I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 309 If a seal is fine, don't touch it.

"Xiao Feng, are you doing your morning exercise?"

Early in the morning, Feng Xue was practicing her martial arts in the courtyard as usual, but Aunt Bai swayed in from the alley entrance and waved to her from a distance.

Seeing this, Feng Xue slowly withdrew her stance, and at the same time, she used her magical power to speak:

"You've come at the perfect time, senior! I was just looking for you!"

Hearing Feng Xue say this, Aunt Bai thought it was probably about the Japanese monk from yesterday, which wasn't surprising, and said:

"Calling me 'senior' is too formal. My surname is Bai, and the younger generation calls me Aunt Bai. You can call me that if you don't mind. I've found the martial arts cultivation method you wanted. Take a look and see if it suits your needs. If it's not enough, I'll go find some more for you."

"You'd better really be 'searching'." Feng Xue thought to herself, recalling the other party's behavior when they first met, but she stopped in time and led Aunt Bai into the house.

However, once inside the house, Aunt Bai couldn't hold back any longer, because in the very center of the living room, a rope hung from the roof beam, tying a frozen person to it like a pupa.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but this person's body was covered with incomprehensible scribbles, but judging from the residual magic power, it was clear that this was no mere decoration.

"What's going on? Are they raising a corpse? I've never heard of anyone raising a corpse in a house! And isn't it still alive?"

Aunt Bai was filled with questions, but Feng Xue explained as if she had expected it:

"This Japanese cultivator is the reason I sought you out, senior. He sent people to attack me several times yesterday, but that's not the main point. Although I'm not entirely sure if it's related to what happened the night before last, there are some issues with his sea of ​​consciousness that I can't quite figure out. If you have a cultivator skilled in this area, you could take him back to have him examine him; otherwise, he'll have to be sent to the City God Temple..."

"There's something wrong with your sea of ​​consciousness?" Originally, she thought it was a trendy way to get revenge, but after hearing Feng Xue's words, Aunt Bai couldn't help but become serious. However, she first took out a thick stack of neatly bound thread-bound books from her pouch and said:
"Here is the martial arts cultivation method you requested. Please check it."

"Alright!" Feng Xue took the books, contacted Xiao Lingdang, and began to flip through them one by one. Only then did Aunt Bai walk to the ice block hanging in mid-air and begin to study the so-called anomaly in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"This freezing spell is quite interesting. It puts the body into a state of suspended animation, but it can also preserve the life force. In addition to being used for sealing, it can be used to save lives in emergencies. It can even be used to abandon physical feedback and amplify the perception of the soul during closed-door cultivation. It's a truly ingenious idea."

Aunt Bai first checked the frozen condition, and her appreciation for Feng Xue's talent grew even stronger.

Don't underestimate this kind of recognition. It's like a young person presenting research results that sound very strange. If he were an ordinary person, you would be skeptical from the start. But if he were a top student from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences or a student of a well-known academician, even if you don't understand them, you would doubt whether your own knowledge is insufficient.

The same thing happened at this moment. When Aunt Bai entered the room, her spiritual sense had already scanned the ice block and found nothing wrong. If it weren't for the previous setup, she would probably have thought, "Maybe the young man is mistaken." But now, she began to doubt whether she had misjudged the situation. "Xiao Zhou, try being possessed by a ghost." Aunt Bai made a ghost-controlling incantation, and Xiao Zhou immediately crawled pitifully out of her sleeve, ramming his head into the ice block. But then, a cry of pain rang out—

"Oh my god! Godmother! What is this thing?"

"It didn't work?" Aunt Bai was now certain that there was really a problem. She circled the ice block a few times and asked:

"what's the situation?"

"This thing has something stuffed in its brain. Judging from the feel, it shouldn't be a restriction, but rather a feeling of being filled with something... Hmm, it's like a normal sea of ​​consciousness is like a box filled with fluffy cotton, you can squeeze in if you squeeze a little, but this person's sea of ​​consciousness is like a box that has been packed with cotton and is completely stuffed, you can't even squeeze in."

It must be said that although there is a gap in strength, Xiao Zhou has been supported by Aunt Bai for decades, and his experience far surpasses that of Mo Ying. With just one setback, he was able to roughly describe the current state of this ice block.

"Sealing... I've heard that in Japan there's a method to seal monsters and phantom gods inside people's bodies and extract their power. It's called something like Jinchuriki. Could this be it?"

Aunt Bai pondered, but then felt something was amiss. If it was something like a human jinchūriki, why didn't it show up when she fought Feng Xue yesterday?
"Looks like we'll have to see a shaman," Aunt Bai thought to herself, then said to Feng Xue, who was studying martial arts techniques nearby.
"This person's behavior is a bit strange. I'll call someone else over!"

Although it sounded like a notification, Feng Xue understood that it was probably a question directed at her, and immediately replied:

"Senior, you can make the decision. I don't have any use for this person. If you need him, you can take him with you."

"Old wisdom from the industry dictates that if a seal isn't causing problems, you shouldn't try to improve it. Your seal seems fine so far, so you shouldn't tamper with it to avoid creating more issues," Aunt Bai said, sharing her experience. Then, she used a teleportation spell, but instead of teleporting herself, she sent Xiao Zhou away.

While Aunt Bai was studying the ice cube, Feng Xue also roughly flipped through the thirty-odd manuals she had brought. That's why the cultivators in this world are so honest. These manuals weren't the introductory textbooks they bought from the martial arts school. Instead, they were complete sets of textbooks covering basic skills, core concepts, combat techniques, auxiliary medicines, and so on. Moreover, whether intentionally or not, the thirty-odd manuals each had a different focus. Some were light and agile, while others were heavy and steady. Even if they were similar in style, they would each have their own unique techniques. There wouldn't be a situation where dozens of manuals seemed like a lot, but upon closer inspection, they all followed the same formula.

Seeing this, Feng Xue didn't waste any words and said directly:
"Senior, I have already reviewed these manuals and am very satisfied with them. When do you want the Emperor's Elixir? Are you taking it with you immediately, or...?"

"No, I don't have the ability to take that thing away. Let's solve the problem of that ice lump first, then I'll bring the little guy over to refine it." Aunt Bai waved her hand and said nonchalantly.

Feng Xue didn't care about this, she just told Liu Yunxi to prepare some tea and snacks to entertain Aunt Bai, and then continued to study martial arts techniques. Aunt Bai was a little puzzled by Feng Xue's behavior.

Aunt Bai understood the principle of not speaking too frankly with someone you don't know well, so she didn't say anything to remind you not to get distracted. The atmosphere was a little silent for a moment, but soon, accompanied by the ringing of the doorbell, the person Aunt Bai was looking for arrived.
