309: Fireball Secret Manual_1
Does Black Mountain Stronghold really have a hidden mastermind behind it?
In the following days, whenever Mo Hua had time, he would ponder over this question, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t come up with any leads. Even if he tried to investigate, he lacked clues and didn’t know where to start.
All Mo Hua could do was to focus on his own matters, strengthen his Divine Sense, master more Formations, and learn new things.
Just in case something unexpected happened in the future, he wanted to be prepared and confident in his actions.
As for Formations, Mo Hua practiced the Reversed Spirit Formation daily without fail.
Besides that, what else could he learn?
Mo Hua thought about it and suddenly remembered that he still had a secret manual for the Fireball Technique.
This secret manual was obtained from the hands of the pale-faced evil cultivator who was on night watch at Black Mountain Stronghold.
The pale-faced evil cultivator practiced Evil Skills that absorbed spiritual essence, and his Spells were actually quite ordinary, relying solely on this secret manual to make his Fireball Technique significantly powerful.
Mo Hua’s strategy of pitting one against another had led to the death of the pale-faced man, and afterwards, he picked up the spoils, obtaining this secret manual for the Fireball Technique.
It was just that later on, Mo Hua had so many things to handle that he temporarily forgot about it.
Mo Hua leaned over his small desk, took out his Storage Bag, and found the secret manual for the Fireball Technique.
The manual was titled “Understanding of Fireball Technique,” written by hand, with rough edges and many creased traces.
It seemed not to be an orthodox Spell legacy but rather the personal cultivation insights of a Cultivator.
Mo Hua opened the pages and skimmed through them, quickly grasping the general idea.
The “Understanding of Fireball Technique” was not originally that of the pale-faced man. It was probably also obtained by killing and robbing others.
The original owner of the manual was a Cultivator with the surname Yang, just an ordinary Spiritual Cultivator.
His talent wasn’t high, his Spiritual Root was poor, and the Cultivation Technique he practiced was naturally not great either, so the only Spell he could learn was this Fireball Technique.
But he didn’t become discouraged and kept practicing and researching relentlessly. He even sought advice and discussed with various Cultivators skilled in the Fireball Technique. After spending most of his life, he finally figured out a special spell point for using the Fireball Technique.
This spell point could enhance the power of the Fireball Technique, making this commonplace, unimpressive Spell, which was looked down upon by most Cultivators, quite lethal.
The mystery of the spell point lay in the pathways of circulating Qi.
All Spells, ultimately, rely on the Divine Sense to drive the Spiritual Power within the Qi Sea, moving it through specific pathways and then condensing into different Spells.
Even for the same Spell, with identical effects, the inherited diagrams of pathways always have variations.
Some differ in the main meridians, while others have slight deviations in the minor collaterals.
The original owner of the manual spent countless hours and effort collecting various Fireball Technique diagrams. Eventually, he categorized and compared them one by one, and subsequently drew his own conclusions, forming the most complex yet most powerful Fireball Technique pathway diagram.
Additionally, he recorded all his insights and experiences regarding the use of the Fireball Technique within this diagram.
But for some unknown reason, this manual of insights ended up in the hands of the white-faced evil cultivator.
Mo Hua read the manual in one go and couldn’t help but feel moved.
This thin volume of insights… how much effort must have been put in to write it…
The Cultivator who wrote these insights, his perseverance, meticulous thoughts, and focused dedication made Mo Hua feel somewhat ashamed.
Mo Hua couldn’t help but think that there must be many Cultivators in this world with similar perseverance and talent.
Yet, confined by their own origins, Spiritual Roots, and legacies, they could only waste or bury their talents.
Mo Hua felt it was a great pity.
The original owner of this manual should have also been a person of outstanding brilliance. However, his name was now unknown to history; even his death had gone unnoticed.
Only a simple sentence was written at the end of the insights:
“The Way has no size, Spells have no strength or weakness, even a tiny spark can start a great blaze.”
Mo Hua’s spirits were lifted after reading it.
This manual of insights, when in the hands of the white-faced evil cultivator, was indeed a pearl cast before swine, a terrible waste of its potential.
Mo Hua made a silent vow to study the Fireball Technique thoroughly and to master it to the extreme.
In the future, he would let all Cultivators in the Cultivation World know the might of the Fireball Technique!
Mo Hua began to learn the more powerful version of the Fireball Technique, according to the pathway diagram in the insights.
The pathway diagram for this Fireball Technique was very complex, and Mo Hua originally thought it would be difficult to learn.
However, he managed to learn it in just half a day…
This time was much less than he had anticipated.
Moreover, the Fireball Technique he produced was strange; its color was deeper, showing a dark red hue, and the fireball itself was noticeably smaller in size.
It looked somewhat odd…
For a moment, Mo Hua didn’t know if he had truly learned it or not, or if he had learned it incorrectly…
As for its power, Mo Hua didn’t dare to try.
He feared something might go wrong, and besides, his home was not the place to test Spells.
