Chapter 317
Magic tools like this are extremely simple to make. As long as the paper with a slightly hard material is fine, you can draw the necessary runes on it and then fold them into paper cranes.
"You have now embarked on the path of cultivation. Although your qualifications are good, the changes in the world are unpredictable. Tao is the basis and technique is the auxiliary. You can choose a specialty and only involve others after you go deeper."
After looking at the addresses of the seven subordinates, Jia Kedao said, grabbing the air with his right hand, and several books appeared in his hand.
These books were written by Jia Kedao based on his own experience, but they are more suitable for disciples than the books in the Sutra Library.
"These books are "Alchemy", "Making Equipment", "Painting Talisman", "Gauze Image", "Sword Cultivation", and "Spiritual Powers". You can choose according to your own wishes."
Jia Kedao then briefly introduced these books and threw them into the air. The books then floated in the air, emitting a faint shimmer of colors, which was very beautiful in the eyes of Meng Ting and others.
Jia Kedao directly threw it to his disciples a difficult problem.
With the insights of Meng Ting and others, it is really difficult to make a decision in these six books.
When it comes to alchemy, it is definitely a promising Taoist technique. The elixirs refined can speed up one's own cultivation, cure injuries, and giving them to others is also very respectful.
The equipment can refine various magical and spiritual weapons, which has a great effect on combat bonus.
As for drawing talismans, to be honest, this talisman combines the advantages of elixirs and tools. The talismans can cure injuries, treat diseases, call wind and rain, fight, etc., but their effect does not have the benefits of elixirs to speed up the speed of cultivation, and it is much smaller than the combat effect of spiritual weapons.
The hexagram is a type of divination and observation of Feng Shui. It looks weaker than the previous three types, but if you master them, you can seek good luck and ward off evil spirits. At least there is no problem in saving your life.
Sword cultivator specializes in practicing one sword. If he practices to the extreme, he may be the first in terms of combat power alone. Isn’t there a saying that one sword will break all the methods, but it is very bad in other aspects.
The last magical power attracted the most attention.
Well, this thing is quite mysterious, gorgeous, and more convenient in everyone's mind. The only problem is that it is much slower to practice than the other five books. Jia Kedao also mentioned this clearly.
In short, the things recorded in these six books have their own advantages and differentiations.
After Jia Kedao spoke, the seven disciples looked at each other, trying to find some ideas from their fellow brothers, but soon, they found that this was not reliable. So they stared at six books one by one, and their minds churned.
Finally, more than ten minutes later, Meng Ting stood up first and bowed to Jia Kedao: "Report to Master, I am willing to meticulously draw the talisman and ask Master to give me a letter."
Jia Kedao looked at Meng Ting who chose the drawing talisman and nodded with relief.
The head disciple is worthy of being the head disciple. He has to look at the problem a few points faster than other disciples, and he also sees through the essence of the problem.
In the three Taoist techniques of alchemy, making tools, and drawing talismans, the drawing talisman looks mediocre, but in fact it is the foundation of the other two Taoist techniques.
Making a tool requires mastering a large number of runes. This is especially true for refining advanced elixirs in the future. Only when the foundation of drawing talismans is laid can you master a large number of runes proficiently.
Of course, this is not absolute. In the process of alchemy and making tools, you can also master the runes by yourself, but it is a bit worse than drawing talismans.
In addition, Meng Ting may consider that he has already started to learn about alchemy, so he might as well choose to draw talismans, which will be of great benefit to alchemy in the future.
In Jia Kedao's view, this is the authentic inheritance of Laojun Temple. With Meng Ting's choice, Jia Kedao strengthened Meng Ting's status as the chief disciple.
After Jia Kedao nodded, he pointed his right hand and the book "Painting Talisman" floated towards Meng Ting, and after a few seconds it fell into Meng Ting's hands.
Jia Kedao then took out another book of "Picture Talisman" and added it.
After receiving the book, Meng Ting originally wanted to say goodbye to his master and went back to study it slowly, but Jia Kedao stopped him and asked him to stay and stay calm.
Seeing that the elder brother chose the book "Print Talisman", Zhang Qingming, who was already a little impatient, had no more thoughts and couldn't wait to tell Jia Kedao that he was willing to learn how to make a tool.
Jia Kedao didn't say anything about the request of the third apprentice. He pointed his right hand and floated towards Zhang Qingming and fell into his hands.
Compared to Meng Ting's steadyness, Zhang Qingming's personality is indeed much more frivolous, so he grabbed the book and started reading it.
With Meng Ting and Zhang Qingming as representatives, the other disciples also came forward to express their choices.
Liu Qingyun chose "Alchemy". At this point, the three most outstanding disciples in Laojun's view each chose a skill.
The next fourth brother Zhao Tianliang chose "Alchemy", which was not unexpected to Jia Kedao. Cooking and alchemy are actually the same in essence. Both need to control the heat, otherwise, both cooking and alchemy will fail.
The old fifth brother Jiang Heyi unexpectedly chose the book "Gua Xiang". You should know that in everyone's eyes, although this "Gua Xiang" has many benefits, its combat power is the weakest. As a young practitioner, he is somewhat disliked by this somewhat ordinary "Gua Xiang". Jiang Heyi, who is also not attracted by the attention of everyone, chose the Gua Xiang, which made everyone a little strange.
Of course, in front of the master, no one had the courage to ask why Jiang Heyi chose the hexagram.
Old Liu Longyishui, like his senior brother Meng Ting, chose "Painting Talismans". As for Cai Yinling, who was ranked at the tails of the senior brothers, her choice attracted more attention than Jiang Heyi.
She actually chose "Sword Cultivation".
As for the book of supernatural powers, no one is willing to choose.
At this time, Jia Kedao breathed a little relieved. Except for Cai Yinling's choice of sword cultivator, the other disciples' choices seemed good to him.
If there are one or two supernatural powers, Jia Kedao will really vomit blood.
In Jia Kedao's view, this magical power is not the right way at all. Compared with Taoist techniques such as drawing talismans, making tools, and alchemy, it is closer to art. Of course, Jia Kedao also admitted that magical powers are indeed very convenient. When he has time in the future, he will also practice several magical powers for backup.
Then, in the Land Temple, the disciples began to study the books they chose.
Jia Kedao was a rare answer to the disciples' questions.
The next morning, the night pearls in the temple were still bright.
These night pearls are actually spiritual lamps made by Jia Kedao using fluorite balls. They can use the spiritual energy around them to keep bright. They are regarded as extremely valuable magic props by those outer disciples. They are extremely careful every time they wipe them. (To be continued)
