The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...

Chapter 521 The Protector

The fairy couldn't sleep all night.

As she lay in bed, the image of the hanged ghost, which she thought she had long forgotten, resurfaced in her mind.

There was a hanged ghost standing outside the courtyard wall, and there was a hanged ghost in the well water in the courtyard. Someone had hanged themselves from the plum tree that I loved so much during the day.

There was a hanged ghost swaying back and forth in front of him.

She tried to recall other things, such as becoming an immortal, or fantasizing about becoming an immortal and causing Master Liu to bleed profusely, riding the wind on a sword, and getting away with it.

But it was no use. The hanged ghost had become his favorite subject—the ghostly head, the damp, black hair of the dead, the headless corpse, the thick, eerie rope…

The details became clearer and clearer. In her mind, the courtyard, inside and outside the house, on and under the bed, was already densely packed with hanged ghosts.

Even the hanged ghost was lying next to him!

The fairy suddenly opened her eyes, glaring at someone with a fierce yet fearful look!

"What's wrong?" Li Changzhou asked.

"...I'm so excited, I can't sleep," the fairy said haltingly.

She dared not admit that she was afraid of ghosts, because she had been severely reprimanded by the gods before for being afraid of insects.

Unfortunately... if Li Changzhou didn't have a sister who was afraid of ghosts, he might have believed her, since he himself had moments of excitement due to his extraordinary powers.

[If you like cultivating immortality so much, then get up and practice the 'Cloud and Rain Technique'.]

Actually, the fairy was quite tired. She hadn't slept at the temple last night and had been busy with many things during the day. Reaching the first level of Qi cultivation only made her more energetic, but she definitely needed to sleep.

But what can we do?

Shenxian sat up, exhausted—without clothes on, she took the jade slip, pressed it to her forehead, and couldn't read it for a moment because her mind was in turmoil.

Take a deep breath, gradually calm your mind, and a small figure appears in your dark vision.

The art of lovemaking is very simple.

With hands forming a mudra, the magical power within the dantian is drawn and travels through the four meridians in one cycle.

These four meridians all follow the energy pathways of the "Cloud and Rain Green Wood Skill". By analogy, the Fireball Technique should also follow the meridians of the "Blazing Flame Bathing Technique".

Therefore, those who cultivate the "Cloud and Rain Green Wood Technique" are inherently slower at practicing fireball techniques than those who cultivate the "Blazing Flame Bathing Technique," and their power is also far inferior...

"Hoo~, hoo~," the fairy tilted her head and fell asleep.

Hypnosis requires learning!

The next morning, before dawn, Shenxian'er woke up. It was nothing more than an occupational hazard—she used to be a maid, and she used to boil water for the young mistress to wash her face.

But this time was different from the past. I wasn't sleepy at all, and felt refreshed. I didn't have a single dream last night.

[Practicing martial arts]

The immortal formed the Mind-Calming Mudra and inhaled and exhaled using a special breathing method until she exhaled a breath of fresh air, then immediately used the Twelve Hand Seals.

The hand seals must be neither too fast nor too slow; they must closely follow the speed of the spiritual energy. The corresponding hand seals must be changed the instant the spiritual energy enters the corresponding meridian.

During this process, one must not erratically breathe, make the perfect hand gestures, or lose focus. The spiritual energy is unruly, and only in this way can one firmly maintain control and ensure that one is performing the exercise on the correct path.

The gods only stopped their work when the sun peeked at the world from the horizon.

"I refine three strands of spiritual energy in the morning. With my energy, I can do it once each in the morning, noon, and evening, which is nine strands a day." She counted on her fingers.

"The second level of the Cloud and Rain Green Wood Technique requires eighty-one streams of spiritual energy, which is... which is... the Nine Heavens."

"The third level requires 162 steps and 18 days; breaking through to the fourth level requires liquefying one's magical power, which depends on comprehension, and the time is uncertain."

"The fifth floor requires..."

"Alright," Li Changzhou interrupted her rambling, "what's the point of wasting so much time on this Qi Refining stage? Pick up a hoe and go farming; that's what you should be doing."

Shenxian'er always felt there was something wrong with what the deity said.

After getting out of bed and stretching a bit, I put on my tube top, trousers, and coat.

It was just stuffed in carelessly when I ran away; it wasn't folded properly, and after being left in the bundle for a while, it's full of wrinkles.

Without thinking too much, she tucked the tree branch into her waistband, clipped the seed bags of spirit rice and spirit vegetables to the other side, grabbed the hoe she had bought yesterday, and went out.

I didn't eat the pancakes, so I only had two!

As soon as I stepped out of the yard, my neighbor next door also came out.

Shenxian'er instinctively wanted to greet him, but upon seeing the other person, her clear gaze instantly turned sharp.

It's that little monk who sells mud!

The other person was also carrying a hoe, glaring at her menacingly.

The two looked like two small, stray dogs facing off.

Until the fairy blinked first.

"Hmph~" The little cultivator was extremely pleased with himself and walked towards the terraced fields in the distance.

Shenxian rubbed her dry, sore eyes, vowing to avenge this grudge!

The two of them went up Lingtian Mountain one after the other, and as a result... their spiritual fields were next to each other.

This is to be expected, since the courtyards are right next to each other.

The young cultivator's spiritual field was already planted with spiritual rice. Although she was young, she was quite nimble and quickly cleared away the weeds.

Shenxian admired her, but she was more competitive.

She picked up a hoe and began weeding.

Her spiritual field had been abandoned for a while. Because of the abundant spiritual energy, the weeds were taller than a person. As soon as she entered, she disappeared.

After hoeing for only a short while, he was so tired that he sat down to rest on the edge of the field.

At this moment, the young cultivator returned carrying two buckets of spiritual spring water, covered in sweat, his small body bent low under the weight.

Upon arriving at his own spiritual field, he wiped away his sweat and immediately began watering the spiritual rice and vegetables with spiritual spring water, his expression serious and meticulous, without the slightest slackness or laziness.

With gritted teeth and ignoring her exhaustion, Shenxian picked up her hoe and continued weeding.
