I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 296 Local cultivators are still quite reliable.

Sunlight streaming through the window woke Feng Xue. She instinctively reached up to sit up, but only felt a sharp pain in her back. Remembering what had happened last night, Feng Xue scratched her head and chuckled to herself.

"Hiss... No wonder they made so many medicinal dishes. This snake-like waist really needs a lot of nourishment to keep it up. Luckily, it has the Life-Locking Treasure to protect it, otherwise it would probably have been drained dry!"

"Come eat when you're awake!" As if she had perfectly controlled Feng Xue's biological clock, just as he cast a cleansing spell on himself, Liu Yunxi's voice, along with the aroma of breakfast, wafted into the bedroom.

"Coming." Feng Xue put on her clothes and walked out of the bedroom. She saw that Liu Yunxi had added a few new dishes to the leftovers from last night and put them on the table. It was a bit strange to eat such a sumptuous meal so early in the morning, but Feng Xue rubbed her lower back and decided to have some more to eat.

"Little Bell, in the project proposal, the improvement plan for the Xuanwu Fellowship, the martial arts side should emphasize the production of Yang Qi. As for reference materials, well, firstly, the physical changes when using the Crimson Palace Thunder and Water Visceral Thunder, and secondly, the changes in Yuan Qi when eating those aphrodisiac foods. At the same time, we should pay attention to the problem of excessive Yang, as too much is as bad as too little. It is best to form a dynamic balance with the Yin of the soul."

Upon hearing Feng Xue's request, his wristwatch immediately lit up, and then a small bell replied: "Okay, it's been added to the update project. Is there anything else you need, Master?"

"Nothing for now." Shaking her head slightly, Feng Xue walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and then stared at Liu Yunxi for a long time. Liu Yunxi noticed Feng Xue's gaze and felt a little strange. After hesitating for a moment, she asked:
"Why are you looking at me?"

"Damn... oops, no, that's not it! I was too caught up in the moment yesterday to ask you what you were thinking." Feng Xue knew her words were a bit crude, but the atmosphere had been right last night, so asking any more questions would be impolite, wouldn't it?
Although it's still a bit impolite to ask now, Feng Xue felt that if he didn't ask, he would have gotten up in his dreams and asked, "Why?"

However, to Feng Xue's surprise, Liu Yunxi remained remarkably calm. She put down her rice bowl and said calmly:
"Do you really think I can escape?"

"No... if you felt you couldn't escape it, you should have made a decision long ago. Why yesterday?" Feng Xue grinned, but then realized she had asked a stupid question. Even if it were another day, wouldn't he still ask why today?

But Liu Yunxi was excellent in this regard. She maintained the thought process unique to demons, without any pretense or using any rhetoric to win favor, such as discovering she had fallen in love. She simply said in a serious tone:
"You've even managed to produce the Emperor's Elixir. If you don't convert debt into equity now, you'll really have no chance. After all, with that stuff, you can create as many monsters as you want, right?"

"So it's because of a sense of crisis?" Although he was a little disappointed, Feng Xue finally felt relieved. He was the type of person who was very insecure, and this reasonable answer made him feel at ease.

but……

"Debt-to-equity swaps? Where did you learn that?"

"I learned it online from the He Concession, and I think it's quite fitting." Liu Yunxi picked up a piece of stir-fried pork and put it in her mouth, chewing while responding with her demonic energy.

"Alright, by the way, can you still use that Emperor's Elixir?" Feng Xue glanced at the jade carving of Su'e Huiye, where a drop of Emperor's Elixir was still held in her palm.

"It is usable, after all, it can replace highly refined moon essence, but it would be too wasteful to use it like that. This is a sacred object that can enlighten demons! Even if you don't raise demons for fun, it is good to trade with other demons. As a last resort, you can also use it to trade with shamans. It is a kind of hard currency."

Liu Yunxi's tone was quite subtle. Feng Xue felt that in her eyes, he had probably become a spendthrift old man, but he clearly didn't care much about things that could be mass-produced. In comparison, he was more curious about—

What happens when a person uses this thing?

What would happen if humans used the Emperor's Elixir? This was a question Feng Xue had pondered for a long time. Back then, his lifespan problem was still unresolved, and he considered trying to see if humans could extend their lifespan using the Emperor's Elixir. However, now that he had the Jade Rabbit as a solution for his lifespan, it would be too irresponsible to test it on himself directly.

However, he was not a demonic cultivator, so he couldn't just randomly find someone to experiment on. After thinking about it, he decided to ask someone.

It can only be said that once a person gains power, their style of doing things will change. Half a year ago, he would definitely have found some thugs and hooligans that every transmigrator would encounter as test subjects, and after the experiment, he would have cleaned them up.

The reason he dares to ask people now is largely because his current strength is no less than that of an ordinary cultivator. With the help of various high-tech equipment from the pre-civilization of the Sea World, he even dares to challenge a Grandmaster.

"But who should I ask about this?" Feng Xue pondered this question. He wasn't worried that no one would know, after all, the Emperor's Dew erupts once every sixty years, and some of it will inevitably fall on humans. Even if it doesn't fall on humans, he believed that there was no shortage of cultivators in the world who dared to try.

However, this problem was not enough to interrupt his cultivation habit. After having a hearty breakfast, he activated the food-consuming technique to refine the food before coming to the door to begin his morning exercise.

……

"Hey! Morning exercise!" Feng Xue was practicing his Xuanwu stance (v6.72b) when he suddenly heard a crisp voice coming from not far away. Feng Xue looked up and saw the girl he had seen yesterday appear at the alley entrance. Her movements were steady, her breathing calm, and she was simply using her magic to vibrate the air as she spoke:
"What brings you here, senior?"

"It's nothing serious, just came to familiarize myself with the place and to tell you something." The young woman, who could live for thousands of years, smiled, but her tone was very serious.

"Was it you who stumbled upon that group of short Japanese bastards' plot yesterday?"

"It's me." Feng Xue nodded, acknowledging it immediately. He hadn't intended to hide it at all. The girl didn't waste any words either, saying directly:

Do you know the origins of those short Japanese men?

"I don't know that. Could it be that they have a powerful backer?" Feng Xue raised her eyebrows and began to think that if the backer was too powerful, she should just summon King Ghidorah to attack Tokyo Bay and see if she could create another Godzilla.

Upon hearing this, the girl waved her hand and said:

"In their little territory, that would certainly be considered a powerful backer, but here, even a dragon has to coil up! I'm here to tell you that the higher-ups have already taken over for you, but there might be some shady characters causing you trouble behind the scenes, so just be careful."

"Oh." Feng Xue was somewhat disappointed to hear there was no fight, but seeing the girl's lifespan, which was clearly different from that of human cultivators, she couldn't help but ask:

"Senior, there's something I'd like to ask you..."
