Fate, Truly Wonderful

Early the next morning, Shi Feizhe got up early to practice his stance and exercises. He also helped the elderly landlord couple chop some firewood.

In return, he got an extra mixed-grain steamed bun for breakfast.

After eating, Shi Feizhe took the copied Nether Springs Divine Shadow Record, a stack of new yellow paper, and a charcoal pencil, and headed to Three Talents Manor.

While practicing his stance earlier, he had already made his plan. For the next half month, he would practice the True Origin Sword Finger Technique in the morning, then spend the daytime at Three Talents Manor studying the Nether Springs Divine Shadow Record. The following month, he would find a job to support himself while continuing his practice.

In three to five years, he would no longer be a mere laborer!

Perhaps because he arrived early today, there were still relatively few people at Three Talents Manor. Shi Feizhe came to the stone tablet forest where the Nether Springs Divine Shadow Record was recorded, and there was no one else there. Instead, there were a few well-dressed people discussing the Immovable Wisdom King Contemplation Method.

Shi Feizhe took out the Nether Springs Divine Shadow Record he had copied the day before yesterday and began to squat on the ground, comparing it with the text on the stone tablets.

This was a review to prevent any errors from the previous copying.

While he was checking, Shi Feizhe suddenly felt someone tap him.

He looked up and saw Hua Xiaomei, dressed in a blue-green long robe.

With a "swish," Hua Xiaomei opened the folding fan in his hand. That was what he had used to tap Shi Feizhe just now.

"Little brother, you really came to Three Talents Manor!" he said.

Shi Feizhe saw that one side of his fan had the words "Utterly Ordinary" written on it.

"So it's Brother Hua!" Shi Feizhe stood up and cupped his fist towards Hua Xiaomei.

"Little brother came to Three Talents Manor and didn't even tell me!" He looked at Shi Feizhe, who was holding a charcoal pencil and yellow paper, and added.

"I didn't know where Brother Hua was!" Shi Feizhe replied.

"Ah?" Hua Xiaomei was taken aback and said, "I think I said I was at Three Talents Manor, didn't I?"

"Weren't you here to do something at Three Talents Manor? Haven't you finished yet?" Shi Feizhe said, pretending to be confused.

He actually didn't want to trouble others. Especially someone like Hua Xiaomei, who clearly looked like a martial arts expert, carrying the arrogance of a master in his every move. The gap between him and these people was quite large right now. Rashly seeking out such a person felt like offering a warm face to a cold backside.

Just wait a few years, hmph hmph...

"Things are a bit complicated, and I haven't finished yet!" Hua Xiaomei saw the Nether Springs Divine Shadow Record in front of Shi Feizhe, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes. He said, "Little brother, are you interested in this cultivation method?"

"That's right! This cultivation method is relatively complete! I even copied it down, preparing to study it slowly!" Shi Feizhe said, holding the yellow paper in his hand.

"Oh? I wonder how much little brother has understood?" Hua Xiaomei said.

"About fifty to sixty percent! Some parts I don't understand what they mean!" Shi Feizhe said.

Hua Xiaomei looked at Shi Feizhe again, sighed, and said, "I didn't expect little brother to be so intelligent. It's a pity you didn't join a good sect! Otherwise, if you had practiced martial arts from a young age, you might already be somewhat famous by now!"

"Understanding fifty to sixty percent is considered intelligent?" Shi Feizhe said.

"Martial arts manuals are both difficult and simple. Experts can deduce martial arts manuals from a high perspective, and can even force people to practice and verify the cultivation methods!" Hua Xiaomei suddenly said with emotion, as if he had thought of something:

"I have some research on this Nether Springs Divine Shadow Record. Meeting little brother again today must be fate. I will explain it to little brother once. As for how much little brother can remember, that is also fate!"

"Ah?" Shi Feizhe was stunned, then overjoyed, and blurted out, "Really?"

"Fate is wonderful and inexplicable! Listen to my voice transmission!" Saying this, Hua Xiaomei focused his voice into a beam and transmitted it into Shi Feizhe's ear, explaining the Nether Springs Divine Shadow Record to Shi Feizhe from the beginning!

From blood qi and moves to the effects of medicinal herbs, everything was explained in detail.

Shi Feizhe knew he couldn't miss this opportunity, so he quickly listened carefully and diligently took notes on the yellow paper with his charcoal pencil.

Hua Xiaomei looked at the stone tablet forest and spoke for a full hour, explaining everything clearly. He saw Shi Feizhe burying his head and taking notes with the charcoal pencil, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Little brother, this is fate!

Who told you to practice the Nether Springs Divine Shadow Record!

Even if he didn't say anything, in a few days someone would gradually communicate with Shi Feizhe, intentionally or unintentionally revealing various details of the Nether Springs Divine Shadow Record.

This Nether Springs Divine Shadow Record was precisely the medicinal human cultivation method of the Eastern Mountain God Prison Law Codex that he practiced.

The so-called medicinal human is to cultivate a person into a great medicine for a certain cultivation method.

Planting spiritual herbs that are heavenly materials and earthly treasures takes decades or even centuries, and requires careful nurturing to prevent theft and snatching/robbing. It is simply too inefficient.

Why not let people cultivate themselves into a great medicine? When the cultivation method is used, not only can one seize all of that person's true qi, but also seize that person's root bone essence to supplement oneself. It is truly the best method for rapid cultivation!

The most wonderful thing is that this set of cultivation methods is hidden within this stone tablet forest, available for anyone to choose.

Who would suspect that the cultivation method they chose has a problem?

Who would suspect that the cultivation method they obtained through great effort has a problem?

They will only desperately earn money to buy medicinal herbs and desperately cultivate, hoping to seize that sliver of opportunity that can change their destiny.

Finally, when they encounter demonic sect members like Hua Xiaomei, they will be plundered without any suspense.

One day, when this little brother, whose surname he couldn't recall, has all his cultivation plundered, he wonders if he will regret this fate?

He wonders how interesting his eyes will be then?

Hua Xiaomei looked at Shi Feizhe, whose hands were covered in black charcoal, with a smiling face and said gently, "Does little brother have any other questions?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shi Feizhe said repeatedly. It was hard to come by an opportunity that would allow him to obtain a complete martial arts manual. He definitely had to ask the questions in his heart.

Indeed, a smiling social animal will not have too bad luck!

My luck is just too good!

Shi Feizhe was even more convinced that he was a lucky boy.

He asked Hua Xiaomei several questions, all things he hadn't understood when she was explaining earlier. Especially the Blood Qi Spirit, and how the four combined to condense True Qi; he really didn't quite grasp it.

Hua Xiaomei wasn't impatient at all. She explained to Shi Feizhe with great patience, saying, "The combination of Essence, Qi, Spirit, and Blood Qi Spirit, the stage of Seeing Truth, is quite profound."

"Take me for example. When I was little, before I started practicing martial arts, I was quite introverted and quiet. But after practicing martial arts, I always had a surge of energy that made me want to punch someone."

"As a result, my half-baked skills naturally led to me getting thrashed."

"But after practicing martial arts, with my Blood Qi surging, a kind of courage naturally arose in my heart, as if nothing in the world could defeat me!"

"That strong?" Shi Feizhe asked.

"Haha~ That's actually all an illusion," Hua Xiaomei said with a smile. "After Essence and Spirit are perfected, you just feel radiant and full of energy. The power throughout your body, combined with the thoughts in your heart and the spirit in your heart, just merge like that, and True Qi is formed."

What kind of fate? It's all just a routine!
