“Is that so?” Su Ci’s eyes lit up.
Thus, he accepted the Qi Induction Pill.
“The Qi Induction Pill can greatly increase a Cultivator’s speed of sensing and absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.”
“You’re a lucky kid; I couldn’t bear to buy this back then,” Feng Huai clicked his tongue.
“Thank you, Uncle Feng, thank you, Uncle Feng!”
Su Ci was extremely grateful, carefully putting away the Qi Induction Pill like a treasure, then casually asked, “Oh, by the way, which Miscellaneous Service Disciple died?”
Feng Huai said, “Er Gou died.”
“Brother Er Gou, how did he die?”
Su Ci was startled.
He had been in the Miscellaneous Service Hall for ten days and had gotten to know a few people; this Er Gou was a good person and had conversed with him many times.
But he still remembered Er Gou being full of vigor yesterday, so how could he have suddenly died?
Feng Huai was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “He offended an Outer Sect Disciple and had his head cut off by a Sword Slash.”
“Ah?” Su Ci’s face instantly changed, and his heart turned cold.
Feng Huai looked at Su Ci and said gravely, “You must remember, true Outer Sect Disciples are like adults to us; their status is absolutely superior.
One moment of displeasure from them could cause you immense trouble, or even death!”
“To these high and mighty Cultivators, you and I are as insignificant as blades of grass!”
“If you see them, you must be respectful and never show any disrespect!”
Su Ci nodded, saying seriously, “Understood, I will keep that in mind.”
...
Returning to his room and closing the door, Su Ci eagerly took out a Qi Induction Pill.
“Ten days have passed; if it were Uncle Feng’s talent, he should be able to sense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within these two days.”
“Although my Spiritual Root is worse, with the help of two Qi Induction Pills, I hope to be earlier than Uncle Feng!”
With excitement, he immediately swallowed a Qi Induction Pill, then immediately closed his eyes to sense.
After the Medicinal Pill entered his abdomen, it quickly transformed into a mass of energy that spread out.
His entire Meridians seemed to instantly relax a lot, including his pores which widened; a surge of Spiritual Qi rushed directly into his Sea of Consciousness, giving him a temporary, wonderful feeling.
This feeling seemed to amplify his perception, making it extraordinarily sharp, far exceeding what it was before!
After about an hour, Su Ci, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly sensed some tiny, faint white, shimmering specks of light moving around him.
He was instantly overjoyed!
Is this the legendary Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?!
However, before he could do anything, his perception instantly deteriorated, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi disappeared from his senses.
“The effect of the Qi Induction Pill has ended.”
Su Ci opened his eyes, having guessed this.
“Fortunately, there’s still one more Qi Induction Pill; using both Qi Induction Pills should be enough for me to successfully induce Qi!”
“Again!”
That feeling just now was too wonderful; although it eventually faded, it greatly increased his confidence, and he immediately swallowed the second Qi Induction Pill.
With the effect of the first one, this time he only took about half an hour to sense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi again.
He did not hesitate this time and immediately operated the tactic according to the description in the Qi Induction Tactic, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
“Whoosh~”
In his perception, the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding space seemed to be drawn, slowly drifting towards his body.
It entered his body through his pores.
Immediately after, following the description in the Qi Induction Tactic, he guided this Spiritual Qi to rapidly circulate along his Meridians within his body.
But he quickly discovered that although he absorbed a lot of Spiritual Qi, much of it seeped out again as soon as it entered his body.
It seemed to dissipate, leaving his body, unable to be utilized by him.
“Is this what Uncle Feng meant by poor talent?”
“The Spiritual Qi absorbed is already not much, and a large portion cannot be used; the remaining small portion, even if it can be used by me, is very slow in the refining process!”
Su Ci slowly clenched his fist, truly feeling for the first time just how poor the talent of a miscellaneous Spiritual Root was.
In fact, if not for the help of two Qi Induction Pills, he might truly have taken one or two months to sense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!
Inside his body, as this Spiritual Qi passed through his flesh and Meridians, it felt like a sweet spring, making him very comfortable and enjoyable.
The entire process lasted for about two hours.
According to the description in the Qi Induction Tactic, he completed one full circulation.
Finally, this wisp of Spiritual Qi arrived in his Dantian.
When it was completely refined in his Dantian, slowly circling as if rooted, Su Ci instantly felt his entire being transformed.
“Boom!”
In his Sea of Consciousness, like a massive change, his entire perception ability instantly soared.
Under his current perception, he could now inwardly examine all his flesh, internal organs, Meridians, and other existences.
It was like a reflection, appearing in his Sea of Consciousness.
“This is the ‘Divine Thought’ described in the Qi Induction Tactic; I’ve truly achieved it!”
Su Ci was overjoyed; he had truly stepped into the Refining Qi First Layer!
It took a full ten days, plus the help of two Qi Induction Pills, to just reach this step; it truly was not easy.
The feeling of inner vision with Divine Thought was very strange, filling Su Ci with novelty.
However, before he could carefully sense it, he suddenly discovered an anomaly in his Dantian.
Just above the location where Spiritual Qi was stored in his Dantian, a faint golden light slowly bloomed in what was originally a quiet place.
Su Ci immediately observed with his Divine Thought.
Through the faint golden light, he saw a pearl radiating golden light, suspended in the Dantian.
“This is...”
Su Ci was stunned for a moment, unsure what this thing was.
“This should be the thing that knocked me out back then, right? It’s actually been inside my body all this time; no wonder I always felt something in my abdomen before!”
He wasn’t too surprised, as he had some suspicions before.
The strengthening of his physique and recovery ability these days must all be related to this pearl!
“What exactly is this? Besides strengthening my physique, what other effects does it have?”
Su Ci pondered in his heart.
He tried to probe and communicate with it using his Divine Thought, wanting to understand this pearl.
However, he struggled for half an hour without being able to clearly investigate the pearl’s situation, estimating that his current Divine Thought was too weak to do so.
“Forget it, never mind for now; there’s no harm in it at the moment, and it seems to be a treasure.”
“Let’s leave it for now.”
He took a deep breath.
Having just completed a round of Qi Refining, he didn’t want to waste time and prepared to once again operate the Qi Induction Tactic to absorb more Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and strengthen himself.
In his Sea of Consciousness, the tactic of the Qi Induction Tactic appeared.
But at this moment, the golden pearl in his Dantian actually emitted a beam of light, which rushed through his main Meridians directly into his Sea of Consciousness.
In an instant, he felt his Sea of Consciousness become clear, and his entire being seemed to touch an ineffable state.
In his Sea of Consciousness, the faint golden beam of light transformed into a light screen.
Immediately after, many characters slowly appeared, neatly arranged.
“What is this?” Su Ci was surprised.
