Chapter 12: Qi

Liu Yuanchen was stunned. It was hard to tell the gender of this ginseng doll.

But he thought about it again. Ginseng spirit plants seemed to be hermaphroditic, so father and mother should be the same thing.

It was just that the meaning expressed by his spiritual fluctuations was indeed mother in Liu Yuanchen's understanding.

He lifted the ginseng doll and looked at it. There was nothing under the crotch. It was indeed hard to tell the gender.

Liu Yuanchen sent a telepathic message again: "I am not your mother."

Hearing this, the ginseng doll actually started crying.

As a single dog in two lives, Liu Yuanchen really had no experience in coaxing a baby.

He could only send a telepathic message to comfort: "Call me father, it means the same as mother."

The ginseng doll was very confused and didn't understand what he meant.

In the world of ginseng dolls, mother and father are one.

However, he didn't cry anymore.

Regardless of whether he could understand or not, Liu Yuanchen had to correct him.

After all, the legendary ginseng doll was very intelligent.

After learning, it was no problem for him to speak human language.

If he was not corrected now, it would be very embarrassing in the future.

"Since you have intelligence and can run and jump, you must have a name.

Your body is Baiyu Shen, so I'll call you Xiaoyu."

With a name, Baiyu Shen showed joy on his face.

Afterwards, Liu Yuanchen began to teach him to speak patiently.

Of course, the most important thing is to teach him to work.

Xiaoyu is too small to harvest spiritual plants for the time being.

However, he can still do the work of loosening the soil and watering.

There will be no insect pests in the blessed land. As for diseases, these spiritual plants are full of vitality and isolated from the outside world, so it is difficult for them to get sick.

Although Xiaoyu is only one foot tall, his intelligence is not low, comparable to that of a five or six-year-old child.

He remembers what he is taught quickly.

In just a few hours, he can already have a simple conversation.

As for work, loosening the soil is also learned once taught.

After all, the ginseng doll is born to burrow underground. As long as it burrows shallowly, it can completely achieve the purpose of loosening the soil.

Watering is a bit strenuous.

After all, he was too small to mess with any container.

However, Liu Yuanchen made full use of his underground escape method.

He let him escape close to the ground, leaving a small ditch more than an inch wide wherever he passed.

Connecting these small ditches to the springs can draw spring water.

Xiaoyu's mentality is also equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old child, and he had a lot of fun.

There was not much space in the blessed land. In less than a quarter of an hour, there was a small ditch next to each spiritual plant.

The spring water in the spring can directly irrigate each spiritual plant.

Seeing Xiaoyu so capable, Liu Yuanchen was very pleased.

As for hiring child labor, that is absolutely impossible.

Before Xiaoyu was born with spiritual intelligence, he could grow to the first-level middle grade by himself, and was still nurturing his soul.

Without hundreds of years of accumulation, it would be impossible to grow to this point.

His age is at least ten times that of Liu Yuanchen. What kind of child labor is he?

After training Xiaoyu into an excellent worker, he no longer cared about him.

Xiaoyu had just transformed into a human and could walk around freely, so he couldn't stay idle and ran around in the blessed land.

He didn't dare to go past the ginseng fruit sapling.

He had to bow and bend over when passing by.

Liu Yuanchen felt a little curious: "Xiaoyu, why did you salute the sapling?"

Xiaoyu pondered for a moment before answering: "It has the same aura as your father, and I feel it is very powerful.

If I disrespect it, I will return to the state of not knowing anything before."

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen thought to himself: "It seems that the ginseng fruit sapling has a suppressive effect on the enlightened wood spirit.

It can even deprive the wood spirit of its spirituality and turn it back into an ordinary spiritual plant."

He looked at the ginseng fruit sapling carefully and found that after the white jade ginseng was enlightened, the leaves of the sapling looked dull.

At this moment, another stream of magic power poured into the sea of ​​consciousness.

I hadn't noticed before that the magic power fed back was less.

It had been upgraded to one-ninth of a low-grade spirit stone, but now it has dropped to one-tenth.

It seems that the enlightenment of white jade ginseng will indeed consume the power of the ginseng fruit seedling.

I just don't know if this loss can be restored.

Originally, he planned to leave after teaching Xiaoyu to take care of the spiritual field.

Now that the ginseng fruit seedling is damaged, it is better to observe for two days.

With nothing to do, he simply continued to condense the seeds of Gangqi.

A fist-sized ball of Qi and blood power was attracted and merged into the Guanyuan acupoint.

With the divine consciousness as the guide, the magic power as the hammer and anvil, the Qi and blood power was forged.

What surprised Liu Yuanchen was that the effect of forging the Qi and blood power this time was surprisingly good.

It only took a quarter of an hour to forge the Qi and blood into a ball the size of a longan.

He used his divine consciousness to carefully explore the lower Dantian and found that he was not wrong, there was really a second ball of Qi and blood.

It took two full hours to forge the same amount of Qi and blood in Yujin Mountain before to achieve the same effect.

This time, it only took a quarter of an hour, and the speed increased by more than ten times.

"The blessed land is rich in spiritual energy, but the mana consumed in tempering qi and blood is not much.

Perhaps, there is a special relationship between the blessed land and the physical body.

With my limited knowledge, I probably can't figure it out.

Regardless of the reason, it's not a bad thing to be able to practice faster."

"Since the speed of practicing Qi and Blood Condensation Technique in the blessed land is much faster, then just do it in one go and condense the Qi seeds.

There is nothing valuable in Yujin Mountain. If you stay here for a few more days, nothing serious will happen."

The spiritual fields in Yujin Mountain can only be planted once a year. The spiritual grains of the previous season were harvested not long ago, and the next season of spiritual grains can only be planted at least half a year later.

In the entire spiritual fields of Yujin Mountain, there are only some spiritual medicines that he planted with public tools for private use.

Now they are still seedlings and are not worth anything at all.

At this time of year, what needs to be prevented is only the soil in the spiritual fields that are stolen by casual cultivators.

In the Red Wasteland, the soil containing spiritual energy can be sold directly.

Using such soil as the foundation to open up spiritual fields can make ordinary fields become spiritual fields faster.

However, Liu Yuanchen doesn't care much about this.

The top leaders in the sect have long planned to give up Yujin Mountain. As long as enough spiritual grains can be produced, the top leaders will not care about the spiritual fields at all.

Even if the output of spiritual grain is not enough, at most, it will be less spiritual stones, which is no big deal.

Then, Liu Yuanchen moved the blood and qi into the lower dantian again.

Three days later, there were already sixty groups of blood and qi the size of longan in his lower dantian.

If it weren't for the guiding technique, he would have died of blood and qi exhaustion.

Even so, all the bigu pills were used up.

Liu Yuanchen sighed: "This blood and qi condensation technique really consumes resources. If I didn't know how to refine pills, I wouldn't dare to practice this thing even if I had a blessed land and a technique to support it."

"Fortunately, sixty groups of blood and qi have been forged, and I can already condense the seeds of qi and qi, and I don't need to consume blood and qi."

Sitting cross-legged, he introduced the mana into the lower dantian.

Under the guidance of the divine consciousness, the mana wrapped up all the sixty groups of blood and qi.

Then, the mana gradually reduced the space and squeezed the blood and qi.

Soon, the sixty groups of blood and qi began to slowly merge.

After an hour, the sixty groups of blood and qi merged into one, turning into a fist-sized group.

The next step was to repeat the previous method, control the magic power with the spirit consciousness, and forge this ball of blood and qi.

It took a whole day to forge the blood and qi ball into the size of a soybean.

At this time, the blood and qi ball was like a piece of blood jade, emitting a strange light.

Liu Yuanchen continued to transform the blood jade according to the records of the secret technique.

Two days later, there was no change on the surface of the blood jade, and it was still a piece of blood jade the size of a soybean.

But inside it, there had been earth-shaking changes.

Liu Yuanchen operated the secret technique, and a wisp of blood and qi flowed into the lower dantian and approached the Gangqi seed.

As soon as these blood and qi touched the Gangqi seed, they were completely absorbed.

Then, a dark red energy slowly flowed out of the Gangqi seed.

This energy is somewhat similar to the power of blood and qi, but it is much more condensed than blood and qi, and it should be Gangqi.

Liu Yuanchen wanted to try the power of Gangqi, but unfortunately there was nothing in the blessed land that could serve as a target, so he could only try it outside.

After staying here for seven days, it was time to leave.

He sensed the mana fed back by the ginseng fruit sapling and found that it had increased again.

Every hundred breaths, the mana fed back was equivalent to one-ninth of a low-grade spirit stone.

Moreover, the leaves of the sapling had become shiny again.

Obviously, the price paid for enlightening Xiaoyu before has almost recovered at this time.

Liu Yuanchen was finally relieved. The ginseng fruit tree is the foundation of the future path.

If there is a problem, even if there are more wood spirits, it cannot be compensated.

Now that the ginseng fruit tree has recovered, it means that the price paid for enlightening the spiritual plant can be slowly recovered.

These days, he has been practicing with all his heart and has not paid much attention to Xiaoyu.

The little guy is quite obedient. After finishing the work of loosening the soil and watering, he imitated Liu Yuanchen and meditated and practiced on the side.

Although I don’t know what kind of skills he is practicing, he is indeed absorbing spiritual energy.

Liu Yuanchen patted his head: "Little guy, I'm going out for a while, you take good care of the spiritual field here."

During the period of practicing the secret technique, Liu Yuanchen would also teach him to speak when he was resting.

It has to be said that the ginseng doll is really unique among the wood spirits.

In just a few days, Xiaoyu can already communicate normally with people.

He was a little confused: "Going out, are you going to the place where I used to live?"

Liu Yuanchen nodded: "Yes, I have something else to do outside."

Xiaoyu showed a look of fear on her face: "Father, be careful, it's dangerous outside.

When I just had my memory, there was a weird guy who wanted to eat me.

Later, there was a group of guys walking on four legs who also wanted to eat me."

Liu Yuanchen was a little surprised: "Do you remember what happened before the birth of spiritual intelligence?"

Xiaoyu nodded slightly: "I don't remember it very clearly, but I still have some impressions."

How did the grass and trees preserve their memories without a soul? Liu Yuanchen didn't know.

However, there was no need to delve into this matter.

When night fell, Liu Yuanchen left Qingshi Mountain again and returned to Yujin Mountain.

He did not return to the cave, but went directly to the back mountain and found a pine tree that one person could hug.

This tree is just an ordinary grass and has not become a spiritual plant.

However, the iron pine wood is hard and is particularly suitable as a target.

He first wrapped his fist with magic power and punched the tree trunk with a straight punch.

The whole tree shook a few times, and leaves fell from the tree.

On the trunk, a fist mark one inch deep appeared.

Without the strength of a thousand pounds, it would be impossible to make such a deep punch mark.

Then, he drew Gang Qi from his lower dantian and wrapped it around his fist.

A punch was thrown out violently, causing the tree to shake violently, and once again many leaves fell, including some dead branches.

A fist mark also appeared on the tree trunk again, but this time the mark was deeper, two inches deep.

He could confirm that the force he used to attack the tree trunk twice was almost the same, and the killing effect was doubled.

Seeing this result, Liu Yuanchen was extremely shocked: "I didn't expect that the destructive power of Gang Qi is so much stronger than magic power.

The Gang Qi has just been condensed, and before the muscles and bones have been tempered, it already has such power.

When the tempering of muscles and bones is completed, the power will be increased a bit. "

"It's a pity that there are no spells that match the Gang Qi. Wrapping the fist with Gang Qi is the most superficial method.

If there were spells that specifically used Gang Qi, the lethality would be increased even more. "

Liu Yuanchen tried again, integrating Qi and mana into his muscles to test the effect on improving strength.

After a while, there were two more fist marks on the iron pine tree.

Among them, the fist mark made with magic power is more than two inches deep.

The depth of the other fist mark has reached five inches.

Liu Yuanchen marveled in his heart: "The strength of the physical body enhanced by Gang Qi is actually so much stronger than magic power."

Then, he activated Gang Qi to circulate in his body.

Soon he was surprised to find that the circulation of Gang Qi did not require the consumption of spiritual consciousness.

As long as the mind moves, the Gangqi will move with the mind.

But mana is different. Whether it is inducing mana to flow in the meridians during cultivation, or drawing mana out when casting spells, it requires the participation of spiritual consciousness.

The operation of Gang Qi does not require spiritual consciousness, and the speed of casting spells will be much faster than using mana.

In a battle of spells, the difference in the speed of casting spells is the difference between survival and death.

He exclaimed again: "No wonder the Gang Qi is highly praised in the animal skin book, but the magic power is scorned.

Whether it is strength or casting speed, mana is not qualified to compare with Gang Qi. "

Liu Yuanchen tried to release the Gang Qi, but found that the Gang Qi could only leave the body half a foot.

With his current state, he can already use his magic power to attack things within ten feet.

“No wonder the Gang Qi is so strong and yet it disappears.

High consumption is only one of the reasons. Another reason is that it is not suitable for outdoor use. "

If there is a battle between a monk who practices Gang Qi and a monk who practices mana, the mana monk can release spells from a distance.

And if the Gangqi cultivator does not have close-range means, no matter how strong his attack ability is, it will be in vain.

No matter how strong the Gangqi's offensive and defensive capabilities are, if it cannot encounter an opponent, it will only be passively beaten.

With such serious flaws, coupled with the scarcity of resources in the Red Wasteland, it is strange that the Gangqi inheritance has not been eliminated.

Even if you are blessed to provide resources, you can easily earn resources.

When choosing between mana and Gangqi, mana will be the main one.

Gang Qi can only be used as an auxiliary means to strengthen muscles, bones and defense.

Unless there are powerful means to make up for the shortcomings of Gangqi's inability to attack from a distance.

Otherwise, Gangqi cannot replace the status of mana.
