Chapter 30: Page 30

However, Xizhao’s gaze was fixed on Yuzhuanjin…and the young fox Fufu in her arms. Actually, they wanted to hug the fox and sleep.

"…I-We are afraid of the dark!"

Su Yue found a very lame excuse.

But it was precisely this kind of words that made Yu Zhuanjin unable to refuse, so she had no choice but to nod and agree.

Su Yue and Xi Zhao were immediately surprised and were about to rush over to hug Fu Fu, but the young fox dodged them one after another, leaving only its tail that hit their faces.

After turning off the lights, Yu Zhuanjin lay on the quilt. The two little ones beside her were still making a fuss, which made it impossible for her to sleep. So she opened the system to review the gains she had made in recent days.

[Gold: ]

【Gaoyu: 440】

-

The last time I completed the upgrade task for the skill "One Arrow", I got a lot of rewards. Gold coins and magatama are secondary. The important thing is that I got an SR-level Shikigami experience card.

Unlike permanent Shikigami cards that grant other people's demon spirit abilities and unlock their level caps, experience cards are "summonings."

[1 Moon Chaser (SR) Experience Card: After use, summon a shikigami and moon chaser with a one-hour existence time. The shikigami has the same level as the rank. 】

SR level represents the range from level 20 to level 40.

In other words, Yuzhongjin now has a hidden trump card that is above level 20 and can last for one hour. He can then fight off monsters with peace of mind. If he encounters a monster that he cannot defeat, he can use it as a trump card.

And, over 20,000 gold coins.

It just fills the vacancy of the last strange soul among the four souls.

The strange soul corresponds to the [Onmyoji] with two secondary attributes: effect hit and effect resistance.

This selection is much scarcer than the first three souls, with only a few to choose from.

There are Fire Spirit, Clam Spirit, Monster Box, Dice Ghost, Soul-Returning Incense, and Valley Echo, as well as the newly released Common Dive and Reminiscence Fire, which are less than two digits.

And among them...

[Fire Spirit (25 star): Increases mana limit by %. ]

...Do you still need to think?

Reduce the gold coins by 20,000 and obtain the soul "Fire Spirit".

Now, all four souls are complete, and the last soul is finally unlocked. The compatible souls are the five "leader" souls: Oboroguma, Arakan Skull, Ghost Songstress, Tsuchigumo and Earthquake Catfish.

Each of these Onmyoji, even the lowest level, requires 100,000 gold coins and 20 magatama, which is exactly the same price as upgrading an ordinary Onmyoji from one star to two stars.

It also shows its powerful effect.

There are quite a few magatama, but it will take some time to save up the gold coins. Yuzhongjin turned off the system screen. He didn't know how much time had passed. The two girls sleeping beside him were still motionless and very quiet.

Yu Zhuanjin turned her head and saw Suyue lying in Xizhao's arms. Xizhao was hugging Suyue tightly. The scene was extremely harmonious, but their quilts had been kicked away long ago.

Seeing this, Yuzhongjin sat up and covered the two sleeping people with the quilt again.

"Ow~"

Fu Fu took the opportunity to crawl into Yu Zhuan Jin's quilt.

"Good night."

Yuzhongjin stroked Fu Fu's head gently.

……

The next day, after breakfast, Yuzhuanjin still hadn't seen Qinghe, so he had to go to the library. He saw the old witch guarding the attic was cleaning the dust in front of the door with a broom. She looked like a sweeping monk, but her hands and feet seemed a little clumsy, so she helped to dump the dirt.

"Ahem, ahem, you're really early. In the past, the witches only came at noon. Although there is also a reason why I only open the door at noon..."

The old witch said with a hint of surprise.

“…Is that so?”

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhuanjin felt embarrassed. She didn't even know there was such a rule.

"No, that's not the case. Ten years ago, a jerk girl wanted to be lazy so she told the juniors that the library would not open until the afternoon. Then a straightforward little girl believed it and told her classmates the same thing. But for some reason, everyone believed her. As time went by, no one came in the morning. So I decided to open the library at noon so that I could rest a little longer."

As the old witch spoke, she opened the door of the library, allowing the bright and soft sunlight to fall on the bookshelves piled with countless ancient books.

"Phew~ Not bad..."

Yuzhong Jin almost thought that she had broken the rules.

"Come in, you can read these manuscripts at will as long as you don't damage them." The old witch said again.

"……clear!"

Yuzhongjin said solemnly.

……

Today's normal update (2/2).

Volume 44 Inuyasha (Part ): Chapter Chapter The Heart of My Self [Please recommend]

……

Standing beside the passage between bookshelves, Yu Zhuanjin looked curiously at the ancient books on the shelves, although the titles were quite obscure and difficult to understand...

It is either "Benji" or "Biography".

However, Yu Zhuanjin could still distinguish that these were all about the basic concepts and applications of magic power or spiritual power and spells. Just these contents would require more than a dozen books to record.

But it was more rigorous than when Yunhe first taught her, using only a few words to describe it.

But that was true. After all, the other party only needed her to mobilize her spiritual power and cast a spell. As for the reason? She was a witch who exorcised demons, not a scholar who specialized in studying spells.

However, for Yu Zhuanjin, even if these are just the guesses of the predecessors' sudden inspiration, they are full of great value and may be able to provide her with considerable help. After all, the most important power of idealism is imagination, and the source of imagination lies in the accumulation of knowledge. Otherwise, you don't even know how to think.

Just a fantasy? How could the spell be so simple?

Looking further, there is a collection of low-level spiritual spells and their extensions, which are even divided into several schools.

For example, the extended application of "hurry walk". A witch who did not want to reveal her name accidentally kicked a tree while casting this spell. It turned out that the strength of her foot increased, and even the recoil force decreased, and the amplitude was consistent with the effect of the spell, so the spell "Xun Jie" was created.

It was clearly a spiritual spell that increased speed, and it could actually be used for attack. It reminded Yu Zhuanjin of Yun He who also used "Speed" on arrows.

So, is that still "speed running"?

The spell and casting steps are exactly the same, it’s just that the spiritual power is attached to different places, so preconceived impressions are not acceptable.

Turn to the next page of this book, and compress the effect of "Speed" from the long-term limit to a moment, thereby instantly bursting out an effect of more than ten times the speed increase. Its name is - Flash Step!

Oh~ This is the most common and powerful spell in the game, but it cannot go through walls. Also, according to records, ordinary witches and even priests don't need this trick because its consumption is much higher than the ordinary "Sprint", compressing the effectiveness of spiritual power or mana, which is more troublesome than simply casting a spell.

Theoretically, it can be used as a trump card to save one's life, but it is only theory. The build-up time for casting the spell is too long. Even high-level priests need one or two seconds to condense their spiritual power.

Therefore, few clergymen practice it exclusively.

However, the ninja next door likes it very much, especially when carrying out assassination missions, they almost always hold their breath and use flash step, and hide the pre-swing of flash step by stealth.

"……I see."

The more Yu Zhuanjin read, the more surprised she was. Many of the spells that she had thought about in her spare time were recorded in the book, and their advantages and disadvantages were fully marked.

This is the foundation of a shrine. If Yuzuo was complacent, he would inevitably go astray. For example, "Instant Step" was the spiritual spell that Yuzuo originally planned to study.

I thought it didn't exist in this world yet. After all, the effectiveness of Flash Step is self-evident. However, it turned out that its cost-effectiveness was too poor, so it was abandoned by many clergy.

Fortunately, she didn't spend too much time studying it, otherwise she would have wasted more than half a month of precious time. Yu Zhuanjin felt fortunate. At the same time, she also understood why Yunhe specifically wrote about the library in the letter as an instruction.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Zhuanjin began to study hard.

There was only a quiet atmosphere in the library; the chirping of birds and the sound of wind were all isolated outside the attic.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Yu Zhuanjin had read more than half of the book in her hand. She had too much content to remember in her mind, so she needed to calmly digest it.

The same technique can produce many variations depending on the conditions in which it is performed. Starting with "purifying the mind", it can lead to tranquilizing the mind, chilling the mind, and even sharpening the mind.

“You can control your own state of ecstasy.”

With his hand on his chin, Yuzhuanjin muttered in a low voice.

"It's this spiritual spell~"

The old witch who was guarding the attic overheard Yuzhong's whispers, so she came over, her eyes fell on the spiritual spell that Yuzhong was flipping through, and continued, "I remember a lot of people who practiced this spell, but in the end, few of them achieved the "state of selflessness."

"Why, why?"

Yu Zhuanjin subconsciously asked, could it be that there is something wrong with the description? After all, this book seems to be quite old, so it is inevitable that there will be theories that have been overturned.

"In the final analysis, although the art of sharpening the mind is effective, it is only a supplement. The more you want to pursue that state, the more you cannot reach it. This is called obsession."

The old witch said, "Instead of pursuing that illusory realm, why not look back at the present and take a good look at what this method of sharpening the mind is."

"Sharpen your mind, strengthen your will, and open your soul..."

Yuzhongjin looked towards the row ahead.

In short, the actual effect of the spell is simply to eliminate distracting thoughts from the body and mind and increase the recovery of spiritual energy. The "state of ecstasy" is the ultimate achievement of this state, so there is a record of "autonomous control".

Although not very stable.

But the description is not wrong.

"exactly."

Hearing this, the old witch nodded slightly, but then she changed the subject and added: "However, although you cannot reach the state of selflessness, if you succeed in cultivation, you can also understand your true self. If you don't understand your true self, how can you enter the state of selflessness? How can you see the selflessness? So I still recommend that you learn this spell, maybe you will benefit from it in the future."

"Thank you, senior, for your guidance."

Yu Zhuanjin hurriedly thanked him.

Self? Is that the state before selflessness?

"No, this is not guidance. I say this to every miko I see."

Seeing this, the old witch shook her head slightly and said, "If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can always come and ask me. Although my ability is not as good as it used to be, I have read the book pavilion for thirty years. There is nothing here that I don't know."

"Please give me more advice in the future!"

Of course Yuzhuanjin would not refuse the other party's kindness.

"You are quite polite, little fellow."

The old witch couldn't help but laugh.

On the weather-beaten face, the wrinkles carved by time were smoothed out in an instant.

"—Boom!"

Just as Yuzhongjin was talking to the old priestess, a loud explosion was heard not far away, like a bolt from the blue, which caused the dust on the beams of the attic to fly everywhere.

"Ouch!!!"

Fu Fu was immediately frightened.

"……what happened?!"

Yuzhuanjin was also surprised.

"Come again?"

Only the old witch remained calm. She only sighed and explained, "It was the two disciples of the palace chief who caused trouble again."

"I gonna go see!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhuanjin could no longer sit still. To be honest, she had a pretty good impression of Su Yue and Xi Zhao. When she heard that it was about the two of them, she couldn't help but feel impatient.

“It’s not really a big deal.”

The old priestess was about to comfort him, but she saw Yuzhongjin running out of the door, and then the latter turned back.

Because Yuzhong Jin suddenly remembered that he was holding a book in his hand.

"It's just a handwritten copy. Just remember to return it when the time comes."

The old witch waved her hand, indicating that Yuzhongjin could go to Suyue and Xizhao first.

"Ok."
