"I told you to eat less," Qin Zhao said helplessly. He couldn't understand how the boy, with such a small body, could eat so much and not gain any weight. "Come and lie down for a while. Don't walk around."
But Jing Li shook his head: "No."
He paused and added, "I'm going to sleep outside today."
If we go outside, we will have to sleep in the pool.
Qin Zhao asked: "Why?"
"Hmm..." Jing Li's eyes were a little evasive, and he said guiltily, "You just took the medicine and need to rest well. I was afraid that it would disturb your sleep."
Qin Zhao laughed: "Aren't you afraid that I'll have another attack at night and no one will take care of me?"
Jing Li was stunned.
"Then wait for me!" Jing Li said, and ran quickly out to the yard.
Qin Zhao instinctively realized that something was wrong, and sure enough, Jing Li came back quickly with a small wooden bucket full of water in his hand.
This is the wooden barrel that Jingli used to live in. Since moving here, this small wooden barrel has never been used again.
Jing Li said: "I will sleep here tonight. Call me if you feel uncomfortable."
"..." Qin Zhao was silent for a moment and asked, "So why do you want to -"
Before he could finish his words, a red light suddenly flashed in the room, Jing Li's clothes fell off, and a bright red koi fell into the small wooden barrel.
Qin Zhao: “…………”
The little koi fish wagged its tail in the water, raised its head and spoke in human language: "What did you want to tell me just now?"
Qin Zhao picked up the clothes scattered on the ground without complaint: "...Nothing."
It was already late at night. Qin Zhao blew out the oil lamp in the room and lay back on the bed. The wooden barrel containing Jing Li was placed on the table not far away. A small koi fish floated to the surface, and a pair of eyes peeked out from the edge of the barrel, secretly observing him.
The effect of the medicine seemed to have not yet worn off, and Qin Zhao's breathing had stabilized again.
While waiting for Qin Zhao to wake up, Jing Li took out the book "Monster Records" he had bought earlier and read it.
He still has some difficulty in recognizing words now. Referring to the primers he had learned before, Jing Li guessed and read out a lot of useful information from the books.
For example, after a monster transforms into a human, it occasionally reveals its true form. This is because it lacks spiritual power and needs to practice to replenish it.
For example, every moment a monster transforms into a human consumes spiritual energy, so they have to practice day and night. To become a stable human, it takes at least hundreds of years of cultivation.
But Jing Li has not practiced for a single day since he traveled through time.
He didn't know whether his original Koi had practiced before crossing here, and whether it was because of that that he had enough spiritual power to transform into a human form.
He only knew that he had no method or memory of cultivation in his mind.
The book says that the spiritual power in a monster's body is like an hourglass. If it is not replenished in time, it will be used up and it may never be able to transform into a human form again.
If that’s the case... Jing Li can’t continue to consume it.
That's why he suggested sleeping in the water at night.
Spending the night in the form of a koi fish would at least slow down the consumption of spiritual energy, right?
The book does not talk about specific cultivation methods, but it does talk about some ways to replenish spiritual power.
It was what Ayi read to him that day...the dual cultivation of collecting and replenishing energy.
The complete meaning of that passage is roughly as follows: When a monster first transforms into a human form, its spiritual power is unstable, so it can replenish its spiritual power by practicing dual cultivation with humans. Additionally, close contact with humans can also absorb a small amount of essence to replenish spiritual power, but the effect is far less than dual cultivation.
Jing Li certainly knew what dual cultivation and cultivation meant, but...
Mr. Xue said that Qin Zhao’s health was not good.
Not only that, he couldn't get too close to Qin Zhao until he recovered. Otherwise, what if he absorbed his essence and made his condition worse?
And he couldn't tell Qin Zhao the truth.
He will definitely be sad.
In fact, before reading this book, Jing Li was skeptical about it. But the book was so impressive that it made people believe it.
Moreover, he transformed from a human into a koi carp, and then from a koi carp back into a human. Of course, it is better to believe it than not.
