Chapter 143

After Chu Tianshu delivered meals a few times, he found that he didn't see the principal.

He took a thermos and looked around, finding the principal in the quiet room covered with canvas.

"What is the principal doing?"

"The killing intent on this canvas has been exhausted by you; if you continue to hang it here and let the wind and snow blow, the canvas might deform, and the characters might also go out of shape."

Feng Jianhua sighed lightly, muttering while rolling up those paintings.

Chu Tianshu observed and found that although Feng Jianhua wouldn't be like before, with dry skin dander appearing, his lips were still chapped.

"Principal, I got some hot water, drink some more."

Feng Jianhua saw the thermos, hiccuped, hurriedly straightened his waist, and used his hand to stroke from his collarbone to his stomach.

"Don't, I poured down a lot of water as soon as I came back, already to the point of being unable to digest."

Feng Jianhua said, "Although my internal energy also helps to convert moisture, the intensity of dehydration caused by practicing energy still exceeds my efficiency in replenishing water."

"Water is up to my throat, but I still feel thirsty; I can only wait for myself to slowly recuperate and recover over these few months."

Chu Tianshu pondered: "The principal's internal energy strength is quite good, the internal energy is very pure; your internal energy secret manual is the best one in the Golden Blade Martial School, can I learn it?"

"I can exchange it with other secret manuals."

Feng Jianhua shook his head: "This is my martial school; the few students who learned the 'Hate Heaven Skill' before didn't exchange it with anything particularly valuable."

"But based on their cultivation progress, knowing that this cultivation method is incomplete and has flaws later, they still couldn't touch that stage for a long time; if they were willing to learn this first when they were young, I let them learn it."

"And if you cultivate this skill, I'm afraid it won't be long before you touch the flaws; even if you can switch to cultivation while you're young, isn't it just tossing yourself for nothing?"

The old principal said, "I can recommend you to the Special Capture Division to get a high-level secret manual; based on your performance this time, if you give up the bonus, it's enough to exchange for a good internal energy skill."

Chu Tianshu pondered a little and asked: "How good can it be? Is the grade definitely higher than the Hate Heaven Skill?"

"This..."

Feng Jianhua said, "Even with flaws, the Hate Heaven Skill still belongs to the contemporary top level; among the internal energy skills that can be collected in the Special Capture Division, the quality of internal energy of this skill should be called number one, but you have Huang Ya True Qi, so cultivating other internal energy skills, the quality will also be higher than normal."

Chu Tianshu said immediately: "Then what if I cultivate the Hate Heaven Skill with Huang Ya True Qi?"

Feng Jianhua laughed: "You kid are really stubborn about this martial art, aren't you?"

Chu Tianshu said: "I'm just curious, want to see it. For a young person like me, curiosity is always particularly strong; if I can't see it, I can't sleep well at night!"

This is the truth.

Anyway, whether he can see it or not, he has to fight in his dreams at night.

"Sigh!"

Feng Jianhua said helplessly, "Then I'll let you see it."

He held the bundles of canvas and went upstairs, Chu Tianshu followed behind.

After the canvas was placed on the second floor, the two went up to the third floor.

Feng Jianhua didn't avoid it either, left the door open, and took the secret manual out of the wardrobe.

Chu Tianshu took the secret manual and read it carefully, but his heart was thinking about other things.

The token screen was summoned again, controlled by intent, the list scrolled, and locked onto one of the evil spirit materials.

【River Drifter: The rushing current of the Great River, rolls people into the water, sinks and dyes in silt, rots but doesn't break, its resentment is very sufficient, and the seven orifices are all closed.

Suddenly one day, it floats out of the water, just in time for the night of the full moon, then the corpse bones scatter and transform, its soul rises, borrowing the moon and water to roam.

Characteristic: Can make the human body full of water vapor, mouth and nose as if sealed by water, whole body swollen and die.

Can make the possessor have multiple layers of water nets under the skin, unloading force and exerting force, but seeing the moon go crazy, laughing long and non-stop, wherever it passes, footprints are all wet.】

This evil spirit should belong to the category of water ghosts.

If he chooses the characteristics of this evil spirit to mix and refine materials, and deduce Principal Feng's set of cultivation methods.

Would it be able to avoid side effects and exert the potential strengths of this set of cultivation methods to the fullest?

Theoretically, it might be possible, but there is no 100% certainty.

Chu Tianshu looked again.

The southeast has a lot of water, and the proportion of wandering souls who died because of water and transformed into evil spirits among those evil spirits is not too low.

He found another Bitter Well Woman.

【Bitter Well Woman: Deep houses have many women, three generations died in the well, the well water is bitter and green, strange snakes report grievances.

The resentment and corpse energy of three generations of blood relatives, combined with the ancient well water vein, breed evil spirits, shaped like snakes, three feet long, with three heads.

Characteristic: Poisonous water with the body, endless, poisonous arrows sprayed, three feet breaking bamboo.】

Pick a few weaker evil spirits first, barely reaching the standard for one deduction.

Later, take the characteristics of this water ghost in the well as the main one, and try to deduce it.

"Alright, don't stand at the door and watch."

Feng Jianhua waved his hand to drive people away, saying, "Go to the second floor and find a room to sit."

Chu Tianshu walked down with the book.

The place where the second floor connects to the stairs is a large hall.

There are sofas, tables and chairs, fruits, refrigerators, potted plants, and porcelain jars with books and paintings.

There is a stone trough in the corner, which looks like it is used for washing brushes; the faucet doesn't know if it's broken or what, and it is dripping water into the stone trough bit by bit.

The wind and snow are intermittent, making people unable to tell which day is colder.

But Chu Tianshu didn't hear the dripping sound upstairs when he was practicing below those days.

Now it seems that the climate does have signs of improvement.

Chu Tianshu found a sofa and sat down, reading the secret manual quietly in the dripping sound.

Feng Jianhua peeked at him and went downstairs.

【Cultivation Method Material:

"Hate Heaven Skill".

The twelve regular meridians are like rivers, the eight extraordinary meridians are like mountain roads, thousands of fine meridians walk endlessly, how about spreading wings to sweep the rivers and mountains!

The energy of ordinary people is like a flat boat on the river, and cultivating this skill, the internal energy runs swiftly and transcendently.

As if spreading wings and soaring to the fullest on the river, cultivating the momentum of a roc rushing to the nine heavens.

However, Kua Fu chases the sun, drinking the Great Marsh dry and still dies, the roc flies to the sky, not knowing how to turn back, clouds and mist are not enough to rely on, ultimately there is the worry of thirst.

This set of cultivation methods, although the potential is extremely great, it is a pity that it has regrets; cultivating to the later stage, once exerting full force, within ten or so breaths, there is the worry of internal and external dehydration, urgently needing to replenish water.】

After Chu Tianshu flipped through the secret manual several times, he summoned the token and saw the introduction of the cultivation method material.

"Alright, try it."

He selected "Bitter Well Woman" as the main one, gathered a batch of weak evil spirits, and began to deduce.

After a while, the token displayed that the deduction was completed.

Chu Tianshu's mind was flooded with a large amount of cultivation method content; compared to the original text in the book, the changes were not many.

The modified and optimized parts were not even one-twentieth.

But Chu Tianshu captured the key points in it.

"... This cultivation method is cultivated to the later stage; if exerting full force, within two quarter-hours, there is the worry of dehydration."

Chu Tianshu's eyes were bright and energetic.

Two quarter-hours! The token can really do this.

He didn't hesitate anymore, selected the water ghost in the river, and mixed and refined a large batch of materials.

"Heh, first time fighting such a rich battle."

【Mixing and refining completed...

Deduction completed...

"Vertical Heaven Divine Skill".

Thousands of fine meridians walk endlessly, spreading wings and flying to cover the mountains and seas!

When the roc rides the wind and transports mist, it can soar to the nine heavens; if the luck is not free, it can still hit the water for three thousand miles.

Cultivating this skill, true qi is endless, the intent has the wonder of rushing and soaring, but as long as true qi does not disperse, the will will definitely not be unconscious, like the vast ocean, water qi circulates, the change of the kun-roc, wind and rain hang from the sky!】

Sure enough, the flaw of being easily dehydrated is gone.

Chu Tianshu savored the cultivation method in his mind, first a burst of joy, but afterward, he perceived the subtlety.

When he fought with Li Guangzong, he felt that Li Guangzong was not as sharp as those who practiced fist techniques in some aspects.

Later, the people he met were all relatively combat-wise, and this flaw was not very obvious.

However, now that he had detailed internal energy heart methods in his mind, he had to admit.

Internal energy seems to be fundamentally duller than those who specialize in the flesh body.

Because the existence of internal energy will forcibly interfere with body functions.

For ordinary people, the interference of internal energy is of course optimizing all body functions.

However, for someone like Chu Tianshu, whose flesh body has been practiced to be powerful and pure, this forced interference might instead reduce his sensitivity.

Even if it is the "Vertical Heaven Divine Skill", that seemingly good effect of "true qi does not disperse, will does not become unconscious", for him, it will also likely be at the cost of becoming dull in some subtle places.

Unconscious fainting without knowing or feeling is sometimes the protection of the flesh body for humans.

"It is said that cultivating internal energy with Huang Ya True Qi will also make the flesh body stronger; then, is this strengthening purely strength and defense, or does it also include comprehensive aspects like I am now?"

Chu Tianshu compared the Diamond Stabilization and the Vertical Heaven Divine Skill, considering for a long time.

Well, compared to practicing the "Vertical Heaven Divine Skill" now, it's better to experience the realm of "Martial Kitchen God" more.

Clarify all the body functions that can be felt in this realm, and remember them deeply.

In the future, when internal energy is practiced, if there is any weakening somewhere, you can use the soldier spirit of the Three-Seven Divine Sword as a bystander perspective to compare it.

At that time, you can find a way yourself to strengthen the tempering of those aspects in a targeted manner.

Martial arts are dead, but the martial artist himself is alive, so naturally, he must have the ability to regulate himself!

"Then, when should I mention the method of making up for the flaws to the principal? With his many years of cultivation experience, there's no need to say it too clearly; just say that because I am Huang Ya True Qi, I have some inspiration..."

As long as the inspiration direction is correct, for Feng Jianhua, it is enough.

But if I say it in these two days, it's a bit too outrageous.

There are still ten days until the forced crossing; let's see the timing in a few days.

Ring-a-ding-ding!!

Chu Tianshu was immersed in his thoughts when he suddenly heard the red phone in the corner ring.

He got up and shouted: "Principal, phone!"

Feng Jianhua came out of the teaching building where the wounded were, waved his hand and said: "You answer it and see first."

Chu Tianshu picked up the receiver: "Hello, the principal is on his way..."

"This voice, is it little Chu?"

The other end of the phone said, "It's me, Yuan Chongxiao; the principal's phone is probably broken, and he didn't think to find a spare one."

"There's a situation I want to tell him about."

"We found a room prepared for 'Taiyin Refining Form' in Mo Shengyi's villa."

Chu Tianshu had heard of this set of methods.

Strictly speaking, Taiyin Refining Form is not a single set of methods, but an entire dharma lineage.

Just like a witch doctor, everyone has a common characteristic, but the inside is broad and profound, with both positive and evil.

Taiyin Refining Form was most popular during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties; at that time, there were many people who succeeded in cultivating this method, transforming themselves into corpse demons to seek longevity.

However, later, the number of people who could successfully transform became fewer; even if all the steps were the same, and even if the foundation was better, it was easy to practice oneself to death.

Just like many ancient methods, it gradually had no one daring to seek death, and even the predecessors of the sect actively sealed it, and then it was lost.

However, the Ghost Market could directly find grave robbers to supply goods, so the origin of this set of methods is self-evident.

Mo Shengyi is nearly in his prime, so he shouldn't have a particularly urgent idea of seeking longevity.

He engaged in this thing, mostly because he took a fancy to another characteristic of corpse demons.

—All corpse demons will have a strong desire for fresh blood and will crave to drink more mellow blood energy.

"Just looking for excitement for himself, but all running on the path of not being human..."

Chu Tianshu shook his head and continued listening.

"We have already destroyed this room, but there is an iron coffin inside that is still absorbing yin energy; in order to prevent the Ghost Owl from even being a ghost, I was injured relatively heavily, and several companions were also injured, so we couldn't destroy the iron coffin for a while."

Yuan Chongxiao said, "Fortunately, someone helped; he said he was going to visit the martial school."

Chu Tianshu laughed: "Alright, I think the principal won't refuse; who is that person?"

As he spoke, he heard the wind outside the building and took a look.

Oh, it turned out to be a red-crowned crane flying from the sky.

What the hell?!

After Chu Tianshu's casual glance, his gaze stared tightly again.

It really was a red-crowned crane.

And it had already landed on the windowsill, groomed its feathers leisurely, raised its claws, and flicked open the window.

The tiny crane eyes looked straight at Chu Tianshu.

"The visitor is this crane."

Chu Tianshu blinked.

It's not strange for a crane to have human nature; there is even a cat in the martial school that can do backflips and transform.

But why can this crane speak human language?
