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...
Seeing Chen Xiao speechless and choking, Xi Yunting realized that he had accidentally ended the topic again. Fortunately, this was not his intention, and he had not yet said what he wanted to express. He whispered: "I don't have nightmares, and I have never woken up in the middle of the night. It's not because I'm brave. It's because I have self-control and know that they will not cause harm to me. Therefore, I can sleep peacefully."
In a way, abilities can give people a sense of security to protect themselves. Xi Yunting knew from a very young age that he had to rely on himself, and he worked very hard when practicing martial arts. It was this kind of anxiety in his heart that prompted him to surpass his peers.
Chen Xiao thought about it and felt that Xi Yunting had some truth in what he said. The reason why he felt so uneasy that he had nightmares was probably because of the endless dangers in this world of immortal cultivation. When facing such dangers, Chen Xiao was powerless and could only passively endure it, without any ability to protect himself.
He was confident that he could create a completely different method of cultivating immortals from scratch with Feng Shui in the future. However, the future of this method was unclear, and he was very unsure that he could rely on it to protect himself. A method that could cultivate immortals might not necessarily protect one's safety, otherwise there wouldn't be so many practitioners dying during the cultivation process.
He nodded and said, "Master Xi is right. If I could have the power to protect myself, I might not have such a scary nightmare."
Xi Yunting curved his lips and said, "So, you just lack strength now." He touched his body and gently threw it in the direction of Chen Xiao, "Take it, I'll give it to you."
The object was not big, and the trajectory was very clear under the light of the fire. Chen Xiao raised his hand and took it in his palm. He put his palm in front of his eyes and saw that it was the ivory plate that was bought by Master Xi in the Snow Seeking Immortal Pavilion!
Chen Xiao looked up at Xi Yunting in surprise: "Master Xi, what is this?"
Xi Yunting tilted his head, and the corners of his eyes seemed to bend down. He said, "A gift for you."
Bought it from him, and then gave it to him again? What does that mean? Chen Xiao looked at the ivory card over and over again, puzzled, and it was still the same. What Chen Xiao didn't understand the most was that they were talking, and the other party took it out and gave it to him. He couldn't help but make an association that this ivory card was related to power.
Chen Xiao really couldn't figure out Xi Yunting's deep meaning, so he had to ask for advice: "Master Xi, you gave it to me at this time, is there anything special about this ivory card?"
Xi Yunting said, "At that time, when you were walking in the snow to look for immortals, I felt that your luck was not sure whether it was good or bad. Now it seems that it is good luck." He reached out and touched Chen Xiao's hand holding the ivory plate, "The ivory plate is a legacy of numerology, and I think it is just right for you."
Chen Xiao looked down at the ivory plaque in disbelief. He had lied at first, saying that his house-keeping skills were inherited from the antiques of immortals. But he did not expect to encounter such a coincidence of "Li Gui meeting Li Kui"! The ivory plaque in his hand actually has a magic inheritance!
Xi Yunting said: "This ivory card contains a kind of magic called talisman. It uses special ingredients as painting materials, supplemented by paper made by special techniques as a carrier, and draws talismans with various effects on it. Then the talisman is lit to activate the effect of the talisman. It can be used for attack or defense, and there are many other ways."
Chen Xiao's eyes widened, holding the ivory card tightly in his hand. He knew this art too well, isn't it the specialty of Taoist priests! Although it was hit hard in the turmoil decades ago, the art of talismans has not disappeared completely. Even among Fang Gu's old friends, there was a Taoist who lived in seclusion in the mountains, who once drew a talisman in front of him with his own eyes.
The master is a master of Chinese studies. Although he focuses on teaching Chen Xiao Feng Shui, he did not let him delay his calligraphy practice. Chen Xiao's calligraphy is not as good as iron painting and silver hook, but it can be said to be smooth and flowing. Chen Xiao practiced calligraphy, and most of it was used to make Feng Shui cases. Feng Shui cases require the outline of Feng Shui patterns, writing out the direction and advantages and disadvantages. Even in modern times, with a variety of painting tools and convenience, Feng Shui masters are still accustomed to using pen and ink to paint.
The Feng Shui case diagram was similar to the Taoist spells, so Chen Xiao stared at the Taoist with great curiosity. At that time, the gaunt old man with a beard as white as snow, who was over 90 years old, asked him with a smile if he wanted to learn the spell from him. Fang Gu immediately blew his beard and glared, shouting that the old man was not kind and was stealing his apprentice from him.
Fang Gu felt that he had not much time left, and wished he could spare a few more hours a day to teach Chen Xiao. How could he let others take up Chen Xiao's precious time? So the matter had to be abandoned. However, the gaunt old man gave Chen Xiao a book of spells when they left, asking him to flip through it. Later, because he was too busy, Chen Xiao really just flipped through it and took a general look.
He had never thought that he would need Xi Yunting to remind him. When he couldn't use the energy of the immortal cultivators, he could use this kind of spell that didn't require any external force to activate and had its own power!
If he had known that he would need this spell to protect himself one day, he would have memorized the spell book by heart. He would not be like this now, staring blankly at the ivory cards.
Chen Xiao's mood was like a roller coaster, sometimes happy and sometimes depressed. He handed the ivory plate back to Xi Yunting and said, "This is too precious, I can't accept it. Besides, I can't use it, it can only be a collection." If Chen Xiao could really use it, he would definitely accept it without hesitation. This ivory plate is worth ten spirit beads. Although it is expensive, Chen Xiao can afford it. He can wait until later to give Xi Yunting a gift of equal value.
Xi Yunting said: "This ivory plate only needs to be probed with energy to reveal its contents. This power is not limited to what it is. I feel that there is something unusual about you, and you have had many adventures, so it may be useful."
Chen Xiao's clenched hands froze for a moment, and he looked at Xi Yunting with a guilty conscience. The other party said calmly: "The spell art is a unique skill, and your house art is also a unique skill. If the two are combined, I think there should be some miraculous effects."
Chen Xiao looked at Xi Yunting in shock and amazement. Xi Yunting once again showed his foresight, boldness and carefulness in front of him, and dared to anticipate the prospects of new things. Feng Shui combined with talisman magic, as a person involved, he had never thought of it this way!
Maybe this was impossible in the previous life, but in this life, with the example of the compass absorbing qi as energy, it might not be impossible. Chen Xiao was getting excited when he thought about it.
After Chen Xiao calmed down a bit, he asked Xi Yunting in surprise: "Master Xi, since this spell can be carried on paper, when fighting, it is a good method to take it out and attack the opponent unexpectedly. Why do the immortal cultivators make it a secret skill?"
Xi Yunting said: "This is the same as your housing technique, which is not valued by practitioners."
Chen Xiao asked curiously, "What's the reason?" No matter how little attention was paid to it, it should at least become a niche like Tong Nuonuo's mechanical art, right? It was lost and became a lost art, which was incomprehensible no matter how I thought about it.
Xi Yunting said: "Because the materials are hard to find. The materials for drawing talismans must be spiritual materials. For example, the juice extracted from spiritual plants, the blood essence of fierce beasts or the marrow of various concentrates, the jade core of jade..."
Chen Xiao's expression was completely blank. He finally understood how this spell was lost. If the materials were all of this level, it wouldn't be surprising for it to become a unique skill. The reason why the mechanical masters couldn't continue their cultivation was because their materials overlapped with those of the weapon refiners. His spell was even more powerful, and it was directly in full competition with the weapon refiners, alchemists, and jade talisman masters!
Before Xi Yunting finished speaking, he heard him say, "Materials are only one of them. In addition, talismans are similar to spells, but one carrier is paper and the other is jade. Compared with spells, talismans require less investment. Only the talisman master needs to engrave the talisman and input the true essence to seal it in advance. Talismans require drawing materials, paper, and talismans. The process is cumbersome and the cost is high. The functions of the two are similar, and talismans are eventually replaced by talismans." Therefore, when Xi Yunting saw the content of the ivory card, he said that he didn't know whether Chen Xiao's luck was good or bad. Chen Xiao successively discovered the divination left by his ancestors from these so-called immortal antiques, but both of them were useless in the eyes of practitioners.
Chen Xiao understood everything now. Although the talisman had various disadvantages in the eyes of cultivators, it was the most appropriate for him. He didn't care whether the materials he needed overlapped with those of other cultivators and caused competition. Even if they were equal professional masters, wouldn't there be competition for materials between them? It was just one more person, him.
Chen Xiao carefully put the ivory plaque and the name certificate close to his body. From now on, this will be the most precious item on him. The luck he absorbed now was directly absorbed by the compass and filled his body. When he earns more luck in the future, maybe he can divide some of it from the luck and see if he can use it to activate the ivory plaque.
Even if he couldn't see the contents of the ivory card by himself, Chen Xiao still had a way. He could spend his spirit beads and ask the cultivators to help him copy the contents. A living person cannot be killed by holding back urine, and the solution is all thought up by people.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but with this tooth plate close to my body, Chen Xiao slept very soundly in the second half of the night and had no dreams all night.
Because of the good sleep quality, Chen Xiao's spirit and complexion returned to normal the next day. Du Rong was unaware of the conversation between the two.
After breakfast, the three of them continued on their way, heading in the direction from which the beast came. The further they went, the denser the forest became, and the more undulating the mountains became. Because the mountains were all very steep, their speed was reduced by half. Before, they could walk over five or six mountains a day, but now they could only climb over two or three mountains a day in this area.
Chen Xiao felt very guilty when he looked at Xi Yunting. He said, "Master Xi, it's all because of me that you've slowed down your progress. You don't have to worry about us. Just go ahead on your own."
Du Rong also said, "Yes, Master Xi. We are very grateful to have you accompany us here. The rest of the journey may take three to five days, so I don't want to delay you any longer."
Xi Yunting knew how to levitate, whether it was by controlling the wind or using magic weapons, he could always fly. This mountain with no roads at all, Master Xi Xian only needed a short while to cross. Now being dragged by two people, he could only walk on the ground, which was a waste of time.
Xi Yunting's real intention was not to drink, but he couldn't tell others. He could only purse his lips and said to the two people: "Since we have agreed to go together, how can I leave halfway?" He thought for a while and said, "In this case, I will lend a helping hand to the two of you."
Xi Yunting stretched out his hand to Chen Xiao and said in surprise, "Master Xi, you want to take us with you?"
Xi Yunting said calmly: "This way we can move faster."
Du Rong was completely stunned. He found that he really didn't understand this world. Why was it that a Jindan-stage cultivator was not only willing to take an ordinary person with him for training, but also very kindly offered to take him along.
Du Rong laughed dryly and said, "Master Xi, that's not necessary. Thank you for your kindness!" They were so frightened that they couldn't bear it!
Xi Yunting frowned, and his obsidian eyes looked at him coldly in the sunlight. Du Rong had the illusion that the other party was saying, "You were the one who was worried about the slow speed, but now there is a way to speed it up, and you are still unhappy." Du Rong immediately dared not "reject" the other party's "good intentions" anymore.
Although Chen Xiao was somewhat flattered, he was actually looking forward to it. Because the last time he went back to the valley, the speed of soaring into the air and the pleasure of the ground under his feet were very exciting. That time, because he was worried about Du Rong's injury, Chen Xiao didn't feel it properly. This time, Master Xi took the initiative to propose, and he must cherish this rare opportunity.
Du Rong felt a little bitter in his mouth. He was told to wait where he was. He felt that he had upset Master Xi, but he didn't know why. It was really frustrating...
Chen Xiao was carrying a small package, and Xi Yunting held his waist. He stepped lightly, and the two of them rose up as light as feathers. As the altitude rose, the mountains and ridges in front of them were in full view. Chen Xiao shouted excitedly, opened his eyes wide and looked around to see the surrounding scenery.
I saw the mountains winding up and down, majestic and magnificent, with layers upon layers of peaks and strange peaks. The overall situation of the mountain range was in sight, with the peaks spreading out one after another, sometimes broken and sometimes connected. Among them, there was a line that was sometimes low and sometimes high, winding and twisting, and lively. Looking at its shape, it was like a long dragon shuttling through the clouds, sometimes east and sometimes west. When it looked back halfway, it was holding a bright pearl in its arms.
The Feng Shui treasure land that Chen Xiao had been thinking about and searching for so hard suddenly appeared before his eyes!
Author's words: Chen Xiao was excited: What a lucky place! What a treasure land!
Xi Yunting said silently: ...I was just ignored.
Du Rong looked at him stupidly: When will you come back to pick me up?
