Find the Beacon, Avoid It

Chu Tianshu doesn't really care about whether he has hair or not, really.

However, it's important to pay attention to hair loss if you don't even notice it yourself.

Does this mean that one's sensitivity to the area above their head has decreased, or that one's spiritual awareness is not comprehensive enough?

He took his pulse and found that the energy within his body was chaotic and lingering.

Lin Chucheng noticed that he seemed to be in a state where a doctor couldn't treat himself, so he came over and took his pulse.

Chu Tianshu quickly lowered his left hand to make it easier for Lin Chucheng to examine him.

"What trick did you just use? Cauldron Boil vitality, like boiling oil over a raging fire, and it's still going strong. But it's a method that overdraws your life force, and now it's bound to have some backlash."

Lin Chucheng raised his right arm, placed three fingers on Chu Tianshu's wrist, his small face full of seriousness, and then touched the crystal on the back of Chu Tianshu's hand with his fingernail.

"These crystals of yours seem to be products of a highly refined mixture of internal energy and blood qi. It would be best to cultivate and nourish them, softening them and slowly drawing them back into your body."

"Once it's all gone, most of your aftereffects should have subsided, and your hair will have a chance to grow back, but your lifespan..."

The Bai He flew over crookedly and said, "The plantation already has quite a few medicinal products; see if we can replenish them?"

"Lifespan isn't something that can be easily extended."

Lin Chucheng shook his head and said, "Tianshu, I remember you have a method for refining life force and vital energy. When we return to reality, you can extract some life force from my true body to replenish yourself."

Back then, Lin Chucheng absorbed the special primordial energy from the stone tablet of the Queen Mother of the West's Kingdom. Without entering the Taboo, he had already rejuvenated. Later, he mastered the secret realm in the northwest and often cultivated in it.

Its vitality is far beyond what is normal.

Although the possessed body brought him almost all of his combat power, its vitality was still inferior to that of his true body.

Chu Tianshu smiled and withdrew his hand, "That's not necessary."

As long as the hair grows back soon, that's fine.

As for lifespan, he was already young, with over a hundred years to spare. Even after using forbidden techniques, he still had over thirty years left.

Moreover, once he cultivates another Leakless, he can replenish some of his lifespan. If he cultivates the Returning Light, he will benefit even more.

Lin Chucheng said seriously, "Your current life state is equivalent to that of a 120-year-old man."

"This state will have some imperceptible effects on cultivation efficiency, the effectiveness of elixirs absorption, and even one's state of mind; it should not be taken lightly."

Chu Tianshu smiled and said, "I have cultivated a Leakless, reaching the Mortal Transcendence Great Accomplishment. Mortal Transcendence Great Accomplishment who is one hundred and twenty years old is different from ordinary cultivators who have lived for two cycles of sixty years."

This involves Lin Chucheng's blind spots in knowledge.

He does have some friends who are 120 years old, but none of them have yet Mortal Transcendence Great Accomplishment.

Chu Tianshu, however, had an "old" friend Hai Donglai, with whom he had long sought advice.

"Senior Lin, don't even mention me. Although you're currently in a possessed body, you've brought most of your cultivation with you. Dividing your beastly energy among those four spirits would only hinder your future cultivation..."

When this was mentioned, a slight smile appeared on Lin Chucheng's pale face.

"I had no choice but to do what was just now, but since I survived this battle, it might not all be bad in the future..."

The stone tablet in the Queen Mother of the West's Kingdom possesses both powerful vitality and bestial nature.

When Lin Chucheng was cultivating recently, he often felt itchy at the roots of his teeth, his canine teeth were growing too fast, and even his tailbone was a little itchy.

The "Gongcao and Taichong Resonance Chapter" he cultivated originally Gongcao Natal Sign as the Tiger zodiac sign and Taichong Natal Sign as the Rabbit zodiac sign, which had the imagery of a balance between the Tiger and the Rabbit.

He used his Renowned Teacher Persona and the vitality of his students to complement his original training methods, and he did a very balanced job.

However, in reality, the longer the tiger-like features appear, the better, as they tend to overpower or even completely overwhelm the rabbit-like features.

This is precisely the lingering influence of the Queen Mother of the West's Kingdom.

If this continues, Lin Chucheng may grow tiger teeth and a leopard tail, completely transforming into the state of the ancient Queen Mother of the West's clan.

"Tiger teeth, leopard tail?"

Chu Tianshu raised an eyebrow, thought about the child with superb boxing skills and the appearance of having an extra tail, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Snort!"

Lin Chucheng snorted lightly, "Even if there's to be change, it can't be an uncontrollable change; that's just superficial growth. This time, I've sacrificed a lot of my animalistic nature, so it'll be a good opportunity for tempering."

Small floral patterns drifted by.

Lin Chucheng turned his gaze to the Nine Bends Stream, which was now unrecognizable, and looked at the corpses of the spirits.

The previous battles were not very long.

However, the counterattacks launched by those powerful spirits who knew they were poisoned were completely reckless, disregarding their own exhaustion and the loss of limbs, unleashing all their supernatural powers.

Every second of their battle felt like a brush with death, a constant struggle between the two.

When the battle was over, the group was still somewhat unable to savor the taste of victory.

Now, after seeing each other and talking for so long, a great sense of exhaustion and a real feeling of victory welled up in my heart.

"This is also a form of tempering."

Lin Chucheng said softly, "We need to adapt more quickly. In the future, humanity will have to deal with all sorts of strange and wonderful supernatural abilities."

Chu Tianshu nodded slightly and turned to look at the sky.

When it comes to dealing with Taboo experts or even unexpected attacks from other places, Chu Tianshu is the most experienced among them.

However, the large hand that appeared when Yu Huangfen failed still sends chills down his spine when he thinks about it now.

He summoned his token.

Yuan Buyu, in the end, actually died at the Yu Huangfen, which prevented him from receiving the materials for his token.

However, Yu Huangfen himself transformed into the ritual fragrance that guided the giant black hand, but the fragrance was shattered by Chu Tianshu.

The token has been received!

[Soul-Transferring Ancient Corpse:]

From general to bandit to butcher, from king to beggar to executioner, life after life is like clouds and mud, but only the knife and death are unavoidable.

Characteristics: First, Yin Father Yang Poison. The blade is like the ultimate Yin, embracing all things, just as Yin and Yang are united. The blade's energy is the father, and external objects are the mother; parents give birth to children.

After the sword energy injures the target, it can continue to grow and change on its own without the sword master's intervention. Its nature is specifically designed to counter the target, and its power increases day by day until death.

Second, the All Hearts Turn Toward Death death, becoming almost fanatical. Once this characteristic takes hold, the entire army is unconsciously corrupted, singing as if facing their blades, fighting recklessly, laughing at dismemberment, and regarding death as honey.

[Fangfeng Evil Spirit:]

The Fangfeng Clan's Celestial Wizard, wielding ancient history and scheming against wind and rain, encounters Wangliang in a dream and goes astray, transforming into an evil being over a century.

Characteristics: Returning Wind Curse Seal. Impressions of external things, like the wind blowing into the heart, even if incomplete, can condense into a seal.

When necessary, the curse seal can be reversed like a strong wind, capable of stripping away the qualities that most resonate with the mind's impression from the target.

[Fangfeng Evil Spirit:]

The shaman of the Fangfeng Clan, who measures the depth of the fields and the changes in the water veins, is delighted to encounter Wangliang who harbor evil thoughts.

Special Feature: Measure the Heart, Intercept the Shadow. It can measure the opponent's mental fluctuations, mental trends, and signs of physical movement. With fine markings, it can replicate the opponent's moves with 70% of its power.

Those who have replicated a move before will have the ability to anticipate similar intentions and intercept it midway, making it easy to break through.

Chu Tianshu himself had experienced firsthand the methods of the Heavenly Official.

The single word "medicine" incantation nearly caused Chu Tianshu's medical-related memories to leave his body.

If we hadn't thoroughly investigated the situation beforehand and acted swiftly, the Heavenly Official, blessed by the altar, would have been a huge problem.

And the Earth Governor actually has this characteristic?

It's merely a replica of a move I've seen before; it's not very useful and only has about 70% of its power.

However, it is interesting that once a similar move is replicated, it can be predicted and intercepted in the future.

How is "similarity" determined?

For example, if a set of palm techniques is logically consistent and interconnected, with one hundred moves, can one predict the other ninety-nine moves after seeing just one of them?

Or, if any palm technique created by humans uses earth elements and visualizes the same hill, is it possible to predict the others after seeing just one set?

Most people wouldn't be able to Earth Governor themselves to this extent.

But if we use his unique characteristics to optimize his martial arts, once he has mastered them, he might even outperform the Earth Governor himself.

But the other features also seem pretty good.

Chu Tianshu hesitated for a moment.

Wei Qidong, having contained her injuries, stood up and said, "The most urgent task is to find the place where the Heaven and Earth Palaces store their ancient texts."

"We need to understand as soon as possible how the altars of the Heaven and Earth Palaces create the effect of the illuminating lamps, and then do our utmost to avoid this effect!"
