Chapter Eighty-Four: The Return

On the way back to Yizhuang, Uncle Nine said to Ryan: "Laien, is this the same thing you said today, Master Ren will encounter the ominous?"

"It should be. Ryan said. "If it weren't for the master and you pulled him today, he would probably have died at the hands of zombies. It can be said that you are the noble man of the prophecy of Master Ren. ”

"Oh, really?" said Uncle Nine, and the smile on his face showed that he was satisfied with what Ryan had said.

After returning to Yizhuang, the master and apprentice began to practice the daily life of farming, and finally a week later, the plants that Lane gave to Uncle Nine were planted by Uncle Nine himself. So Uncle Nine immediately packed some packages and prepared to go back to Maoshan to report the good news.

After seeing off Uncle Jiu, Ryan told the two senior brothers that he was going to the provincial capital to meet the elders, and also left Yizhuang.

After turning a few corners and walking to a place where no one noticed, Ryan chose to return to the Wanjie Grocery Store.

Back at the grocery store, Ryan began to take stock of his gains:

- Change the plot with a 20-point offset.

β€”β€”Obtain a full set of Maoshan Shangqing inheritance. It is divided into five parts: mental method, charm, miscellaneous science, side door, and body art.

- A pile of yellow paper, cinnabar and other items that were sold in the town before

After the inventory, Ryan was more satisfied with the complete set of oriental cultivation methods harvested this time. Although it is a cultivation method in the end of the Dharma world, the upper limit that can be reached is not very high. However, it is also convenient for orthodox Taoist things to be transferred in the future, and at the same time, as a method for laying a foundation, although this orthodox Taoist mental method is a little slower to cultivate, it is better to lay a solid foundation.

In short, Ryan was still very satisfied with the harvest, so he began to receive the harvest and turn it into his own power. The first part of the indoctrination is miscellaneous and physical. Each spent 3 offset points. Because miscellaneous studies are mainly some knowledge such as feng shui and cinnabar, while physical skills are some martial arts and footwork, which do not involve extraordinary strength, it is naturally cheaper.

After that, there are charms, which require extraordinary strength to draw charms, so they need to be learned with 15 offset points. After the knowledge was instilled, Ryan used his wand instead of the peachwood sword, using his magic power to try to draw talismans in the air. It turned out that although the talisman was successfully drawn, the power consumed was much higher than that stated in the book, and the effect of the talisman was at most half of the effect stated in the book.

Unbelieving evil, Ryan took out a brush of cinnabar, mobilized the only bit of aura in his body to draw a talisman on the yellow paper. After a few experiments, Ryan managed to draw a simple corpse talisman. After feeling it, Ryan found that this talisman was not much different from the one drawn by Uncle Jiu, after all, it was just a basic talisman.

It seems that these power systems are all compatible with each other, and now even simple spells will be like this, so complex spells, if forcibly urged by magic power, are likely to cause dangerous backlash.

This is followed by some side studies, mainly about some application directions of spiritual power, such as manipulating human puppetry, some methods of driving corpses, etc. Ryan didn't think it would be very useful, but he learned these things just in case. 7 offset points were consumed.

Finally, when it came to the main part, Ryan tried to instill aura into his body, hoping to save time in his practice. Because he had already successfully cultivated on his own before, he only needed to simply infuse his strength this time. However, the system told Ryan that his body could only be perfused for one year, and that it would take 20 offset points to perfuse.

After weighing for half a day, Ryan gritted his teeth and chose to instill strength. Then a pillar of light shone on Ryan, making him feel as if he was soaking in the hot springs, lazily not wanting to move at all.

When the pillar of light disappeared, Ryan was surprised to find that his cultivation level was actually about the same as that of Qiu Sheng, who had been practicing for nearly ten years. After thinking about it, Ryan realized that the difficulty of cultivation in the end of the Dharma era was inherently large, and the grocery store was calculated according to the cultivation in an ordinary environment, which was naturally different from what Ryan originally thought.

After this series of ascensions, Ryan looked at the remaining 5 offset points and smiled bitterly. It's really distressing to save up the offset points for so long. He could only comfort himself with the fact that his current strength had improved.

After carrying spiritual power in his body for a few weeks, Ryan stood up and cleaned up, then took out the mirror and looked at it, and chose to return to the real world when he confirmed that there were no flaws.

Stepping through the space door, Ryan reappeared in the restroom cubicle he had left. Because it was after dinner, the students were gathered in the common room or the library, and there were not many people in the bathroom near the classroom.

After washing his face at the tap, Ryan chose to go back to the common room in the Gryffindor Tower. I have spent almost half a month in the world of "Mr. Zombie", but I have only spent an hour in this main world. This jet lag gave Ryan a sense of absurdity, and now he just wanted to hurry back to bed and get some sleep to adjust to the jet lag.

On this day, Ryan went to bed around eight o'clock in the evening, and the next morning he got up early to exercise. After leaving the house, he was surprised to find Hermione reading in the common room.

Sure enough, is this what the real scholar does? Ryan expressed his sincere admiration.

After burrowing out of the common room, Ryan chose to go for a run inside the castle. There were very few people at Hogwarts at half-past six in the morning, and Ryan saw only a few students and the Headmaster in his pajamas.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people in the castle now, Ryan went down to the second floor to find out where he was likely to go next: Myrtle's bathroom.

The bathroom is in an uninhabited hallway. Although many students passing through this hallway on their way back to the common room, the bathroom looks dilapidated and looks like it has not been used for a long time.

As soon as Ryan was about to investigate further, a milky figure emerged from the wall and greeted Ryan, "Good morning, Ryan." It's still early in class, what are you doing here?" it turned out to be the almost headless Nick, the resident ghost of Gryffindor.

"Morning, sir. I'm exercising. Ryan greeted. Because he is usually interested in history, he often asks the ghosts some questions. After all, these ghosts have experienced those histories firsthand, and they are much more intuitive than what they read in books.

So Ryan himself has a good relationship with several ghosts in the school, and often greets them warmly when they see them.

"Oh, exercise, that's a good thing. Every wizard in my day exercised, but it's a shame that modern wizards seem to have given up on this habit. Nick shook his head regretfully, but accidentally dropped his head and had to scramble to move it back to its place.

"Magic is useful, but it's not everything. Nick put his head back in the back and recalled, "If I had worked out a little more diligently, I might have escaped from the pursuers even if I had lost my wand." ”

"But there wasn't much to do at Hogwarts, and running around the castle was the only option. You've been here for a long time, do you know where in the castle you can do your physical training?" Ryan asked Nick.

Nick thought for a moment and said to Ryan, "I think I really know of a place that can meet your requirements." ”
