Though this had happened several times in the past few days, he still couldn’t help doubting whether he was teaching some complete novice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in past conversations, Feng Xue often uttered theories that even he found deeply beneficial; if it were just one or two remarks, he might have dismissed it, but in his tests, Feng Xue consistently showed breadth across countless domains—this scope was truly unlike that of a newcomer—even unlike that of an ordinary Grand Master. After much thought, he could only attribute it to “Shenxiao Sect’s former dominance over an entire nation, with profound reserves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internally muttering “This kid’s testing me again,” Li Maolin cleared his throat and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The so-called decapitation tricks in folk legends are nothing but substitution charms combined with illusion techniques. Use my taught [Form Substitute] with [Ghost’s Veil] when someone tries to cut your head off—they’ll think they’ve succeeded. Then activate [Secondary Substitute] to swap positions with your form substitute, strike them down with a Palm Thunder, and to onlookers it’ll look like your head was severed and instantly regrew. But in truth, it all depends on your timing and control over your Qi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Feng Xue felt a pang of disappointment, but considering the weakness of his divine advantage, he couldn’t help asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If decapitation won’t work, what about cutting off hands or feet? Suppose someone cuts off my hand—even if I kill them, I’m still crippled, right? Is there any way to reattach it or make it grow back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Maolin had been about to snap back as before, but surprisingly, he actually knew this technique—or rather, nearly every demon cultivator who’d survived past a hundred years knew some version of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no choice: compared to orthodox cultivators, demon cultivators had neither logistics nor allies—they had to rely entirely on themselves. Injuries and illnesses? They had to endure them alone. Without basic medical and emergency knowledge, they simply wouldn’t survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this technique was hard to master—perfect for slowing this kid down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Li Maolin even felt a bit resentful: why hadn’t Feng Xue asked this earlier? If he had, Li Maolin wouldn’t have spent the past few days straining his mind to dress up demon techniques in orthodox clothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Li Maolin’s powerful spiritual soul, these thoughts flashed in an instant; to Feng Xue, the elder merely paused briefly, then nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your question is known in cultivation circles as the ‘Discontinuity Technique.’ Broadly, it falls into two categories: one is emergency temporary repair, which acts quickly and preserves combat capability—typically used in battle; the other is healing, a technique applied after battle to restore through prolonged cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The former has many methods—for instance, you could use the [Spirit Possession] technique to have a spirit attach to the severed limb, then control it via the [Spirit Object Manipulation] spell. Since the spirit shares your will, with a little practice, you can master it—it’s essentially no different from standard object manipulation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The latter is far more complex. The most basic method is limb reattachment: if the limb was severed recently and the damage is minor, you can use this technique to rejoin it. But even after reattachment, it will never be as agile as before—you must constantly nourish it with Yuan Qi to restore function. I’ll teach you the ritual; once you’ve entered the Dao, try it first on animals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the severed limb is severely damaged, you must craft a prosthetic artifact. I have a technique derived from Maoshan’s Corpse Cultivation method: after processing the limb, refine it like a True Treasure, achieving indistinguishable functionality from the original.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for advanced limb regeneration, it requires extremely profound medical Dao cultivation—I don’t know it. Legends say some Xuan cultivators who venerate the Southern Pole Longevity Emperor excel in this, but whether that’s true, I can’t say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Li Maolin glanced at Feng Xue and noticed no change in his expression; he sighed inwardly: “What an actor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xue noticed Li Maolin’s pause. Though disappointed, he immediately nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disciple wishes to learn!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The days-long teaching routine resumed. Since it involved spirits, Mo Ying was forced to leave her beloved [Mirror of Illumination] and sit in on the lesson; Liu Yunxi simply found a quiet spot to meditate. As dusk gradually fell, Li Maolin, who had been explaining prosthetic attachment details, frowned slightly, watching the entire household still lounging leisurely. He felt a strange unease, so deliberately looked out the window and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I forgot—we must offer sacrifices to the Stove God today. I’ll take my leave first. Write down your difficulties; we’ll continue tomorrow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…” Feng Xue hadn’t even finished speaking when Li Maolin, as usual, dissolved into a breeze. Feng Xue lowered his head, organized his notes, took photos of them with his phone, then muttered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t the Stove God offering supposed to be yesterday?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I thought it was yesterday too!” Mo Ying, who had always provided common-knowledge aid, looked equally baffled. Liu Yunxi, meditating nearby, nodded in agreement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right! Didn’t we smear sugar on the Stove God’s mouth yesterday?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human, the ghost, and the demon stared at each other, certain none of them had misremembered—today was truly the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month. For a moment, they were utterly bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could Li Qianbei have mixed up the date?” Feng Xue frowned, sensing something off. If this were ordinary peasants, fine—but in this world, Xuan cultivators were deeply tied to faith and vow-power systems, and with the Underworld and phantom deities existing, rituals could never be taken lightly. Even Feng Xue, the transmigrant, had obediently woven paper horses yesterday to send the Stove God skyward—not asking for favors, just hoping he wouldn’t cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xue mused inwardly, leaned toward the window, and, having learned from Li Maolin how to see aura with the naked eye, observed the drifting incense vapor. He pulled out his phone, checked data on the Stove God offering, and finally confirmed: all three of them had made a collective blunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t really their fault—folk customs varied by region. For instance, in the north, the Stove God offering was on the twenty-third day of the twelfth month; in the south, it was the twenty-fourth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xue, with his one-meter-eighty-five frame, was clearly northern. Liu Yunxi’s knowledge came entirely from her Fox Immortal grandmother—and a fox that could make a snake spirit take the surname Liu? Clearly northern too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Mo Ying, this ironclad southern ghost, her knowledge source was, of all things, the daughter of a former imperial chancellor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even knowing they were wrong, none of them planned to perform the ritual again—because in this world, the Stove God offering wasn’t mere folklore; it was the true “Sending the Stove God to Heaven!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a phantom deity born from folk belief, the Stove God had a “fragment” in every household. Each use of the stove generated incense for him; the offering ritual transformed that year’s accumulated incense into “blessing vows.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d only lived here ten days—the stove had barely accumulated any incense, and yesterday, the trio had already sent it skyward with sugar cakes. Even if they offered again today, there’d be nothing left to send!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh. We’ve only lived here ten days anyway—even if we got the date right, it wouldn’t matter. Yunxi! Go get some sugar cakes and rice cakes. In my hometown, you can skip the festival, but you must eat the festival food!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1307,"2026-06-20T04:32:49.208Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b4883fad59a1338fe55030f34155aa89526ecaa8e27564a260256699743adc48","i-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-chapter-103","i-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-chapter-101",365,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-cover.jpg"]
