Chapter 17 People Arrive in the Rain
The clouds that had been overcast all day were finally broken just before evening.
The rain poured down like a torrential downpour, a loud and unusually heavy downpour.
Qin Shuang and Liu Hu were both sheltering from the rain inside the house.
Liu Hu moved a bench and sat by the door, muttering to himself, while Qin Shuang sat to the side, rubbing her sore legs, her mind focused on the attribute panel.
Name: Qin Shuang
Guiding: Mastery (0/200) (Can be improved)
Psionic Points: 9.72
……
"Nine points of psionic energy are enough to upgrade the channeling spell again."
Should we choose to continue improving?
Qin Shuang muttered to herself, her gaze quickly hardening.
It must be improved.
Because he had clearly felt the increase in his power after the guidance technique was improved.
More importantly, the "qi" within his body had a tremendous effect on him.
Although, in some ways, it was a cultivation method completely different from that of this world.
But in his view, whether it's a black cat or a white cat, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat. As long as he can improve his strength, why should he care about the difference between the two?
So he quickly made a decision and clicked on the word "upgradeable".
"Do you wish to spend four psionic points to upgrade your channeling skill from Mastery to Proficiency?"
"It takes four spirit points to progress from mastery to intermediate level?"
Qin Shuang's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly made her choice, "Yes!"
moment.
He felt the psionic point value become slightly blurred, and it decreased by four points.
At the same time, he felt a warm current surging from the depths of his dantian, like an underground spring finally finding its outlet and flowing freely.
The 'qi' that was growing in his body also grew stronger and stronger, and quickly traveled through his body, going up along his spine, passing through the Mingmen, Jiaji and Yuzhen, and reaching Baihui. From Baihui, it circled around to the center of his eyebrows, and slowly sank down along the Ren meridian, returning to his Dantian.
Then the cycle begins, one cycle after another.
At the same time, countless experiences and insights into cultivating guidance techniques flooded his mind, as if he had practiced them hundreds or thousands of times in a short period of time. His cultivation and understanding of guidance techniques reached an extremely high level.
At this moment, his body felt incredibly relaxed. With each breath, he felt the air become crisp and clear. Even the soreness and fatigue he had developed from standing in the stance were swept away.
My limbs and bones felt as comfortable as if they had been soaked in warm water.
"The guiding technique has been partially mastered."
The effect was surprisingly remarkable.
"My strength has greatly increased, and the energy within my body is clearer and has more than doubled in size!"
Qin Shuang carefully experienced all of this, and felt extremely happy.
My gaze fell on the attribute panel, and sure enough, I saw the words "Guiding Spell: Minor Success (0/400)", and I felt a surge of joy.
The only downside is that the psionic points have decreased significantly, from 9.72 to 5.72.
However, this is perfectly normal.
Everything comes at a price.
Such an upgrade only costs 4 points of psionic energy, so what's there to be dissatisfied about?
"I just wonder when I'll be able to see 'ghosts' again and recharge?"
Qin Shuang couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
"Junior brother, what's wrong?"
Liu Hu was getting into the conversation when he suddenly noticed that Qin Shuang's expression was a bit off, and asked her in a simple and honest voice.
"It's nothing, my leg is just numb."
Qin Shuang casually brushed it off, suppressing the excitement in her heart.
Liu Hu, unsuspecting, continued his rambling, "Speaking of which, Aunt Zhou was a pitiful person. She married a man from Xiahu, and after one trip, she never came back."
The master felt sorry for her, so he let her come over to help with cooking and do some odd jobs...
"Master has a kind heart."
Qin Shuang echoed, the words "going to the lake" swirling in her mind. She guessed it was a job involving fishing and rowing a boat on the lake, so she didn't think much of it.
Lost in thought, I suddenly heard a rapid knocking on the door.
Bang bang bang bang bang.
It wasn't normal knocking on the door; it was pounding on it with fists, as if in great urgency.
"Who is it? Why are you here in this heavy rain?" Liu Hu muttered, grabbed a raincoat, put it on his head, and went out to open the door.
Qin Shuang also stood up and followed behind.
The courtyard gate opened, and a person was standing outside.
The rain was so heavy that his face was obscured for a moment. All that could be made was that he was a tall, thin man dressed in a gray short-sleeved brown robe, soaked to the bone, his clothes clinging to his body like a bamboo pole just pulled out of the water.
Seeing the door open, the man stepped inside without waiting for a greeting.
"Is Master Liu here? I'm looking for Master Liu!"
Her voice was trembling, whether from the cold or fear, it was hard to tell.
Liu Hu draped a raincoat over him and led him toward the main room, saying, "Master went to town and hasn't returned yet."
"If you have something to say, come in first. Don't get wet in the rain."
The man followed him into the main room, raindrops dripping down his body and quickly forming a small puddle at his feet.
Liu Hu lit the oil lamp, and the dim light shone on the man's face, allowing Qin Shuang to see his features clearly.
The man was in his forties, with a square face, high cheekbones, and thick, messy eyebrows that looked like two clumps of weeds across his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, his lips were bluish-black, and he exuded an indescribable air of despondency.
Especially between his eyebrows, Qin Shuang vaguely noticed a bluish-black patch, as if something was pushing it out from there.
In addition, he felt a slight warmth in his wrist.
Qin Shuang glanced at his wrist and saw that it was the peach wood bracelet that his master had given him before and he had never asked for it back, so he had been wearing it ever since.
He could feel the warmth when he wore it before, but the sensation was not as pronounced as it was now.
It was as if it had sensed something and was issuing a warning.
"Which village are you from? What do you need my master for?"
Liu Hu moved a stool for him to sit down.
The man plopped down, braced his hands on his knees, and rubbed his face vigorously before catching his breath: "My name is Zhao Laosan, and I'm from Kaoshan Village."
"The boatmen, ferries people across Qing Shi Ferry, had an accident... a really big accident..."
As he spoke, his voice trembled, as if he had remembered something terrible, and he gripped the fabric on his knees tightly with both hands.
Immediately afterwards, he seemed to feel that the clothes behind him were a bit tight, so he pulled his hands back, but did not touch the clothes. He just lifted them up in the air, and then tilted his shoulders to the side, as if he was carrying something on his back.
Qin Shuang hadn't paid much attention at first, but she glanced behind him and saw that a large area of his back was dry.
In other words, he walked through the torrential rain, his clothes and pants were soaked in the front, but his back was dry.
It was as if something had blocked the rain from actually falling on him.
