Chapter 9: Merit
In the past, when my dad was here, although he went out for ten days and half a month every time, he would leave me a sum of money enough for my living before leaving home!
But this time, he said that he would probably never see me again in his life, but he didn't leave me a penny before leaving!
I'm also drunk on my irresponsible father!
So for me, the most important thing right now is to find a way to make money to support myself!
That night I made some food out of what little I had left in the house, and my eighteenth birthday was so sad!
During the meal, I kept thinking, how will I spend my day tomorrow? What can I do to earn living expenses?
Especially when I think that I will have to take the college entrance examination in two months, and I will need tuition and living expenses after being admitted to university, I regret my pretending behavior in front of Zhang Lingfeng and his father!
As for the fate of the Jiang family and the responsibility of the descendants of the Jiang family that my father wrote on the white paper, I didn't think much about it, because I felt that those things were too unreliable for me at present!
At present, there is only one problem that I need to solve the most, and that is the problem of eating, followed by the cost of going to college!
But I thought about breaking my head, but I still didn't come up with any more reliable way to solve these two problems.
After all, I'm just a student who hasn't yet entered the society, and I really don't have much experience in making money!
Since I couldn't think of a way, I simply didn't want to, seeing that it was already time for me to practice every day, I simply sat cross-legged on the kang at home and quietly cultivated our Jiang family's ancestral method of exhalation and absorption.
The sub-hours and noon of each day, that is, from eleven o'clock to one o'clock in the evening, and from eleven o'clock to one o'clock at noon, are the best cultivation times for this set of exhalation and absorption methods handed down by our Jiang family.
In the past ten years, under my father's strong request, I have never stopped practicing this method of exhalation and absorption.
Ever since one day when I was fifteen years old, every time I entered the cultivation state, there would be a stream of air flowing through my body.
From the Parkway point on the top of my head to the spring point on the soles of my feet, as long as I can think of it, this air flow can reach any part of my body.
In my father's words, this air flow is the unique phase qi of our Jiang family, and only when we have cultivated phase qi can we use the physiognomy and other spells in the ancestral book of our Jiang family.
And as the phase qi increases, the wider the range of physiognomy techniques I can use, and the more other techniques I can use.
But after cultivating for a while, I was surprised to find that the qi flow in my body, which was what my father called phase qi, had increased a lot compared to before.
If the phase qi in my body was equivalent to a drop of water before, then tonight the phase qi in my body suddenly became a spoonful of water!
The difference between this drop of water and a spoonful of water may not seem like much, but it can help me a lot in the use of physiognomy.
If in the past I could only use my little poor phase qi for my eyes, now I have a phase qi that can use my eyes and ears at the same time.
According to the "Book of Divine Appearance", as the spirit of all things, everyone actually has a huge treasure house, and this treasure house is our body!
The phase qi cultivated by our Jiang family's ancestral method of exhalation and absorption is equivalent to the key to open the treasure house.
Gathering the qi in the eyes, it can cut off the good fortune for the people in the yang world, and can cause and effect for the ghosts in the underworld, it is said that the cultivation is to the extreme, and you can also cultivate the eye of heaven and the eye of the gods.
The Eye of Heaven can see through time, space, yin and yang, while the Eye of God has the ability to destroy all evil!
Just like the mythical and legendary Erlang God Yang Jian, his third eye that can emit golden light and lightning is the Divine Eye!
And it is said that Jiang Ziya, the ancestor of our Jiang family, is still the uncle of Erlang God Yang Jian.
If you have your ears in your ears, you will not only be able to understand the words of the people in the yang world, but also the ghost words of the underworld, and even the language of those animals.
It is said that the cultivation has reached the extreme, and any language of the hundreds of millions of races within the Three Realms and Six Realms can be understood.
There are also the benefits of phase qi for the nose, phase qi for the tongue, phase qi for the brain, for the limbs, and even for all parts of the body, but this requires a lot of text to introduce, so let's talk about it later.
All in all, as long as you can apply phase qi to any part of the body, it means that you have cultivated to the realm of a first-grade divine appearance, reaching the height that our Jiang family's ancestor Jiang Ziya once reached.
A god appearance, that is the existence that can seal the gods, is beyond my imagination at the moment!
I can only initially use phase qi for my eyes and ears, and at present, I can only be regarded as an entry-level phase master of the Yellow Rank Nine Ranks, and I still have a long, long way to go if I want to reach the realm of a first-grade divine appearance.
However, after this sudden increase in phase qi a lot, I seem to have found a way to cultivate phase qi.
Since I cultivated the phase qi when I was fifteen years old, the phase qi in my body has always been so small, but why is it that it has increased countless times all of a sudden?
According to the "Divine Physiognomy Heavenly Book", the cultivation of phase qi requires two things, and only when these two things complement each other will the phase qi continue to increase, and the level of the phase master can be improved.
One of these two things is naturally the set of exhalation and absorption methods passed down by our Jiang family's ancestors, because only by persisting in continuous cultivation at two o'clock in the meridian every day can we cultivate phase qi and make phase qi more refined.
And the other thing, the "Book of Divine Appearance" does not describe too much, only the word merit is written.
In the past, I was skeptical of the "Divine Appearance Heavenly Book", and even the cultivation of the method of exhalation and absorption was forced by my father to cultivate to slowly develop a habit, and I didn't care much about the two words of merit mentioned in the "Divine Appearance Heavenly Book".
And this time, after experiencing the affairs of Zhang Lingfeng's family, I seem to understand the meaning of the word merit!
In fact, to put it bluntly, the cultivation of phase qi requires the accumulation of merits, and the more merits, the more phase qi will increase, and the faster the level of the phase master will be improved.
I helped Zhang Lingfeng's father and his grandfather understand the cause and effect, resolved the resentment between their father and son, and made the world one less evil ghost, which should be regarded as a great merit.
It is with this merit that my phase qi can increase, and I have become a phase master of the Yellow Order Nine Grades.
In other words, as long as I can accumulate a lot of merit, it will be possible for me to become a god-like being!
However, if you want to become an existence like a god, how much merit do you have to accumulate? I don't have any idea!
I'm just a yellow-rank ninth-grade physiognomy now, and I'm thirty-five grades away from a first-rank god, and the gap between them is unimaginable in terms of my current knowledge!
For me at the moment, the problem of eating is still the number one problem that needs to be solved urgently!
In this way, after two hours of cultivation, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and I was lying on the kang and wanted to sleep, but I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
My dad's departure, and what happened today, flashed in my mind one by one, and how should I live tomorrow?
The thought of this cruel and cruel question makes my head tremble.
I stayed up on the kang all night over and over again, causing my face to be very ugly when I woke up the next morning, with a pair of oversized dark circles under my eyes, and my face was a little pale, which was just the same as Zhang Lingfeng when he was put on by his grandfather!
After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I went to school with my schoolbag on my back, and when I passed by a steamed bun shop, I used the few dollars I had left on my body to buy a few steamed buns and a cup of soy milk.
Anyway, there is only so much money left, so I simply spend it and pull it down!
I believe that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it is impossible for a young man like me to not even solve the problem of eating by himself!
But at noon, when I was habitually practicing the method of exhaling and absorbing qi every day, my stomach was rumbling very uncontrollably.
At this time, Qin Chuchu, the school flower of our school, sat next to me with two boxed lunches from the school cafeteria.
