As Shi Dingyan continued to "feed" him, Shen Qian's entire body was covered in colorful light.
More and more spiritual energy surged into Shen Qian's body, and gradually, even the medicinal power of the Rongyuan Pill could no longer restrain the corrupted spiritual energy.
"teacher?"
Seeing that Shen Qian's body was showing signs of being torn apart again, Shi Dingyan frowned and turned to look at Gao Wenyuan.
"Just watch."
Gao Wenyuan had no expression.
Under Shi Dingyan's questioning gaze, Shen Qian gradually fell into a state of facial distortion again.
His body was torn in many places, blood splattered everywhere, spiritual energy overflowed, and his whole body seemed to be about to shatter completely.
But at that moment, a milky white light seemed to suddenly awaken, enveloping Shen Qian from the inside out and constantly repairing his broken vitality.
“This is…” Shi Dingyan was stunned.
“He ate the peach from the Weak Water,” Gao Wenyuan said softly.
Shi Dingyan's eyes widened, as if the impact of those words was even greater than when he saw the Sky-Mending Stone.
"Eighth Junior Sister actually let him eat peaches?" Shi Dingyan murmured.
"Probably... because they're all sick." Gao Wenyuan smiled slightly.
"Huh?" Shi Dingyan was somewhat bewildered.
Gao Wenyuan did not elaborate on the matter. He stood with his hands behind his back and waited for a while before speaking, "Dingyan, you stay here and wait. After it's over, take him to rest."
Shi Dingyan felt much more at ease upon hearing this, because Gao Wenyuan's words meant that no further accidents would occur.
After thinking for a moment, before Gao Wenyuan left, Shi Dingyan, having calmed himself down, still asked, "May I ask, teacher, what exactly is the primordial energy that Ninth Junior Brother has fused together?"
"Is it the Five Elements, or the even more powerful Yin and Yang?"
Upon hearing Shi Dingyan's question, Gao Wenyuan paused, his gaze piercing through the void as if he had seen something interesting, and then an indescribable, subtle expression appeared on his face.
"I don't know either."
"You...don't know either?"
Gao Wenyuan didn't say anything more, and his figure disappeared silently from the spot.
Shi Dingyan remained standing there, speechless for a long time.
...
Shen Qian awoke amidst the familiar scent of sandalwood.
He stared at the simply decorated ceiling, lost in a long daze.
Because... he felt like his body no longer belonged to him.
It felt both strange and familiar.
Shen Qian sat up in bed, wearing only a nightgown. He couldn't wait to tear it off and, using the sunlight streaming in through the window, began to examine his body.
It doesn't have any exaggeratedly perfect proportions, but it's strangely harmonious and looks good no matter how you look at it.
Before sinking, I began to try to harness the new life force within my body.
A burst of vital energy leaped from his fingertips, but it wasn't the usual colorless and formless kind; instead, it had a cool gray texture that was clearly discernible.
"Beginner warrior..."
A sense of peace welled up inside him as he sank in.
Without a doubt, he has successfully advanced and crossed the initial threshold.
From this day forward, he has finally opened the door to the new era of spiritual energy and is now qualified to be called a true martial artist.
Clang!
The sudden sound of breaking things at the door startled Shen Qian. The hurried footsteps made him realize something. He looked at his naked body and felt somewhat embarrassed.
However, he quickly banished these distracting thoughts from his mind.
When he picked up the bracelet, he was shocked to find that it was already June 7th!
He started idling on June 3rd, which means it took him 4 days to achieve this breakthrough.
He urgently needed to check his online logs to fill in the gaps in his "incomplete" memory.
Before sinking in, he put on his clothes and tidied up the food and porcelain shards scattered on the floor by the door. Then he sat back on the bed and immersed his consciousness in the AFK interface.
This time, probably because it didn't stop halfway through, there's only one folder.
Lacking training memory and combat experience, it is the most familiar plain text version before sinking.
After reading only the first few lines, Chen Qian was stunned.
He... didn't leave the city after all?
When Shen Qian saw that he had found Gao Wenyuan and finally logged into Jingcheng's weather system, he was stunned by the system's actions.
Gao Wenyuan actually agreed.
But after thinking about it for a while, Shen Qian felt a sudden realization.
Yes, there are all sorts of violent weather outside the city, but where can you find a weather regulation system as comprehensive as Jingcheng's?
The "system" has always been someone who doesn't follow the usual path.
Shen Qian had guessed that the system probably wouldn't just fuse with one type of primordial energy, but he still greatly underestimated the system's ambition.
One hundred and twenty kinds!
That's fucking outrageous.
Shen Qian continued reading, and what followed was the process of the system integrating 120 kinds of primordial energy. After clicking "Extract Method Memory", Shen Qian digested it for a while and understood what "primordial energy" meant from the system's perspective.
To put it bluntly, "original energy" is actually a kind of spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The spiritual energy is mixed, which, from a physics perspective, is equivalent to containing various trace elements.
Therefore, martial artists cannot directly use the spiritual energy they absorb into their bodies. Instead, they must first "purify" it. After being "filtered" through cultivation, the spiritual energy becomes the vital energy that circulates within the human body.
The so-called "original energy" refers to a special spiritual energy in which the proportion of a certain element exceeds that of other elements.
For example, Liu Changqing's "wind" is the wind element that overwhelms the spiritual energy of other elements, thus possessing a distinct wind attribute, allowing him to fly through the air even before reaching the mountains and seas.
