Chapter 134: A Learning Problem
Yun Jiao didn’t notice Bai Yu’s sudden excitement. After thinking for a moment, she answered honestly, “For example, in The Heart of the Mystic Art, there’s the Thunder Chapter, right? Inside it, there’s a spell called the Summoning Thunder Technique. But right now, I can’t accurately call forth the kind of heavenly thunder I want.”
“Oh, it’s the Summoning Thunder Technique? That one’s simple!” The old man’s grin grew wider, almost smug. Of all the chapters, he was most familiar with the Thunder Chapter—mainly because he still had psychological trauma from the last time he took the registration exam. Since thunder was the greatest nemesis of evil spirits, he had practiced it countless times afterward and was now quite proficient. Not to boast, but even compared to the Eight Flower Elders of the Celestial Master Hall, his thunder technique wasn’t necessarily inferior.
“Ahem!” He coughed lightly, suppressing the rising pride in his chest. Stroking his beard, he put on a “benevolent elder” face and explained seriously, “The Summoning Thunder Technique is merely the foundation of the Thunder Chapter. It’s not difficult, and it doesn’t consume much internal spiritual energy. The key lies in communicating with the surrounding thunder spirits—using incantations to guide and summon them. The heavenly thunder will naturally respond!”
Yun Jiao frowned slightly, as if something was bothering her. “That makes sense in theory, but every time I try… something feels wrong.”
She stopped mid-sentence, frowning harder, then sighed. “Forget it. I’ll just go ask Ancestor Master.”
“Ah—don’t!” The old man quickly stopped her. “No need to bother the Ancestor Master with something this small!”
“But—”
“Trust me!” he said, patting his chest proudly. “Leave it to me. I’ll teach you the Summoning Thunder Technique myself.”
Without waiting for her to respond, he grabbed her by the arm and started pulling her toward the courtyard. “Come on, I’ll teach you right now!”
