Chapter 6, Neighbors

Big fool

The size of the space is less than one-fifth of that of a sleeve pocket

Hiss

"Dianjia Laosi, what are you doing!"

Lu Tong took out the camel's eye, cradled the bead with his hands crossed, entered the world of spirits, and practiced the technique "Six Qi Method of Spirit Conformity"

Hooves, I didn't realize you had this kind of skill. Let me give you a daughter; you can choose from the second, third, fourth, or fifth.

Human resources, quite normal

Ladies and gentlemen, today I would like to announce something. The tables and chairs in the tea house have become old, so I intend to renovate the tea house. In the future, in addition to tea, we will also sell some alcoholic beverages and marinated dishes. In other words, the tea house will be transformed into a tea and wine house

The neighboring pastry shop opened its oven, emitting a sharp hissing sound

The clouds and mist gather together, drifting left and right under the control of the spirit.

Oh dear

There is no need to expend mental effort to concentrate spiritual energy, and the training time has increased several times from the duration of a single incense stick. Moreover, there is no sensation of swelling in the center of the brow, allowing for continued practice

She spat out a thread of silk and climbed up to the beam.

The only one who knew about those past matters, the heart's affliction—Niaomao, has already been killed

Lu Tong took it out and discovered that the surface of the wooden box was sealed with a layer of wax that emitted a faint glow

The elder matriarch, the first husband, the second husband, the third husband, the eldest daughter, the second daughter, the third daughter

Lu Tong thought of a treasure, and his eyes involuntarily widened a little

Lu Tong played with it for a while and soon realized that it was a magical artifact for concealing one's form

Without prior preparation of the oil-water mixture, they spent more than half an hour trying to scrape the bird's feathered corpse off the floor and move it to the sleeping quarters

The place where the table and chairs used to be in the room is now occupied by a large, dark mass of something.

After returning, light the oil lamp and be careful to peel off the thin wax.

Lu Tong had a feeling that the bird feathers did not possess any powerful magical artifacts, nor did they have much silver; even the storage artifacts were of very low quality, likely due to this wooden box

The front end is shaped like a cloud

However, the laws of heaven and earth are incredibly profound, and in special environments, treasures imbued with rich spiritual energy may emerge

Lu Tong felt the magical power within his dantian and, somewhat surprised, extended his palm to attempt to channel the magic.

Unlike the endless devouring of magical power by the sleeve pouch, Lu Tong felt that his soul had opened another space with less than half of the magical power injected

The second, third, and fifth siblings, like their mother, are white-footed spider demons. They have not yet awakened their intelligence and cannot understand human speech

The feathers on the bird's body are completely stuck together with the adhesive used to trap eagles, and can only be removed with a specialized solvent.

Aunt Dian occupied more than half of the table by herself

The ruyi is smooth to the touch, with a total length of only one foot

The cultivation technique is in operation, yet the mouth has not yet opened to swallow the spiritual energy

The aura is ethereal and elusive, and cultivators can only perceive it through their spiritual senses

The laborers who frequently visit the tea house to drink tea earn only about 100 wen each day

Lu Tong saw that she still wanted to continue the entanglement, so he quickly interrupted her and shouted loudly to those around him

Fifty-six taels, which is much higher than the annual profit of the teahouse

Lu Tong awakened from his meditation

Among the Dianjia sisters, only the fourth sister awakened her intelligence early due to her half-demon heritage

Birds are naturally equipped with wings, allowing them to fly at low altitudes; this magical artifact is perfectly suited for their use

It is so troublesome to dismantle the room; just go and move the melting furnace from Liu the blacksmith's house. It would be much simpler to burn everything to ashes

The gold leaf emitted a bright golden glow, and at the moment the box was opened, countless slender golden rays of light shone forth

Lu Tong felt that Aunt Dian was not joking. He forced a smile and made an excuse to decline, saying: "Aunt, this teahouse barely supports both me and Da Han, how can it afford to take care of your fourth son"

In the courtyard behind the teahouse, a large pot was set up under the nightfall. The pot was filled to the brim with pork being cooked.

The other neighbors had no choice but to eat while standing

The remaining husbands and daughters huddled together, only daring to extend a spider leg or a hand to take some meat to eat

However, even though the sun has just risen today, the teahouse is already crowded with people

If discovered by a monk responsible for maintaining public order, it would be extremely dangerous

Lu Tong has finally entered the first layer of Qi training

Lu Tong attempted to infuse magical power into the Ruyi, and clouds of mist were expelled in billowing waves, quickly covering the entire bed

... ...

Lu Tong glanced at Aunt Dian's four daughters

The Fourth is a half-demon, and her biological father is unknown.

The vast majority of magical tools in the Qi Refinement stage do not have a master recognition formation; they can be used simply by infusing them with spiritual power

Reinsert the Ruyi into the finger ring

Only treasures imbued with spiritual energy, such as elixirs and spiritual waters, will be sealed using this method

Da Han suddenly sat up with a start, his eyes wide open as he asked, "Boss, what happened?"

He went out to wash his hands and conveniently had a bowl of pig offal

Spirit Pearl

The spirit pearl is one of the most common treasures

The son of the blacksmith Liu, along with his classmates from the private school, occupied a table. Eight little ones huddled together, each with a bowl of mixed stew containing pork, cabbage, and tofu in front of them

In the remaining space, apart from a few pairs of leather shorts, there is only a fist-sized redwood box left

With a sweep of his spirit, Lu Tong arranged eight horizontal and seven vertical lines, totaling fifty-six taels.

Upon opening the lid, there is a bead inside that is the size of a walnut

There is no need to expend mental effort on inhaling and exhaling; Lu Tong focuses intently on the method of circulating and refining spiritual energy

Lu Tong wiped the ring clean and infused it with magical power

The Qi Refinement stage consists of nine levels, with the first to third levels allowing the practitioner to extend their magical power from one inch to three inches away from their body

In the end, it was actually the fourth son of Aunt Dian's family who stood up first

The finger ring is a storage device for bird feathers

The head is not quite normal

After killing the bird at dawn, Lu Tong and Da Han spent half the night cleaning up. They barely finished clearing away the eagle that had been stuck, but the remaining broken wood and floor debris were still piled all over the ground

In the first two days, the teahouse earned less than 200 wen each day, amounting to only 6 taels of silver in a month

One cannot refuse a request when one has been fed, yet no one is eager to lend a hand

The fourth one resembles a human very much

Lu Tong said with a smile: "Since everyone has some free time, I would like to ask everyone to lend a hand in dismantling the teahouse"

Lu Tong stood by, marveling in admiration, secretly thinking that Aunt Dian is truly a remarkable figure among the extraordinary.

The flowing spiritual energy converges into the meridians, circulating for several cycles before disappearing into the dantian

The family of Aunt Dian, who sells noodles, occupied two tables

At the very bottom, there is a full layer of small silver ingots, each weighing one tael

The White-legged Spider Demon clan discards the males immediately after they are born. The females, upon reaching adulthood or awakening their intelligence, are also driven out of the nest

Lu Tong's spirit stirred slightly, and the wish-fulfilling gem appeared in his hand, emitting a faint white light in the dark room

My family's fourth child

The body has a slightly large abdomen, as if one is already six months pregnant

A white, misty magical power gathered in the palm, gradually forming a small spire, ultimately reaching a height of just over one inch

However, the act of killing and robbing is indeed a heinous crime, and this amount is far too little; it would be more appropriate to exchange it for fifty-six taels of gold.

A typical matron spat out a stream of digestive fluid from her mouth, sucking the entire rib into her mouth, and while cleaning the grease, she said

Originally, the teahouse had a total of 9 tables, and now there are 3 tables that are still intact

This amber-colored spirit pearl is a type of camel's eye that is typically circulated only among Foundation Establishment cultivators

Neighbors offered their congratulations

On top of the silver, there is a white jade ruyi.

Countless colorful light dots have surged into the body along the hands, instantly forming a network of meridians that spreads throughout the entire body

The big fool lay on the floor, snoring loudly, his plump body under the moonlight resembling the pork being boiled in a pot outside

However, upon hearing that help was needed, the teahouse instantly fell silent

Lu Tong sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the sleeve pouch left by the hoof and a thick brass ring in his hand

Lu Tong felt that the future was like the sun outside, gradually rising

The fourth child could understand his mother's words and turned his head to stare at Lu Tong with six shiny black eyes

Inside the adjacent room

Having arrived in this world for less than ten days, I refined the residual magical power left in my flesh after the transformation of my hooves, with the assistance of the camel's eye

Human legs are also quite normal

There are six eyes on the head, resembling six black pearls, without eyelids, directly embedded in the forehead. The mouth has no teeth, but instead has four black hooks.

Among these items, there are numerous clues indicating manual intervention, such as claw marks left by bird feathers and fresh blood found in the crevices

Lu Tong picked up the cane placed on the bedside and said with a smile, "Get up and eat meat!"

Lu's universal hoof kicked the head of the bed several times, producing a "da da da" sound

Lu Tong's current methods cannot quickly resolve the situation cleanly, fortunately, there are still these neighbors and community members

In the morning, tea houses generally have no customers

In full view of the public, he took out a rolling pin and directly struck the roof, creating a large hole.

He glanced at the time; outside, the sky was already dimly bright. It turned out that he had been cultivating for more than two hours.

Lu Tong only obtained some idle gossip from the memories of the hooves. Two years ago, Aunt Dian followed a monk from the Yi Ye sect to hunt evil demons, and upon returning, she gave birth to the fourth child.

There are a total of 8 spider legs, with 2 legs resting on the ground, while the remaining 6 legs are inserted into the elbow, liver, ribs, large intestine, tongue, and pigskin

Fifty-six taels of silver is not a small amount

The beads are amber-colored, crystal clear, and contain many shimmering golden flakes inside

The cultivation has also made a breakthrough, and a windfall has been gained
