While Qi Ping was conjuring clouds and rain with a wave of his hand, casting all kinds of spells effortlessly, even Yaya and the bees were left stunned by him.
Such speed and variety in spellcasting was a bit outrageous, even by cultivation world standards.
The truth is, Qi Ping’s current soul power and natural comprehension are just extremely high, so practicing and casting Qi Condensation-level spells poses no difficulty for him at all.
“Right now, there aren’t many secrets left for me in ordinary Qi Condensation-level spells.”
Over the past six months, Qi Ping had practiced and studied almost every common Qi Condensation spell—from the five basic elemental spells, sword control techniques, Qi Condensation methods, body refinement techniques, and tool control methods—several times over.
Ordinary Qi Condensation spells held few mysteries for him anymore.
He could even cast some basic spell techniques on a whim.
This was the reason Qi Ping now dared to create his own spells. Apart from his exceptionally high soul power and natural comprehension, his greatest asset was the accumulated foundation of spell knowledge and understanding.
This was something he had built up through hard work and insight, bit by bit, over this period!
Under normal circumstances, this amount of time would have been enough for him to master several Foundation Establishment spells to a high level, but Qi Ping didn’t regret his choice at all.
Building the foundation for creating spells and developing the mindset for it was far more important than mastering a few Foundation Establishment spells.
“I’ve now completed the first step on my path of spell creation. Next, I need to try creating the spells I actually need!”
Learning spells is hard, but creating them is even harder!
Right now, creating Qi Condensation-level spells is the best starting point for Qi Ping. Once he becomes proficient at creating spells at that level, he can move on to creating Foundation Establishment-level spells.
After practicing Foundation Establishment techniques and spells, Qi Ping also realized that the gap between Qi Condensation spells and Foundation Establishment spells wasn’t that big. It’s mostly just adjustments based on changes in the foundational realm, with the main difficulty being a deeper understanding of the true intent behind the laws.
Now that he had accumulated such a deep foundation in Qi Condensation spells, learning Foundation Establishment spells wouldn’t be too difficult either. Since Qi Ping had begun to grasp the essence of spells, learning new ones would naturally come much easier.
In fact, if Qi Ping continued to deepen his understanding of spells, he could probably start practicing ordinary Foundation Establishment spells after just a bit of study.
Even those true inheritance-level spells, which once seemed so profound and mysterious, now looked unremarkable to Qi Ping. They just had a few extra layers added—nothing truly mysterious about them.
At the core, it still comes down to comprehending the true intent of the laws and accumulating a solid foundational base—things like a deep and stable foundation, special spiritual flames, or unique physiques.
With these as support, the power of any spell you cast is bound to be impressive.
“Next, I’ll start by creating spells suitable for the four spirit trees: Blazing Sun Wood, Moonlight Tree, Starlight Wood, and Dark Iron Tree.”
Qi Ping already had a plan in mind for spells suited to these four spirit trees.
First, the spells for the Moonlight Tree and Starlight Wood would be the simplest.
For these two productive spirit trees, Qi Ping only planned to inscribe a spell into their tree spirit marks that would help them absorb moonlight and starlight.
This spell would speed up their absorption and refinement of moonlight and starlight energy.
Having made this decision, Qi Ping couldn’t wait to get started.
Soon, he went to the Moonlight Tree, took some moon essence from its roots, and began to slowly refine it.
During the refinement process, he continuously tested different types of absorption and refinement methods, carefully observing how each spell affected the pull and refinement of the moon essence.
After drawing some conclusions, Qi Ping kept experimenting and improving, constantly testing the optimal way to run the spell under controlled conditions.
About two weeks later, Qi Ping had lost count of how many times he had tried and failed—probably thousands or even tens of thousands of attempts.
If it weren’t for the strength of his soul, comprehension, and mental fortitude, he never could have sustained such an intense process of spell creation.
But thankfully, the results were good!
“I’ve finally created a spell suitable for the Moonlight Tree!”
Feeling the moon essence being rapidly absorbed and refined within his body, Qi Ping was absolutely thrilled! After thousands of failures, he had finally found the optimal solution.
The spell he was now using ensured maximum absorption and refinement speed for moon essence, greatly accelerating the Moonlight Tree’s ability to take in moonlight.
For a production-type spirit tree, this was a versatile, all-purpose spell. Its overall characteristics weren’t particularly flashy, but with sufficient absorption and refinement speed, it could greatly boost the accumulation of moon essence.
Next, Qi Ping spent another two days perfecting the spell.
“I’ll call it the ‘Moonlight Refining Method’!”
After creating and initially perfecting the ‘Moonlight Refining Method,’ Qi Ping walked over to the Moonlight Tree, which was now three times his height.
A hazy, mysterious aura of moonlight radiated from its silver-white trunk and leaves, and a special moon-attributed spiritual energy surrounded the tree like mist.
The entire tree looked exceptionally pure and beautiful.
Under the Moonlight Tree, the little spirit fox, who had just finished training, was sound asleep, tired out!
Ever since the Moonlight Tree had grown, the little spirit fox loved staying near it. She had even moved her sleeping nest there.
In her own words, “Fox fox likes it here. Sleeping here is so comfy!”
Qi Ping didn’t disturb her. Instead, he extended his awareness into the tree spirit of the Moonlight Tree.
A strong, eager thought emanated from the tree spirit.
“Moonlight is the best! Want more moonlight!”
“How can I eat more moonlight?”
After confirming there were no issues, Qi Ping summoned the tree spirit mark and infused all his insights from the ‘Moonlight Refining Method’ into it.
When Qi Ping brought the mark containing the ‘Moonlight Refining Method’ close to the Moonlight Tree’s spirit, a wave of immense joy radiated from it.
“Want… wonderful… it’s a spell to gather and refine moonlight!”
“Looks like the ‘Moonlight Refining Method’ is a great fit for the Moonlight Tree.”
“Now, I just have to wait and see how well the Moonlight Tree can use and perfect this spell after it learns it.”
Qi Ping believed that as the Moonlight Tree grew and continuously practiced the ‘Moonlight Refining Method’ without rest, it would eventually elevate this spell to an unimaginable level.
After finishing the spell for the Moonlight Tree, Qi Ping followed the same approach and created the ‘Starlight Refining Method.’
With the experience from creating the ‘Moonlight Refining Method,’ it only took him a little over a week to piece together the ‘Starlight Refining Method.’
“Alright, the simplest ones—the Moonlight Tree with the ‘Moonlight Refining Method’ and the Starlight Wood with the ‘Starlight Refining Method’—are basically done for now!”
These two spells would greatly speed up the condensation of moon essence and starlight essence, accelerating the growth and breakthroughs of the two spirit trees themselves.
Having successfully created two complete spells for the first time and achieved such results, Qi Ping was already very satisfied.
These two successes also boosted his confidence quite a bit.
As for the Blazing Sun Wood and the Dark Iron Tree, Qi Ping had much higher expectations for them than for the Moonlight Tree and Starlight Wood. The spells he wanted to create for those two weren’t as simple as the ‘Starlight Refining Method’—they were related to Yaya and his own bonded spiritual tool!
