“How much would I have to pay if I blew up a hole in the square?”
Chen Huaian stared at the lawn in deep thought.
Although he was relatively wealthy now, this amount of money probably wouldn’t be enough to cover the damages.
“Is there anything that I could blow up and not have to pay for it?”
After much deliberation, Chen Huaian finally arrived at a nearby landfill. The residents’ garbage had almost filled up the landfill, and the garbage trucks hadn’t had time to clean it up yet. Since everything here was garbage, blowing up a hole shouldn’t be a problem.
“So, here we go!”
Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, reached into his bag with his right hand, pinched a thunderfire talisman between his index and ring fingers, and then swiftly pulled it out.
Biu～
The talisman flew half a meter before crashing to the ground.
Chen Huaian: “…”
No, the talisman should be accompanied by a chant.
He picked up the talisman, coldly shouted, “Yiya! Urgently as commanded by law!”
Biu～
The talisman flew half a meter again before crashing down.
Could it be that the chant was wrong?
Chen Huaian frowned and shouted again:
“Condense—!”
“Go!”
“Let’s do this!”
“Zi Ze～”
“Ai Du Ken!”
“Ji Bi Ni!”
“Sai Ban——!!!”
The thunderfire talisman crashed to the ground repeatedly.
Chen Huaian fell into deep thought.
No, in the game, he didn’t say any chants, so it couldn’t be the problem with the chant. It must be the posture!
What posture did the immortal use when throwing the talisman?
Chen Huaian tried several poses on the spot, including a spinning shot put style, a running javelin throw style, a single-handed forehead-holding card-flinging style, and a single-handed salt-sprinkling style… No matter what action he used, none of them worked.
“Huh, I am indeed too naive…”
Chen Huaian looked up at the sky, his gaze forming a sorrowful 45-degree angle with the horizon, and laughed self-mockingly: “There are no talismans, no cultivation world, just a dying cancer patient’s boring fantasy.”
A stray dog passed by Chen Huaian’s feet.
The dog sniffed Chen Huaian’s shoes, suddenly changed its expression, and ran away howling like it had seen a ghost.
Chen Huaian was stunned for a moment, and a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.
Back then, the talisman was triggered when it landed on a living creature, which means throwing it directly wasn’t right; he lacked a specific target!
Then what should he use as a target to try?
Subconsciously, the image of Ba Ji flashed through his mind.
In the room, Ba Ji, who was sleeping on the sofa, suddenly shivered all over, feeling a chill from head to toe, but looking around, he couldn’t sense where this killing intent came from.
“No, Ba Ji is so cute, and we can’t abuse animals.”
Chen Huaian shook his head standing by the landfill.
The killing intent surrounding Ba Ji also dissipated.
“I’ll buy a fish from the market when I get home later.”
This was the only feasible target Chen Huaian could think of.
It’s as if he was originally going to eat this fish anyway.
Besides, normal fish slaughtering involves scaling and gutting, but if the talisman was triggered, it would instantly carbonize the fish, so he wouldn’t be considered cruel to animals.
With his thoughts clear, Chen Huaian happily ran to the place where the old man practiced boxing, and sure enough, saw the old man there.
“Hey, young man, you didn’t come yesterday, I thought you were just a three-minute passion,” Li Lao, seeing Chen Huaian’s cloudy eyes, immediately brightened up. He felt quite sad when Chen Huaian didn’t show up yesterday.
“Haha, how could that be? Mr. Li, I had something yesterday.”
Chen Huaian propped his phone on a selfie stick.
The moment he opened the game, he almost sprayed blood from his nose.
Li Qingran was already wearing the new pajamas she bought, perfectly fitting her.
She sat on the bed, her face flushed like spilled cinnabar, even her neck was completely covered. Her hair naturally fell to her temples, and part of her earlobe was hidden inside, like red jade tucked into black silk.
She puffed out her cheeks to blow her bangs away, revealing her smooth forehead. Her slender neck supported her oval face, her beautiful eyes full of emotion, occasionally glancing at the roof as if waiting for something.
As she raised her head, her delicate collarbone was fully displayed, like pavilions in mountain peaks supported by plump white jade mountains.
The valley was quiet but showed no spring scenery; a piece of emerald green phoenix bird lay across, with red strings winding like a string of plum blossoms in the snow.
Her waist was slender, barely a handful. In the hazy candlelight, as her little feet wiggled, her waist swayed gently, like a breeze carrying the night.
Looking at those little feet, truly…
“What are you looking at, kid? Pitch dark.”
Chen Huaian was startled, instinctively covering the screen, and laughed awkwardly, “N-nothing, I was just looking at some study materials for postgraduate exams, ah ha, ahahaha…”
“You’re still sensible. My grandson is about your age, always thinking about starting a business, and he lost two million yuan and is still trying!” Li Lao shook his head, troubled by this matter.
“Hold on? Mr. Li, what did you say just now?”
“I said my grandson started a business.”
“The latter part.”
“Lost two million yuan?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Chen Huaian’s smile contained 99% flattery: “Mr. Li, the pressure of starting a business is really too great. I feel it would be too cruel to make him bear it alone. Why don’t I help?”
“Well, it’s not impossible.” Li Lao waved his hand: “Mainly, my grandson borrowed the money.”
Chen Huaian: “Then let’s practice boxing.”
The topic returned to practicing boxing.
Chen Huaian forced himself not to look at Li Qingran and instead checked the progress of the Qinglian Sword Canon. Seeing it, he was dumbfounded.
The first twelve chapters of the Qinglian Sword Canon had all reached the initial stage of 99%, and with a bit more practice, they could advance to the minor success stage.
Moreover, the first move, “Long Wind Breaking Waves,” and the second move, “Sword Light Out of the Scabbard,” had both been unlocked and could be practiced.
“What the heck happened?!”
Chen Huaian was utterly confused.
He didn’t remember practicing these.
How did they all advance to the minor success stage?
Could it be that he practiced while dreaming last night?
“Young man, I see you’re quite interested in sword techniques.”
While Chen Huaian was poking around trying to find the reason,
the voice of Li Lao, a mix of smugness and boasting, came from beside him:
“That day, I went back and studied it. Your previous move was the starting stance of the sword technique, so I specifically reviewed the Tai Chi Sword I learned before… How about it, are you interested in learning from this old man?”
Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes: “So, Grandpa, your sword technique is very impressive?”
“Cough~” Li Lao raised his chin: “Not bad, I estimate it could rank first in the entire province.”
“Wow! That impressive!!”
Li Lao was pleased, patting Chen Huaian on the shoulder: “I guarantee, after watching me perform the sword technique once, you’ll want to call me Master!”
