Chapter 86 - Fascinating Spells (2/2)
Meanwhile, Grandpa Guo takes out a booklet and gives it to Lin Luoran. Seeing the words “Spells of the Five Elements” written on the cover, Lin Luoran is flattered. She has a hard time believing that she just gets the spell book she longs for so easily?
Grandpa Guo notices her surprise and explains, “Don’t be amazed. This booklet only records some primary spells. You can have it if you like.”
“Thank you so much, Grandpa Guo!” Lin Luoran expresses her grat.i.tude sincerely. The primary spells are valuable to her. Especially, the first page happens to record the Fire Ball spell she tries but fails to cast!
Noticing Lin Luoran’s happiness, the two old men both praise her for being pure and virtuous in their hearts. How can a primary spell booklet account for the favor of life-extending? They want to give something else to her in return, but they are struggling about what gift the apprentice of a master in the level of Bearing Essence may like.
Grandpa Mu leaves the thought of returning the favor behind him for now and makes several gestures with his right hand. Four mounds rise up from the empty ground. Lin Luoran senses the fluctuations of Reiki but she can’t figure out what Grandpa Mu is going to do at the moment. She stares at his hand gestures without blinking and relaxes more to sense the Reiki fluctuations — Lin Luoran has realized from her failure of casting the Fire Ball spell that she may have ignored the Reiki fluctuations while casting spells. She refuses to let this opportunity pa.s.s.
After a few seconds, the four mounds take shape gradually. It turns out they are one table and three chairs.
Ordinary people may think this is magic, but Lin Luoran can feel the moving brown Reiki molecules on the ground. Looking at the table and chairs made of mud, she realizes that the brown Reiki must belong to the nature of earth!
“Grandpa Mu, the mud is wet and soft. We can’t sit on it!” Lin Luoran a.s.sumes that Grandpa Mu hasn’t finished his performance, so she says something ironic on purpose in order to push him. She wants him to have a sense of accomplishment so that he can cast more spells. Lin Luoran loves to take more free spell lessons.
Grandpa Mu smiles. Lin Luoran’s little trick cannot fool him at all. Nevertheless, he sees her as a nice junior, and he likes to spoil her.
“Watch closely, Luoran!” Grandpa Mu starts to make another gesture with his right hand. His actions are slow and completely different from the spell he casts to make mud into table, or Wen Guanjing’s Fire Ball spell. A sharp and serious sense comes out with every single move he makes, and golden Reiki molecules in the thin air are reacting to him. Grandpa Mu looks careful and not as easy as he was when he casted the earth spell just now. He shouts, “Spell complete! Go!” A golden light comes out of his palm. The metal Reiki collapses with the earth Reiki and generates sparks. Fire starts to burn around the wet mud table and chairs!
He is drying the mud table and chairs? Lin Luoran stares at the sparkling flame. Her heart is beating fast. She is 100% sure that Grandpa Mu doesn’t direct any fire Reiki. Where does the fire come from?
Grandpa Guo coughs. He can’t bear the sight of Mu tricking the young woman with the myth of spells. After all, Mu is an old man, and the woman is a young cultivator.
“Mu, though metal and earth will generate fire, the spell can only be casted by cultivators above the level of Laying Foundation. Don’t try to trick Luoran!”
