All this shocked Chen Xiao. He tried his best to restrain himself from screaming in ecstasy like Tong Nuonuo. He stayed on the stage with a reluctant and absent-minded attitude, his whole body and mind were already focused on the golden compass in his consciousness.
Chen Xiao was sure that the compass of his master that he had touched before was definitely not as magical as this. All these changes happened after he came to this world. It was very likely that his master did something with it after his death, which led to its current appearance.
The compass unlocked new layers and gained new functions, all because of the absorption of the luck in the earth veins. Chen Xiao discovered that finding dragons and points can get more luck at once than helping people to look at Yang houses and do Feng Shui, and there is no cause and effect. The qi veins in the earth veins have no owner, and at this time they are like streams flowing in the mountains. Chen Xiao just scooped up a handful of it. It did not have the slightest effect on the surging qi veins.
He ran all the way, venting the joy that made Chen Xiao's chest almost explode. He couldn't help but shout twice. Fortunately, everyone in the village went to the bonfire party, and no one noticed his crazy behavior.
After returning to the room in the dark, Chen Xiao lit the lamp, took off his boots, and climbed onto the bed. He leaned against the bedclothes, closed his eyes, and continued to watch the changes in the compass in his consciousness.
After the compass absorbed the luck, it transformed into golden energy. After lighting up two layers of circles, there was still some energy left. It flowed in the center of the lighted area, like a living thing.
Chen Xiao tried to touch the golden energy on the compass in his consciousness, activating it and controlling it. The energy obediently followed Chen Xiao's will and floated up, easily leaving the disk. The compass did not react at all, and Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that when the luck is sufficient, the compass is also very generous. For these energies that do not affect its operation, it does not care if they are taken away.
Chen Xiao felt it carefully. Now this ball of golden energy has been completely transformed into a pure force, no longer having the characteristics of luck. Chen Xiao pondered for a moment and simply called this golden energy Yuan Qi. Yuan means the origin of all things. Isn't it very similar to transforming luck into energy?
Chen Xiao pulled the group of vital energy and guided it out from his consciousness. The location of the compass was in his consciousness. Chen Xiao speculated that this should be the pineal gland, which is called the divine palace by Taoists, commonly known as the upper dantian. Since vital energy is a kind of energy, Chen Xiao thought, if he led it out from the upper dantian and into the body, wouldn't he be able to circulate it like other practitioners?
Chen Xiao was so eager for power that he made this somewhat dangerous attempt without any hesitation. After all, this vitality was something he didn't understand, so he dared to draw it into his body.
The vitality followed Chen Xiao's guidance smoothly, leaving the divine palace and landing on Chen Xiao's forehead. Chen Xiao only felt a warmth on his forehead, and before he could be happy, the vitality that was out of control spontaneously dispersed. Following Chen Xiao's blood vessels, it first entered the heart, and then as the heart expanded, it was instantly distributed to the limbs and bones.
It was just a gap in a complete heart cycle, and Chen Xiao couldn't react at all. Feeling the warmth in his limbs, Chen Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Because of the existence of vitality, he felt clearer than ever before. He unconsciously imitated Xi Yunting, posed in a cross-legged position, and carefully felt the condition of his body.
Opening his eyes, Chen Xiao was surprised and a little disappointed. As he thought, the vital energy could flow through the body. However, unlike the true qi or true essence of the practitioners, the vital energy could not circulate in the meridians for cultivation. However, there is one advantage, that is, the vital energy can spontaneously enter various parts of the body with the beating of the heart, nourishing various organs and tempering every cell. Compared with the practitioners who have to practice body cultivation on their own, there are still some places that cannot be cultivated, which is more than a hundred times stronger.
The bad news is that Chen Xiao still cannot practice, even with the vitality. The good news is that as Chen Xiao seeks dragons and learns, he absorbs more and more luck, and his body is tempered by the vitality again and again, and he can also achieve a semi-immortal body like a cultivator.
In fact, thinking about it, Chen Xiao understood why he was different from the practitioners, and why the vital energy could not be cultivated. The practitioners directly generated the true qi from their bodies, or the immortals directly absorbed the spiritual energy and converted it into true qi. He could not generate the vital energy in his body, and he could not absorb it directly from the air. Only when arranging Feng Shui or acupuncture, the compass absorbed the luck, and when it was sufficient, there would be extra vital energy for him to use.
It seems that the main purpose in the future is still to focus on Feng Shui? Chen Xiao thought helplessly. The result of trying to find another way is that he can only become a semi-immortal. But in terms of strength, he still has no ability to protect himself.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao's heart moved. He took out the ivory plate that he had kept close to him. Xi Yunting said that any form of power could open this ivory plate and see the inheritance inside. I wonder if Yuan Qi can do it? If Yuan Qi can, then other things or magic tools in the world of cultivation that need to be driven by power, can't he use them?
Chen Xiao's heartbeat was a little fast, and he swallowed. He put the tooth plate on his forehead and drew a trace of vitality from the compass.
This time he carefully controlled it and did not let the energy disperse. He touched the tooth plate with his energy, and a message was immediately projected into his mind. It really works! Chen Xiao exclaimed in joy.
With the vitality, Chen Xiao is no longer an ordinary person who cannot practice. He can equip himself with a bunch of weapons that are directly triggered by power. Or... he can focus on the information in his mind and make a spell by himself.
The tooth card should be judged based on the strength of Chen Xiao's contact. Because Chen Xiao's output of vitality is small, the content of this information is not much. There are only some basic talisman paper making, painting material formula and how to process it, and what material to use for the brush. There is only one talisman to lay the foundation, and the drawing method is not complicated.
Because it is information for beginners, the formulas for talisman paper and painting materials do not contain scary beast blood, jade ore marrow, gold ore core, etc. Instead, they are made of simple fiber paper, wood, bamboo, and even grass stems. The painting materials are similar, some of which are easily available minerals, plants, and animal blood.
Chen Xiao was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He used his fingers to dip into water and draw talismans on the table all night. It was not until dawn that he could no longer bear the sleepiness and fell asleep on the bed. Fortunately, the villagers all rested in the second half of the night. He slept until the afternoon and did not attract anyone's attention, except Xi Yunting who lived next door to him.
Master Xi Xian did find that he was awake at night and had the light on. But he was very passive in chatting, not to mention knocking on the door to ask. Without waiting for Chen Xiao to bring it up, Xi Yunting would not ask.
In the following days, Chen Xiao stayed indoors. Tong Nuonuo came to see him several times, but was turned away. Fortunately, Du Rongken took him with him when he went out, otherwise Tong Nuonuo would be bored to death again.
Chen Xiao locked himself in the room, using the straw paper, goat hair brush and cinnabar he had collected to try to draw talismans. However, the restrictions on drawing talismans in this world were very strict. For Chen Xiao, who used materials that were not configured according to the formula, the talismans he drew were just superficial.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Wu Qing was able to stand up and walk. His spine had fully recovered, but his meridians and organs were still a little weak. Originally, everyone wanted him to recuperate for a while, but he couldn't stand lying down anymore and insisted on returning to Hanshan City first. In this case, Xi Yunting decided to set off.
The next morning, almost all the villagers came out to see them off. This time, there were 21 young children, the oldest of whom was A Shou. There were also the top five contestants, three men and two women between the ages of 22 and 35. In fact, the villagers were quite surprised by the two winning women. Although the women in Changjia Village were all cheerful, capable and good at fighting, they were not as fond of showing off as the men, so people didn't know that these women could be so powerful.
Xi Yunting would like to see adult women in the team. Because women are more careful and can take better care of these children who are away from home for the first time. Besides, there are girls among the children, and there are some things that men can't do, and only women can do them.
They were still crying when they left, but when they walked out of the village, these children, whose emotions came and went quickly, became lively. Ah Shou suppressed them with great dignity. They were not out for a picnic, but on their way. Talking and playing were just a waste of energy. Ah Shou sneered to himself. These naive children had not yet realized how hard it would be to travel, so it was not surprising that they would be so tired that they could not speak.
Du Rong led the team in front and returned along the original route. Chen Xiao was already used to following and adapted well throughout the journey. On the contrary, Wu Qing, who had not yet fully recovered, looked pale, which made people feel that he was not well. However, it was his own decision to insist on going on the road, and it was impossible to slow down the journey for him alone. Wu Qing could only grit his teeth and insist, which made Chen Xiao frown.
During the camping that night, Wu Qing had severe diarrhea, and his legs were weak when he woke up the next morning. He definitely couldn't walk like this, so several people gathered together to discuss whether everyone should wait for him to get better before leaving, or split into two groups. One team would take the apprentices and leave first, while the other team would stay and wait for Wu Qing to get better before leaving.
Wu Qing felt guilty for causing such trouble. The seven-foot-tall man was now almost skinny, with a pale face and red eyes. He said weakly, "Don't worry about me, go first. Since I already know the place, I will go there myself when I get better." He didn't dare to go back to Hanshan City directly where the situation was unclear. He and Tong Nuonuo decided to stay in Xi Yunting's mountain villa first, and then find ways to find out the situation.
Finally, it was decided that Xi Yunting would take Ah Shou and the apprentices to leave first, while Chen Xiao, Tong Nuonuo, Du Rong and Wu Qing would stay. After Wu Qing got better, they would leave slowly.
