[You diligently study the Fireball Technique, attempting to reach the entry level, triggering a tenfold critical strike, gaining tenfold rewards, and your understanding of the Fireball Technique has slightly improved.]
Qi Chuan carefully read through the Fireball Technique recorded within the Evergreen Technique, comprehending the meaning of each word and pondering the principles within.
As expected, at the end, a line of text appeared before his eyes as he predicted.
Then, a stream of information surged into his mind.
It was a part of the comprehension of the Fireball Technique.
After absorbing it, Qi Chuan could clearly feel that he had gained some new insights into the Fireball Technique.
However, practicing magic is not that easy.
Even though the Fireball Technique is among the ordinary ones in the Basic Five Elements Magic, to fully grasp it still requires quite an effort.
Thus, after completely absorbing the comprehension of the Fireball Technique, Qi Chuan felt that he had not yet reached the point where he could cast it.
Immediately, he earnestly read it once more, attempting to comprehend the Fireball Technique.
[You diligently study the Fireball Technique, attempting to reach the entry level, triggering a twofold critical strike, gaining twofold rewards, and your understanding of the Fireball Technique has slightly improved.]
[You diligently study the Fireball Technique, attempting to reach the entry level, triggering a fivefold critical strike, gaining fivefold rewards, and your understanding of the Fireball Technique has slightly improved.]
Through Qi Chuan's efforts, his comprehension of the Fireball Technique was rapidly improving.
Presumably, it wouldn't be long before he could successfully cast the Fireball Technique.
Three days later.
[You diligently study the Fireball Technique, attempting to reach the entry level, triggering a fiftyfold critical strike, gaining fiftyfold rewards, your understanding of the Fireball Technique increased significantly, and you have successfully reached the entry level of the Fireball Technique.]
Some fine blood streaks emerged within Qi Chuan's eyes.
During these three days, apart from setting aside some time daily to cultivate the Evergreen Technique and improve his cultivation, he devoted almost all of his spare time to the Fireball Technique.
Effort is not in vain for a dedicated person.
With the appearance of the text before his eyes, a large amount of comprehension of the Fireball Technique surged into Qi Chuan's mind once again.
Coupled with previous accumulations, it was like completing a full circle, in an instant, Qi Chuan involuntarily formed a seal, muttering to himself.
Within his lower abdomen, a stream of mana drawn from the Dantian followed specific meridians, flowing toward the seal formation in his hands.
A faint glimmer of light appeared, vaguely forming a specific spherical shape, as if emitting a searing temperature from within.
In the next moment, as the mantra ceased, he raised his hand abruptly.
Whoosh!
Immediately, in his palm, with a "puff" sound, a burst of firelight ignited, instantly illuminating the dim room initially lit only by a faint candle glow.
Waves of scorching heat emanated from the blaze, burning the air, causing the void above to reveal slightly distorted marks.
Though this heat spread, it did not harm Qi Chuan himself, only imparting a sense of warmth.
"This is the Fireball Technique!"
Qi Chuan observed the firelight in his palm with a gleam in his eyes.
This was the first time he successfully cast a magic spell after having mana, a means that, to mortals, could be considered a divine technique.
This flame formed by mana is different from ordinary fire, with extremely high temperatures, a single fireball unleashed would instantly turn touched mortal materials to ashes, evaporated on the spot.
Now, Qi Chuan could be considered to truly possess the realm and means of an Immortal Master.
"But why is the fireball created by the Fireball Technique so small now?"
Qi Chuan observed the fireball in his palm, noticing it was red all over, with dark flames entwined, flickering and wavering.
Yet this fireball was only the size of a red date.
And it seemed not particularly stable.
Currently, Qi Chuan concentrated on controlling the fireball, managing to maintain it, but any slight relaxation would cause it to flicker and potentially dissipate.
Moreover, the mana consumption can't be ignored, Qi Chuan could feel his mana gradually weakening.
Thus, Qi Chuan withdrew the mana supply, instantly causing the date-sized red fireball in his palm to dissipate.
But at this moment, a line of text reappeared before Qi Chuan's eyes.
[You successfully cast the Fireball Technique once and maintained it for a period, triggering a threefold critical strike, gaining threefold rewards, and your proficiency in the Fireball Technique has slightly improved.]
Subsequently, his mind was filled with more experiential techniques regarding seal formation, incantation chanting, mana channeling, and fireball construction of the Fireball Technique.
It was as though he had cast the Fireball Technique three times, naturally making his mastery of it more proficient.
"So, casting the Fireball Technique can also increase its proficiency."
Qi Chuan felt extremely pleased.
In this way, all he needed to do was continuously cast the Fireball Technique and maintain it for a longer time, utilizing the Hundredfold Critical Strike to rapidly enhance his proficiency in the Fireball Technique.
According to the cultivation manual, these basic Five Elements Magic and many common spells used in the Qi Refining Realm have proficiency levels divided into entry, minor success, great success, and perfection.
Currently, his Fireball Technique is at the entry level.
Normally cultivating it to the minor success level could take an unknown length of time.
After all, in the Qi Refining Realm, especially the early stage, there's not much mana available to cast spells; it's feared that after only a few casts, one's mana would be exhausted.
Moreover, low-level cultivators still need to take time for cultivation, improving cultivation, and undertaking various tasks to obtain resources for cultivation.
Therefore, in the Early and Middle Stages of Qi Refining, most cultivators' spells are likely between entry and minor success.
Having a spell at the minor success level should serve as a reliable support.
If one can master multiple spells at the minor success level, even without any good magical artifacts or talismans, they are definitely not weak.
And now, due to the Hundredfold Critical Strike, Qi Chuan could gain multiple or even hundredfold proficiency with less time and mana, presumably speeding up spell improvement greatly.
"But currently, the minor success realm is still far off; let's first reach the entry level in the other four spells."
Qi Chuan's gaze fell once again on the remaining four basic Five Elements Magic.
[You diligently study the Water Arrow Technique, attempting to reach the entry level, triggering a thirteenfold critical strike, gaining thirteenfold rewards, and your understanding of the Water Arrow Technique has slightly improved.]
Soon, a line of text appeared once again within Qi Chuan's sight.
In his mind, a new stream of information surfaced.
It was a partial understanding of the Water Arrow Technique.
