I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 70: Distractions have paid off!
"Strange, that lightning technique is so powerful that it's not even unleashed? And the big demon hasn't even come out to chase it... Could it be that they're really just practicing?"

The demon cultivator was standing on the top of a house five miles away, looking at Feng Xue's house from afar. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the thunder energy stopped rising. However, he didn't dare to get close, for fear that he would suffer a big loss as soon as he got close.

This hesitation lasted for several hours, until the moon rose to the sky and the moonlight could be seen faintly falling, and the demon cultivator finally relaxed.

"There's a scene of moonlight condensing into dew. That great demon must be cultivating. I guess he really doesn't plan to fight."

Thinking of this, the demon cultivator walked towards Feng Xue's house again.

Because that intoxicating aroma began to spread again.

Forcibly suppressing the desire for soul feedback, the demon cultivator moved outside the villa, feeling the surging vitality in the villa, his eyes almost red.

However, he had amazing concentration and suppressed this instinct. He carefully moved to the place where the vital energy gathered. Just one glance and he felt his mind explode.

It turned out that the vital energy was not gathered, but overflowed directly from the young man's body, and the ghost spirit absorbed the vital energy that was about to leak out of the room without restraint, feasting on it!
Originally, the demon cultivator thought that this young man released a "vitality bag" every night for the spirit ghosts to eat slowly, but who would have thought that this guy actually released a vitality pool for the spirit ghosts to drink freely!
"Good fellow, no wonder he is completely free of impurities. With a master like this, who would care about the incense on the street?"

The devil cultivator was so upset at this moment that he wanted to break in through the window and tie up this junior. To put it bluntly, the energy he gained from this night alone was equal to the income from slaughtering the entire family of a first-rank official!
What's even more rare is that this vital energy is released completely voluntarily, without any resentment. If the vital energy obtained from killing and plundering is rice bran mixed with sand and gravel, which has to be picked and sifted through a net before one or two percent can be absorbed, then the vital energy in front of you is like finely ground rice and flour. No matter how you cook it, just open your stomach and consume it!

Watching the ghost spirit absorbing vital energy without restraint, the demon cultivator felt like an eight-generation poor peasant watching the landlord's stupid son throwing flour into the river. It was so heartbreaking!

But at this time he couldn't just grab it -

After all, the source of this vital energy is strange. It doesn't seem like it can be squeezed out by a young man who has not yet entered the Tao. No one can be sure whether he is practicing some secret method. At this time, the big demon is too far away in order to obtain the moonlight. If he tries to snatch the vital energy by force, he might scare this young man and make him go astray or something. Then there will be no end to the consequences.

He came here to seek punishment, not to increase his karma, and he certainly didn't want to lure out the old monster behind this young man!
However, he couldn't just watch all this precious energy being wasted by the ghost spirit who didn't know the value of fine grains, so he just stuck to the outer wall, carefully releasing his spiritual sense, and licking the vital energy that slightly seeped out of the wall into his soul.

This movement was somewhat like buying steamed buns for the family during difficult times and secretly tearing them apart while eating (Note ①).

Mo Ming inside the wall feasted without restraint, while the demon cultivator outside the wall licked the exposed vitality as if scraping putty on the wall. It really felt like a beggar.

but……

"The five elements of this vitality seem a bit unbalanced..."

Probably because he had eaten something good, the demon cultivator couldn't help but taste it, but the subtle "taste" of the vital energy he had taken made him feel a little strange.

"Leaning towards the cold and yin, does it feel like the kidney qi is too strong? This kid looks full of energy, full of spirit and vitality, and has no signs of premature ejaculation. Moreover, it's not that the fire qi is weak, but the water qi is strong... This must be intentional..."

The demon cultivator used his own experience to analyze the possibility of the formation of this kind of vital energy, and did not find any problem.

After all, being able to allow a person to produce such a huge amount of vital energy is no longer a miracle. If the vital energy produced in this way is perfect, then he would find it strange.

What he was thinking about now was nothing more than the principle that led to this disharmony.

Ultimately, whether practicing the righteous or demonic path, the essence of Xuan cultivation is inseparable from the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Qi, vows, and incense. As the saying goes, no matter how things change, they still remain essentially the same. Now that he's aware that this Yuan Qi may be related to Kidney Water, using this deduction, even if he can't glimpse the full picture of the secret method, he can at least have a direction. Although secretly learning other secret methods is a taboo, he's already a demonic cultivator, so why would he care about this?
Not to mention that he revealed his own vital energy and just licked it a few times. If this could increase his karma, then all the cultivators who had learned new techniques from other people's techniques over the past thousands of years would have become demonic cultivators.

Consoling himself in his heart, the demon cultivator licked his vital energy while deducing the possible causes of the disharmony of vital energy and the possible consequences of the disharmony, and from this he analyzed the possible reasons for the sudden increase in vital energy...

"Gone? Where's my vitality? Why is it gone?"

Perhaps it was because he was too obsessed, when he came to his senses again, the overflowing vitality had disappeared. The demon cultivator opened his eyes in confusion, and then he noticed that the hateful ghost had actually started to "lick the plate"!

"Damn it, little thing! After eating all night, you're still thinking about these leftovers!"

The demon cultivator cursed in his heart, but seeing that the young man was about to wake up, he immediately restrained his breath, remained invisible, and quietly left the house.

This spirit ghost and the big demon were like blind men. He felt that he had to start with this smarter little ghost in order to actually suffer a loss.

As for the entry point, he has already thought about it. Next, he just needs to wait for the opportunity to come.

……

Feng Xue, who had just woken up from his sleep, ignored Mo Ming who was clearing the remaining vitality. He brought his right index finger and thumb together, and a dark arc of electricity began to flicker. Seeing this, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Sure enough, my guess was correct. The circulation of the Ying and Wei Qis, and the five elements of Qi within the internal organs, is not only divided into the five elements for martial artists, but also the vital energy produced by the nourishment of the five elements. Generally speaking, extracting vital energy itself will shorten one's lifespan, so it's important to maintain a balance as much as possible to avoid causing additional damage. However, if the proportion of a particular type of vital energy in the overall composition is increased, the resulting mana attributes will also be skewed. Yesterday, I accidentally refined vital energy under extremely difficult conditions, resulting in an excessively high level of water-element vital energy. This caused my mana to lean towards yin and water, and this also affected my thunder magic..."

As Feng Xue pondered this theory, many conjectures emerged in his mind. However, the efficiency of refining the vital energy based solely on the idea of ​​se, was too low. He didn't sleep much last night, and all it brought was a slight deviation in the properties. If he wanted to deepen this topic, he had to find a more efficient way, or simply find a technology to refine and store the vital energy separately.

Feng Xue opened his over-the-shoulder view and checked the entries above his head. There was no new option. He could only shake his head helplessly and went to the bathroom to wash up while thinking to himself:
"Oh, it would be nice if there was a skill panel or a system or something... or at least a portable grandpa would do!"

　Note ①: The author has not experienced this, but has heard elders mention it. It was back in the era of food stamps. There were many children in the family and they were not well fed. When they went to buy steamed buns, they would steam them in a pile in a big steamer. Because the buns were next to each other, some would stick to the skins of other buns. The children did not dare to steal the buns, so they would tear off the sticky edges and eat them secretly. When parents saw this, they would think that the buns were stuck to other buns, but they did not dare to eat too much. If all the buns were missing edges, it would be too obvious.

　　ps: That’s why there are always people who come to argue without even checking.

　　Why can one continue to draw vitality? Because vitality itself is not equal to lifespan.

　　This book adopts the concept of Yuan Qi, which is the theory of the four Qi of Ying, Wei, Yuan and Zong in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Ying and Wei Qi have been mentioned, and Zong Qi is the "atmosphere" that maintains the heartbeat and pulse, which can be understood as the energy specifically supplied to smooth muscles.

　　Yuan Qi is a person's innate Qi, representing human vitality. Its function is to nourish the whole body. If the Yuan Qi is insufficient, the body will not be nourished and will age and die. It's just like you will starve to death if you don't eat. Starving to death is caused by lack of energy supply, not because you will die immediately if you don't eat.

　　By eating, people achieve the circulation of the Ying and Wei, and then the internal organs produce the five Qi (yuanqi). This is a cycle of Qi.

　　According to this theory, the maximum amount of vitality a person can draw in a single session is their innate total amount of vitality, so the protagonist can only draw out a sixty-year supply of vitality. If this is drained, death will result, but the cause of death is a lack of nourishment to the body, not a loss of vitality. The protagonist's golden finger locks his life, which is equivalent to embezzlement of public funds. He only needs to replenish it before the need arises.
