I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 91 Whose Robbery Is This? (Eighth Update)
"It's almost time!"

At midnight, as the hour of midnight approached, Feng Xue came out of his meditation state at the sound of the alarm clock.

Liu Yunxi also brought some midnight snacks to replenish their energy at the right time.

By practicing the technique of taking medicine, the four energies of Yingwei Yuanzong are filled, and the magic power in the sea of ​​consciousness also gathers into a pool.

After targeted meditation, the pool of mana in his sea of ​​consciousness gradually began to divide into sections. In addition to a pool of clear and transparent mana at the bottom of his soul, there were five sub-pools on the periphery, each containing five colors of mana: white, green, black, red, and yellow.

However, he was not yet proficient in the five qi and five points, and could only use the five-color magic power as needed. At this time, there were only a few basic colors in the pool.

He tied the jade belt around his waist, which had been slightly improved after being revised and instructed by Li Maolin, and inserted the five-colored jade seals into the slots one by one. Feng Xue took out the three jade talismans of [Thunder Transformation], [Divine Movement], and [Substitute] and placed them in the jade belt, then fastened his arm guards and leggings. Only then did he put on his backpack and picked up the Hu Tianyin bag in his hand. It looked quite out of place.

But Feng Xue was about to run away, so he naturally didn't care. He said to Liu Yunxi who was already prepared:
"You look like a ring to me..."

……

"Do you really think there's a problem?" Outside the house that Feng Xue owned in full, Master Huijiu asked again. Miss Deng yawned slightly when she heard this.
"Whether they are here or not, besides, you are the eldest ancestor of my family. My parents and other ancestors come up every now and then to urge me to get married. There is no need to rush to listen to their nagging on New Year's Eve. We are not welcome to participate in the Taoist and Buddhist ceremonies, and our temple is not popular. Instead of staring at the tablets at home, I might as well stay here. If I can catch a big guy, I might become famous in the county. Look at Feng Xue, he was struck by two thunders, and the storyteller said he was like Wen Taishi descended to the earth..."

As soon as the words fell, Feng Xue's house suddenly trembled. Miss Deng's eyes flashed with excitement, and the corners of her mouth stretched into a grin that could even be called terrifying.

"What did I say? There must be something wrong with that guy!"

……

"What's going on? Why is Cai Zichu starting to riot?" Li Maolin, who was still near the guesthouse at this time, felt the trembling of the jade pendant on his waist. His face immediately turned ugly. He counted with his fingers and felt that his vision was dark.

"Can we still live peacefully? We agreed to universalize 24-hour timekeeping by now. Why are you still using Zichu (Note ①) when the day changes?"

Li Maolin was really confused this time. Because of Feng Xue's previous experience, he even checked the calendar and time of people a hundred years later and found that they had started to use 24-hour timekeeping. That's when he prepared the Nian Beast Plan. But who would have thought that the widely believed judgment was still based on time!

In fact, Lao Li also didn't understand it. After all, the 24-hour system was popularized with the "Western clocks and watches". But except for a few people who work in places like train stations, how many ordinary people can see the clock regularly?

However, no matter how unexpected it was, since it was New Year's Eve, Li Maolin could no longer let the Nian beast retreat. He found a secluded place and urged the evil spirit to move forward.

For the past few days, he'd used his invisible nature to the Xuan Cultivators' perceptions to gather the common people's wishes regarding the "Nian Beast" on the streets. Luckily, with the Lunar New Year approaching and the increasing number of people selling firecrackers on the streets, there were quite a few wishes regarding the Nian Beast. Even though Li Maolin often saw disgruntled older Xuan Cultivators muttering about their misinformation, how could a Xuan Cultivator's mouths compare to the quick-witted businessmen? He lamented that in just a few years, the entire nation would not only suppress the "evil spirit" but also celebrate the "New Year's Eve" (Chinese New Year's Eve). He steadily infused his evil spirit into the jade tablet, using the shaman's method of summoning souls to help the Nian Beast slowly take shape. Simultaneously, he released information, causing the Nian Beast to meander towards the guesthouse.

After all, Feng Xue had no intention of running away at this time, and it would be too obvious if the Nian beast directly broke into the guesthouse.

His original plan was to wait for Feng Xue to go out, and then let the Nian Beast meet him by chance. Then Feng Xue would use his magic with excellent sound effects to kill the Nian Beast and delay him for two or three days.

But now that it has been advanced, we can only make the best of it and let the Nian Beast cause some trouble first, which would be a good idea to attract the attention of some Xuan cultivators. Anyway, with Feng Xue's temper, as long as the Nian Beast is eliminated near him, he will definitely not leave within two or three days!
Driven by Li Maolin's magic power, a monster shaped like a stone lion, with a single horn on its head, wings on its ribs, and an extremely large body, actually walked onto the street. Although people without psychic vision could not see it, the huge pink and white claw marks were clearly left on the road.

Feng Xue's house was originally located in a wealthy area, so this change naturally immediately attracted the attention of the guards and patrols. Accompanied by exclamations, the city suddenly became chaotic.

Feng Xue had just put on his clothes and was waiting for the alarm to ring at midnight, but suddenly he heard a commotion outside. He used his qi-gazing technique and saw a huge "stone lion" jumping up and down in the distance, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard from time to time.

"Oh my goodness! The Nian Beast!"

Feng Xue's eyes widened, and he remembered the cause of the "evil spirit". Only then did he understand why Mr. Wang was so sensitive to the legend of the Nian beast!
Or it's not just the Nian beast. Any legend that links the seasons, ghosts, monsters, and solar terms is probably a trouble among troubles in the eyes of Xuan Xiu. Every such legend means that they have to deal with one more monster every year. The most annoying thing is that most of these monsters are transformed by turbid wishes. Even if they are defeated, there is no benefit. As for merit... compared with the risks of dealing with such a big guy, it is better to do more good deeds in daily life than to rely on that little merit!

But no matter what the Nian beast did, Feng Xue didn't care. He only knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come!
Without waiting for midnight, he put on his backpack, picked up the Hu Tianyin bag, and jumped out of the window with a weight of more than 60 kilograms. With a flash of magic power on his belt, his body suddenly slowed down and he landed lightly on the ground. Without slowing down at all, he ran straight to the train station!

"Good boy, you really know how to seize opportunities!" Seeing Feng Xue jump out of the window silently, Li Maolin became more and more certain that this boy was a material for practicing magic, and he also chased after him with the speed of wind. However, it was not convenient for him to show up at this time, as he needed to wait and see what this boy was going to do!
However, after seeing the Nian Beast erupt, Miss Deng immediately sent a signal, but she did not stay to stop the big guy. Instead, she went straight to the guesthouse. With the help of the Gray Fairy, she had crossed the distance of less than two miles in just a few steps. She looked at Feng Xue who jumped out of the window from a distance, and her heart was excited and nervous. She immediately quickened her pace a bit.

At the same time, the Nian Beast had already taken its first steps, fleeing amidst the siege of numerous Xuan Cultivators. Although legends said this creature possessed immense strength and power, its fear of loud noises, fire, and the color red was etched into its very fabric. Thanks to the New Year's goods that every household had already stocked up on, the Nian Beast's appearance hadn't caused any casualties. The only problem was...

"Zhao, why did this thing come to the train station?"

Just as he was about to reach "that place", Feng Xue watched the giant creature suddenly leap over the small building on the street and directly jump in front of him. Before he could react, a shout came from behind him -

"Feng Xue, you colluded with the demonic cultivators, raising evil spirits to make a name for yourself. Now you're caught red-handed, what else do you have to say?"

"What?"
