Chapter 03

Gao Xian clearly remembered that the Human Dao Spiritual Light was originally at 335 points. He had used two points for an experiment, leaving him with 333 points.

So why had it returned to 335 points?

Where did these additional two points of Human Dao Spiritual Light come from? Today, he had only met three people.

Gao Xian couldn't help but think of the complex look in his sister-in-law's eyes when she left. Could it be related to her?

Unfortunately, there was no way to verify this.

The addition of these few points of Human Dao Spiritual Light wasn't particularly useful right now, and he didn't have time to delve deeper into it.

Gao Xian quickly tapped his fingers, allocating 300 points to the *Electric Light Dragon Hand* technique, instantly upgrading it from proficient to expert level.

**Electric Light Dragon Hand**: When performing fixed, simple actions, hand speed becomes extremely fast. The hands conceal electric light energy, capable of delivering intense, pleasurable sensations to the target. (1/400 Expert)

Gao Xian keenly noticed the change in the description. Previously, the technique was limited to "certain fixed, simple actions," but at the expert level, the word "certain" was removed.

This meant that his hand speed could now be extremely fast for any fixed, simple action.

By the way, when he was allocating points earlier, his fingers moved unusually fast—he tapped 113 times in just two or three seconds.

Also, what exactly is this "intense, pleasurable sensation"?

In the mirror, the woman who resembled Sister Lan began to move. She extended her delicate hand, performing simple actions like bending her fingers, making a fist, and waving.

Her hand movements grew faster and faster, while her beautiful face became increasingly alluring. Her eyes, filled with a mix of shyness and delight, made Gao Xian's heart race. He almost wished he could leap into the mirror and join her.

In a daze, Gao Xian felt a tingling sensation in his hands, as if electricity was coursing through them. They also felt swollen and warm.

He looked at his hands and saw faint electric light flickering beneath his skin. The muscles, tendons, and bones inside seemed to be adjusting and transforming.

Suddenly, Gao Xian understood: the *Electric Light Dragon Hand* technique was altering the state of his hands, allowing them to become faster and more stable.

He also realized that these simple hand movements covered most scenarios where hand dexterity was required.

Gao Xian felt a surge of excitement. This skill wasn't entirely useless after all.

If he upgraded it further, perhaps more restrictions would be removed, and his fast hands could be applied to even broader situations.

But he didn't have enough Human Dao Spiritual Light.

The *Great Puppet God Technique* could also be upgraded, but what use did it have?

Gao Xian felt he shouldn't act recklessly. It was better to research and understand things first.

He grabbed the little black cat by the scruff of its neck and lifted it up.

Gao Xian's movement to grab the cat was incredibly fast—so fast that the kitten didn't even have time to react.

The little black cat felt uncomfortable. It meowed twice, shaking its head and tail vigorously, its fur standing on end as it struggled to break free from Gao Xian's grip.

Gao Xian, using the *Electric Light Dragon Hand* technique, gently stroked the kitten's fur in the direction of its hair.

"Meow... meow..."

The fiercely struggling kitten immediately softened. It obediently lay down beside Gao Xian, so comfortable that its eyes almost closed.

Its previously sharp meows turned into soft, milky, and adorable sounds...

Suddenly, Gao Xian understood: the *Electric Light Dragon Hand* was actually a divine skill for petting cats!

After pondering for most of the day, Gao Xian roughly figured out the practical uses of the *Electric Light Dragon Hand*.

It worked on cats, and it could work on people too. With this skill, he could open a massage parlor, and business would surely boom, earning him a fortune every day!

But it still didn't solve his immediate problem.

Suppressing his restless emotions, Gao Xian took out the *Wind and Moon Mirror* and focused his gaze on the *Great Puppet God Technique*.

The *Great Puppet God Technique* was already at the expert level, just 80 points away from the next level.

Since the Human Dao Spiritual Light was just sitting there unused, he might as well give it a try.

With a determined heart, Gao Xian allocated 80 points of Human Dao Spiritual Light to the *Great Puppet God Technique*.

**Great Puppet God Technique**: The heart senses within, the spirit descends without. High and low connect, the dual energies combine to form divinity. Its wonders are endless. (1/5000 Master).

Seeing the updated data on the mirror, Gao Xian was stunned. Why did the points required for the next level increase tenfold after reaching the master level?

What was so special about this master-level *Great Puppet God Technique*?

Gao Xian couldn't help but look at Sister Lan inside the *Wind and Moon Mirror*. She seemed to sense his gaze, shyly lowering her head and gracefully turning away, swaying as she walked deeper into the mirror.

Deep within the mirror, a faint red candlelight appeared, illuminating a curtain of beaded tassels.

Behind the beaded curtain was a brocade couch, covered with a yellow quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks. A green jade pillow lay askew on the bed.

Sister Lan parted the beaded curtain, took off her embroidered shoes, and lazily lay down on the brocade couch, her back facing Gao Xian.

Her reclining figure—neck, shoulders, waist, hips, and legs—formed a series of curves, showcasing the soft and alluring beauty of a woman's body.

Her skirt was slightly disheveled, revealing a section of her slender calf and her snow-white foot.

The swaying beaded curtain reflected countless points of light, and behind this shimmering veil, Sister Lan appeared even more dreamlike and enchanting.

Gazing at Sister Lan's bewitching figure, Gao Xian felt his mouth go dry. This... was far more captivating than any of the Japanese "teachers" he had seen.

Suddenly, Gao Xian realized that, at some point, he had already stepped in front of the beaded curtain.

Sister Lan was now within arm's reach.

"This... this isn't appropriate, is it?" Gao Xian's heart was torn by intense conflict. Part of him wanted to step forward and enjoy this beautiful moment, but...

But he was well aware that Sister Lan wasn't a real person—she was merely a puppet deity conjured from his imagination, a phantom existing within the *Wind and Moon Mirror*.

Doing this felt truly shameful...

As Gao Xian wrestled with his inner conflict, Sister Lan on the brocade couch slowly turned toward him, offering a radiant smile. Her eyes, filled with charm and tenderness, locked onto his.

Seeing Gao Xian hesitate, Sister Lan playfully crooked her finger at him, beckoning him closer.

That simple, delicate gesture stirred a tempest within Gao Xian, sweeping away all his remaining rationality.

...

Afterward, Gao Xian sat on the bed, dazed. It felt as though he had truly entered the *Wind and Moon Mirror*, sharing an intimate moment with Sister Lan in that exquisitely decorated chamber.

The experience was so vivid, yet dreamlike, leaving him unable to fully articulate what had transpired.

The merging of dual energies, the communion of spirits, and the stirring of emotions had transported him to an unparalleled state of bliss. Within his body, his essence and energy flowed seamlessly, cycling endlessly between spirit and vitality.

Gao Xian was certain that this act was not only harmless to his body but also purified his essence and strengthened his spirit.

This secret technique was truly extraordinary. Through such exchanges, his spirit, energy, and essence would grow increasingly robust, and the puppet deity Sister Lan would also become more powerful.

At the master level, Sister Lan could even enter his brow and assist him in forming a *Fa Lu* (法箓), a mystical talisman crucial for cultivation and spellcasting.

For cultivators, the first key to practicing and casting spells lies in visualizing the *Fa Lu* within their mental realm.

Only a fully formed *Fa Lu* can gather and manipulate the primordial energies of heaven and earth.

Having inherited some of the original host's memories, Gao Xian knew that the *Fa Lu* was the cornerstone of cultivation and spellcasting.

With Sister Lan's help in forming the *Fa Lu*, he could save considerable time and effort in visualization—this was an immense advantage!

However, such a secret technique inevitably carried a certain... implication. It conflicted slightly with the moral education Gao Xian had received.

Thus, he couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

But then, Sister Lan smiled at him, and even crooked her finger at him—how could anyone resist that!
