I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 90: Don’t underestimate the eyesight of the demon cultivator (th update)
"It seems that you have learned something again? Tell me, what do you want to learn today?" As soon as the You hour arrived, Li Maolin arrived as scheduled. He only needed to use his spiritual sense to scan and found that the jade belt around Feng Xue's waist had been replaced with a path drawn with magic silver. He secretly complained that this kid's hands-on ability was too incredible, but he still asked in a calm tone.

Although Feng Xue still wanted to learn more, he was leaving tonight. After thinking it over, he decided not to ask for new content. Instead, he pulled out two golden threads and said,
"The three seasons promised by the senior are still two days away. There's no rush to learn anything new today. Could you first help me find out what's wrong with these two magical golds?"

"Oh?" Li Maolin was not surprised when he heard this. He took the golden thread and began to study it.

"Oh, the outer wall of your gold is too thin. Seeing that you have used silver in your belt, it seems that the gold failed but the silver can be used, right?"

"Indeed, Senior, you have a keen eye!" Feng Xue saw that the other party had seen through the problem at a glance and praised him generously. Li Maolin just smiled when he heard this and extended his hand to touch the magic gold. After studying for a while, Feng Xue immediately reacted and activated the Qi-gazing technique. However, he saw that in Li Maolin's hand, a stream of heterogeneous magic power continued to penetrate inward, pressing the ritual engraved by Feng Xue deeper, until it was almost halfway through, and then stopped.

"Will you try it now?"

Feng Xue took the golden thread and tried it briefly, and immediately his eyes lit up. Li Maolin explained:
"Do you think gold or silver is more efficient in conducting mana?"

Feng Xue was slightly taken aback when he heard this question. Although he was a little puzzled, he did not try to guess the meaning of this question. Instead, he said according to his own judgment:

"Should it be gold?"

"As for the conclusion, that's correct." As soon as Li Maolin said this, Feng Xue immediately frowned: "Conclusion?"

"Yes, actually, excluding external factors, silver's conductivity is superior to gold. However, due to the existence of willpower, people believe that gold is stronger and more precious than silver in all aspects. Under this external influence, the actual use of gold will actually be better. However, this improvement in effect is reflected in the final stage, similar to the final settlement when calculating interest. When we make magic tools, we do it before the influence of willpower, so we need to consider the performance before the influence of willpower (Note ①)..."

Li Maolin carefully explained the influence of willpower on the casting of spells, as well as how to eliminate the interference of willpower to ensure the accuracy of magic tools, etc.

If before, Li Maolin was only teaching Feng Xue with the intention of suffering losses and overcoming tribulations, then at this time, he was really showing his true ability, because he felt that if he could accept a disciple with great luck, maybe he could live more smoothly in the next six months, and then his chances of surviving the ultimate leap on July 15th would be greater. This would be much more beneficial than directly eating this kid up.

But having said that, we still need to conduct some tests, at least to make sure that this guy is really a lucky casual cultivator!
Li Maolin taught carefully and Feng Xue listened attentively. For the Xuan cultivators in this world, the problem of increasing the power of will was only a small error, but for Feng Xue who wanted to travel to other worlds, the error was huge.

Just as Feng Xue took out the notebook, Li Maolin's brows suddenly jumped. A sense of disharmony emerged in his heart. His spiritual realm was so powerful that he only turned slightly and found the problem -

Feng Xue's way of holding the notes today is different from usual!
"Did you change the Hutian bag? Did you make it yourself? Speaking of which, this kid has indeed been collecting willpower recently, but why change it now?"

Suspicious, Li Maolin looked at the room in the guesthouse again and felt that there were flaws everywhere. Although he had only taught Feng Xue in this room for four days, combined with the experience of the previous ten days, Li Maolin could already roughly summarize the usual habits of Feng Xue and the snake demon. The inconsistency now meant that Feng Xue had changed his habits for some reason.

"Some of the furnishings in the house are missing. Are they preparing to move? But their house hasn't been renovated at all. It's hard to buy furniture for a new house during the Spring Festival..." Li Maolin compared all the details in his mind, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind -

This kid wants to run!
Although I don’t know why he ran away, there is no doubt that this kid planned to leave Lucheng during the New Year holidays!

"No, no, that's not right. It seems possible... No, that's not right either..." Li Maolin's heart was suddenly in chaos. On the one hand, he felt that if Feng Xue left Lucheng, without the interference of many Xuan cultivators, it would be easier for him to take action in the wilderness. But on the other hand, leaving Lucheng might lead to him encountering Xuan cultivators whose background he didn't know.

Two thoughts were tangled in his mind, and Li Maolin suddenly realized a problem -

This kid might not want to run away now, but has wanted to run away for a long time!
If his guess was correct, and this was a lucky kid, then what had been happening in Lucheng these days was probably no different from tightrope walking in his eyes. He knew he was unworthy of his position, but he didn't dare expose himself as a rookie with a treasure...

Although this idea seems strange from the perspective of the righteous logic of this world, Li Maolin is a demon cultivator. If you think about it from the perspective of a demon cultivator's law of the jungle, then it makes perfect sense!

"So that's how it is. What this kid got might be the legacy left by a senior demon cultivator. In this way, both his wide range of knowledge and logical thinking make sense. As for the big demon, maybe he was enslaved by magic tools like the Demon Control Ring, so he worked but didn't put in any effort!

"But if it's as I think, then the reason this guy is running away now is probably because he just got into trouble, and he's worried that if he leaves, he'll be mistaken for the real culprit... Considering it from this perspective..."

Li Maolin suddenly had an idea in his mind. If before, he just wanted to take the opportunity to test Feng Xue as a preparatory step to accept him as a disciple, then now, this plan must be adjusted!

After all, since Feng Xue was able to postpone his departure twice in a row due to emergencies, maybe it would still be effective if he did it again!
He didn't ask for it to be delayed too long, as long as it was delayed until after the New Year, until he could achieve the unity of body and soul through the power of the New Year's wish for renewal. After that, even if Feng Xue didn't want to leave, he would push her away!
……

Miss Deng had been waiting outside the guesthouse since 4:30. She had drunk a pot of good tea until it had lost its color, and had eaten three boxes of snacks. Seeing that it was already dark, she sighed and said -

"There really isn't any movement at all... That's not right?"

As she spoke, she stood up suddenly and was about to rush towards the guesthouse, but her body was fixed in place by the spiritual light——

"You silly girl, what are you doing? The fact that you can react now means that the other person's magic has been cancelled. Let alone whether you can win the fight, you can't even get the slightest evidence against him. Do you think the people in the city will believe in you, a spirit medium? Or do they believe in the orthodox Xuanmen sect?"

After hearing what Master Huijiu said, Miss Deng also sat down dejectedly and said angrily, "That's why I have to seize this opportunity! Otherwise, these southerners will never look down on us!"
