Chapter 222 Spiritual Qi Revival 2
Chapter 222
Elder Qingfeng glanced at the people in the room, breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the smile on his face faded considerably: "Fellow Daoist Lin, are you here to persuade us not to cultivate, or to offer us assistance?"
Lin Xia quickly realized that the world wasn't just one country. People in other countries could cultivate or not care about cultivation, but if you didn't cultivate, weren't you just waiting to be beaten?
She thought about it and realized that there really wasn't much she could do. After pondering for a while, she realized that the games she had played before would all be real-world experiences, but these two games also seemed to involve some problem-solving or rather, experiencing the world of problems.
This place is different from the last world. It's more like Jiang Taigong fishing. As long as you don't cultivate, the problem isn't too big. Cultivating is more like drinking poison to quench thirst. When problems arise, it will collapse from top to bottom, and there's no solution at all.
Moreover, there won't be any problems in the short term if you don't practice, but over time, pollutants will enter your body through your breath, and over time, this will become a big problem.
Most importantly, it's still unknown how the plants and animals will react to the spiritual energy mixed in here, which makes things even more complicated.
Lin Xia suddenly didn't want to care anymore, mainly because she couldn't control it anyway. She couldn't bring herself to say "don't cultivate," and if she were to cultivate, how should she do it?
The spiritual energy and the black matter are intertwined; there might be a way to separate them, but it would certainly be quite troublesome.
This is a world of cultivation, and there won't be any major problems in the short term. No one will listen to what she says; it's just a thankless task.
But now that she's here, there's bound to be more changes in the next 10 days. Let's wait and see, and we still need to say something.
"Didn't you ask me to register? Go ahead and register." As soon as Lin Xia said this, the people opposite her looked at her speechlessly.
Li Changying coughed and was about to ask when Lin Xia put her ID card on the table: "You should be able to find the basic information."
"Senior's cultivation level?" Li Changying glanced at the ID card and asked helplessly.
“Cultivation level... I don’t know either.” Lin Xia shook her head.
Elder Qingfeng's expression also darkened. He felt that Lin Xia was being unreasonable, but the pressure was real, and they dared not turn against him.
Li Changying pursed his lips: "Then where did you learn your master, senior?"
Lin Xia tilted her head: "Oh, Qiu Sheng taught me."
"Qiu Sheng? Where is Senior Qiu now?"
"I don't know either, maybe it's not in this world," Lin Xia said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.
After a moment of silence, Li Changying asked again, "Where does Senior currently reside?"
“I have nowhere to stay, so I’ll stay here. I think your place is quite nice.”
Seeing his master nod, Li Changying said, "Then please follow me, senior."
As they descended, Lin Xia discovered that the base was extremely large and deep, with people coming and going. Li Changying led her to a floor with very few rooms and arranged a small courtyard for her.
"Is there anything else you need, senior...?"
Before Li Changying could finish speaking, Meng Qingfei immediately jumped out, patted her chest, and said, "Find me! Find me!"
“Me too!” The boy who had been silent until now immediately stood up.
Li Changying gave them a subtle glare before saying to Lin Xia, "Xiao Qing is my junior sister, and this is Lei Weikai, my senior uncle's disciple. They are very familiar with the base, so you can contact them if you need anything."
Lin Xia nodded, and Li Changying said a few more words before leaving, leaving Meng Qingfei and Lei Weikai behind with a sigh of relief.
"Is there anything you need, senior?" Meng Qingfei looked at Lin Xia with her round eyes, full of curiosity.
"Tell me what I can know, start from the beginning." Lin Xia sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard: "Sit."
Meng Qingfei paused for a moment before putting on a smile again and sitting down opposite Lin Xia. Remembering Lin Xia's suggestion to start from the beginning, she simply began to speak: "Senior Lin, the spiritual energy revival began four years ago. Actually, our sect has always existed, but as you know, the spiritual energy is too thin, so we have been living in the deep mountains and forests."
Seeing Lin Xia nod, she continued, "After the spiritual energy revival, some Western countries have stepped forward, and we have also taken the opportunity to come out of seclusion."
“Modern technology is very advanced, and even spiritual energy can be detected. Soon, some professional instruments detected something amiss in the spiritual energy. We gathered together to try to solve this problem.”
"But as you know, it's very difficult. As long as you cultivate, those things will enter your dantian along with your spiritual energy, and you simply can't separate them effectively."
"Fortunately, the spiritual energy recovers slowly, so neither people nor animals and plants are greatly affected."
"But there are always people, animals and plants with special constitutions, so in recent years there have been some incidents of mutated animals and plants attacking humans."
"We also discovered a problem: the appearance of those black substances allows everyone to cultivate. Although their cultivation level cannot be improved, they can absorb spiritual energy to transform their bodies."
"Those black substances seemed to have transformed the human body, greatly increasing its strength and enabling it to hold more spiritual energy."
“In previous years, spiritual energy was depleted, but the internet was developed, and many cultivation techniques were even uploaded to the internet. In the last two years, people have gradually noticed something was wrong, and news has also leaked from the West. This news may not be able to be kept secret for long.”
Lei Weikai brought tea and placed it on the stone table, poured tea for both of them, and then sat down beside them.
Meng Qingfei gulped down a cup before continuing, "You should know how much the Chinese people crave and are passionate about cultivating immortality. Once the news spreads, cultivators simply can't suppress it."
"So now, it's no longer a question of whether or not one can cultivate, but rather that if more people cultivate and cause mutations, this world may very well face collapse immediately."
"In order to suppress people, our predecessors had no choice but to start cultivating, hoping to suppress the chaos in the future. But you know, this is like drinking poison to quench thirst. No one knows what will happen if these black substances accumulate too much."
"If someone with even higher cultivation level were to undergo a mutation, then this world would not be far from destruction."
"Therefore, if you have any methods to separate or suppress, please do not keep them to yourself, as this concerns the future of the world. Of course, please make any requests you may have as soon as possible."
Meng Qingfei spoke sincerely and looked serious. Lei Weikai nodded in agreement, while Lin Xia shook her head: "I really don't have any good ideas either."
The two looked somewhat disappointed: "Then will you continue cultivating?"
Lin Xia shook her head: "Can I see your cultivation techniques? Of course, any common techniques will do."
Meng Qingfei looked surprised and glanced at Lei Weikai, who resignedly ran out and quickly brought back a book.
Lin Xia looked through it for a while and realized that this world was a very traditional cultivation world, where the cultivation methods all involved compressing spiritual energy into the dantian and sea of consciousness.
The black substance is very effective for this cultivation method, and can quickly invade the brain.
The two exchanged a glance, and Meng Qingfei asked very cautiously, "Is the cultivation method you practice different from ours, senior?"
