Chapter 73: Spellcasting and Talents
Lingzhu didn't need Su Zhi to teach her fist and foot skills, and Su Zhi couldn't force her, so she went home after lunch.
This time, Su Zhi did not take an online car-hailing trip, but chose to walk all the way to the nearby subway station to take the subway. It was already more than two o'clock when he finally got home.
"Isn't it hot for her to sleep like this?" Su Zhi found Xiaoqing lying on the bench in the yard, bathing in the hot sun at noon.
Before Bai Suzhen was sitting in the pavilion next to her reading a book, Su Zhi said to herself: "Think about Xiaoqing's original shape is bamboo leaf green, snake, and warm-inducing animal. How can I be afraid of the sun?"
"Snakes are warm-changing animals. Bathing in the sun is just to regulate body temperature, which does not mean that they are not afraid of the sun." Bai Suzhen said.
Su Zhi thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, I remembered that the snakes in the desert usually hide in the sand to hide from the hot sun."
"Seeing how sound she is sleeping, I want to go to bed." Su Zhi looked at Xiaoqing's sleeping look and felt that she was a snake. Her upper body was lying on her back, her head was tilted to the side, her arms hanged from the bench, her waist twisted, and her lower body was on the bench. This kind of movement can be done, and she doesn't feel uncomfortable, and she can still fall asleep.
"I've practiced the water method for a whole morning and I'm really tired." Su Zhi stretched.
As Su Zhi’s teacher, Bai Suzhen wanted to ask about his progress in his cultivation. Seeing that he was yawning, she just said gently: “Go to sleep and have a good rest.”
"Let's go." Su Zhi raised his hand to Bai Suzhen.
Su Zhi went back, returned to the room and fell directly on the bed. He closed his eyes and fell asleep within a minute.
Have a good sleep.
Su Zhi walked out of the room and walked through the corridor. He did not find Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing in the living room. They were still in the yard. Bai Suzhen was still sitting in the pavilion reading. Xiaoqing woke up and held a glass of water to read Bai Suzhen. She always liked to be with her sister.
Xiaoqing saw Su Zhi and asked, "When did you come back?"
"When you sleep," Su Zhi said.
"Are you going out now?" Xiaoqing knew Su Zhi's plan today, and learned the water method from Lingzhu in the morning, in return to teach Lingzhu's fist and foot skills in the afternoon. "How is the water method learned?"
"It's okay." Su Zhi said, "I just learned to control the water flow."
Xiaoqing knew how talented Su Zhi was. She had no hope for Su Zhi to go to learn water methods today. At this time, she was stunned for a moment when she heard his answer, and couldn't believe it and said, "What did you just say?"
Bai Suzhen also raised her head and blinked her eyes.
It is true that some people practice very simple, no matter what magic it is, they can pick it up easily after reading it, but Su Zhi's talent is that it takes a long time to learn just one breath and breath. His current cultivation level is all the relics left by Xu Xian, a former practitioner.
"I said it's okay. I just learned to control the water flow." Su Zhi repeated.
"I don't believe it." Xiaoqing said.
"What am I lie to you?" Su Zhi said helplessly.
Xiaoqing looked left and right, remembering that she was holding a water cup in her hand, and put it on the stone table and said, "You try it."
"Just try it." Su Zhi snapped his fingers in order to be handsome, and saw that the water in the water cup began to rotate, quickly forming a vortex.
"Really." Xiaoqing said, "You have really learned the water method."
"You always say that my talent is not good." Su Zhi became proud, "Can you do it now?"
"Hi, I said you're fat and panting." Xiaoqing said, "Do you know I can summon Yijiang River?"
"Yes, yes, you are the most powerful." Su Zhi knew the gap between him and Xiaoqing. Even so, he was not discouraged and could see that his own progress was enough.
Xiaoqing was happy for Su Zhi. Her interest in him lies in Bai Suzhen. She was worried that her sister would fall into someone else's arms. Bai Suzhen sat aside without smiling, but frowned instead.
When Su Zhi saw this scene, there was no doubt that Bai Suzhen must not be afraid of him, but that she had other hidden information and asked: "Sister Bai, is there any problem?"
Bai Suzhen spoke: "Your water method is not a spell cast, but more like a talent."
"Is there any difference?" Su Zhi asked.
"Casting spells is to control water through spells," Bai Suzhen said. "Talent is an innate ability. It is like foxes, they can master illusions without learning, as if those aquariums can master water methods without learning... Your water methods are more like those aquariums' water methods, not through spells, but through talent."
Su Zhi nodded thoughtfully.
"Isn't this method of learning to control water possible?" Su Zhi asked.
"Yes, there is no problem, it's just that the means are different." Bai Suzhen said, "I'm just wondering how you mastered the water method in that way as a human and without aquarium mixed race."
"Tell me what kind of spiritual bead you learned this morning." Xiaoqing said, "I have long said something wrong with that spiritual bead."
Su Zhi said all the story.
"I know the reason." Bai Suzhen said, "It must be the relationship she gave you that scale. That scale made you aquarium for a short time, and then mastered the water method through the identity of the aquarium."
"But why should a piece of carp scales make you swim faster at most." Xiaoqing said, "The dragon scales are almost the same."
"Xiao Su, tell me what the scales that the spirit beads give you look like." Bai Suzhen said.
Su Zhi simply described the appearance of the scale. It was only the size of a phalanx of a thumb, and it was rich in metallic luster, but the feel was not cold metal, but it was elastic.
"There is no way to judge what scale it is from your description." Bai Suzhen said.
"Anyway, she said it was her scales." Su Zhi said, "I don't know anything else."
"Don't you teach her fists and feet in the afternoon?" Xiaoqing said, "I'll go with you secretly, but I want to see what kind of monster she is."
"You haven't seen her before," Su Zhi said, "Have you seen something?"
Xiaoqing fell down her shoulders, a little discouraged for a moment, then nodded and said, "Look carefully this time."
"When will we leave?" Xiaoqing asked.
"If you don't leave, you won't go anywhere. She has something to do in the afternoon, so I don't need to teach her how to punch her." Su Zhi said, "Look at the time. It's already three o'clock now, so I'll go there long ago."
"Xiaoqing, don't mess around." Bai Suzhen said, "We just need to know that she is so willing to teach Xiao Sushui Method, so it's good that she has no malice."
"You're curious." Xiaoqing stuck out her tongue.
Bai Suzhen looked at Su Zhi and said, "Xiao Su doesn't have to care about those trivial matters. If someone helps you, there will definitely be no malice..."
"Yeah." Bai Suzhen nodded, "Well, I said that Xiao Su's way is not in the practice of cultivation, it turns out that way."
"It seems that I will go out more in the future." Su Zhi said.
