Chapter 22.1 – Scrolls and Magic Arrays

Long Ling sighed softly and said, “Although Jing Jing may have a bad temper, she’s a good person. You shouldn’t have any grudge against her. Nian Bing……”

Nian Bing interrupted Long Ling’s speech, saying, “The President wanted us to compare notes on magic control cultivation methods. May I ask what you two usually do for magic control cultivation?”

Long Ling first stared blankly, then said, “Naturally, we use low rank magic then rely on our spiritual power to control the spell to the desired level. Don’t tell me you use a different method?”

Nian Bing smiled slightly and said, “Of course it’s not like that. Actually, magic control cultivation doesn’t have a particular trick to it. The main thing in cultivation is spiritual power. Relying only on magic control practice to cultivate spiritual powers would definitely not produce good results because the spiritual power isn’t going to receive enough stimulation. For example, when controlling your strongest magic, it will be very difficult to make it reach the level you desire. In the end, the spell will be used as a full frontal attack. Normally, you should already be able to use the magic you’ve learnt to its fullest extent and thus be able to control it. The reason why you are unable to control it, however, may not because your spiritual power is lacking, but because your spiritual power is not focused enough.

“Focus of the spirit?” Long Ling’s eyes lit up. She possessed a great gift in magic cultivation. Hearing Nian Bing’s simple pointer, she immediately understood many things. Pondering on his words, she asked, “But how is it that you succeed in getting your spirit completely focused? This would require a specific method.”

Of course, Nian Bing could not tell her that he trained his spiritual power control by cutting firewood. Helplessly he said, “The method varies from person to person. To put it simply, when you concentrate your attention on observing the same thing, your spiritual power will aggregate. For this, you’ll want to try out different methods to find the one most suited to your cultivation.”

Long Ling contemplated and then said, “I get it.” From her chest, she took out a small, exquisite magic wand. She did not speak another word as she walked into a corner, sitting down with a look of complete focus as she concentrated on the gem of the wand.

Nian Bing silently praised her. Although this kind of direct observation was somewhat inferior to his woodcutting cultivation method, it was no doubt the most suitable method for Long Ling. However, spiritual power cultivation wasn’t something that can be completed in one morning and one night. He himself had needed eight years to reach his current level.

Shi Jiu looked at Long Ling who was sitting down at the side, staring at the precious stone in deep concentration. He couldn’t help but be at a loss. He hadn’t heard what Nian Bing said earlier. Right then, looking at Long Ling trying out what Nian Bing had said, he could not help but feel somewhat funny. Sitting by Nian Bing, he said in a low voice, “I heard master say that originally he wanted you and Ling’er to cultivate in the library alone, and that it was you who invited me?”

Nian Bing smiled slightly. In a low voice he said, “Big Brother, don’t misunderstand! I reckoned that we would be at the library for a long time. You can just relax and pursue your Ling’er while I peacefully read my books. I’m just giving you guys the opportunity to interact. How’s that? Aren’t I a good brother.”

Shi Jiu extended his thumb to Nian Bing, the expression of excitement in his eyes unmistakeable. “Good brother, if you need something, do not hesitate to talk to Big Brother and I will definitely help you.”

Nian Bing gave a little smile and said, “Right now, there’s nothing I need. Big Brother, I’ll be reading books. Everything else, I won’t bother with.” Having said this, he grabbed a book and walked to another bookshelf to continue studying.
