Chapter 48 The Mountain God's Problem

"Wall-opening technique?"

After reading the Strange Stories, Chen Ji did gain some new knowledge in his mind, and he also felt that it was somewhat similar to the part about opening the stone just now.

However, the sophistication of the magic is even greater than human power. As long as you have a general idea in your mind, you can use the magic to open the wall.

"I have some stones, why not give it a try?"

Chen Ji thought about it and looked at the stone he had just opened, and the scene of Bai Qi opening the wall that day appeared in his mind.

He also made hand gestures, chanted the spell, and pointed his three fingers at the half of the boulder on the ground.

"Crack!"

A sound like the crushing of hickory nuts was heard from within the stone, and then cracks appeared in the stone, visible to the naked eye.

But it is different from using a chisel to cut stone, it only leaves a cut as thick as a hair.

Without waiting for Chen Ji to move, it split into two parts. There was no rough crack on the cross section, and the reflection was almost blurry like a bronze mirror.

"It is indeed much more powerful than mortal magic."

Chen Ji retracted his technique and nodded, already understanding how to use the wall-opening technique.

I also want to try something more detailed, such as carving a human figure directly using the wall-opening technique.

But the stone was blown into pieces without any success.

The most it resembles is a piece of stone of uneven thickness.

"It still doesn't seem to work."

Chen Ji shook his head, stopped and started cleaning up the remaining garbage on the ground.

But he didn't think it was a problem with the technique, he just thought it was because he was not very good at it.

Skilled stonemasons can use hammers and chisels to carve lifelike landscapes and figures out of stone.

The art of opening the wall is a technique, and it can be done naturally.

But to meet his requirements, you still need to practice hard.

"Why don't I go and build the road with Bai Qi?"

An idea flashed through Chen Ji's mind.

But he smiled and shook his head.

I want to practice the ability to cast spells accurately, but I can't practice that by building roads. It would be better to carve some small objects.

However, portraits are a bit too difficult, so you can start with foxes.

Chen Ji was thinking about something when he moved his ears slightly and heard some noise behind him.

I thought it was the fox coming back to read, but when I turned around I saw a figure I hadn't seen for a long time, and a smile appeared on my face.

"Miss Bai, you're back so early? How's things going down the mountain?"

"Some important things have been done. I'll let Sister Sun take care of the rest."

Miss Bai said slowly.

"It just so happens that the demons will be gathering in two days, so we have to come back early to prepare some things."

Only two days left?

Chen Ji was filled with emotion.

When I heard about this, I thought it was inappropriate for a mortal like me to attend a gathering of monsters.

I didn't expect that in less than ten days, he had already mastered several magic spells, guided a demon to break through the realm, and even subdued two ghosts. He can be said to be a real cultivator.

When I think about it carefully, it still seems like a dream.

But I'm still curious about what kind of party this is, and even Miss Bai takes it so seriously.

"You will know when you go."

Miss Bai kept the question in suspense but didn't explain.

"To be honest, I just want to know in advance and see if I can get that cup of earthly nectar."

Chen Ji told the truth.

"Sir, you know this too?"

Miss Bai was surprised.

"Bai Shijiu told me."

Chen Ji then told the story of how Lu Pan invited Bai to a banquet in his dream, and how even Bai Shijiu was lucky enough to attend.

"Lu Pan... He's a big shot in the underworld. Nineteen is indeed a lucky fox to be able to receive guidance from Lu Pan."

Miss Bai pursed her lips and chuckled, then looked at Chen Ji again.

"I also want to thank Mr. Chen. If you hadn't happened to be there, Nineteen wouldn't have had this good fortune."

"It is indeed easier for foxes to practice the art of marrying dreams, but the blood of the dream tapir and the moon wine are both rare treasures. I would like to thank Mr. Cheng for his kindness."

"Nineteen is my student, as he should be."

Chen Ji didn't think it was his credit.

I accepted Bai Shijiu's gratitude to reassure her. Truthfully, Lu Pan was kindhearted. "Then, sir, are you asking for the Earth Spirit Liquor to thank Lu Pan for his kindness?"

"Exactly."

The white girl pecked her head and opened her eyes.

"Then this is indeed the one we should have. The wines at the monster banquet were indeed good, but nothing can compare to the Earth Spirit Liquor. If we want to thank Lu Pan, this wine is the most suitable."

"But I really don't know the requirements for selecting monsters..."

"Hmm? Miss Bai doesn't know either?"

Chen Ji was stunned.

He thought Bai Shijiu didn't know because he had never been to the monster banquet. Miss Bai had been there and liked to drink, so she should know about it. However, he never thought that Miss Bai didn't know either.

“I know, but I don’t know what the theme is this year.”

The white girl explained.

"The original purpose of the demon gathering was to resolve problems among demons."

"Exchanging treasures, discussing the truth, making friends... it's all there."

"Later, the mountain god thought that since the demons were gathering, they might as well have some entertainment, so the demon banquet was born."

"Since it's a banquet and drinking is involved, games and prizes are naturally necessary. The Earth Spirit Liquor is the reward for winning the game."

"Is there enough Earth Spirit Liquor to share?"

Chen Ji suddenly asked.

The white girl frowned.

"Why do you ask this question, sir?"

"The demon banquet is held every three months, and the Earth Spirit Liquor is offered one cup per year. If you calculate it this way, the Mountain God has to pay three cups of Earth Spirit Liquor per year. How is that possible?"

"You're talking about this."

Miss Bai couldn't help laughing.

"The mountain god has lived many more years than us and has accumulated countless amounts of earth spirits. How could there be no reward?"

"Besides, who says you can always pick the best at every banquet?"

"Is there still no choice?"

Chen Ji was stunned.

"Of course, and it's normal that no one can be chosen as the leader. The monsters won't easily submit to other monsters!"

Miss Bai thought about it and recalled.

"If it's a normal request, it's easier to handle, but sometimes the mountain god will do things that are impossible to do."

"for example?"

"One year, the mountain god wanted to see a copy of the 'Records of Mountain Sacrifice' and sent people to the Confucian Temple to ask for one. However, no demon dared to go, so no one got one. Naturally, no demon received the Earth Spirit Liquor that time."

"This is really difficult for you!"

Chen Ji laughed out loud.

I feel that this mountain god really dares to ask questions.

The most prestigious temple in the world is Confucius Temple, followed by Wen Temple.

The statues and works of the sages and philosophers of all ages are all inside. It is extremely majestic and open-minded. If ordinary demons and ghosts get close, they will probably reveal their forms and lose their magic power. How could they dare to go in and ask for books?

But he was more curious.

"Did the mountain god see this book later?"

"I don't know. Anyway, the matter was not mentioned again at the banquet."

"So when the master asked me how to obtain it, I didn't know. I really didn't know what the mountain god would ask this year."

"I see. Thank you Miss Bai for your answer."

Chen Ji bowed and thanked him.

Miss Bai returned the gift and thought of something else.

"Sir, don't worry too much about the Earth Spirit Liquor. If I really can't get the first prize, I can exchange it with the monster that got it."

"At worst, Fox has fellow cultivators who are good at brewing wine. I can go and get a pot of wine. It may not be as good as Moon Liquor, but it is still a top-notch wine."

"Okay, thank you Miss Bai in advance."

Chen Ji wondered what questions the mountain god would ask this time.

It would be best if I could get a cup of Earth Spirit Liquor, which would be a proper way to thank Lu Pan.

If it really doesn't work, we can only do what Miss Bai said.

Although he was unsure, he was looking forward to the gathering of monsters in two days.

A group of monsters came from the mountains, and hundreds of ghosts came to the banquet.

The grand scene of spiritual practice should be like this!
