Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 361 It’s you, ancient king!

Xu Shen didn't care about Jiang Fox's mentality.

There is nothing that can't be solved by just mixing things up.

They are all his wings, once they are attached you have to fly for me!

In this battle, the two losers still lost their weapons and armor.

But Tingting gritted her teeth and persisted for more than three times longer than usual, which was a big improvement.

Xu Shen roughly estimated that even if his physique after the transformation could not catch up with the most outstanding general-level demons, it would at least not be much worse, and might even be slightly stronger than the high-level magicians who had refined soul-level elemental species.

"I want snake gall, too!"

The full fox Jiang lay on Xu Shen's lower abdomen, her voice soft and tender, and the charm in her bones increased instead of diminishing.

She didn't do it to improve her physical fitness.

This beauty effect is really enviable.

Xu Shen lay in Tingting's arms, squinting his eyes in satisfaction: "It all depends on your performance."

Jiang Fox glared at Xu Shen with a look of anger and resentment, then slowly lowered her head.

Xu Shen shuddered all over.

Xuxu, that's not what I meant...

hiss!
That's what I mean!!!
……

During lunch, Nan Jue told a strange story. She said that when she was patrolling the mountain in the morning, she saw it raining outside.

Jiang Yu immediately retorted that it was impossible, as it always snowed but never rained in the southernmost part of the country.

This straight man was very serious and insisted that Nan Jue must have seen it wrong. He refused to believe her even though she was very sure about it.

Xu Shen was amused when he first heard the conversation between the two, but he soon remembered something and calmly released the fairy, letting it hide in his sleeve.

"Whether it is raining or not, you can go out and take a look and you will know. Why are you arguing?"

Nan Jue shook her head and said, “It only rained for a short while this morning. This is very abnormal, so it shouldn’t rain again.”

"What if? It's only a few steps away, let's go out and take a look."

Young Master Zhao was a man who couldn't sit still, so he immediately stood up and wolfed down the half-eaten roasted snake meat.

He climbed out of the vent with Jiang Yu and Guan Yu who were joining in the fun.

Soon, the scene in front of him made Jiang Yu dumbfounded: "It's really raining."

Guan Yu exhaled a breath, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and the hailstones falling on his palms made his palms numb.

"If it weren't for this horrible weather, I'm sure it would have been rain."

"The cold icy rain is hitting your faces randomly~"

Young Master Zhao, who was hiding in the back, smiled and said, "Dr. Jiang, there is finally something you don't know."

Jiang Yu was silent and thoughtful.

This scene really challenged his three views.

After the three of them returned, Jiang Yu sincerely apologized to Nan Jue.

Nan Jue was a generous person, so she didn't join the others in making fun of him.

"Why is it raining all of a sudden in this peaceful place in the Antarctic Ice Realm?"

After lunch, Jiang Yu still looked puzzled.

"Yeah, why did it suddenly rain?"

Xu Shen echoed and quietly glanced at the fairy who was chasing after Apas in the contract space.

The dragon egg that was fused before the little guy was born absorbed Wu Ku's innate soul seed.

Now it seems that it has inherited this talent of the victims.

Since ancient times, victims have had a miserable fate.

I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Xu Shen sighed softly.

I already have Yumian, so one more won’t be a problem. After all, I won’t be afraid of the itch if I have too many lice.

After returning to the room, Xu Shen experimented with the ancient cultivation method on Jiang Shaoxu to verify whether his guess was correct.

The result was that even if he tried to do it himself, the woman still couldn't find the so-called "qi feeling" after tossing her around for an entire afternoon.

The next day, Xu Shen went to find Ai Jiangtu again.

This guy is also naturally gifted. The spiritual power required for him to release magic such as dimension and curse with the same power as ordinary people is one level lower than that of ordinary people.

This kind of talent may sound ordinary, but it is actually not simple at all.

Don’t think that improving Ding Yumian and Xu Shen’s spiritual power level is as easy as eating and drinking.

In fact, it is extremely difficult for most people to improve their spiritual power.

Apart from the tedious and time-consuming methods of meditation and mind control, it is almost impossible to improve the realm of mental power by other means. Most mages can only reach the third realm in their entire lives.

Even for someone like Mo Fan who has a soul-cultivating instrument, his current spiritual power realm is at most the third realm.

That is to say, Ding Yumian is gifted and Xu Shen is extremely lucky. They obtained treasures such as Linglong Ball, Lifan Flower, Tianshan Snow Lotus and Nian Stone that ordinary people could not obtain in their lifetime. This made their spiritual power cultivation far ahead of their peers.

As one of the few people in the team with natural talent, Ai Jiangtu is very suitable to be a control group experimental subject.

Although he was skeptical about Xu Shen's intentions, he still had some basic trust in him because he had been with his sister for so many days.

Like Mo Fan, he quickly gained a sense of Qi, and under Xu Shen's guidance, he completed a cycle of Qi in less than two hours.

"What a magical technique!"

Ai Jiangtu was moved.

Only after practicing it yourself can you realize how powerful this technique is.

He began to understand where Xu Shen's body, which was so abnormal and not like a human's, came from.

"Okay, this Qi Refining Method will be considered as a gift. Just pack up and send your sister over later."

Ai Jiangtu's face darkened instantly.

"Hey, why are you like this to your brother-in-law? Believe it or not, I'll take a picture and send it to your sister."

Ai Jiangtu's mouth twitched slightly.

This guy looks like he really deserves a beating.

If he could beat him, he would really let this guy experience the style of his brother-in-law.

It was also his sister's fault for not being ambitious enough. She looked so eager to take advantage of him. If Xu Shen had not been reserved enough, she would have been taken advantage of long ago.

Thinking of this, Ai Jiangtu didn't know what to say. He could only sigh and silently refill the cup of tea.

"Why are you in such a hurry to chase me away?" Xu Shen said with a smile, and his tone became more serious. "Although this ancient Qi-refining method is ingenious, there are many pitfalls. If you are not careful, you will go wrong. If you encounter doubts, don't figure it out on your own. If you have any questions, come and ask me. Don't let yourself die from practicing one day, or your parents will come to your house to beat you up."

Ai Jiangtu's face darkened as he squeezed out three words in a stiff tone: "Got it."

"Okay, let's go, bye~"

Returning to his room, Xu Shen flipped through the "Gui Zang" he had obtained from Sha Yuan, lost in thought.

He had long wondered why the Ancient King gave up the ancient cultivation method and instead fully supported the Star Child cultivation system which was only in its infancy at the time.

He once thought that the main reason was that he chose to castrate himself in order to maintain the so-called fragile and tacit balance between humans and demons.

However, considering the ancient king's domineering personality, it doesn't seem to make sense.

Later, after he practiced on his own, he discovered the various shortcomings of the ancient practice methods.

Not only is it extremely difficult to get started, but once something goes wrong during practice, one may become paralyzed or even die. It is difficult to achieve success in practice without oral instruction between a master and his disciples.

These shortcomings have greatly limited the spread of the ancient practice method, but these shortcomings alone do not seem to be enough to make the ancient king go to extremes and completely abolish this practice method.

Now it seems that he really understands why the ancient king abolished the ancient Qi-refining method.

As the saying goes, moving people's interests is like killing their parents.

Cultivation will enable one to become a “superior person” who is superior to others.

People who have achieved success in cultivation can move mountains and seas and have boundless supernatural powers. They are no longer even considered human beings. Such people have another widely-known name - immortals.

This is what is called the difference between immortals and mortals.

Due to the limitation of "spiritual roots", the method of Qi refining cannot be expanded on a large scale, which means that the vested interest group will always be a stable and closed small circle.

But what if we introduce the star system?

This kind of practice that can expand the privileges of a small circle to everyone is bound to irritate the nerves of the vast majority of Qi Refiners.

Xu Shen did not believe that all ancient practitioners were virtuous people with broad minds.

Even the most kind-hearted capitalists will reveal their true ferocious and cruel faces once someone touches their cake, let alone undermining the privileged Star Cultivation System?

The emergence of new things will inevitably be rejected by old things.

The ancient king provided the most straightforward solution.

If we eradicate them all, then wouldn’t the only ones left be new forces?
You are worthy of it, Ancient King!

Domineering, so damn domineering!
