Chapter 530 - 292: Is His Primordial Spirit Watered Down? This Is Unreasonable

Chapter 530: Chapter 292: Is His Primordial Spirit Watered Down? This Is Unreasonable

At first, she thought he had used some special connections to get in for an easy ride. Now, it seemed she had misunderstood.

’Was he sent in here by some enemy?’

’A single breath from another student could probably crush him.’

After composing herself, she looked at everyone and said, "You should have all tried the Charm Technique by now. This Magic Skill is simple, mainly relying on one’s speech, actions, and posture. A Charm Technique that merely relies on a Magic Skill to influence the Heart Spirit is far too common.

"You must enter the other person’s heart through your words and actions.

"Influencing the Heart Spirit is only temporary.

"Entering their minds is what makes it permanent.

"At that point, even if the world insults you, countless people will still argue in your defense.

"Of course, influencing the Heart Spirit is very effective in combat and crisis situations.

"You should all try to get a good feel for it.

"It’s best if you all can at least learn the basics."

"Master, is the Charm Technique really that terrifying?" Qi Xi asked.

"Yes. The terrifying part of a Charm Technique is knowing full well that you are deeply ensnared, yet being unable to extricate yourself. It’s knowing that you could be free if you just killed the source of the charm, yet you can’t bring yourself to strike. Because once you do, you’ve lost them forever," the Magic Master said, looking at the students seriously. "So, you must be careful when you encounter someone who can use Charm Techniques."

"If it’s so powerful, and we’re learning it, won’t other people learn it too?" Wang Yan asked.

The Magic Master nodded. "That’s a good question from this Student Cultivator. If we can learn it, others naturally can as well, especially the Ancient Cultivators.

"It’s just that they haven’t learned it systematically like we have, that’s all.

"Of course, most people who try it will realize that the Charm Technique is easy to learn but difficult to master. To better utilize their time to advance their Cultivation, they will automatically give up on it.

"But there will always be some who master it.

"And encountering them in battle is extremely dangerous.

"Therefore, today we will move on to the second lesson on Magic Skills.

"Dispelling Charms."

At these words, the crowd was once again in an uproar.

This time, many of them began to pay serious attention.

Especially the male students.

Miao Yulin asked with a smile, "Master, if we learn this, will everyone become immune to Charm Techniques?"

Her voice was sweet and pleasant, like a spring breeze brushing against one’s face.

"Your Charm Technique is so natural; it’s clear you’ve put a lot of work into it," the Magic Master said, looking seriously at Miao Yulin. "Dispelling Charms won’t make everyone immune to them. And just like the Charm Technique itself, it is easy to learn but difficult to master.

"Dispelling Charms begins with the Heart Spirit. Only by stabilizing your Heart Spirit can you resist being influenced.

"But against advanced Charm Techniques, a stable Heart Spirit is not enough. More importantly, you must see through them.

"First, see through the opponent’s intentions.

"Second, understand their Magic Skill.

"Third, know your own condition—that is, your weaknesses.

"Ultimately, the pinnacle of dispelling charms is to see through the essence of all things.

"But this essence is easy to talk about, yet extremely difficult to achieve.

"It requires a firm heart, immense willpower, a Talent for Magic Skills, and mastery and understanding of oneself.

"Today, we will begin by learning to identify an opponent’s intentions and classify their Magic Skills, and then we will find ways to counter them."

Jiang Man listened with rapt attention, feeling that this art of dispelling charms suited him perfectly.

He was a fast listener and a quick learner.

He glanced at the others. They hadn’t changed at all in his eyes; their attempts at Charm Techniques seemed to have very little effect on him.

It was clear his Talent was exceptional and his Heart Spirit was firm.

"Learned it already?" Ji Meng asked, sneaking a glance at him.

Jiang Man turned his head and gave a slight nod. "I’ve learned it."

Ji Meng rested her head on her desk, watching Jiang Man. After making sure the Master couldn’t see them, she asked, "What do you feel when you look at them?"

Jiang Man shook his head. "Nothing. I don’t see any change at all."

"Aren’t they using Charm Techniques? Why isn’t there any change?"

"Perhaps I was never ensnared in the first place."

Then, Jiang Man stared at Ji Meng and said, "I don’t see any change in you either, Miss Ji Meng. I only see that you’ve changed your hairpin and have an extra wisp of hair by your ear."

Hearing this, Ji Meng slowly sat up straight.

Xiaoqing was eavesdropping from the side.

’The Young Master is too observant! The Young Miss pulled that wisp of hair out on a whim today.’

’No wonder the Young Miss has been changing her appearance occasionally, always trying to make herself look prettier.’

’It turns out someone actually notices.’

This was what the Profound Wisdom had told her.

The Profound Wisdom had recently finished its advancement.

She could ask it more questions now.

"There are other ways to dispel charms," the Magic Master’s voice came just then. "Stop whispering. Whispering can sometimes be a form of Charm Technique itself."

Jiang Man had a sudden realization.

The Magic Master continued, "Most Charm Techniques are based on attraction to the opposite sex. There is one method that can solve the problem once and for all."

Jiang Man’s brow furrowed at her words.

A chill ran down his spine.

It was the same for the other male Student Cultivators.

"It’s by taking an Elixir. It can suppress any thoughts about the opposite sex. If you’re worried about Charm Techniques, you can take one before the grand competition to prevent being affected by them. This depends on how well you know your opponents. They are sold through Sect channels and in ordinary Elixir shops. You can look into them; there are quite a few varieties of these Elixirs," the Magic Master explained.

After a pause, she continued, "Also, there are some introductory courses on poisons recently. You must also guard against being poisoned during the competition."

Jiang Man was a bit surprised to hear this.

’Would this introduction to poisons include the Heart-Breaking Pill that I took?’

Afterward, Jiang Man went to find out more.

He discovered that there was indeed an explanation of the Heart-Breaking Pill.

Not only that, but it also explained how to cure the poison.

A cure existed in an Elixir shop on the Fourth Peak.

Jiang Man found this strange.

He made some more inquiries and learned that the Heart-Breaking Pill was not common, nor was it a frequent topic of discussion.

So this lecture had been aimed at him.

Back at his residence, Jiang Man gave the flatbread to the Tengu and then questioned the Old Yellow Ox.

"It seems the people behind the scenes don’t actually want you dead. They want you to obey them willingly. And normally, after a month, your body would start showing strange symptoms. You’d feel a bit itchy, and you’d be distracted during your Cultivation," the Old Yellow Ox said while chewing on grass. "At that point, you would realize what poison you’ve taken, recall today’s lecture, and seek them out."

After a pause, the Old Yellow Ox looked at Jiang Man and asked, "Are you going to look for them?"

Jiang Man shook his head. "I think I should first focus on finding a way to obtain the Nine-star Body Refining Method."

He had no intention of dealing with these people.

He had already shown his employer the value of a million Spiritual Source, so there was naturally no need to play along with their act.

’Unless there’s another million involved.’

The Old Yellow Ox wasn’t surprised. It just informed him that Zhao Tiankuo was gathering information again.

Recently, the Evil God and the Demon Race seem to have been quite active outside.

It’s just that their activities haven’t yet affected the Immortal Sect’s jurisdiction.

Zhao Tiankuo seems to be looking for someone from the Demon Race.

But he can’t go out himself.

"You mean, he wants to go through you to get me to find this person?" Jiang Man asked.

The Old Yellow Ox nodded. "Yes, to make you think it’s me who wants to find them."

"Who is it?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

"He hasn’t said yet. He told me to think carefully about how to frame the story for you," the Old Yellow Ox said casually.

Jiang Man wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he went to find Ji Shoumo and the others.

He asked for some Spirit Refining Pills to cultivate his Spirit.

After that, he cultivated day and night.

Ji Shoumo and Ji Chenfeng watched Jiang Man.

Although they had been shocked before, they had now stabilized their Heart Spirits.

When he first broke through, they had considered a possibility: that Jiang Man didn’t achieve the Primordial Spirit realm at twenty-eight, but had already advanced to it at twenty-seven.

Therefore, with such a deep accumulation, he was able to advance to the Middle Stage of Primordial Spirit this year.

Now that he was practicing the Visualization Skill, he no longer had that prior accumulation.

Breaking through again would not be easy.

Then, they discovered that Jiang Man had taken a leave of absence.

He was cultivating without sleep or rest again.

They had a bad feeling about this.

Even though they had managed to reassure themselves, this whole situation just didn’t feel right.

Especially since he had asked them for twenty Elixirs.

On the first day, Jiang Man cultivated normally.

On the second day, he was still cultivating normally.

On the fifth day, he was still cultivating normally.

Ji Chenfeng and the others felt there was probably nothing to worry about. He was just cultivating normally; it wasn’t as if he could achieve anything more.

The eighth day was the same.

It was now the fifth of October.

They also needed to figure out how to complete their three tasks to participate in the competition for the slots three years from now.

「The tenth day.」

As they were in the middle of a discussion, a powerful Primordial Spirit Power suddenly erupted.

It startled them so much that they shot to their feet, ready to act at a moment’s notice.

However, a careful check revealed no sneak attack.

Immediately after, the Primordial Spirit Power surged out again, like a tidal wave.

At that moment, they saw Jiang Man. Illusory stars were manifesting around his body.

With each rotation of the stars, ripples of power spread outward.

And these ripples grew faster and stronger.

It was as if he were trying to break through some kind of bottleneck.

The feeling was so familiar. Ji Shoumo and the others were stunned.

"He’s breaking through? This is unreasonable!" Ji Chenfeng was deeply shocked.

’What is going on?’

’This guy has broken through twice in a single month?’

’Twenty-eight years old, with a Primordial Spirit Cultivation.’

’With such frequent breakthroughs, is his Primordial Spirit watered down?’

’Is he actually at Foundation Establishment, just disguised as a Primordial Spirit?’

’Otherwise, how could he be this fast?’
