Chapter 214 Rune Combinations
"Whoo~"

With the pain subsiding, Chen Miao breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards the bathroom.

Before going to sleep last night, Chen Miao still didn't forget to practice body tempering. However, this time, he tried to practice the body tempering technique for the third time.

Chen Miao originally planned to wait another month, until his body had fully adapted to the two rounds of body tempering, before undergoing the third round.

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

It must be said that the pain of three repetitions was indeed much stronger.

Fortunately, having gone through the Yin Wen tattoo and now being in a state of calm, Chen Miao's tolerance threshold has been raised considerably, which is why he was able to get through it.

This is good news; once it happens the first time, it will happen again and again.

After practicing for half a month, this pain will gradually become normal as your physical condition improves.

After washing up, Chen Miao glanced at the time; it was not yet six o'clock.

Chen Miao went downstairs and took a can of good tea to the cold storage.

When he arrived at the location, he saw Li Fu practicing boxing.

Since discovering yesterday that Li Fu's physical condition might be even better than that of a young person, Chen Miao had an idea.

The Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique only consumes less than an hour of his time each day, which he cannot improve at present.

However, if this time in the morning is used for exercise, the improvement in physical fitness would likely be faster.

Chen Miao originally planned to get up early to run and do some aerobic and anaerobic exercises, but now he wants to try a different approach.

After Li Fu finished his boxing match, Chen Miao went up to him.
"Uncle Li, a friend gave me a can of tea, would you like to try some?"

Li Fu smiled as he accepted the tea and placed it aside.

"Tell me what's going on."

Chen Miao touched his nose and said with a smile, "Uncle Li, can you teach me that set of punches you just did? I want to exercise."

Li Fu looked Chen Miao up and down and shook his head.

Before Chen Miao could feel disappointed, Li Fu said, "My set of boxing is a morning practice version, suitable for the elderly. I'm afraid this isn't what you want. I can teach you another version."

Chen Miao's eyes lit up, and then he asked, "Is that alright? Doesn't it involve any confidentiality issues?"

Li Fu smiled.

"What kind of unparalleled martial art do you think this is? It's just a set of military boxing techniques. There are at least eight million, if not ten million, people who know it."

“I’m not like Zhong Cai, who doesn’t have so many rules. I’ve taught this boxing technique to more than one person.”

Seeing that Chen Miao was somewhat skeptical, Li Fu continued, "Of course, not everyone can practice this set of boxing routines for decades."

Chen Miao then realized it made sense.

No matter what you do, you will reap rewards when you do it to the best of your ability.

After Li Fu finished speaking, seeing that Chen Miao seemed eager to try, he laughed and said, "What are you thinking? I just finished boxing, do you want to exhaust me?"

"Come tomorrow morning. I don't know if I'll be able to finish the game. I need to rest up."

Chen Miao immediately nodded and replied, "Thank you, Uncle Li. I'll come again tomorrow."

"By the way, Uncle Li, I've already started recruiting a new cold storage manager. When the new guy comes, you can switch shifts with him."

"Okay, got it."

Chen Miao left in a good mood.

After finishing his meal, Chen Miao took another look at his cheap apprentice.

Yesterday, I taught him some key points of blind sewing and the techniques he needed to practice. Today, Shi Manman slowly made a new mannequin.

When Chen Miao went in, Shi Manman was sewing up her eyes. Her technique was very skilled, but the stitching was indescribably bad.

When he slowly opened the blindfold, he saw his masterpiece—the eyeballs and eyelids—and slumped over dejectedly.

Chen Miao neither disturbed nor offered any comfort, and turned to leave. After the morning memorial service, Chen Miao contacted Zhong Cai to inquire about whether the runes could be drawn separately on two different items.

Chen Miao's idea was that the rune would work when the two items were combined, but would be useless when they were separated.

The reason for asking this is that Chen Miao wants to modify the spirit tablet used to suppress the spirit.

Because the old ghost discovered the soul-suppressing spirit tablet, Chen Miao did not plan to make the previous soul-suppressing spirit tablet.

However, the Soul Suppressing Field was very effective, and Chen Miao did not want to be limited to setting it up in a fixed location.

Therefore, he wondered if he could disassemble the Soul-Suppressing Scripture and draw it on different pieces of wood, then reassemble it when needed.

Chen Miao speculated that the reason why Lao Gui was able to discover the Soul-Suppressing Spirit Tablet was probably because the Soul-Suppressing Spirit Tablet was effective!

If it doesn't take effect and there's no Soul-Suppressing Field, Chen Miao doesn't believe the old ghost could detect it.

That's how he came up with this idea.

Unfortunately, Zhong Cai didn't know if this was feasible.

Chen Miao originally thought he would have to try it himself or ask Qi Ning, but Zhong Cai said that he was going to take Xiao Bai to visit a feng shui master.

Feng shui arrangements are mostly composed of various different elements, including runes, which might reveal the situation.

So Chen Miao began to review the drawing of the Soul-Suppressing Scripture while waiting for Zhong Cai's reply.

About two hours later, Zhong Cai called.

"Chen Miao, I found out something, see if it's of any use..."

Zhong Cai revealed the information he knew.

The idea of ​​drawing runes separately in different places and then combining them when needed is feasible; Zhong Cai asked about two scenarios.

If it's a complete rune, like the kind drawn in one stroke on talisman paper, separating it is very troublesome.

Under normal circumstances, this approach won't work.

The beauty of runes lies in their ability to be drawn in a single, continuous stroke; only when drawn in one stroke can the rune take effect.

If it breaks at any point, then the effect will naturally be lost.

But some people have done it!
Such a person has achieved great success in drawing talismans. He knows where to break the talisman to minimize its impact, and when they are put back together, the talisman can continue to be effective.

Nevertheless, the combined effect of the talismans will be greatly reduced.

Another situation is a rune array composed of multiple runes.

This rune array is essentially a special reaction produced by the fusion of the powers of different runes, with each rune being independent.

Therefore, these runes can be separated and drawn in different places, and they will still be effective after being put together.

However, there are also requirements for this.

First, the carrier of the rune must be an item of the same type, because items of the same type have little repulsion.

Secondly, the carrier itself is not made of ordinary materials, such as thousand-year-old jade or hundred-year-old peach wood.

Finally, after combining them, cinnabar needs to be applied to the joint to allow the power of the runes to flow between them.

After understanding the situation, Chen Miao focused his attention on the second method.

The first possibility is that even if Chen Miao's talisman-drawing skills were to improve by another level, he might not be able to find the nodes on the talisman.

The second type has text arranged vertically on the Soul-Suppressing Scripture. The text in each vertical line is connected, but separated by a line.

Therefore, according to Zhong Cai, each vertical line of the Soul-Suppressing Scripture can actually be separated, which is not a problem.

As for the materials and cinnabar, those were naturally not within Chen Miao's concerns.

What Chen Miao needs to consider now is how to divide and combine them!
