Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 286 Ever-Changing Fortunes, Before Dawn

On the ship, in the guest room.

The little hedgehog squatted on the bed, staring wide-eyed at the Water Spirit Pearl whose brilliance had suddenly dimmed.

It discovered that the Water Spirit Pearl, which was the size of an adult's fist, had not only lost its luster, but its size was also shrinking rapidly.

In a short while, the enormous pearl shrank to the size of a longan.

Its luster was warm and gentle, no longer dazzling, but white with a hint of blue, which was quite beautiful.

At first glance, it looks like a white pearl with a slight blue glow!
The most amazing thing was that the little hedgehog had a thought in its mind at that moment, and secretly thought:
"Although this pearl has become smaller and is no longer as dazzling as a luminous pearl, it is still inconvenient to carry around such a lonely pearl."

It can't be put into a storage pouch. If it's hidden away, how can it absorb the essence of the sun and moon?
"It would be wonderful if this could be set into a hairpin or woven into a hairband."

Thinking this, the small golden cage that had been vaguely shrouded the Water Soul Pearl suddenly changed shape again.

The golden runes gradually converged and intertwined, connecting the two sides of the pearl.

Then the gold threads stretched out, crisscrossing and weaving together, and in a short while, a hair ribbon about a foot long extended from each side of the pearl!
The golden hair ribbon, at first glance, appears to be made of pure gold. It is scattered on both sides of the pearl, yet it also appears very elegant.

The little hedgehog blinked, finding it utterly amazing, and couldn't help but think:

"Gold is still too eye-catching and doesn't quite suit Brother Chen's temperament. What if we could change it again?"

The thought had barely formed when the color of the hair ribbon changed again.

But as the golden light faded, the flowing hair ribbon turned into a deep, dark blue-gray, like rippling water.

It was scattered around the headboard, with a bright pearl in the center. At first glance, it was not conspicuous, but upon closer inspection, it could be seen to have an extraordinary texture and an indescribable mysterious beauty.

Wei Yuan's heart pounded with joy and surprise.

Although it couldn't understand what caused all these changes, whether it had suddenly acquired some amazing ability or had accidentally discovered the true use of the "Symbol" book.
But joy ultimately outweighed curiosity, and it raised its head and exclaimed, "Brother Chen, look!"

She looked up and met Chen Xu's smiling gaze.

It turned out that Chen Xu had woken up from his meditation at some point. Although he had been silent, he had actually been watching the changes in the Water Spirit Pearl in front of him.

Wei Yuan was overjoyed and quickly said, "Brother Chen, you're awake! That's wonderful! Look at this hairband!"

"Take a look, has the spiritual power of the Water Spirit Pearl been damaged?"

It feared that shrinking the Water Spirit Pearl would damage the treasure.

Chen Xu picked up the hair ribbon beside him, carefully sensing the aura fluctuations of this treasure as he spoke:

"Divine objects conceal themselves. After this change, the Water Soul Pearl's spirituality was not only not damaged, but it also gained an additional layer of concealment."

In the future, even if I absorb the essence of the sun and moon at any time, it will not attract the attention of others. How wonderful!

Then, he took the pages of the book "Fu" that Wei Yuan had just opened.

But the page was blank; the strange patterns that had been drawn on the page had vanished into thin air.

Only a small line of text is left in the bottom right corner of the blank page: Myriad Changes and Auspicious Symbol.

This is precisely a talismanic art where change is made at will!

Chen Xu looked at Wei Yuan, who looked at him with a blank expression.

Half an hour later, the human and the demon reached a conclusion through mutual analysis and communication.

Wei Yuan said, "So, it's because my desire to learn the method of concealment and transformation was too strong, so much so that the Book of Talismans was triggered, which touched the Myriad Transformations Talisman within it."

This is a clue that my teacher left for me in the book.

When I opened the book of "Talismans" and asked for permission in every possible way, a sudden inspiration struck me, and I... I... Wei Yuan never imagined that there was such a secret in his book.

Therefore, as the teacher once said, "When you have a question, you should open the book to find the answer."

So this is what "finding the answer" is all about!
Wei Yuan felt a great shock, and a long-lost sense of emotion washed over him once again.

It looked at the book of talismans in its hand, then at Chen Xu in front of it, and suddenly it vaguely understood another passage that its teacher had once said:

“Ah Yuan, if you want to truly cultivate into human form, you must first understand human nature.”

There's no need to ask what human relationships are; you'll understand them one day once you enter the world.

I only hope that the day you understand will not be one of sorrow and grief, but of boundless joy.

The teacher left a long time ago, yet he seems to be everywhere.

Wei Yuan suddenly stretched out his little hand and drew strokes on the blank page of the book of talismans. He said happily, "Brother Chen, you should also learn this talisman."

You once said that nothing is stronger than yourself.

I know this rune, and I hope you do too.

You are smarter than me. I didn't understand it, but you will definitely be able to learn it easily and thoroughly.

Can you teach me then?

"That's interesting," Chen Xu replied with a smile.

The so-called "Myriad Transformations Talisman" is actually more than just able to control the appearance of various spiritual objects—

If one can only control the appearance of a spirit, making it bigger or smaller, or causing other derivative changes, then at most, this is just a spell to manipulate spirits, complementing the spell of spirit control.

But in reality, true all-encompassing change means that everything can change, and this should naturally include the practitioner himself!
For example, if Wei Yuan can shrink the Water Soul Pearl, then it should also be able to shrink or enlarge itself.

Going a step further, it should also be able to control its own shape and variations.

For example, having horns on its head or sharp claws on its hands.

Furthermore, it is not impossible that in the future, he could transform into a body ten or even a hundred feet long, achieving an effect similar to the transformation of heaven and earth.

This is the power of the Myriad Transformations Talisman!

The mysterious book box behind the little hedgehog is indeed a treasure trove; exploring it further at any time will yield wonderful surprises.

Unfortunately, Wei Yuan's understanding of this talisman was too shallow. Controlling the changes of a single Water Soul Pearl was something he had to stumble and stumble through before he could complete it.

It is absolutely impossible for it to regain control of itself in the short term.

While Chen Xu observed the lines of the rune, he only memorized the direction of the lines in the beginning. However, when he reached out to draw the rune, he instantly transformed his body into a height of nearly ten feet.

As soon as he stood up, his head hit the roof beam.

Just as Wei Yuan had said, Chen Xu's comprehension far surpassed that of the other.

Learn it simply, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Chen Xu, who was ten feet tall, took only two steps on the floor before instantly returning to his original height.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but rather that he was a beginner and his control over the runes was unstable.

The two, one human and one demon, exchanged a glance. Chen Xu smiled slightly and was about to say something when suddenly a long horn sounded from the deck.

"We've arrived at Pingyang Port, the ship needs to dock!"
