"It feels almost the same as before..."
Su Yan curled up in bed. When he raised his hand, the black dragon's water control power and water transformation were activated at the same time. At the edge of the frozen river outside the window, water droplets densely oozed out along the wall and entered Su Yan's bedroom. , condensed into small translucent water figures in twos and threes.
A sneeze blew out the tail, and Su Yan entered the foundation building stage with an innocent look on his face. In the dormitory, he shook his butt in front of the bronze mirror for a long time to observe the tail. After making a fool of himself, Su Yan began to check other new abilities.
After a monk enters the foundation building stage, the biggest difference compared to before is that he has an additional ability called 'spiritual awareness'.
Based on the generation of the power of spiritual consciousness, monks can more easily control the spiritual power gained through hard training, such as casting spells or refining magic weapons that are connected to spirit and flesh, and even arranging formations can only be performed with the assistance of spiritual consciousness.
If a monk does not have spiritual awareness, it is actually very dangerous to use spells to fend off enemies at will, because you have no idea what will happen after the spell is cast.
Whether to kill the enemy or yourself is unknown.
Su Yan's ability to control water is an innate magical power, an ability inherited from his parents' bloodline. This is also the reason why he can practice the 'Forest and Wilderness: Transformation' spell.
Normally, during the Qi refining stage, a water monk can only squirt the water column. When he actually encounters an enemy, it is not as satisfying as slashing him with a knife. It is impossible for him to be able to condense a water man who knows martial arts like Su Yan.
Therefore, after Su Yan entered the foundation building stage, he felt the same as before. The biggest change was probably that in the past, he could only condense three phantoms of water even if he used all his strength to suck milk and vomited the milk, but now that After cultivating in the foundation-building stage, Su Yan could easily condense six or seven water phantoms when his health was full.
Su Yan has not tested the limit, but judging from the consumption of spiritual power in his body, his limit should be around fourteen or five when performing the transformation at full state.
Because he was in the dormitory, Su Yan didn't want to fill his dormitory with water, so he didn't have the power to use the water phantom to make them fight each other.
"Are you up? My aunt asked you to go out."
Just when Su Yan was curled up in bed and playing in the water, there was a knock on the door. Nanwu opened the bedroom door and ran in with great interest. He asked Su Yan if he had woken up and was preparing to go out later. .
Samenan Kiri especially likes to walk in the downtown area. Unfortunately, the weather has been unfavorable and it has been snowing recently. No one in Goulan has the intention to go out. Even the monkeys bought two or three days' worth of ingredients at a time. Nothing happened. Try not to go out as much as possible.
She was very happy to be able to go for a walk today, and she didn't even ask Su Yan if he was mature as usual.
"coming......."
Su Yan opened the quilt and stretched out his upper body. In his human form, there was no protection from fur. When the cold wind blew outside the window, Su Yan's black lines on his face retracted into the quilt. He simply wrapped himself in the quilt and got off the bed: "... ....It’s a little cold.”
"Is the temperature okay?"
Samean Kiri's clothes are still thin, and the collar can't completely cover her white collarbone. Compared with before, there is an extra breast cap on the clothes. Other than that, the change of clothes is completely the same as the previous autumn clothes:
"How about you reveal your true form and I hold you, my body temperature will definitely be much higher than it is now."
"Uh... I don't need it for the time being. I just got up and haven't gotten used to the temperature for a while."
Sister Nanwu... I don't dislike your embrace, but I am worried that you will suddenly become animalistic and grab my twin tails and ride on the battlefield with a whip to warm me up.
………………
The sub-zero temperature in winter is actually not bad. After all, the monks have all gone through the physical training period where the skin and flesh are broken, but the hook rail is a building built along the river. When the river is frozen but still flowing, it will take away the heat in the room.
After the ice formed, the cold air rose and hit the fence directly. For Su Yan, who had never seen snow before, it completely broke his imagination of winter and experienced the cold winter for the first time.
Su Yan was wearing a long coat with his hands shivering in his sleeves and came to the fourth floor. He immediately closed the window that had been open all year round to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.
My aunt smiled and shook her head: "It's not the coldest period yet, so why should you wrap yourself up so tightly?"
"This is the first time I have experienced a cold winter this year. I used to experience mild winters when I lived in southern states. As soon as the weather gets cold, my mother will pick up a dip net to capture some heaters and bring them back."
When she lived in the southern state, when the temperature cooled down, Su Qing was worried that her cubs would catch cold. She picked up a net and pestle and waved it at the door of the Su Mansion. She salvaged the fire-sign female nuns and placed them in her home with food and shelter, and asked them to light fires at regular intervals. Raise the indoor temperature and maintain a constant temperature.
Su Yan asked his mother why she didn't light a charcoal fire and wanted to capture the monks and use them as a heater.
Su's mother smiled and touched Su Yan's head and said, "The charcoal fire heats up unevenly and has a strong smell, which is not good for the cubs and may cause asthma. Moreover, my father works hard outside all day and night to make money. Naturally, we two have to live a better life." day."
Although... Su Yan had never seen his mother give any money, but the monks who were fished out were indeed provided with food and accommodation.
"Copying the net...?"
The aunt was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It is indeed in line with your mother's style. After so many years, she is still so unstable and has a young lady's temper..."
Su Qing is not a stable person, and she is also quite adventurous and naughty. She used a net to fish out monks from the streets and brought them back to work as laborers. My aunt really believed that Su Qing could do it...
After all...foxes are really quick-tempered.
"By the way, auntie...please see if you have any plans to renovate the hook fence recently. I have some small sponsorships and ideas..."
Su Yan sat next to her aunt, hugged her arm and tried to persuade her to install floor heating on the hook rail.
Floor heating is not a mysterious magic. Things like some kangs also exist. Of course, Su Yan doesn't like those kangs for heating, because... foxes are a member of the canine family, and their sense of smell is relatively developed and sensitive, and the charcoal fire burns Easy to smell.
Su Yan planned to install water heating on Goulan, because there was a large amount of natural gas underground in Xia Yu, and wealthy people could use the gas at will by paying a fire well fee to the court.
The hook fence is an all-wooden structure. You only need to arrange for craftsmen to short-circuit the pipes, and then make something like a water wheel to continuously circulate the heated water to maintain a higher temperature in the hook fence. In this way, Su Yan does not need to You don’t have to be afraid of the cold winter when you reveal your real body.
"And once the Goulan is warm, Mrs. Xia Yu no longer needs to continue to warm the brazier at home, tossing themselves with cold and hot at the same time. Our business will be better, right?"
"My idea is absolutely great, and it won't smell like explosions or burning ashes like a fire kang." Su Yan promised confidently.
"But...those ladies usually use the body of a maid to keep warm in the winter, and holding a fox in their arms to warm their hands and belly does not make them burn charcoal to keep warm like you said. My chest is hot and my back is cold.”
The aunt smiled and made fun of the phenomenon Su Yan said. The life of Xia Yu's nobles was much better than what they imagined. Some ladies who were afraid of the cold had gone to the western or southern states to avoid the cold long before it started to snow, and it was not cold enough for them.
"Well......"
Su Yan looked surprised: "Can you still play like this? How can you use a maid to keep warm?"
"Well... this is too vulgar. It's not convenient for my aunt to show it to you, so you can use your imagination."
