Chapter 7094
However, Charlie sensed that his spiritual energy hadn’t vanished inexplicably.
It was most likely absorbed by some mysterious entity within him,
The very entity responsible for demonstrating the hand seals with the aurora twice.
To verify his hypothesis, Charlie asked Jeremiah and Ria to try the first set of hand seals.
If their spiritual energy didn’t disappear inexplicably,
Then his hypothesis would be correct.
Meanwhile, to prevent himself from making a mistake and causing a significant loss of spiritual energy within the two women,
Charlie also prepared two Qi-Nourishing Pills.
He would use these pills to help them recover should their spiritual energy be damaged.
In short, he couldn’t let them suffer because of him.
Afterward, he completely taught them the first set of hand seals.
To avoid triggering the hand seals, he absorbs a large amount of spiritual energy from his body,
Charlie deliberately reversed the order of the hand seals,
Only telling them the correct order after they had both learned them.
The first set of hand seals consisted of eight seals,
And Charlie intentionally used the order 1234 and 8765 when teaching them.
When he completed the first four hand seals,
The golden pagoda in his sea of consciousness eagerly emerged,
Ready to absorb spiritual energy.
However, unexpectedly, Charlie’s hand seals went awry, causing the golden pagoda’s light to extinguish momentarily.
A moment later, it seemed to plunge back into his sea of consciousness with resentment and frustration.
Charlie cautiously demonstrated the eight hand seals in a scrambled order.
Finding no change in his internal spiritual energy,
He finally breathed a sigh of relief and then asked the two,
“Have you both memorized those eight hand seals?”
They both nodded simultaneously,
“Yes, we have.”
Charlie nodded and said, “Now, change the order.”
“The first four hand seals remain in the same order,”
“But the last four should be repeated in reverse order.”
The two were completely confused,
But fortunately, they trusted Charlie,
So they tacitly refrained from asking why.
Instead, they immediately rearranged the order in their minds and then performed the eight hand seals in the correct sequence.
Charlie had been observing the changes in the two women.
After completing the eight hand seals,
He didn’t notice any significant loss of spiritual energy within them.
He then asked, “Do you feel anything?”
Jeremiah shook her head: “Mr. Wade, these hand seals seem to have no effect.”
Ria echoed, “Yes, Mr. Wade, I don’t feel anything either.”
Charlie asked again, “Has there been any subtle change in your spiritual energy?”
Jeremiah replied, “No, the spiritual energy hasn’t increased or decreased.”
Charlie nodded, already having an answer in his mind.
First, the cause of all this lay within his own body.
Second, while he didn’t yet know what it was,
He was certain it wasn’t the ring Maria had given him.
As for why it showed him the hand seals,
Charlie’s doubts gradually cleared, and he formed a reasonable guess.
The first time it showed the hand seals,
It was likely to absorb his spiritual energy.
The second time, it showed the hand seals,
It seemed more like a way of repaying him for giving it so much spiritual energy.
However, people say that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude,
But this thing was doing the opposite,
Draining his spring and squeezing out a few drops in return.
Of course, Charlie understood the principle of perseverance.
This set of hand seals was actually extremely significant in the Dharma-ending Age.
If it truly had even more powerful effects later on,
Then it would truly be a blessing in disguise!
Thinking of this, Charlie’s unease about the unknown lessened considerably.
He smiled and said to the two, “Since this set of hand seals does not affect you,”
“Then don’t worry about it.”
“Focus on practicing the second set of hand seals you learned last night!”
