284 Junior Sister Doesn’t Look Very Smart
Ning Yao was the first to walk in front of the crowd with a sword in hand. Just as he was about to draw his sword, Jiang Xin rushed out from behind him like a small cannonball, directly penetrating the restriction and coming out: "Daddy!"
As she cheered with joy, Jiang Yichen's voice came: "My dear daughter, give me a kiss from your daddy!"
Jiang Yichen kissed Jiang Xin on the cheek, then saw Ning Yao and the others following them and burst out laughing: “Hahahahaha…you guys hahaha…”
Ning Yao looked embarrassed, and even through the thick duck down, one could see an abnormal blush on his face.
"Master, please stop laughing. You are now a duck head." Chu Linfeng walked over unconvinced.
Jiang Yichen refused to admit it: "Go away, don't tarnish my teacher's reputation. You became like this because of your own incompetence. Look at Xinxin and Jiangxiao, aren't they affected by the curse?"
Jiang Xiao was surrounded by a group of ducks and was sitting in the innermost circle. When she heard Jiang Yichen's praise, a proud yet shy smile appeared on her delicate little face.
Jiang Xin nodded vigorously in Jiang Yichen's arms, agreeing with her father's words.
[Yes, yes, my junior brother and I are fine.] 】
[The magic resistance of the senior brothers is really too weak. We must study hard when we go back. 】
The brothers who were able to hear her inner thoughts looked at each other and turned their eyes away in grief and anger.
If they had the same Mahayana cultivation as the junior brother, they would not have been tricked.
"Oh, why is there a snow duck?" Jiang Yichen glanced at all the ducks present and looked at Ren Yuan in surprise.
Ren Yuan lowered his head awkwardly, and bowed to Jiang Yichen: "I am Ren Yuan from Kunlun Palace, and I am honored to meet Sect Master Jiang."
"A disciple of Kunlun Palace, that's rare." Jiang Yichen nodded slightly, as a greeting to him, and then his eyes fell on Wuxin, "Wow, ducks are also bald?"
Enlightenment: "...the poor monk enlightened his mind in Zenkong Temple."
Jiang Yichen understood and looked at the two budgie ducks hiding behind the crowd: "Hey, these two ducks have nice patterns, are they rare species?"
Big Mi and Little Mi were too angry to say anything, they could only quack and greet Jiang Yichen: "Greetings, Sect Master Jiang, we are Xinxin's cats."
Jiang Yichen naturally recognized them both, but was a little surprised: "Even you were affected. Wu Chu's curse is powerful enough. Where are the others?"
Jiang Xin took out the shrunken crystal coffin from the Sumeru bracelet. Through the translucent light blue coffin lid, she could see the person lying inside.
Jiang Yichen recognized the person in the coffin as Wu Chu at a glance. His pupils dilated and he quickly took the crystal coffin from Jiang Xin: "My dear daughter, let me borrow this thing to take a look at it first."
He put Jiang Xin down and carefully looked at the crystal coffin and the person in it, frowning, "This crystal coffin is a magical weapon close to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, but its function is somewhat useless."
“Chicken ribs? It has turned us into ducks!” Ana Shen shouted dissatisfiedly, and the slender duck neck stretched out so long that Jiang Xin was hungry.
Jiang Yichen gently patted his head back and said, "It was Wu Chu's curse that turned you into ducks. The crystal coffin just stores this part of the curse. This magic weapon is of a very high grade, but it can only be used to protect the body of the person in the coffin from decaying, the spiritual power from dissipating, and the vitality from dying."
There are all kinds of things in the world of cultivation, and there are many ways to keep the body from decaying. Many Nascent Soul cultivators have ways to refine corresponding magic tools or elixirs.
The latter two are difficult to achieve.
A living cultivator has his own world within his body for the circulation of spiritual energy, so his spiritual power does not dissipate.
After a cultivator dies, the small world within his body collapses, and the spiritual power stored in his body will slowly dissipate and return to heaven and earth.
This is an irreversible process unless a strong person at the fusion stage forcibly intervenes.
Even so, it can only maintain the original spiritual power, and cannot allow the deceased to circulate spiritual power in the body like a living person.
Once the original spiritual power in the deceased's body is depleted, it can no longer be replenished.
But the most difficult step is not this, but to stay alive.
As long as there is vitality, it means that the person is not dead, and there is still a small world in the body that can interact with the outside world.
Even if one's own spiritual power is depleted, there are ways to restore it over time.
This is a field that even cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage find difficult to interfere with.
After listening to Jiang Yichen's explanation, Lin Yan asked in confusion: "Master, you just said that this is a magic weapon close to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and you also said that the crystal coffin can keep the life of the person in the coffin alive, which is a field that even Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators can hardly interfere with. Isn't this contradictory?"
“If it’s a genuine magic weapon from the Tribulation Crossing Stage, a cultivator from the Fusion Stage wouldn’t be able to destroy it easily. But with a little thought from me, I can completely destroy this crystal coffin.” Jiang Yichen gently weighed the crystal coffin in his hand, always feeling that there was something unspeakably weird about it.
"That's not right. If this crystal coffin really requires the help of a status higher than the Tribulation Period to maintain the vitality of the person in the coffin, then I should be able to feel it." No matter how Jiang Yichen looked at it, he felt that this was just a secret treasure of the Fusion Period, but he really didn't understand why Wu Chu in the coffin looked the same as when he was alive.
He is not an instrument cultivator and has not delved deeply into this area. Normally he was too lazy to read books that were not related to swordsmanship, so the fact that he had such insights already showed that he was well-informed.
Unable to figure out the reason, Jiang Yichen involuntarily turned his gaze to Jiang Xin: "My dear daughter, do you know what's going on?"
Jiang Xin looked confused: "Ah?"
"Do you know why Wu Chu in here can still survive?" Jiang Yichen shook the crystal coffin in his hand.
There is a special power in the coffin that allows the person in the coffin to always maintain a lying position and will not shake due to the movement of the crystal coffin.
Jiang Xin thought without hesitation: "Because Uncle Wu Chu inside is not dead."
Everyone was shocked.
Chu Linfeng was the first to lose his temper: "Why would he turn us into ducks if he's not dead? I followed him to place a bet during your full moon banquet!"
"There is only a body here. Without Uncle Wu Chu's consciousness, he has no way to control the curse stored inside." Jiang Xin grabbed Chu Linfeng's duck wings and climbed onto his back using her hands and feet. She tried to stand firm, stretched out her little hand and touched his head like an adult to comfort him.
But Jiang Yichen's face did not show any relief.
Observing the person in the coffin with his spiritual sense in the fusion stage, he found that the person was indeed dead.
But Jiang Xin said that he was not dead, so there must be another hidden story.
Jiang Yichen waited for Jiang Xin to continue speaking, but the little guy only knew the result and couldn't explain the principle.
Facing the old father's rare studious and inquiring eyes, Jiang Xin asked worriedly: "Dad, I've finished explaining everything, don't you understand?"
[Although it is said that sword cultivators have no brains, but Daddy, you should at least pretend to be smart. 】
Jiang Yichen, who originally wanted to frankly admit that he didn't understand, was forced to change his words: "... Daddy understands, don't worry, Daddy is very smart."
Jiang Xin smiled happily.
[I knew that my dad is like me, so smart!] 】
Ning Yao and others who could hear her inner voice: "..."
It's true. Junior sister doesn't seem to be very smart.
