Chapter 46 The Technique of Splitting Light and Transforming Shadows, and the Unexpected Report
Especially in the area of alchemy,
This isn't cultivation; it's practically metallurgy and chemical engineering!
It's simply impossible to raise the funds in the short term.
Continuing to fight to the bitter end is a waste of time.
"I need to change my approach! I can't let myself get stuck on something I can't handle."
Since the path of using sword pellets is not feasible for the time being...
Let's see if there are any other examples in the Taoist scriptures.
The spells available under the current conditions.
Signs of spiritual energy revival have appeared.
More methods mean more protection.
Let's flip through some Taoist books!
Bai Sheng folded a corner of the pages about the One Qi Righteous Yang Sword and continued flipping through them.
He hadn't completely given up on the matter of the sword pellet, but had only temporarily put it on hold.
I'll visit the scrap metal recycling station in the west of the city sometime.
Or a metal processing plant in an industrial area.
Maybe we can gather all the essential gold?
It's a waste of time to obsess over this stuff now.
Time is more expensive than materials!
After turning a few more pages,
I've looked at many methods for protecting the Dao, but I'm not quite satisfied with any of them.
I still hope the entry requirements are lower.
Not relying on those strange and unusual external things,
Don't consume too much energy.
After all, he's only at the first level of Qi Condensation Technique.
His foundation in true essence is not very strong.
Ideally, it should be practical, usable in emergencies, and able to help with miscellaneous tasks...
Under a text called "Butcher Ding Carving Up an Ox",
A new hidden annotation has appeared.
This is a spell called the "Splitting Light and Shadow Technique".
This spell is not long.
"Using innate true essence as a guide, one can condense qi and transform it into form, thus creating a separate figure that is identical to the original body."
This image has form but no substance; it can be felt and seen, but ordinary people cannot distinguish its truth from falsehood.
A tangible yet intangible clone!
It doesn't even need any external objects.
All that's needed is true essence.
Moreover, it doesn't seem to consume much true energy?
Bai Sheng did not particularly pursue methods of killing.
Even now, it is still a society governed by the rule of law.
Killing techniques are relatively useless methods.
In some situations,
A decoy that can fool people is more useful than sword energy!
Bai Sheng looked down more closely.
Spectrophotometry has two differentiation modes.
Close differentiation,
It allows you to create clones to fight alongside you and confuse your opponents.
"Good, good, good, this is the art of creating clones!"
Upon seeing this, Bai Sheng couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
By then,
The clone and the main body attacked simultaneously, forming a coordinated attack.
A pincer attack...
"Ugh! Why do I keep thinking about these distracting things!" Bai Sheng shook his head.
Calm your mind,
I dare not think about those blood-pumping things anymore.
The second differentiation pattern,
Divergence in the distance
It can create clones anywhere within a hundred-mile radius.
Using mind control as bait
"This is quite practical."
The book describes two different differentiation patterns.
But looking at it this way,
It seems that the former is just a youthful version of the latter.
It is also clearly written in the "Primordial Dao Book".
The first version of the differentiation model was relatively easy to learn.
"If we're going to practice, we'll definitely practice the second one!"
……
Bai Sheng locked himself in the living room and spent the whole morning studying the art of light and shadow splitting.
The formula isn't long.
However, the details of each step are quite complicated.
such as,
How can one separate a wisp of true essence from the dantian and maintain its circulation independently?
How can one use their mind to give this wisp of true essence a human-shaped outline?
And how to stabilize this outline and prevent it from crumbling...
Like a complex mathematical calculation problem.
The overall idea is not difficult.
The difficulty lies in mastering the operation!
Bai Sheng tried to condense it for the first time.
True essence emanated from his fingers.
It coalesced into a blurry golden mist in mid-air.
as predicted,
It shook twice and then fell apart.
It hasn't even taken human form yet...
The second time, Bai Sheng poured in 20% more of his true essence.
In addition, there are extreme maneuvers.
A golden cloud of mist streaked across the sky.
It barely managed to draw out a human-like outline!
boom!
The fog dissipated, revealing a person.
This person... can barely be identified as a human being.
It just has a few minor flaws.
One arm is longer than the other.
His head was tilted to his left shoulder.
The facial features were completely blurred.
Like a piece of clay that's been kneaded and rubbed raw...
He stared at the failed product for a few seconds.
I think if I put this thing at the door at night,
I reckon passersby would be so scared they'd jump off the fifth floor.
I plan to try a third time.
My phone vibrated on the coffee table.
Bai Sheng picked it up and saw it was a WeChat message from his counselor.
[Bai Sheng has recently had absences from multiple courses.]
[Some students have reported that you have been absent for several days in a row. Please come to the department office at 3 PM tomorrow to explain the situation.]
"Holy shit!"
Bai Sheng stared at the screen for half a second, then couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses.
Who would report this for no reason?
He usually doesn't have a high profile in class.
Skipping class also involved paying someone to sign in for you.
Logically speaking, no one should be watching him!
Am I the only one skipping classes in the entire university?
Why are you fixated on your classmates?
No one can judge me!
but,
Bai Sheng himself didn't take this matter to heart.
The counselor's talk was nothing more than a few words of criticism.
At worst, I can just get a few more sick leave slips.
Moreover, given the future trend of spiritual energy revival,
There are also people who get hung up on trivial matters like others skipping class...
Bai Sheng just found it funny.
He replied, "Okay, teacher."
I tossed my phone onto the coffee table and continued studying the spectroscopic technique.
I stayed up all night.
There were more than a dozen takeout boxes and empty mineral water bottles piled on the coffee table.
Fat Orange got up in the middle of the night to take a look around, staring at him for a while on the sofa armrest.
They probably thought the way this person was gesturing at thin air was too crazy.
I yawned and went back to sleep.
Bai Sheng lay down on the bed, breathing heavily.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Nowadays,
There are at least a dozen failed attempts.
Crooked melons and cracked dates, missing limbs or other deformities.
act like a buffoon!
Of course,
It wasn't a complete failure.
Bai Sheng discovered that he was quite talented in maintaining his clone form.
Although the clone's appearance is terrible and its presentation is awful,
but,
There has never been a case where the clone suddenly collapsed.
A thought couldn't help but pop into Bai Sheng's mind:
"Should I skip going to school to see the counselor this afternoon and send my doppelganger instead?"
"Of course, at the very least, he has to look like a human being."
Bai Sheng retracted the collapsed true energy into his dantian and regulated his breathing for a moment.
It's too mentally taxing to keep outlining the clone's shape with my mind.
It's like a character customization game.
Each time a clone is reassembled, its appearance must be redesigned.
Bai Sheng kept making adjustments.
Repeatedly fine-tuning the details of the facial features and limbs.
After trying more than ten times,
In front of the coffee table,
Finally, a usable clone has appeared.
His facial features are generally well-proportioned, and his eyebrows and eyes resemble his own to about 70-80%.
The arms were the same length, and the legs were not crooked.
The only one that doesn't seem quite right,
He was naked.
There is no way.
The body formed from true essence cannot replicate clothing.
Bai Sheng found one of his own T-shirts and jeans and put it on the dog.
I found another pair of old canvas shoes.
The clone stood in front of the full-length mirror next to the TV and spun around.
Bai Sheng stood next to the clone and compared them.
At first glance, there is no difference.
However, upon closer inspection, flaws in the details can still be found.
For example, he himself has double eyelids, but his clone has single eyelids.
Also, his chin is slightly shorter than he actually is.
Fortunately, it's fine as long as you don't stare at it.
Normal social distancing can easily cover it up.
Not to mention counselors,
Normally, I might not even get to interact with students once a semester.
They probably can't remember what their students look like, can they?
Bai Shengrang's clone walked around the living room twice.
His gait started to become a little stiff.
After about ten minutes of breaking in,
They can basically swing their arms and take steps naturally.
She can sit down and stand up without any problem, and can get her own water cup.
Nodding or shaking one's head is normal.
He tried to speak.
After several attempts, we managed to get a decent rhythm.
However, his tone was too flat; he spoke as if reciting a text.
We need to adjust it again!
Bai Sheng spent another hour or so repeatedly working on the coordination of his clone's limbs and facial expressions.
Until the clone could sit down naturally on the sofa, cross its legs, and scroll through its phone for a bit,
Only then did I withdraw my true essence and let it dissipate.
I lay down on the sofa and took a two-hour nap.
At 2:30 pm,
Bai Sheng reassembled his clone.
Dress the clone.
"Go ahead, now it's up to you to see how you do."
"If you're doing well, I'll have you cover my classes from now on!"
Clone: "..."
He patted his clone on the shoulder and told it to go outside.
He slumped on the sofa and picked up his phone.
I opened the food delivery app and started looking for lunch.
