Chapter 45 Formless Donations

“Do you think anyone of us looks like an immortal?” I couldn’t help but retort, “Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and tell us. Otherwise, we’ll go back and leave you alone here.”

“Don’t do it, bros, please help me for the sake that I helped Zhou Yuan,” Long Fei hurriedly pulled us down. “The mana of gods and immortals exists because of the faith and donations people give to us. You know that right?”

“Mm, yes, I do.” I nodded.

“But faith and donations cannot produce mana as they are created.” Long Fei explained to us. “These donations first fill in a concrete idol or statue that people worship. After that, the meaning represented by these statues will gradually become pure and tangible, and then become the mana of immortals. As for those that have not become mana are still located inside the statues. Because they are invisible and intangible, they are known as Formless Donations. Each statue can hold an extremely large amount of them, but only a small percent of them can transform into mana, usually less than one percent. Only those great gods who receive a lot of donations have sufficient amount of Formless Donations to cultivate mana. ”

“About the Immortal Tying Rope, I fill it with Formless Donations which I originally planed to cultivate into my mana. Even so, I had been filling it for more than three years before I managed to get one.” Long Fei said in a pity. “It’s a pity that it was taken away from me the first time I used it, and it somehow exploded. If I made another one in the same way as before, I will wait at least three years before master Zhang Quan will help me plead for Avalokiteshvara, which sounds worse than death.”

Long Fei had a bitter face. I knew that it would truly be worse than death if he had to listen to Zhang Chi Hang’s endless “enlightenment” for three years.

“You made it too complicated. My understanding is —” Liu Shuai thought for a moment, then expressed his opinion. “A statue is like a charge pal, and your mana is like a cellphone. You need this charge pal to charge it. People’s faith and donations are sources of electricity. A charge pal cannot charge a phone unless it is fully charged itself. You do not have many donations, so you cannot charge your phone fast, which means you cannot make a real Immortal Tying Rope. Am I correct?”

“Err …” I looked at Liu Shuai. A programmer’s thoughts were clearly different from others, but I had to admit that his analogy was very appropriate. Long Fei was startled for a moment, then nodded his head strongly, which gave me a signal that Liu Shuai’s guess was correct.

“In that case, what’s the use of the two of us? We don’t seem to be able to help at all. ” I thought about it and wondered what it had to do with us.

Long Fei rubbed his hands in embarrassment, “I know you have a special ability called ‘Borrow Me Your Mana’.”

“Damn!” I suddenly felt as if everyone knew my secret. “Who told you that? Forget it, I don’t want to guess anymore. It’s not surprising that the two people you know would tell you about it, but the thing is I can only borrow a limited amount of mama, not the Formless Donations in the statue. ”

“No need,” Long Fei said as he took out a book from his pocket, “You only need to borrow a miraculous skill from this book and then transfer the Formless Donations from the statue into Immortal Tying Rope.”

Liu Shuai took the book, and once I saw the title, I immediately understood what Long Fei meant by a miraculous skill. It was called “Stellar Transposition Technique”.

“Return the strength in the same way back to opponent?” Liu Shuai immediately reacted, his face was filled with disbelief. “Li Long Fei, are you serious?”

“Of course.” Li Long Fei said with a serious face, “Through my mana, Hao Ning is able to use Stellar Transposition Technique to transfer the Formless Donations from the statue to Immortal Tying Rope. It should be fast for us to get a new Immortal Tying Rope.”

“You only need Hao Ning,” Liu Shuai still had a questioning face. “Why did you call me over?”

“Um, hehe, actually you are useless,” Long Fei laughed embarrassedly when he heard Liu Shuai’s question, “It’s just that master Zhang Quan asked me to take care of you. Last night I saw that there seemed to be something wrong your——” Long Fei pointed at his own forehead, “I was afraid that something would happen to you if I brought Hao Ning and left you alone, so I pulled you over as well that I would be able to take care of both of you.”

“…” Liu Shuai was immediately furious. I sighed in my heart. Although Li Long Fei was a chatterbox, he was really considerate, but seeing Liu Shuai’s speechless look, I comforted him in the end, “After all, he was entrusted by Zhang Quan, so you are very important to him.”

I pronounced the word “him” loudly. Liu Shuai understood what I meant and nodded.

“So what’s the plan? Shall we go now?” Seeing that Liu Shuai had cleared his mind, I said to Long Fei, “Finish it quickly. We still need to go back and eat.”

Liu Shuai looked at his phone. It was already late, so I nodded to indicate that we should return early.

“Don’t push,” Long Fei waved his hand. “Let’s go in and hide first. We’ll wait for the people here to get off work. Once the door is closed, we’ll take it, otherwise there may be chaos.”

“What?!” Liu Shuai and I shouted, “Is it really necessary?”

“Shh…” Seeing that our voices were too loud, Long Fei hurriedly made a low gesture. I couldn’t help but be speechless. What an immortal from the temple! He was obviously a thief who came to steal things.

“God Zhang Chi Hang told me to keep a low profile,” Li Long Fei said. “Otherwise it would be hard to dispel the cause and effect, and there would be a lot of troubles in the future.”

“Cause and effect?” While thinking about Zhang Chi Hang, I followed Li Long Fei into the Dragon King’s Temple.

Strangely, although there was a lot of noises outside, and the factory was in a state of chaos, the moment I stepped into the temple, it was as if I could no longer hear any noise outside. The temple was not big, and there were statues of gods everywhere. Apart from us there were only two girls in the temple who walked in front of us and spoke softly, and since the temple was very quiet, I could clearly hear what they were talking.

“Did your sister really let you return the favor?” One of the girls asked, “It should not be that holy. Don’t be superstitious.”

“Shh, we should respect gods as if they are here. Watch your month.” The other girl said seriously. “My sister had children after she came here. Two days before the birth, my brother-in-law had a strange dream, in which the Dragon King said to him, ‘Well, I was expecting your child to marry mine, but I only have a daughter. What can we do about that?'”

“What do you mean?” The girl who spoke first didn’t understand.

“Are you stupid? The Dragon King said that he only has one daughter, and that she could not marry my sister’s child. Two days later, my sister gave birth, which made her husband stunned.” The other girl mysteriously said, “Guess what, it’s a boy and girl twin!”

“So holy? Then we should pay our respect!”
