I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 196. Vermilion Bird Reappears

"The ’Vermilion Bird’ was wholly composed of flames, the flames surging and burning, dazzling like a tiny sun.

But at that moment, its brilliance and temperature did no harm to the outside world at all.

Lu Li could look directly at the other party and see every single ’Flame Feather’ on the ’Vermilion Bird.’

However... the Vermilion Bird’s arrival was a bit odd.

It made sense when Wanqing had a breakthrough before, but now it was appearing in the midst of... well, vigorous activity.

At first, Lu Li wondered if he had been too vigorous, and the creature had come to seek revenge for its master.

But Wanqing was perfectly fine, actually getting into the spirit of things.

Moreover, despite being blind, she could clearly ’see’ the firebird and even reached out curiously to touch it.

The fiery body of the ’Vermilion Bird’ emitted a trail of light, but it did not harm her jade-like hands in the slightest, even nuzzling her with its head.

"No hostility, but rather a hint of joy?"

Lu Li felt the emotions of the Vermilion Bird, indeed, it was "joy."

But then, the ’Vermilion Bird’ unexpectedly... bowed its head to Lu Li!?

As if a common person were bowing in a gesture of respect! Filled with a sense of reverence!?

This completely baffled Lu Li... Why would one of the Four Spirits show respect to someone from the Otherworld like himself?

"Could it be because I took Wanqing in? Or is it because of the Kunlun Mirror in my Sea of Consciousness?"

Lu Li’s thoughts raced, but none of the explanations seemed to fit.

Without time to ponder further, barely five seconds later, the ’Vermilion Bird’ let out a cry and turned into a red glow that returned to the Sea of Consciousness in Wanqing’s brow.

"Wanqing, how are you? Are you alright?"

"My lord, I’m fine... let me get up first~"

"Oh, alright."

With a ’whoosh,’ Lu Li stepped back, allowing Wanqing to straighten up.

She carefully felt around and noticed nothing amiss...

What in the world was the Vermilion Bird doing? Just a bow and then it left? Truly puzzling.

At this moment, Xiao Cha was knocking on the door from outside, yelling, "What happened?"

Worried about her barging in, Wanqing was mortified and quickly grabbed a small towel to cover her essentials, yelling,

"It’s nothing, no need for you to come over!"

"Che, as if I’m scared of catching an eye infection~"

Seeing no trouble, Xiao Cha muttered a word and walked away after returning a water jar.

Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and apologizingly said to Lu Li, "I am sorry, it was my fault for disrupting your mood..."

"No worries, just a little interlude."

Her slender and tender body hugged two big grapefruits, a sight truly unbearable to part with.

Lu Li quickly set aside his doubts and continued to relish the grapefruits.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, Wanqing rarely didn’t get up to cook.

Xiao Cha cooked some millet porridge and sliced up some sausage and pickles to place on the table.

After a while, the door opened, and a man and a woman walked out.

Lu Li led the way, with Wanqing hiding behind him, a bit shy.

Xiao Cha shouted, "Don’t be so reserved, there are no strangers here. What happened yesterday anyway?"

"Not too sure, but it was nothing serious."

Lu Li sat down at the table, briefly explained what had happened, and then started eating his bowl of millet porridge.

Xiao Cha served a bowl of porridge to Wanqing and said with a sly smile, "Did the trick I taught you work?"

Wanqing spat out and said grumpily, "Stinky Xiao Cha, I’ll never trust you again!"

"Ha ha ha~" Xiao Cha laughed for a while, but seeing that Wanqing was truly ignoring her, she circled around to playfully apologize,

"I didn’t lie to you! And be assured, that big oaf will be tender with you... He didn’t hurt you, did he?"

Wanqing turned her head away and said softly, "My husband of course cherishes me."

"Yikes~ even calling him husband..."

Xiao Cha grimaced; she couldn’t bring herself to utter such sappy words.

Quickly finishing a bowl of porridge, Xiao Cha wiped her mouth and said:

"I’ve got to head to the office; I’m being promoted to Chief Constable today~"

The Prefectural Magistrate’s office will send over the waist token and commission this morning.

It’s a great event, but all three of them reacted indifferently.

Right now, Lu Li is considering Soul Emergence, a status equivalent to a Sect Leader, or a Governor of a province.

Wanqing, needless to say, has always kept up with Lu Li’s cultivation;

Xiao Cha, despite having a hidden physical issue, with Spirit Tea Essence Oil plus "Internal Vision," a Blood Exchange is a sure thing.

Right now, not to mention a mere Chief Constable, even becoming a Prefect directly isn’t a big deal.

~~~~~~~~~~

After Xiao Cha left, Lu Li also started to get busy.

He allocated sixty percent of his Spirit among six Flying Swords, and twenty percent to the Kunlun Mirror.

Then, after smelling some Essential Oil to recover, he began to study "Military Killing Fist: Heavy Cannon Bombardment."

"Spirit entwined with inner breath, condensed to the extreme, and blasted at the target..."

This was a combination of Refining God and Martial Arts, which required the cultivation of Meditation and Marrow Cleansing to execute.

Lu Li’s Martial Arts were only at the level of Refining Internal Organs, but his Refining God was at Fetal Breath.

He had also experienced a power-boosted version at Xie Junbai’s; thus, he was confident he could simulate a similar technique~

At this moment, according to the Secret Manual, Lu Li started by drawing a drop of "inner breath" along the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian to the Shangyang acupoint on his index finger.

Then he infused a strand of Spirit into the inner breath, causing them to intertwine and compress into a tiny ball the size of a corn kernel at the fingertip.

This translucent little ball was very unstable and could burst at any moment.

Lu Li flicked his finger, launching it.

"Swoosh~ Bang~"

The explosion was weak like a Sky Rocket, but Lu Li had figured out the principle.

"It should be a punch thrown out, making it travel at supersonic speeds. This way, it carries both kinetic energy to destroy and potential energy to explode."

"But my inner breath is insufficient and my punch lacks strength, so I can only produce a weakened version."

"This technique... is quite interesting!"

Lu Li found the principle it contained very intriguing.

The explosion created by intertwining Spirit with inner breath could be used as the "propellant" for a bomb or even directly intensified on a bomb to enhance its killing power.

There were many potential applications to develop!

However, for now, the first thing to research was how to use it to kill.

Directly sending out a "wave" seemed inappropriate as this type of Spirit compression control could easily reveal one’s Fetal Breath cultivation.

"So, I need to focus on this ’explosive power.’"

"Military Killing Fist: Heavy Cannon Bombardment" was all about how to "detonate" the force, causing the maximum amount of destruction.

That being so, there’s no need to strictly send out "waves."

Lu Li walked over to a wooden post in the courtyard, paused for a moment, and casually threw a punch.

The punch looked ordinary, making no sound when it hit the post.

But 2 seconds after Lu Li had already withdrawn his hand, there was a "bang," and the wooden post exploded in two!

"Not bad, using inner breath, I can ’inject’ Spirit into the target and detonate it from the inside."

Spirit can’t act directly on the inside of a target, but inner breath can!

Lu Li had developed a technique that "transfers force into the target for an internal explosion."

Wanqing also heard the explosion.

She had just finished washing the mats and hanging them up when she came over and asked, "Husband, have you made some progress?"

"Yeah, it’s quite insidious, perfect for dealing with Chuyun people."

Lu Li wrapped his arm around the girl’s slender waist, and then his hand wandered to the pomelo.

Wanqing didn’t resist, instead blushing and simply enduring it.

Lu Li glanced at the freshly hung mats and teased,

"They’re all soaked through; I finally understand why you’re called ’Shui’er Mei’~"

"Husband, don’t tease me..."

The girl’s gentle demeanor was like water, considerate and warm, bringing a dual extreme pleasure of spirit and body.

Lu Li felt that this was his greatest gain~
