Chapter 075: Atonement? What a lovely thought

  Linzhou, after more than ten hours of recovery, Xuyu's physical strength had basically recovered by half.

  When he had regained some of his energy, he began to use his divine sense to distinguish the objects within the six storage rings on his body.

  It is undeniable that he has a great yearning for the various mysterious abilities possessed by monks.

  Among the six rings on his body, there were all sorts of things, and many of them emitted strange fluctuations. However, Xu Yu's gains from trying them out one by one were not many, simply because although those things were extraordinary, he didn't recognize most of them.

  However, when his divine thoughts came into contact with a white jade slip about half a foot long and half an inch wide, a new change suddenly appeared.

  It was as if his divine thoughts had touched another new space, and as he delved deeper, a piece of heavenly curtain suddenly appeared in the jade slip, with row upon row, line after line of ancient complex characters, which seemed to flow like water in his mind, giving him a more vivid and lifelike feeling than using his eyes.

  Of course, this kind of memory is just rote memorization. As long as he wants to, any part of the text that has passed before his eyes, any single character, will clearly appear in his mind. But what significance does it have? What is the whole passage narrating? He doesn't know at all.

  After that long piece of text, which was hundreds of words long, had thoroughly flowed away, a new divine thought suddenly appeared in the sky. This divine thought then began to disperse and reassemble in a strange manner, shaking violently for about an instant before all the divine thoughts suddenly transformed into a handful of flames.

  Seeing this scene, Xu Yu suddenly became overjoyed.

  This is just like when he first practiced the Treading the Void Technique. On one side, there were written annotations, and on the other, demonstrations. However, inside this jade slip, it wasn't a realistic environment like the Treading the Void Technique, but rather a combination and arrangement of spiritual energy, as well as vibrations.

  To observe the spiritual changes behind, one must also have sufficient divine thoughts to feel them carefully.

  At this point, he finally confirmed that this was what he had been looking for, the secret manual of techniques mastered by the monks.

  After a moment's thought, Xu Yu directly took out a reserve of food from the ring, merged it into spiritual energy, and then began to merge the various changes of that divine thought just now.

  When the spiritual energy was completely exhausted, a thought in Xuyu's mind suddenly split out and spread rapidly with a mysterious rhythm, recombined, rearranged, and trembled. Then, with a whoosh, it transformed into a ball of flame that stayed in his palm.

  In this process, he even more clearly felt a bit of subtle spiritual energy being gathered and pulled by his divine thoughts.

  Until the flames took shape, he could still feel clearly that he could control its changes, but in this process, his divine sense was also constantly being consumed at an imperceptible speed.

  "It's done! This is the Master's technique! I didn't think it would be so quick to grasp by merging!"

  In an instant, Xu Yu was thoroughly delighted.

  However, this is not too unexpected. A master manipulates the universe and displays various mysterious abilities, relying on a strong divine thought. Let one's own spiritual power spread, combine, arrange, and vibrate in different ways to display various earth-shaking powers. These abilities can be used to control magical artifacts or control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  Here, the divine thought is the key to everything, and the practice of gongfa is the foundation and source for creating and giving birth to the divine thought.

  Otherwise, at first, he couldn't rely on his divine thoughts to move objects in the air. To say that his previous movement of objects in the air was completely brute force, and the various techniques mastered by cultivators were a way of using divine thoughts with skill.

  Spirit is what monks cultivate as their divine soul!

  It's just like a person who gains knowledge through reading and then changes the world with that knowledge. What enables him to change the world is the knowledge in his mind. The thicker the knowledge, the stronger the ability. Books are only the source of knowledge.

  Xu Yu didn't cultivate any techniques or have the source of creating and giving birth to divine thoughts like ordinary cultivators, but his fusion ability replaced this process.

  So even if he hadn't been in contact with the cultivation of immortals before, he could grasp the technique of releasing divine thoughts and form a spell through the fusion of divine thoughts within a short period of time.

  However, even if he knew that he could quickly cultivate these techniques, he didn't continue to crazily merge them, because the jade slip contained too many techniques, and after the initial Flame Technique, there were numerous divine thought usage skills, all listed one by one.

  Among the six rings, there are dozens of jade slips, if you really want to merge and master them all, it's truly too exhausting.

  Looking at the jade slips in the ring, Xǔ Yú suddenly had an idea that he needed to thoroughly study these ancient complex characters that recorded various techniques. Only by mastering these characters and understanding the effects of each technique could he quickly choose the abilities he wanted to learn.

  As soon as she thought of it, Xǔ Yú rushed straight to the largest bookstore in Línzhōu.

  But just as he was hurrying to the bookstore, a pleasant ringtone suddenly rang out.

  When Xie Yu picked up her phone and saw the unfamiliar number, a look of surprise flashed across her face, but she still answered the call without hesitation.

  "Hello, is this Mr. Xu? I'm sorry, am I disturbing your rest?"

  As soon as the phone was answered, a slightly tense breathing sound came from the other end. Moreover, Xu Yu could even hear that the tension in the other person's voice was mixed with a lot of helplessness.

  "I am Xu Yu, who are you?" Upon hearing this strange voice, Xu Yu directly responded with suspicion.

  "Hehe, I am Du Peiming from the provincial government. This time I called to invite Mr. Feng's family from the province to apologize and treat you to a meal." On the other end of the line, there was suddenly a sigh, but then he sincerely stated his intention.

  Upon hearing this, Xu Yu's face was filled with confusion, but it immediately turned into a look of sudden realization. However, his expression quickly darkened again. The Feng family? That Feng family that failed to assassinate him and is now afraid? Provincial government's Du Peiming? That rising star in the political arena of Huaijiang Province? Deputy Governor Du?

  But even if he is Deputy Governor Du, what's the big deal? He and the Feng family won't just make peace with a few words from a deputy governor; the Feng family is thinking too highly of themselves.

  "No need to bother Director Du, I think I don't have time for now." With a cold laugh, Xu Yu hung up the phone with a "click". The Feng family, he was of course aware that in the secular world, they possessed power that could be described as terrifying. And even if he wanted to take revenge on them, he wouldn't easily make moves against those Feng family members in the political arena. But that didn't mean he feared that kind of power.

  Now, he wasn't in a hurry to go find trouble with the Feng family, only because his strength had not yet recovered, plus those cultivation secret books, which sparked his great interest.

  Just as Xu Yu hung up the phone, in Linzhou, a simple and atmospheric building, a man of about fifty years old, his face suddenly stiffened, followed by a bitter smile.

  If this were to happen outside, I'm afraid no one would have imagined that a deputy provincial governor would put aside his dignity and politely invite an ordinary civil servant to dinner, only to be met with disdain?

  Not to mention outsiders, even Du Peiming himself couldn't have imagined such a thing would happen not long ago. But thinking back to the phone call from his former superior just a moment before and everything he said, no matter how unbelievable it was, he had no choice but to believe it.

  "Xu Yu, who is Xu Yu after all? How can such a big Feng family be so terrified? Even the master of the Feng family is so frightened?" In his bitter smile, Du Peiming's doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger. In front of him were several clean resumes, which he had studied for nearly ten times.

  No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't figure out why a man like that would make the Feng family, who were already considered towering figures in the eyes of ordinary people, tremble with fear.

  Even if Xu Yu has a father who is the secretary of a prefecture-level city committee, and also has a deep relationship with the famous Lin family in Huaijiang Province, these powers combined are still not enough to rival the Feng family.

  With a bitter smile, Du Peiming suddenly felt a twinge of reverence for the handsome young man in the resume photo, even though he didn't want to admit it. As someone with his identity, he shouldn't still feel reverence for others, but that subconscious emotion was impossible to deny.

  Today's first update is here, and the next one will be coming soon too. I'm sweating, and it looks like I'll be an old book soon. Hehe, please recommend and collect! Everyone, let's work harder!
