Dark Immortal Cultivation

We're part of an organization now!

Back home, Zhang Qing had mixed feelings.

Joining Changfeng will have both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that by being associated with a gang, outsiders won't dare to provoke you easily, which will undoubtedly reduce some trouble.

Most importantly, he now possesses a crucial means of acquiring valuable items!

As for the drawbacks, the main one is the loss of a certain degree of freedom.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you enjoy the benefits brought by the gang, you should naturally serve the gang.

However, for him, making this choice at present is more beneficial than harmful.

If the disadvantages outweigh the advantages in the future.

Then we can just run away again!

Having made up his mind, Zhang Qing took out the fragment of the Ruins that Ye Fengchun had given him from his storage bag.

[A powerful substance has been discovered. Should it be absorbed?]

The prompt appeared in the field of view again.

This time, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately chose to absorb it.

[Powerful +0.6]

Cool!!!

Zhang Qing was overjoyed, feeling as if he had drunk an ice-cold cola on a sweltering summer day, feeling comfortable from head to toe.

He had previously guessed that this fragment of the ruins might bring him a lot of power points.

Now the speculation has become a reality.

Zhang Qingzhen wanted to run to his neighbor's house across the street immediately, tears welling in his eyes, and tightly grasp Ye Fengchun's hand: "Brother, once a brother, always a brother. Please accept my bow!"

But he was worried about affecting his elder brother and sister-in-law's relationship, so he suppressed his impulse.

I'll repay that debt later!

Zhang Qing rubbed his hands together and opened the data panel.

Add some points!

[Spellcast: 1.7]

[Spellcast: 1.8]

As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade. What Zhang Qing needs to improve most right now is his combat ability. Therefore, without hesitation, he poured the power points he had just acquired into the [Spellcasting] attribute.

Having tasted the benefits of high [Spellcasting] attributes, Zhang Qing was now unable to resist.

To his utter surprise, after the [Spellcasting] attribute was raised to 1.8, he could no longer allocate any more points to it.

In Zhang Qing's vision, the attributes of [Physical Strength], [Soul], and [Martial Arts] emitted a faint glow, but the [Spellcasting] attribute was grayed out!

How could this happen?

Zhang Qing felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water, and his whole body went numb.

He was prepared to pour all his power points into the [Spellcasting] attribute.

For Zhang Qing, who only has the second level of Qi Refining, specialization is worse than balance. He should strengthen his spellcasting to the extreme in order to achieve a battle strategy of taking an unconventional approach to defeat his enemies.

As a result, this strategy failed as soon as it got off the ground.

Zhang Qing forced himself to calm down.

He pondered to himself whether there was some kind of balance or limiting rule among the four attributes.

We cannot simply improve one aspect.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Qing tried allocating points to the [Divine Soul] attribute.

[Soul: 1.9]

At the very moment the [Soul] attribute was boosted, the [Spellcasting] attribute instantly glowed again.

The display indicates that more points can be added.

That's it!

Zhang Qing finally understood.

[Spellcasting] is linked to [Soul], and the former's attributes cannot exceed those of the latter.

He immediately raised his [Spellcasting] skill to 1.9.

It turned gray again, just as expected.

Having gained experience, Zhang Qing fully understood how to operate.

[Soul: 2.0]

But then another unexpected thing happened.

[Spellcasting] lit up, [Soul] turned gray!

But this time Zhang Qing remained completely calm.

If I'm not mistaken, the [Soul] and [Physical Body] are related, and the former cannot exceed twice the latter!

interesting!

Zhang Qing realized that his recent skill point allocation had uncovered another secret of the data panel.

However, he did not allocate the final 0.1 unit of power to [Physical Strength].

Instead, it continued to grant the [Spellcasting] ability.

After allocating the power points this time, the changes to the attribute panel are quite significant.

Physical Strength: 1.0

[Soul: 2.0]

Martial Arts Skill: 0.3

[Spellcast: 2.0]

[Powerful: 0.0]

Everything can be enhanced.

Although the results were not entirely as expected, Zhang Qing was already very satisfied.

He closed the data panel, sat down impatiently, and began to practice the "Mysterious Origin Technique".

The "Mysterious Origin Technique" is Zhang Qing's main cultivation method for refining Qi. The progress of his cultivation in this technique determines his level of cultivation.

Therefore, he sets aside a fixed amount of time every day to dedicate to the cultivation of the "Mysterious Origin Technique".

Qi circulates throughout the body, and the practice circulates throughout the body.

After completing a full cycle of Qi circulation, Zhang Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath of stale air.

A slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

The [Spellcasting] attribute in version 2.0 shortened the time it took Zhang Qing to complete the Great Cycle of Qi by about 20%.

Not only has efficiency improved, but the effects of cultivation have also become stronger.

Even if the increase is limited by one's own blood and energy and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is still a very significant improvement.

Zhang Qing deduced this from the above.

Even if [Spellcasting] points are no longer added.

As long as he maintains his current pace of cultivation, he should be able to reach the third level of Qi Refining in at most five months!

He raised his right palm, palm facing upward, and gathered his magical power.

The next moment, one ball of blazing fire after another condensed above Zhang Qing's palm, spinning rapidly.

The bright firelight shone on his young face.

Zhang Qing remained unmoved and continued to circulate his true energy, forcibly increasing the number of blazing flames to twelve.

The rings of fire formed by these blazing flames were much larger than the palm of his hand!

call!

Zhang Qing waved his hand, and twelve clusters of blazing fire, each the size of a pigeon egg, shot out in a line toward a stone pillar a few steps away.

boom! boom! boom!

The cracking sounds continued incessantly, and countless sparks flew in all directions.

The surface of the stone pillar, as thick as a water bucket, immediately developed large areas of charred marks and dense cracks like a spider web.

Zhang Qing bought this stone pillar specifically to test his magic.

It cost him a full five large talisman coins.

The stone pillar is very heavy and made of extremely hard and sturdy material, impervious to cutting and chopping.

Despite being bombarded by a barrage of blazing fire, it still sustained some damage.

Thanks to the enhancement of the [Spellcasting] attribute, the power of "Blazing Fire" has been further amplified.

Not only was the power greater, but Zhang Qing's spellcasting speed was also faster.

This is especially important in life-or-death battles!

Zhang Qing couldn't help but clench his fist.

awesome!

If one method is strong, all methods will be applicable.

The strength of the [Spellcasting] attribute lies in the fact that the buffs it brings are immediate.

Zhang Qing continued practicing.

The night was long, but he felt no sleepiness whatsoever, devoting all his time to cultivating and practicing his martial arts.

Fortunately, the stone house is very soundproof, otherwise the neighbors would have complained.

The once pristine stone pillar, battered repeatedly by the blazing fire, had its surface constantly cracking and peeling away, becoming a pitiful sight.

But the "sacrifice" of this stone pillar was worthwhile.

Zhang Qing's mastery of the "Blazing Fire Technique" improved little by little through such practice.

The mastery of this spell is constantly being explored in greater depth.

Level 1 Wild Fist is utterly useless, but Level 10 Wild Fist is invincible!

It is difficult to break through the cultivation level in a short period of time.

But in terms of magic.

Zhang Qing will not stop until he has mastered the "Blazing Fire Technique" to a level of unparalleled skill and innovation.

An ordinary dagger, as long as it is sharpened enough.

It can kill the enemy instantly!
