Chapter 10: Spirit Gathering Technique

Yes, I have finished watching it

Rong Jiexuan said irritably: "How would I know? Hmph, I am not a Spirit Gatherer and cannot determine whether he has truly learned anything from it."

Rong Yiyao finally felt relieved, and he retreated with a forced smile. However, in his heart, he secretly complained that the elder did not speak clearly.

Having just discovered the aptitude of a spiritual summoner, one is able to summon spiritual warriors, a phenomenon he seems to have heard mentioned by others. However, those individuals were all legendary figures of great power.

"The Spirit Gatherer... Yes, Kai Xuan must certainly possess the talent of a Spirit Gatherer," Rong Yi Yao exclaimed in surprise, followed by great joy.

In the next moment, the talisman began to glow, and mysterious and incredible patterns emerged from the blank space.

Rong Jiexuan turned his head and said with a light smile, "Good child, do not be nervous. The summoning of spirit warriors is quite difficult. I merely wish to see if you have any talent in this area..." As he spoke halfway, he suddenly stopped, his eyelids twitching violently.

Rong Kaixuan carefully took it over, responded softly, and gently opened the cover of the book

Rong Kaixuan laughed heartily and said, "Kaixuan, you have finished watching."

"Spiritual power is also a form of strength on the path of cultivation. Hehe, this is a power even rarer than true energy," Rong Jiexuan said proudly. "Only those who possess spiritual power are the true strong in this world"

Suddenly, Rong Yi began to cough violently.

The scene of the Master of the Spirit Path practicing is likely one that even the clan leader would be unable to witness

He is a curse spirit master, possessing profound knowledge of the application of spiritual power

If these words were spoken by someone else, he would at most be half-convinced. However, due to his relationship with the *Tushu* clan's elder, he would never doubt it.

Because he is one of the very few dozen individuals in the family who know the true identity of the patriarch of the Jiexuan clan

However, although he harbored resentment in his heart, he did not dare to show even the slightest hint of it on his face

Rong Jiexuan laughed heartily and said, "In this world, there are many cultivators, but the paths available for selection are not limited to martial arts alone." He gently stroked his long beard and waved his hand towards the back. Instantly, a finely crafted teapot that had been placed beside a bamboo chair flew over and landed steadily in his hand.

Hehe. Rong Jiexuan chuckled softly and said, "Whether it is or not, you can just try it out." He took a delightful sip from the teapot in his hand, the steaming tea swirling in his mouth, leaving him with an endless aftertaste. After a moment, he said, "Yi Yao, go to the mourning hall and fetch the talisman book for the Gathering Spirit Technique."

Rong Jiexuan and Rong Yiyao's expressions were slightly tense, and the look in their eyes also became serious.

Rong Jiexuan shot him an annoyed glare and said, "What’s wrong with you?"

"Spiritual power? What is that?" Rong Kaixuan asked curiously

He turned and left, and a quarter of an hour later, he hurried back, holding a thin book that was only one inch thick in his hand

Rong Jiexuan smiled with satisfaction and said, "What I just used was not true energy, but spiritual power"

Rong Jiexuan pondered for a moment and said, "I have assessed your aptitude, and it is more than sufficient to become a Spell Spirit Master. However, the strength of your innate spiritual power in attracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is something I have never encountered in my lifetime." He paused briefly and continued, "In my opinion, you should possess the qualifications of a Spirit Gathering Master"

The reason for his anxiety is that he deeply understands what a Spirit Gatherer represents for the entire family

Rong Yiyao's throat moved a few times, and he thought to himself. If you can cause such great destruction without intention, how formidable would it be if you were to do so deliberately

Summoning spirits is not a simple matter; even those with the talent of a Spirit Gatherer require long-term training to succeed

Rong Yiyao wore a bitter smile on his face, lowering his voice as he said: "Uncle, he has just begun to engage with the spiritual path. No matter how high his talent is, it is impossible for him to summon a spiritual entity. Moreover, if he fails right from the start, it is likely to leave a shadow of failure in his heart, making it extremely difficult for him to overcome it in the future"

Cough cough cough

Haha. Rong Jiexuan laughed heartily and said, "You rascal, you are indeed clever. That's right, the cultivation of a spiritual practitioner is just like this, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and converting it into one's own spiritual power. Hehe, your ability to easily accomplish this step is enough to prove how formidable your aptitude is."

However, this time he did not utilize the power of the central sphere, but instead attempted to stimulate the ordinary spiritual energy that was continuously being absorbed and expelled by the sphere, which had been transformed from the external forces of heaven and earth.

Rong Yiyao quickly said: "Uncle, you are well-informed and knowledgeable, far surpassing your humble nephew. Surely you can discern something from this."

As the mind stirred slightly, the power within the center of the brow surged forth immediately

Rong Kaixuan blinked twice; he did not understand the difference between the two at all. Although he was curious in his heart, he remained indifferent. However, Rong Yiyao was different; he suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "Clan uncle, does he really have the talent for gathering spirit and being a diagram book scholar?"

He let out a bitter laugh and said, "Uncle, Kai Xuan truly possesses extraordinary talent; even a trace of his spiritual power can condense such a vast amount of the world's spiritual energy. It is truly incredible"

Rong Yiyao said softly, "Uncle, what do you think the outcome will be?"

In his eyes, a flicker of surprise and excitement danced, just as Rong Jiexuan had said. He saw something entirely new within this book of symbols, as if a great door had been opened before him, revealing a new and much broader world.

"With such remarkable talent, if this young man cannot become a Spirit Gathering Master, then it would truly be a case of heaven being blind." Rong Jiexuan said confidently, "Therefore, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that he will achieve something."

Rong Kaixuan's eyes shimmered with brilliance; although he did not yet fully understand the purpose of this spiritual power, the fact that it could excite the strong members of his family indicated that this matter would undoubtedly be of great benefit to him

Rong Kaixuan felt a stir in his heart and said, "I understand now, the cultivation of spiritual power is about transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one's own spiritual power"

Rong Yiyao was taken aback and murmured, "Clan uncle, should we let him read the talisman book of Spirit Gathering Technique now?"

"Alright, then you should give it a try," Rong Jiexuan said with a smile. "What is described in the Spirit Gathering Technique is the method of summoning spiritual entities. Among these entities, the most fundamental is the Spirit Warrior. Hehe, you should give it a try."

Rong Jiexuan nodded repeatedly and said, "Indeed, the attraction to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so strong even at the level of a spiritual master; this is the first time I have witnessed it." His gaze was piercing as he continued, "If I am not mistaken, Kaixuan is a natural spirit gatherer."

As if to validate his words, like a book, Rong Kaixuan finally opened his eyes

Rong Jiexuan glared with both eyes and said: "There are no Spirit Gathering Masters in our family. If he is not allowed to read the talisman books, how can we test whether he possesses the qualifications of a Spirit Gathering Master"

Rong Yiyao echoed with a smile: "The clan uncle is right. For us spiritual practitioners, spiritual power is divided into two types: one is the personal spiritual power that belongs to oneself, and the other is the natural spiritual power that pervades this world everywhere."

Rong Kaixuan suddenly realized, no wonder this thing is called a talisman book; it turns out that one must use spiritual power to view it

Rong Jiexuan chuckled and said, "Yi Yaoxian, how do you feel"

Rong Kaixuan looked at them in confusion, yet he was secretly puzzled in his heart about what this Spirit Gathering Master was.

Hiss ... ...

His eyes were fixed intently on the young man before him. In front of Rong Kaixuan, a humanoid spirit rapidly materialized, coalescing from nothingness into existence.

Rong Jiexuan pondered for a moment and said, "Although the spiritual energy he absorbs and transforms is quite weak, this energy possesses an exceptionally strong resonance and attraction to the external forces of nature. Hehe, such a concentrated power, not to mention a little fellow who has just discovered the existence of spiritual energy, even a master of the spiritual path would find it hard to match."

Rong Jiexuan waved his hand and said, "You don't understand anything. I don't expect him to actually summon any spirit; I just want him to attempt it. Hmph, once I've seen it, I'll know whether he has any talent."

"Kai Xuan, take a look at the book and then try to do as it describes," Rong Jie Xuan casually handed over the book.

Rong Yi secretly thought, although your words are not without merit... but that brat Rong Kaixuan has just discovered his spiritual talent, and even his spiritual power is not much accumulated compared to the *illustrated* books, allowing him to read the talismans for gathering spiritual energy... Isn't this too early

He was momentarily taken aback, for he discovered that although the book was about an inch thick, it contained only a single page. Moreover, that page was completely blank

Rong Kaixuan's eyes immediately lit up; this ability to manipulate objects from a distance truly filled him with envy

There are no obstacles, no pauses; everything unfolds as naturally as water flowing into a channel.

A light sound echoed as he unexpectedly crushed his most beloved teapot. The scalding tea flowed down from his hands, yet he seemed oblivious to it.

Rong Kaixuan awkwardly smiled and said, "Elder, Kaixuan truly does not understand."

Yet Rong Kaixuan had his eyes slightly closed, and his breathing had become a bit heavier, as if he were still immersed in those strange patterns from earlier

Rong Jiexuan pondered for a moment and said, "Kai Xuan, are you curious about what we are discussing?"

Moments later, the radiance on the talisman book gradually receded, and the magical patterns slowly disappeared, as if the entire talisman book had never undergone any change, completely returning to its original state

Seemingly sensing his confusion, Rong Yiyao said softly: "Concentrate your mind and energy, and observe with your spiritual power"

What excited him was that this current of air had no resistance to his thoughts; under his direction, it easily entered the book in his hands

Rong Yiyao never imagined that such a person would emerge from his own family

Even if Rong Yiyao has the greatest grievances, he cannot express them in front of this elder

Rong Yiyao gasped in surprise; even he had not anticipated that the clan elder would bestow such a high evaluation upon Rong Kaixuan
