Chapter 023 Preparation for trouble
"Thank you all, it's been a pain for you." Qiao Ji smiled faintly and thanked Fang Xiuwen.
Although she is the only ghost cultivator in the world now, these scientists do not regard her as an experimental subject, but respect her as a senior. Although they may appear fanatical sometimes, it is all out of normal scientific research spirit, so when facing them, Qiao Ji's attitude is generally better.
"This bracelet is so simple, it's not as good as mine." Orange watched Chu Yi try out the bracelet in the system while chatting with her.
"Orange is the most powerful, even more powerful than the main god~" Chu Yi teased it with a smile. When it comes to the system, Orange can't help but compete every time.
'Well, that's not the case. 'In the virtual world, Orange stretched out his paws to cover his cheeks. He still had some self-awareness.
'Why did they only make one smart bracelet? Obviously, there were more powerful things in the machine that Lingling gave them.' Orange changed the subject and asked a question that it was very curious about.
'Because you can't take big steps, and going too fast will cause problems. Chu Yi did not explain it in detail to Orange. It didn't really want to understand it. It was just curious.
"Is that so..." As expected, Juzi didn't care about Chu Yi's perfunctory response. She answered casually and quickly diverted her attention. "Ring-ring-ring, is Miss Liu Jimeng about to enter the fusion period? '
'Hmm~ the finishing touch. '
Since Liu Jimeng successfully awakened, she automatically entered the enlightenment period. In addition, she has great talent, so after officially starting her cultivation journey, she entered the integration period in just one month.
Before the Nascent Soul stage, the obstacles to a cultivator's advancement would not be very great, so this fusion-stage cultivator from the Dragon Group has already been reserved.
Liu Jimeng was also very happy. Although her life was no longer in her own hands since she met the witch, her life suddenly became very beautiful. I have a good job, colleagues who I get along well with, and my cultivation is going smoothly. Life really couldn't be better.
'When will the bell start its next action? 'Orange is getting a little tired of doing the same activities for a month. It hangs around in the Dragon Group base every day and can tell you everything it does with its eyes closed.
Chu Yi was helpless. Why did this little guy still love to stir up trouble?
'It's almost time for humans to start practicing cultivation. ' She comforted the bored Orange while explaining why she had delayed for so long, 'Modern humans have been polluted in various ways, and their bodies are indeed no longer suitable for cultivation. If I were to come out and lead everyone in cultivation right away, then few people of this generation would be able to achieve anything meaningful in their cultivation, and this would be detrimental to the development of the world. '
'So, Lingling, why did you let everyone be flushed with spiritual energy for a period of time? 'Orange understood. It remembered that Chu Yi once mentioned a few words about the effect of spiritual energy on the human body. At that time, it thought she just said it unintentionally, but it turned out that there was a reason.
'Yes, since the revival of spiritual energy, people have been experiencing spiritual energy cleansing for nearly half a year. All the improvements that can be made to the body have been made, and we can now practice. 'Chu Yi was actually very impatient, but for the sake of long-term plans, she could only be patient and wait slowly.
'Then why now? Won't you wait a little longer? '
'The automatic cleansing of spiritual energy has its limits. Once it reaches a limit, it will be of no use to everyone unless the spiritual energy in the world experiences another surge. 'And that would be too long to wait, and she didn't want to keep waiting.
At the moment, everyone’s qualifications are barely good enough, so let’s start planning as soon as possible. The authorities have suppressed several "riots" by netizens, and everyone's desire to practice cultivation can no longer be suppressed.
'Okay~ Then when do we start the bell? 'Orange cheered excitedly. It really wanted to see how everyone would look when they saw 'him'. It would definitely be super interesting.
'Wait a little longer, we still need to lay the groundwork. Hmm... Let me think, let's start preparing tomorrow. Chu Yi clapped his hands in his heart and set the time.
Just according to her calculations, Liu Jimeng will be able to break through the fusion stage tonight, and will be able to vaguely sense some things, which will be more conducive to the implementation of the plan.
After spending most of the day in the research group, Duan Shi and his colleagues dispersed and continued to do their own things. Qiao Ji also took Liu Jimeng to the training room to practice.
"Senior, what should I pay attention to when advancing?"
In the training room, Liu Jimeng was practicing magic while chatting with Qiao Ji.
She was still very nervous about her first breakthrough in her life, fearing that she would encounter some inner demons like those in novels and fail to make the breakthrough. The group still has high expectations of her, and she doesn't want to disappoint everyone.
Qiao Ji was hovering in the air not far from her, also practicing some small spells. When she heard Liu Jimeng ask her, she calmly replied: "There is nothing special to pay attention to. Although I can't use it as a reference, according to my understanding, cultivators will not encounter inner demon tribulations before the Nascent Soul stage. As long as the spiritual power accumulated in the body is reached, it will naturally break through after a period of impact."
"Is that so?" Liu Jimeng was somewhat surprised, "Then there were many high-level monks in ancient times?"
Qiao Ji nodded, "Yes, in ancient times, spiritual energy was abundant, there were many cultivators, and each sect had quite a few in the Nascent Soul stage. However, in ancient times, only those who reached the level of Spirit Severing and above could be called high-level cultivators. After Spirit Severing, the difficulty of breaking through each level increases exponentially, so there are still not many truly high-level cultivators."
Liu Jimeng suddenly realized, that's why Senior Qiao Ji said that she was not a big shot. At that time, she thought that the senior was just being modest. It turned out that in her era, the Nascent Soul was indeed not particularly powerful.
However, Liu Jimeng thought again that in modern times, the spiritual energy has only been revived for a few months, and the Nascent Soul stage is already the ceiling of current combat power. She is only about to break through the fusion stage, so the senior is still very powerful.
With these thoughts in her mind, she didn't say anything else. She turned around and began to practice seriously.
The two of them practiced the magic without interfering with each other until the evening. After Liu Jimeng had dinner, they came to a special room.
This room was specially built for the future advancement of the members. One side of the room is made of special transparent glass. After being tested by Qiao Ji, it can withstand a relatively minor blow from the Nascent Soul stage. The defense is not particularly good, but it allows scientists to visually see the monks’ breakthroughs, making it easier for them to collect data.
After she arrived, she simply greeted everyone present and went into the room to start meditating. Qiao Ji also followed in and protected her.
Duan Shi and several experts from the research team stood outside and observed attentively.
Liu Jimeng was unable to get into the state at first, but after a few minutes he slowly let go of the distracting thoughts in his mind and his breathing became long and slow. After meditating quietly for about half an hour, she finally broke through the barrier and began to advance.
The surrounding spiritual energy was stirred and rushed towards her frantically. The various values on the data monitor in the room outside also fluctuated wildly, and various prompt boxes filled the screen. All the scientists perked up and began to stare at Liu Jimeng intently.
Duan Shi was outside, putting his hands on the glass, frowning and looking worried. Liu Jimeng is his subordinate, and he doesn't want anything unexpected to happen to this girl who has experienced so much hardship. However, outsiders cannot help with matters such as cultivation, so he can only stand outside and worry.
Inside the room, Chu Yi was wearing Qiao Ji's shell, floating calmly in the air. Although she herself has not experienced a breakthrough, there is really nothing to worry about breaking through from the enlightenment period to the fusion period. Most of the scientists outside were busy collecting data, but Duan Shi was the only one who treated Liu Jimeng like a little chick and was worried about everything she did.
According to her guess, Liu Jimeng would only need half an hour to successfully break through. At that time, taking advantage of her breakthrough and the connection with the world, it would be the best time for 'him' to appear.
Under everyone's intense attention, after Liu Jimeng madly absorbed spiritual energy for nearly half an hour, the flow of spiritual energy around her finally eased, and her face suddenly became very rosy.
Everyone knew that she succeeded.
Just as everyone was about to cheer, Liu Jimeng's expression suddenly became strange, as if she had seen something shocking, and her expression was a little distorted.
Everyone also noticed that Hashihime, who had been very calm at the side, seemed to have sensed something and her expression became very surprised. Although not as exaggerated as Liu Jimeng's, for her, this level of surprise has already made everyone know that this matter is definitely not simple.
Several scientists began to discuss nervously again, wondering what on earth they had sensed and what kind of drastic changes the flower-growing world would have to go through.
Duan Shi became even more worried. He wanted to rush into the room immediately and get to the bottom of things. However, he knew that the timing was not right and the situation had not yet reached the worst, so he managed to resist the impulse.
At this time, he hated it very much. Why couldn't ordinary people start practicing? Otherwise, when faced with such emergencies, they would have no way to deal with it. They could only wait for notification of what happened.
Duan Shi endured for a while, but still couldn't help reaching out and hammering the glass. This feeling of powerlessness was really terrible.
After everyone waited anxiously for a few minutes, Liu Jimeng finally opened his eyes under the watchful eyes of everyone.
She didn't care about stabilizing her own realm, and immediately looked at Qiao Ji, shouting in a somewhat panicked tone: "Senior!"
Before Liu Jimeng could finish, Qiao Ji raised her hand to stop her, "I know, I sensed it too. You should take this time to stabilize your state first. If you have anything to say, we can talk later." Seeing that Liu Jimeng was still very nervous, she raised the corners of her mouth to reveal a comforting smile, and said to her in a slow tone, "Don't worry, don't worry. Maybe this is a good thing."
After hearing what Qiao Ji said, Liu Jimeng felt a little relieved. As the most powerful senior here, she said so, so it shouldn't be a bad thing.
So Liu Jimeng nodded to Duan Shi outside to indicate that he didn't need to worry, then closed his eyes and went into meditation again. After her breakthrough, the aura around her was still very chaotic. She was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to it just now. Now when she felt it secretly, she still felt a little uncomfortable. She was so scared that she quickly put aside all distracting thoughts and began to sort out the spiritual energy surging in her body.
Senior Qiao Ji said that although it is easy to break through the realms before the Nascent Soul, it is not okay to ignore the basics. You must not be casual about it. You must consolidate and sort it out in time after each breakthrough, so that it will be easier to practice in the future.
Qiao Ji was not in a hurry to leave. She planned to wait until Liu Jimeng consolidated his realm and then explain the matter together.
'No problem, Orange? Chu Yi looked at Liu Jimeng solemnly on the surface, but actually he started chatting with Juzi in his heart. Just now, she took advantage of Liu Jimeng's breakthrough to summon 'him'. In order to fulfill her plan, she needed to let the vest appear in the next city.
This was the first time she summoned the suit from such a distance, and she was still a little unsure.
So in order to monitor the situation, she fixed her home cabin nearby in advance, and let Orange transform into a physical body to conduct real-time monitoring in the cabin, striving to avoid any accidents.
'No problem! Everything went well~' After it was over, Orange entered the virtual space and began to communicate with Chu Yi through telepathy.
'That's good, we have successfully taken the first step. Next, it’s time to start making up stories. Chu Yi was ready to go. She was the best at making up stories, so this step was not difficult for her.
