Chapter 557: Friend or Foe

"Aren't you studying Su Xinjian, how do you think that the Spirit Bead is here, can you concentrate on one thing?" Madoka was puzzled.

Yu Xia raised the bamboo slip in his hand, "Ten thousand laws return to the sect, one hundred passes, I think the words on the bamboo slip have given me a little inspiration, now I want to verify it." ”

"You Xuanshi, you are talking all day long, it's really boring." Xiao Yuan pursed his lips, and then stared at the spirit bead in Yu Xia's hand with wide eyes.

It's so curious how these two things come together.

Yu Xia had discovered the defect of the Spirit Bead a long time ago.

Originally, it was extremely difficult to carve the rune pattern onto the jade bead, let alone give it the function of storing vitality at the same time.

The ability of a spirit bead to store vitality is affected by many factors such as runes, jade bead texture, and type of vitality, and is extremely unstable. Even Yu Xia himself sometimes hurts himself when he injects vitality into the spirit bead because of a momentary mistake and the spirit bead explodes because of the overflow of vitality.

There has never been a clear boundary between "absorbing attacks" and "releasing attacks".

"The qi is deep, and the accumulation is extended...... If you go with it, you will live, and if you go against it, you will die. ”

Su Xinjian's words seemed very empty, but after careful consideration, Yu Xia had some new insights.

If each Soul Bead can collect and release the vitality freely, then will it be able to play a greater role in the battle?

The runes on the spirit bead are connected end to end, forming a closed pattern, and it is precisely because of this that the vitality can circulate in the spirit bead and achieve the condition of "storing qi".

And the "deflation" is purely caused by the maximum amount of vitality absorbed by the spirit bead, which is not controlled by Yu Xia.

She needs to face the attack of a strong opponent when fighting, she can resolve it through the "gas storage" of the spirit bead, which can often save her life, and the spirit bead after absorbing the opponent's attack can successfully reproduce the opponent's moves and use it as her own means of defeating the enemy.

To achieve this, the first problem that needs to be solved is that whether it is "gas" or "deflated", it can be determined according to the actual situation.

"If you go with it, you will live, and if you go against it, you will die."

According to the above passage of Su Xinjian, "accumulation" and "release" are completely opposite rules of qi, shun can be "stored", "reverse" can be released, this principle itself is applicable to cultivation, only by following the qi, can achieve the growth of cultivation, if the vitality is retrograde, it is often easy to go mad, or even burst the vitality and die.

Thinking about it this way, shouldn't the spirit bead itself be the same as the body of the Xuan Master?

The more Yu Xia thought about it, the more excited she became, her eyes were shining, and her smile was open, she had never been so excited to see those rare treasures before. Seeing her like this, Madoka looked at her inexplicably, shrunk into a corner and fell asleep.

"I'll just say that the Xuanshi are all gods."

Yu Xia didn't care about it, took out a blank blue glazed ink jade bead, picked up the carving knife and tried it.

The texture naturally still has to be closed, but how to close it and how to run the vitality can be considered to change the way.

The first few failures without exception, the best jade beads became worthless powder, Yu Xia was not distressed, and took out a pen and paper to write and draw, when he was hungry, he would rest for a while to grill some fish to eat, and when he was tired, he would find a stone to sleep on for a while, and occasionally take a look at the situation in South African Creek, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he devoted himself to those complicated and mysterious lines.

Yuan Niang, who was completely ignored, glanced at Yu Xia resentfully.

At first, Yu Xia asked her if she wanted to eat grilled fish, but as soon as she remembered that the dagger had only cut through Mr. Zhu's stomach, she felt panicked and shook her head and refused. As a result, in the next two days, Yu Xia didn't mean to ask her at all, and she took care of the live fish she had caught in the water and cleaned it up to eat, but Yuan Niang could only smell the fragrance of the grilled fish and growled with hunger.

"Miss Yu......" Yuan Niang glanced at Yu Xia hesitantly, but as soon as she turned her head, she couldn't take her eyes off.

"What do you sprinkle on the fish?" Yuan Niang couldn't help swallowing her saliva, feeling that today's grilled fish seemed to be extraordinarily fragrant.

"Oh, this one." Yu Xia raised the small porcelain bottle in his hand, "It's rock salt, I just found it from the rock wall." The food I have eaten in the past few days has not tasted salty, and I am about to vomit. ”

There was some progress in the research of the spirit beads, Yu Xia was in a good mood, humming a little song and turning over the grilled fish, and then Yuan Niang saw that she took out a porcelain bottle from her arms.

"What is this?" Yuan Niang looked at the red powder, and her saliva flowed even more.

"This is paprika powder, it's still too cold here, eating this can make you sweat and warm your body."

The pepper was found by Yu Xia in her baggage, and when she was in the first few areas, she thought it was some rare herb and picked it casually, and just flipped through the package to find out its true use.

Yuan Niang was so hungry that her eyes were red, but the smell of today's grilled fish was surprisingly strong, so she couldn't stand it anymore.

"That...... Miss Yu, I'm hungry. ”

"If you're hungry, then eat." Yu Xia grilled the fish and replied nonchalantly.

Yuan Niang froze for a moment and took a deep breath, "I want to eat grilled fish." ”

"If you want to eat it, you can bake it yourself."

"I won't." Yuan Niang said more clearly, "I want to eat the grilled fish in your hand." ”

"Don't dislike my dagger for killing people?"

Yuan Niang was stunned for a moment, and raised her eyes to see Yu Xia looking at her playfully.

"I didn't ......" Yuan Niang subconsciously wanted to deny it.

"Aunt Yuan, I think you probably forgot that you wanted to harm me before, and now you are walking all the way, but it is just a contract." Speaking of this, Yu Xia sneered, "It's still a contract that I can tear up at any time." ”

"You!" Yuan Niang was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Whether it was the title of Aunt Yuan or Yu Xia's indifferent words, it made her extremely embarrassed.

"I said before, I didn't really want to hurt you...... And aren't we getting along happily these days, I thought we were already friends......"

Yuan Niang looked at Yu Xia with red eyes and a look of accusation.

"Are we friends?" Yu Xia glanced at her with a sneer, "Then why are you pretending that you haven't recovered?" ”

"What did you say?" Yuan Niang's face suddenly turned pale, and she looked even weaker.

"When you were underwater, I gave you a total of fifteen breath-holding charms, but you used up at the same time as we only had ten...... You don't need to consume additional vitality to resist the cold, even if you are injured, you can't use it so quickly with your strength, right? ”

"At that time, I was just a little suspicious, and I didn't take it to heart, and you took the time to confess to me when you 'thought you were going to die', so that I could lower my guard, I have to say, you made a good move, and I was indeed a little touched at the time."

"But I'm very strange, why can you, who are trying to be weak, easily catch the pile of things on Yang Wu's body when I throw them at you?"

"It's heavy."
