This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 81: Charging for half an hour, battery life for five minutes

Donggegou.

The town is located in the northern part of southern Xinjiang. It is a resting place for traveling merchants. It is a prosperous town with many brothels and casinos. It is a mixed crowd and has a lawless atmosphere.

Xiang Yuan took the sachet, had enough money on him, rented a small courtyard, and devoted himself to practicing every day.

Also, because there were still a few remaining human skin masks in the sachet, which were just there for the purpose, he would disguise himself and go out every two days to look for a suitable whetstone.

Combining movement and stillness, and maintaining tension and relaxation, while the swordsmanship improves, the five internal elements also make great progress.

Normally, people practice in the awakening stage from the outside to the inside, from the surface to the inside. But he used the Five Elements Beads to practice the Five Elements directly, from the inside to the outside, and fed the results of the practice back to the Nine Apertures.

There are many benefits. The nine orifices are opened at the same time, your hearing and eyesight gradually become sharper, your mouth can eat poison, your nose can replenish wind, and your waist strength is increased.

The disadvantage is that all nine orifices are opened at the same time, and there is no stage-by-stage breakthrough. You cannot enjoy the pleasure of nine upgrades, nor can you see the immediate effect of sharp ears and eyes.

Generally speaking, it is better to practice the five elements internally.

First of all, it is safe. There will be no risk of hidden dangers caused by excessive force. Secondly, because the fundamental skills are fixed and constrained by the five elements, the future path will not become narrower and narrower.

Whenever Xiang Yuan practiced with the Five Elements Beads in his mouth, he would call it a great fortune. Yue Huanjiang showed him a way to success, and he didn't know how to repay him.

After thinking about it, he realized that with his current financial strength, he could only go to Baiyun Villa more often to enjoy membership points and discounts, so that his brother's family business could earn more money.

The gift may be small but the thought is great, so don’t be rude!
Speaking of which, Xiang Yuan should indeed go to Baiyun Villa to purchase goods.

First of all, there are the sleeve arrows. Although they seem to be of little use, they are one of his few medium-range attack methods. They were inconvenient to carry before, but now that he has space equipment, he should store more short arrows and poisons.

No matter whether it is useful or not, you must have it.

There are also various kinds of elixirs, some for replenishing blood, nourishing the spirit, detoxifying, replenishing energy, healing...

All kinds of bottles and jars have to be arranged neatly, otherwise the sachet will be empty, as if there is a power shortage, and he will feel very insecure.

As for the sachet, it is public property and belongs to the Imperial City Bureau. It must be returned to Xiao He when you go back.

He lost it on the way, so he must be very sad for someone!

Xiao He insisted on making specious arguments, not distinguishing right from wrong, and insisted that he had embezzled public property. So he pulled out the honest man Wang Wenxu and asked this gentleman, who was full of righteousness, to judge the case.

In this way, this piece of space equipment becomes very practical.

Since it is your own treasure, you must make full use of it and not leave any gaps.

After Xiang Yuan finished his plan, he weighed his belongings. In recent days, he had been eliminating evil and punishing traitors, and actively taking action when he saw injustice. With the addition of the several thousand taels of silver notes in the sachet, his net worth had skyrocketed, which was enough for him to spend rationally at Baiyun Villa.

With the internal price that Yue Huanjiang gave him, this wave of purchases will definitely be able to fill up the sachets.

thump!
In a corner of the yard, a figure climbed over the wall, clumsy like a thief who had just started his career.

Xiang Yuan sniffed his nose and smelled an extremely foul odor that could be smelled from two miles away. He knew that Xiao He had come, so he pushed the door open and walked out, grabbing the man with one quick step.

"Brother, it's me, not the flower thief..."

"My dear brother, I am your elder brother..."

"Wait a minute!"

Xiao He raised his hand to interrupt, tearing off the human skin mask on his face, grimacing in pain: "You called me brother for no reason. Tell me, did you lose the sachet?"

"Alas, I was so busy running for my life that I made an unintentional mistake!"

"Don't try to play tricks on me. I have so many fasting pills, I can't just let it go like this." Xiao He was furious and raised his hand to search him.

Xiang Yuan slapped the claw away: "Don't look for it anymore, it's lost."

"You farted. I saw it. It was right under your collar."

"That's another sachet, not the one that was lost."

"I want this."

"Don't make trouble, old man. If it's lost, it's lost. I've guaranteed it with your head. How can I cheat you?" Xiang Yuan put the sachet on his collar into his arms, as if it was a matter of course.

"Oh, how can you lie with your eyes open? Look at yourself, your shameless face is no different from mine, you...you have fallen." Xiao He beat his chest and stamped his feet. Ever since Xiang Yuan revealed his true face, he could no longer have fun like before.

"Those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black."

"Humph, this is clearly my nature. Don't try to frame me."

Xiao He snorted twice and did not pursue the matter of the sachet any further. It was just public property and he had lost it several times before. Let Wang Wenxu worry about it.

The two walked into the house. Xiao He looked around and said, "It's quite exquisite. Brother Xiaoyuan has a good life, but I'm miserable. I run around everywhere, sleep in the open air, and I almost died several times."

It should be almost 100 million!

How could he possibly lose his life so easily if he could escape from the witch of Huangquan Road?

Xiang Yuan had seen Xiao He's abilities. He was the best choice in terms of intelligence, experience and means. He was also good at calculating and could be called a hexagonal warrior. As long as he was unwilling to take risks, his life would not be in danger.

Speaking of which, that night Xiao He sacrificed himself to block the demon girl in the formation, but it was useless and Xiang Yuan was still caught up by the demon girl. However, Xiang Yuan had to accept this favor, and the resentment he had previously felt towards Xiao He disappeared...

Uh, one percent is gone.

Only when we pin Xiao He to the ground and beat him up one day can the smoke of war truly disappear.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, I knew you were blessed with a long life. Sure enough, you escaped easily." Xiao He was very proud. His algorithm was not for show.

Forget it, it's all for nothing. If I didn't have some eloquence and acting skills, I would have died at the hands of that witch.

Xiang Yuan was complaining in his heart. He wanted to say something to the funny guy, but he was afraid of involving too many suspicious points. So he simply kept silent and asked, "How are you doing? Have you completed the mission?"

"Everything is done, and I also got the information about the Saintess of Huangquan Dao. I'm so lucky." Xiao He winked. Crisis and opportunity coexist. Seeing that Xiang Yuan didn't react, he thought he was starting to be serious again, and said, "Calculate the time. The Six Gates have received the news that the son of King Zhao is stranded here. Tomorrow we will meet Liu Jingsheng by chance. He will be our bodyguard to protect us back to Fengxian."

The task was completed in excess and there was a slight surprise, but it was not a big deal and it can be said that the harvest was very fruitful.

"In that case, let's get ready and return to Fengxian as soon as possible. Southern Xinjiang is a weird place, and I don't want to stay here for long."

The more Xiang Yuan thought about it, the more depressed he became. He had only taken a look at the outskirts of Southern Xinjiang, and hadn't even tried to get in. Then something big happened, causing him to encounter the Saint of Huangquan Dao. If he really got in, he might meet the Lord of Huangquan Dao.

This copy doesn't need to wait!
"Of course."

----

The next day, Liu Jingsheng showed up on time, and through the information provided by Wang Wenxu, he successfully found the trembling Xiao He and Xiang Yuan who never left him.

He revealed his identity and quickly gave the two men a simple disguise, disguising themselves as caravan servants, and successfully escorted the two back to Fengxian County.

At this point, the case of the witch kidnapping King Zhao's son was solved, and the three officials of Fengxian County and the Six Gates all breathed a sigh of relief.

After a whole month of walking on thin ice, afraid that I wouldn't be able to reach the other side, I can finally sleep soundly.

Those who deserved merit were rewarded, and those who deserved rewards were rewarded. Because of his identity as a yamen constable, Xiang Yuan was regarded by the three officials as having made great contributions in guarding the Fengxian yamen, and they rewarded him with a thousand taels of silver.

They will make amends, get money from Xiangyuan, and everyone can make progress.

However, Yushengfang has been closed down because it secretly kept a witch and committed a capital crime that was enough to get the officials to lose their heads. The people behind it were also invited to have tea with the Six Gates.

Being able to open the largest brothel in Fengxian County, one can imagine the power behind Yushengfang. It also has people above it, but this case involves King Zhao, the lord of eight states, so no one can do anything about it. They can only admit their mistakes and accept punishment, and spend money to build relationships everywhere.

Yu Sheng Fang will have to close for a while before reopening, and it may even have to change its storefront and name.

After Xiang Yuan got the money, he went to Baiyun Villa immediately to replenish his hidden weapons and bought a bunch of bottles and jars. With more life-saving things in his pocket, he felt much more energetic.

When Xiao He went out, he had a lot of information to summarize, such as his encounter with the Saint of Huangquan Dao, which had to be reported to the Imperial City Bureau Headquarters.

Xiang Yuan didn't have such a troublesome task, so he met with Wang Wenxu and pointed out Xiao He's shameless behavior of losing the sachet and trying to frame him.

Wang Wenxu believed it without a doubt, perhaps because Xiao He had a criminal record, or perhaps for some other reason, but he believed it without a doubt.

Before leaving, Xiang Yuan took away dozens of calligraphy works. The space in the sachet was limited and it could no longer hold them all. However, Xiang Yuan knew that this was not its limit and he could still squeeze in some more.

After returning to Songjiazhuang, the first thing he did was to see Song Shan. Coincidentally, it was dinner time.

"Smashing—"

“Huff huff huff—”

"Hiccup~~~"

After eating, he patted his stomach and left.

Song Shan escorted Xiang Yuan all the way to the door, smiling the whole time. He complained that Xiang Yuan was too much of an eater, but he didn't dare say it out loud. He saw with his own eyes that Xiang Yuan and the son of King Zhao went to the county town to visit prostitutes, so how could it be false?

In the dead of night, people of Songjiazhuang, young and old, either take a rest or do some entertainment activities in accordance with the etiquette of eating porridge before going to bed.

Xiang Yuan turned into a black shadow and disappeared outside the village. When he returned, he was carrying a piece of rotten wood wrapped in black cloth, which vaguely looked like a human figure.

Senior Zombie.

It was straight, not very heavy, and wrapped in a black cloth. It was from the ancient background of the fairy tale. Before he traveled through time, Xiang Yuan looked so guilty that people would definitely think he went to the post station to pick up a parcel.

The 49th day has arrived, and we respectfully welcome Senior Jiang out of seclusion.

Xiang Yuan returned to the house and tore off the black cloth. Looking at the silent Senior Zhuang, he used the corpse-controlling method taught by Xu Jixian. After some operations, Senior Zhuang completely recognized his master.

Thanks to the nourishment of Yin energy, Senior Zhuang regained some vitality, but his body was haggard and his skin was dark, like bacon that had been smoked by fire, and he still didn't look like a living person.

This is caused by insufficient Yin energy, and requires strong medicine.

Xiang Yuan drew out the Tiger Roaring Blade and tried two things at once, controlling the blade while manipulating Senior Zhuang to block. Metal clashed and sparks flew. He was afraid of making too much noise, so he didn't dare let Senior Zhuang use his full skills.

"With the help of the seniors, the world can be conquered."

Xiang Yuan was overjoyed. After the trip to Southern Xinjiang, he desired more power, but there was no such thing as overnight success in cultivation. With Senior Jiang guarding him, he had an extra life-saving trump card.

"It's just that the senior looks too ugly. One can tell at a glance that he is not a human. I will also be regarded as a demon."

Wang Wenxu set up a formation to gather Yin energy, and it took 49 days to complete. If it were an ordinary zombie, it would have been able to keep it alive. But it was different for Senior Zombie. It was like a luxury car running on good oil. The Yin energy at the level of a mass grave could not satisfy him.

Xiang Yuan didn't think too much about it. He clenched his five fingers, held the jade disk in his palm, and pressed it against Senior Jiang's back.

The surging Yin energy rushed in like a river flowing into the sea, and it was impossible to fill it up for a while.

The Yin Qi was like a tide, washing over Senior Zombie's dry body wave after wave, soaking through his limbs and bones, becoming the energy that stimulated the potential power of his bones...

After a while, Xiang Yuan was surprised at how profound Senior Yu Jiang's background was, and was even more surprised at the amount of oil stored in the jade disk. He thought it was a gas station, but unexpectedly it was an oil field.

It’s still the same question, what is the jade disk made of, and which powerful person’s corpse is it?
God or monster?
Facts have proved that new energy is more in line with the positioning of Senior Zombie. After being filled with Yin Qi, the atrophied muscles gradually fill up, the dark skin turns white, the long hair like dead grass turns pitch black, the limbs become more flexible, and except for the lack of heartbeat, it is no different from a living person.

He has a full forehead, a straight nose, bright eyes and regular facial features. He is a handsome middle-aged man with an elegant and resolute appearance.

Xiang Yuan used the corpse-controlling method to control Senior Zombie, and found that daily charging was essential, otherwise the Yin Qi would be exhausted and it would be difficult to maintain the appearance of a living person. Especially during battles, the Yin Qi would be consumed more rapidly, which was fine for a short period of time, but over time it would return to its original mummy form.

It takes half an hour to charge and only takes five minutes to use. The zombie machine is not very durable.

This happened when I first met Senior Zhuang. After leaving Yu Bi, Senior Zhuang collapsed during the fight.

"It is indeed a new energy source..."
