Human beings are in a state of deception, and immortality begins with the secret book of origami

After the discussion on Mu Lin's reward was concluded, all the teachers left.

When they came, they thought there was an invasion from foreign enemies. They came in a hurry, but when they returned, everyone was very leisurely.

Therefore, when leaving, someone chatted about Dongfang Ya.

As for her dedicated efforts to benefit students, some people think she is meddlesome.

"Mu Lin and Ji Xue are not your real disciples. They just have some master-disciple status. You can just pay attention to them at will. Why bother..."

Some people lamented her noble temperament.

"It is said that the town where Dongfang Ya is located has a natural disaster-level strange thing passing by. Everyone in that city has died. The reason why she survives is that there are noble-minded demon subduers who protect her with all their strength... She is likely to be affected by this. I especially like to take care of my juniors..."

Whether it was sighing or feeling that Dongfang Ya was troublesome, those who left had a touch of envy in their eyes.

Obviously, they also want to have such a responsible teacher when they are young.

At the same time, the departing teachers were also discussing whether Mu Lin could maintain the number one spot in Anping Taoist Palace.

In this regard, the opinion given by most people is - no.

When they came to such a result, it was not because the teacher was targeting Mu Lin, but because they derived it based on common sense.

"Although I don't know how he overcame all the geniuses and became the number one in the Dao Palace, for us Qi practitioners, mana is the foundation. And the further you go, the more important your mana cultivation becomes."

"Yes, it's about entraining qi and enlightening spirit. Because the monks at this stage have just started and their magic system has not yet been fully established, it is common for them to fight across levels. It is not uncommon for qi practitioners to defeat Yongquan. But since Yongquan, it is extremely difficult to fight beyond the level. "

"...No matter what trump card that Mu Lin has, as long as Ji Xue and the others advance to the Wellspring Realm, Mu Lin's chances will be slim, and once Ji Xue and the others advance to the Spirit Pool, he will have no chance at all."

…

Mu Lin was unaware of other people's evaluations of him.

However, Mu Lin has long felt that it is difficult to cultivate magic power.

In this regard, Mu Lin also found a way to deal with it.

There are two methods. The first is the conventional method - taking pills.

Alchemy Talisman Array, among the hundreds of cultivation arts, the reason why the Alchemy Master has the ability to overpower the Alchemy Master, the Array Master, and the Talisman Master, ranking first among the minors, is because taking elixirs can improve a person's cultivation.

Some precious elixirs can even allow people to break through the realm.

However, the medicine is three-part poison, and most of the elixirs for improving cultivation are extremely expensive. The poor Mu Lin can only consider this as a secondary option.

Mu Lin felt that the most suitable one for him was the core talent of the Taiyin Living Man's Sutra - paper substitute.

"One person is slow to practice, but what if there are three or five people!"

"Although, now, my stand-in paper man has no meridians and cannot run the exercises or develop magic power."

"But it has reached three levels, and the fourth level is the master. No matter what kind of technique, mastering it is a qualitative change."

"As long as I advance to the fourth realm, I am 80% sure that I can make the paper substitute absorb the light of the moonlight and gather mana for me."

He did whatever he wanted. After returning to the dojo, Mu Lin immediately began to harm himself.

"Pfft..."

As the knife stabbed himself in the body, while Mu Lin was in pain, the progress of his paper man substitute also increased again.

What Mu Lin didn't expect was that after dozens of blows, his spell - Paper Man Curse, even though he had no practice, had improved by two or three points.

"Huh? This is for...wait a minute, paper man substitute and paper man curse. These two spells are indeed connected."

"They are all spells that use paper as a medium to connect with humans."

"The difference is that the curse of the paper man links others, while the substitute paper man links himself."

"At the same time, the curse of the paper man transfers the injuries from the paper man's body to the human body."

"The paper substitute transfers the injuries from the human body to the paper man..."

The more he thought about it, the more Mu Lin felt that the two were similar. This similarity touched Mu Lin's spiritual sense and made him subconsciously transform his own paper substitute.

"The way the paper man curses to establish contact with others is his real name, blood essence, and birth date... The substitute paper man has my blood essence, my soul aura, and my magic power on it, but it doesn't have my name."

"Perhaps, I can engrave my real name and birthday on the paper substitute."

"Buzz..."

Following Mu Lin's thoughts, the paper substitute in his Dantian suddenly changed, as if a sharp pen was carving words on the paper substitute.

The character first wrote Mu Lin's name, and then, Mu Lin's birthday and birth date were also engraved on the paper substitute.

"boom!"

As his real name and birthdate were engraved on the paper substitute, Mu Lin inexplicably felt that his connection with the paper substitute was much closer.

After opening the proficiency panel, Mu Lin discovered that all this was not his illusion.

[Replacement paper man (talent spell), level 3 proficiency (4909/8100), characteristics: clone phantom (two clones), injury transfer (50%)]

"My proficiency level actually reached 4909 points. I remember just now, it was only over 1,000 points. But with a flash of inspiration, my proficiency level increased by three to four thousand points!"

The sudden increase in proficiency shocked Mu Lin for a long time.

At this moment, he understood why all Qi practitioners pursue enlightenment.

In fact, a single moment of enlightenment can last for months of hard training.

This is because Mu Lin has a proficiency panel, and his skill proficiency improves very quickly. For many people, a sudden enlightenment can be worth several years.

"Even for me, this is very useful. Originally, it would take two or three months for the paper substitute to advance, but with this epiphany, I can advance within a month at most..."

"...It will take another month."

Thinking of this, Mu Lin sighed.

What made him even more helpless was that the reason why the paper substitute advanced so slowly was because of his magic power.

Mu Lin was not afraid of pain, and he was even more capable of stabbing himself ruthlessly.

However, after the paper stand-in is damaged, it needs Taiyin Huoqi to repair it. Since Mu Lin has less Taiyin Huoqi in his body, the number of spells he can train in a day becomes extremely limited.

"Mana, mana, this has become my shackles..."

——It can also be seen from here that some teachers believe that mana is the root of everything, and this sentence is correct.

The magic power was too scarce, so Mu Lin was unable to practice his magic with all his heart.

…

Troubled by the scarcity of mana, Mu Lin frowned.

Her performance made Chu Lingluo next to her feel distressed.

"Brother Mu, are you troubled by anything?"

"No……"

"Well!"

The casual perfunctory made Chu Lingluo a little angry. She sat upright and said to Mu Lin with a serious expression: "Brother Mu, don't treat me like a child. We are teammates and we have to help each other."

"Well……"

Seeing that Chu Lingluo was really angry, Mu Lin also noticed that his attitude was wrong.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault... However, I still have to defend myself. I don't treat you as a child, but as a sister."

What Mu Lin didn't realize was that Chu Lingluo was stunned for a moment when he said so, and her fists clenched because of nervousness.

Because he didn't realize this, after apologizing, Mu Lin expressed his troubles.

"I have a skill to practice, but because of the scarcity of magic power, the number of times I can practice it every day is extremely limited..."

When he complained, Mu Lin did not feel that Chu Lingluo could solve his problem.

But soon, he witnessed the ability of rich people to make money.

"Is the mana scarce? Wait a moment."
