Gao Xian remembered clearly that his Humanity Aura had originally been 335 points. He had spent two points for testing, leaving him with 333.
How had it returned to 335?
Where did these two additional points of Humanity Aura come from? He had only seen three people today.
Gao Xian couldn't help but think of the complex look in Sister Lan's eyes when she left. Could it have something to do with her?
Unfortunately, there was no way to verify it.
These few points of Humanity Aura weren't of much use, and he didn't have the time to look into it deeply right now.
Gao Xian tapped his fingers rapidly, pouring three hundred points into Lightning Dragon Hand, instantly upgrading it from Proficient to Expert level.
Lightning Dragon Hand: When performing fixed, simple movements, hand speed is super fast. The hands conceal the power of lightning, capable of bringing intense, wonderful sensations to the object of contact. (1/400 Expert)
Gao Xian keenly noticed the change in the description; Lightning Dragon Hand had originally specified "certain" fixed simple movements, but upon reaching Expert level, the word "certain" had been removed.
In other words, as long as the movement was fixed and simple, his hand speed would be super fast.
Right, when he was adding points just now, his fingers had been abnormally fast, tapping one hundred and thirteen times in two or three seconds.
Besides, what was this "intense, wonderful sensation"?
The woman in the mirror who looked just like Sister Lan moved as well. She extended her slender, delicate fingers, performing a few simple actions like curling her fingers, making a fist, and waving.
The movements of the woman's hands grew faster and faster, yet the expression on her beautiful face became increasingly charming. The way her eyes shimmered, seemingly shy yet delighted, made Gao Xian's heart sway, wishing he could dive in and join the young lady.
In a daze, Gao Xian felt his hands go numb and tingly, as if being electrocuted, while simultaneously swelling and heating up.
He looked at his own hands; lightning flickered beneath his skin, and the muscles, tendons, and bones within his palms seemed to be constantly adjusting and changing.
Gao Xian suddenly gained an epiphany: Lightning Dragon Hand would alter the state of his hands, allowing them to become faster and steadier.
He also understood at once that although these movements of the Lightning Dragon Hand were simple, they covered most scenarios involving the use of hands.
Gao Xian felt invigorated; this skill wasn't entirely useless after all.
If he upgraded it further, perhaps more restrictions could be removed, allowing his fast hands to be applied to a wider range of environments.
It was just that he didn't have enough Humanity Aura.
Great Idol Spirit Method could be upgraded, but what was the use of that thing?
Gao Xian felt he shouldn't act rashly and should investigate it clearly first.
He grabbed Little Black Cat by the scruff of its neck and hauled the little thing over.
Gao Xian's movement in grabbing the cat was extremely fast, so fast that the kitten didn't even have time to react.
Little Black Cat felt uncomfortable; it meowed twice, shaking its head and tail vigorously, its fur standing on end as it struggled to break free from Gao Xian's hand.
Gao Xian utilized the Lightning Dragon Hand, stroking along the kitten's fur.
"Meow... meow..."
The kitten, which had been struggling with all its might, immediately went limp. It lay obediently by Gao Xian's side, its eyes closing in comfort.
Its originally sharp cry had also turned into a soft, milky, adorable sound...
Gao Xian suddenly understood: Lightning Dragon Hand was actually a god-tier skill for petting cats!
After pondering for a long time, Gao Xian had roughly figured out the function of Lightning Dragon Hand.
Petting cats worked, and petting people worked too. If he used this skill to open a massage parlor, business would surely be booming, raking in money by the day!
The only problem was that it didn't solve his immediate dilemma.
Gao Xian suppressed his restless emotions and took out the Wind and Moon Mirror, his gaze falling upon the Great Idol Spirit Method.
The Great Idol Spirit Method was already at the Expert level, and it was only 80 points away from the next level.
Since the Humanity Aura was useless just sitting there, he might as well give it a try.
Gao Xian hardened his heart and added eighty points of Humanity Aura to the Great Idol Spirit Method.
Great Idol Spirit Method: Heart senses within, spirit descends without. High and low connect, the two qi combine to form a spirit. Endless wondrous uses. (1/5000 Master).
Seeing the data on the mirror, Gao Xian was a bit stunned. How had the points required for the upgrade increased tenfold upon reaching the Master level?
What was so special about this Master-level Great Idol Spirit Method?
Gao Xian couldn't help but look at Sister Lan inside the Wind and Moon Mirror. Sister Lan seemed to sense his gaze, lowering her head in shyness before turning gracefully and swaying as she walked deeper into the mirror.
A point of red candlelight emerged in the depths of the mirror, illuminating the beaded curtains.
Behind the curtains was a couch, covered in bright yellow mandarin duck embroidery, with a celadon jade pillow lying diagonally across it.
Sister Lan parted the beaded curtains, kicked off her embroidered shoes, and lay lazily on the couch with her back to Gao Xian.
Lying horizontally, the curves of Sister Lan's neck, shoulders, waist, hips, and legs fully displayed the beauty of a woman's soft and enchanting physique.
Her dress was disheveled, revealing half of her slender calves and snow-white jade feet.
The swaying beaded curtains reflected thousands of points of flowing light, and Sister Lan behind the light appeared even more dreamlike and alluring.
Looking at Sister Lan's enchanting and beautiful figure, Gao Xian's mouth went dry. This was much more stimulating than those Japanese teachers.
Gao Xian suddenly realized that he was already standing in front of the beaded curtains, though he didn't know when he had arrived there.
Sister Lan behind the beaded curtain felt almost within reach.
"This, this, isn't this inappropriate..." Gao Xian was caught in a fierce internal conflict; he desperately wanted to walk over and enjoy the beautiful night.
But he knew very well that Sister Lan was not a True Person, but merely an Idol Spirit he had conjured, a phantom existing within the Wind and Moon Mirror.
Doing this was truly somewhat shameful...
While Gao Xian was locked in an internal struggle, Sister Lan on the brocade couch slowly turned toward him and smiled enchantingly, her flowing gaze filled with charm and tenderness.
Seeing Gao Xian remain still, Sister Lan beckoned to him with a slightly flirtatious crook of her finger.
That light gesture stirred up a tempest, overturning all of Gao Xian's reason.
After it was over, Gao Xian sat on the bed, feeling as though he had just delved deep into the Wind and Moon Mirror, engaging in passionate intimacy with Sister Lan within that exquisite, ornate boudoir.
It was as if real, yet illusory; impossible to clearly define.
The two energies merged, spirits communing and intentions stirring, as if entering a supreme, wondrous realm. Within his body, essence and energy flowed into the spirit, then returned from the spirit to the energy, circulating without end.
What Gao Xian was certain of was that this act was not only harmless to his body, but instead purified his essence and energy while strengthening his spirit.
This secret technique was peerlessly profound. Through this method of communion, spirit, energy, and essence would grow increasingly robust, and the Idol Spirit Sister Lan would also become ever more powerful.
A master-level Sister Lan could even enter the space between his eyebrows to help him condense his Dharma Seal.
For a cultivator, the first key to practicing and casting spells was to visualize the Dharma Seal within their mental world.
Only a fully formed Dharma Seal could gather and circulate the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
Having inherited a portion of the original owner's memories, Gao Xian knew that the Dharma Seal was the key to cultivation and spellcasting.
With Sister Lan helping to condense the Dharma Seal, it saved him time and energy on visualization—it was incredibly useful!
However, this secret technique ultimately carried that kind of implication. It clashed just a little bit with the moral education Gao Xian had received.
Therefore, he felt at least a little bit embarrassed.
But Sister Lan smiled at him, and she even beckoned to him—who the hell could resist that!
