Chapter 251: Seizing the Fortune of Heaven and Earth for Your Own Use

"Uncle Junior Master, can you find the "Impermanent Military Book"?"

After flying dozens of miles away from the mountain village, Bian Qiuyan couldn't help but send a message to inquire.

Xu Yuan smiled and nodded, and said in a voice transmission: "Thanks to Qiu Yan's help, I was able to successfully find the descendants of the Zhushan Chang family and find this rare book. I will remember this favor."

He did not talk about merit, but about human relationships.

Merits can be repaid with spirit coins as rewards, and it will be a fair and impartial matter. The amount is up to him, and he is not short of money.

Favors must be repaid with favors. They are harder to repay than merits and are much more valuable.

Bian Qiuyan would not have the audacity to ask to read a military book, as she was not that curious.

She was not a military practitioner, so it was useless for her to read it. She smiled and said, "Young Master is too polite. I am just running errands and trying my best. We are not polite to each other." Then she asked, "Where are we going?"

"Go back to Fengxian City and stay there for two days. Senior Brother Wu sent a message the day before yesterday saying that our case of killing the rebels has been completely concluded and the reward can be distributed at any time. He will send his men to make a trip when it is convenient for us."

Xu Yuanchang smiled and took out the communication talisman. He recited a few words silently and sent it into the air: "I'll tell Senior Brother Wu that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will be convenient."

He was relieved and happy that he was able to successfully complete the task entrusted by Mr. Chang in less than a month.

In fact, the "Impermanence Military Book" was in the white jade slip, and he always carried it with him.

Chang Wuhui once said that he could read the military books as he pleased, or pass them on to suitable cultivators so that his life's work would not be buried. The several techniques and secret manuals left in the white jade slips could only be practiced by the descendants of the Chang family, and there were certain requirements.

The Impermanence Token that Chang Wuhui gave him contained a blood restriction.

He watched Elder Chang use his magic power to carve and make it look old, as if it were child's play, and said it was a keepsake.

He has already confessed Zhu Zunquan and Zhu Zongshan.

Within three years, regardless of whether you have achieved success in your studies or not, you must come to Bailin Valley in Qingping County.

The benefits cannot be given all at once, but should be given slowly and over a long period of time to live up to the trust of Mr. Chang.

The next afternoon, Xu Yuanchang and Bian Qiuyan waited in the capital for the cultivator sent by Senior Brother Wu. After some polite greetings, they each signed their names and received the sealed jade box.

Xu Yuanchang had already boxed and sealed a jade slip of "Impermanence Military Book" that he had transcribed with his spiritual consciousness, and asked the visitor to take it to Deputy Mountain Master Wu.

During the communication, he told Senior Brother Wu the origin of the military book and asked Senior Brother Wu to pass it on to the holy land of military strategists, Mount Bushai.

Chang Wuhui once said that military books are dead things. Different people have different understandings and feelings when studying them. The key to their application lies in the sudden change of thoughts and should not be applied mechanically.

Xu Yuanchang hopes that the military book can play a role and be helpful on future battlefields.

Minimizing losses is a great achievement.

After seeing off the two guests, they returned to the main hall of the guest house. Under the instigation of Liu Xianfeng with shining eyes, Bian Qiuyan wiped off the seal of the jade box. Ten crystal stones were neatly placed inside, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

"A lot of big bucks."

Liu Xianfeng was born to like all kinds of jewels and precious objects. She pursed her lips and looked at the jade box that Brother Xu took out.

Xu Yuanchang saw the cute and impatient look of the little tree, and handed the box to him: "How about you open it?"

"Great, great, I'm always lucky, let's go for the big one."

Liu Xianfeng took the box with great joy and spoke in the tone of a little gambler. He removed the seal, quietly opened a corner of the box to take a peek, then ran away laughingly like the wind while holding the box.

"Thirty big coins, I'll keep them for a few days."

In the blink of an eye, the shadow disappeared and the voice floated over from the backyard.

Xu Yuanchang smiled and replied, "It's up to you. If you see anything good, just buy it. Don't be stingy."

Senior Brother Wu told him that task rewards have been relaxed in various places, and making money is much easier than before.

"Sister Xianfeng still has a childlike innocence, which makes people really envious."

Bian Qiuyan envied Liu Xianfeng's carefree and energetic life, but it was a pity that she could not go back to the past. She had gone through so much and her state of mind was no longer the same. She was the only one who knew her gains and losses. She asked, "Uncle Junior Master, how many days can you stay in the capital?"

Xu Yuanchang said: "If you have something to do, just go and do it. You don't have to accompany us all the time. When you are free and want to go out for a walk, you can come to Bailin Valley as a guest to change your mood."

He knew clearly that what Bian Qiuyan wanted was to find inspiration and then break through and advance.

He recognized Bian Qiuyan's personality and approach, so he took the initiative to invite him.

During the practice, karma arises and disappears, and one should follow one's heart.

Bian Qiuyan smiled and said, "I will go to Bailin Valley to bother you for a while after I finish the two things I have to do." He raised his voice and said, "Sister Xianfeng, are you welcome?"

She said that on purpose.

As a thoughtful person as she was, she had long noticed that Liu Xianfeng seemed to have a prejudice against her.

"Okay, the vegetable field in Bailin Valley has been abandoned for a long time. It would be a pity to waste it. Sister Bian, can you grow vegetables?"

"I've never grown vegetables before, but I can learn. Please teach me, Sister Xianfeng."

"The young master knows how to grow vegetables. He taught Sister Yu before."

"Then I'll have to trouble Junior Master."

The two women talked across the air, the masters fought each other, and they reached a tacit understanding in a few words.

After staying in the capital for two days, Xu Yuanchang used his status to purchase a lot of third-level materials from the Sitian Palace. He and Liu Xianfeng spent five leisurely days together and returned to Bailin Valley.

The next day, when they went to their eldest brother's house for a small gathering, Xu Yuanchang examined Danwa. Apart from the fact that his spirit and blood were stronger than before, he did not find anything abnormal. He also did not see that Danwa had the potential for cultivation. Instead, he became much quieter.

"Old Three, after Danwa recovered from his illness, the sun rose from the west. He started to like reading. He took out the enlightenment book that he had kept at the bottom of the box and sat quietly for a long time. He didn't run out to play with others. In a few days, he could memorize a book."

After Xu Dazhui waited for the child to leave, he lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously, with an uncontrollable joy on his face.

Except for cultivating immortality, everything else is inferior, only reading is superior.

The family had land and money, and had become a well-known and prominent family in the village. Xu Dazhu hoped that one of his grandchildren would be a scholar, bringing honor to the family.

Xu Yuanchang smiled calmly and said, "That's good. He likes reading. I'll send him to a private school to continue his studies."

He then used his spiritual sense to ask the rabbit, and a rumbling sound echoed in the space of the Fantasy Fairy Ring.

"Friend Li, you are very knowledgeable. Could you please give me an explanation?"

"What are you doing? Can't you let me sleep?"

The rabbit hadn't been seen for some time. He came out from his crystal nest, showing his two rabbit teeth. He looked a little proud. Behind him was a petite black rabbit, which was obedient in everything he said.

"This is a great thing. Your nephew has turned a disaster into a blessing. His physique is compatible with the energy left by that unlucky god. You will slowly return the remaining residual soul energy to him so that he can achieve a natural god body. He won't have to go through a lot of trouble to learn magic in the future, and he won't need to borrow power like those who become gods through incense. He can use the power he has cultivated to perform magic, and his achievements will be limitless."

After giving the explanation casually, Rabbit did not forget to take credit and said, "Xu Xiaoyou, you should thank me for my guidance, which has helped your nephew achieve his goal. Just give me three or five third-level fantasy stones as a reward. I won't be picky."

Xu Yuanchang really wanted to thank the rabbit.

Not making things clear beforehand, but still wanting to do good things afterwards, you shameless rabbit,
"In his case, are there any other hidden dangers?" "Absolutely not. The Creation Altar has the magical power to seize the destiny of heaven and earth. It is impossible for the god to have any residual consciousness or obsession left. The rest is pure essence. After absorbing it, it will not affect the nature of your nephew's soul."

The rabbit felt tired. He couldn't see it with his own eyes, so he had to judge entirely by "listening".

It is inevitable that some situations are beyond his expectations.

Xu Yuanchang perfunctorily talked about his elder brother's topic and communicated with the rabbit with his spiritual consciousness. He also believed that the energy refined by the Creation Divine Platform would not have any residual consciousness of the gods. He felt relieved and continued to ask, "Is it good for his growth if I keep the egg baby with me and teach him by example all the time?"

The rabbit secretly breathed a sigh of relief, having finally fooled the shrewd and difficult little Taoist priest.

Hearing this, he curled his lips and showed contempt on his face. This kid also had his moments of confusion. He said, "Master Xu Yuan, you are worried about this and that. Aren't you tired? Do you still want to cultivate yourself?
"Everyone has their own fate. You have done your best to help this young generation enter the spiritual realm. Letting him practice with you, do you think you understand the Shinto practice method? It will only hinder his path to spiritual practice and harm him."

The rabbit saw the opportunity and scolded the Taoist priest mercilessly.

The depression is gone, the mind is clear, it feels so good!

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Please teach me, I was overthinking."

He listened to the reason, but also realized that the rabbit was taking advantage of the situation to scold him, so he wrote it down in his notebook first.

After a period of time, Xu Yuanchang resumed his previous practice life.

Every day, he grows vegetables, fetches water, and cooks. In addition to his morning and evening homework, he practices the mountain spirit facing the southern ridge, concentrates the mountain's will and power, nourishes his own wood energy, studies and practices the ascending wood dragon seal, sharpens his illusionary mind, practices the great fighting technique to sense the power of heaven and earth, and so on.

Take some time to draw a few talismans or write a few phantom words in unique forms.

Life is leisurely, comfortable and fulfilling, living in this mortal world without any worldly worries.

Watching the fireworks of the world, a cup of tea does not care about birth, old age, sickness and death.

His practice came from complexity, and he found his way forward in complexity.

For some truths, just follow your own heart.

Don't listen to what others say about important matters.

By the end of October, Xu Yuanchang felt that he had eliminated the subtle effects of practicing too quickly. He began to compile the book "Basics of Array Calculation" and also put the practice of the Five Elements magic on the agenda.

Occasionally, villagers would come to ask for help, and Liu Xianfeng would go out with dogs, bugs and toads to catch ghosts and eliminate evil spirits to accumulate merit.

Xu Yuan made a long trip to Dengxian Temple, discussed with the temple master, selected several five-element spells that were suitable for him, and then returned to Bailin Valley to practice in the order of wind, thunder, earth, gold and water.

With his current level of cultivation and state of mind, learning the basic Five Elements Technique was a piece of cake.

The five elements are mutually generated and restrained, and the five elements technique can be deduced from the previous one.

In less than a month, he had mastered several basic spells.

He did not seek to master every Five Elements Technique as if it were his own special skill. He was preparing for a breakthrough to the Qi Transformation Realm in the future and to replenish his own Five Elements Qi. Every practitioner of the Third Level must go through this stage.

It is extremely difficult for any independent cultivator who does not understand to reach the Qi Transformation Realm.

"Bullshit, we didn't have so many rigid rules back then, let alone the nonsense of 'the five elements are in order, and they vary from person to person'. Any magic spell assisted by a technique, as long as one had a good brain, could help one achieve immortality. The only difference was whether it was difficult or not."

Inside the Fantasy Fairy Ring, the rabbit was lying on its crystal nest, with its legs crossed, enjoying the massage of the female ghost comfortably.

He sneered at Taoist Xu's arguments and treated them with disdain.

"Old Li, your era is different from ours. It's all your fault for being extravagant and wasting too many resources. Now we have to be frugal and scrimp on our money when cultivating."

Xu Yuanchang responded with a fierce attack.

The wastefulness of previous generations is the cause, and the frugality of later generations is the result.

When people are poor, they tend to seek change. Later generations, when forced into a corner, figured out some rules of survival of the fittest.

The rabbit sneered even louder, saying, "You are begging for food with a golden bowl in your hand. You have a treasure that is unparalleled in the world, but you are suspicious of everything and have to rely on your strength to live like a beggar. Who can you blame?"

Xu Yuanchang was not annoyed. He was used to the rabbit's sarcasm and asked, "Using the Creation Altar to refine the materials and treasures in hand, there is no five elements to consider? Anything is fine?"

The rabbit thought seriously for a moment and said, "You can try to use the five elements sequence, refining from low level to high level."

"understood."

Xu Yuanchang inquired in detail about the process of refining the phantom armor so that he had a complete understanding of it.

He sat quietly for half an hour, adjusting his condition to the best.

He took out two egg-sized third-order wood blue stones purchased from the Sitian Temple and casually threw them into the Creation Altar in the ring space, away from the center.

The wooden material, which was as hard as a magic weapon, silently turned into a pool of dark green liquid as the light on the surface of the Creation Altar fluctuated.

The light on the altar spread out in a very regular pattern like ripples, circulating endlessly in circles, refining the dark green liquid into a thin layer as paper, making it transparent and clear.

"Almost done. Try to collect the wood essence of the materials."

The rabbit flew in the air, staring at the increasingly scarce liquid on the table, and gave a warning.

He had no experience and could only check the heat by feel.

At most, it’s just a waste of two stones. The little Taoist priest’s ability to make money is second to none.

Xu Yuanchang was fully focused and waited for two more breaths. He used his spiritual consciousness to slowly extract the wood and metal essences that had been "refined into nothingness" by the Divine Platform of Creation. He took them out from the ring space one strand at a time and wrapped them around his body surface.

The cool invisible air entered his body, and Xu Yuanchang didn't notice anything wrong.

When he had drained the metal liquid from the altar until it was dark and dry, almost losing its luster, Rabbit urged, "Leave me some leftovers, throw them to me, Uncle Xu."

Xu Yuanchang used his spiritual sense to send all the remaining thin residues to the rabbit.

The rabbit could not wait to swallow the dark green ashes in one gulp and went into the crystal stone nest. The black rabbit transformed by the female ghost followed in diligently to serve, but was kicked out by the rabbit without mercy.

Go sleep outside, I'm very busy.

Xu Yuanchang was also very busy. He sat cross-legged without moving, urging his breath to circulate, warming and refining the invisible essence of qi that he had collected.

Half an hour later, the unique wood energy was initially refined by him.

It is about the width of a little finger, can appear on the surface of the body, is invisible and intangible, and hovers endlessly.

Xu Yuanchang clearly noticed that his cultivation had improved a little.

It is truly magical to seize the fortune of heaven and earth and use it for your own benefit.

By the time he has refined the phantom armor, I wonder if he can advance to the peak of the late Qi Transformation Realm?
He is not sure if there are any disadvantages?

PS: I have seen the criticisms and suggestions. Lao Yan said "sorry" and made a patch at the beginning of this chapter.

I often write until after 1 a.m., when I am exhausted and very sleepy. I don’t have time to check too much, which leads to omissions. Writing a book is a marathon. Thank you all for your continued support!
