Chen Li suddenly trembled and woke up from his sleep. He opened his eyes suddenly and realized that he had just breathed out in a dream, and his throbbing heartbeat gradually slowed down.
"How could you have such a dream?"
He touched his forehead and the sweat on his hands.
"I actually had an inexplicable dream about the terrifying figure I met during my migration."
"Do you think about it during the day and dream about it at night?"
"still……"
Chen Li frowned.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Hong asked sleepily.
"It's okay, I just had a dream, you can continue to sleep!"
"Yeah!" Zhou Hong closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep again.
However, Chen Li was so disturbed by this nightmare that he could no longer sleep. He simply got up from the bed and put on his clothes.
He walked to the kitchen to get water from the water tank, took a towel, and washed his face.
Then go to the Talisman Making Room and light the oil lamp.
He looked at the jumping flames and was stunned for a while. It took him a while to come back to his senses.
This nightmare was so terrifying that it directly struck the most terrifying existence in his heart.
Even now I'm still a little shocked.
He thought for a moment and took out the talisman skin, blood ink and talisman-making pen.
Then he picked up the pen, dipped it in blood ink, calmed down, and drew twelve evil talismans in succession.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it!" he murmured to himself.
Obviously it is affected by the daytime.
…
However, stimulated by this nightmare, Chen Li went to the Talisman Shop of the Changsheng Sect early in the morning. With his little savings, he bought ten evil-breaking talismans, and then continued to draw them for seven or eight days.
After collecting a hundred evil talismans, he stopped.
So much so that you can find evil talismans in every corner of your home.
At the same time, he also began to focus on strengthening the practice of palm thunder.
Ever since he encountered that terrifying evil spirit during his migration, Chen Li had been haunted by this evil thing. Even the second-level monsters were not as scary to him as this evil thing.
The thunder in the palm of the thunder method has the effect of destroying evil spirits. Although it is slightly different from the same level of evil spirits in terms of restraining evil spirits, it is not far behind.
…
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
In the basement, there is light and darkness.
Like thunder suddenly appearing, the roar of thunder in the palm is deafening.
A first-level and fourth-level technique, for Chen Li who has already practiced Qi at the seventh level, the consumption of spiritual energy is no longer worth mentioning. Now after practicing it intensively, in just a few days, this technique has gradually become more powerful.
Approaching master level.
"Snapped!"
Each lightning bolt is slightly strengthened.
"Snapped!"
Each cast is faster than the last.
"Snapped!"
The three-syllable incantation has almost become one, and the coordination of the spiritual power in the body has gradually become instinctive.
Now it only takes half a second to activate a palm thunder.
"Snapped!"
Chen Li suddenly felt something in his heart.
Stopped.
He looks at the game board.
Sure enough, Palm Thunder has advanced to the master level.
"The power is equivalent to a first-level and sixth-level spell...it's better than nothing!"
Chen Li looked at it and saw that he still needed to practice 1,600 times before reaching the master level. As for reaching the top, he would need to practice another 3,200 times, adding up to a total of 4,800 times.
"If you put aside the consumption of spiritual energy on other spells and talismans and specialize in one, it will only take three months at most..." Chen Li thought about it and gave up this irrational approach:
"Forget it, I've been a little crazy these days, so I'll just do it step by step. What's more, even if I practice it to the top, it's only as powerful as an eighth-level spell. It may not be as powerful as an evil-destroying talisman to deal with evil spirits."
"It's no wonder that not many people practice magic. It's really convenient and fast to use talismans. It can also be used across levels. As long as there are enough spiritual stones, even a monk in the early stage of Qi training can use advanced talismans to fight against enemies."
Of course, the Palm Thunder is not as effective against evil spirits as the Evil-Breaking Talisman.
Doesn't mean it's useless.
Compared with the evil-busting talisman that specializes in magic, the palm thunder is much more comprehensive, and has huge lethality against monsters, evil spirits, and people.
A level six spell with almost instantaneous effects of breaking spells, breaking evil, and freezing.
It is a terror to any enemy.
Chen Li took a Qi-tonifying pill to slowly restore his spiritual power, pulled out the sword stuck on the side, and began to practice swordsmanship.
…
Time passes day by day.
Chen Li has always lived a peaceful life, living a fulfilling life every day. In addition to Zhang Shuniang running to his house every three days, Bai Jinwang also comes to visit from time to time. After these days of recuperation, the old man has recovered a lot.
He is no longer skinny and bones when he first met. There is more flesh on the body and cheeks, and his face is much rosier.spanstyle>谷/spanstyle>
But the white hair and old body will never go back.
…
"Oh, this is fate!" Bai Jinwang sighed.
This sentence has become his recent mantra.
It can be seen that this time it was a big blow to him.
Seeing that Chen Li didn't take it seriously, Bai Jinwang said: "Don't believe in fate. Look at how many casual cultivators there are in Luanluo City. They add up to at least 60,000 to 70,000. Not to mention the later stage of Qi training, let's talk about the ninth level of Qi training.
There are hundreds of them, right? Even if they reach Qi-training perfection, there will be several every year, but how many will ultimately be able to build the foundation?
Let me tell you, the last time I heard about someone building a foundation was five years ago, and there was only one in five years, and he was a disciple of the Changsheng Sect."
Chen Li was surprised when he heard this: "Why are there so few?"
"Hey, there are so few! This is the disaster of foundation building. As long as you enter the ninth level of Qi training, you will encounter disasters inexplicably, as if the world has rejected you, or you encounter natural disasters or man-made disasters. Even if you are lucky, you can survive until you practice.
Qi Perfect prepared to attack the foundation, but it basically ended in failure. I didn't believe it before, but now I have to believe it." Bai Jinwang said with wide eyes.
This was the first time Chen Li heard this statement.
He shook his head and said: "This is a bit nonsense. I think you are crazy, blaming your last encounter with evil spirits on an illusory fate."
"Believe it or not, you will understand it when you get to my level." Bai Jinwang was not angry when he heard this, and sighed: "Forget it, let's not talk about these spoilers. I have no hope in this life. I
What I regret most now is that I didn’t leave any descendants earlier.”
"It's not too late now. Eighty-year-old mortals can give birth to offspring. Could it be that you are..."
"How is that possible!" Bai Jinwang blew his beard and stared, stood up tremblingly, and said angrily: "Let's go and hook up the fence together, I want you to see how powerful I am! I'm not bragging..."
"Brother, don't be so excited, I believe it, can't you believe it?" Chen Li suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and quickly interrupted.
Really?
When your body is so weak, how can you still boast and show off?
Aren't you afraid that your bones will be sucked out by those female cultivators who know evil secret arts, and your marrow will be sucked out, and you will die on your belly?
"Your expression clearly shows disbelief!" Bai Jinwang had just touched his butt on the seat, and immediately stood up: "Huh, no more chatting, no more chatting, it's really boring to chat with you!"
After saying that, he left angrily.
Chen Li had no choice but to send him out.
Oh, it hurts people's self-esteem.
He understood this. He was obviously a middle-aged man not long ago, but he became an old man in the blink of an eye. His mentality has obviously not been completely changed, so he is inevitably sensitive to this aspect.
After some time, you should be able to accept the reality.
…
Unexpectedly, only seven days have passed.
A wedding invitation was sent to Chen Li.
"Are you getting married?" Chen Li looked surprised.
This efficiency is also too high.
It's only been a few days.
Zhang Jinwang was quite satisfied with Chen Li's attitude. He stroked his long beard and said proudly: "Whether it's a concubine or three at once, whoever gives birth to a child in the future will be taken as his wife."
three...
Chen Li opened his mouth, not afraid of ruining his old bones!
This old man doesn’t cultivate!
Legs!
Because it is a concubine, everything is kept simple.
Three days later, the wedding banquet was held. All the neighbors and Bai Jinwang's relatives and friends came. There were three tables in total.
The three concubines are all ladies from the secular world. Each of them is sixteen or seventeen years old, exuding a strong youthful atmosphere. They are about the same age as Zhang Shuniang. They look even more delicate and charming when set off by a red auspicious dress.
flowery.
"Brother Bai is so lucky. These three beautiful concubines are like flowers and jade. They will enjoy all the blessings in the future. Come, let me toast you." A friend of Bai Jinwang raised his glass with a smile.
Bai Jinwang laughed, raised his glass and drank it in one gulp: "Today is my big day, everyone eat and drink well, don't be polite."
He seemed to have lost his temper. As long as someone offered a toast, he would not refuse them until the glass was dry.
Wine does not intoxicate people, but people get intoxicated themselves. After a while, the feeling of drunkenness will appear on the face.
"Hey, brother Jin Wang, don't drink. Otherwise, how can we perform the ritual of human relations when the time comes?" one of his friends advised.
The crowd burst into laughter.
"I'm happy today, so I must drink to my heart's content. Drink! Why do you look down on me, my brother?" Bai Jinwang said drunkenly, holding up his wine glass.
The man had no choice but to raise his glass and drink it all.
Before the banquet was over, Bai Jinwang had already slipped under the table, sat on the floor and kept mumbling. Finally, everyone had to call out the three concubines and let them help them back to the room to rest.
…
"Baidaoyou doesn't seem to be that happy on this big day." Zhou Hong said after returning home.
"Alas, his path has been cut off, and he has aged so much and lost so many years of his life out of thin air. Although he doesn't usually show it, he is actually feeling depressed in his heart. How can he just let it go and force a smile?"
Chen Li said.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, a decrepit old man, has already taken three concubines. Why don't you take a concubine too? I wouldn't mind." Zhou Hong suddenly said.
Chen Li smiled and said: "What are you thinking about? I only have you!"
He hugged Zhou Hong and said: "He has no hope for the rest of his life and only wants to continue the family line. But I am different. I still have energy. I am always so busy. Sometimes I can't even take care of you. How can I have time to deal with other people."
Zhou Hong felt sweet in her heart as she leaned into her man's arms.
I thought to myself, it’s better to be busy.
Otherwise, with the virtue of his own man and the money on hand.
You can't check the fence every day.
It’s okay to go, the key is hurting your body.
She even suspected that the reason why Chen Li's cultivation had been stagnant in the past was because of those witches who knew evil secret arts in Goulan.
