The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 612 Spell Selection

After being away from home for several days, Li Qin found that everything at home was still in good condition, and there were no signs that any outsiders had entered.

After a few months, Li Qin had actually gotten used to not locking the door when he went out.

Even when going to the countryside for several days, it's the same.

Although modern courtyard houses may have some hidden problems, they have never been known to involve any dishonest practices.

Of course, the main reason was that Li Qin didn't keep anything valuable at home.

Even decent things are scarce.

Naturally, this would not attract the covetousness of some people.

"Snapped!"

With a snap of his fingers, Li Qin's house became spotless, without a trace of dust or dirt.

Li Qin then walked into his house with satisfaction.

As usual, he chose to start the fireplace first.

The weather in Beijing started to change in the morning.

It looks like it's going to snow soon, so we need to light the fire in the house beforehand.

Since there was still some time before dinner, Li Qin didn't rush to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Instead, he boiled a kettle of water and made himself a pot of tea.

He then sat in his study, drinking tea and thinking.

"Now that the Occupy Barrier technique has been fully mastered, we can proceed with the planned training of those spells."

Li Qin held a teacup in one hand and drank tea, but an excited look flashed across his face.

According to the previous plan, he will next prepare to begin cultivating the Fire God's path, the Fire Shield for protection, and the Fiery Curse.

All three are extremely powerful fire-based spells.

Moreover, they are all extremely difficult.

However, after building the Mind Tower, Li Qin's learning ability was enhanced again, which will surely be of great benefit when learning spells.

At this moment, Li Qin was pondering which of the three spells he should learn first.

Whether it's the Fire God's Path, the Fire Shield's Protection, or the Fiery Curse, they are all incredibly ornate and powerful spells.

Li Qindu longed for it.

However, he was alone and could not cultivate three spells at the same time, so he could only choose one to cultivate first.

After a brief moment of thought, Li Qin decided to put the Fiery Curse down for last in his training.

This curse is not only powerful, but it is also a dark curse.

Although Li Qin now possesses the Guardian Spell and is protected by the Mind Tower deep within his consciousness, it is almost certain that he will not be affected by dark magic.

However, Li Qin still intended to play it safe.

Another crucial reason is that the Fiendfire Spell is much easier to cast compared to the other two spells.

However, it is the most difficult to control.

Moreover, the fierce fire is the most dangerous; once it cannot be controlled and extinguished in time...

Given the flammable nature of the Fiery Flame, given enough time to spread, it could even destroy a city.

Given the danger of this curse, Li Qin did not intend to begin cultivating it lightly without proper preparation.

In comparison, having the God of Fire clear the way and the Fire Shield provide much greater safety.

Moreover, by first cultivating these two spells, Li Qin's mastery of fire-based spells will greatly improve once he succeeds.

It will be much safer to begin practicing the Fiery Curse then.

So now Li Qin needs to consider whether to cultivate the Fire God's Path Opening Technique or the Fire Shield for Protection first.

"Well, I'll have to learn both spells eventually anyway, so I'll just pick one randomly."

After thinking it over, Li Qin finally decided to select his generals by drawing lots.

As Li Qin pointed back and forth with his finger, he finally came to a conclusion: "The God of Fire will pave the way? Then let's cultivate this spell first."

Li Qin didn't have any particular thoughts about the result.

"I don't need to go to night school tonight, and I don't need to go to the steel mill tomorrow morning, so I should have more than ten hours to practice this spell."

Li Qin then secretly did some calculations in his mind.

After dinner, he can start cultivating, and rest when he gets tired.

Then I'll continue my practice tomorrow morning.

According to Li Qin's own estimation, with his current learning ability, even if he couldn't master the Vulcan's Path Cultivation in more than ten hours...

Its profound level.

However, mastering this spell should not be a problem.

In fact, Li Qin had another idea in his heart.

Although he knew that after the Mind Tower was built, his learning ability was improved to a certain extent, or even greatly.

But he never really had a general idea of how much improvement he could make.

He wanted to personally test his current learning ability by practicing advanced fire magic.

"I hope you won't let me down!"

A hint of anticipation flashed in Li Qin's eyes.

Knowing that the construction of the Mind Pagoda required burning thousands of points of divine power, Li Qin was really eager to see the true value of the Mind Pagoda.

After making a plan, Li Qin sat in the study for a while before going to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

He plans to have dinner early today.

This way, one can begin practicing the spell ahead of time.

Since cooking in the kitchen was just for show, Li Qin simply made something casually and served a large bowl of corn porridge with two flatbreads made from mixed flour.

He returned to the restaurant with a plate of pickles.

Li Qin always prepared these disguised meals in advance and stored them in his storage ring.

Although each species is few in number, there are quite a few varieties.

Foods like steamed buns made from two kinds of flour, flatbreads, corn porridge, pickles, preserved vegetables, and leafy greens...

Li Qin would take them out of his storage ring whenever needed, and then put them all back into the ring when he entered the restaurant.

Then take out the actual food from the ring.

Compared to the food served for show, what Li Qin actually ate was much, much better.

Both in terms of type and quantity.

In addition, there are fresh fruit juices and fruits as desserts.

While eating fruit, Li Qin suddenly thought of something;

"I have stored quite a lot of fruit in the space. Even though I used some of it to make fruit wine, there is still a lot left over."

Perhaps I can sell some of them through the black market.

You have to understand that it's winter now, so there isn't much fruit available.

If Li Qin brings out a large amount of fruit, it will definitely be very easy to sell.

Moreover, the price will be very attractive.

Normally, people might be reluctant to spend money on fruit, but now it's the Lunar New Year, and even if they're very frugal, they're willing to spend some money.

Li Qin may not care about money, but he does care about gold and silver.

The divine pagoda still has dozens of floors that haven't been forged yet.

That would require a massive amount of gold and silver.

"Besides the black market, perhaps we could ask Li Huaide if he needs any fruit."

When Li Qin got something good, he naturally thought of his uncle Li Huaide.

Li Qin reviewed the list of supplies Li Huaide needed; besides regular meat, it only contained things like biscuits and milk powder.

These items are indeed sufficient to cover the distribution of New Year's benefits.

However, it wasn't particularly eye-catching.

If paired with some fruit, it would definitely make Li Huaide shine again.

Although Li Huaide was just promoted to the position of head of logistics this year, it is impossible for him to be promoted again in the short term.

However, it can help Li Huaide accumulate some foundation.

When the time comes, it will be even easier for Li Huaide to be promoted to deputy factory director.
