Chapter 23 Secret Technique

 "It smells so good!"

Yin Xianli opened the door first, then consciously took the food box from Shen Xisheng and placed it on the table.

After Shen Xisheng stepped into the room, he immediately closed the door and exhaled a white breath:

"Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold."

He brought chairs for the two of them, and he fell down on his favorite recliner and swayed slightly.

The two greedy cats laid out the food without ceremony, then started using their chopsticks, praising Shen Xisheng's craftsmanship while eating.

In fact, what he cooks is just some home-cooked food, which is not that amazing. It’s just that these two little guys love the house and the bird, so they like to eat it very much.

Three months have passed, and Chen Xiaoxiao has almost recovered from the previous grief. This girl Yin Xianli helped a lot during this period.

As a peer of the same age, Yin Xianli was more suitable to get into Chen Xiaoxiao's heart than she was. The little girl was already smart, and her observation and meticulous care soon made her relationship with Chen Xiaoxiao intimate.

It can be seen that she really likes this friend and is now working hard to be a good sister.

It's just that Yin Xianli acted coquettishly towards him more often than before, which gave Shen Xisheng a hint of a declaration of sovereignty.

This girl really shows unexpected exclusivity in some places.

Talking back to Chen Xiaoxiao, although this child was adopted by a mortal couple controlled by demon cultivators as a target to seize his body, he also developed proper etiquette.

After getting along with each other for a long time, I learned that the other party is an obedient and sensible child who is not afraid of things and is not reckless. She and Yin Xianli formed a pair of almost perfect sisters.

Two obedient and sensible daughters, double the happiness!

Shen Xisheng truly feels that he has a sense of accomplishment in being an old father.

After the meal, the two little guys spontaneously cleared the table and put the bowls and chopsticks in the food box.

"I'll return the food box."

Shen Xisheng returned all the borrowed things to the innkeeper in three strokes, and then began to discuss the future itinerary with the two little girls in the room.

He took out a map drawn on cowhide and spread it on the table, pointed at one of the places and said to the two of them:

"Originally, we were planning to go to Lidong City in three days, but the teacher inquired today and found out that there will be a snowstorm blowing on our way in about seven days.

The snowstorm in Beizhou is so severe that if you encounter a road that is almost impossible to walk, you may freeze to death halfway.

We definitely won’t be able to reach Lidong City in only four days, so we have to leave for Lidong City tomorrow in order to avoid the snowstorm, do you understand?”

"Got it!"

Yin Xianli and Chen Xiaoxiao answered in unison, and then Yin Xianli took the initiative to ask Shen Xisheng about the material reserves, acting like a little butler.

"Speaking of which, why is Beizhou so cold, teacher?"

Chen Xiaoxiao sniffed and asked Shen Xisheng.

When they first arrived in Beizhou by boat, they felt slightly cold, but the further north they went, the colder they became.

In this room, they were lying on a heated kang and wrapped in quilts. Even so, even if a bit of wind blew in from the window, it would be extremely cold.

Although I really want to talk about the concept of the North and South Pole, the laws of this world are really not the same as those of Blue Star.

Shen Xisheng complained secretly in his heart, and then answered for Chen Xiaoxiao:

"Mortals only know that Beizhou is severely cold but don't know why. It's no wonder, because Beizhou's climate is linked to the aura of heaven and earth.

I told you before that the aura of heaven and earth consists of the five basic attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the spiritual roots of monks also correspond to them.

And these five basic attributes will also be mixed into new attributes due to some coincidences, such as water and soil mutating into ice."

When Shen Xisheng said this, Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly realized it, and she continued what Shen Xisheng said:

"So the aura of heaven and earth in Beizhou has more water and earth, and ice-attribute aura is often mixed with it, so Beizhou is always cold, right?"

"That's right."

Shen Xisheng subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch Chen Xiaoxiao's head, when he suddenly felt an electric gaze.

He quickly realized who the owner of his gaze was, and quickly gave Chen Xiaoxiao a thumbs-up with his outstretched hand, and then withdrew his electric gaze.

Yin Xianli, this little kitten, is too protective of its food, right?

Shen Xisheng calmly glanced at Yin Xianli who acted like nothing happened, and couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.

After playing with the two little girls, Shen Xisheng began to help them fall asleep:

"It's getting late, it's almost time to go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow and go on your way, but don't doze off on the road."

There are two beds in the room he wants, and he doesn't worry about the two little ones sleeping too tightly.

After the two of them fell asleep, Shen Xisheng began to silently browse the system store on the recliner.

He has not had any income from causal points recently. Currently, he has more than 900 causal points in his hand. If he uses them all to improve his cultivation, he still cannot be promoted.

And based on the current situation in Beizhou, it's not enough to only increase his strength by one or two levels during this Qi refining period.

After staying here for a while, Shen Xisheng finally understood why it took several years for the demon cultivator he met in Zhongzhou to escape from Beizhou.

Here, an ordinary snowstorm can trap even the monks in the Qi refining stage. Although they will not freeze to death, their movements will be greatly hindered.

In other words, if you want to move more freely in Beizhou, you must at least have the strength to build a foundation.

Since he couldn't quickly improve his cultivation in a short period of time, Shen Xisheng could only look in the system store for any secret techniques that could temporarily improve his strength.

He checked it carefully and found that those secret techniques either cost too much, or the improvement effect was not enough. He finally found something that could be seen, but he couldn't afford it.

It’s so difficult~

After looking through it for an unknown amount of time, Shen Xisheng finally found a secret technique that he was relatively satisfied with.

[Burn the body with blood and fire]: A secret technique that forcibly enhances strength by burning one's own longevity.

Special effect: After using it, you will be ignited by blood and fire, and you can control the blood and fire to ignite others.

Price: 500 causal points.

If you look at this secret technique alone, the cost is actually quite high. It is almost unaffordable for others to directly burn longevity energy. Even if it has special effects, it is not worth the gain.

But for Shen Xisheng, this price is within an acceptable range. After all, as long as there are causal points, he can be reincarnated and start a new life.

Although Shen Xisheng can practice cultivation in this life, the upper limit is stuck there. His biggest wish at the moment is to send the two girls to Yuhan Palace.

Now that we have arrived in Beizhou, there is still hope for reaching Yuhan Palace within three years. It is still very worthwhile for Shen Xisheng to redeem this secret technique as insurance.

After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Xisheng finally made up his mind to redeem the secret technique of [Burning with Blood and Fire].
