Chapter 2: The Magic of the Great Puppet

Gao Xian heaved a sigh of relief only after Shopkeeper Zhu and his companions had gone far away.

"These two are such ruthless people, you're so brave to play with them..."

Not far from the gate stood a skinny old man, smiling and making sarcastic remarks.

The old man's Taoist bun was messy, his eyes were dark, his face was pale, and his black Taoist robe was covered with greasy wine stains. He looked like an old pervert who was addicted to alcohol and sex.

Gao Xian suddenly remembered that this old man was his next-door neighbor. His surname was Wang and his hobby was to go to brothels and drink wine.

"A dishonest old Deng!"

Gao Xian didn't want to have anything to do with such a person, so he just pretended not to hear.

When Old Wang saw Gao Xian's honest look, he became even more proud and grinned evilly.

Gao Xian closed the gate, locking Lao Wang and his laughter outside, and hurried back to his room.

Gao Xian took out the "Essentials of Alchemy" from the Taoist books left by the original owner and flipped through them. Although Manager Zhu was easy to talk to, alchemy was the foundation of his life. He must master the technique of alchemy as soon as possible! Since the original owner knew how to make alchemy, maybe he would remember how to make it if he read more.

After watching for a while, Gao Xian felt dizzy.

He knew every word in this book, but when they were put together he became confused and had no idea which was which.

This reminded him of his experience in studying advanced mathematics.

Gao Xian put the book down helplessly. This thing really couldn't be mastered by just brute force.

He sat on the bed and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any solution.

A little black cat jumped onto the bed and meowed twice at Gao Xian.

"Are you hungry?"

Gao Xian touched the little black cat's head lovingly. This little thing is really cute.

After spending a few days together, Gao Xian could already roughly understand the kitten's thoughts.

If a kitten wants to be petted, it will wag its tail and meow more softly. If it is hungry, its meow will be sharper and it will not wag its tail.

Getting out of bed, Gao Xian went to the kitchen next door to wash rice and cook.

The rice grains are green in color, the size of peanuts, and have a faint jade-like crystal texture.

This kind of rice is called Jade Spirit Rice. It contains rich spiritual energy and is very expensive.

One low-grade spirit stone can only buy ten kilograms.

This is the lowest grade of spiritual rice.

The original owner was an alchemist, and he was able to make a good living with his alchemy skills.

The family has stored half a jar of green jade rice. There is also some monster meat. Well, it is hidden in the cellar in the yard. The temperature there is very low, so the meat can be preserved for a long time.

At least for the time being, there is no need to worry about food and drink.

Gao Xian has also gotten used to the life of a cultivator in the past few days and has become skilled at making fire and cooking.

The cooking stove was made of bricks and the pot was a big iron pot, the same kind of pot used in farmhouses to stew geese, only more crude.

Gao Xian chanted a few mantras, made a seal with his hand, and a flame about a foot long came out from his fingertips, and the firewood in the stove was quickly ignited.

Gao Xian still felt excited every time he used fire control. This was a spell, not a deceptive magic trick! Fire control was not very powerful, it was just like carrying a large lighter with you. This was it, and it completely broke Gao Xian's common sense of physics in his previous life.

It was also the fire control technique that made Gao Xian realize that this was a real world of cultivators, and that the cultivators all possessed powerful powers...

In this respect, this place is a hundred times more dangerous than the United States where everyone has a gun.

After traveling to this world, it seems that he can't go back, whether he wants to or not.

Middle-aged office workers who have suffered a lot from the social abuses have long learned to accept reality.

To use the old saying, "Everything is the best arrangement!"

Gao Xian is able to live a happy life despite having no merits because he is open-minded.

Now he no longer thought about refining the elixir, and concentrated on cutting the monster meat into pieces and frying it, then adding water, rice and salt to prepare making the delicious pilaf.

The big iron pot is fixed on the stove and is only suitable for steaming, boiling and stewing. This way it is very convenient to serve the food together.

After a while, the aroma of meat filled the air.

The little black cat meowed on the stove, but didn't dare to get too close.

Lifting the rough wooden lid of the pot, Gao Xian saw that the green jade rice was originally large in size, and after absorbing the water it expanded several times. It filled a large wooden basin with it.

He took out a stoneware bowl and gave a small portion to the little black cat.

Gao Xian ate up the remaining rice and meat in one go.

I have to say, the green jade rice is really delicious, and the meat of the monster is even more delicious.

After eating, not only the taste buds and stomach are satisfied, but the spiritual energy in the body is also warm and unusually full, which is indescribably comfortable.

Gao Xian burped. If it weren't for the shopkeeper Zhu and his wife causing trouble, this simple yet fulfilling life could simply be called happy.

He stroked the little black cat that was busy gnawing at its meat and said softly, "Eat more. You won't miss home when you're full..."

The little black cat meowed twice, not sure if it was responding to Gao Xian or just enjoying the meal.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Gao Xian felt drowsy due to the abundant spiritual energy in his body.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Gao Xian forced himself to be strong and took out the Mirror of Love and Lust again.

This time he looked at the other side of the mirror.

The Mirror of Love and Lust has two sides, one side can reflect his appearance and his various abilities.

There is a woman in the other mirror.

The woman had a pretty face and was wearing a bright red dress with a front buttoned collar and a length that reached her chest.

The texture of the skirt is soft and somewhat transparent, allowing you to vaguely see the woman's snow-white skin and graceful figure.

The key is that this woman looks like his first love, and also a bit like his colleague Sister Lan, a generous and sexy young woman.

Well, these two people look alike! But in terms of temperament, one is pure and the other is charming, which is very different.

There is also a difference in body shape. The young woman is not fat, and her fair and tender skin reveals the plump and smooth beauty unique to young women.

First love, she has a slender figure, tight skin, and the youthful vitality unique to girls.

The woman in the mirror was pure and domineering, possessing the best of both worlds. However, her manners and expressions were all seductive, and she looked a little unruly.

Gao Xian studied it for a few days, and for convenience, he called the woman Sister Lan.

He discovered that Sister Lan was actually alive. Not a living person, but one who could interact with him... well, like an advanced interactive intelligent program.

Gao Xian reached out and tapped Sister Lan gently.

In the mirror, Sister Lan raised her head and gave Gao Xian a charming smile, and at the same time, a piece of text appeared on the mirror.

Matters of love and romance are the best and most beautiful things in the world.

If you have a romantic temperament and see the beauty of wind and moon, you can obtain the ultimate truth.

Humane Aura: 335.

Secret Techniques: Electric Photovoltaic Dragon Hands, Great Puppet Magic.

Electric Light Dragon Hand: When performing certain fixed simple movements, the hand speed is extremely fast, and the hand contains the power of electric light, which will give the contactor a wonderful stimulation when it is activated. (Mastery 188/300)

The Great Puppetry Divine Method: The heart feels the inner, the spirit descends the outer. The high and the low are connected, the two Qis coincidentally become gods. Thirty years of delusion and obsession condense into a point of true spirit, with endless magical uses. (Expert 321/400)

When Gao Xian read this text for the first time, he felt very ashamed and even a little angry.

Needless to say, there is the electric photovoltaic dragon hand.

The great method of idol magic was clearly a mockery of his fantasies of beauties and treating all the teachers as his wives.

It's simply slander. He is a quiet and honest middle-aged man who has never done anything bad. Damn, think about it and you're still wrong!

Gao Xian can actually tolerate this, but the problem is that it is useless! Human spiritual light can only enhance the abilities on the other side of the mirror, and is completely useless for abilities such as alchemy.

He had a feeling that Sister Lan should be able to play a role! But he still needed to study how to use it...

However, how come the Human Spiritual Light seems to have increased by a few points? 　Let me tell you that the new book will be updated twice a day, one at noon and one in the afternoon. The most important thing for the new book now is to follow the data. I urge everyone to take a look every day 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
