Chapter 31 Genius.
Xie Wu was unaware of Mo Xiu's plan, but he readily agreed.
Moreover, judging from Cheng Cheng's words, the others also disliked Xu Liang's actions. Xie Wu completely agreed with this, and felt even more strongly that choosing to follow Mo Xiu and the others was indeed the right decision.
Xie Wu has a gentle personality and is easy to get along with. Knowing that she doesn't have any special abilities, she tries her best to do as much work as possible.
For example, helping to manage the plot of land outside the apartment so that Cheng Cheng could better cultivate the plants there. Also, assisting Lu Pingwan in preparing meals for everyone.
He was initially worried that he only knew how to cook cat food. Although he tried his best to learn from Xiao Wan, he was still afraid that he didn't have much talent in cooking and wouldn't be able to satisfy them.
Who knew that it was precisely those cat and dog food-like dishes he made that were especially popular with Mo Xiu and Mo Qi.
Seeing this, Xie Wu tried cutting the meat he had obtained into strips, drying it, and making it into the jerky snacks he used to prepare for the small animals in the hospital. However, he added some human seasoning, making the flavor stronger.
As a result, he was very popular with these two people, especially Mo Qi.
This surprised Xie Wu, who felt that this way he could be of more use.
Well, these two big shots have rather questionable tastes. How come they all look so much like the felines he's treated in the past…
Thanks to her personality and her exceptional 'cooking skills,' Xie Wu has managed to establish herself in the team and gets along very well with everyone.
He parked his RV downstairs at the apartment building and moved a lot of his belongings upstairs.
Although you can live alone in a motorhome, it's still not as good as sleeping in an apartment room.
Cheng Cheng's bed was as big as he said, and it wasn't crowded for two grown men to sleep together. They could even chat before bed, which made their relationship grow closer.
After the apocalypse, Xie Wu lost all his relatives and had no friends. It must be said that Cheng Cheng's appearance gave him great comfort.
Xie Wu even felt that this period of time was the most comfortable he had experienced since the end of the world.
He ate well and slept well every day. Mo Xiu and the others didn't make any demands or exploit him, and he had a lot of time for himself.
When he had nothing to do while packing his luggage, he would occasionally take out a few books from the RV and read them.
One of the books was passed down from his ancestors. It had no name on the cover and contained information about Qimen Dunjia, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams. The content seemed quite mystical, and Xie Wu didn't quite understand it.
However, considering that this book has been passed down for so many years and is said to be so precious, I took it with me when I left.
During her break that day, Xie Wu took out the book again and casually flipped through it. Coincidentally, Mo Qi, who came out of the room, saw her.
Mo Qiyi saw the book in the other person's hand and sensed the special aura emanating from it. He immediately stopped and walked towards Xie Wu.
Upon closer inspection, just as he had predicted, it was no ordinary book; it was a legacy left behind by a cultivator.
But how could such a legacy end up in the hands of an ordinary person?
"Where did you get this book?" Mo Qi asked the man, scanning Xie Wu up and down to confirm that the other party had no cultivation.
Hearing this, Xie Wu snapped out of her daze and said, "This was passed down from my ancestors. I heard it's quite old. Do you recognize this book?"
Mo Qi didn't say anything, but simply took the book from the other person and flipped through a few pages.
The book contains a variety of information, including cultivation techniques, weapon crafting methods, and even elixirs and talismans. It is quite comprehensive.
However, the content here is relatively basic, and might be useful to cultivators below the Golden Core stage. Beyond that, the book's usefulness diminishes. At least for Mo Qi, it's no different from a children's book.
"I don't really know this book, but I find it somewhat interesting," Mo Qi replied.
It's been a long time since I've seen any books related to the cultivation world. To be honest, when I unexpectedly came across one, I felt a sense of familiarity.
Just then, Mo Xiu returned from outside and raised an eyebrow when she saw Mo Qi engrossed in reading.
He walked over quickly and peered into the book Mo Qi was reading. He found that it was mostly filled with scribbles that he couldn't understand at all. He then looked at Xie Wu, who was standing to the side, with a questioning look.
Seeing this, Xie Wu explained the origin of the book to Mo Xiu again. Mo Xiu just assumed that Mo Qi was curious and picked up a book to read at random.
She then asked him, "Are you looking for some books to read? What kind of books do you like to read? Would you like me to help you find some?"
Mo Xiu thought that perhaps it was because there was no TV to watch or computers and mobile phones to play with in the apocalypse, and life was too boring, that Mo Qi suddenly became interested in this kind of book.
That was his oversight; he should have prepared some entertainment beforehand.
Considering that Mo Qi was probably not well-read, Mo Xiu thought that when she was looking for books outside, she should find some more interesting books with lots of illustrations for him.
To his surprise, after he asked the question, Mo Qi shook his head and said, "No need, I just thought this book was interesting, so I brought it to take a look."
"Can you understand it?" Mo Xiu asked.
"I can understand it." Mo Qi didn't hide anything; there was nothing he couldn't understand about such a simple book.
Xie Wu, who was standing to the side, was also very curious, after all, this book had been passed down in his family from his ancestors.
Over the years, no one in their family has been able to truly understand it. He's the only one who can decipher even a little bit of the meaning, which is quite a gift.
"Do you know what this passage is about?" Xie Wu pointed to the contents of the book and asked humbly.
Mo Qi had always treated his subordinates well, and he was particularly pleased with Xie Wu's recent dried meat. Therefore, he was generous in answering Xie Wu's questions.
Now it was Mo Xiu's turn to be surprised. He didn't expect that Mo Qi wasn't just talking nonsense; he could actually understand it.
His explanations were so confusing that they left people completely bewildered.
He discovered that he could no longer understand not only what he read, but also what he heard...
Mo Qi looked at the bewildered expressions on the faces of the two people opposite him and felt somewhat helpless. However, considering that they were mortals without any foundation in cultivation, it wasn't surprising that they couldn't understand.
Without offering any further explanation, Mo Qi stroked his chin, feeling that Xie Wu's book had provided him with new ideas.
Previously, due to his physical limitations, he couldn't unleash much of his power. Even with his vast divine sense, he was restricted in many ways.
But when I was reading a book just now, I came across something about talismans, which reminded me of something.
Mo Qi rose through the ranks from a rogue cultivator, and the characteristic of rogue cultivators is that almost every one of them who manages to stand out is an all-rounder.
Whether it's weapon crafting, alchemy, or talisman drawing, they all know a little bit about it.
Needless to say, Mo Qi himself was highly proficient in all his skills, even if not all of them were exceptional. This included magic arrays and talisman drawing.
The limitations he was subject to could clearly be improved through magic arrays and talismans.
Thinking of this, Mo Qi was overjoyed and immediately went back to his room to study the talismans.
However, just as he was about to begin, he encountered a problem. In this world, there was no way he could find yellow paper and cinnabar. Mo Qi was also reluctant to use blood to paint.
Drawing talismans is fine, but if it hurts every time, then it's really unnecessary.
Fortunately, Mo Qi is easily satisfied. His divine sense is strong, and what he draws by hand should be enough in this place where there are no magical artifacts for cultivators.
After careful consideration, he found some ordinary paper and pen, infused his magic power into the pen, and with the aid of his divine sense, began to study and write various magic arrays and incantations.
He has many ways to protect himself, but his biggest concern is Mo Xiu's safety.
We need plenty of talismans to protect ourselves from attacks and ensure our survival, and we also need to consider the issue of collecting supplies on a daily basis. Carrying so many things around is heavy and troublesome.
He could try making some magic array talismans or similar items that could expand space and make things lighter, and put them on his backpack. This would make it much more convenient for Mo Xiu to carry things.
Unfortunately, the actual implementation was somewhat different from what I had in mind.
After Mo Qi took out the magic circle that could expand space and pasted it into his backpack, he originally wanted to create a space the size of a small warehouse.
When he finished making it, he used his divine sense to explore the space inside and found that it was less than half the size of a bathroom.
This gap left Mo Qi somewhat disappointed.
In a world where there is nothing, it's a hassle to make something good out of nothing!
After Mo Xiu entered the room, she saw Mo Qi looking unusually dejected.
He immediately went over and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or are you hungry again?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Qi shook his head and handed the backpack, which contained many things, to Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu was puzzled, but he still took the backpack. Inside were some food and their daily necessities, which he used frequently and was very familiar with.
But after receiving the backpack this time, Mo Xiu found that it seemed much lighter than he remembered.
"Um?"
The young man hesitated for a few moments, then opened the backpack to check its contents, finding that everything was there. In fact, the backpack, which should have been full, seemed to have extra space.
The backpack contained the same amount of stuff, but the space actually increased. Not only that, it also became lighter!
This was clearly illogical, so Mo Xiu immediately looked at Mo Qi, who had handed her the backpack, and asked, "What's going on?"
Mo Qi touched his nose and said with some dissatisfaction, "I put up a newly drawn array inside. I was thinking that you usually use this backpack to carry too little stuff, so I planned to expand the space a bit."
As a result, it only expanded slightly, but the weight was still manageable; it did indeed decrease in size.
"You're saying you made all of these? Formations? Talismans!" Mo Xiu felt that the other party was talking about a field she had no idea about at all, which was too fantastical and magical.
Although they are now in the apocalypse, aren't those formations and talismans things that only appear in cultivation novels?
How did you learn all this?
Mo Xiu exclaimed in surprise, but as soon as he spoke, he recalled the way Mo Qi looked through the book passed down from Xie Wu's ancestors. Not only could the other party understand it, but he could also explain its contents to them.
Could it be that Mo Qi is actually a cultivation genius?
