I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 51: Taking medicine and strengthening the body, it really works

[Taking Food] is one of the spells Feng Xue bought from Jiugu. According to the four basic principles of the Yizhuang secret book, it also belongs to the [Transformation] series. It can give magic power a [pre-digestion] property similar to spider venom. In layman's terms, it is to use magic power to process food to make it easier to digest and absorb.

It seems to be a very practical skill, which can effectively make up for the loss of essence caused by the extraction of vital energy by Xuan Xiu.

But in fact, few Xuan practitioners like to use this spell.

The reason, of course, is the imbalance between income and expenditure.

Although the art of taking medicine can increase the nutrients the body obtains from food, these nutrients still need to be transformed by the body before they can become essence, and then transformed into vital energy through breathing and meditation, and finally absorbed by the soul to produce magic power.

With such layer-by-layer transformation, the mana gained through the eating technique is not even as much as the mana consumed when using the eating technique.

Although the focus of this spell is to increase the vital energy that can be absorbed by the soul for growth, if the magic power cannot achieve a balance between income and expenditure, the risk resistance of the Xuan cultivator will be reduced, not to mention that the Xuan cultivator's ability to control magic power before entering the Tao is very weak. If it is not done well, all the money will be lost.

Therefore, except for those fully-fledged cultivators who never leave the mountain before entering the Dao and whose resources are all provided by their master, most Xuan cultivators can only use the technique of taking medicine when they obtain some magical herbs to improve their absorption efficiency; or after entering the Dao, they use it to absorb the essence of heaven and earth that they could not absorb originally, such as jade and stones.

However, Feng Xue himself did not care about this. He had too much magic power and had no place to use it, and he did not rely on taking medicine to increase his vitality. He practiced this simply to strengthen his essence, and combined it with the techniques of Pei Yuan and Jian Ti to nourish his essence and strengthen his qi, and quickly improve his physical fitness.

In other words, there was no evil method of taking vital energy to replenish essence, otherwise Feng Xue would have to perform a reverse electric meter performance on the spot.

After quickly familiarizing himself with the movements of the Body Building Technique, Feng Xue began to read the Essence Reinforcement Technique, taking a general look at the ingredients and cooking methods suitable for body building. He then sorted the dishes by difficulty, intending to teach Liu Yunxi bit by bit later...

"That's not right! I have a new tool now!"

Feng Xue's mind flashed, and he snapped his fingers. Translucent ink mist floated out of the scroll. He looked around bewilderedly and noticed a few books in front of him. He immediately assumed, "I haven't digested the book I copied this morning yet. Let me study it for a while before looking at something else..."

"Who told you about the book? I have a job for you!" Feng Xue interrupted Mo Ming and pointed to the cookbook in front of him.
"You will be responsible for teaching Liu Yunxi how to read and cook."

"You think I'm..." Mo Ming was about to refuse, but when he saw Feng Xue's raised palm, his face suddenly turned red. The half of his body that had already floated out of the scroll immediately shrank back, leaving only half of his head outside. He said:
"I can't cook! I've never learned, and I can't even tell the difference between salt, sugar, sauce, and vinegar!"

"I didn't ask you to!" Feng Xue rolled her eyes, turned her head and glanced at Liu Yunxi who had already started serving the dishes.

"Just teach her the recipes as if they were literacy materials. She'll be able to tell the difference between oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar! Oh, and it's time to practice your illusionary world. You can pull Liu Yunxi into the illusion to teach her, and it'll save some time."

"Who's wearing the model?" Although he still didn't understand what wearing the model meant, Mo Ming already knew it wasn't a good thing to say, and he immediately retorted. Liu Yunxi, who heard the noise, didn't know what she was about to face, and said with a smile:
"Dinner is almost ready, come and eat!"

"Here I come." Feng Xue picked up the jade plaque with the word "eat" written on it and the ritual of transformation of the medicine-taking technique engraved on it, sat down at the table and began to eat.

As magic power was injected into the jade token, a warm current wrapped around his body under Feng Xue's guidance, accompanied by a feeling of flow that was not uncomfortable, but slightly uncomfortable. The satisfaction brought by the food was increasing at a speed several times faster than normal eating.

Then Feng Xue discovered that this table of food did not make him feel full at all!
He was like the big eater commonly seen in comics. He ate a lot of food, but his stomach didn't even bulge.

Feng Xue was quite surprised to see that the effect of the medication was so immediate, but he did not stay in a daze. Instead, he immediately stood up and began to move according to the posture of the body-building technique.

Generally speaking, one should not do strenuous exercise right after eating, but because of the effect of the medication, Feng Xue was not worried about problems such as gastroptosis. As the movements looked a bit like radio gymnastics, Feng Xue felt a warm current flowing slowly with his movements.

It was a bit like vital energy, but not as real as vital energy. It just followed his consciousness slowly, accompanied by the process of tendon stretching and muscle contraction.

It was with this feeling that the exercise, which had originally resembled aerobics, suddenly took on a layer of mystery, and Feng Xue felt a greater sense of accomplishment while practicing it. Unfortunately, this kind of exercise didn't seem to be enough to trigger the golden finger, and no physical training technique or anything like that popped up directly.

Recalling the description of the exercise process in "Body Building", Feng Xue found that his sensations were much more intense than normal body building. He naturally did not think that he was a one-in-a-million martial arts genius. There was no doubt that this warm current was obviously the bonus brought by the ingestion technique.

"Taking it and exercising, it really works!"

Feng Xue nodded in satisfaction, but did not wonder why other people in the world did not do the same. After all, no Xuan cultivator would spend precious mana to help a martial cultivator solve a problem that could be solved by eating more and practicing more.

After practicing like this for half an hour, Feng Xue felt that the warm current began to decrease. He silently calculated, took out a piece of paper, and began to modify the schedule -

Physical training is easy, but you do need to give your body time to consolidate, so you can do it all at once, after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Mornings are when your body is in the best shape, perfect for standing meditation. At night, as usual, you should drain your vital energy and nourish your spirit.

"It seems that it's just adding morning exercises and after-meal exercise." Feng Xue nodded, and the schedule was set.

Seeing that it was just past four o'clock, Feng Xue reached out and patted Liu Yunxi who was lying on the dining table. Then he remembered that this guy had been dragged into the illusion by Mo Ming for teaching, and immediately began to contact his own ghost spirit.

Perhaps it was due to the illusion, so the signal was not very good. Feng Xue could only sigh at his own useless soul and took out a jade token engraved with the word "ghost" from his pocket.

He had more than a dozen jade cards in his pocket, and he could take out the one he wanted not by drawing cards like mahjong or peeking over his shoulder, but by the spell of "summoning objects".

To put it simply, this spell is actually very simple. It uses the technique of [Spirit Attachment Spell] to fix one's own magic power on an object, and edit specific notes in the magic power according to the different objects.

In this way, if you want something, you can quickly make a judgment by just sensing the magic mark on it. If you can integrate [transfer], one of the four major characteristics of magic, into it, you can even achieve the effect of allowing ghosts to take objects from a distance (Note ①).

However, Feng Xue, a small fry who even had to rely on magic weapons to convert his mana, was obviously still far from that level. He could only distinguish the types of magic weapons in his pocket.

At this moment, magic power poured into the jade token, and the weak signal immediately became clear. Feng Xue then heard Mo Ming's soft and cute voice.

"A little is just a little. How would I know how much? Why don't you just try it yourself when you make it... Ah, Master... Master! Are you looking for me?"

Feng Xue didn't care much about Mo Ming's still somewhat resistant address, and directly ordered: "Let Liu Yunxi go... Forget it, just tell her that starting from tonight's dinner, her food intake should increase by two... well, three times! The food at home should be enough for the next two days. After that, I'll have the dental clinic deliver the food regularly, and she will be responsible for cooking!"

　Note ①: Normally, ghost capture means letting the ghost bring something to you, but if you integrate transfer and possession, you can mark the coordinates of an object, transfer the ghost to the corresponding coordinates across hundreds or thousands of miles, and then the ghost will take the target. Finally, with the help of the spiritual contract between the ghost and the owner, you can transfer the ghost back to achieve a technology similar to space teleportation. Of course, the reverse can also be done, sending items back home across dozens or hundreds of miles.

　　However, this is a test of the sensitivity of magic power. It is not the intuitive perception of scanning, but the keen perception of where your magic power is. It is a bit like the feeling of Bluetooth search. The protagonist obviously does not have this precision at present. He cannot feel anything more than two miles away. It has little practical value. At present, it is just to quickly distinguish the functions of the many magic tools in his pocket.

　　ps1: The art of eating is equivalent to using magic power to transform food into nutrient solution (of course there will still be waste, but less than normal eating). Nutrition will be replenished, but there will be no sense of fullness.

　　In addition, this kind of mana will assist in absorption, so there will not be a situation like in reality where you take a lot of supplements but they are not absorbed.

　　ps2: 52 was automatically posted with the wrong date, luckily it was deleted.

　　ps3: Regarding dice, each world in this book is a big module. I first wrote the world view setting, then planned several routes, and then arranged different events along the way. For example, this world is a fantasy comedy style. There are zombies, evil spirits, and baby spirits in Ping'an County. There are gangs in Hong Kong. Going inland, there are branches in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Kunshan. There are villages and black shops on the road. Which direction to go and what you encounter all depend on the dice.
