Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 95: Complete Spell Levels
After Lin Qianxing promised Guan Yan to let her stay for two days to wait for Tang Yu to get married, Tang Yu was sent back to Kancheng overnight. Perhaps from beginning to end, he just thought he was just dreaming.
The next day, Lin Qianxing walked on the streets of Kancheng with a red umbrella in his arms, looking at the customs and people around him.
The ghost of Guan Yan was contained in his umbrella. Since the soul had no substance, any bottle or jar could be used to put it in. The reason he used an umbrella was that it was not obtrusive when he held it and it provided more space, which would make Guan Yan feel better.
Walking on the streets, Lin Qianxing felt that the order in Kancheng was pretty good . All shops were operating normally, and the faces of passers-by were not full, but they were not pale and thin either. This proved that although the lives of the people were not rich, they could barely get enough to eat. This made Lin Qianxing have some good feelings towards Xu Zongru, the lord of Kancheng.
At least he didn't let the people starve, right?
It should be mentioned here that in this game world, there is no such thing as a country. Each region is divided into cities and each city lives independently. The city lord is almost the largest force in the area.
Of course, compared to the sorcerer who controls extraordinary powers, the city lord is no match for him.
But the spell caster is detached from the world. The original founder Gongsun Youcai set a rule that anyone who practices spell casting must not be contaminated by worldly power and wealth.
Therefore, sorcerers are not allowed to do business or serve as city lords.
The destiny of a sorcerer is to assist the underworld in maintaining order between heaven and earth, so that the world can function better.
Well, it’s not entirely without benefits.
According to the merits you have accumulated during your lifetime, you can enter the underworld after death and become a ghost messenger. From then on, your name will be recorded in the Book of Life and Death, your death record will be erased, and you will become an immortal ghost cultivator.
One is to enjoy power and wealth in the world for a hundred years, and the other is to have the soul removed from the register of the dead and serve in the underworld. As long as one works honestly, one can live a long life in the underworld. In comparison, the spell casters can see it very clearly.
Of course, there are sorcerers who are unwilling to abide by this rule.
They learned spells, but coveted wealth and power in the human world, and used their abilities to do whatever they wanted. Such spell casters are called evil spell casters.
But they only dare to do it secretly and dare not act recklessly in the world.
After all, in today's world, most people are righteous spell casters.
However, even if the evil sorcerers live freely in the world for a hundred years, they will be punished by the ancestor who is the law enforcer after their death.
It can be said that it would be absolutely harmful and useless for the sorcerers to not abide by the rules set by their ancestors.
If you are willing to stick to the right path, nothing will happen.
Getting back to the topic, while walking, Lin Qianxing has already arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
Chanting a spell, Lin Qianxing instantly restrained his breath and hid his figure, disappearing from the eyes of ordinary people.
Then he swaggered into the City Lord's Mansion.
Walking and looking along the way, Lin Qianxing soon arrived at the boudoir of Xu Miaohua, the daughter of the city lord.
Lin Qianxing did not rush in rashly, but cast the [Spiritual Vision Spell] and looked at the house first.
In the state of spiritual vision, Lin Qianxing did not see the vitality that represented the living, but saw the deathly aura that represented the dead. However, this deathly aura was mixed with a ray of vitality, which kept her from dying.
"Master? Is there any problem?" Guan Yan, who was taken into Lin Qianxing's umbrella, emitted mental fluctuations and asked.
"There is something wrong!" Lin Qianxing said solemnly, "Tang Yu is just an ordinary scholar whose family has fallen on hard times. He has no engagement with the city lord's daughter Xu Miaohua. Why did the city lord choose him as his son-in-law?"
"Maybe she admires him? Or maybe the city lord's daughter thinks he is handsome and fell in love with him at first sight?" Guan Yan said.
"That's from your perspective." Lin Qianxing shook his head and said, "If I were in a high position, I would never let my daughter marry a man like this. Although marrying someone of equal social status is a bad habit, it is definitely the best way to reduce conflicts. Even if Xu Zongru loves his daughter and is willing to respect her choice.
But you also saw that from beginning to end he only sent someone to inquire about Tang Yu's date of birth, and then directly arranged for him to live in his house and announced to the public that he would marry his daughter to him, and then he didn't ask anything else. Is this reasonable?
Doesn't he want to examine his son-in-law's character and abilities?"
"Master Taoist, does the city lord want to harm Tang Yu?" Guan Yan asked nervously.
Lin Qianxing did not answer, but he already had some vague guesses in his mind.
He is proficient in all the spells in the Book of Spells except the forbidden ones, and has a thorough understanding of many methods.
When I saw this scene, I immediately thought of one thing.
That is "changing lives"!
The book of life and death in the underworld records the life spans of countless living beings in the world.
It even details every tree and every blade of grass.
The Book of Life and Death itself is more like the manifestation of the rules of life and death between heaven and earth, and is part of the authority of heaven.
It was only because the heaven and earth were in disaster that this part of the power fell into the hands of the Yin God.
Naturally, the Yin God cannot exercise this power as precisely as the Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, if Tang Yu’s birth date and time were the same as Xu Miaohua’s, their destinies could be exchanged through certain spells.
If their lives are exchanged, their life span will naturally be exchanged as well.
If Xu Miaohua had a short life and Tang Yu had a long life, after this exchange, it would be Tang Yu who would die, and Xu Miaohua would not have to die.
Combined with the deathly aura that Lin Qianxing saw, Lin Qianxing felt that this matter was almost certain.
The problem is that changing lives is easier said than done.
Even if Lin Qianxing, who is proficient in almost all spells, were to implement it, it would still take several years of planning.
But it had only been less than ten days since Tang Yu was found by Xu Zongru and brought to live in the City Lord's Mansion.
Lin Qianxing had no idea which evil sorcerer had such ability.
He frowned. He thought it was just a matter of staying for two days to drink some wedding wine, but he didn't expect it would involve such trouble.
But this is also a good thing. After all, having an evil sorcerer means that he will have new spell points credited to his account.
Lin Qianxing was a little unsure about the opponent's strength and didn't know whether his three-pronged attack could defeat him.
There is still more than a day left before Tang Yu and Xu Miaohua get married.
There were too few preparations he could make at the last minute, and it was too late for him to set up a formation to increase his strength by leveraging the power of heaven and earth. So, he had to call for more people?
Lin Qianxing looked at his panel and saw that upgrading the [Small Vajra Mantra] "A Glimpse of the Door" required 5,000 spell points.
He has been practicing diligently recently and has barely increased his proficiency by more than 200.
With the addition of the [Mastery of Spells] plug-in, he only needs more than 470 spell points to level up.
As long as he upgrades the [Small Vajra Mantra], his combat power will undergo a qualitative change. Even if he really cannot win and needs to pray to the gods, he will not suffer too many sequelae afterwards.
Adding up the remaining spell points and the spell points gained from killing wandering ghosts along the way, Lin Qianxing now has 305 spell points. Killing about a hundred more wandering ghosts will be enough for him to upgrade the [Small Vajra Mantra].
After thinking for a while, Lin Qianxing said to Guan Yan: "Are there many wandering ghosts around Kancheng?"
Guan Yan said, "Many. A few years ago, due to the swine fever, tens of thousands of people died in the surrounding area. The underworld officials were too busy to handle it, so that even now there are still at least thousands of wandering ghosts around who have not been caught and sent to the underworld to reincarnate."
"Can you gather them together? I will send them to the afterlife!" Lin Qianxing said.
"Yes! As long as I use Yin energy to lure them, they will instinctively gather here." Guan Yan said.
"Okay, then let's take action at midnight tonight." Lin Qianxing showed a happy expression and nodded.
After saying that, Lin Qianxing left without looking back.
From beginning to end, Lin Qianxing never entered Xu Miaohua's boudoir to take a look.
In case there was a backup plan left by the evil sorcerer, Lin Qianxing was really worried about alerting the enemy.
It was late at night, and Guan Yan's ghost body wandered around, and soon a large number of wandering ghosts were left behind her.
When Lin Qianxing saw this scene, he felt that his momentary kindness was indeed right.
I couldn't get any spell points by saving her, but now with her help, I need to get at least thousands of spell points.
Not to mention upgrading the [Small Vajra Mantra] from a beginner to a proficient master, even mastering it with ease is impossible.
"Master, please take action!" Guan Yan came in front of Lin Qianxing and spoke.
"Yes!" Lin Qianxing nodded, and with a thought, he directly cast the [Spiritual Light Spell], allowing a layer of white spiritual light to attach to his body.
This spell is a kind of blessing spell. Its effect is to attach a layer of spiritual light to the body, allowing attacks to hurt the spirit and have real damage to evil spirits.
Lin Qianxing had used this spell when fighting Guan Yan before.
With the blessing of spiritual light, Lin Qianxing punched each of these wandering ghosts and spirits and turned them into evil spirits.
Kill prompts also appeared one after another.
[Hint: You killed an ordinary wandering spirit and gained 1 spell point.]
[Hint: You killed an ordinary wandering soul...]
The wandering ghost was just an obsession, without a complete mindset, so he didn't feel any psychological pressure in killing Lin Qianxing.
Besides, physical salvation is also salvation. If the heavenly way still exists, we should even bestow merit on him to thank him for his help.
After being busy for a whole night and clearing out most of the wandering ghosts around, the spell points on Lin Qianxing's panel reached 2842.
He rarely felt the joy of being rich.
After putting Guan Yan back into the umbrella, Lin Qianxing sat cross-legged on the spot and called out the panel.
Then after a little calculation, he looked at the basic spell, [Protective Spell].
This spell had previously been upgraded by him to a level that was better than his original. The next upgrade would require 1,600 spell points.
Of course, Lin Qianxing has a plug-in, and he has used this spell during this period of time, so his proficiency has increased, so he only needs more than 150 spell points.
"Let's upgrade again and see the situation!" Lin Qianxing murmured.
With a thought, the proficiency level of the [Protective Spell] on Lin Qianxing's panel was directly upgraded from "better than the master" to "superb". A large number of details and experiences of using the spell emerged in his mind, allowing Lin Qianxing to understand the spell more deeply. He even made some innovative changes in some places to suit himself.
At this time, the [Protective Spell] on Lin Qianxing's panel could no longer be upgraded.
The protective spell [superb].
Lin Qianxing understood that this was the last level of the spell.
In other words, there are a total of six levels of spells in this game.
They are, having a glimpse of the basics, being proficient, being able to handle things with ease, reaching the pinnacle, surpassing the master, and being superb.
There are five upgrades in total, and the proficiency required each time is twice that of the previous one. The Pinnacle of Proficiency is the ultimate level for spell creators. Surpassing the Master means starting to change oneself and use the spell better, and Mastery means bringing forth new ideas and completely turning the spell into one's own.
