Chen Zhou lay on the tree trunk, constantly practicing the technique of controlling true qi. He kept practicing the first pattern, the turtle, until he could master it.
A turtle appeared and disappeared in the air in front of Chen Zhou, then another turtle appeared and disappeared, repeating this process over and over again, without Chen Zhou showing any signs of boredom.
Chen Zhou doesn't consider himself a genius; on the contrary, he thinks he's just a nobody.
Even if you're a salted fish, you have to put in even more effort. If you can't get the first pattern right, Chen Zhou will keep practicing that pattern until it's passable.
"Why can't I draw this standard?" Chen Zhou murmured. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't capture the feeling described in that manual.
"Have you ever wondered why your true energy only exists in the outside world for such a short time?" Elder Ren asked Chen Zhou at this moment.
Indeed, Chen Zhou's true energy existed in the outside world for a very short time. By the time Chen Zhou finished drawing the entire turtle, the part of the turtle he had just started drawing had almost disappeared.
That's why the turtle Chen Zhou drew with his inner energy was never complete.
“That’s my problem. My true energy only lasts a very short time in the outside world, and I don’t know why,” Chen Zhou replied.
Chen Zhou racked his brains but couldn't figure out the reason.
"Your physical condition is absolutely fine now. You've not only absorbed the root of the poisonous tree but also undergone body refinement. The problem lies in your insufficient control over your true energy. You're already in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, so your true energy should be plentiful. Look at you, you've been practicing for so long, and your true energy isn't lacking at all," Elder Ren advised.
Chen Zhou tried hard to understand what Elder Ren was saying and continued to recall the contents of the cultivation method.
How can I make my true qi last longer?
Chen Zhou thought that since his true qi could exist in his body for a longer time and his body had a constant temperature, did that mean that if he controlled his true qi at a temperature similar to the outside temperature, it could exist for a longer time?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhou immediately took action, this time also using his true energy to depict the tortoise.
Strands of true energy emerged from Chen Zhou's fingers. This time, Chen Zhou was completely focused on controlling the temperature of the true energy. This was the first time he had noticed this thing. Normally, the true energy he released was the temperature of Chen Zhou's body.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
Under Chen Zhou's depiction, strands of true energy quickly transformed into a lifelike turtle. True energy is inherently full of vitality, and now this turtle seemed to have come to life.
Moreover, this time, the situation Chen Zhou encountered before did not occur again. This time, Chen Zhou's true energy was preserved until he finished drawing, and it stayed for a period of time. As long as Chen Zhou did not force the true energy to dissipate, it would not dissipate on its own.
Chen Zhou was overjoyed, as if he had found a treasure, and immediately told Elder Ren, "Elder Ren! I succeeded."
"This young man is teachable," said Old Ren slowly.
Chen Zhou did not choose to continue to immerse himself in joy, but continued to practice repeatedly. He had never had this habit before, changing the temperature of his true energy release. Now Chen Zhou had to get used to it, otherwise his true energy would easily dissipate.
This will put Chen Zhou at a great disadvantage in the battle.
Yu Junya, having nothing else to do, would occasionally glance in Chen Zhou's direction, wondering why Yu Qirui hadn't arrived yet while also observing Chen Zhou's every move.
This idiot started using his inner energy to paint from the moment he left?
That's right!
It's something only children in the tribe do: drawing.
And the drawing depicts a turtle.
Now you've even drawn several turtles?
Is this a provocation against oneself?
Yu Junya thought to herself, "This idiot is too bold. How dare he provoke me?"
However, upon further observation, Yu Junya made a miraculous discovery: this fool's true energy was existing in the outside world for longer and longer periods of time.
When I first started watching, they couldn't even draw a whole turtle. Now they can draw four or five turtles at the same time, and they can exist for a long time.
Yu Junya thought about herself and wondered if she could do the same thing if she used her true energy to draw the same patterns.
While Yu Junya was imagining, Chen Zhou began to draw another pattern.
This is an extremely complex dragon, Yu Junya thought to herself, because Chen Zhou had only just begun to draw and she could already see many tiny lines. Chen Zhou had to use his true energy to draw them all, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty.
Chen Zhou was completely focused on drawing the dragon. Strands of true energy appeared on his fingers as he carefully depicted the dragon before him.
"This dragon is even more complex than the formation?" Chen Zhou muttered to himself, and then continued to describe the complex dragon.
The dragon was larger than the tortoise and had more details. Chen Zhou had to carve out many of the scales. He was so focused on depicting the dragon that he forgot about everything else.
Just then, Yu Qirui returned and was about to ask Yu Junya where Chen Dachuan was when Yu Junya pointed to the tree branch opposite, where Chen Zhou was engrossed in painting.
Seeing this, Yu Qirui didn't rush to disturb Chen Zhou, but instead asked Yu Junya, "What's going on?"
"He seems to be training his ability to control his true qi," Yu Junya answered honestly. She had indeed underestimated the difficulty of the painting. From the moment she saw Chen Zhou draw several turtles at the same time, she felt that this was not simple.
"This dragon is so complex, how could it possibly be depicted with true qi?" Yu Qirui had seen depictions of complex formations, but he had never seen a picture drawn with true qi. In his opinion, this dragon was so complex that he himself could not possibly depict it.
If a formation master were standing next to Yu Qirui now, they would definitely correct Yu Qirui's thinking. The depiction of the formation is actually related to the picture depicted by this true energy.
If this painting could be depicted using true qi, many complex formations would be easily resolved.
This is of great help in improving the arrangement of formations.
Chen Zhou had no time to think; he focused entirely on the image of the dragon in his mind and then used his true energy to depict it.
If Chen Zhou successfully depicts it this time, his control over true qi will truly reach a new level.
Chen Zhou's current problem is that he can find the array core, but he cannot set up many arrays at the same time. This technique makes up for this deficiency very well, improves the control of true qi, and allows him to find the array core and draw the array.
If Chen Zhou can master this technique, his mastery of formations will definitely reach a new level.
"It's almost finished..." Yu Qirui said to Chen Zhou in surprise.
