Door-to-door dragon son-in-law

Ye Chen is not a stingy person, but he really feels sorry for spiritual energy.

What's more, the spiritual energy that was cheated this time reached an unprecedented new height. All the spiritual energy in his body, plus the spiritual energy from the hand seals, plus the five Peiyuan Pills, were all cheated away. This loss was more painful than losing 10 billion US dollars.

Lin Wan'er had never expected that after she fed Ye Chen five pills in a row, the spiritual energy would disappear without a trace. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "Master, this... this spiritual energy shouldn't just disappear for no reason, right? Could it have been sucked away by the ring again?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said dejectedly, "It really wasn't it this time. I wanted to guide all the spiritual energy into the ring, but the spiritual energy generated by the handprint was not only out of my control, but also seemed to have its own consciousness. It carried my original spiritual energy straight into my sea of ​​consciousness, so that I lost control of my own spiritual energy. Then you kept feeding me pills, and it seemed to have consciousness. When it found new spiritual energy in my dantian, it turned around and killed me. It killed five pills and went in and out six times. I suspect that it was setting a trap for me from the beginning to the end, giving me a little profit first, and then constantly drawing cakes for me. I thought my spiritual energy had doubled with its help, but in fact it was greedy for my capital..."

After saying this, he thought of the five pills, covered his face and sighed: "This is equivalent to forcing me to chase five times the leverage after my account was liquidated... Damn it! Isn't this just a dog dealer in the stock market that specifically lures in more investors and kills retail investors?!"

Lin Wan'er murmured, "It... no matter what, it is just the spiritual energy cultivated by the young master using hand seals. It is impossible for spiritual energy to have self-awareness. How could it be so cunning..."

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I can't figure it out either. It doesn't make sense at all..."

Lin Wan'er asked, "Since you can be sure that the spiritual energy was not absorbed by the ring, could it be absorbed by something else?"

"Others?" Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Besides the ring you gave me and the medicine cauldron I extorted from the head of Taizhen Dao, I have not obtained any other ready-made magic tools from other channels. But this time it is not a ring, and it cannot be a medicine cauldron."

Lin Wan'er asked in confusion, "But... even your body may not be able to carry such a huge amount of spiritual energy. Why did it disappear without a trace after reaching your sea of ​​consciousness? I have been by your side just now and did not feel anything unusual. Logically, the spiritual energy in your body should not have taken the opportunity to escape from your body. But it just disappeared for no reason. It is really too weird."

“Yes…” Ye Chen sat up straight with difficulty, and cursed in frustration: “This is like a person eating several times his own weight in one meal. It sounds incredible, but when the spiritual energy reaches the sea of ​​consciousness, it really disappears without a trace.”

Lin Wan'er continued, "Sir, have you ever thought about why when you and I stood under the Northern Lights, the lights transformed into that set of handprints? Could it be that the other party had been setting a trap for you since then?"

Ye Chen asked: "You mean, someone deliberately asked Ji Guang to teach me the handprints and tricked me into falling for it, just to cheat me out of all my spiritual energy?"

Lin Wan'er nodded and said, "Let me and you reason together. If this is a trap from the beginning to the end, then the initiator of the trap must be either a person or an object;"

Then, Lin Wan'er continued, "I think the possibility of it being a human is very small. Even if there were experts hiding near the Aurora that day, it is unlikely that they would follow us all the way across the ocean, follow us to Jinling, and follow us into the basement of this villa. Unless it is a supernatural thing like a ghost, but this is unconfirmed and unlikely;"

Ye Chen agreed and said, "It is indeed unlikely to be a human or a ghost. If it is a human, then he must at least master the invisibility technique in fantasy novels, otherwise it would be impossible for him to follow us step by step without being discovered by us. As for ghosts, this is even more unreliable. There is no evidence to prove the existence of ghosts. Besides, even if there are ghosts, ghosts cannot absorb spiritual energy."

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, Miss Lin, you said before that cultivators who failed in the tribulation can disintegrate into a scattered immortal. Are scattered immortals like ghosts, invisible and intangible to ordinary people or cultivators with insufficient cultivation? If so, then I can't be targeted by a scattered immortal, right?"

Lin Wan'er said, "The term 'loose immortal' is just a legend I found in some rare and unofficial history books. I don't have any evidence to prove its existence. Moreover, the probability of surviving the tribulation is one in a hundred, and the remaining ninety-nine will basically end up being reduced to ashes. The probability of being able to disintegrate into a loose immortal in time after failing the tribulation is probably even smaller than the probability of successfully passing the tribulation, so we shouldn't be so lucky to bump into one, right? Moreover, according to the records in the book, although a loose immortal is forced to disintegrate, his strength is second only to that of a cultivator who successfully passed the tribulation. The reason why he is called a loose immortal is because he is an immortal trapped in the mortal world."

At this point, Lin Wan'er looked at Ye Chen and said cautiously: "Sir, I don't mean anything else... Even if we really met an immortal in Northern Europe, that immortal would not look down on the spiritual energy in your body..."

Ye Chen nodded in agreement: "Meng Changsheng has been practicing for a thousand years and still hasn't reached the stage of transcending tribulation. This shows that cultivators in the stage of transcending tribulation are extremely powerful, not to mention the Loose Immortals. It is very likely that even Meng Changsheng cannot be considered by the Loose Immortals, let alone someone like me."

Lin Wan'er continued, "In this way, we can basically rule out people or ghosts, so the only possibility is 'things'. And if it is a thing, it is definitely not an ordinary thing. The ring left by my father can't do this. So the 'thing' behind this is very likely to be much more powerful than that ring. Sir, you should think about it carefully. Have you come into contact with any magic weapon? Could it be that the magic weapon is left in your body or even hidden in your sea of ​​consciousness?"

Ye Chen racked his brains for a long time and muttered, "To be honest, I haven't seen many good things since I started practicing. There is really nothing that can be related to this matter."

As he spoke, he also thought of the Four-sided Treasure Banner, so he subconsciously said, "If I were to talk about the best things I've ever seen, the Four-sided Treasure Banner would definitely be one of them. It was a national treasure created by Master Xuanzang and countless monks, but I have already returned the Four-sided Treasure Banner intact."

Although the Four-sided Treasure Pagoda is a magic weapon, it is a Feng Shui treasure built for the country's destiny, and Ye Chen has quietly returned it to the country. Ye Chen never found any abnormalities in it during his contact with it, and naturally he did not believe that this incident was related to the Four-sided Treasure Pagoda.

Lin Wan'er did not give up and asked Ye Chen: "Sir, when you were in contact with the Four-sided Treasure Tower, did you find any abnormalities in the Four-sided Treasure Tower that you did not understand?"

“No.” Ye Chen shook his head and said, “Except for transmitting to me a video of that year, there is nothing special about the Four Directions Treasure Tower. Moreover, when I entered it with my spiritual energy, I only activated one of the formations that hid the video. In theory, the Four Directions Treasure Tower played a documentary recorded on it for me. Apart from that, I had no other interaction with it, and I didn’t notice anything special about it.”

Lin Wan'er asked, "Since then, have you discovered anything unusual about yourself?"

“No.” Ye Chen said confidently: “My consciousness withdrew from the Four-sided Treasure Tower after watching that video footage, and I didn’t find anything unusual.”

Lin Wan'er said, "The Four-sided Treasure Banner was jointly created by Master Xuanzang and the top monks of the Tang Dynasty. To a certain extent, it can be considered a Buddhist instrument, and what we saw in the sky above Northern Europe was also a Buddhist handprint. Maybe there is really some connection between the two."

Although Ye Chen could not sense any existence related to the Four-sided Treasure Tower, Lin Wan'er's mention of this did make him a little suspicious, so he said, "So, the Four-sided Treasure Tower is a little suspicious. Logically speaking, there are no countries in Europe that believe in Buddhism. Even if there are strange phenomena in the sky near the Arctic Circle in Northern Europe, the aurora should turn into a Christian cross, not a Buddhist swastika. But I really don't feel anything related to the Four-sided Treasure Tower. I am really confused."

Lin Wan'er asked him, "Sir, how about I contact Old Sun and see if I can arrange for you to take another look at the Four-sided Treasure Tower to see if there are any details that were missed at the beginning?"
