If he couldn't find a way to learn from his teacher, then Xu Taiping could only learn spells through other methods. According to his understanding, besides being taught by his teacher, there was another way to learn spells, and that was to learn the Seal Stone!

Magic Stones were usually made by people with great abilities. Just like the name implied, these people with great abilities would brand their Magic Stones completely onto a piece of Spirit Stone. Once the Spirit Stone was activated, you would be able to see the entire process of the seal formation.

Xu Taiping had asked around before, but there were quite a lot of Law Stones in this world. They were also sold on the market, but they were extremely expensive.

In other words, in order to learn a spell, you have to look at at at least five hundred times. If you don't look for a teacher to learn it, you have to prepare at least a hundred magic imprints for the spell on the stone, which is also because your talent is quite good, if you lack the aptitude, you may need to prepare a hundred and fifty magic imprints, or even two hundred stone imprints to master a complete magic imprint. The result of that is that once a spell is learned on the market, the price of the magic imprints will be very high.

For example, a mid-grade magic imprint stone usually required five thousand Spirit Stones to purchase.

Simply put, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could only earn around five thousand Spirit Stones a year. In other words, in order to buy a Technique Seal Stone, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would need to save up to one year's worth of Spirit Stones.

Xu Taiping's pockets were empty. Other than a little bit of RMB, he did not have any other spirit stones. Furthermore, RMB was something that could only be used in the ordinary world of cultivation and not in the real world of cultivation.

Therefore, to Xu Taiping, buying a Seal Stone was a little impractical.

Since these two methods were impractical, then Xu Taiping had one last method.

This method was very simple. It was to watch TV!

You didn't see wrong, you just watched TV!

There were often some competitions between cultivators on TV. Xu Taiping felt that with his memory, he might be able to learn it with just a glance.

This thought had already appeared in Xu Taiping's mind when he had his Octane Bow activated today. At first, Xu Taiping was very excited, because this meant that as long as he was given a TV, he would be able to master almost all of the spells. However, after a short period of excitement, Xu Taiping thought of a problem.

If one could really use television to master magic, then the existence of the Seal Stone was meaningless. Why did everyone buy a Seal Stone? If the image on the television continued to play, wouldn't they be able to master it sooner or later? As for what it was, Xu Taiping did not know yet. Of course, it was possible that he did not have this barrier, as this was a world where cultivators combined with the real world, and in the orthodox cultivation world, there should not be such a thing as television, so there was no need to look at television and secretly learn magic. If one could watch television in this world to learn magic, then it should be a bug of the Dragon Lake Secret Realm.

Xu Taiping sat in front of his computer. After a moment of thought, he turned on You Cool.

Youku had two big channels, one for cultivation and one for normal.

Xu Taiping directly entered the cultivation channel.

Entering the channel, many cultivators' videos appeared in front of Xu Taiping. Many of them were videos of cultivators fighting magic!

Not long after, Xu Taiping recorded a spell from one of the videos. Afterwards, he tried to form the seal, but he failed.

Xu Taiping frowned and wrote down a few seals. He tried a few more times, only to discover that even though he had memorized every single movement, he was still unable to cast the appropriate spell!

Why is that?

"Are you watching a video?" Xia Jinxuan's voice came from the side.

"Yeah, that's right." Xu Taiping nodded, then said, "I have a question."

"What problem?"

"These people are doing magic on TV. If the process of them forming the seal is recorded, then is it possible for us to use the video to learn their hand seals?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Why do you think that? This is obviously not feasible, because everything that you have seen has already been covered up by the heavens. The seal that you have seen is not complete, so naturally you will not be able to learn it. Xia Jinxuan asked in surprise.

"So that's how it is!" Xu Taiping was suddenly enlightened. Sure enough, there were no bugs in this world. It was impossible for him to learn any spells from watching TV.

Also, not only the TV, it's the same in real life. No matter how good your eyesight is, how good your memory is, if you cast a spell when you're alone in front of you, it's impossible for you to learn his spell just by watching him form the seal. You have to be taught by him in order to learn it, otherwise, the process of him forming the seal is not complete. Xia Jinxuan explained.

"Understood!" Xu Taiping nodded. This should be the rule of this world.

"Do you want to learn other spells?" You are now at the Psionic Mortal Realm, and the Lightning Blast and Eight Extreme Barrier are too simple for you. If you really want to learn other spells, you can go to the elective class, where the teachers will teach you some other techniques. " Xia Jinxuan said.

"Elective course?!" Xu Taiping's eyes lit up as he asked, "There's even an elective class?"

Of course there are, normally in class, teacher will pass on some of the spells that the academy has set down to learn, and other than these, you will have to participate in the elective class to learn other spells. I have already chosen a few of the spells that I want to learn, all of them are low level spells. Xia Jinxuan said with a smile.

"No, you're not even at the Psionic Mortal Realm, and you can still choose to learn high rank mid-rank spells?!" Xu Taiping asked in shock.

Of course, I can, but I can definitely not learn it now, but I can remember it in advance, so when I can release high-level spells, I might have learned 50% of this spell already, at that time I will only need 50% of the spell's power to learn. Cultivating is a process of accumulation, and from the Foundation Establishment onwards, we will have to determine the spells we need to learn in the future, in order to be able to shorten the time we need to learn this spell. Xia Jinxuan explained.

"Hahaha, there's actually something like this, it seems like I was overthinking it, thank you very much, Jin Xuan!" Xu Taiping excitedly hugged Xia Jinxuan and gave her a big kiss on the cheek.

"You, what are you doing!" Xia Jinxuan excitedly pushed Xu Taiping away.

"It's nothing. I'll apply for the elective class now!" After Xu Taiping finished speaking, he rushed out of the library without caring about Xia Jinxuan's angry face.

"Hateful bastard!" Xia Jinxuan angrily looked at Xu Taiping, who had already run far away. She angrily stomped her feet, and two blush spots appeared on her face.

Xu Taiping asked around and soon got an elective course schedule.

In this elective class, not only was there the study of spells, there were also other courses, such as refining pills or refining weapons.

Xu Taiping had no interest in refining pills. He only had one interest, and that was magic.

Xu Taiping looked through the class schedule carefully, and finally found the four advanced magic lessons he was interested in.

The four high-grade spells were Golden Body, Thunderstorm, Death Lightning, and Teleportation.

Golden Body, as the name implies, is a high-grade defensive spell. It is said that once you learn Golden Body, even if it explodes, it won't be enough to kill you.

Amongst all the spells, the thunder attribute attack power and destructive power was the strongest. It was said that the thunder cloud storm could use heavenly thunder to destroy a target. Generally speaking, a single thundercloud storm could destroy a town in China.

Different from thunderstorms, the Lightning of Death focused all of its power on one bolt of lightning. None of the cultivators below the Fusion Stage were able to block the Lightning of Death, so they would definitely be instantly killed. Of course, if these cultivators had defensive magic treasures of Earth Stage or above, then they could barely hold on for a few more seconds.

It was said that teleportation was a life saving skill that every cultivator at least had to learn. The higher the cultivation level, the further the teleportation distance. For example, teleportation could allow one to teleport up to a distance of several hundred kilometers, unless one encountered some space-blocking magic formation. Otherwise, once one mastered teleportation, one would not be in any life-threatening danger when facing cultivators at the same level.

The four high-grade magic techniques began their classes on the first, third, and fifth day of the week. Xu Taiping carefully recorded down the time and the place of the classes before returning to the library.

To Xu Taiping, the library was his refuge and also his place to learn about the cultivation world.

When Xu Taiping returned to the library, Xia Jinxuan was still sitting in a corner, studying Ling Ji's cultivation manual.

Xu Taiping didn't bother Xia Jinxuan. He also picked up a few books and sat down next to Xia Jinxuan, reading them together with her.
