The Quest for Immortality

Chapter 887 -615 Mastery of All Spells_4

”Your Fireball Technique may be fast, but there are spells faster than the Fireball Technique. At a critical juncture, you could interrupt someone else’s attack

”There are also some spells that can break ‘Water Armor,’ extinguish ‘Fire Shields,’ apply ‘Wood Poison,’ and damage the flesh

”All kinds of spells have their wonders

Mo Hua’s heart chilled as he recalled Old Kui’s teachings from long ago, and he suddenly understood, murmuring, “Taoist Skills are manifold, each with its own brilliance. The wonder of their use lies in the heart?”

The Elder of Daoist Law looked somewhat surprised but couldn’t help nodding and said, “That’s right

”You’ve just entered Foundation Establishment, and you don’t have much experience in magical duels. As your cultivation grows and you encounter more cultivators, you’ll realize that there is significant depth to this knowledge.”

”Powerful spells are certainly good.”

”But that doesn’t mean that the myriad spells in the world are all useless.”

”Within spells are also contained the principles of heaven and earth, the more spells you master, the deeper your understanding of the principles, and the stronger your spells will become.”

”You’ve done well in your Array Formation studies, so you should understand this principle

Mo Hua nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that Mo Hua understood, the Elder of Daoist Law was very pleased, but he also reminded him, “This is just my advice. Naturally, if you can cultivate Superior Techniques, they are better for their great power and straightforwardness

”But I’m suggesting this because you can’t learn them.”

”Besides, if you master these lower-grade spells very well, the Sect assessment won’t score you highly—you’ll most likely receive a ‘Grade C

”I must remind you of this again; don’t blame me later

”Don’t go complaining to Elder Master Xun, saying I’ve led astray the younger generation

Mo Hua smiled and said, “I understand, thank you, Elder Xie.”

The Elder of Daoist Law confirmed this with Mo Hua again, getting his assurance before feeling relieved.

…

After returning, Mo Hua began to ponder about becoming a “Spell Master” with a Mastery of All Spells…

The Sever Gold Sword Control Jue wouldn’t necessarily come into play for the time being.

But the cultivation of spells was an urgent matter.

Especially since he needed to accumulate Merit Points and mingle with Senior Sister Murong and others on many missions, each additional spell meant an extra measure of confidence.

Many skills don’t make a burden.

However, Taixu Gate’s spells also required Merit Points to acquire.

Mo Hua flipped through the Merit Scroll and found, indeed, it listed all kinds of Five Elements Spells—thousands of them in total.

But none of them were cheap.

The cheaper ones cost dozens of Merit Points, while the more expensive ones cost hundreds.

Some Superior Five Elements Spells even required thousands of Merit Points.

Mo Hua felt fortunate.

Luckily, he couldn’t learn them, sparing him the wasted “money

But dozens of points…

Compared to Array Formation, it naturally didn’t seem expensive.

But he wanted to learn so many, not to mention continue learning Array Formation; thus, his already modest stock of Merit Points dwindled even further…

What’s more, you get what you pay for.

Though some spells in there were lower-grade and couldn’t be too demanding, they seemed too plain after looking them over…

And if he was to become a “Spell Master,” he would need to learn an immense number of spells.

It would be a big loss to exchange all of them for Merit Points…

”Is there a way to learn spells without spending Merit Points?”

Mo Hua frowned in thought, but after several days, he still had no clue.

Until one day, when he was tired after studying Array Formation and lay on his bed flipping through Boss Jiang’s diary to alleviate his boredom.

As he flipped through it, Mo Hua’s brows creased; something was off about this diary.

Amid the lines, he faintly sensed a weak Magnetic Stream…

Magnetic Stream…

Secondary Thunder Pattern?

”That’s not right

The Secondary Thunder Pattern on the Jade Slip’s Sealing Pattern was meant for unsealing.

The Secondary Thunder Pattern inside the Jade Slip was used to link Magnetic Patterns, revealing written words.

But where did these Secondary Thunder Patterns on the surface of the words, between the lines of the Jade Slip, come from?

Mo Hua started, then suddenly remembered what Zheng Fang had told him about Sealing Patterns and Secret Patterns, and he was taken aback.

Were these traces of the Secondary Thunder Pattern…

Secret Patterns?!

Boss Jiang, this disreputable character, has he encrypted his diary?
