Chapter 270: Chapter 133: Why Did You Let Me Go So Easily?

"Seventy-eight rune structures, with eighteen overlapping structures in total, meaning I need to master sixty rune structures to reach entry level cultivation."

Zhou Changwang then began to carefully observe and explore the cultivation methods of this magic spell.

Fortunately, the difficulty isn’t too high.

Of course, it is not easy either. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The good thing about this magic is that it isn’t an attack type spell, so there’s no need to specifically choose an environment for cultivation.

Thus, after spending half an hour familiarizing himself with the corresponding Dharma Rune Structure, he began cultivating.

Before cultivating, he first used the Concealing Breath Technique and Sound Insulation Technique to ensure that the fluctuations of magic within the room wouldn’t leak out. Then, he calmed his heart spirit, controlled his Spiritual Sense, and began condensing the rune structures one by one.

One, two, three...

After the fifth rune structure, the casting failed.

Then, he continued to try again.

Failure, failure, failure...

Attempt after attempt despite failures.

An hour, two hours, three hours...

After the fourth hour, the moment he completed the final rune structure.

Buzz~!

The Spiritual Power inside him surged rapidly, and as his mind focused.

Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation Skill +1

In an instant, right in front of him appeared a light and shadow, a figure identical to his own, almost indistinguishable.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

After three breaths.

The light and shadow dissipated.

The magic disappeared.

Zhou Changwang blinked, as if nothing happened, yet feeling as though something had changed.

Then, he couldn’t help but cast it again.

After five full times, he finally had a certain understanding of the function of this magic.

"This magic was a bit different from what I had imagined before.

The Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation Skill does indeed only produce an image.

But this image can move and be controlled by my heart spirit, performing various actions.

Moreover, the light and shadow also carry my aura, although much weaker in intensity, it’s still hard to detect suddenly.

Unfortunately, the light and shadow are only an image and cannot actually use magic or magical artifacts for attacks.

It only has a deceiving function without any offensive capability.

Nevertheless, it’s still quite good.

After all, it’s just the entry level, maybe after mastery, small success, or great success, it will have other transformations."

Zhou Changwang sighed, feeling quite satisfied in his heart.

The only regret he felt was that the duration was too short.

Only three breaths, dispersing after three breaths.

However, in battle, the purpose of using this magic is often to confuse and facilitate an escape, so the duration doesn’t matter much.

On the contrary, the longer casting time is somewhat impactful.

Thirteen breaths!

It’s something that can’t be helped.

The long casting prelude is always a difficulty all cultivators encounter.

Only through continuous cultivation, improving the spell’s proficiency, can one greatly shorten the casting time.

Of course, there’s also another method.

That is the strength of Spiritual Power.

As long as one’s Spiritual Power is strong enough, they can naturally cast the magic easily and smoothly.

For instance, a Foundation Establishment Realm True Cultivator powerhouse whose Spiritual Sense transforms into Divine Sense would find cultivating Mid-Tier First Grade, or even High-Tier techniques, much easier, achieving entry level and even mastery in a very short time.

In fact, even Zhou Changwang now, with his spiritual power strength, could quickly cultivate a Low-Tier First Grade spell to mastery level in a short time.

This is the ’dimensional reduction understanding’ of techniques when one’s Spiritual Power is strong.

The next day.

Zhou Changwang finally met the Pavilion Master of Shuiyun Pavilion, Tang Yu Yan.

She is Shen Xinyue’s senior sister, also at the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation stage but has accumulated quite deeply, having already reached the peak of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer. As long as she gets a Foundation Establishment Pill, she can immediately go into seclusion to break through and advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Unfortunately, Foundation Establishment Pills are hard to come by.

Even as a formal disciple of Shuiyun Immortal Sect, one has to queue for a Foundation Establishment Pill application.

Moreover, one has to earn enough Spirit Stones to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill, or enough Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.

"Your situation has already been explained to me by the junior sister.

Since she has agreed to your terms, I naturally won’t go back on them.

In our Shuiyun Pavilion, there are a total of five Second-Grade or above Spirit Fields and Medicinal Fields in the marketplace, all located on the spiritual vein branches of Divine Wind Valley.

Three of them have already been allocated to Spirit Plant Masters who cooperated with us previously, leaving two available. Though they are currently subleased to other Spirit Plant Masters, they can be taken back at any time.

Therefore, you can choose one to plant your spirit plants and spiritual medicines.

Moreover, since the Spirit Field itself is on the branch of a Second-Grade Spirit Vein, the surrounding spiritual qi concentration is not low. In the early days, some cultivators even opened houses and cave mansions for living nearby.

If Fellow Daoist Zhou doesn’t mind, you can actually live at the edge of the Spirit Field, which won’t affect your cultivation."

Tang Yu Yan looked quite young, with a charming appearance, bright eyes, and an excellent exterior. At this moment, as she looked at Zhou Changwang, her tone was polite and calm.

Of course, Zhou Changwang wouldn’t really believe she was truly young.

In the Cultivation Realm, there are Spirit Pills like Beauty Pills and Youthful Appearance Pills.

Many cultivators who appear to be in their twenties or thirties are actually in their forties or fifties, even sixties.

Zhou Changwang knew Shen Xinyue also looked young and beautiful, but in fact, she was in her forties. Since she referred to Tang Yu Yan as senior sister, it was evident that her age was greater, likely in her forties or fifties as well.
