Cultivating Immortality: Starting from Ferrying Passengers

Chapter 15: Trying the Magic
After swallowing a drop of jade dew, I now understand the happiness of rich people.

Fang Jingxuan opened his eyes contentedly from meditation, his face filled with joy as he felt the magic power in his body gradually growing stronger. This realization was truly wonderful.

Unlike the previous period when the gains were minimal, with the nourishment of the moonlight and jade dew, this night of meditation and practice is equivalent to five or six days before.

[Real name: Fang Jingxuan]

[Age: twenty-three]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 2 (283/300)]

Looking at his own cultivation progress on the attribute panel, compared to a few days ago, he was making progress every day. He had never experienced such a speed of cultivation before.

It’s a pity that this kind of cultivation, which changes day by day and makes continuous progress, cannot be maintained for a long time.

Fang Jingxuan took out the jade bottle containing the Moonlight Jade Dew, took a look, and estimated that there were still five drops in it.

Only half of the month has passed, and I have already used up six of the original eleven drops of Moon Dew.

The three drops of jade dew that were originally intended to be used to cultivate the rift-mouthed catfish have now been appropriated by Fang Jingxuan.

Since the market was blocked and he couldn't get out, he might as well use it himself.

This is how Fang Jingxuan comforted himself, and thus, with the help of six drops of jade dew, Fang Jingxuan's cultivation progress also improved rapidly.

Fang Jingxuan was not going to use the remaining five drops, as he was going to leave them for Tuo Yuan to take.

From the current perspective, feeding the Jade Dew to Tu Yuan would be more effective than if he took it himself. Even if he broke through to the third level of Qi Refining, he probably would not be Tu Yuan's opponent.

Well, it’s normal for a casual cultivator who specializes in ferrying people around to not be able to defeat his own companion beast.

Now Fang Jingxuan has a clear understanding of his own position, that is, when encountering danger, it is better to run away first, and hide if possible. Anyway, he will not fight with others.

And with the warning of [Sudden Inspiration], it would be extremely difficult to ambush me.

Fighting and killing is so dangerous, isn’t it better to make money steadily?
We are all trying to make a living, why bother?
With this thought in mind, Fang Jingxuan left the quiet room and began a pleasant day.

Bring firewood, set up a big pot, pour in spiritual rice, bone meal, and trace mineral powder, and stir evenly.

This is the secret rice ball Fang Jingxuan made for Tuoyuan. According to Tuoyuan's appetite, three fist-sized spiritual rice balls a day can barely meet his need for spiritual food.

Soon, a large pot of spiritual rice was cooked. Fang Jingxuan took out the jade bottle from his storage bag and poured the five drops of moon jade dew into it.

"Eat, eat, grow as big as you can. Then you can stick your head in front of your enemies and see who dares to attack me!"

Fang Jingxuan rolled three rice balls and came to Tuoyuan. Seeing Tuoyuan almost drooling, he resisted the urge to taste them, reached out and picked them up, and fed them to it.

Tuoyuan ate very quickly, but with gentle movements. He stretched his head to nibble on Fang Jingxuan's palm, afraid of biting him.

"Xiao Yuan, you're getting bigger and bigger. I think you should be able to enter the fourth level of Qi Refining, right?"

Hearing Fang Jingxuan's question, Tuo Yuan blinked, a little confused.

It is only eight years old, while a Xishui Spirit Turtle at the fourth level of Qi Refining is generally at least twenty years old.

The third to fourth level of Qi Refining is a hurdle that many Xishui Spirit Turtles cannot reach in their lifetime, and it is still quite a distance away.

This knowledge is a faint inheritance in its blood. If its blood is richer, it might be able to awaken one or two innate magical powers.

"Hey, I'm impatient. You're only eight years old. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"

Seeing that Tuoyuan was becoming depressed, Fang Jingxuan immediately tried to comfort him.

Although Tuoyuan was three meters tall, more than two meters long, and weighed several thousand pounds, it was still a child after all. After receiving Fang Jingxuan's comfort, Tuoyuan immediately became happy and clamored to eat the monster meat.

Fang Jingxuan had no choice but to take out a few palm-sized pieces of dried meat from his storage bag and threw them to Tuoyuan, only then did he get rid of its entanglement.

Fang Jingxuan moved a chair into the courtyard and started basking in the sun.

It's so boring. The market is closed and we are not allowed to go out. There is nothing else to do except practicing martial arts.

And spiritual practice should also be done slowly and gradually. Don't be greedy for quick results or rush in, otherwise the probability of going astray is quite high.

Fang Jingxuan meditates every night, which is considered very diligent. There are also many cultivators who meditate once every three days and practice once every five days.

After a while, Fang Jingxuan, who was basking in the sun, began to think about finding something to pass the time.

How about practicing some magic?

Although "The Three-Turn Wheel Meridian Sutra" is a low-grade practice, it also records several small spells, mainly used to fight against enemies.

Fang Jingxuan's predecessor was not interested in these spells and did not practice them, while Fang Jingxuan himself was busy soliciting customers and goods and had no time to practice.

Now, I have plenty of time, so it doesn’t hurt to practice.

After reading this, Fang Jingxuan became interested. He recalled the three spells recorded in the early part of "Three-turning Wheel Meridian Sutra".

They are "Golden Blade Technique", "Water Knife Technique" and "Rejuvenation Technique" respectively.

Well, it's a very ordinary five-element technique, nothing surprising at all. Among them, "Golden Blade Technique" and "Water Knife Technique" are both used for attack.

As for the power, it may take five times of "Golden Blade Technique" or "Water Knife Technique" to break the opponent's monk's protective shield.

And if the other party uses a protective talisman, it will be even more difficult.

After studying for a while, Fang Jingxuan couldn't help but sigh. No wonder his predecessor didn't want to practice. The main reason was that the power was too weak.

The main way low-level cultivators in Baishan fight is to throw talismans at each other, and the first thing they compare in a fight is their wealth.

Compared to low-level spells that consume one's own magic power, talismans that can be activated with just a trace of magic power are a must-have at home and the first choice for killing people and silencing them.

I can block ten of your "Golden Blade Techniques" with a Golden Bell Talisman on my body.

So tell me, what's the point of all the magic you've been practicing so hard? Is it just to save up spirit stones for talismans?

Low-level cultivators do not have abundant mana. Instead of using precious mana on spells, it is better to buy more talismans for self-defense.

You can even buy a combat weapon and use the spells that come with the weapon to fight the enemy. This is the right way.

Fang Jingxuan thought about it and felt that practicing magic was not worth it. With talismans, a tool similar to firearms, who would still practice martial arts?

Of course, this is a characteristic of fighting in the Qi Refining Stage. When it comes to the Foundation Establishment Stage, because the cultivator's magic power is strong, the power of the spell is greatly enhanced, and the effect of the talisman begins to decrease. This is another story.

But since he was free anyway, Fang Jingxuan decided to practice a bit, as it is always good to have more skills.

So Fang Jingxuan began to prepare the materials needed to practice the techniques. The "Golden Blade Technique" required a special metal powder, while the "Water Knife Technique" required the preparation of a kind of heavy water.

After a while, Fang Jingxuan scratched his head. He had thought it was a simple matter, but it stumped him.

He doesn't know how to mix these two ingredients!
I really overestimated myself. Forget it. It’s getting late today. I’ll eat and meditate. I’ll do it tomorrow.

With this thought in mind, Fang Jingxuan ate a delicious meal, then entered the quiet room and began to practice.
