Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 6: The body is so fast that it flies, stretching the muscles and pulling out the pulse

No additional rituals, including offerings of livestock or chanting, are required for invoking spirits.

After all, even an incomplete Water Emperor is still an emperor, so why should he show any courtesy to his subordinate gods?
As Chen Shunan's gaze focused on things like the 'anchovy', a piece of information surfaced in his mind—

[All necessary items for the divination have been obtained. Shall we choose Qingji?]

【Yes! 】

Without hesitation, Chen Shunan's mind raced, and an invisible force swept across the anchovy on the table.

The anchovy is only the size of a palm, covered with thin, round scales, but has two distinctive lines on its back that are very eye-catching. It is worth three taels of silver.

At this moment, the anchovy's body visibly shrank and dimmed.

In the end, it was nothing but an empty shell, all the essence and precious energy within it dissipated.

A gentle breeze rises from the ground.

The wind made the lotus leaves, cinnabar, and yellow paper rustle and swirl, gradually forming the shape of a small person.

call out!
The essence and precious energy of the anchovy were released into the gentle breeze.

A flash of golden light appeared, and Qing Ji, a creature the size of a thumb, riding a precious fish and wearing a lotus leaf on his head, appeared before Chen Shunan.

Upon seeing this, Chen Shunan suddenly understood.

When inviting a deity to descend, one must naturally prepare a suitable vessel or body for the deity, whether it be a clay or straw sculpture, a wooden or stone tablet, or even the body of the person inviting the deity!

As the Water Emperor, even with his incomplete divine essence, he was not someone that ordinary saints could possess.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare external objects such as anchovies to serve as the vessel for the spirit's possession!
Xiao Qingji's eyes were lifeless, and he instinctively bowed three times to Chen Shunan.

It then transformed into a ray of divine light and adhered to the area between Chen Shunan's legs.

Then, a dramatic change occurred!
Chen Shunan felt as if his legs were being swallowed by lava, his bones, muscles and skin instantly burning, surging and churning blood, causing his legs to buckle and him to kneel down.

"I****!!!"

Chen Shunan lost his temper and cursed loudly, then quickly restrained himself, clenching his fists and biting the table leg to avoid attracting the attention of the neighbors.

Sweat blurred his vision, but Chen Shunan could vaguely see that Xiao Qingji had obtained Chen Shunan's permission.

They worked very hard to drill holes, stretch tendons, and expand veins between Chen Shunan's legs.

Chen Shunan's leg tendons writhed like mercury; his bones cracked and popped... as if undergoing fine-tuning, developing towards a more perfect, more godlike direction.

After an unknown amount of time, the transformation was completed, and the excruciating pain disappeared.

Xiao Qingji transformed into a divine talisman invisible to others, disappearing into Chen Shunan's calf.

Chen Shunan stood up unsteadily, looking dazed...

literal meaning.

Chen Shunan felt his body become much lighter, as if he could easily leap onto the roof beam with a light jump.

He quickly took off his trousers and examined them closely, only to be surprised to find that his legs had become much longer, especially the 'Weizhong tendon' behind his knees.

Chen Shunan touched it with his fingers and immediately felt a hot, bouncy sensation, indicating that it would last much longer!

For every inch the tendons grow longer, life is extended by ten years.

The Weizhong tendon is a major tendon that cannot be ignored when practicing light body skills, standing meditation, and various boxing techniques!
The movement of both legs—straightening, bending, and relaxing—all depends on this Weizhong tendon!

The so-called poor aptitude and weak foundation.

This is because many body structures similar to the 'Weizhong Dajin' become thin, short, and fragile due to congenital heredity, poor development, and acquired limitations, making them unsuitable for martial arts requirements.

And now, Chen Shunan has actually stretched his muscles and tendons, and is living a second spring!

Moreover, the effect has not stopped; the hot, bouncy sensation lingers and seems to be subtly transforming the body.

[Qing Ji - Human-like Armored Horse: Swift as a flying duck, stretching tendons and pulling veins]

[Invest 2 points of divine power to upgrade to Cloud-Walking Armor Horse, swift as the clouds, with tiger tendons and leopard veins]

Once the herbal talisman is halfway complete, invest 5 points of divine power to choose the next deity.

Sensing the changes in his body, he looked at the information in his mind.

Chen Shunan couldn't hide his excitement, and felt even more confident.

Beset by the crisis of falling into a trap, he was like the sun and moon breaking through the dark clouds, seeing the road ahead clearly for the first time.

Chen Shunan understood the Holy Dynasty all too well. Power is fist, and money is the future. If you have both fist and money, then you have both power and a promising future!
Chen Shunan, he had it all. At this moment,

Chen Shunan's legs were like nails, firmly rooted, and his normally hunched shoulders were as straight as pine trees.

Then, as if he had thought of something, Chen Shunan silently hunched his back again, resuming his loose and slouching posture.

"Since things have come to this, let's have a midnight snack first."

……

Day two.

If it is an inauspicious sign, it indicates potential financial loss.

Do not use it for important matters; it is not advisable for any other matters.

Chen Shunan felt refreshed after a good night's sleep.

Opening his eyes and waiting a few breaths, Chen Shunan suddenly felt a strange sensation that had been absent for many days.

Chen Shunan got up happily, washed up, and sat in the main hall waiting for Wan Niang to feed him.

Today, Wan Niang wore a floral print blouse. Although it was made of coarse home-woven cloth, it was embroidered with pink lotus flowers with great care, which made Wan Niang's skin glow.

Breakfast consisted of fermented mung bean juice, fried dough rings, a plate of meat pies with door nails, and pickled radishes made by Wan Niang herself.

As Wan Niang served the dishes, she complained to Chen Shun'an.

"I don't know why, but the prices of grains, rice, oil, and salt in the market have all gone up overnight! Even this meat pie with door nails has almost doubled in price! Sigh, we can't live like this anymore..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shunan's heart stirred.

He thought of what San Dezi had said about buying a position.

If a large amount of silver is withdrawn in a short period of time, the amount of silver circulating in the market will decrease sharply, which will lead to an increase in the purchasing power of silver and a relative devaluation of copper coins, which means that prices will rise!
"Could this be an opportunity?"

Chen Shunan suddenly recalled some short-term arbitrage techniques from his previous life, such as buying low and selling high.

Last night, Chen Shunan practiced "Flying Immortal of Flesh" for two hours and benefited greatly.

His comprehension remained the same, but his innate talent had increased dramatically.

The details of energy application that were not very clear in the past are simply handed over to the legs, letting them practice on their own.

With each contraction of the tendons, one can instinctively find the pattern of energy application.

You don't even need to think about it.

If this progress continues, he will recover from his injuries in two days, return to his peak condition in three days, and break through to the second-rate realm in seven days!

For the first time in his life, Chen Shunan experienced the monstrous talent of a genius!
However, once one reaches the second-rate level, one needs various marrow-nourishing and bone-tempering medicines, medicinal baths, and dietary supplements.

If relying solely on human effort, it would take at least ten years of arduous work to achieve the level of resounding bone-shaking and bone marrow-vibrating sensation.

I have to take drugs!

Taking drugs is equivalent to spending money on in-game purchases!
Although Chen Shunan had some wealth, if he lived off his savings, he would eventually run out of money.

But... Chen Shunan can still hold on!

"No rush, things will work out in time. Making money through shady means is extremely risky. Right now, I don't have any other ways to make money, but if I break through to the second level, perhaps I can broaden my horizons and find other opportunities."

Chen Shunan, who is about to turn fifty, values ​​his life very much.

As for reaping the blessings and gathering incense offerings.

Chen Shunan already had a vague plan in his mind.

After all, the matter of incense offerings is the foundation of Chen Shun'an's career. Whether it is the completion of the herbal talisman or the upgrading and selection of divine forms, it is inseparable from incense offerings.

After finishing his meal, Chen Shunan put his hands behind his back, took his pipe and water bag, and leisurely went out to go on duty.

Wan Niang gave Chen Shun'an a strange look.

For some reason, she felt that Chen Shunan had become different today.

Confident and composed, strolling leisurely...

Most importantly, his gaze toward himself was direct and frank, no longer showing the 'lack of energy' he used to have.

Wan Niang asked in surprise, "It's standing up?"
