Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 90 Experiment
Outside Shijia Village, where Wang Hong died, a gust of cold wind blew, and a fierce ghost with a visible evil aura all over its body appeared.
His face was hideous and distorted, and he looked extremely ferocious.
This ghost was actually the evil ghost worshipped by Wang Hong.
Of course, his strength is much stronger than Wang Hong, and the two parties are just partners.
Wang Hong actually also practiced the spell to summon gods, but as an evil spellcaster, it was impossible for him to cooperate with the underworld, so he could only find a fierce ghost from the Jiaoshan ghost realm to worship.
Unfortunately, the gatekeeper invited by Lin Qianxing acted too quickly, so Wang Hong died before he even had the chance to invite him back.
The reason why this evil ghost appeared here at this time was because Wang Hong had cut off his blood supply, which made him somewhat confused about what had happened.
After searching for a while, the evil ghost sniffed the place where Wang Hong died, and then murmured: "What a pure incense smell? And there is no evil spirit. Is it the Yin God who took action? Tsk, forget it, find an evil spell caster to support me!"
After saying this, it rode away on a gust of cold wind, without even considering the revenge that Lin Qianxing had imagined.
…
Inside the Sanbao Temple, Lin Qianxing was studying the spells on his panel.
Although he has now unlocked all spells except the forbidden spells, except for the [Soul Gathering Spell], the rest are only at the "beginning of the door" level.
Now Lin Qianxing wants to upgrade his spells and see how many levels there are in this game.
During this outing, he killed a wandering ghost, a white zombie, four black zombies, and an evil sorcerer, and obtained 196 spell points. Together with the 10 spell points he had left, he had a total of 206 spell points.
Now it is no problem for him to upgrade some common spells.
After looking around the panel, Lin Qianxing's eyes fell on the [Protective Spell].
This time, it was thanks to the [Protective Spell] that he avoided being injured when he was attacked by the corpse baby controlled by Wang Hong.
Lin Qianxing felt that this spell could be slightly improved.
As a basic spell that only requires 5 spell points to unlock, the upgrade cost of this spell is not high.
It only takes 100 spell points to upgrade from beginner to proficient.
Lin Qianxing also has the [Mastery of Spells] plug-in, which reduces the cost of upgrading by 90%. In other words, he can upgrade this spell with 10 spell points.
With a thought, 10 spell points were consumed, and the [Protective Spell] on Lin Qianxing's panel was naturally upgraded to a level where he was familiar with it.
Some usage experience and details emerged in his mind, allowing Lin Qianxing to have a better understanding of this spell.
At this moment, Lin Qianxing was thinking, if his memory was still there the next time he played, then in addition to being able to obtain spells directly through comprehension without unlocking them with spell points, would the level of the spells also be retained?
After all, although physical memory will disappear, spiritual memory is still there. Logically speaking, he should be able to train to the same level again quickly.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Qianxing felt that it was indeed the right choice to choose the [Mastery of Spells] plug-in at the beginning.
The function of this plug-in is to lay the foundation.
After he has mastered all spells to the maximum level and gained experience, and then chooses other plug-ins to play, wouldn't that be equivalent to activating two plug-ins at the same time?
Lin Qianxing felt so excited just thinking about that scene.
Getting back to the topic, Lin Qianxing performed the [Protective Spell] at a familiar level and felt its strength.
The protective spell at this moment gave him a feeling similar to the fully-developed "Iron Shirt".
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for ordinary people to break through his defense.
However, correspondingly, consumption also increased by 20%.
Then Lin Qianxing continued the upgrade.
The spell points required for this upgrade are 200. Of course, he has a plug-in that saves 90%, so it is 20.
In a flash, 20 spell points disappeared, and the [Protective Spell] that Lin Qianxing was familiar with on the panel became easy to use.
Then Lin Qianxing cast the [Protective Spell] again to feel its strength.
This level is already the perfect level of "Iron Shirt", which can withstand the attacks of second-rate masters. The consumption of cursed power is increased by 20% compared to the previous level.
Continue to upgrade and 40 spell points will disappear.
With ease, he reached the pinnacle. The strength of the spell was increased again, and it could be compared with the "Golden Bell Cover" that had been cultivated to the ninth level in Taoshan Temple.
Simply put, first-rate masters cannot easily break his defense, and top masters generally cannot hurt him without using their ultimate moves.
As usual, the consumption of spell power has increased by 20% compared to the previous level.
It is still possible to upgrade at this time. The required spell points are 800. With the plug-in, Lin Qianxing only needs 80 spell points. Lin Qianxing still has 136 spell points left, so it is no problem to upgrade again. So he upgraded decisively.
The next moment, the [Protective Spell] on the panel went from being the best to being better than the best, and it could even be upgraded.
However, the current upgrade requires 1,600 spell points. Even if the consumption is reduced by 90%, Lin Qianxing cannot do it because he only has 56 spell points left.
Then Lin Qianxing tried the strength of the spell again.
As soon as the [Protective Spell] of a higher level was cast, Lin Qianxing's body was enveloped in a restrained green spiritual light.
After chopping himself twice with the wooden sword, Lin Qianxing had a rough analysis.
He felt that the defensive power of this level of [Protective Spell] was similar to the defensive power of the Golden Bell Cover he performed using the true energy of the innate realm.
With just this [Protective Spell], Lin Qianxing can ensure that a man with a thousand pounds of strength can hack him with a sword without getting hurt.
From this point of view, the upper limit of the strength of this game is probably much higher than that of "Changchun Gong". After all, this is just a basic spell.
But think about it, "Changchun Gong" is just a martial arts game, and this game involves ghosts and gods from the very beginning. If you ignore the background of the end of the world after the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, it can be regarded as a game of cultivating immortals, the level is completely different.
Finally, Lin Qianxing made a summary. In this game, the first five levels of spells are: beginner, proficient, capable, pinnacle, and surpassing the master.
The spell points required for each level upgrade are doubled.
After the spell is upgraded, its strength is greatly improved, and almost every level is a qualitative change, while the amount of spell power consumed is basically increased by about 20% compared to the previous level.
Of course, spells are dead, but people are alive.
The game world does not restrict everything with data like playing games on a computer, otherwise Lin Qianxing would not be able to learn skills through comprehension.
Therefore, when Lin Qianxing casts a spell, he can mobilize additional spell power on his own without having to rigidly follow the spell on the panel.
Even if it was just a beginner-level [Protective Spell], Lin Qianxing could use all of his 1,000 mana points. Although a lot of mana might be wasted due to his proficiency level, with great effort, the defensive effect might be comparable to that of a [Protective Spell] at the ease level.
Therefore, the improvement of basic spells such as [Na Ling Mantra] is the key.
Once you reach a higher level, everything else will be easy.
After all, a martial arts master at the innate level can beat a top acquired martial arts master to a pulp even if he only uses the "Basic Boxing Technique".
…
Time flies, and soon half a month has passed as Lin Qianxing recuperates and practices.
At this time, the injuries left on his body by praying to the gods had basically healed, and he was able to move freely.
Now, he also tried to practice martial arts in the real world and performed skin training.
Although the characters in this game cannot practice internal skills, they do have cursed power and spells.
If you master one method, you will master all methods. Lin Qianxing uses the [Traction Spell] to apply a force to various parts of the body, which can effectively temper the skin membrane around the body.
After the training, he found a place covered with weeds to cast the [Yi Mu Rejuvenation Spell]. After a good night's sleep, the aches and pains in his body would disappear, and he could practice again.
Although it is somewhat different from using herbs, inner strength, true qi, etc. to train the skin, the effect is better.
Moreover, Lin Qianxing felt that he could also use spells to complete the subsequent muscle strengthening, bone strengthening, marrow cleansing, and blood transfusion, which would not be too difficult.
At noon, Lin Qianxing and Gongsun Zhan were having lunch.
Gongsun Zhan's face was still as pale as ever, which made Lin Qianxing very curious.
After all, the injury he sustained from praying to the gods has healed, and Gongsun Zhan’s cultivation is higher than his, so it shouldn’t have taken so long, right?
" Master , your injuries haven't healed yet?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Do you think I just invited a divine thought like you did?" Gongsun Zhan said to Lin Qianxing unhappily, "At that time, I directly cast a spell to connect yin and yang, allowing the jealous guardian god to descend completely on me. It is definitely not that simple to bear its power. The injuries to the flesh are easy to deal with, but the injuries to the soul are more difficult. It will not be fully recovered without two or three years of recuperation."
Lin Qianxing understood that although they were all about summoning gods, the levels of the spells were different, the gods summoned were different, and the effects and sequelae were also different.
Simply put, he had only just begun to understand the [Gatekeeper Curse], and at most he could summon a wisp of the gatekeeper's divine consciousness.
Although one of his divine thoughts was also very powerful, after Lin Qianxing used the [Small Vajra Mantra] at the initial level, his body could barely withstand it.
If he is proficient in it or even at a higher level of the [Gatekeeper Curse], he can invite more gatekeepers' spiritual thoughts and even directly let their real bodies descend upon his body.
Then even if he used the [Small Vajra Mantra] at the beginner level, he would not be able to bear its power.
The most likely result would be that his body would be blown up by the gatekeeper's power, or he would be left with horrible sequelae after the fight, just like Gongsun Zhan at this moment.
It should be mentioned here that the [Spell of the Jealous and Evil Guardian God] in the Book of Spells is an advanced spell for summoning gods that is unlocked with 500 spell points. It is much more advanced than the [Spell of the Gatekeeper] that is unlocked with 50 spell points.
It was already very amazing that Gongsun Zhan was able to pray to the gods and still save his life.
But then again, Lin Qianxing was also very curious about what level of ghost king could force Gongsun Zhan to use this trump card.
Unfortunately, Gongsun Zhan remained silent on the matter and was unwilling to mention it, so Lin Qianxing did not dare to continue asking.
When the two were halfway through their meal, a shout suddenly came from outside the Taoist temple.
"Brother Gongsun, are you here? I have something urgent to ask of you!!!"
