Chapter 332: Chapter 325 Spell_1

“The Invisibility Talisman is particularly magical,” observed Ah Niu, “Having one or two on hand could indeed greatly enhance one’s ability to avoid danger.”

“Have you heard of spells?” asked Bei Bing as she wiped away the characters on the slate and wrote a new sentence.

“I’ve read about them in books. Aren’t they something that only Immortal Masters can perform?” Qin Niu held a deep yearning for the legendary spells.

However, as he had yet to even reach the Spirit Qi Realm, the prospect of learning spells seemed a distant dream.

Spells were thought to be standard for Immortal Masters.

They are quite different from martial techniques.

An Immortal Master, when in conflict with others, can engage in magical combat in addition to using martial techniques.

Magical combat here refers to attacks and defenses with spells, or using auxiliary types of spells.

Examples include invisibility, Divine Movement Technique, and so on.

They can’t be used directly for attack or defense in combat, but can be used to hide one’s form, making it difficult for enemies to find them, or to facilitate faster escape with the help of spells.

Qin Niu, who had just stepped into the threshold of cultivation, was quite ignorant of many of the practices of immortality.

“Spells can indeed only be performed by Immortal Masters, but there are also some powerhouses in the Spirit Qi Realm who can use spells with the aid of magical tools or talismans. For example, when you activate the invisibility talisman my grandfather drew, you gain the effect of invisibility, which is essentially like casting a copycat version of an invisibility spell,” explained Bei Bing as she wrote down some obscure knowledge about spells on the slate.

The effect achieved by talismans is indeed indistinguishable from spells.

But generally, talismans are considered ‘knockoffs’ when compared to spells.

One can think of it as a spell being sealed within a talisman, which is then released through specific conditions to activate the talisman.

Firstly, the material of the talisman itself is unable to withstand the full energy of the spell, so when inscribing a talisman, one must compress it.

Otherwise, the creation of the talisman will fail, and the materials will be destroyed.

Moreover, a talisman simulates a spell through the act of writing, which is quite different from an Immortal Master casting a spell directly.

This also means that a talisman will always be weaker than a genuine spell.

The advantage, however, is that once a talisman is created, it can be used easily by someone in the Innate Realm.

Even an ordinary person can activate certain talismans using their essence blood.

For instance, an ordinary person can activate a Contractual Talisman with their essence blood.

“When you use the Invisibility Talisman in the future, remember that some powerful Immortal Masters have ways to see through it,” Bei Bing reminded Qin Niu.

“So, as long as someone has a much higher cultivation level, they can see through invisibility?” Qin Niu was startled; he’d never considered this before.

Luckily, Bei Bing was there to warn him.

Otherwise, after activating the Invisibility Talisman and assuming he was concealed, he would be completely visible in the eyes of a more powerful individual, making a fool of himself, self-deceiving in front of a stronger opponent.

“Unless someone’s cultivation is several realms higher than yours, it is difficult to see through your form. However, some Immortal Masters practice arts like the Eye of Heaven, or Magical Mirror, which can see through invisibility. There are also special magical tools, such as Magical Mirrors, that can reveal your invisibility,” she continued.

Bei Bing understood many secrets of immortality.

She was indeed a professional.

Qin Niu chatted with her for nearly half an hour and greatly expanded his knowledge in the process.

He was lucky this time, having acquired two Advanced Contract Talismans.

As for the Invisibility Talisman, forget about it.

It was out of stock.

Even if he had the money, he couldn’t buy it.

The item itself was highly advanced, not typically available for purchase, even with ample money.

After leaving the talisman shop, Qin Niu browsed through the Cultivation Market.

He didn’t find anything particularly appealing.

Most wares were simple street stall goods or common cultivation materials, all ridiculously expensive.

He had hoped to buy gifts for his two soon-to-be-wed fiancées but ultimately had to give up the idea.

Luckily, having killed the ancestor of the He Family, he got a decent soft sword, which was quite presentable.

After leaving the Cultivation Market, Qin Niu headed straight for the inn.

Sometimes, plans change faster than they can be made.

Before, I was always worried that after He Jun received the protection of the Lu Family, it would be difficult to eliminate him.

Unexpectedly, with the help of Tang Yan, we caught and killed He Jun at the city gate.
