Chapter 26: Upgrade

  The collection of books in the study room is comparable to that of the provincial city library back then, and the sheer volume of books is astonishing.

  Song Jie knew how difficult it was to collect so many books, thinking back when she was also a bookworm who couldn't put down good books.

  In the past, I didn't have money and wanted to read books, so I had to go to the library. Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally want to take a look and supplement my spiritual food.

  Arriving at the study room and sitting down at the desk, the light in front of the desk is extremely sufficient. It's also unknown where the sunlight comes from here, as there doesn't seem to be any sun, which is also a place that puzzles Song Jie.

  She picked up the biography written by her ancestor and started reading it. Although her ancestor was not a good writer, the stories he recorded still made people yearn for more. In front of Song Jie, it also showed her an unknown magnificent world, the more she read, the more excited she became, wishing to replace herself with the protagonist.

  Time slowly slipped away.

  After reading the travel notes in one breath, the scenes in the book are still vivid. Song Jie found that since her rebirth, her memory has been particularly good, and many things have been remembered at once, I don't know if it's because of the reason for rebirth or spiritual power.

  The benefits are still great, and after reading a book several times, you can remember it firmly, without worrying about dropping the chain at critical moments.

  With the influence of good books, Song Jie's mood became cheerful and slowly calmed down. Taking a deep breath, she placed her palms upwards and began to meditate again.

  This time, the replenishment of magic power was much faster than usual, and a large amount surged into Song Jie's body. Song Jie was momentarily flustered and couldn't keep up, but fortunately, she had a firm heart and wasn't affected in the slightest.

  She carefully guided the magical energy into her meridians, striving for perfection. The mischievous magical energy suddenly obeyed and followed Song Jie's guidance, flowing slowly and steadily, while her meridians were gradually expanded, giving a feeling of swelling.

  In this way, the magical energy circulated in the meridians round and round, becoming more and more urgent. At this time, Song Jie's mood was getting calmer and calmer, as if she had become an onlooker, watching herself making mechanical movements.

  She had already entered a state of oblivion, and Song Jie didn't know the difficulty of reaching this state because she hadn't received systematic guidance. At this time, even a slight movement could wake her up, and all of a sudden, "bang" - Song Jie woke up from her deep meditation.

  She had an epiphany and hastily observed the state of her meridians at this moment. One look, wow! She finally reached the first layer mentioned in the "Magic Bible".

  "The Magic Bible" is divided into nine levels, each level more difficult to practice than the last. At this moment, she finally broke through the first level, and her hard work over the past few days was not in vain.

  Song Jie was extremely happy, but she didn't dare to relax. Although she had reached the first level, if she didn't work hard to consolidate it, there was still a risk of falling back down. She remembered every word in the Bible clearly, but she didn't dare to be careless.

  After a period of consolidation, the first layer finally stabilized. Song Jie's suppressed joy was finally released, and she jumped up high, spinning around in circles several times on the spot. The joyful mood couldn't be shared with anyone, which was really too bad, a flaw in an otherwise perfect situation.

  Reached the first floor, some small spells can be cast. Among them is the pitfall technique that Song Jie has been drooling over for a long time. She had always wanted to dig a fish pond in space but never had the chance to do so, finally achieving her wish.

  。

  She's also a bit of an impatient person, so she needs to practice. Anyway, there's still plenty of time, might as well keep practicing for a while and try to dig out a pond today, it won't be in vain after all the days she's been thinking about it.

  Although she remembered it clearly, Song Jie still re-read all the relevant information about this spell before stopping.

  Confirmed without error, she began to walk along the meridian route according to the book and started reciting incantations: "Earth Sink".

  Everything seems fine, why isn't there any reaction at all? Song Jie was somewhat perplexed.

  It's also because she was too anxious, how could it be successful at once? Song Jie thought about it afterwards and realized that she had been impatient, knowing that without hard work, there would be no gain, wasn't this a principle she had always followed? She got anxious and forgot, which shouldn't have happened.

  Then she started practicing over and over again, not feeling bored at all. Finally, from a small puddle of water to a hole as big as a washbasin, she was able to dig a hole that size.

  Song Jie also wiped away a cold sweat from her forehead. She thought she had made a mistake since there was no response, so she flipped through the book again.

  But fortunately it was successful, and she also let out a sigh of relief.

  The power of the first layer's technique was not strong, and it could only dig a hole like this. At this point, her earth sinking technique could be considered successful, lacking only in proficiency.

  Song Jie walked to the place where she first planned, and began to continuously cast her not-so-skilled earth trap technique. From awkwardness to proficiency, through unremitting efforts, she finally mastered the first spell she had learned in her life.

  However, the progress of the pond was not very smooth, and the holes dug were uneven. This is a matter of accuracy, Song Jie took a deep breath, it seems that she still needs more practice.

  After a great deal of effort, she finally dug a hole that was neither big nor small, and Song Jie herself felt somewhat pitiful.

  The pond is just next to the small river, and as long as a ditch is dug, the water of the small river can be diverted into the newly dug pond. Song Jie carefully opened a ditch, and sure enough, the water flowed down smoothly, filling the pond in no time.

  Looking at this pond, Song Jie still has some sense of accomplishment. She thinks that after practicing the earth escape technique, she should expand this pond, at least not to make it look like a dog's nest.

  She shook off the dirt from her hands, Song Jie exited the space and took a look at the time, it was just past nine. Comparing the two, she felt a kind of disorientation in time and space. Song Jie thought that since there was still plenty of time, she might as well learn another spell.

  Arriving at the space, she carefully selected one and looked at her dirty clothes. Song Jie decided to learn a dust removal technique after all. This was the most practical spell, she knew the principle of being greedy would not work, so it was better to learn something that she could handle.

  With a loud shout of "Chu Chen", the magic spell that had been practiced many times was finally released, and like a child who had just received a new toy, Song Jie began to cast the Dust Removal Spell everywhere.

  Her own clothes, the size of the room, even the unobtrusive corners of the house outside the space, all have traces left by Song Jie. She is like a solitary guardian of a treasure that others do not know, secretly savoring it alone with relish.

  After finishing, Song Jie wandered around the house to see if she had left any obvious traces. One can't underestimate other people's intelligence, nowadays everyone is very clever and can't leave behind any clues.

  Just as she finished, the sound of opening the door came from the entrance. Song Jie was surprised that they had returned before noon. Then she realized that it must be because they were worried about leaving her alone at home.
