Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 21 Studying Spells (Please read on, and give me your free votes!)
The moment the bag was opened, the outer disciple couldn't wait to cast a spell.

With the help of magic, the opening of the bag suddenly widened, and a suction force was released from the pocket.

The row of barbed horse carcasses on the ground were immediately pulled up by the suction force and sucked into the bag.

Seeing this, the outer disciple retied the bag.

The bag returned to its original size of a palm and was hung on his waist again.

"A treasure trove!"

Ma Xingyuan almost drooled when he saw it.

This thing is much more advanced than a "storage bag".

The storage bag simply couldn't hold so many barbed horse corpses.

A typical storage bag is lucky to have one cubic meter.

Even the medium-grade storage bag only has a volume of three cubic meters.

Ten cubic meters of high-quality storage bags.

Only the highest-grade storage bags have a capacity of thirty cubic meters.

There are many types of storage magic items, but the storage bag is the lowest level.

These storage bags are generally circulated among menial disciples and outer disciples.

The "Treasure Pouch" is different; it is standard equipment for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and above.

"This is the 'treasure bag'?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing couldn't help but show a look of envy.

This was the first time he had ever seen the real thing.

I'm so envious!

Li Yunjing knew that this item was definitely not something that an outer disciple could possess.

Outer disciples couldn't possibly afford such a treasure; it must have been given to them by the sect to facilitate the transport of supplies.

"Alright! We're leaving. You two take good care of the horses. Also, keep an eye on them; a few mares are about to give birth, and the foals need special care. Make sure they don't die."

Before leaving, Hou Boyan gave Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan some final instructions.

"Yes! Don't worry, Steward Hou! We two will definitely do our best."

Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan dared not delay and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Oh, right! In three days, an inner disciple from a sect will be giving a lecture at my 'Qiongze Peak'. You two can come and listen to the inner disciple's lecture on your day off!"

Seemingly satisfied with Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan's attitude, Hou Boyan said a few more words, which was unusual for him.

"Thank you for your guidance, Manager Hou!"

Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan were somewhat flattered, never expecting this burly and fierce man to have this side to him.
After Hou Boyan and the other outer disciples left, Li Yunjing finished keeping the accounts and, having nothing else to do, had a few drinks with Ma Xingyuan.

In this place, the two of them only needed to take care of the barbarian horses, and no one came to manage them.

After taking good care of these horses, I still have a lot of freedom in my spare time.

Ma Xingyuan seems to have some spiritual stones. He went to other parts of Qiongze Peak and somehow managed to trade them for a gourd of fine wine.

Li Yunjing then benefited from the situation and drank a few cups with him.

As for food, their territory is certainly not without some.

In the courtyard where I lived, there was a half-acre garden that my former senior brother had cultivated, so there was no shortage of food.

"Sigh! I don't know what to do since it's almost the end of the month. Should we hand in our contribution points or not?"

After a few drinks, Ma Xingyuan's face turned red, and he became somewhat irritable.

"What's the rush? We've only been here for three days. There's plenty of time. We can make a decision when the time comes."

Li Yunjing sneered.

His cultivation had slowed down considerably over the past three days. The environment here was worlds apart from his residence in the "Miscellaneous Service Hall".

The difference in spiritual energy concentration is at least five times.

It can be said that Qiongze Peak is one of the most barren peaks in the Shenxiao Mountain Range.

During these three days, in addition to his regular Qi cultivation, Li Yunjing also began to study magic.

Those at the Qi Refining stage can only master minor spells.

Li Yunjing possesses the Five Elements Spiritual Root, indicating excellent aptitude.

He had learned the five most basic Five Elements techniques: "Flying Flame Technique," "Azure Wood Technique," "Clear Spirit Technique," "Falling Rock Technique," and "Frosty Star Sword Technique."

These five minor spells were all gifts from the sect.

To learn more advanced spells, you need to spend contribution points to exchange for them.

Within the sect, everything requires contribution points. With enough contribution points, not to mention the Foundation Establishment Realm, even the Golden Core Realm is not just a pipe dream.

In just three days, Li Yunjing learned all five spells, reaching the initial stage of understanding them.

It's absolutely astonishing that Li Yunjing mastered magic so quickly.

Ordinary disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" would need ten days to half a month to learn each minor spell from scratch.

Like Ma Xingyuan, he was a rogue cultivator before he entered the sect, but he was just a third-rate rogue cultivator.

He's not much better than Li Yunjing.

These days, Ma Xingyuan has also been studying diligently, learning the contents of the "Divine Firmament Jade Book".

Now, he has only just learned the "Flying Flame Technique," which allows him to unleash a fireball the size of a human head to attack enemies.

In terms of comprehension, he was far inferior to Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing made such progress in just three days, so he wasn't worried about being harassed by Yang Chun at the end of the month.

In his view, it was not impossible to turn the charade into reality, join the "Ten Thousand Laws Association," and seize power among the miscellaneous disciples.

Yang Chun, being a menial disciple, only had the cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining.

If it weren't for his seniority and the many helpers he had, he really wouldn't have been taken seriously by Li Yunjing.

Given the right opportunity, it's not impossible to take down such a nobody.

From the very beginning, Li Yunjing never intended to be someone's lackey or pay protection money!

"Sigh! I have no other choice anyway, I'll do as you say!"

Ma Xingyuan gulped down a mouthful of wine and sighed.

In the past few days, since being assigned to work with Li Yunjing, Li Yunjing has handled everything perfectly, which makes Ma Xingyuan admire Li Yunjing very much.

Li Yunjing was the main person in charge of the daily work.

At this point, the future was at stake, and Ma Xingyuan had no choice but to follow Li Yunjing's advice.

"Don't worry! Would I let you suffer a loss?"

Li Yunjing chuckled, then lowered his voice and said, "What is Yang Chun anyway? Isn't he just at the third level of Qi Refining? He's only at the same cultivation level as you!"

"That's true! But I'm just a rogue cultivator and don't have any powerful spells. Yang Chun started his training early, so he must have mastered some powerful techniques. Plus, they outnumber me, so I really can't afford to mess with that bastard."

Ma Xingyuan shook his head slightly and said with resentment.

That day, both of them drank quite a bit.

Li Yunjing lay on the bed, his gaze icy, as he began to ponder a solution...

Over the next three days, Li Yunjing redistributed his time.

Besides the usual feeding of the barges and cleaning of the stables, he unfailingly integrated and practiced his martial arts skills, which he had learned, with the cultivation level of Qi Refining Realm.
