Chapter 28 Anomaly
Bai Sheng stared longingly.
The second bowl of dark brown medicinal soup in the casserole dish...
The bitterness can be smelled from a great distance.
but,
He now possesses second-order perception.
We're not just passively enduring the fumes anymore!
It can completely suppress olfactory and gustatory signals.
Bai Sheng picked up the bowl and tried it.
Focus your attention on the sensory nerves in the nasal cavity and on the surface of the tongue.
Forcibly suppressing the sensitivity of perception downwards.
It's probably impossible to achieve that 100%.
But there's still a 70-80% chance.
The medicine was brought to his lips.
That pungent bitterness was compressed to a mere trace.
He gulped it down, and the warm medicine flowed down his throat into his stomach.
There was no bitterness, only a warm feeling spreading from my stomach throughout my body.
Like soaking in constant-temperature hot water,
From the stomach to three inches below the navel, and then slowly spreading from the lower abdomen to the extremities.
The coldness in my hands and feet was gradually dispelled by this warmth.
Comfortable……
Bai Sheng leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes to feel the spread of the medicine throughout his body.
Before bed,
He took out the small wooden figure made of locust wood.
The little man has been secretly nurturing himself for a day.
The blood-red color on the surface of the locust wood has faded somewhat.
It changed from dark red to light brown.
He pricked his finger again with a sewing needle.
A poke, and a drop of blood seeped out and dripped onto it.
Then put the little figure back into the cardboard box and cover it up.
Lie back in bed,
The calico cat was crumpled up in a cardboard box in his bedroom.
As usual, Fat Orange was lying behind the door.
Bai Sheng closed his eyes.
He almost hit the pillow with the back of his head.
Then I entered the deep sleep.
……
When I woke up again,
Bai Sheng took out his phone and glanced at it.
12:43 PM!
He stared at the numbers on the screen for a full three seconds.
I slept from the night before until noon the next day.
It lasted for more than twelve hours.
And he slept very soundly.
No dreams, no waking up in the middle of the night.
It is very deep sleep.
"It's a cloudy day today, and the pollution is a bit moderate?"
Bai Sheng touched his forehead.
My head is no longer as foggy as it was yesterday.
My hands and feet are no longer cold.
When I stood up, I found my knees were still a little weak.
It's like the lingering weakness after recovering from a cold...
My body hasn't fully recovered yet.
But it's much better than yesterday.
"A miracle drug!"
Bai Sheng pondered to himself,
If this prescription were sold...
How much money can be sold?
No no no,
He quickly rejected the idea.
There is no other reason,
I've never seen money, and I'm not interested in money...
No wonder!
The most important thing right now is time, time!
Can money buy time for cultivation?
cannot,
At the very least, making money is definitely not the top priority.
Selling a prescription involves a lot more complexities.
How much time and effort does it take?
In the end, success is not even guaranteed.
Bai Sheng quickly washed up.
The first thing I did was open the cardboard box and use my finger blood to nourish the little figure again.
Bai Sheng put the little man back.
I picked up my phone and ordered takeout.
The kind that serves six people.
"I still need to keep learning..."
Bai Sheng took out his Chinese textbook again.
I have to say, my current enthusiasm for learning is...
It feels like it's even better than when I was in my senior year of high school.
Bai Sheng spread his Chinese textbook out on his desk and flipped to the chapter "Free and Easy Wandering".
Stare at the first line of text for five seconds.
"In the Northern Sea there is a fish, its name is Kun..."
"What~"
Bai Sheng covered his temples with both hands.
I didn't absorb a single word.
The line of text seemed to float on the paper, with each stroke constantly shifting.
He rubbed his temples and closed his textbook.
My body is still weak.
Attention can only see the surface of the article.
However, the hidden cultivation techniques described later in the article are not visible.
It can't hold anything...
"Don't rush."
He locked the textbook back in the drawer, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh.
The Mysterious Qi Technique progressed from the beginner level to the Great Perfection in just one night.
This speed is already quite fast.
"Don't rush it!"
Bai Sheng pondered to himself,
I decided to go for a walk after dinner.
I rode my bike around the city.
Let's see if we can stumble upon any opportunity.
After all, breakthroughs aren't only possible through cultivation.
Opportunity is equally important.
And often it is the key...
Since things have come to this, let's eat first.
The takeout has arrived.
We finished the takeout for six people.
He threw the empty lunchbox into the trash can.
Getting ready to go out,
suddenly,
Boom!
Thump, thump!
A faint noise suddenly came from the bedroom.
If Bai Sheng hadn't possessed extraordinary perception, he would have definitely missed this commotion.
He glanced again at the three flowers and the fat orange cat in the room.
It has been determined that these two are not the culprits.
Entering the bedroom,
Bai Sheng listened carefully.
It's finally settled.
The sound was coming from the direction of the desk.
It's in the bottom drawer of the desk, the one with the lock.
The drawer was not opened.
But something was moving inside the drawer!
He took out his key and turned the lock.
Open the drawer.
The snake-shaped necklace lying on the drawer mat,
A slight vibration.
It spontaneously vibrates from the inside out.
The entire snake's body bounced gently on the mat.
Simultaneously,
Those two snake eyes, smaller than grains of rice.
A very faint purple light flickered from within.
With the tremor, it flickered between light and darkness.
It's like some kind of signal.
Sanhua followed and saw this scene.
Its tail wagged restlessly.
"My magical artifact... what happened to it?"
Bai Sheng gently took the necklace out of the drawer.
Place it in your palm.
The snake's body trembled a few times in his palm.
Suddenly stopped
at the same time,
The snake's head tilted slightly, pointing out the window.
Southeast direction.
A purple light flickered deep within the snake's eyes.
It's like responding to a distant call.
Bai Sheng hung the necklace around his neck.
Then he turned around and went downstairs.
Fat Orange hesitated for a moment,
She jumped off the sofa and followed him out the door.
……
"Where are we going?"
Bai Sheng hopped on a shared bicycle.
With a kick,
Ride southeast.
Fat Orange kept following.
I tried my best to keep up with the bicycle with my four short legs.
Bai Sheng looked back.
It neither slowed down nor stopped.
This cat is, after all, an ancient, primordial beast.
Following the car should be no problem either.
Of course,
If you can't keep up, that's okay.
That's because you're not good at it.
The snake-shaped necklace hanging around her neck continued to vibrate.
Bai Sheng could feel it even through his T-shirt.
After riding for about two kilometers...
The purple light in the snake's eyes was no longer the faint, flickering glow it once was.
Instead, it remained steadily lit.
Fortunately, the T-shirt fabric is quite thick.
It won't attract the attention of others.
Bai Sheng tried touching the snake's body with his finger.
Nothing much different from usual...
The instant he touched the snake scales,
A message entered his mind without warning.
It was a kind of perception that was directly instilled into consciousness.
Bai Sheng simultaneously comprehended more than a dozen ideas that had been compressed into fragments.
This snake-shaped necklace is called "Nine Netherworld Soul-Capturing Guide".
It was a demonic serpent that fed on corpse energy after its death.
It was a magical artifact made by sealing its essence into snake bones.
The reason this thing keeps glowing is...
Just as Bai Sheng had guessed, it was indeed in response to some kind of summons.
But it wasn't a summons directed at any specific person.
Rather, it's a longing for a certain aura!
