Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

In the evening, after Zhou Ling finished dinner and cleared the dishes, he returned to the house.

He took out the inscription pen and spiritual paper given by Liu Jiaoshi.

The inscription pen was finely crafted, with the body of the pen made of green spiritual jade and the tip of the pen tempered with black wolf tail hair.

He held it lightly in his hand and felt warm.

The spiritual paper was made of ordinary seven-star spiritual grass scraps, which can be used to copy and draw runes, magic arrays, inscriptions, etc.

He placed the paper and pen neatly on the wooden table.

Then Zhou Ling began to carefully observe the basic fire attribute inscription in the inscription jade slip.

[You observed the pen trajectory of the basic fire attribute inscription, primary insight +1]

[Cumulative observation times: 428/one thousand]

Basic fire attribute inscription.

One of the simplest inscriptions, the difficulty of understanding may be only slightly stronger than the basic breathing technique.

Even though Zhou Ling first came into contact with it, he only observed it for an incense stick of time. With the help of [Primary Insight], he quickly mastered the method of drawing this inscription.

Three folds and four points, the control of the turning of the pattern is a difficult point.

Feeling that he had understood it almost, Zhou Ling spread out the spiritual paper and prepared to draw.

This kind of spiritual paper is a low-priced spiritual pattern copying practice paper. It contains very low spiritual energy, and the spiritual patterns drawn have certain power.

During training, there is no need to use spiritual ink or other media.

Therefore, the drawing process will also consume spiritual energy.

There are different ways to draw inscriptions or imprints of different attributes.

Some need to use spiritual ink as a medium to draw on the magic weapon.

Some can be directly engraved with their own spiritual energy.

However, there is a common point. In the process of engraving inscriptions and imprints, fire attribute magic power is needed to cooperate in order to perfectly integrate the inscriptions and imprints with the magic weapon.

This is also the reason why most of the refiners are fire attribute cultivators.

Although the price of spiritual paper is not high, one sheet also requires a piece of broken spirit.

This is also a huge expense for Zhou Ling.

Liu Yan gave him fifty sheets, plus this brand new inscription pen, the estimated price is also three or four low-grade spiritual stones.

Zhou Ling was worried about failure and wasting spiritual stones, so he did not dare to be careless.

But perhaps because of some nervousness, the fingers holding the inscription pen were a little stiff.

Zhou Ling gently put down the inscription pen, took a deep breath, and waited until his mood calmed down before picking up the inscription pen and starting to draw.

This time, Zhou Ling relied on his previous understanding to quickly draw the flame inscription in one go.

Because it was a basic inscription and it was drawn on spiritual paper, it did not consume much spiritual power.

There was no pause in the whole process.

But the next moment, there was a puff.

A wisp of black smoke rose, and the spiritual paper became dim.

Zhou Ling was so shocked that he almost fell down.

Fortunately, it was just smoke, and after it dissipated, it had no effect.

But Zhou Ling felt distressed that a piece of broken spirit was wasted like this.

But thinking that there would be no gain without effort, he gradually felt relieved.

Feeling that the mana in his body was still enough to support the continued drawing, Zhou Ling took a deep breath.

However, he was not in a hurry to start again.

"What went wrong?"

"I wrote exactly according to the notes in the initial interpretation of the inscription."

"The spiritual power transmission is also stable enough."

Zhou Ling stood in front of the wooden table and carefully looked at the dull spiritual paper on the table. The flame inscription on it was still clearly visible.

He could still faintly see traces of spiritual power.

Soon, Zhou Ling found an error. At the first turning point, it was not smooth enough, causing the spiritual energy to stagnate.

Understanding the error, Zhou Ling carefully observed the fire attribute inscription again, while holding the green jade pen in his hand, simulating the outline in the air.

After feeling that it was roughly the same, Zhou Ling spread the spiritual paper again and began to draw the flame inscription.

But just after finishing, another burst of black smoke rose.

Another piece of spiritual paper was wasted.

Zhou Ling's hand holding the pen trembled, and another piece of broken spirit was gone.

He looked at the traces of the inscription on the spirit paper.

[Cumulative analysis times: 29/100]

[You are drawing the basic fire attribute inscription, natural talent +1, fire attribute inscription proficiency +1]

Zhou Ling found again that the reason for this failure was that his spiritual power output was too soft.

Flame inscription belongs to the fire attribute, requiring the brush strokes to be capable and powerful, and completed in one go.

After calming down a little, Zhou Ling gritted his teeth and continued to try to draw for the third time.

But as the inscription pen was running, Zhou Ling gradually felt extremely tired all over.

The spiritual power in the meridians quickly passed, and the spiritual power in the spirit cave was almost exhausted.

Because of the sudden reduction of spiritual power, there was a slight tingling sensation in the meridians.

Zhou Ling had to stop, sit cross-legged and meditate, and operate the Spirit Flame Art.

[You are absorbing spiritual energy, spiritual energy affinity +1, spiritual energy +3]

It took a whole cup of tea for a wisp of spiritual energy to appear in the meridians, and Zhou Ling recovered a little.

"It seems that drawing two or three inscriptions is the limit of my current cultivation!"

Zhou Ling opened his eyes, exhaled, and said secretly.

"Although this situation is a bit worse, fortunately, with the blessing of [Primary Analysis] and [Born with Talent], this inscription has also increased its proficiency by four."

"Practice for a few more days, and you may not be unable to draw it."

"One or two proficiency at a time, and you will be able to draw the inscription sooner or later if you understand a little more each time."

Zhou Ling thought in his heart, and his tense body finally felt relaxed.

"Ling'er, come out for supper!"

At this time, Li Ru's voice came from outside.

After hearing this, Zhou Ling felt his stomach growling, and he was really a little hungry.

He then got up and left the room.

Worried that Zhou Ling would consume too much energy in his practice at night, Li Ru specially prepared supper for him.

Spiritual rice porridge, a vegetarian stir-fried fire-patterned egg, and a small dish of beast meat.

The food was delicious, and Zhou Ling ate it with relish. After eating, he went back to the room and continued to practice the Spirit Flame Technique to refine the absorbed spiritual power.

Li Ru looked at Zhou Ling and said with concern, "The child has worked too hard for the Taoist Academy bonus. He has lost a lot of weight these days."

"Ling'er's foundation is poor to begin with. If this continues, I'm afraid she will be exhausted!"

Zhou Shan sighed, "It's all my fault!"

"Husband, how can I blame you!" Li Ru handed him the remaining pieces of meat on the wooden table.

Zhou Shan reached out and picked up a piece of meat, threw it into his mouth, and said while eating, "Save it for Ling'er's breakfast tomorrow!"

"There's more at home! Drinking all day without meat, what's the point!"

Li Ru rolled her eyes at him.

Zhou Shan couldn't help but take another piece.

Seeing his wife frowning, Zhou Shan said, "Today I discussed the matter of going into the mountains with Lao Chu. He happened to buy a fire-horned sheep from Daoyou Ye. I asked him to keep a leg for Ling'er to replenish her body."

"How many spirit stones does a first-grade middle-grade fire-horned sheep cost?" Li Ru asked.

"No need. With the relationship between me and Lao Chu, I will go into the mountains and find the spiritual medicine to compensate him." Zhou Shan said.

"There are five low-grade spiritual stones in it. Do you think it's enough? Lao Chu is not easy!" Li Ru took out a spiritual stone bag and handed it to Zhou Shan.

Zhou Shan thought about it and nodded, "That's right!"
