Chapter 49 Convinced
However, Han Xuan didn't care about so many things at this time.
He said directly: "Then I'd like to trouble you to give me some advice."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers and a translucent needle flashed and pierced through a big tree more than ten meters away.

"..."

To be honest, Han Xuan's spiritual power needle is actually much more powerful than the basic version of the spiritual power needle that Liang Xiao learned.

Perhaps it’s because the other party’s cultivation is also very high.

But compared with Liang Xiao's "Spiritual Needle", the opponent's little spell was too weak and unsightly.

He thought for a moment and said, "Can you perform it a few more times?"

"of course."

Han Xuan immediately used his skill again, shooting out one fine needle after another.

The power of these fine needles is almost the same. Killing an early-stage first-order monster may not be a problem, but if you encounter a middle-stage first-order monster, I'm afraid you won't even be able to break its defense.

This is the limitation of the inferior little spell. Although its power can be increased to a certain extent as the cultivation level increases, the increase is very small.

"Minister, your true qi... is of wind attribute?" Liang Xiao asked curiously.

"Yes, I am a mutant wind spiritual root, but the way we practice on Earth is not closely related to spiritual roots. Over the past two hundred years, we have already developed our own style, which is two different systems from the cultivation world."

Han Xuan explained: "Does the power of the spiritual needle have anything to do with this?"

"It doesn't matter if it's the wind-type Qi, but..."

Liang Xiao thought about it, and suddenly dug up the dead leaves on the ground and used the branches to draw a simple diagram of the human body's tendons and veins.

"Minister, please try these three tendons."

He pointed out three of the tendons: "Don't change the original method at all, but the route of the true energy, use these three tendons and cast the spiritual power needle again."

"Using these three tendons? Is it equivalent to completely changing the route of the Qi circulation?"

Han Xuan was a little hesitant and tried to adjust the direction of his true energy randomly, which could easily lead to going astray.

But he changed his mind and thought that this kind of small spell required a very small amount of true energy, and his body was not weak at all, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Moreover, Liang Xiao himself had modified this set of small spells, so he should have a lot of experience with it. Besides, the two of them were from the same hometown, so the other party should not harm him.

So he decided to trust Liang Xiao, tried to adjust the direction of his true energy, used the spiritual power needle again, and flicked his fingers suddenly.

"Oh!"

Dozens of meters away, a big tree was shot and exploded.

"This……"

Han Xuan was shocked: "The amount of Qi consumed has only increased three times, but the power... has increased at least ten times, and it has even increased the explosion effect. Why is this happening?!"

He found it a little unbelievable. Why would there be such a big change just by simply adjusting the direction of his true energy?
Liang Xiao smiled slightly and explained: "Because these three tendons, in my understanding, belong to Yin, Yang and Wind."

"Yin Yang and Wind?" Han Xuan was stunned.

Liang Xiao smiled and said, "Minister, you should know that the spells we cast basically involve attribute transformation, right?"

"Of course." Han Xuan nodded.

Without attribute transformation, water-based spiritual roots can only cast water-based spells, which is too restrictive.

Liang Xiao continued, "That's easy to explain. These three tendons, in my understanding, are Yin, Yang, and Wind. You use these three tendons to cast this little spell, which is equivalent to letting your true Qi possess the three attributes of 'Yin', 'Yang', and 'Wind' at the same time. The true Qi of the three attributes condenses into... a spiritual power needle. Such a spiritual power needle will naturally be greatly increased in power, and after a violent collision, it will naturally explode violently."

Han Xuan thought for a few seconds, then couldn't help but gasp and gave Liang Xiao a thumbs up: "As expected of someone who was admitted to Daluo Academy, I'm impressed by your comprehension!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Minister." Liang Xiao said with a smile.

Han Xuan shook his head: "Not at all. By the way, if other spells use these three veins, can they also have these three properties at the same time?"

"I don't know. I know very few spells, but you can try it when you have time, Minister."

Liang Xiao said: "But I don't think it will work. The reason why the spiritual power needle can use these three meridians is because this inferior little spell requires very few meridians. If the true energy is circulated together with other meridians, these three meridians will hardly become the main meridians, and it will be difficult to affect the properties and functions of the entire spell." When Han Xuan heard this, his head suddenly buzzed and he froze in place.

"Main meridians? Main... So the meridians that the true energy of a spell needs to pass through are divided into primary and secondary ones? Hiss... I see!"

At this moment, he actually had a feeling that his thoughts were clear.

Many problems that I couldn’t figure out before are now almost clear.

He had a hunch that if he sorted out the information he had learned today, his strength would increase by 50% at once!

The strength increased by 50% at once!

What is this concept?
This is equivalent to him suddenly becoming a little genius from an ordinary cultivator!

Even though it is still a long way from fighting against opponents of higher levels, he should be able to defeat many strong men of the same level.

At this moment, he even had the urge to worship Liang Xiao as his master. With just a few words, the other party solved the doubts in his cultivation that had accumulated over the years.

If I let the other party give me more guidance for a period of time, would my strength improve more?

However, his dignity as a 'senior' ultimately made him suppress this thought.

He was an old senior who had reached the peak of the foundation building stage, and was even the other party's superior. It was already embarrassing enough for him to lower his face to ask for advice, and if he were to worship the other party as his teacher, all the strong men of the same level would probably laugh their heads off.

Moreover, the other party may not be willing to accept you.

"Well, let's continue on our way."

Suppressing the thought of shame, Han Xuan said: "You don't have to do anything next time, I'll do it."

He couldn't wait to show off his new spiritual power needle. This set of spells with very low energy consumption should be able to surprise him.

"Okay." Liang Xiao didn't think much about it. He had no idea that this big man at the peak of the foundation building stage would actually want to take him as his master.

The two of them continued on their way.

Not long after, a monster was seen in the distance. Before the monster could react, Han Xuan suddenly snapped his fingers.

"Oh!"

The monster's head exploded.

Han Xuan was so excited that he secretly clenched his fists. That was a first-order late-stage demon beast, and he didn't even release his foundation-building aura. He only used a small amount of true energy to actually solve it.

"This new spiritual needle should be as powerful as a perfect Qi training spell, and this little spell costs basically nothing for me."

This means that he can cast such small spells all the time.

This is incredible, unbelievable!
However... compared to Liang Xiao, there is still a long way to go.

Because Liang Xiao used this little magic, he was able to kill enemies above his level. As a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi training, he could easily kill a mid-stage first-level monster.

Han Xuan was not greedy, because his spiritual power needle was taught by Liang Xiao, so it was understandable that he was not as good as Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao naturally noticed Han Xuan's excitement, but he pretended not to see it so as not to make the other party feel embarrassed.

From then on, whenever he encountered a monster, Han Xuan would shoot it to death with a snap of his fingers.

Sometimes, even if the monsters moved away on their own initiative, he would not let them go. He would kill them with a snap of his fingers, as if he had found a toy and had a lot of fun playing with it.

When he killed monsters, he also took the initiative to cut off the valuable materials and gave them to Liang Xiao as a way of repaying Liang Xiao's guidance.

Because Han Xuan personally led the way, the speed of the two increased again.

When it was completely dark, the two were already more than 300 kilometers away from Changlin City.
