It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 683 Liu Zhenghui possesses magic, even gods cannot stop him.

"Young friend, wake up."

Feng Jizi flicked his finger, and a wisp of breeze entered Liu Zheng's nostrils.

"Whoo~"

Liu Zheng opened his eyes, and countless cold sweats poured from his pores, thick like mud.

How does it feel to be roasted by your own life force?

Feng Jizi asked with a smile.

"It's painful. It reminds me of a line of poetry."

He shook his head.

"Oh? What poem?"

Feng Jizi asked curiously.

"Only the cold moon and warm sun come to fry people's lives."

Liu Zhengnian said.

"The alternation of day and night is described using the word 'boil,' this poem is quite strange and bizarre, who wrote it?"

Feng Jizi couldn't help but ask.

Given Liu Zheng's skill in writing Spring Festival couplets, he certainly knew that this line of poetry was not written by Liu Zheng.

"It was written by Li He, a poet from the Tang Dynasty, who was nicknamed 'Poet Ghost'."

"Poet Ghost, Poet Ghost. Hmm, indeed, it's quite fitting. The existence of such a poet and such a person in later generations proves that the literary tradition of our Chinese nation is unbroken. Excellent, excellent."

Feng Jizi sighed.

"Senior, I've actually written a few poems myself. Would you like me to read them to you?"

Liu Zheng also became interested.

"Well, let's see what our ancestors bestowed upon us."

Feng Jizi said, his eyes gleaming.

It's one thing to ask him to praise the couplets, but to ask him to praise the poems would be too much to ask of such an upright person.

"Ok."

Liu Zheng regretfully picked up the jade bamboo from the ground.

"what?"

He exclaimed in surprise, because no item description popped up.

"Why do you exclaim in surprise, young friend?"

“I have a method of identification, but I cannot determine the origin of this item.”

Liu Zheng said frankly.

"Could it be that this item is of exceptionally high quality?"

"Probably not."

He shook his head.

The system has already identified epic-level items; it's impossible for our ancestors to be so generous as to give away mythical or even higher-level items outright.

"Young friend, don't panic. Let me separate this thing first."

Feng Jizi plucked a hair, straightened it, and then cut it in the middle of the jade bead, instantly splitting the jade bead into two.

That's right, there are two, not two halves.

The two jade beads are exactly the same, only their luster is a little dimmer than before.

The item description then pops up.

Name: Wind-blown Jade Bead (Incomplete)

Type: Equipment/Item

Quality: Perfect

"Effect 1: The effect of using Qimen Dunjia-type abilities is greatly enhanced."

"Effect 2: After use, you will randomly gain two Qimen Dunjia-type skills. The item will be automatically destroyed."

"Note: Feng Hou was a descendant of Fu Xi and one of the three ministers of the Yellow Emperor. He was well-versed in the ways of Fu Xi and established the Nine Palaces based on the Eight Trigrams to secure the camps and establish the settlements of all people."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Pity."

Feng Jizi sighed.

"What are you regretting, senior?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"If it were a complete jade bead, it would be a rare treasure. Now that it has been split in two, it can only be said to be of some use."

Feng Jizi replied.

"Then why not just put them all together?"

"This thing is neither real nor illusory, and it has already connected our fates. Unless we have supreme magical power, it will be difficult to reunite."

He shook his head.

"If we can't get back together, let's just stay divorced. Anyway, things are already pretty good for me."

Liu Zheng, on the other hand, took it all in stride.

Equipment items can all be considered as ways to enhance one's strength, and using them as props can also grant two skills, making them very practical.

"Young friend, you are so magnanimous; it is I who am so petty."

Feng Jizi said self-deprecatingly.

"You're doing this for my own good. But if you really feel guilty, there are ways to make amends."

He rolled his eyes and said.

"How can this be compensated?"

"Teach me a few tricks of Qimen Dunjia, hehe."

Liu Zheng said shamelessly.

Using the Wind-After Jade Bead as equipment is naturally more cost-effective than using it as an item to exchange for skills.

"Haha. I thought it was something difficult, just a few spells, what's so difficult about that?"

Feng Jizi laughed loudly.

"Great! Can you teach me now?"

He seized the opportunity to build the railway.

After all, I don't know when I'll be able to visit Dukang Distillery again.

"Alright. Young friend, please step aside."

Feng Jizi said.

"Oh."

Liu Zheng stepped back a little.

"Step back further."

Feng Jizi continued.

"Okay. Senior, is it far enough?"

This time, he simply retreated to a distance of three meters.

"Well, it's almost there."

With a flick of his sleeve, Feng Jizi conjured up several piles of books out of thin air on the ground.

There are stone tablets, knotted ropes, bamboo slips, brocade, straw paper, and so on.

"Are all of these Qimen Dunjia magic techniques?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Ah, no. These are just the basics of Qimen Dunjia. After you have learned them all, I will teach you the advanced techniques. Only after you have mastered all the advanced techniques can I teach you magic."

Feng Jizi said.

“Senior, if you don’t want to teach, just say so. I don’t necessarily have to learn.”

He said with a speechless expression.

He even went so far as to enter the inner sanctum; he estimated that it would take him a hundred or two hundred years to learn even the basics.

It's not that Liu Zheng won't live that long. Since they all say he's already half an immortal being, living for two or three hundred years shouldn't be a problem.

The key point is that the restaurant couldn't possibly allow him to stay in the Dukang winery for 180 years.

If you were to take the book out and study it on your own, it would probably take thousands of years.

In that time, Liu Zheng wouldn't have bothered learning Qimen Dunjia at all. He could have become the number one person after Si Xue by eating arrows in the sewers, if Si Xue were still the boss back then.

"There's no way around it. Qimen Dunjia seizes the creation of heaven and earth and explores the true essence of the Great Dao, so its learning difficulty is naturally extremely high. However, if you want to learn it quickly, there is a way."

Feng Jizi said.

"Then I want to learn it again."

Liu Zheng's expression immediately changed.

"What kind of magic would you like to learn, young friend?"

Feng Jizi asked.

"Let me think about it."

He fell into thought.

We have defensive skills, control skills, attack skills, enhancement skills, and even movement skills. What's missing?

Oh, right, he's also missing a ranged attack skill.

"Senior, I want to learn the skill that allows me to kill people from a distance."

Liu Zheng said.

"The ability to kill from a distance?"

Feng Jizi thought for a moment.

"There is one, but this technique harms others, oneself, and even the natural order." "It's alright, please tell me about it first. If it's really not suitable, I won't learn it."

he laughed.

Unless there is a complete set of training methods that can be mastered quickly, a single skill will not have a significant impact on his strength.

"Well, I trust your character, young friend."

Feng Jizi hesitated for a moment, then decided to trust Liu Zheng.

"This technique is called the Blood Arrow of Ten Thousand Spirits. Before casting the spell, the spirit beast must be tortured in various ways for forty-nine days. When its resentment reaches the sky, it is put into a stone mortar and ground into minced meat, and then swallowed."

"The flesh and blood of the spirit beast will not be digested, but will ferment in the caster's body and return all the torment it has experienced to the caster."

"When needed, the caster chants an incantation, transforming it into a blood arrow that shoots towards the enemy."

"The deeper the resentment of the spirit beast before its death, the longer it ferments in the caster's body, and the greater the pressure of the spell."

Feng Jizi explained.

"What kind of creature qualifies as a spirit beast?"

"Auspicious beasts such as the phoenix, dragon, qilin, and vermilion bird are all spirit beasts. Ordinary creatures that absorb the essence of the sun and moon or cultivate the orthodox methods of the Xuanmen sect and become spirits are also considered spirit beasts."

Feng Jizi suddenly stopped, hesitated for a long time, and then continued.

"Human cultivators who have attained enlightenment through cultivation can actually be considered spirit beasts."

"Good heavens, no wonder you weren't keen on teaching me, senior. By the way, how did you learn such an unorthodox spell, senior?"

Liu Zheng clicked his tongue in amazement.

"I obtained it from an ancient book. Although this method is unorthodox, as long as you can understand its principles, you can deduce the orthodox method. I deduced a spell to appease the resentment of the dead from it, but this spell cannot be mastered quickly."

Feng Jizi said.

"Ok."

While he was contemplating whether or not to learn it, he suddenly thought of another skill he had.

"Universal Flesh and Blood: The player's flesh and blood can be used as most ritual materials and spellcasting materials, and are even more effective than the materials originally required."

"Senior, why don't you try using my flesh to see if you can use this spell?"

Liu Zheng suggested.

"what?"

Feng Jizi stared at him in shock.

“Young friend, although you have the ability to regenerate flesh and blood, I have no intention of tormenting my relatives and friends. Let’s just let this matter go.”

Feng Jizi resolutely refused.

"Don't torture me, I'll just cut off a piece of meat and you can try it to see if it works."

Liu Zheng acted immediately, cutting off a section of the tentacle and giving it to him.

"Ok."

Seeing that he had already made the cut, Feng Jizi had no choice but to agree.

He took the tentacle and immediately began chanting the incantation.

"The spirit beasts weep blood, and the ghosts and gods are all skilled. They sacrifice themselves to avenge the vengeful and help me kill the enemy."

Feng Jizi pointed a finger, and his tentacle immediately transformed into a blood arrow that shot towards the ground.

"Zi!"

With a strange sound, a hole the size of a fist appeared in the ground.

Liu Zheng went over and saw that the hole was about ten centimeters deep.

"awesome."

He was very satisfied with its power.

"Senior, how does this power compare to normal spellcasting?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's less powerful than the normal Blood Arrow of Ten Thousand Spirits, but it's still usable."

Feng Jizi gave him a deep look.

Normal Soul-Binding Blood Arrows are not only troublesome to make, but also have a limited number of uses.

Not only can Liu Zheng skip the production process, but he also has the ability to regenerate flesh and blood, which he can use at will, making him incredibly terrifying.

In layman's terms, it's like turning a sniper rifle into a heavy machine gun.

Although the power of a single shot has decreased slightly, its suppressive and destructive power has increased by several levels.

"Very well, since you are destined to learn this technique, I will teach it to you. If you can use it to help the weak and punish the strong, and to vanquish demons, it will be a blessing for this technique. However, to master this technique quickly, I need to borrow the power of the jade bead in your hand. Are you willing to part with it?"

Feng Jizi asked.

"If you're willing to part with it, then please take it, senior."

Without hesitation, Liu Zheng handed the Feng Hou Jade Bead to Feng Jizi.

Just kidding, this Blood Arrow skill is a perfect match for him, it's like a bolt from the blue. How could he possibly give it up to gamble on luck?

"Alright. Now take off your shirt and sit cross-legged."

Feng Jizi said.

"no problem."

Liu Zheng quickly took off his vest and uniform, revealing his well-built muscles.

When Feng Jizi saw him sit down, he placed the jade bead in his palm and then clasped his hands together.

When he raised his hand again, the jade bead had turned into a pile of powder.

Feng Jizi brought over a brush and ink, poured jade powder into the ink, then bit his fingertip, dripped in three drops of blood, and stirred it well.

"You may experience numbness, itching, pain, or soreness later. Please do not move, or all your efforts will be wasted."

He picked up the calligraphy brush and gave instructions.

"Don't worry, senior. Even if you chop my head off with a knife, I won't budge."

Liu Zheng assured.

"it is good."

Feng Jizi nodded, filled his brush with ink, and began to write on the man's body.

Liu Zheng could barely understand the Spring Festival couplets he wrote before, but this time he couldn't understand them at all.

Unlike oracle bone script, bronze script, or seal script, it is a combination of ink dots, circles, and straight lines.

It's more like a picture than words.

After drawing the back, he drew the chest; after drawing the face, he drew the back of the head. Soon, Liu Zheng's head and upper body were covered with strange symbols.

"Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, Qimen Dunjia, Feng Hou's Woqi, all-encompassing. Take control!"

Feng Jizi reached out and slapped Liu Zhengtian's head, and all the symbols instantly disappeared into his body.

"Player has acquired an unknown skill; system integration is underway."

A system notification sounded.

"Adaptation successful. Player gains the skill: slander."

"Blood-spitting: The player holds their own flesh and blood in their mouth and spews it out as a blood arrow towards the target. The power and range of the blood arrow are positively correlated with the quality of the flesh and blood and the player's physical attributes."

"yeah!"

Liu Zheng cheered.

He finally has ranged attack skills, and he no longer has to rely solely on wielding a knife to engage in passionate sword fights with others.

Although this skill is a bit strange, what about him isn't strange?

"Thank you, senior."

He spoke sincerely to Feng Jizi.

"I'm glad you're satisfied, young friend."

Feng Jizi smiled, his face slightly pale.

First, he forcibly invoked the spirits of his ancestors, and then he quickly taught Liu Zheng magic, which consumed a considerable amount of his energy.

Liu Zheng noticed that his expression was off and was about to speak when Niu Ma called.

"Did you even deliver takeout across the border? Get back here right now!"

The oxen and horses shouted loudly.

"Boss, do you want me to go back, or does the restaurant want me to go back?"

he asked.

"Anyway, it's not me who's going to beat you up."

The cattle and horses returned.

"I understand. Boss, could you please tell Napoleon to send me out to buy some wine?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Why?"

"Two bottles with gold labels."

"Why shouldn't I help you? After all, you're my only subordinate."

Niu Ma continued.

"You're the only big shot I have. Okay, I'm hanging up now."

He hung up the phone.

"If you have something to do, go ahead and leave the list and money with me. You can come back to pick up the goods when you have time."

Feng Jizi said considerately.

"No, that won't do. We promised to spend a good New Year with you, how can we give up halfway? Please sit and have some tea while I go and cook you a good meal."

Liu Zheng said, leaving no room for refusal.

Although it was a bit of a pity to have used up three hours of his free time, he wasn't the kind of person who would turn his back on someone after receiving a benefit.

Because he didn't know if he would have another chance to visit Dukang Winery, he should cherish this opportunity to spend the New Year with Feng Jizi even more.

Repay kindness with kindness, and repay injustice with justice; this has always been the way, and it should be the way.
