Chapter 318 - 317: Father-in-Law Meets Son-in-Law
"Who’s the boss here?"
That voice, along with a gust of chilly wind, blew past.
Xin Lin nearly fell off her stool, all smiles plastered across her face.
"You are, you are, isn’t that enough?"
"A master!"
Ma Jingtian, with a face full of delight, circled around Gui Hu, offering him tea and pouring wine.
"Brown-noser."
Xin Lin muttered to herself, but obediently made room for Gui Hu to sit.
Chu Beiqing was busily dealing with a roast chicken when he heard the voice. He looked up and saw a cold-faced man appear before him.
The man was tall and sturdy, a good half-head taller than Silly Chu himself.
Gui Hu suddenly appeared and glanced at Chu Beiqing.
Chu Beiqing looked at Gui Hu with a silly grin and then smiled broadly, offering the roast chicken to him.
"Eat...eat..."
He liked this person, who actually looked quite pleasing to the eye.
Gui Hu raised an eyebrow and looked at Chu Beiqing.
"People don’t eat this."
Xin Lin was worried that Gui Hu, if displeased, would suck her foolish father dry like a mummy.
Silly Chu is just a silly Chu, and she once thought he had been getting smarter lately.
Has anyone ever seen a Corpse King eat?
To her surprise, Gui Hu took his time, accepted the chicken leg offered by Silly Chu, and began to eat very elegantly.
Xin Lin rolled her eyes.
She waved her hand for Ma Jingtian to take her silly father aside for their meal.
"The book?"
Gui Hu glanced at Xin Lin.
"Ghost God Fist Second Form."
Xin Lin posed as if ready for a straightforward transaction.
Gui Hu raised his hand, flicked his ghost claw, and a bundle of dark energy condensed into a palm-sized straw doll that fell into Xin Lin’s hand.
"What’s this?"
Xin Lin asked, full of curiosity.
"Infuse it with Fu Xi’s Energy."
Gui Hu was sparing with his words, too lazy to elaborate.
He pointed a finger and Xin Lin felt a void in her arms; the "Royal Garden Cultivation Techniques" book zoomed into Gui Hu’s ghost claw.
"Don’t tell me you’re turning over a new leaf to learn how to plant flowers and cultivate character?"
Xin Lin was curious about what Gui Hu would do with the book that wasn’t related to Spirit Art.
Gui Hu didn’t say much more; the "Cultivation Skill" book hovered in mid-air, and who knows what he did to it.
The pages of the book flickered with a soft light, and each character emitted a gentle yellow glow.
Gui Hu sucked in that yellow glow in one breath.
It might have been an illusion, but after absorbing the glow, Xin Lin felt that Gui Hu’s already tall figure seemed to grow even bigger.
"What’s that about?"
Xin Lin wondered out loud; she was sure there had been no yellow light when she checked.
"Emperor’s Fortune, similar to the Fu Xi’s Energy within you. You should know that Ancient Fu Xi was once a Human Emperor. Fu Xi’s Energy is the most upper-class form of Emperor’s Fortune. Not just the Human Emperor, but anyone from any profession who has cultivated to the utmost height will carry the auspicious energy associated with their craft. Moreover, some Spiritual Treasures and Xuan Spirit Beasts will also produce auspicious energy; the stronger the auspicious energy, the higher its rank. Once your Fu Xi’s Energy is cultivated to a higher level, you will be able to see all kinds of auspicious energy clearly."
Gui Hu spoke gravely.
Strictly speaking, Fu Xi’s Energy is also a kind of Emperor’s Fortune.
Heaven and Earth Devouring Spirit Array can supplement some Spiritual Energy, but that’s just the most basic Spiritual Energy. After devouring it, Gui Hu found that its usefulness could only meet daily needs; advancing further to restore his Ghost Power would require other methods.
Auspicious energy is above Spiritual Energy.
Of course, auspicious energy isn’t something everyone can obtain.
To gain auspicious energy, one must rely on refinement or accumulate it over time through continuous effort.
