Chapter 37: Advanced Spell
"Alright, it’s settled. From now on, you are my fiancé, Yin Linglong. When we return to the Yin family, after we pay respects to our ancestors and go through the proper ceremonies, you will be my true husband and a member of the Yin family."
Yin Linglong said decisively, then took out a small black ring from her waist, her expression serious as she continued:
"Extend your hand. This is the Yin family token. As long as you wear it, no one can deny that you are a member of the Yin family." Saying this, she bit her finger lightly, letting a drop of blood fall from her fair fingertip, which quickly disappeared into the black ring.
The ring buzzed and instantly grew larger.
Wang Yu, surprised, extended his palm, and the woman took hold of one of his fingers and skillfully slipped the ring on.
The originally large black ring, as soon as it was placed on the finger, flashed with black light and surprisingly shrank a bit, becoming the perfect size.
"Is this a magical item?" Wang Yu said, feeling a bit moved.
"This is a family heirloom of the Yin family. It’s not a proper magical item, but only a person with the pure blood of our Yin family can truly control it. It can help find people and identify them, making it quite useful. Please do not lose it," Yin Linglong advised.
"It seems that losing this thing wouldn’t be easy," Wang Yu tried to take the ring off again, but the black ring wouldn’t budge, making him smile wryly.
"Taking it off is easy. Aside from the pure blood of our Yin family, a cultivator above Foundation Establishment could simply chop off the finger to remove it," the beautiful woman glanced at Wang Yu and said with a sweet smile.
With that smile, she appeared charming and radiant, adding even more beauty to her.
Wang Yu was instantly mesmerized, staring intently at the woman’s nearly perfect face, unable to look away for even a moment.
"Hey, what are you staring at? If you keep looking, I might just poke your eyes out," Yin Linglong said, feeling a blush rise on her ivory-like face, though her words were fierce, her tone was shy.
"Who told you to smile so beautifully? Besides, I’m your fiancé now. What’s wrong with looking at you a little more?" Wang Yu replied nonchalantly, still reluctant to tear his gaze away from her face.
"You look quite young, why are you so reckless? By the way, what is your name, how old are you, and where do you come from? I am twenty-one this year, at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Lady Yin is actually my grandmother; she suddenly passed away five years ago. I disguised myself as her to continue working as a secret guard in the Treasure Pavilion for the sake of spirit stones." Yin Linglong’s face turned slightly red, but she quickly changed the topic and naturally asked Wang Yu.
"My full name is Wang Yu, I am thirteen, no, I should be fourteen now. As for my background, I’m from Yellow Stone City, and I unintentionally became a student of a rogue cultivator, which is how I learned about cultivators." Wang Yu touched his face, thinking as he replied.
"What? No way, you are so young!" This time, it was the beautiful woman who was taken aback, seeming to not believe it at all.
"After my bloodline partially awakened, both my body and mind grew faster than others my age. You can see me as eighteen or nineteen years old, and that’s not wrong. But if you want to cancel the engagement now, it’s too late; I won’t agree." Wang Yu said seriously, with a stern expression.
Yin Linglong looked at Wang Yu, speechless for a while, but the next moment, she suddenly raised a delicate hand and pinched Wang Yu’s cheek quickly, playfully smiling with twinkling eyes:
"A little husband is also nice, but you must listen to your big sister from now on, okay?"
This time, it was Wang Yu’s turn to twitch at the corners of his mouth.
This fiancée looked like a fairy on the outside, but it seemed she was not easy to deal with on the inside.
It was hard to tell if she truly believed him or was just pretending to believe.
"By the way, Linglong, how did you pretend to be your grandmother? I can’t see any flaws at all. How did you faint before?" Wang Yu hurriedly replied with a question.
The beautiful woman raised her delicate eyebrows when she heard Wang Yu’s affectionate title. She seemed a bit unaccustomed but quickly returned to her usual expression and replied:
"That’s the Illusionary Grand Method, a mystical technique that completely changes a person’s appearance using magic and medicine."
"This technique requires being at the late stage of Qi Refining to use, but it can only be used on others and not on oneself. Although it can last a long time, it can only be applied once in a lifetime. Once the magic is broken, it cannot be used again."
"I was struck by Yu Bintian’s magic-breaking item, which caused the Illusionary Grand Method to go out of control, and the magic rebounded suddenly, making me faint, but after I woke up, I was fine."
"I see. Wow, this Illusionary Grand Method sounds very powerful. Does the Yin family have many of these mystical techniques?" Wang Yu said with admiration in his voice.
"Although the Illusionary Grand Method is useful, it’s just a low-level spell. We cultivators need to focus on learning one or two powerful Advanced Spells instead of wasting time on things like this. Having a useful entry-level magical item for protection is important. Either one alone is enough to easily defeat other cultivators at the same level, even allowing us to fight across levels. For example, the Four Evils of Lan Mountain is a clear case." Yin Linglong replied, shaking her head.
"The Qiankunzi’s bag is indeed amazing, and Taoist Luoyue’s Setting Moon Sword seems strong too. But is an Advanced Spell really that useful?" Wang Yu wondered, recalling the battle not long ago.
It seemed that neither the gnome nor Taoist Luoyue had used any powerful spells.
"Qiankunzi and Taoist Luoyue have similar skills, but the Blood Sorceress’s blood disappearance and Crazy Aunt’s plague control are both Advanced Spells that make rogue cultivators very scared. If you don’t have the right countermeasures, encountering them usually means waiting to die," Yin Linglong explained patiently.
"I wonder at what level of Qi Refining one can learn Advanced Spells." Wang Yu thought of the green-clad girl who appeared and disappeared mysteriously, nodding repeatedly, feeling quite excited.
"You don’t need to rush. Theoretically, you can cast Advanced Spells in the middle stage of the Qi Refining Stage, but to truly master them and use them in practice, it’s better to wait until the late stage of Qi Refining. Otherwise, it’s easy to drain all your energy with one spell," Yin Linglong said.
"Most importantly, Advanced Spells cannot be learned by just anyone. It also depends on your Spiritual Root and how well it matches your main cultivation method. Otherwise, not only will it take a lot of effort with little reward, but the power will also be greatly reduced, making it not worth it," the woman simply educated her fiancé.
"I see, but I wonder what kind of Spiritual Root you have, Linglong? I only know there are many types of Spiritual Roots, but most belong to the five elements. Can you also tell me what to pay attention to when condensing a Spiritual Root?" Wang Yu asked eagerly, energized by this ‘fiancée.’
