Sect cannot learn it.

Firstly, this voodoo spirit writing technique requires the use of 'yin energy' or 'spiritual energy' to operate.

In other words, under normal circumstances, only Spirit Hunters, and even then, only those who have reached the eighth rank or above, can learn even a little bit about this.

Secondly... this thing incorporates the witchcraft of the Southern Barbarians, which is another cultivation system. The two are forcibly merged together, and then there will be a 'conflict'.

To put it bluntly, it can be considered something like a 'reverse cultivation technique'. Without exceptional talent, it's truly impossible to master.

As for Li Lin... he is currently cultivating spiritual energy and practicing the Obscure Word Technique, which is even more heaven-defying than the Reverse Cultivation Method. Learning a witchcraft or spirit medium technique would not be difficult for him.

Li Lin closed the book; he had now 'learned' three techniques.

The first one is 'divination'.

It's a very traditional divination to predict the day's fortune, whether it will be good or bad.

Li Lin found two copper coins, infused them with spiritual energy, and then held them in his hands, 'communicating' with heaven and earth.

While sitting quietly, he seemed to feel some guidance from the unseen forces, and then gently threw two copper coins on the ground.

The two copper coins spun around on the ground for a while before falling over.

One positive and one negative!
Unremarkable.

Li Lin shook his head helplessly. This basic spirit writing technique could only predict one's own fortune, and could only be used once a day.

It doesn't seem very useful.

Then he tried the second spell.

Voodoo Infusion.

It means injecting a stream of evil energy into someone's body, causing them to have a lot of bad luck for a long time afterward.

This technique sounds rather evil, so it naturally cannot be used on those around you or innocent people.

Li Lin pondered for a moment and remembered an acquaintance.

Zhang Zonghao, the Thousand-Faced Man of the Zhuxian Society.

This guy is skilled at disguise, and we have a grudge against each other, so using him as a test subject is the most suitable option.

So Li Lin activated his inner energy cultivation technique, separating a portion of the spiritual energy and transforming it into 'evil thoughts'.

Having spent time in the illusion, Li Lin knew very well what 'evil thoughts' were like.

The evil thought, simulated with spiritual energy, appeared on his fingertip, the size of a soybean, or like a dirty drop of water.

Li Lin 'pointed' this bit of malice into the copper coin.

Then he took a piece of white paper and drew the image of Zhang Zonghao from his memory.

Then fold the white paper and wrap the copper coin inside.

Finally, Li Lin took a tinderbox and burned the paper.

The white paper burned, but the smoke that appeared was not blue, but gray, the kind of gray that looked very dirty.

After the paper burns, there won't be a single ash on the ground.

Even the copper coin has disappeared.

Only that wisp of gray smoke, like a long, winding snake, flew towards a certain direction on the horizon.

The plume of gray smoke flew very fast, but it gradually shortened as it flew.

Before long, the gray smoke traversed mountains and rivers, arriving above a small county town in Xiangjun.

But at this point, it was only as long as an arm and could disappear at any moment.

After circling in place a few times, the gray smoke found its target and then plunged down.

Somewhere on the street, a beggar was sunbathing.

But he suddenly felt a slight chill on his body, and subconsciously opened his eyes, only to see a wisp of gray smoke disappear.

The beggar tried to dodge, but it was too late; the gray smoke entered his head directly.

The beggar instinctively cried out, "Ah!"

He then touched his head and said with some surprise, "It doesn't hurt?"

But then the beggar stood up, and his face turned very ugly.

Even though he didn't know what the gray smoke was, he knew he had been tricked.

He immediately started walking into the alley.

He walked very fast, with a brisk pace, not at all like a weak beggar.
