A Feng Shui Master’s Guide to Cultivation

Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.

When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...

Chapter 105: Expectations

The training rations in the world of cultivation are the most comprehensive and convenient. Although this blanket for cultivators is not as energy-intensive and invested as the research rations, it is also moisture-proof and warm to the greatest extent. Unless under extreme climate conditions, regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter, just this blanket is enough for cultivators to use. In spring, summer and autumn, it can be used to spread on the ground. In winter, it is even simpler, just wrap it around your body and find a dry and leeward place to sleep.

Practitioners have internal energy to protect their bodies and keep their body temperature from being lost, so a blanket is just right. But it won't work for Chen Xiao. Although his physique has reached the level of a high-level cultivator in the body refining period, he has no practice method, so there is no internal energy or energy flowing in the meridians to maintain the body temperature. At this moment, he can only rely entirely on his own resistance to fight against the surrounding cold and moisture.

The blanket spread on the ground blocked the cold air from the ground, but the moisture from above hit my face. Conversely, covering myself with it blocked the moisture from above, but the moisture from the ground below would penetrate upwards. If I rolled it up like a tube, the blanket would not cover enough space, just a little bit short.

He tried repeatedly, like a caterpillar, trying to find an angle that would perfectly isolate the outside air. Xi Yunting couldn't help it anymore, and whispered, "Xiao brother, what are you doing?"

Chen Xiao lifted the blanket, and his hair stood up. He felt embarrassed to be so exhausted, so he just laughed dryly: "It's okay, I just find a more comfortable position."

Xi Yunting looked at him, seemingly speechless about this answer, and after a while he said, "Did you find it?"

Chen Xiao nodded: "I found it, I'll go to sleep now."

After saying that, he lay down and wrapped himself in the blanket again. The blanket wrapped horizontally can wrap tightly, but the chest and feet are exposed. Although there is a gap when wrapped vertically, it can cover most of the area.

At this moment, Chen Xiao was wrapped up vertically, with a cushion under his body and a cover on his body. There was a small gap on the side of his body, and the damp and cold air kept coming in. After trying, there was no other way, so Chen Xiao could only try to ignore the coldness over there and tell himself that it didn't matter as long as he fell asleep.

After a while, half of Chen Xiao's body was hot and the other half was cold. He knew that even with his current physique, he would catch a cold. While he was struggling with what to do, Xi Yunting stood up and walked over silently. He knelt on one knee beside him and stretched out his warm palm to touch Chen Xiao's cheek.

Chen Xiao himself didn't notice that he was sniffing inconspicuously. His face was cold at this moment, and the tip of his nose was even colder. The human body is very honest, and the nose is even more sensitive. When the body starts to feel unwell, it is the first sign to appear.

Xi Yunting's hand was so warm that Chen Xiao didn't want to move away. He opened his eyes and looked up. Xi Yunting was half worried and half angry. He took back his hand and said, "You feel cold, why don't you tell your brother?"

Chen Xiao whispered, "I have to adapt to the environment and can't always trouble my brother."

Xi Yunting said unhappily, "It takes time to adapt. What's more, some situations can be adapted to, but some cannot. How can you adapt if you are not feeling well? If you insist on doing so, you will only suffer from the illness, and it will be meaningless."

Chen Xiao sat up, hugged the blanket, and looked at Xi Yunting pitifully: "The vitality I gained from practicing Feng Shui is not a regular practice after all. It can't flow along the meridians and can't resist low temperatures. That's why I feel damp and cold and feel unwell." Of course, a big part of the reason here is that Chen Xiao himself is afraid of cold.

Xi Yunting finally understood the reason. He frowned. This was his negligence. He had not asked clearly earlier, which caused Xiaodi to be ill-prepared. So Xi Yunting simply said, "In this case, I'll give my blanket to Xiaodi."

Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "This is not a long-term solution. What will you use as a blanket in the second half of the night? Besides, it's okay in summer and autumn, but you'll need it when the weather gets cooler. I think we should wait until we have a chance to hunt an animal and make a leather mattress with its fur."

Xi Yunting thought about it and realized that this was a solution. However, Chen Xiao's problem was imminent and had to be solved. He stood up and went to get his blanket. He pressed the blanket on Chen Xiao and said to him in a low voice, "You can use my brother's blanket first. When I hand it over to Tong Nuonuo later, I will use his."

Chen Xiao's mind was so cold that he had never thought of this method. Holding Xi Yunting's blanket as if it were a treasure, Chen Xiao buried his face in it. This blanket was not a standard finished product, it should be made by Chongxuan. Whether it was soft or comfortable, it was better.

Chen Xiao held Xi Yunting's blanket and stood up to spread his own blanket on the ground. But Xi Yunting stopped him. In Chen Xiao's puzzled eyes, Xi Yunting knelt on one knee again and pressed his palm on the ground. After a while, before Chen Xiao could figure out what he was doing, he felt a warm heat rising from the ground.

Chen Xiao's eyes widened in shock. Xi Yunting actually used his own fire essence to heat the floor! Xi Yunting felt that the temperature was just right, so he withdrew his hand. Gently patting the soil on his palm, Xi Yunting looked at the dumbfounded Chen Xiao and raised the corners of his lips. He said, "Now you can sleep well without having to find a position."

At that moment, Chen Xiao hugged the blanket, feeling touched and embarrassed. Xi Yunting said to him softly, "Okay, you should go to bed early." Then he picked up Chen Xiao's blanket on the ground, unfolded it, spread it on the ground, and let Chen Xiao lie on it.

Chen Xiao lay down obediently, and Xi Yunting pulled his blanket over his body. Then, he whispered "good night" and stood up and returned to his previous position.

The warmth of the ground could be felt even through the blanket, and soon, Chen Xiao's whole body was warm. He put his nose into the blanket, and a faint, pleasant fragrance lingered in his nose. Just like that, Chen Xiao's face was hot and sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly pulled his face out and secretly glanced in the direction of Xi Yunting. Seeing that the other party didn't notice anything, he relaxed.

It was already past his usual bedtime, and the warm blanket covering him made him feel safe, which made Chen Xiao quickly feel sleepy and fall into a deep sleep.

Only after hearing his steady breathing did Xi Yunting turn his head to look.

Because they were in an area where fierce and ferocious beasts lived, the trainees did not light fires at night. In this world, some fierce and ferocious beasts were not only not afraid of light, but even had the nature of driving away light. When they saw the light in the darkness, they would rush over. Otherwise, like before, lighting a bonfire at night in a safe area could dispel the dampness. Chen Xiao was too cold to sleep.

Even without light, Xi Yunting could clearly see Chen Xiao sleeping because of his outstanding five senses. Half of his face was hidden under the blanket, and some of his hair was hanging down beside his face. His eyes were closed, his expression was relaxed, his facial features were not mature, and there was still a trace of childishness, which made his sleeping face look particularly innocent.

Xi Yunting memorized his sleeping face, turned his head and looked down at his palm. Just now, he used this hand to touch Chen Xiao's cheek. The feeling of touching others was slightly cool, smooth and soft. This was the first time he touched someone's face. He never knew that it could make people's hearts soften.

Xi Yunting clenched his palms, looked up through the sparse branches, and looked at the dim stars in the sky. He thought dazedly that his feelings towards Chen Xiao seemed to have changed. It was unknown and uncontrollable. He should have stayed away, but he couldn't bear to. He could only try to stay rational so as not to slide into the abyss-like future that made him panic and bring trouble to his only friend in his life.

With a sigh, Xi Yunting buried all his chaotic thoughts and his expression returned to calm. He stared into the darkness quietly, like a stone statue, cold and hard.

Chen Xiao woke up from a sound and comfortable sleep, and the discomfort he had felt last night had disappeared. He got up energetically and packed up the blankets. Chen Xiao held Xi Yunting's blanket and handed it to him.

Xi Yunting said, "Keep this blanket for now. When you hunt a suitable animal and make a leather mattress, return it to me."

Chen Xiao was a little surprised. He asked, "What should I do?"

Xi Yunting smiled faintly and said, "Nothing. It's still summer now. With my Jindan stage cultivation, it won't be affected much." Although he was smiling, the way he spoke did not allow Chen Xiao to refuse.

Chen Xiao didn't want to directly reject his kindness, so he secretly made up his mind to hunt a suitable animal as soon as possible.

Therefore, on the rest of the journey, Chen Xiao paid attention to various animals, hoping to find one that could be made into a leather mattress. Unfortunately, the timing he chose was too unfortunate. He had just left the beast area and entered the area where the ferocious beasts lived. There were more small and medium-sized creatures here. Large animals might be hunted by ferocious beasts, so they migrated to more suitable places to live. After searching for a few days without finding anything, Chen Xiao had to give up for the time being.

Because he used Xi Yunting's blanket and the other party helped him to heat the floor every night, Chen Xiao wanted to do something for Xi Yunting. He took out the dishes packed from the restaurant from the storage box. Although the food had become cold, the taste and freshness were not affected.

Tong Nuonuo was also impressed by Chen Xiao's idea of ​​using a storage box to carry ready-made meals. Since they couldn't light a fire at night, they chose to heat up the food during the day, in the morning and at noon using the stove that Tong Nuonuo brought.

After eating like this for a day or two, Chen Xiao discovered that Xi Yunting didn't seem to like the food he took out of the storage box. Compared to the food that was left out, he preferred to eat food made with fresh ingredients.

Chen Xiao, who felt that he could finally do something for Xi Yunting, completely forgot about his only cooking experience. He excitedly dragged Tong Nuonuo to catch ingredients. Tong Nuonuo made traps with materials from the forest and caught fish and rabbits.

Chen Xiao was very excited and asked Tong Nuonuo to bring out his stove and kitchen utensils, ready to show his skills. Xi Yunting, who had never seen his skills before, was looking forward to seeing his high spirits.
