In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Shiraishi walked forward cautiously and twitched his nose several times before confirming that it was Uesugi Tetsu himself.

He lowered his voice and said sullenly, "Boss, why are you walking and breathing so silently? You're like a ghost!"

After saying that, Bai Shi rubbed his shoulders and blew a breath of hot air into his palms: "It's freezing outside. Why is the temperature difference between day and night so big recently?"

"Then why don't you sleep inside?" Uesugi Che raised his hand and released some internal energy to dispel the chill on Bai Shi's body. "I never said that you must sleep outside the house."

Bai Shi suddenly felt the coldness in his body dissipate and blinked in surprise. He pursed his lips and wanted to thank him, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Then Bai Shi crossed his arms and snorted, "As a master of the Iga clan, I am naturally accustomed to this kind of harsh environment."

"Of course, it's also to better warn and attract the attention of those who come at night." He shook his head and said, "Boss, it's really pitiful that you don't even have this little common sense."

"After all, it's for me, right?"

Uesugi Tetsu responded, then asked, "So, roughly how long have I been walking?"

"If you die without knowing why, I won't have so many good things to eat in the future!"

Bai Shi said this first, then looked up at the moon for a while before replying, "About two and a half hours have passed."

Ten minutes versus two and a half hours...

Uesugi Toru nodded silently.

In other words, the speed of time flowing in the present world and the Warring States Period is about 1 to 30. For every day that passes in the present world, a month will pass quickly in the Warring States Period.

"This is much bigger than the Lunar Station back then."

Uesugi Tetsu thought to himself that this outrageous difference in the speed of time flow should also prove that the time limit for completing the main tasks in the Warring States period should be very long.

But that's fine.

If the flow of time on both sides was the same, if he was stuck in the Warring States Period for a few months or a year, he might have already passed the second and third waves in the present world.

What’s the point of completing this three-star level task by then?

But it is still not possible to use the extra time to frantically brush up your proficiency - the lesson of Ruzuki Station is still there, and the bugs in the panel are not that easy to find.

"This extra time is perfect for me to explore ways to advance my state of mind."

Uesugi Che nodded secretly. Before entering the Warring States Period, what he lacked most was time, so he might have to rely on his attributes to force a breakthrough in his state of mind.

Now he had thirty times more time, which was enough for him to calm down and slowly explore the way forward.

Seeing that Uesugi Tetsu remained silent for a long time, Bai Shi waved his hand in front of him and said, "Boss? Seems like it?"

Uesugi Tetsu gave him a slap and said, "Come in and sleep."

After pulling Shiraishi, who was covering his forehead, into the house and telling him to sleep inside, Uesugi Tetsu ran to the corner, sat cross-legged, and began his daily meditation and practice.

Although my proficiency didn't increase as fast as in the real world...

But ensuring daily practice is a good habit that should never be abandoned.

——That’s what Ririkko said.

Since the Master of Inner Volume and the Emperor of Cultivation have said so, then as her "disciple", there is no reason for Uesugi Tetsu not to do the same.

……

The next morning.

Uesugi Che, who was meditating, clearly felt the gaze sneaking up on him, so he suddenly stretched out his hand and flicked his fingers.

"Ouch!"

Bai Shi covered his forehead and cried out in pain.

But he quickly put the slight pain behind him and asked curiously, "Boss, you've been sitting here all night, aren't you going to sleep?"

"Practice."

"Practice?"

Bai Shi was puzzled. In his impression, shouldn't cultivation be a group of shirtless men gathered together, waving wooden swords and sweating profusely?

Is sitting also called practicing?

Uesugi Che opened his eyes and spit out a two-meter-long sword of air to the side, which made Xiao Baishi's eyes widen.

He reached out and touched the air to feel the residual warmth, then said to Uesugi Tetsu in disbelief, "Boss! I want to learn this!"

——Because if you learn this, you won’t be afraid of freezing to death when sleeping in the mountains in winter!

To this end, Shiraishi is ready to work like a slave for Uesugi Tetsu and complete one hundred and eight difficult tasks!

But he didn't expect that Uesugi Tetsu nodded and said calmly,

"Okay."

Bai Shi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the answer to be so straightforward.

"Didn't I tell you before?" Uesugi Tetsu looked at him and raised his finger, saying, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

"This……"

Shiraishi does remember this.

But he thought Uesugi Tetsu was joking!

After all, this breathing method that can enhance physical fitness, also known as the "secret technique", is only accessible to warriors from major families.

I think the boss learned it with great effort.

How could it be possible to simply teach him such a brat who couldn't even sell his skin and bones.

Seeing his hesitation, Uesugi Che was confused: "Why, you don't want to learn?"

——When Lilizi first said she wanted to teach him, he was so happy that he couldn't contain himself.

"No! No!"

Bai Shi quickly shook his head and suddenly became incoherent.

Because the surprise came too suddenly, he felt a little dizzy.

After hearing this answer, Uesugi Tetsu understood.

He did not urge Bai Shi, but instead kept sorting out his understanding of Qigong bit by bit in his mind, trying to find the most easy-to-understand entry point.

This was his first time teaching someone.

As for the previous Lilizi, she could not be considered a human being. She was a pure genius, a freak, a monster. So when teaching Bai Shi, you can't just talk about whatever comes to your mind like you do when teaching Lilizi.

Otherwise, there is a high probability that Bai Shi will still be confused after he finishes speaking, and then all his teaching will be in vain.

There was silence in the hut for a long time. After Shiraishi calmed down, he slowly stood up and said, "Boss, I won't do anything about kneeling and kowtowing. I know you're not the kind of person who likes to put on a show."

He stretched out his finger and tapped the bridge of his nose: "In one word, life and death are together."

"Don't take it too seriously."

It was the first time that Uesugi Tetsu saw Shiraishi's serious face. He shook his head: "Whether I teach or not is up to me, but whether you learn or not is up to you."

——Although he had the purpose of teaching Bai Shi, this was only secondary, or incidental.

Fundamentally, Uesugi Tetsu still wanted to sort out all he had learned during the Warring States Period and try to build his own system.

Sorting out the Qigong technique from scratch is a basic attempt.

"Boss, you can't talk like that."

Bai Shi frowned and said unhappily, "If you just take a random dog over to the street and give it something delicious, it will still accompany you and lick you every day, let alone me..."

After hearing this, Uesugi Tetsu couldn't help but laugh: "Then it's up to you."

"hold head high."

Bai Shi sniffed the tip of his nose and smelled the aroma of brown rice coming from outside. He smacked his lips and said, "This Tanakarou is really generous. He even prepared three meals a day."

After saying that, he glanced at Shangshan Tetsu and snorted, "Then let's repay the favor start from now! Boss, I'll give you an extra mouthful of rice in my bowl later!"

After a while, Adao came in carrying the small wooden tray from yesterday.

She greeted Uesugi Tetsu and the others, then placed breakfast neatly on the table.

Uesugi Che took a look and found that compared to yesterday's "sumptuous" dinner, this breakfast was indeed much simpler.

All that was left was brown rice, which was cheaper than polished rice, a few small salted fish, and pickled radishes.

"Adao, please get another set of bowls and chopsticks, and sit down to eat with us." Shangshan Che smiled at her, "It will be more lively with more people, and my appetite is not that big in the morning."

"Ugh?"

The girl who had just stood up was stunned for a moment, not daring to ask more questions. She just lowered her slightly blushing face and said, "Okay, Master Che."

When Adao walked out, Bai Shi immediately came over and winked at him.

"Boss, I knew you were interested in this country girl. It turns out you didn't go straight to her yesterday because you wanted to take it slow..."

"Isn't the food enough to fill your mouth?"

Uesugi Tetsu used his internal energy to wrap a rice ball and stuffed it hard into Shiraishi's mouth, causing him to let out a dull "Mmm" sound.

——The reason why he said these words to Adao was to try to see if he could slowly change the trajectory of her life, so as to increase his "historical influence" on the Warring States Period in his "walking clock".

This "historical walking speed" is still a big zero in the walking time meter.

Uesugi Che still doesn't know how to improve it, so if he can be different, he will try to be different.

In less than a minute, Adao came trotting in with the bowl and chopsticks in his arms, and knelt down beside Uesugi Che with a little excitement on his face.

"Eat."

Uesugi Tetsu gave her some of the food in his bowl, causing the girl's hands holding the bowl to tremble a little.

"Thank you, sir."

A Dao expressed his gratitude while eating.

……

The next few days were uneventful and unremarkable.

Uesugi Tetsu and Shiraishi temporarily stayed at Tanakaro's house and ate free meals.

On weekdays, Uesugi Tetsu would ask Adao to come and eat together - originally he wanted Adao's mother to come as well, but unfortunately the latter was really reluctant, probably because she was afraid of ruining her daughter's good thing.

Tanakaro followed Uesugi Tetsu's wishes and told every villager what to do.

After saying this, he lied that he was fishing, but in fact he rushed to Sunpu Castle overnight to meet with the Imagawa family and report the matter of Uesugi Tetsu.

After receiving a positive answer, Tanaka Lang returned home excitedly, but did not reveal any flaws to Uesugi Tetsu.

Uesugi Tetsu didn't have the energy to care about the trivial things in Tanaka Lang's mind. He was busy organizing the Qigong technique.

He tried to explain it to Shiraishi these two days, but the latter said that he didn't understand it at all, so Uesugi Tetsu thought that he had not simplified it enough.

"But today, we can put the matter of Qigong on hold for a while."

Not long after breakfast in the morning, Adao cleaned up the dishes and went out to wash them. Bai Shi knew that he had to practice during this period of time, so he ran to the gate and did not allow outsiders to make loud noises or come in.

So only Uesugi Tetsu was left in Doma.

He stared at the panel in front of him as if in another world. A few hours in the present world was equivalent to several days here in the Warring States Period.

Uesugi Tetsu sighed: "The four-tailed fox has finally reached two stars."

["Four-Tailed Fox (Young Form)" Upgrading: 100%!]

[Your demonic incarnation, the Four-Tailed Fox (young form), has been upgraded! ]

[You have obtained the demonic incarnation, the four-tailed fox (adult form)! ]

The moment the three prompts popped up, the attribute panel that Uesugi Tetsu had placed aside underwent slight changes.

【Physique: 33】

[Will: 31]

[Charm: 11→12]

[Spiritual Arts: 29 → 32]

Charisma increased by 1 point, and spiritual power increased by 3 points - of course, this is only the most insignificant part of the entire promotion.

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the four-tailed fox whose card surface became even more "bling", and after scanning its panel from top to bottom, he slightly widened his eyes.
