I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 74 Feng Xue only needs to practice, but the demon cultivators have to consider more

Not to mention how Feng Xue practiced the technique of collecting essence, Li Maolin did not find a place to rest after leaving the Feng family courtyard.

Compared to slacking off, he has plenty of things to do.

The deadline of three periods was naturally not because Feng Xue had seen through him three times or something, but because today was the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, exactly three periods away from the first day of the Lunar New Year.

As long as he reaches the Yi Si year, he will be able to get rid of his half-corpse, half-ghost life form and achieve the state of unity of body and soul. Although he has to wait until July 15th to restore his heyday or even go further, the human calamity is over.

The so-called teachings of the Three Hous were, firstly, to suffer a loss, and secondly, to delay the uncertain factor Feng Xue. Since the cause and effect between them were entangled, the risk of him moving around casually should be reduced as much as possible to avoid involving more people in this cause and effect.

If you want someone to stay at home and do nothing, what could be more suitable than seclusion?

Regardless of whether this guy is plotting against me or not, he definitely wants to gain benefits from me. In that case, I will give him some benefits and tie him up at home, so as to reduce the risk of robbery.

And what Li Maolin has to do next is even simpler -

Caused some commotion.

Actively teaching spells didn't bring any obvious "harm" to himself after all, so it was hard to say how much disaster it could offset. In addition, he got carried away last night and licked a lot of vitality, even if it wasn't much, it might be counted in the cause and effect.

In order to make his "suffering a loss" plan go more smoothly, he also has to follow the original plan and provoke other Xuan cultivators, but his purpose has changed from simply attracting attention to causing losses to himself.

This is like suppressing bandits. You need to make a good plan, throw out baits bit by bit, and limit the conflict to the scope of your control. Even if there will be some losses in exchanging with the bandits, the initiative is always in your hands. It will always be less of a loss than if you do nothing and wait for the bandits to come to your doorstep with their entire army.

"But we still need to control the scope of the impact during this process. It's best not to cause too many casualties, so as to avoid a new disaster before the old one ends. Well, let's just consider it a loss of money to avoid disaster!"

Li Maolin was very glad at this time. He had made a plan for the changes of time before he went into seclusion. The gold, silver, treasures and spellcasting materials in Hu Tian's bag were still complete. Now he didn't have to worry about whether purchasing would expose his identity.

If there was anything to regret, it was that he couldn't go to Feng Xue to replenish his energy at night.

"Tolerate!"

……

Li Maolin has a lot of things to consider, but Feng Xue only needs to concentrate on practicing.

The decoration team of the yamen was busy all afternoon, and Feng Xue also studied it all afternoon. Because he had learned "Jie Yu" in advance, the skills of turning magic power into jade and injecting it into jade were easy for him. Feng Xue only practiced a few times and mastered the technique of how to split the vital energy. Although it is more complicated than directly squeezing out a house and then slowly taking a bath, it is more meticulous. Different vital energy is stored in each jade talisman, and you can directly produce magic power of different attributes by absorbing different vital energy according to your needs.

After this practice, there are two natural branches:

First, through the exhaustive method, mix mana of different attributes and test various spells to confirm the effects that the mana configuration can provide, such as casting spells with a single five-element attribute, casting spells with mutually beneficial attributes, casting spells with three attributes in combination, etc. Taking the example that one part of mana is composed of five parts of vitality at most, there are 231 configurations, and the first thing Feng Xue has to do is to match these 231 kinds of mana one by one and try them out.

Secondly, he could divide the mana within his sea of ​​consciousness, splitting the originally chaotic sea of ​​mana into five distinct pools. This would allow him to refine mana without having to do it outside his body, instead allowing him to directly guide the five energies to separate and achieve freedom of mana. While the first point could be accomplished with just a few more refinements, the second seemed much more difficult, but in principle, it was even easier than the first.

After all, the basic method of practicing the soul is visualization. In other words, as long as you deliberately imagine images such as grids, ponds, and color palettes below the soul during the visualization process, you can make corresponding changes in the sea of ​​consciousness. As long as you persevere, you can accomplish it.

The visualization method only says that you can’t visualize demons or natural disasters, but it should be okay for me to visualize my feet stepping on a five-element plate or something, right?
Then, Feng Xue encountered a rather embarrassing problem——

The scrap capacity in his hand is too low.

If these bits and pieces are simply engraved into rituals and used as a conversion process (similar to a mobile phone charger), then there is no problem. However, if one wants to use them to store vital energy or even mana (similar to a power bank), then they are a bit stretched.

Feng Xue picked and chose, and found that apart from the blue and white seed material that he bought for fifteen strings of cash, which had an astonishingly large capacity, only the few bracelet cores that Nanshanju gave away for almost free were usable, but their capacity could only last for one or two years. At Feng Xue's squandering speed, they would be used up in a few spells.

"Before I can get the Five Elements Mana Pool, I still have to get some good materials!" Feng Xue looked at the blue and white seed material that easily contained a sixty years of vitality and still had a lot left over, and couldn't help but think of Grandpa Wang. It was because of his wealthy family that he couldn't afford this practice!

"Dharma, wealth, companions, and land—the ancients were not deceiving me!"

……

Without Li Maolin's disturbance, the night passed peacefully. Feng Xue got up early in the morning, had breakfast, practiced standing meditation, and then went out onto the street again. Although passers-by still greeted him today, Feng Xue felt that something was wrong.

It’s not that the attitudes of passers-by have become worse. On the contrary, whether it is the rich families, the servants and guards of the rich families, or even the common people he saw after leaving the wealthy area, the way they looked at him was even more respectful. This sudden change made him very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Lucheng County is not too big. After walking a short distance, we arrived at the bird market. As usual, we found the door of Mr. Wang's shop and discovered that the old man was listening to music there.

I muttered to myself that this person's life was really energy-saving, but I walked up.

As if sensing a magical aura entering his field of vision, Old Man Wang took a quick glance and saw that it was Feng Xue. His first reaction was to hide quickly, fearing that Feng Xue would ask a question that he couldn't answer and lose face as a senior.

But the other party had obviously seen him at this time. It would be embarrassing to hide now. The old man simply gritted his teeth and maintained the appearance of a hermit. He squinted his eyes and listened to the music. When he guessed that the person was close to him, he said without opening his eyes:
"Why are you here again? Tell me, what do you want to know?"

"No..." Feng Xuedao didn't think there was anything wrong with the old man's pretentiousness, and just went straight to the point:
"This time, I came here mainly to buy some good jade, the same quality as the Hetian blue and white seed material I had earlier. I want five pieces in total, preferably corresponding to the five elements."

When the old man heard that Feng Xue was here to discuss business, he immediately sat up and said with a serious expression:

"Are you preparing for that too?"

"Huh? Which one?"
