Chapter 2203
Xiao Chen nodded, then he bowed to the Old Ghost and left.
Although the Fengsha Sword might not be able to be taught to him by the Old Ghost, since he had already obtained the knowledge that the Old Ghost had taught him, the Fengsha Sword would be able to answer his questions perfectly when he went back. There was no need for him to stay in the Old Ghost’s place. Moreover, he was worried that he might expose some information about himself if he stayed in the Old Ghost’s place to study. Anyway, now that he knew that he had an inexplicable Spell Formation Talent, Xiao Chen wasn’t worried about the tests and the like.
On the way back, Xiao Chen was very happy. Because he suddenly had an inexplicable Spell Formation Talent, and it was even scary when he thought about it.
But no matter what, it was absolutely beneficial for him at present. So Xiao Chen was in a really good mood. After all, he had such a powerful Spell Formation Talent. In the future, when his attainments in Spell Formation Skills were higher, he would be able to be independent.
If he could improve his cultivation and Realm by a few more levels, even if he didn’t reach the Heaven Celestial Realm, he could still go out for adventures. At that time, it would be much easier for him to earn money and Contribution Points. With money and Contribution Points, he would improve his cultivation faster and faster. This was a virtuous cycle. The stronger one was, the stronger he was. This was the principle in the Cultivation World.
“Xiao Sha, Xiao Zhong, tell me what’s going on with my sudden Spell Formation Talent. Although it’s of great benefit and help to me now, I still can’t feel at ease when I have such an inexplicable, nature-defying Spell Formation Talent!”
After returning to the house, Xiao Chen sat down with his legs crossed. After the excitement died down, he asked the Fengsha Sword and Donghuang Zhong at the same time. After all, this matter was too weird. If he couldn’t figure it out, he wouldn’t be able to feel at ease.
The two kids’ answers made him speechless, but he wasn’t too surprised. Because the two kids, Donghuang Zhong and Fengsha Sword, said they didn’t know why he suddenly had such a powerful Spell Formation Talent.
“Brother, don’t think too much about it. Maybe you have this kind of Spell Formation Talent before, but it hasn’t been discovered in the Lower World. Now that you’ve come to the Celestial Realm and achieved the Body of a Genuine Celestial, maybe this Spell Formation Talent has been completely stimulated. That’s why it’s like this.” Then the two kids, Donghuang Zhong and Fengsha Sword, started to comfort Xiao Chen again.
“Okay, I got it. Let’s not think about it now. Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, I’m going to learn the Spell Formation Master just gave me. If there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll ask you, Xiao Sha!”
Xiao Chen also knew that this kind of weird thing couldn’t be figured out in a short time. So he didn’t force it. After sitting cross-legged and resting for a while, he continued to study in seclusion!
Two months later, he would have to go to Elder Zhang’s place to learn alchemy techniques after half a year of studying at Old Ghost’s place.
He didn’t know what it would be like to go to Elder Zhang to learn alchemy, and he didn’t know if he could finish it in advance. So he had to take advantage of the remaining two months to try his best to finish the task that Old Ghost gave him before he left.
In this way, if he could go to Elder Zhang’s place and then go to Old Ghost’s place half a year later, he wouldn’t be in too much of a rush. Perhaps Old Ghost suddenly added so many tasks to him because he wanted to see if he would use these two months to study hard.
However, Xiao Chen didn’t want to think too much about it. He just felt that since there were still two months left, he naturally couldn’t waste it. There was a saying in the Lower World, “First the bitterness, then the sweetness.” This meant that he had to finish the task first so that he wouldn’t panic at the critical moment.
Xiao Chen directly began to study in seclusion again. Moreover, the knowledge that Old Ghost gave him this time was many times more profound than the knowledge he had learned before.
When he was learning the theoretical knowledge in the ancient scroll, it only took Xiao Chen more than half an hour. Now that he was learning the more profound knowledge of Spell Formations, although the amount of knowledge was similar to the amount recorded in the ancient scroll, it took Xiao Chen nearly half a month to master the theoretical knowledge.
This made Xiao Chen a little emotional. When he was in the Lower World, although the Fengsha Sword also mentioned that he should learn some knowledge about Spell Formations, he didn’t learn it.
This was because learning Spell Formations was really a test of talent and a time-consuming thing. If he didn’t have talent, he might not be able to learn the theoretical knowledge in half a month, let alone half a month. Moreover, even if he had talent, it would still take him a lot of time. After all, Spell Formations was the most mysterious path in the world. The further one went, the more profound the knowledge of Spell Formations became. It became extremely difficult to learn and master. It was slightly easier in the early stage, but later on, even if one had talent, it was impossible to master the profound knowledge of Spell Formations in a very short period of time.
Therefore, it only took him half a month to master a lot of basic knowledge. This time, it took him half a month to master the same advanced knowledge. Xiao Chen didn’t feel surprised. He felt that it was normal. He was also very clear that when he learned to a higher level in the future, it would be more difficult to learn and master. This was the difficulty of Spell Formations. Therefore, everyone who could become a Spell Formation Master had a relatively high status, because there weren’t many people who had the talent and ability to learn Spell Formations.
However, what made Xiao Chen gratified was that although it took him half a month to master the knowledge, he had completely mastered it. Moreover, he didn’t feel that there was anything he didn’t understand, nor did he need to consult the Fengsha Sword. This made him feel somewhat gratified. He knew that his sudden talent in Spell Formations might really be very powerful.
Following that, Xiao Chen rested for a day to digest all the knowledge he had gained. Only then did he start to master the formations that Ghost Geezer had given him before he left. Among them, there were quite a few powerful killing formations and trapping formations, and two or three ordinary illusory formations.
Illusory Formations were the most difficult to learn and arrange among the Spell Formations. Therefore, the Old Ghost only tested his ability in arranging Killing Formations. Now, he directly gave him three Illusory Formations, which made Xiao Chen feel a little pressured.
