Chapter 2164: You Can Have This Book
Cheng Mingzi did want the pills and stroked his beard. “This kind of thing is not easy for this poor Taoist to accept.”
“Then, Taoist Cheng, please teach me how to draw that spell from before. How about exchanging that for these two pills?” Ning Shu said while shaking the bottle.
Cheng Mingzi thought for a while. “This spell is extremely complicated and can’t be learned in a day or two.”
“How about this? You can have this book.” Cheng Mingzi took out a book from his cloth bag. It looked very simple and old.
Ning Shu hurriedly grabbed the book and opened it. Inside were all kinds of Taoist spells.
Ning Shu grinned from ear to ear and said, “Thank you, Taoist Cheng. This is for you.”
Ning Shu returned to her tent with the book and carefully studied the spells.
Ning Shu knew how to draw spells. This was the so-called principle of, “understand the main point and the rest will follow,” After mastering the fundamental principles, she could draw all kinds of spells.
The book’s spells were more complex than those in the modern world. Modern spells were basically simplified versions of them.
Although the power of complex spells was great, they also placed a heavy burden on the body.
Ning Shu took out the cinnabar and tried to draw a spell, but it was very difficult and unfamiliar to her. As soon as she paused her work, the spell failed.
Ning Shu kept practicing until the spiritual energy in her dantian was gone. Then she stopped and started cultivating.
This body had been improved by spiritual energy and its spiritual root was much better. It was different from her previous predicament of having no way to absorb spiritual energy.
After cultivating for a while, Ning Shu went back to drawing spells. She mainly practiced making offensive talismans. She didn’t know what to expect from the tomb, so strong offensive talismans were the best.
With continuous practice, Ning Shu’s ability improved and she succeeded in drawing several talismans.
Ning Shu put away the talismans.
The sky illuminated with white light, signaling the coming of dawn. Ning Shu had practiced drawing spells all night.
For those she couldn’t draw, she simply memorized them for later.
Her adding so many intelligence points to herself was finally useful. She could easily memorize the contents of the book.
Ning Shu put away the spell book. This was a great profit, and she hadn’t even entered the tomb yet.
It was a good sign and Ning Shu was very happy.
Ning Shu walked out of the tent and saw Gu Rui standing not far away. His back was turned to her and he was staring at the entrance of the tomb.
Ning Shu pretended she didn’t see Gu Rui and walked toward Cheng Mingzi.
“Lanxin.” Gu Rui stopped Ning Shu. She turned her head and stared blankly at Gu Rui. “What’s the matter?”
“Do you still have those pills?” he asked.
Ning Shu shook her head. “No, I gave them all to Taoist Cheng. You should ask him.”
“How come I never knew you had that medicine?” Gu Rui looked at Ning Shu.
“There are many things you don’t know about me. Do you know when my Aunt Flo comes?” Ning Shu rolled her eyes.
Gu Rui: …
“I mean, how could you exchange those pills for a book? Do you even understand the book?” Gu Rui asked.
“Of course… I don’t understand it. I just like looking at it.” What could he do to her anyways?
Gu Rui said gently, “You’re just angry that I took the map and now you’re trying to go against me.”
“Yeah, it’s stealing if you don’t ask for permission. You stole it from me,” Ning Shu said lightly.
Gu Rui turned his head and looked at the dark entrance. “Mo Juechen asked you for the map several times, but you didn’t give it to him. I had to find another way.”
Ning Shu: …
She really had to admit respect for his ability to put stealing in such a righteous light.
