Chapter 469 - 284: The Silent Master of You Huang Country
The key lies in the process of absorbing Qi. It’s akin to a dog chasing its master. For those without potential, no amount of chasing will be of use. On the other hand, those with the potential for cultivation need to put in some effort.
Even highly gifted cultivators have to “chase” at this step. Nevertheless, with just a casual attempt, they could immediately attract the Heaven and Earth’s Qi into their bodies.
Yet, when it came to Feng Qing’an, it was as if he had stepped into an ancient civilization. He merely hinted at his intention of cultivating by slightly pulling down his collar, and immediately, the surrounding spiritual energy surged towards him like mad.
This spiritual energy was as if it belonged to a group of women who had long been neglected, suddenly meeting a robust and heroic man. They put aside all their dignity and rushed towards him desperately, as if they would lose all chances if they missed this opportunity.
“Hiss~”
Faced with such turbulent spiritual energy, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but flinch due to a feeling of mild swelling and tearing from his meridians.
For Feng Qing’an, this was an utterly new and strange experience. He hadn’t expected that his practice could trigger such a response.
“Slow down!”
“Gentler—ouch, it hurts a little!”
Even when he fully activated the “Six Yin Netherworld Immortal Scripture” and refined all the energy coming into his body, the overly active Heaven and Earth Elements around him were so eager and passionate—almost to the point of desperation—that Feng Qing’an couldn’t handle them and had to rely on his unique traits.
Physical characteristic: Yuan Spirit
But this time, when Feng Qing’an used his Yuan Spirit characteristic, he didn’t need it to attract the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. What he needed was this unique body attribute to resist the spiritual energy that was nearly solidifying into a thin layer of spirit crystal on his body surface.
You shouldn’t be this eager! Wait a second, line up, go slow, everyone will have their turn.
Feng Qing’an tried to convey this idea to the surrounding spiritual energy. Still, it was to no avail. The chaotic energy even formed a visible storm around him.
Feng Qing’an unexpectedly had to retreat from the sky and find a quiet mountaintop to escape. But the overwhelming spiritual energy, like a raging dragon, refused to let him go.
“Ah, there’s no other way!”
Looking at the spiritual energy swirling around him, acting as if it had its own will, extremely eager to be satisfied, Feng Qing’an let out a helpless sigh.
“Then, let’s all get in!”
Boom boom——
The imminent spiritual storm finally took shape. Countless spiritual energy rushed from all directions, forming a whirlpool of spirit energy visible to the naked eye with a crystal glow shining in it.
It was such an incredible view that even any righteous people would exclaim in disbelief if they saw it.
Even Human Immortal cultivators may not have such an imposing experience. But this was just a novice cultivator just stepping on the path.
“All these cultivation experiences are of no reference value at all!”
Feng Qing’an was refining the incoming spiritual energy according to the “Six Yin Netherworld Immortal Scripture”, but this spectacle, which even a Human Immortal would envy, made this young man frown and sigh continuously.
Because this was completely different from the cultivation experience he received, whether it was the step of absorbing and introducing Qi into the body, purifying existing impurities within the spiritual energy, or even the final step of transforming spiritual energy into True Qi, everything was different.
According to the memory of the small sect’s master, who was highly proud of his talents, it took him a quarter and a half more to practice absorbing Qi, and because of his initial inexperience, it took him a whole month to cultivate the first True Qi of “Six Yin Netherworld Immortal Qi”.
This made him the best in the sect. Even looking back at decades of history, such speed crowned him the best over the past 300 years because it was incredibly fast.
For cultivators with slightly mediocre talents, it would take years to cultivate the first True Qi. As for those with poorer talents, even if they spend their entire lives, they might not be able to cultivate ten True Qi.
However, all the problems and obstacles that the young sect leader faced were completely different when it came to Feng Qing’an. He had already thought about how to handle these problems, but they never appeared.
Take the step of refining spiritual energy as an example. If we continue with the analogy of a dog chasing its master, even if the dog succeeds in chasing its master, and attracts the Heaven and Earth’s Qi into its body, the process of refining and taming it often involves “deception”. It may even come at a severe price.
Because even the chosen pure spiritual energy is still incredibly violent compared to a novice Human Race cultivator’s body, and any carelessness can lead to a nasty end of broken meridians.
The young sect leader, who prided himself as the “Ghost Path’s Chosen One”, needed to use all his strength and energy to successfully refine and condense the first True Qi, and for Feng Qing’an, it was a different experience altogether.
