Chapter 35: I Need Candles
Rumble!
Xu Heng's consciousness felt like a roller coaster, forcibly pulled into his mind.
Since the last time I lit the candle and quickly mastered the tenth equal division of the solar terms with the Seven Star Beidou, the luster of the Seven Star Beidou has obviously dimmed a lot.
This time, the last small section of the candle was lit, and Xu Heng once again entered the state of inward vision in his mind.
Under the illumination of candlelight, the seven-star Beidou is clearly visible and gradually bright.
Xu Heng quickly took a deep breath and began to breathe in the air.
Wisps of thin cold solar terms were pulled and swarmed into his mouth and nose.
Gradually, with the accumulation and condensation of the small cold solar terms that are inhaled into the body, they finally gradually turn into a complete solar term in the sea of knowledge.
Xu Heng's realm also suddenly recovered to the fourth layer of Jianqi.
The four festivals surround the Xiaohan season, slowly floating.
Xu Heng continued to breathe in a large amount of air, constantly absorbing the Xiaohan solar terms, and exhaling other solar terms that had nothing to do with it.
Two and a half hours later.
The fifth wisp of solar terms finally condensed successfully, floating in front of the small cold solar terms in the shape of a black mist.
"It's a five-story building...... Huh? ”
Xu Heng originally felt the power of the Seven-Star Beidou, and he absorbed and condensed the fifth Xiaohan solar term so quickly.
Unexpectedly, this wisp of small cold solar terms had just condensed, and the black fog in the sea of knowledge suddenly shook, and directly swallowed the wisps of small cold solar terms.
It was not easy to recover to the realm of the fifth layer of Jianqi, and suddenly changed back to the fourth layer of Jianqi.
"What's the situation?"
Xu Heng was confused.
Even if this little cold festival order swallowed the beginning of the Spring Festival before, now even the solar term has to be swallowed?
His consciousness immediately moved slightly, and he forcibly probed into the black mist with two small sharp corners.
As a result, an unexpected situation occurred.
He found that the little green sharp horn was actually deep in the black mist.
Underneath the small sharp corners, there are three blue-green gaseous "roots" and a black gaseous "roots" that are gradually turning green.
"This is the three small cold solar terms that disappeared before? And the one that just got swallowed? ”
Xu Heng was taken aback.
He originally thought that the three small cold solar terms that disappeared before were a kind of consumption price, which made his festival ability stronger, but the solar terms were permanently consumed.
But that's clearly not the case now.
That little green horn seems to be occupying the magpie's nest in the dove, and is it going to set up its own portal?
Soon, with the wisp of Xiaohan solar term that had just been swallowed, it completely turned green.
Underneath this small green sharp horn are four turquoise gaseous roots, deeply rooted in the black mist.
"So my little cold festival is parasitized? After swallowing the beginning of the Spring Festival, he also scored a small cold solar term to feed this green sharp horn? ”
Xu Heng was a little stunned.
Dare to make trouble for a long time, this is not a one-time transaction, but a forced renewal transaction?
Although the festival ability has doubled to become stronger, every time you increase a small level from now on, you will also have to absorb double the small cold solar term?
Well, it's not a loss.
The big deal is to spend more time and energy, burn more candles, and absorb twice as many Xiaohan solar terms as ordinary people.
"Wait, if next month's Stunge feast devours ...... again"
Xu Heng suddenly realized that he seemed to have thought things simple.
If next month's Stun Festival is devoured again, it is likely that his festival ability will be increased by a factor of three.
Then the small cold solar terms that need to be absorbed will also become three times the original.
And so on.
If the twelve festivals are swallowed by the end of the year, the ability of the Xiaohan Festival becomes a twelve-fold increase in strength.
At that time, if you wanted to reach the tenth layer of Jianqi, you needed to absorb a total of one hundred and twenty Xiaohan solar terms......
"Ah......h
Xu Heng was taken aback by the number he had calculated.
If others have cultivated to the tenth level of Qi Building, they can enter the second stage of the descaling realm.
And he needed to cultivate the one hundred and twentieth layers of Qi before he could enter the Descaling Realm?
How much time does it take, how many candles does it take?
And this is only the first stage of Qi Realm......
"How do I feel that this wave is not so profitable? The cost seems to be a little bigger than I thought. ”
Xu Heng couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart.
Don't think about the future situation for the time being, and now I plan to sprint to the tenth floor before the college entrance examination this year and win the champion of the city festival in one fell swoop.
The time of the college entrance examination is in June, and now it is only February, just after the Spring Festival.
This means that before the college entrance examination, the Xiaohan Festival may devour four more festivals.
Then if you want to reach the tenth layer of Jianqi before the college entrance examination, you need to absorb and condense a total of sixty Xiaohan solar terms.
And now, counting the roots of the green sharp corners, he only has a total of eight solar terms.
"It's over, if every candle can allow me to condense the six solar terms, then I still need to consume eight candles before the college entrance examination to reach the tenth layer of Jianqi."
Xu Heng suddenly missed the pollution of the Qingming solar term last time.
Do you want to ask someone how to contact the cult?
I really want to ask them if they still have the Qingming solar term bomb.
When will it be launched? Where to send it?
After all, even if you get eight candles, you can only meet the tenth layer of Jianqi before the college entrance examination.
In the second half of the year, there are still six festivals waiting to be devoured, and if you want to continue to maintain the tenth layer of Jianqi, you will need to make ten more small candles.
……
At the same time, the Darong City Branch of the Inspection Division.
In the conference room, several leaders were looking at an old deputy director sitting in the main seat.
As soon as the old deputy director hung up the phone in his hand, several people hurriedly asked, "How is it?" What does it say? ”
"What else can I say, as always, let's see for ourselves." The old deputy director replied angrily.
"Damn, every time." When everyone heard this, they scolded and scolded in a whisper.
After a few moments, someone asked, "So what now?" ”
The old deputy director frowned: "What else can I do?" As far as the two options are concerned, if the trial plan is judged to be invalid, the matter will be temporarily over, and the compensation can be saved, but these people in our sub-bureau will definitely offend Fu Yongqing.
"If it is determined that the trial plan is valid, Lin Cheng's case will have nothing to do with that kid from now on, and we will find the Lin family to compensate that kid."
In fact, everyone here knows these two choices.
It's just that no one can give a choice, after all, the cause of this matter was ordered by the superiors, but now a result is needed, and it says let them do it themselves.
This is tantamount to digging or burying, no matter what choice is made, if something goes wrong in the future, they will be held accountable today.
"Alright, don't pretend to be dumb, raise your hand to vote, raise your hand in favor of the effective interrogation plan." The old deputy director frowned, and raised his hand directly after speaking.
The others hesitated for a moment, but then raised their hands one after another.
"Unanimous?"
This result made the old deputy director couldn't help but be surprised.
After all, not everyone will be afraid of Fu Yongqing, and whether the interrogation plan is effective or not is also at the level of ambiguity, and the choice is reasonable.
But unexpectedly, it was unanimously approved, and the leadership of all the sub-bureaus agreed that the interrogation plan was valid.
"Heh, it seems that the Four People's Associations have also helped!"
The old deputy director seemed to have thought of something, looked at everyone present, and smiled meaningfully.
He was sure that there were definitely members of the "Scholar Organization" of the Four People's Associations in the leadership of the sub-bureau, but he didn't know which one or which ones.
After all, the "gentry organization" only recruits officials, or cultivates itself, and its members are located in various departments on all continents.
But an organization is an organization, and a cult is a cult.
If there were cult elements lurking in the department, they would have launched a thorough investigation long ago, and it would be impossible for them to remain so indifferent.
So now this situation, everyone is accustomed to it, and tacitly remains silent.
Anyway, the above attitude towards the Four People's Associations is also polarized, as long as they do not explicitly and publicly crack down on the Four People's Associations for a day, then everyone is still good colleagues.
"Speaking of which, what the Four People's Association did this time was a bit out of line, sneaking into my patrol and inspection bureau to kill the Lin family, and then someone came out to confess and surrender......
When the old deputy director said this, he glanced at the many leaders present with a gloomy gaze, and continued to smile: "I'm curious, why did a Xu Heng make the Simin Society attach so much importance to it that he gave him such a big gift?" ”
"Old leader, they are obviously still playing Fu Yongqing's idea, using Xu Heng's matter to push the boat down the river to send personal favors, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a big fanfare." Someone laughed.
"It's not impossible."
The old deputy director nodded: "But I'm also a little interested in that kid named Xu Heng." I heard that the Jiantian Division is very concerned about him, so we might as well send someone to pay proper attention to it, although talents need time to grow, but they can't lack companionship, otherwise how will we compete with the Jiantian Division for talents in the future? ”
"That kid is only in the third layer now, I don't know how long he has to grow, but I heard Zhou Yanan say that that kid seems to want to fight for this year's college entrance examination, and he still chooses the festival exam." A leader said.
"Oh? So ambitious? The old deputy director said with some surprise.
"Haha, what's the use of having empty ambitions, if he wants to get a good score in the exam, he has to build at least nine to ten layers of qi.
"Now that there are only four months left before the college entrance examination, is it possible that he can still learn from his senior sister, and after awakening the festival, he will build ten layers of qi in half a year? Young people are still too impetuous. ”
Someone said with a smile.
Even the other leaders present couldn't help but shake their heads and smile.
Ten floors of gas construction in half a year?
Looking at the entire Scorpion Continent, so far only Fu Yongqing can do it alone.
The most important thing is that Fu Yongqing was only twelve years old at that time.
……
Soon, the night was late.
Xu Heng slowly opened his eyes from the dark old house and exhaled lightly.
The candles on the table had long since turned to ashes, and the seven-star Beidou in his mind had finally dimmed again.
This time, he absorbed a total of six Xiaohan solar terms.
But three of them were swallowed by small green sharp horns.
So now it's just back to the previous sixth layer of Jianqi, except for the double enhancement of the festival ability, there is no change from before the beginning of the Spring Festival.
"Candles, I need more candles."
Xu Heng muttered to himself in a low voice.
He tried to absorb the solar terms without the blessing of the Seven Star Beidou, but the efficiency was really slow.
Roughly calculated, I am afraid that it will take more than 20 days, or even a month, from morning to night, to condense a solar term.
This is actually the cultivation speed of most normal people, so it can be seen that his temperance talent can only be regarded as ordinary.
So if you want to take this year's college entrance examination, you must get more candles as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Xu Heng took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhou Yanan, asking about the compensation.
Then I called my sister again, but it was still turned off.
"Now that the Lin family's affairs have been settled, why hasn't there been any news from Senior Sister?"
Xu Heng frowned slightly.
"Jingle bells."
At this time, the mobile phone rang, it was Zhou Yanan's call.
Xu Heng's face suddenly changed.
Oops, I almost forgot that I had succeeded in cultivating again today.
I knew I wouldn't text her, and she wouldn't be able to reply to messages, so she had to call.
Don't you do it again like the first two times?
"Hello?" Xu Heng still cautiously connected the phone.
"Go downstairs." Zhou Yanan's clean voice came from the other end of the phone.
Xu Heng's eyes widened immediately.
Fortunately, in the next moment, Zhou Yanan's voice came again: "Your compensation has been obtained, and the inspection department and the Lin family need to compensate you for a total of about 50 million, and according to your meaning, all of them will be exchanged for a candle for you." ”
"What? Only one? ”
Xu Heng was originally excited that the compensation would be settled so quickly, but when he heard that he was only exchanged for a candle, he was stunned.
"What do you mean by just one? Do you think this thing is that easy to redeem? This time, the old lady made up ten performance points to help you redeem it. Zhou Yanan's annoyed voice came from the phone.
"Uh......" Xu Heng was stunned.
Can Zhou Yanan be so kind?
Do you want to make up for the stun that stuned me?
Or is it ...... Does she really want the old cow to eat the tender grass?
In the end, Xu Heng put on two more clothes for himself, and then went downstairs to find Zhou Yanan to get candles.
But when he saw the candle, he realized that he had misunderstood.
What Zhou Yanan exchanged for was a complete candle, which looked almost equivalent to the previous five small candles.
A small piece of candle can absorb six solar terms, so a candle can probably absorb thirty solar terms?
Good guys, I'm straight good guys.
Xu Heng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Team Zhou, is there any other way to redeem a candle like this? For example, using the kind of yellow paper I used before, or offering incense? He immediately asked.
"You even have incense?"
Zhou Yanan was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said: "These can be exchanged, but you are not a Qingming Festival Master, why do you want so many candles?" ”
"Can it be changed? Then help me change two more candles, and replace the rest with glutinous rice. ”
Xu Heng didn't answer her question, and immediately took out the remaining thirty pieces of yellow paper, as well as two and a half incense sticks, and handed them all to her.
The half of the incense was the one that was accidentally broken by Fu Yongqing before, and the value is estimated to be somewhat discounted, but it does not affect the use.
However, the other half was taken by Xu Heng for testing, but unfortunately after igniting it, it was found that it had no effect on the Seven Star Beidou, and it could not be extinguished.
No matter what method he used, even by throwing the small piece of incense into the water, he could not stop it from burning.
In the end, I could only watch the small half of the incense burned to ashes.
Xu Hengda did the math.
According to the market price of 20 million for a stick of incense, his experiment is equivalent to burning more than eight or nine million yuan in vain.
O iniquity!
