Chapter 564: The Pillar Technique of Residential Cultivation (Bonus Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
The Lady ate Huahu Manchun's soul and circled the room a few times, slowly digesting it.
The other family members sat at the table one after another. The Earth Deities of the Proper Lands were top-tier ingredients, but they were still a bit inferior to pure-blooded Inner Continent people. Everyone didn't fight or scramble, and the meal was quite harmonious.
Li Li Banfeng walked to the Lady's side and gave the big loudspeaker a kiss: "My precious Lady, the thing we promised before should be fulfilled today."
The record player pretended not to know: "What did the little slave promise the husband? To give birth to a child for the husband?"
"Can you really give birth?" Li Li Banfeng grabbed and touched the record player.
The record player laughed until she gasped: "Husband, don't mess around. Tell me first, how is the technique learning going?"
Li Li Banfeng puffed out his chest and said: "When using the 'Shadow and Reflection Mourning Each Other' technique, I can also use the 'Riding the Wind and Driving the Clouds' technique. Having practiced the technique to this level, the Lady should be satisfied, right?"
Xiang Xiang Hongying put down her chopsticks and said: "Seventh Brother, you've learned 'Riding the Wind and Driving the Clouds'? Your talent is truly remarkable!"
"I borrowed it. I borrowed it from Xue Yingying," Li Li Banfeng signaled Xiang Xiang Hongying to keep a low profile, then turned to the Lady and said, "My precious Lady, two techniques above the clouds can be used together. I have indeed made my foundation solid. You should also take me to the second layer."
"Empty words are no proof. Husband, use the technique and show it to the little slave."
"Easy!" Li Li Banfeng concentrated his intent, first using the "Shadow and Reflection Mourning Each Other" technique.
After a long while, the shadow didn't come out.
The record player sighed: "Husband, does this count as learning it solidly?"
Li Li Banfeng also felt strange. The "Shadow and Reflection Mourning Each Other" technique had been specially practiced and used quite a bit recently. In front of his own Lady, he wasn't nervous or flustered, so why did it suddenly not work?
Did something happen to the shadow?
Borrowing the candlelight, Li Li Banfeng looked at his feet and found he had no shadow.
Where did the shadow go?
Oh no, it was still in the swamp.
Li Li Banfeng was shocked and hurriedly rushed out of the Personal Residence, looking around, but he didn't see his shadow.
Where did this guy run off to?
Could it be that it was angry and went wandering off alone?
Li Li Banfeng repeatedly used the technique, releasing and retracting, wanting to call the shadow back.
After trying three times in a row, a burst of air bubbles emerged from the mud pool; the shadow had responded.
It had been soaking in the mud pool for a long time.
Li Li Banfeng dug in the mud pool for a good while, saw a pitch-black arm, grabbed it, pulled the mud-covered shadow out, and retracted it under his feet.
Upon returning to the Personal Residence, bursts of roaring sounded in Li Li Banfeng's ears. The shadow was like a madman, arguing with Li Li Banfeng endlessly.
Li Li Banfeng was also a bit annoyed and prepared to call the shadow out for a fight. The record player hurriedly persuaded him: "Husband, this time it's your fault. You can't just throw away your own shadow.
The shadow is connected to the husband's soul. If it gets infected with poison, disease, or techniques outside, it will implicate the husband when retracted."
Li Li Banfeng hummed: "Then let's just not retract it."
"You can't say such angry words. If the husband doesn't retract the shadow, the 'Shadow and Reflection Mourning Each Other' technique can't be used. If the shadow breaks its tether, it will be a disaster for the husband in the future."
The Lady made sense. Li Li Banfeng comforted the shadow for a bit, waited for ten minutes, and the shadow calmed down and began to cooperate with Li Li Banfeng to demonstrate the technique.
Li Li Banfeng first used the "Shadow and Reflection Mourning Each Other" technique to release the shadow, then immediately used the "Riding the Wind and Driving the Clouds" technique to make himself fly.
The first flight was a bit fierce, and Li Li Banfeng's head hit the ceiling. Xiang Xiang Hongying said from the side: "Seventh Brother, change your intent. Don't always think about soaring into the sky; just think about riding the wind.
The breeze is right under your feet. Just think of it as a breeze, not a gale or a whirlwind. You can grasp both the wind direction and the wind force—"
Under Xiang Xiang Hongying's guidance, Li Li Banfeng flew more and more steadily, from the main room to the twelfth room, and flew back from the twelfth room.
The shadow sat on the side reading a newspaper, completely unaffected by Li Li Banfeng.
The Lady exclaimed in admiration: "Husband has truly learned the technique properly this time. Eat half a Xiao Xuan Yun Pill first to stabilize your physique, rest for a moment, and the little slave will take you to promote."
The record player fed half a pill into Li Li Banfeng's mouth and brought a cup of water to help Li Li Banfeng take the medicine.
Since Li Li Banfeng reached the clouds, half a Xiao Xuan Yun Pill was the largest dose Li Li Banfeng had ever taken.
After the pill was swallowed, Li Li Banfeng felt cold air rolling in his bone marrow, and his whole body shivered into a ball.
"Lady, when I took pills before, I felt a slight heat in my body. Why is it so cold this time?"
"Because the pill dose is slightly excessive. Being too hot makes the husband feel cold instead. The husband is too eager to promote,
and your physique cannot keep up with your cultivation base. The little slave can only take this desperate measure and use the pill to forcibly supplement you. Husband, don't be afraid. With the little slave protecting you, you will survive this hurdle."
Hot and humid steam struck, and the Lady pulled Li Li Banfeng into the warm loudspeaker.
The cold air gradually dissipated, and Li Li Banfeng faintly heard some sounds in his ears.
"The lacquer on my body has fallen off, and I don't know how many years it will take to patch it up."
"There is a lump of dust in my stomach. Every time I wipe it, I can't reach it, making me feel terribly itchy inside."
"Just such a piece of rust, it has to grow under my eyelid. It would be fine if I couldn't see it, but once I see it, I feel uncomfortable in my heart."
Who is talking?
Could it be those unidentified passengers living in the Personal Residence?
Li Li Banfeng had always been vigilant against the passengers in each room of the Personal Residence, including the girl in the fifth room, the calculation cultivator in the eighth room, the suspected spying cultivator in the seventh room, and the mysterious woman in the ninth room.
Especially the mysterious woman in the ninth room; Li Li Banfeng was almost tricked by her.
Why are they all talking in my ear?
What do the dust in the stomach and the rust under the eyelid mean?
The whispers became more and more numerous and dense, making Li Li Banfeng's head dizzy.
After more than an hour, the noisy sounds gradually faded away, and the Lady's gentle singing made Li Li Banfeng gradually return to normal.
"Winter arrives with snow everywhere, the husband is anxious and the slave is flustered. Count your family treasures and don't forget, one technique by your side is the pillar."
The last sentence was different.
Before, it was always "add another room for the official."
Li Li Banfeng pulled himself out of the loudspeaker and asked the record player: "One technique by your side is the pillar—what does this sentence mean? Didn't you add another room to the family this time?"
"Rooms were naturally added, but the crucial point of this technique must be known by the husband. The 'Counting Family Treasures' technique
is the pillar technique of Residential Cultivation. Husband, you must not be half-hearted."
"What is a pillar technique?"
The record player explained: "It is the most important technique in a Daoist sect. If the husband learns the 'Counting Family Treasures' technique well, it is equivalent to picking up the main beam of the Residential Cultivation sect.
If you fail to learn it, or if you don't learn it well and fail to pick up the main beam, your fortune in the Residential Cultivation sect will end here. No matter how you cultivate in the future, your cultivation base will stop at the second layer and will not improve."
Li Li Banfeng was shocked: "Residential Cultivation actually has such an important technique?"
The record player said: "Not just Residential Cultivation; every Daoist sect has a pillar technique."
"Does Traveling Cultivation have one too?"
Xiang Xiang Hongying said: "Yes. The first-layer technique 'Wind Rising on Flat Ground' is the pillar technique."
Li Li Banfeng carefully recalled the process of learning 'Wind Rising on Flat Ground'. When he entered, he relied on the boat boss's guidance. Li Li Banfeng learned the rickshaw step, which gave him amazing endurance.
But the Train Eunuch didn't think much of the rickshaw step. In the Dream-Chasing Building, he taught Li Li Banfeng the train step. From then on, 'Walking Through Flowers,' 'Breaking Through Ten Thousand Rivers,' 'Opening the Path,' and 'Traveler Without Obstacles'—all kinds of techniques were greatly improved. This should be the impact of the pillar technique on the cultivation base.
"Why does the Traveling Cultivation pillar technique appear so early?"
The record player said: "Each sect has its own way. The Traveling Cultivation pillar technique appears early, and cultivators use it a lot. It seems like they learned it solidly, but using it a lot and using it correctly are two different things. At the beginning of entering the Dao, you don't know much about the essentials of the Daoist sect, and you are very likely to go down the wrong path. If the path is wrong, no matter how much hard work you put in, it will be in vain."
Xiang Xiang Hongying hummed, seemingly disagreeing with the record player's statement.
The record player ignored Xiang Xiang Hongying and continued to guide Li Li Banfeng: "The Residential Cultivation pillar technique appears late, but the husband already knows many of the essentials of the Residential Cultivation Daoist sect. As long as you cultivate with your heart, you shouldn't go astray.
It's just that the husband's temperament is too eager. When your cultivation base was still at the ground level, your technique learning was a bit perfunctory. 'Golden Eye Autumn Hair,' 'Hundred Flavors Exquisite,' and 'Insightful Spiritual Sound'—these three techniques were given by the little slave, and the husband uses them relatively skillfully.
'Heart Like an Arrow,' 'Residential Heart and Thick,' 'Deep Residence and Large Courtyard,' 'Closing the Door and Shutting the House,' and 'Living and Working in Peace'—these five techniques are used by the husband often and can be considered passable.
The 'Golden House Hiding Beauty' technique is used quite ugly by the husband. Occasionally making a melon man can barely fight. As for the 'Shadow and Reflection Mourning Each Other' technique, the husband has only learned the fur. As for the 'Expanding Land and Opening Borders' technique, it is not as good as 'Golden House Hiding Beauty.' The husband hasn't even learned the fur.
As for the previous techniques, the husband needs to study them more, but the 'Counting Family Treasures' technique must not be dealt with perfunctorily, otherwise the little slave truly has no way to help the husband improve his cultivation base."
Li Li Banfeng didn't dare to be slow and asked seriously: "How do you use this technique?"
"Family treasures refer to the treasures in the house. Put the treasures in the house on the tip of your heart and count them one by one.
When facing the enemy, take all the treasures out and use them as your left and right arms. This is the essence of 'Counting Family Treasures'."
Li Li Banfeng laughed: "Does this technique need to be learned? I count the treasures in our house every day, and every time we go to war, they are my left and right arms!"
The glove hugged its shoulders, shook its index finger, and said: "The master treats us like his own brothers, and we never have any ambiguity when we go to battle. All the camaraderie of life and death is in this sentiment. The main beam of this Daoist sect, our master has already picked it up!"
The record player laughed and said to the glove: "You kid really knows how to talk. No wonder the master spoils you so much. 'Counting Family Treasures' doesn't just refer to you; all the other objects in the house are treasures.
Once, a high-level Wu Xiu expert entered a Residential Cultivator's courtyard and had a fight with the Residential Cultivator. The Wu Xiu's cultivation was far above the Residential Cultivator's, and no matter what object fell into the Wu Xiu's hands, it became a top-tier weapon.
But the Wu Xiu never expected that in this Residential Cultivator's courtyard, all the objects that fell into his hands could not become weapons, and none of the objects would exert any effort for this Wu Xiu.
And this Residential Cultivator, relying on the debris piled up all over the courtyard, actually beat the Wu Xiu into heavy injury. This is a combat example of the 'Counting Family Treasures' technique.
If the husband wants to learn this technique, you can't work on magic treasures and spiritual objects at the beginning. You must first find an ordinary object in the house, communicate with it, and see if you can generate a response between each other."
The most ordinary object?
"What object is suitable?"
The record player reminded: "The longer an object has been placed in the house, the easier it is to become a family treasure. Objects that the husband likes from the bottom of his heart can also become family treasures."
One is the long time objectively, and the other is the subjective liking from the heart.
Li Li Banfeng looked around and first saw his iron shovel.
This shovel was obtained together with the sickle. The sickle developed spirituality and became a magic treasure, but this iron shovel is still just a shovel to this day.
Although it has no spirituality, this shovel has followed Li Li Banfeng for many days and experienced many fierce battles. In the first battle on Bitter Fog Mountain, the shovel contributed. In breaking the Sang Sect Star's formation, the shovel also exerted great effort.
Whether it's cracking skulls or digging mud, it has never dropped the ball at critical moments. Counting the treasures in the house,
this shovel absolutely ranks high.
Li Li Banfeng placed the shovel in front of him and began to communicate deeply with it.
After communicating for an hour, the shovel had no response.
Li Li Banfeng touched the shovel and sighed: "Your personality is still a bit introverted."
After putting away the shovel, Li Li Banfeng looked at the feather duster.
He had a habit of collecting feather dusters. He used one feather duster the most, which was when he was in Blue Yang Village,
bought from the Peddler.
This feather duster was made of exquisite materials, the feathers were bright, soft, and dense, and the wooden pole was quite strong. Taking it to battle as a weapon could withstand swords and axes, and using it for housework could sweep away all the dust. Bringing it to dance in social occasions,
it didn't lose any decency at all. Treating it as a family treasure must be correct.
Li Li Banfeng stared at the feather duster for two hours, but the feather duster also had no response.
Where did the problem lie this time?
Is the feather duster also very introverted?
Changing to another object to look at, Li Li Banfeng looked at the iron ruler, the mandarin duck axes, and the fake beard he usually stuck on his face...
After looking at the personal objects for several hours, Li Li Banfeng's eyes were bloodshot, and he lay on the bed.
This technique is too hard to learn.
The record player comforted Li Li Banfeng: "Husband, don't be in a hurry. You are still far from your next promotion, and there is still plenty of time to study the technique."
Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "This isn't a matter of study. I haven't even touched the door of the technique."
The record player used a puff of steam to gently rub Li Li Banfeng's forehead: "This is the little slave's fault for not explaining the essentials clearly. The little slave will think about it carefully again to see if there is any way for the husband to find the trick."
Li Li Banfeng hugged the record player: "The Lady explained it clearly enough. It's my own comprehension that isn't enough."
"Husband, don't say such discouraging words. This technique is indeed not easy to learn."
The Lady comforted him a few words, and Li Li Banfeng regained his confidence, searching for treasures in the house.
After searching for a moment, Li Li Banfeng seemed to have realized something.
Shovel, feather duster, fake beard—these things are indeed liked by Li Li Banfeng, but these things are usually carried on Li Li Banfeng's body, and they don't stay in the Personal Residence for long.
Which object usually stays in the Personal Residence?
Li Li Banfeng's gaze rested on the corner of the main room, where a vase was placed.
When Li Li Banfeng bombed the Jiang Xiang Gang's Immortal Music Dance Hall in Medicine King Ditch, he collected this vase from the dance hall.
He didn't want to raise flowers; he only stuck a feather duster in the vase. Many days had passed, and although he hadn't paid much attention to it, thinking about it carefully, this vase had been in the Personal Residence for quite a long time.
Li Li Banfeng stared at the vase for an hour, his eyes bloodshot and his scalp tingling.
The record player persuaded: "My precious husband, you cannot be too impatient. Rest for a moment first—"
A gust of wind blew past, and the vase slowly left the ground, floating in mid-air.
The record player said pleasantly: "Husband has great talent, you've found the way!"
Xiang Xiang Hongying was also shocked and turned back from the dressing table: "Found the door?"
Li Li Banfeng waved at the vase: "Come, girl, come and sit by my side."
"Girl?" The record player used "Insightful Spiritual Sound" to listen for a moment, but didn't hear any movement from the vase, nor did she know why Li Li Banfeng called it a girl.
The vase wandered in place and didn't fly to Li Li Banfeng's side, seemingly not trusting Li Li Banfeng much.
Li Li Banfeng picked up the feather duster and walked over. The vase was worried about being beaten and hurriedly dodged to the side.
"Don't be afraid. There is a lump of dust in your stomach, making you itchy, but you can't sweep it away, right? Don't be afraid,
I'll help you sweep it."
The vase was half-believing and half-doubting, and was gently pulled into Li Li Banfeng's arms.
Li Li Banfeng hugged the vase, gently put the feather duster in, and stirred for a moment. A lump of dust was swept out by Li Li Banfeng.
"Not itchy anymore, right?"
The vase flew into mid-air, its mouth facing Li Li Banfeng, seemingly expressing gratitude.
"Is there anywhere else uncomfortable? I'll help you clean it again."
Before he finished speaking, the vase rushed toward Li Li Banfeng, and its mouth covered Li Li Banfeng's head.
The record player was shocked at first, then sensed goodwill from the vase.
"Husband, you've learned it!"
"Hahaha!" Li Li Banfeng laughed muffledly inside the vase.
The family members were all happy. The glove shook its index finger and said: "Our master is a strong person. No matter how difficult the technique is, if he grinds his teeth, he will definitely learn it!"
The projector sighed: "This is art, art written with perseverance and perseverance!"
The Tang Dao was still excited: "A precious sword's edge comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. The master has ambition, courage, and boldness, and he has picked up this main beam!"
The family praised for more than ten minutes, only to see Li Li Banfeng hugging the vase, desperately tearing downwards.
The teapot was stunned: "What technique is this practicing?"
The record player shouted: "What technique is this? There's no air inside. Hurry and help the husband pull it out, don't suffocate the husband!"
Xiang Xiang Hongying drew her sword: "I'll just chop the vase. It absolutely won't hurt Seventh Brother."
Li Li Banfeng shouted muffledly: "Can't chop! This is our family treasure!"
