The knowledge of how to use this ability had already been ingrained in his mind, but Chen Jing did not try it because it had huge limitations.
His spiritual power was only enough for five minutes of continuous use. This time was an estimate given by his instincts. Theoretically, it could be longer, but that would bring some kind of danger: the danger of spiritual power depletion.
As for what kind of danger it was, Chen Jing did not have the corresponding knowledge.
As for how to restore this ability, the advice given by the knowledge is to sleep. Deep, peaceful sleep will restore the spiritual energy consumed.
Chen Jing vaguely felt that this was not the complete version of the pill at all, but only a part of the pill, or even just a certain ingredient.
After sensing the abilities, Chen Jing asked, "Teacher, what are the Blood Realm, Core Realm, and Qi Realm? And what are spiritual power and spiritual energy?"
This is a portion of the knowledge he gained after absorbing the Black Elixir, but it only contains terms without corresponding explanations.
The "expert" said, "That's a classification of cultivator levels. The Blood Realm is the lowest level of cultivator, while the Core Realm and Qi Realm are further advanced."
"The reason these terms don't circulate is because some people believe that one can infer a person's potential from the knowledge they gain by consuming the elixir... Anyone with eyes can see that this is a lie."
"As for spiritual energy, it is the source of a cultivator's power. It is said that in ancient times, the air contained a large amount of spiritual energy. Later, as the earliest gods and demons slowly absorbed it, the spiritual energy in the air was depleted and entered the bodies of living beings, forming sediments in those bodies. The black pill you ate can essentially be considered a sediment of spiritual energy."
“Spiritual power is your power reserve. The amount of spiritual power varies for each level of cultivator, and using a cultivator's power will consume spiritual power. If spiritual power is depleted, then the cultivator will be in a very dangerous situation. Trust me, don't try that.”
Chen Jing seemed to be deep in thought, then asked, "So, am I considered a cultivator in the Blood Realm?"
"No, you can't be a Blood Realm cultivator. At most, you've acquired one of the abilities of a Blood Realm, Core Realm, or Qi Realm cultivator, or even just a part of one. You could be called a Body Realm cultivator or a person with extraordinary abilities," the expert said. "If you want to become a Blood Realm cultivator, you need to complete your abilities."
Chen Jing nodded thoughtfully. It seemed the rumors were true; the abilities possessed by extraordinary individuals were indeed some kind of ability of cultivators, but a weakened or partial version of those abilities!
Therefore, a true cultivator should possess all these abilities simultaneously: their own concealment, the precision of a teacher, the weapon-enhancing abilities of Auntie with the magic bag, and the leadership and charisma of a leader...
That's incredible.
Chen Jing then asked, "How can I replenish my abilities?"
"A complete elixir." The expert answered without hesitation: "Find the materials for a Blood Realm elixir, find an alchemist or refine a complete Blood Realm elixir yourself, and then swallow it."
The materials for Blood Realm Pills... Chen Jing thought of the monsters hunted by the hunting groups. The materials they obtained could be sold to merchants at high prices. Were those materials the materials for refining pills?
"Of course, there is another way, but it is too rare and too difficult," the expert said.
"Another way?" Chen Jing asked, puzzled.
"Yes, you can no longer do it. It doesn't rely on elixirs at all. In the ancient Song Dynasty, those who could become cultivators in that way were called Marquis Champion." The expert's calm tone revealed an undisguised sense of nostalgia.
