Chapter 39 (1/2)

One of a famous comedian’s quotes in the age of light went like this: “If I saw someone having a meat bun when I was hungry, then that person was luckier than me. If I saw someone wearing a thick cotton cloth when I was cold, then that person was luckier than me. If I wanted to go to the toilet, but the only seat had already been taken by someone, then that person was luckier than me.”

Chu Yunsheng was facing the same situation right now. When the chaotic crowd attracted that tentacle monster, he was luckier than the crowd of people outside.

It was a mess outside. Chu Yunsheng decided to wait in the building until everything quieted down. Moreover, he didn’t think that those three red-sh.e.l.led insects and the tentacle monster would be back anytime soon.

It wasn’t difficult for Chu Yunsheng to find a room to make talismans in such a big mall. Before he closed the door, he asked Yu Xiaohai and Lin Shuiyao to wait outside the room.

With the help of the flashlight, he carefully drew the talisman’s pattern. He was already familiar with the process, so he didn’t spend too much time on it.

After he used an absorption talisman to absorb the Yuan Qi from the red-sh.e.l.led insects, he checked the number of the insects he had stored inside the storage talisman. He had a total of fifteen red-sh.e.l.led insects’ bodies.

His armor needed to be repaired, so he took out the bodies and began to repair the armor until all the cracks were gone.

The new absorption talisman was filled with flame patterns. It could restore a total of twelve units of Yuan Qi. However, because he needed to keep six units of Yuan Qi to make another new absorption talisman, so he could only use six units to kill insects.

Deep in his heart, Chu Yunsheng was worried. If he carried on like this, he would never be able to make more absorption talisman as backups. He needed to use the traditional Yuan Qi cultivation method to restore his Yuan Qi without touching the absorption talismans in the storage talismans at the moment. Of course, he could ask Yu Xiaohai to help him, but he didn’t think Yu Xiaohai’s energy would be recovered faster than him.

When would he be able to reach Yuan Tian stage two? He has been dreaming of that day for a very long time. By that time, his Yuan Qi would be so dense that he would only need two units of Yuan Qi to make one absorption talisman. Or at Yuan Tian stage two, he could use more Yuan Qi to make a level-three absorption talisman, which could be used repeatedly.

He felt that it was such a waste to use six units of Yuan Qi to make one absorption talisman for just one-time use.

He really needed to speed up now!

Yuan Qi cultivation cycles required him to unleash and restore Yuan Qi repeatedly. It wasn’t complicated but instead, rather troublesome. So he spent six units of Yuan Qi to make one new talisman, then absorbed the remaining flame patterns from the old one.

When he finally came out of the room, he saw Yu Xiaohai and Lin Shuiyao were busy gossiping. They were discussing all kinds of questions, such as: Did she really like some male celebrity? Or did she date some rich guys? etc… Chu Yunsheng was completely speechless. He didn’t know where the h.e.l.l Yu Xiaohai got all those questions from.

Yu Xiaohai was surprised to see Chu Yunsheng come out of the room with a recovered armor. He clicked his tongue(1) and said, “Brother Chu, you sure are a miracle worker!”

Chu Yunsheng knew that he could go on for a long time, so he ignored him and said, “let me explain to you what my plan is. You both can express your opinion, but you can’t decide anything.”

Yu Xiaohai didn’t mind it. After all, he would always listen to Chu Yunsheng.

Lin Shuiyao didn’t seem to have any reactions, and Chu Yunsheng also didn’t bother to ask her opinion, “it’s less than fifty hours from the military retreat, we need to follow the troops. Xiaohai, you will drive the motorcycle. I will sit in the middle, and the actress Lin will sit on the back of the bike. Everyone will need to listen to my command.”

Yu Xiaohai didn’t have any problem with it, but Lin Shuiyao knitted her brows and thought. ‘Did he not feel any shame for asking a lady to sit on the back? The middle seat should be the safest.’

However, she didn’t know that Chu Yunsheng needed to restore his Yuan Qi. The middle seat was the most steady spot, and Chu Yunsheng would have minimal disruptions. But Lin Shuiyao didn’t have the right to complain, even though Chu Yunsheng said that she could express her opinions, she wasn’t stupid, and she did not want to put herself in a bad situation.

She gave Chu Yunsheng a soft smile, and said, “I am actually a model, so please don’t call me an actress.”

Chu Yunsheng waved his hands and said, “to ordinary people like us, they are all the same.”

After saying that, he simply ignored Lin Shuiyao and took out some food from his storage talisman.

Seeing Chu Yunsheng magically take some food out of thin air, Lin Shuiyao was completely stunned.

Yu Xiaohai had already seen Chu Yunsheng’s strange abilities before, so he did not have any reaction. Contrary to his reaction, Lin Shuiyao’s reaction seemed exaggerated.

The journey of escape was about to begin. The three people needed to recover their physical strength, especially Chu Yunsheng, as he was the one who was going to do the most work.
