I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 26 Monster's American Student Loan
The process of teaching Liu Yunxi to read was not as difficult as imagined. Perhaps due to the influence of the oral seal, Liu Yunxi had a very good memory. It was not difficult for him to memorize the pronunciation and shape of the words by rote. However, it would take some time for him to be proficient in reading and writing.

Moreover, this teaching process is not without benefits. After only three days, Feng Xue found that his concentration had risen to a higher level. Both his speed of entering into concentration and the accuracy of his control over his magic power had made great progress.

I can only say that teaching students is indeed a job that tests one’s patience.

It was another early morning, and Feng Xue slowly woke up from a state of meditation. When talking about cultivation, many people think of sitting cross-legged with their hearts facing the sky, but the visualization method does not require any posture. Not to mention lying down, even if you are upside down or even doing something, as long as you can enter a state of meditation, you can visualize.

Feng Xue, on the other hand, was the type that didn't even need to maintain himself, because the energy required to be refined at one time was too much, and the absorption efficiency of his spirit and soul was too low. Feng Xue could even spend ten minutes or so squeezing out the energy that he couldn't absorb all night to soak his spirit and soul, and then in this state he would welcome a baby-like sleep.

When I woke up, I felt so refreshed, even a little energized.

If there are any shortcomings...

"Gululu..."

Well, I just get hungry easily.

"There's still so much energy left... I always feel it's a bit of a waste." Feeling his soul bloated as if he had eaten too much, Feng Xue was sure that he couldn't eat any more and could only let it dissipate.

When I walked out of the bedroom, I saw Liu Yunxi bringing breakfast to the table.

Although three days was not enough for her to understand the menu, she at least learned a few breakfast dishes that Feng Xue taught her personally.

Holding a hot bun in his hand, Feng Xue blew on it and said:

"You look like you're making good progress?"

"Well, at this rate, I will be able to cultivate the Taiyin Inner Pill in about ten years." Liu Yunxi nibbled the bun in small bites, his squinted eyes already curved into crescents. The Taiyin Inner Pill, that is an achievement that only a thousand-year-old demon dares to aspire to. Thinking about it this way, the life of paying off karmic debts doesn't seem so bitter after all!

Just as Liu Yunxi was secretly trying to calm herself down, Feng Xue, who was eating a bun, suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, you really can't use human vitality?"

Liu Yunxi, who was originally enjoying the taste on her tongue, suddenly froze, then shook her head decisively:
"I won't use it, absolutely not! Any monster that needs to cultivate vitality is a man-eating evil monster. I want to cultivate to the right state!"

"Oh..." Feng Xue shook his head and wanted to ask about the method of cultivating his own magic weapon, but considering that he couldn't even control his magic power finely and didn't have any treasure suitable to be the embryo of a magic weapon, he still shook his head.

Seeing Feng Xue's regretful look, Liu Yunxi's eyes rolled. Although the house was already very big now, Feng Xue's overflowing vital energy every time he practiced would still interfere with her practice. Now she had to go to the roof diagonally opposite Feng Xue's bedroom to practice every night to avoid being affected by the vital energy. This was just the beginning of her practice. In a few years, she would probably have to run several miles just to avoid the surge of vital energy, right?
As for running away, she had never thought about it, after all, she was silenced!
To put it bluntly, sealing the mouth is like borrowing money. Under the witness of [Human Spiritual Inspiration], humans lend their "inspiration" to monsters to transform. After the monsters transform, they have to repay this "cause and effect" through various means. When a mortal borrows money and the debtor runs away, the creditor will ask the guarantor for the money. However, the guarantor [Human Spiritual Inspiration] will directly go to the debtor monster to collect the debt without even asking the creditor!

Moreover, this kind of "cause and effect" will generate interest over time. This is not difficult to understand. If you borrow good fortune from a young person, even if it is only a little bit, the benefits he would have gained from the good fortune on his growth path will also decrease, and the cause and effect will naturally become more and more. Liu Yunxi even heard from the fox fairy grandmother that there was an unlucky guy who had not repaid his master until he died, but instead owed more because of his master's reincarnation.

As for the methods of repayment, there are various ones. The orthodox ones include doing good deeds and secretly supporting the debtor; the more evil ones are to repay with wealth; and there are even those who simply repay the debt by giving themselves to the debtor and giving birth to a bunch of children.

But no matter how you repay, you basically have to follow the rule of "helping someone in need".

If you return gold and silver to a poor peasant, you can greatly improve his living conditions, so you are paying a lot. But if you return gold and silver to a rich man, you can only pay some interest at most.

As for Liu Yunxi, it is obvious that there is no turning back now - because she borrowed too much!

Although Liu Yunxi didn't understand why Feng Xue kept increasing her bets, the fact was that by the time she realized that this talent wasn't given in vain, she had already accumulated so much debt that she couldn't even pay the interest!

Why was she so resistant to helping Feng Xue practice?

Maybe at first she just didn't want to be a furnace, and didn't want all her cultivation to become firewood for others to improve themselves, but now, she wished she had agreed to be a furnace earlier!

You know, with her current debt, if she agrees to help Feng Xue practice to repay the debt, then let alone becoming a cauldron, even if she has to pull out her tendons, skin, suck out her marrow and refine her soul, it won't be enough!

So Liu Yunxi could only maintain an appearance of refusing to accept it, while being available at any time. She would first rely on doing odd jobs to pay off some interest. As long as she could wait until she achieved enlightenment, there would naturally be plenty of ways to repay this karma.

Before that, she absolutely could not ask for anything beyond what she was told! Because if she took even the cultivation resources (referring to the vital energy) from Feng Xue, even if she achieved enlightenment, her status would also belong to Feng Xue, and she could not use it to repay her debt!
Liu Yunxi could only sigh in his heart at the fact that a little demon of only forty-four years old had to bear a huge debt that could suffocate a thousand-year-old demon, and then continue to act badly. Anyway, he had borrowed the money and could not pay it back. Rather than being declared bankrupt and forced to execute by Rendao Lingji, it would be better to borrow more, achieve enlightenment sooner, and pay off the debt sooner.

But this vitality really needs to be solved...

Liu Yunxi thought for a moment, and suddenly came up with an idea, and immediately said:

"If you really have too much vitality to use up, why not raise a ghost? Those things love vitality the most. The two in the Fox Fairy Temple were pretty good..."

"Good idea, but those two won't work! I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and using a public bus for personal purposes is not an option." Feng Xue said something that Liu Yunxi couldn't understand, but he was thinking about the feasibility of this method in his heart.

Among the spells obtained from Jiugu, both [Controlling Ghosts] and [Nightmare Prayer] require the raising of ghosts. [Summoning Creatures] also requires the assistance of ghosts if one wants to summon them at will. Moreover, if one has a ghost in hand, the energy that one has wasted can indeed be recycled.

As for not catching the two evil ghosts in the Fox Fairy Temple, it was not really because of any mental mysophobia, but simply because they had grown crooked.

According to the method of raising ghosts recorded in the [Ghost Taming Curse], it is best to find a weak and lonely ghost to mark it. Afterwards, it is necessary to feed it like a hawk, only feeding it the ghost tamer's own vitality and magic power, so that it can remember the ghost tamer's breath. In this way, it can be done with ease and not easily backlashed.

For example, ghosts in the wild that have seen meat and eaten humans will never be tamed no matter how you adjust or educate them.

　As for the specific principles of asking for a title, it doesn’t really matter whether you know it or not, so I didn’t write about it in the main text.

　　First, think of "inspiration" as a combination of factors like willpower, faith in God, spirituality, and good fortune. While it's a bit complex to explain, it can be considered a black box. In short, anything in metaphysics that possesses a degree of autonomy and complex components can be called inspiration.

　　In principle, it's probably the feeling of practicing by borrowing the wisdom, talent, and luck of the one who gave the seal.

　　Therefore, stories in which scholars or kind-hearted people are given the responsibility of sealing the mouth are mostly positive examples, while stories in which ordinary old farmers or woodcutters are given the responsibility of sealing the mouth often lead to trouble. Of course, from the creator's perspective, everyone understands that this is just the literati raising their own status, but when the story becomes a worldview, the author must find a reasonable explanation.

　　Generally speaking, scholars are wiser and kind people have longer blessings. It is easy to borrow from such people and they borrow a lot. Old farmers and woodcutters don’t have enough for themselves. If you still borrow from them, their lifespan will be shortened and they will lose money. When you want to pay them back, it will be too late, and you will naturally suffer the consequences of your actions.
