Turn Left to Go Right

Liu Feng looked at the amount of Disciple Points he had.

[Disciple Points: 86]

As he stared at this number, Liu Feng wrestled with himself on whether or not he should make manuals right now.

The other Creation categories didn't show any signs of unlocking any time soon, so he decided to focus on the only category he had.

"Should I make another one?"

After experiencing the joy of a mother in a supermarket sale, Liu Feng didn't want to spend his Disciple Points so wantonly on manuals anymore. The occasional divine discount from the system store was too good.

What if the next discount reduced the price of an item originally priced at 8600 DP to a mere 86 DP? Even spending just one DP on a manual would disable him from buying the item.

There was always the method of making a bad manual to get reimbursed, but after having already tried this method and failing two times, Liu Feng felt a bit more cautious.

As for the matter of good cultivation manuals, buying a manual from the system store was more reliable than trying to make one himself.

"Heh, if I tried to make an actual good cultivation manual, there's a huge chance it would backfire on me... Wait a minute!"

Liu Feng felt as if a lightbulb had popped up above him.

"That's it! A layman like me would never be able to make a good manual! My first two successes were purely accidental and is in no way an indication of my ability. If so, then by trying to make a good one, I would end up with a manual so bad, that the system has no choice but to reimburse me for it!"

The plan continued to form in his mind as he walked back and forth.

Meanwhile, Shu Dashou and Wen Yingyu looked at him and sighed.

For the past week, Liu Feng had been sleeping in their house. At first, it was only a bed. Then, he started eating breakfast with them. Then, lunch and dinner as well.

Shu Dashou couldn't understand Liu Feng's behavior. Shouldn't cultivators refrain from eating food? They were filled with impurities, and cultivators could sustain themselves with spiritual energy anyway.

What's more, Liu Feng started cooking for them. The worst part was, his food tasted better than Wen Yingyu's!

As such, his wife asked Liu Feng to teach her!

Shu Dashou wouldn't deny that he was a bit jealous, watching the handsome Liu Feng talk with his beautiful wife...

"What if Senior Liu gets attracted to her? She's too beautiful now! I won't be able to do anything."

His worries were put to rest once both he and his wife acknowledged how weird of a person Liu Feng was in general.

Not to mention things that cultivators don't normally do, even things that mortals don't normally do, Liu Feng does on a daily basis.

He mutters to himself when he wakes up, shouts at the air, and stares off into nothingness every now and then...

Shu Dashou could rest assured that Liu Feng wouldn't be interested in his wife.

While the couple watched him like a gorilla in a zoo, Liu Feng finished formulating his plan. He headed into his room without words.

"First of all, let's test it out on Wu Nao, that guy."

Liu Feng was a bit intimidated by Wu Nao. Although not as huge as Shu Dashou, he still had a hulking presence.

He was also three years younger than Wu Nao. But as a transmigrator, his mental age was higher. At least, that was what Liu Feng liked to think.

"Metal, Fire, and Thunder..."

Looking at the three attributes, Liu Feng compared it to the methods in the Manual Creation interface.

"When I think of Metal and Fire attributes, there's only one thing that comes to mind—Weapon Smithing!"

Methods that emphasized external force, methods that used precision and control, amobg others that Liu Feng thought had something to do with weapon smithing. Even if the relation was vague, Liu Feng would put his hands all over it.

In the end, he finished the "cultivation manual".

"Costs 76 points. Whatever! I've already gone through the effort of putting it together. Might as well do it!"

Even as he named the manual and pressed confirm, Liu Feng could feel his heart in pain as his hard-earned DP flew away just like that...

[Ding! Manual "Edifice Reforging Technique" created.]

———

Edifice Reforging Technique

Grade: ungraded

Characteristics: ungraded

———

As the information rushed into his mind, Liu Feng took out his materials and wrote everything down for a few hours.

"And, done!"

His right hand started to ache. It was the first time his trusty right hand ached since middle school, when he browsed all sorts of stuff every night.

"This better work—not! This better not work!"

He headed towards Wu Nao's house immediately, wanting to get results as quickly as possible.

After asking for directions, he arrived at Wu Nao's house. The place was half the size of Shu Dashou's house, which was already very small for a family of three.

"At the very least, it isn't as bad as my makeshift hut."

He decided to knock for manners before barging in.

"Wu Nao, come out here!"

Wu Nao, who laid on his bed peacefully, sprang up as soon as he heard Liu Feng's voice.

"Master!"

He had been waiting the whole week for his master to call him. Even though he could clearly see how busy Liu Feng was, he couldn't help but feel like he had been stood up after a promise.

This gave him intense blue balls.

That was why, as soon as the first word came out of Liu Feng's mouth, Wu Nao rushed to his side and kowtowed.

"Ah, Disciple Wu, you're very... enthusiastic."

Liu Feng handed over the manual.

"Now, cultivate according to this manual."

"Master!" Wu Nao was grateful. He knew very well how precious cultivation manuals were to cultivators, yet he was willing to part with one just for him—

"Hurry up and cultivate! Time is of essence!"

"Ah, yes, master."

Wu Nao set aside his gratefulness for now and quickly opened the notebook. Reading the lines, he followed the methods very accurately.

He sat down cross-legged... and cross-eyed. His arms were also crossed, as well as his fingers. After getting into this position, Wu Nao started breathing according to the method.

Liu Feng scratched his head. As he watched Wu Nao cultivating, he recalled Shu Fanrong's unusual movements when she was cultivating as well.

Meanwhile, for the method he was following, it only required him to sit down, breath, and focus.

"Is my cultivation method too plain? Is that why I won't progress?"
