Chapter 9 Qi Induction
Could he possess a lightning spiritual root?
Wei and Jin quickly put their unrealistic ideas behind them.
If Zhou Qiuyuan truly possesses a lightning spiritual root, wouldn't it be better for him to cultivate immortality or master genuine immortal body-refining techniques? Why would he waste time learning body-refining methods that require the aid of spiritual tools?
However, he was certain that his little apprentice possessed the most outstanding lightning spirit aptitude besides those with lightning spirit roots. Moreover, his soul strength was extraordinary; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to draw qi into his body so quickly.
Wei Jin did not disturb his disciple's cultivation, but silently observed his every move.
Zhou Qiuyuan began to combine his thoughts with breathing exercises. When he inhaled the energy, the purple tendrils that grew from the Thunder Blade rolled up the purple light spots and rushed into his lungs.
Each breathing exercise showed significant improvement, and after just a dozen or so cycles, the exhaled air carried a barely perceptible purple hue.
As more and more lightning power was inhaled, the tingling sensation in the trachea and lungs became increasingly intense, eventually turning into a burning pain.
"Alright, that's enough for your cultivation. Too much of a good thing is bad." Wei Jin's voice rang in his ears. Zhou Qiuyuan felt a lightness in his palm as the Thunderclap Blade slipped from his hand.
Having lost the Thunder Spirit Tool that allowed him to interact with heaven and earth, the massive purple light spots before Zhou Qiuyuan's eyes vanished, and everything returned to normal.
"Master!"
Just as Zhou Qiuyuan was about to speak, he felt a tightness in his chest, and his voice became hoarse.
"Cultivation requires a gradual approach; one should not rush it."
"Ordinary people's airways and lungs have not been nourished by the energy of heaven and earth, so they cannot withstand too much lightning spiritual power."
"Your progress is very fast, but your breathing channels and lungs can't keep up. In the future, you'll need to prepare Breath Protection Pills to assist your cultivation."
Looking at his young apprentice, Wei Jin couldn't help but sigh.
He was extremely talented, but unfortunately, he came from a very poor background.
The Breath Protection Pill is a special medicine for breathing exercises. Its main function is to protect the lungs and airways, prevent damage to the lungs and airways during practice, and prolong the time spent practicing breathing exercises.
For those with poor aptitude and slow progress, the demand for the Breath Protection Pill is small, and it is not of much use.
The more astonishing the progress of those with exceptional talent, the more lightning power they exhale each day, far exceeding that of ordinary people, making the Protective Breath Pill extremely important.
Otherwise, one must be extremely careful with breathing exercises every day. If damage to the airways and lungs occurs, one will need to rest for several to more than ten days, and the speed of cultivation of the breathing technique will drop to an extremely low level.
"Thank you... for your teachings, Master."
Zhou Qiuyuan spoke with great discomfort, his trachea trembling with a frictional sound.
The damage to the airways and lungs was not significant, and it would take a day or two of rest to alleviate it, but it severely hampered my spiritual practice progress.
What is the price of the Breath Protection Pill?
Hopefully the price won't be too high...
Looking at the harmonious scene of master and disciple in the distance, Luo Tong felt as if he had become an outsider, and a hint of indescribable loss appeared in his eyes.
Among the three disciples his master had taken in, his aptitude for the second-grade Thunder Spirit was the lowest, and it took him a month to barely manage to draw Qi into his body.
Junior Brother's ability to draw in Qi in such a short time is absolutely top-tier, a ninth-grade Thunder Spirit aptitude. The difference between people is just too great...
Zhou Qiuyuan continued his cultivation until dawn before bidding farewell to his master.
By the time I got home, it was completely dark.
Shen Wan stood outside the house, waiting quietly for her son to come home for dinner.
"How did it go? Did you successfully become an apprentice?"
Shen Wan became excited when she saw her son.
She learned from Zhou Chengwu that her son had become an apprentice and couldn't wait to know the outcome.
Zhou Qiuyuan replied softly, "I have already become a disciple and successfully guided the Qi into my body!"
"Very good!"
"Thank God, our family has finally produced a body cultivator. It's a pity that your uncle and maternal grandfather didn't get to see him..."
While Shen Wan was happy, she also thought of her deceased relatives.
The sadness came quickly and went quickly. She didn't even have time to eat, and rushed to Chen's Grocery Store to tell her daughter Zhou Hui the news.
Zhou Qiuyuan soon met his sister.
Compared to the dream, Zhou Hui had no injuries on her face and smiled broadly as she congratulated Zhou Qiuyuan, saying, "Brother, congratulations on getting your wish."
Not long after, brother-in-law Chen Yi'an arrived with pork and rice wine to offer his congratulations.
Chen Yi'an did not hit his sister, and since it was his son-in-law visiting, the treatment he received was completely different from what he had in his future dream.
Their son had become a body cultivator and achieved great success, bringing pride to his parents. Shen Wan was well aware of the whispers and criticisms the neighbors had made about her son. Now, she finally had a chance to hold her head high.
Before long, neighbors from the tenement, who had heard the news, came to offer their congratulations, and the small house was packed with people.
The people in the tenement were just trying to get close to him, hoping that if Zhou Qiuyuan became successful in the future, they could help him out.
Zhou Qiuyuan's breathing was impaired, and he didn't want to waste his breath talking nonsense with them, so he went out for a walk under the pretext of feeling stuffy.
"Ah Yuan, you're amazing! You actually made the right bet! And you even became a lightning-type body refiner."
"You succeeded in becoming an apprentice on your first try, which shows you have excellent judgment. Could you please take a look at my aptitude and see if I can become a body cultivator?"
Cao San was filled with envy when he learned that Zhou Qiuyuan had successfully become a disciple, cultivated Qi, and embarked on the path of a body cultivator.
What young person doesn't want to cultivate immortality?
Cao San gave up learning about paper horses and joined the Green Snake Gang in the hope of making more money and having the opportunity to awaken his spiritual energy and refine his body in the future.
Talent and aptitude?
As if struck by lightning, Zhou Qiuyuan's eyes lit up.
In his future dreams, he spends 30,000 coins to help people awaken their spirits, learns the results of the awakening, and then sells the information back to the other party upon returning to reality. He can make money from future dreams without any cost.
Poor people can't afford the 30,000 coins for the Qiling ceremony, and asking for too high a price won't work either; a fee of around 5,000 coins shouldn't be a problem.
If the outcome in your future dreams is accurate, then making money will be easy.
Even if you don't make money yourself, you can unite all the forces around you by simply sharing information with your close friends and family, making many friends and few enemies.
The idea came quickly, but disappeared even faster; Zhou Qiuyuan realized there were potential problems and hidden dangers.
The tree is too exposed to the wind!
Accurately predicting the outcome of Spirit Awakening saves the cost of Spirit Awakening Pills, but this will undoubtedly expose one's secret. What will happen once the higher-ups of Black Swamp City find out?
To obtain his secret of foreseeing the outcome of the spiritual awakening? To capture him and use him for one's own purposes?
This is not an ordinary world, but a world where cultivators exist.
It is said that some cultivators possess the art of soul searching, and as long as this method is used, hidden secrets will be exposed.
The ability to accurately predict the outcome of spiritual awakening is more suitable for establishing a hidden force. As long as one's identity is well concealed, one can use this to acquire wealth and power.
When Zhou Qiuyuan saw that Cao San was still eagerly waiting for a reply, he could only make up an excuse to brush it off.
"I had a dream about lightning last night, and I suspect that I possess a lightning spirit."
"I admit there was an element of gambling involved, but luckily I succeeded on my first try."
Upon hearing the word "gambling," Cao San's face lit up with a bright smile: "We're brothers for life, A Yuan, you've really struck it rich."
"The cost of body tempering is not a small amount. Now that I've joined the Green Snake Gang, if I need to borrow money for business or go to the gambling den for a couple of rounds, I can come to you anytime."
