Chapter 418 What does Dazhi Baoda want to do tonight?
But this time, Li Muyang miscalculated again.
Late at night, upon noticing a figure climbing onto his bed, Li Muyang was speechless.
"I remember locking the door."
Wearing loose pajamas, Shiho Miyano blushed and said cautiously, "I've lived here for so long, of course I have the keys to all the houses!"
"So what are you going to do?" Li Muyang asked speechlessly, staring with dead fish eyes.
Night attack?
You think too much.
Daishiho's face was still red: "Ahem! Don't misunderstand! I...you..."
Li Muyang remained calm and composed, like an old monk in meditation. He spoke slowly, "Don't be nervous. You came to find me, and I'm not nervous at all. Why are you nervous? Reversing the Heavenly Gang."
Because he knew why Daishi had come to see him that night.
"...Could you teach me alchemy?" the young girl asked shyly.
Yes, that's it.
"Can't you say it during the day?" Li Muyang retorted expressionlessly, "You're a young lady! Running into another grown man's room late at night! It's easy for people to misunderstand!"
Dazhi Bao scratched his head shyly: "A sudden inspiration struck me."
To put it bluntly, I just acted on impulse and came here!
To be honest, I initially intended to tease Li Muyang, but seeing how calm Old Li was, Da Zhibao, this "king of verbal sparring," suddenly chickened out.
That shouldn't be the case... Old Li, are you impotent?
Li Muyang glanced at him sideways and said, "I advise you not to overthink things."
Daishiho immediately crossed her arms, looking wary, and scoffed, "You actually spied on my thoughts! You pervert!"
Li Muyang rolled his eyes innocently: "You're overthinking it! I can sense the malice! Besides, just now... that look of disdain mixed with pity, and pity mixed with a hint of mockery! What the hell? I'm not blind!"
That look in his eyes... some gay guys with certain fetishes might get excited for a while, but Li Muyang... sorry, he's already immune.
It's been used too much by the wind chimes.
Li Muyang sighed. Forget it, let's just get rid of this girl first!
Want to learn alchemy? Sure! It just depends on whether you have the talent and ability!
"Let me make this clear first, it's not as simple as you think! Real alchemy isn't just about following the steps and logically refining each medicinal herb in order with the corresponding heat. That's just the most basic skill!"
"Instead, it is to invoke a corresponding, mysterious power that we cultivators call creation."
Li Muyang began the lesson in a serious manner, and Miyano Shiho listened very attentively. Even though she didn't understand, she obediently made notes in her mind!
"This power of creation, together with the medicinal effects of the fused herbs, can produce those miraculous effects, such as prolonging life, preserving youth, and breaking through bottlenecks. The two complement each other and are indispensable."
As he spoke, Li Muyang took out a ball of creation power and handed it to Zhibao, saying, "Here, try it and see if you can feel what I have in my hand."
Da Zhibao cautiously and nervously reached out his hand, touching the power of creation in Li Muyang's hand. Gradually, he stuffed his entire hand inside, closing his eyes in deep thought, carefully feeling, and exerting all his strength... Friendly reminder: You can breathe! Holding your breath doesn't mean you're exerting force!
In the end, however, he could only fall into silence.
The result is already obvious; she can't feel it.
If the power of creation, which is already visible to the naked eye, cannot be perceived, then the outcome is obvious.
A moment later, Li Muyang withdrew his power of creation: "It seems you can't take the shortcut. If you really want to cultivate alchemy, you'll have to start from scratch, and it will be very troublesome! Not only will there be a lot of things to do, but it will also take up your other time!"
Dazhi blinked and asked curiously, "Brother, how long do you estimate it would take if I really wanted to learn from you to reach half your level?"
Li Muyang showed no mercy, reaching out and delivering a two-finger slap: "Don't be so ambitious! You have pretty high standards, huh!"
"That one-third?"
Li Muyang rolled his eyes: "You're overthinking it. You're far from even one-tenth! I reckon if you studied alchemy day and night, neglecting sleep and meals, you might reach the first rank within a year."
"By the way, I am currently at the peak of the ninth rank."
"To put it this way, I have such a large amount of creative power, and I also have a junior brother. Although his talent is not as good as mine, he was able to sense some power on the first try, and even mobilize a tiny bit! As for what you just did... it's like talking to a brick wall."
Daishi looked miserable: "It can't be that bad, can it?"
Li Muyang said leisurely, "My teacher who taught me alchemy can almost mobilize the huge mass of creation power I just created, but he can only mobilize it. He can't create something out of nothing like me."
With a clear comparison, Shiho realized that he lacked talent in alchemy and was not suited for this job. He should just give up and go to sleep.
"Isn't he your teacher? How come he's not as good as you?" Shiho Miyano asked, as if she had remembered something.
Li Muyang said in a serious tone: "A disciple need not be inferior to his teacher, nor a teacher necessarily more virtuous than his disciple. There is a sequence in learning the Way, and each has their own area of expertise."
"Furthermore, being proficient in alchemy and mastering the power of creation are two different things! My mastery of the power of creation is my innate talent, and it has nothing to do with alchemy! I use the power of creation only to test your talent in alchemy and see if I can help you take a shortcut. If not, then you can only honestly follow the steps."
"The creation of the universe is mysterious and profound. The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. It is not a concrete material existence, but rather an abstract concept. However, it inevitably exists in the world and can be considered a miraculous power. That is why it can create pills with miraculous effects. As long as a portion of it can be incorporated into the pill during the alchemy process, it can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary!"
"Whether it's passive or active, the effect is the same! There's no difference in the final product."
After being dissuaded by Li Muyang, Shiho Miyano gave up her idea of practicing alchemy. Destroy it, it's too much trouble!
It's not that Li Muyang didn't want to teach, it's just that it's really too difficult to cultivate! This is probably much more difficult than simple cultivation! With a Stand user as a foundation, Miyano Shiho's cultivation talent is already considered to be above average. If the company adds to her luck later, her cultivation should be even faster.
But I'm sorry, she can't even take the only shortcut to mastering alchemy.
Besides a wealth of pharmacological knowledge, the power of creation is the most important factor in cultivating alchemy. Without mastering it, one is destined to find it difficult to conduct in-depth research.
In fact, Li Muyang did have a way to enable Shiho Miyano to sense the power of creation, but such a method... would be equivalent to modifying her genetic code. Li Muyang was not too willing to use such a method. He could use life energy to create miracles and enhance his cultivation talent, but changing his genes for the sake of alchemy... was too much.
The former is merely a process of cleansing the marrow and bones, removing impurities from the body, and bringing the body into the optimal state for cultivation; in essence, it is still based on one's original foundation.
The latter is already altering the species; gene programming technology is taboo! Li Muyang would never touch it lightly! Nor would he bring it up.
Besides, given Shiho Miyano's personality, even if she knew this method existed, she probably wouldn't agree. After all, she herself is a PhD in medicine and knows the dangers of gene programming technology! It's a Pandora's box! No precedent can be set! Especially not for the sake of practicing alchemy!
Anyway, it's not like she can't survive without alchemy!
After being persuaded for a while, Dazhibao sneakily left Li Muyang's room and went back to her own room to sleep.
Li Muyang saw her off, closed the door, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Goodness, he almost thought he was going to lose his innocence again... cough cough! All he could do was wash up and go to sleep; anything is possible in dreams.
The little incident that evening did not affect anyone; apart from the two people involved, no one else knew about it.
The next day, facing the reunited family of three... oh, Miyano Akemi broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm and emerged from seclusion, and now the family of four is reunited!
Going too far again.
Faced with the happy family, a certain elementary school student, a Grim Reaper, had his worldview completely shattered, while the Mori father and daughter, unaware of the situation, remained quite calm.
Good! Peace and safety are the most important things!
"Why did you turn back?" The Grim Reaper Elementary School Student quietly tugged at Shiho's sleeve and asked.
Shiho Miyano smiled slightly, reached out and ruffled Conan's full head of hair, and solemnly instructed, "Call me 'older sister'!"
Conan (￣へ￣): "Hmph! What a joke! A real man is born between heaven and earth! How can he live a life of subservience to others for long! You want me to call you 'sister'? Wouldn't that make me lose face?"
"Call me Shiho-neechan! I'll give you the antidote!"
Conan?(???)?: "Big sister Shiho!"
A flattering smile on his face.
A real man! Can bend and stretch!
"Hey!" Daishibo patted Conan's head again with satisfaction, then took out a box of medicine from his pocket, took out another pill, and handed it to Conan.
Just kidding! You think I can't handle you, kid? Little Conan! Ridiculous! Handle me!
The poor elementary school student, a veritable death god, is completely manipulated by Daishiho.
Seeing Conan carefully packing up the medicine, Daishiho rolled her eyes: "If you're not going to take it, when are you going to go?"
Conan blinked: "Huh? Here?"
His gaze swept over the Mori father and daughter. Putting aside what to do with the organization, they were both here! Could I just turn back?
Xia He, standing to the side, retorted speechlessly, "Please... you don't actually think that Uncle Mori and Ran don't know who you are, do you?"
Conan's expression froze for a moment. He turned his head and saw Ran Mouri's ambiguous smile. He recalled that after returning from Vesbania, Ran never gave him any chance to take advantage of him again, such as going to the hot springs together, changing clothes in front of him, or scrubbing him in the bath...
In short, all the benefits of shrinking are gone.
I initially thought it was because Xiaolan felt he had grown up and was therefore being deliberately wary of him, but now it seems... damn it! It turns out my identity has been exposed!
Awkward!
