Invincibility starts from strengthening everything

Listening to Zhao Han's narration, Su Wei's eyes gradually lit up.

The time of the Outer Sect Grand Competition has been advanced three months later, and the format of the competition has changed from the traditional form of disciples fighting in the arena to entering a secret realm to complete specific tasks, and the final ranking is based on the degree of completion of the tasks.

The most important thing is that the cultivation base limit for participating in the big competition has been reduced from the late stage of Qi training to the middle stage of Qi training, that is, above the fourth level of Qi training. , is limited to under the age of twenty-five.

The Outer Sect Grand Competition is the only regular way for outer disciples to be promoted to the inner sect. The top three in the competition can be promoted to the inner sect. After being promoted to the inner sect, not only can they be exempted from all chores, but their monthly salary will also be greatly improved. What's more, you will have a more comfortable practice environment.

All the disciples of the outer sect yearned to become a dragon in the dragon gate of the competition, and Su Wei was no exception. Unfortunately, after learning about the various conditions of the competition, Su Wei temporarily gave up his plan to participate in the competition.

The cultivation base limit in the later stage of Qi training is not a big problem for Su Wei. With +6 spiritual roots and enhanced spiritual stones, if you work harder, the possibility of breaking through in five months is still very high, but the most important problem is that he is mere The fifth-class spiritual root broke through five realms in five months and advanced to the late stage? It will definitely cause a huge sensation, which is very bad for keeping the secrets of the body. Moreover, Dabi must be ranked in the top three before he can be promoted to the inner sect. This way, the limelight will be even greater.

After weighing it over and over again, Su Wei decided to be more stable. Anyway, he is only sixteen years old this year, and it is still too late to wait for the next five-year competition. Moreover, he has a direction on how to make money. Even if he is practicing outside the school, the resources are not enough It will be missing, there is no need to take the risk of exposing the secret.

But at this time, after learning about Dabi's changes, Su Wei changed his decision.

Five months of cultivation to the seventh level of Qi training is indeed shocking, but it is much easier to accept after three months of cultivation to the fourth level of Qi training, although this speed is still too fast for a fifth-level spiritual root. But it won't be too conspicuous. Even if someone notices Su Wei, they can explain it with some little adventure stories, so don't worry about drawing too much attention.

In addition, the change in the form of the big competition also gave Su Wei more room to operate, so he didn't have to worry about exposing too much strength and being in the limelight.

After asking Zhao Han carefully for the details of the big competition changes, Su Wei no longer hesitated and decided to participate in this big competition.

Although the short-term goal has changed, it does not have much impact on Su Wei's daily cultivation activities. According to the current cultivation speed, he can reach the fourth level of Qi training within two months. There is absolutely no problem with the standard of cultivation. Daily cultivation In the middle, Su Wei continued to participate in the study of spells and talismans.

In order to make it less sudden for him to break through the fourth level of Qi training in the near future, Su Wei found an opportunity to show his third level of Qi training to Cui Lin and Zhao. Guessing that Su Wei's strength has soared, he must have broken through his cultivation base long ago. As for Zhao Han who has divine consciousness and has always judged that Su Wei was on the second level of Qi training before, the two didn't think much about it, but thought that Zhao Han was wrong.

Zhao Han really regards Su Wei and others as friends now. After seeing Su Wei's "breakthrough", he actually took out ten spirit stones and distributed them to the three of Su Wei, cheering the three of them up, saying that they will fight for the big competition. Participate together and take care of each other.

The ten spirit stones were divided among three people, and one more piece was given to Cui Xiuyuan. Su Wei didn't know why, and he didn't dare to ask.

A month later, Su Wei's cultivation has steadily risen to the peak of the third level of Qi training, and he will surely break through to the fourth level next month. At the same time, the learning of basic spells has also achieved remarkable results. In addition to the bombardment technique, Su Wei learned three more. Gate spells, defensive spells golden mask, light body spells stepping on the wind, and the pre-skilled weapon skills that must be learned to control magic weapons.

The improvement in cultivation base was expected, but Su Wei didn't feel much, but the learning results of spells were somewhat beyond Su Wei's expectations. At that time, he spent 200 spirit stones to strengthen his comprehension. The Bailing Stone was only enough to strengthen it to +3. Su Wei thought the effect would not be obvious, but he did not expect to practice spells again, and the efficiency was amazing.

It took a whole month to learn the bullet-flame technique. Now that Su Wei is asked to practice the bullet-fire technique again, it only takes six days to learn it. However, although the learning speed is accelerated, Su Wei has no plan to practice the entire spell book. He still understands the reason why he can't chew too much. He only selected the most suitable spells, and all the extra time was used to improve the proficiency of the spells.

The proficiency of spells is divided into five levels, entry level, mastery, minor success, major success, and proficiency. The higher the proficiency, the higher the power or defense quality of the spell, and the shorter the casting time. If you can reach the proficiency level, Even the cast time can be exempted, and the spell can be cast instantly.

Su Wei's current bullet and flame technique has reached Xiaocheng level proficiency, and the other three spells, except for the imperial weapon technique, which has no proficiency division, the other two have been mastered.

Attack, defense, and displacement. Su Wei now possesses the three elements, and he can already initially display the strength that matches the strength of his cultivation base. Considering his own weakness in spiritual consciousness, Su Wei estimates that it is better to fight head-on without using someone with a big head. If you use the bullet and flame technique to attack, you can easily defeat the sixth level of Qi training without physical strength, but it is still difficult to win against the late stage of Qi training.

Of course, if physical strength is added, it should be difficult to have an opponent in the territory of Qi training.

Compared with spell training, the learning progress of talismans is much slower. Although +3 comprehension is also helpful for talisman drawing, the difficulty of talismans is much higher than that of spells, and unlike spell cultivation, talisman practice requires cost. You have to spend money to buy talisman paper dansha talisman pens, and talisman paper dansha is a one-time consumable. If you make a wrong drawing, it will be scrapped directly, which costs a lot of money.

In the past, Su Wei always thought that talismans and spells were the same thing, because all the talismans he had seen had corresponding spells. Therefore, Su Wei always thought that talisman means sealing spells in talisman paper. Knowing spells, one can easily draw talismans. However, with the understanding of talismans, Su Wei discovered that spells and talismans are actually two different things.

Spells are monks' use of their own mana, but talismans use special runes as the medium to manipulate the aura between heaven and earth to gather on the talisman paper, and form various spells according to the different properties of the runes.

The power of the final talisman is also limited by the nature of the runes, and it is clearly divided into three levels, and the talisman is also divided into three grades according to this: low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade.

The power of the top-rank talisman is equivalent to the great success effect of the same spell cast in the late stage of Qi training, the middle-rank is the great success spell in the middle stage of Qi training, and the low-rank is the small success spell in the middle stage of Qi training.

The former two are extremely difficult to form and require a very high level of talisman skills. They rarely appear on the market, and every time they appear, they will be sold out; the most common talisman is the low-grade talisman. Su Wei last month The several talisman counterattacks encountered during the robbery belonged to this level.

Of course, although the difference between spells and talismans is much greater than what Su Wei originally thought, there is still a very close connection. Both of them achieve the effect of spells by manipulating the operation of energy, but one uses mana, One is the use of natural aura. Although the methods are different, the principles are the same. Therefore, as long as there is a certain spell, then the corresponding talisman can generally be researched based on this spell, and vice versa, it can also be converted into a spell for cultivation.

This explains why talismans usually have the existence of spells.

Since talismans use runes to control the spiritual energy scattered in the world outside the body, the difficulty is much higher than directly manipulating the mana in the body. Therefore, the difficulty of cultivating talismans is much higher than that of spells. In theory, even if you don't know some spells, It is also possible to draw the corresponding talisman, but in actual operation, the talisman drawer will first practice the corresponding spell before starting to learn the talisman, because doing so is equivalent to familiarizing with the principle of this spell in terms of mana that is easier to operate, On this basis, if one studies talisman skills, one can get twice the result with half the effort, and learning talisman skills alone, unless one is a genius of talisman dao, it is extremely difficult to succeed.

The higher the proficiency of the relevant spells, the easier it is to learn the corresponding talismans.

Su Wei was lucky, his talisman and magic came from the same line, and the runes in the talisman encyclopedia had corresponding spells in the spell encyclopedia, which saved him the trouble of learning other spells to facilitate talisman cultivation.

Even so, the difficulty of talisman cultivation was beyond Su Wei's expectations. With the help of enhanced comprehension, he only made a breakthrough in the most familiar bullet-fire talisman in a month, while the talismans corresponding to other spells, There has not been a successful sign so far.

"It's no wonder that drawing and selling talismans is such an obvious way to make money, but not many people go for it. Is it so difficult to draw talismans..."

In the woods behind the hut, Su Wei looked at the bullet-flame talisman he had just drawn in his hand and the ashes of a piece of scrap talisman paper on the ground, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Now, Su Wei's bullet flame talisman production rate remains at 30%, and they are all low-grade talismans. It will take a long time to work hard to draw higher-grade talismans. Even with the current results, if there is no +3 It is absolutely impossible for Su Wei to achieve the aid of comprehension. In a word of self-comfort, a 30% success rate in a month is already a genius of the Dao of Talisman.

Su Wei also planned to strengthen a wave of talisman skills, but after trying, he found that talisman skills could not be strengthened because they were not exact skills like bullet fire, but a very complex knowledge system.

Su Wei also thought about strengthening the low-grade talisman to make it more effective and sell it at a high price, but he quickly gave up. The mechanism of the strengthening machine is to enhance the attributes of the original grade of the item, and it will not improve the grade in appearance. , For example, Su Wei's cultivation base, strengthening +9, is still the second level of Qi training by outsiders, even though the mana in his body is no less powerful than the late Qi training.

According to common sense, the fluctuation of spiritual power manifested by strong mana will definitely be stronger, and it will also be perceived by outsiders, but the all-things strengthening machine is a bug after all, and of course it cannot be theorized as usual.

Because of this mechanism, if Su Wei strengthens the talisman, the low-grade is still low-grade. If he wants to sell it at a high price, he has to be tested to confirm that the power is indeed different. If this is the case, the profit is worth the trouble, but the key The reason is that this kind of phenomenon violates the laws of cultivating immortals. Once it spreads, it will definitely attract great attention. Su Wei's Wuyin can't stop everyone from investigating. If a high-ranking monk notices him and reveals his identity, he will definitely There is no way to explain this phenomenon, and it is likely to expose the existence of the enhanced machine.

"Originally, I planned to study other kinds of talismans. Now it seems that I should concentrate on studying the Danyan talisman first. Fortunately, the Danyan talisman can barely make a profit. If you continue to practice, at least you won't feel bad about losing money."

Su Wei sighed, took the ten talismans drawn in the past few days, sold them in the inner market, and bought the materials for the next talisman training.

Originally, Su Wei planned to find an agent to help him sell the talismans, so as to save himself the time of setting up a stall. Now, due to the changes in the big competition, the entire outer sect is preparing for the big competition, and the sales of talismans have also doubled several times. Therefore, , there is no need for Su Wei to find someone to buy for him, and the inner city is now full of stalls for buying talismans.

The booth where Su Wei bought the talisman paper has now added the business of recycling talismans. After research, Su Wei confirmed that the price of the goods here is not cheating, so he simply supplied the talismans here.

The market price of basic low-grade talismans is 2 spirit stones. In order to save the trouble of retailing, the price of Suwei’s supply booth is slightly lower than the market price of 1.6 wholesale price. Excluding the success rate and various material costs, each piece of talisman Suwei can have 0.5 Now Su Wei can produce 2 talismans per day on average, and if there are more, he will not have the energy to maintain the rate of talismans. Therefore, the profit is only 1 spirit stone per day, and a net income of 30 a month.

Compared with Su Wei's previous hundreds of thousands of dollars, this income is really inconspicuous, but the victory lies in the long flow of water, Su Wei is still quite satisfied. Besides, the rate of signing spells will increase in the future, so there is still a lot of room for improvement in this income .

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, there are only forty days left before Dabi.

In the early morning of this day, Su Wei opened his eyes with joy, feeling the mana in his body several times thicker, excitedly said to himself: "Fourth level of Qi training! It's a few days faster than I expected!"
