Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

After leaving the stall, Zhou Ling went to a nearby pastry shop and bought nine pastries for three yuan before returning home.

I ate three pieces for myself and left six pieces for my parents.

When I came to the kitchen, I opened the lid of the pot and found a large bowl inside, with a stewed fire pattern chicken and a full bowl of chicken soup.

The soup is still steaming, exuding an alluring aroma, and is garnished with some coriander.

You can also clearly see the faint spiritual energy fluttering.

There is also a small plate of fried vegetables.

The water in the pot is still a little warm.

Zhou Ling tore off two large chicken legs and filled a bowl of chicken soup.

Thinking of his father coming back in the evening, he put back another chicken leg.

After covering the pot, he finished his meal happily, ate some spiritual cakes, and then returned to the house.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zhou Ling began to run the Spirit Flame Art to refine and absorb the spiritual energy of the food just now.

After a while, he opened his eyes, then took out the five elements basic inscription jade slip and put it on his forehead.

Study the imprints carefully.

Only by first understanding the structural connection of the imprint can he repair the Condensing Fire Imprint.

This is the income from ten low-grade spiritual stones, which is equivalent to his father's income from venturing into the mountains for a month.

Moreover, while learning and practicing, your understanding of the imprint will deepen.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

The jade slips record the three most common ways of constructing basic inscriptions: compound inscriptions, hook-up methods, and arrangement methods.

There are also thirty-six basic imprints of the Five Elements.

There is a diagram at the back of the imprint, recording the type of imprint, how to combine the imprint, and other important points.

It is a relatively common imprint pattern.

Among them, how to choose the method of connecting the inscriptions, how to combine the inscriptions, the different proportions of spiritual ink, and the way of drawing requires the cooperation of spiritual power, etc.

It is much more complicated than learning to draw inscriptions before.

Zhou Ling also had some difficulty understanding it.

This was Zhou Ling's first time coming into contact with inscriptions. Although he had been able to draw six inscriptions at once before, that was only the effect of increasing proficiency.

Compared with the imprint in front of you, the difficulty is completely different.

Moreover, inside the jade slip, it is also stated that the inscription can only be attempted to be drawn after the third level of Qi training.

Fortunately, Zhou Ling has now entered the third level of Qi training.

After burning the incense, Zhou Ling felt dizzy and almost threw the jade slip away.

It is really difficult to comprehend this imprint.

How can the inscriptions be integrated with each other?

[You are practicing "Five Elements Basic Seal", the more you are frustrated, the more courage you will get +1, and your understanding +3]

[You are practicing "Five Elements Basic Imprint", your natural talent +1, Five Elements Basic Imprint proficiency +1]

As the prompt emerged, Zhou Ling seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he seemed to have some understanding of the connection between the inscriptions.

After pondering for a long time, he had no clue. With the blessing of talent, it was completely different. With just one stick of incense, Zhou Ling roughly mastered several main ways of connecting imprints.

······．

After his parents came back, they asked him to go out for supper.

The big chicken leg that he deliberately left for Zhou Shan returned to his bowl.

At his father's insistence, Zhou Ling could only eat it.

After eating, Zhou Ling returned to the room and continued to study the basic imprint of the Five Elements.

He felt that the difficulty of this imprint was completely different from that of the inscription.

The reason is not only that it is difficult to learn, but also that the drawing process is complicated and cumbersome.

It is necessary not only to have precise proportions of spiritual ink, but also to completely master the imprint. The process also requires mobilizing the spiritual power within the body to cooperate.

And even if you master these, you may not be able to succeed.

If the hooking method is slightly wrong, it will fail!

The fusion between the inscription patterns is not in place, failure!

The spiritual ink is inconsistent with the material, failure!

······

There is no room for error in every stroke.

As long as you are proficient in ordinary inscriptions, you can generally draw them with a high success rate.

But the inscription is completely different. If there is a mistake in any of the six inscriptions, the result will be in vain.

However, fortunately, Zhou Ling has the blessing of talent. As long as he keeps practicing, he will be able to master it sooner or later.

······

Time flies.

I have been exploring and researching for half a month, with the help of [The more frustrated I become, the more courageous I become] and [I am born with talent].

Zhou Ling finally got the hang of imprint drawing.

Without the blessing of talent, even if Zhou Ling is given another year, he will not be able to find a way.

However, Zhou Ling's next attempt to draw the basic Condensing Fire Seal did not go well.

The Ninghuo Imprint contains six flame inscriptions, two of which Zhou Ling has never learned before.

The hooking method is quite complex and difficult to draw.

Moreover, the six inscriptions are all very difficult and require a lot of spiritual power and consciousness.

The difficulty of drawing the imprint itself is not small, and some tricks are simply difficult to understand without the guidance of a famous teacher.

Fortunately, Zhou Ling has the talent of [the more frustrated he becomes, the more courageous he becomes]. After drawing a few times, he gradually understood the key points.

Through the blessing of talent, Zhou Ling gradually improved his proficiency.

However, as I started drawing on the spiritual paper, my spiritual energy was consumed too much, which made it easy to make mistakes.

Either the drawn inscription cannot be constructed into an inscription; or the connection and compounding methods are wrong, causing the spiritual power to fail to form a closed loop.

Moreover, drawing it at once consumes almost one-third of the spiritual energy in the body.

It also takes a lot of time to recover.

Zhou Ling could only be patient and take it step by step.

But the spiritual paper and ink consumed every day are worth more than a dozen pieces of broken spirits, which makes him feel distressed.

[You are practicing the "Five Elements Basic Inscription", natural talent +1, five elements basic inscription proficiency +1]

Fortunately, the sound of the system prompt made him feel that everything was moving in the right direction.

Only then was he relieved.

Five days later, Zhou Ling returned home that day, finished his meal in a hurry, and began to continue drawing the fire condensation inscription.

It was smooth at the beginning, one stroke at a time, steady, and finally successfully outlined it.

But it took a long time.

It took him nearly half an hour to draw the six-pattern fire condensation inscription, and the spiritual power in his body was nearly half consumed.

But when Zhou Ling looked at it carefully, he found that the spiritual power on the inscription was extremely obscure.

[You are analyzing the fire condensation inscription, primary analysis +1, fire condensation inscription proficiency +1]

Zhou Ling quickly found the problem.

The first inscription was not powerful enough to cover and lead the other five inscriptions behind.

After discovering the problem, Zhou Ling activated the Spirit Flame Art and practiced it for three cycles.

After his spiritual power was restored, he continued to draw.

This time, when he drew the sixth inscription, the entire inscription flickered a few times and was about to dim, but as Zhou Ling put away the inscription pen.

A burst of spiritual light gradually appeared on the inscription.

"Finally it's done!"

Zhou Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

It took nearly a month to successfully draw the first inscription.

Zhou Ling was excited, which meant that from today on, he was no longer an apprentice in refining.

He already had the qualifications of a refiner.

Of course, to become a true first-grade refiner, he had to refine a first-grade superior magic weapon and pass the Dao League assessment and certification.

However, he was very satisfied with the current progress, after all, he was not even eight years old.
