Chapter 803: Spirit Stone (Part 2)
"Ice Cave, what kind of ice Cave is it? Where is it?"
When Fang Yi heard Paibo telling the story of getting these two jades, he seemed casual, but in fact he was a little nervous. Paibo didn't see anything, but the old Taoist Long Wanda saw it and couldn't help but look at Fang Yi strangely.
In Long Wanda's eyes, Fang Yi is a young man. He is not only a very advanced cultivation, but also able to restrain his head-sucking technique.
More importantly, Fang Yi's calm mind is not as calm as a young man in his twenties. After spending more than half a year with Fang Yi, Long Wanda has never seen Fang Yi so nervous. Now that he is concerned about these two stones, Long Wanda is also a little surprised.
"That ice cave is very strange, it is about fifty kilometers away..."
Payabo recalled: "Most of the ice caves we usually see are caused by geological reasons, and there are usually a lot of ice slags, but this ice cave is very smooth, and it looks like it was poured out from top to bottom. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid I would have lost my life when it fell..."
"What about inside the ice cave? Is that the same?" Fang Yi asked afterwards.
"It's not inside..."
Payabo shook his head and said, "It's a bit like a cave, with many strange-shaped ice flowers, ice creams, icicles and other landscapes. If it weren't in the Arctic, it would probably have become a tourist attraction. It's better than any cave I've ever seen..."
"Dean, I think that ice cave is probably left by aliens..."
He looked at Long Wanda carefully, and Payabo continued: "I see that the ice cave looks like it was formed when a UFO fell. It is definitely worth in-depth research. If you can find it, you may be able to obtain a technological civilization that surpasses the earth!"
"I think you are a kid who is obsessed with it?"
Hearing Payabo's words, Long Wanda was furious and said angrily: "I asked you to set up a scientific research station in the Arctic for the resources of the Arctic. I ask you, are there any mineral resources in that ice cave?"
"No..." Payabo said with some frustration when he heard this: "But Dean, the place we were detecting is only a small area of the ice cave, maybe there will be...
"Maybe, maybe it's just uncertain. I have to consider whether this scientific research station will be lifted. Okay, Payabo, you go out first..." Long Wanda saw that Payabo only knew so much about the ice cave. He waved his hand and drove him out.
"Fang Yi, what exactly is this? Is it helpful to us?"
After Payabo went out, Long Wanda looked at Fang Yi with hope. Unlike Fang Yi and Peng Bin, he was already in his old age, so Payabo had to practice to a higher level more urgently than Fang Yi and Peng Bin, and use it to extend his life.
"Old Dragon, I can't say what this is, but I know that there is spiritual energy in it!" Fang Yi's face was very solemn.
The theory of spiritual energy comes from the ancient times in the legend. There was no written record of modern civilization at that time. It can be said that it was a fault in the earth's civilization. Fang Yi also learned from some Taoist classics, and even those classics were mostly recorded in the form of myths and legends.
However, the encounter of Wild Man Mountain made Fang Yi know that there was indeed a Qi Refiner in ancient times, and he also saw the spiritual energy. However, since then, Fang Yi never discovered the existence of spiritual energy again. Even in that lost mysterious space, the spiritual energy had long disappeared.
So although this jade is only the size of a thumb, the feeling he brought to Fang Yi was no less than the shock that Fang Yi had just entered the mysterious space, and it was even more so, because Fang Yi, who had merged a trace of spiritual energy, could clearly sense that this jade contained a trace of spiritual energy far beyond the one he had absorbed.
"You mean, there is a spiritual energy in this jade that can help us cultivate?"
Hearing Fang Yi's words, Long Wanda's eyes instantly glared, and he also obtained the inheritance of the mysterious space light ball. Therefore, he knew that if the skills they practiced were supplemented with spiritual energy, they would achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing.
Moreover, Long Wanda also knew that when their cultivation reaches some advanced realms, they need a lot of spiritual energy. For ancient Qi Refiners, spiritual energy is like nuclear weapons in some current superpowers, and is completely strategic and indispensable resources.
So after hearing the news that these two jades actually contained spiritual energy, Long Wanda's first reaction was to regret. He really regretted showing the jade to Fang Yi, because it means that Fang Yi and Peng Bin will definitely get a share and cannot monopolize it himself.
"Yes, there is indeed spiritual energy in this jade!"
The thing belongs to Long Wanda, and Fang Yi cannot do anything to cheat. Moreover, those who practice Taoism emphasize open-minded thoughts. Even if this thing is extremely precious to him, Fang Yi has no idea to deceive Long Wanda to swallow these two pieces of jade.
"This... how do you need to use this?" Long Wanda's voice trembled a little, and he was holding another piece of jade tightly in his palm. He no longer expected the piece in Fang Yi's hand to come back, but fortunately he still had one.
"Lao Long, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to listen to first?" After taking a deep breath, Fang Yi calmed down his emotions from the excitement of seeing Yushi for the first time.
"Let me hear bad news first. I have lived long enough that I should be able to withstand it..." Long Wanda smiled bitterly when he heard this, and felt a bad feeling in his heart.
"The bad news is that neither you nor my elder brother can absorb the spiritual energy from this jade to practice..." Fang Yi was also blunt in speaking about Long Wanda, who might become his own cultivation partner in the future.
"Why? Isn't spiritual energy just used to assist in cultivation? Why can't Peng Bin and I absorb it?" Hearing Fang Yi's words, Long Wangda couldn't help but get anxious. To be honest, there are not many things that can make him lose his composure.
"Old dragon, your body can't bear it..."
Fang Yi shook his head and said, "The spiritual energy is indeed used to assist the ancient Qi Refiners in cultivation, but usually only those who have reached the innate realm can use spiritual energy to practice. You have not even achieved acquired perfection now. If you absorb the spiritual energy inside, I am afraid that your meridians will burst..."
Whether it is practicing martial arts or qi, in the initial stage, the body is tempered to make the body stronger. Under this foundation, the body can withstand more pure energy and make itself stronger.
For example, the meridians of ordinary people are often blocked after being eroded by acquired dirt and cannot tolerate breath walking. Taoist qi refining means opening these meridians and further expanding them to make them tough. Only in this way can the true qi cultivated later.
After entering the innate world, what is wandering in the body is no longer true qi but true energy. This is the same as using a plastic container to accommodate ordinary water but cannot accommodate strong acids. The spiritual energy cannot be absorbed and fused casually. It requires corresponding realm and cultivation.
The reason why Fang Yi absorbed the trace of spiritual energy in the Wild Man Mountain was that he had no idea about the existence of spiritual energy before, and the situation at that time was also a little passive. He integrated the trace of spiritual energy into his body without knowing it.
Fang Yi has been practicing Taoism in the mountains since he was a child. He has been contaminated with less worldly dirt in his body. When he went down the mountain, he accidentally opened his sea of consciousness, and his spiritual consciousness and body have been greatly strengthened, far beyond the current Peng Bin and Long Wanda.
But even so, when absorbing and fusing the trace of spiritual energy, Fang Yi was still in pain. The numbness, itch and pain that forced the meridians to expand, made him still feel scared when he recalled it. If it weren't for the fact that his body could not move at that time, Fang Yi would have scratched himself all over his body.
After having experienced this experience, and corresponding to some tips in the exercises, Fang Yicai made this conclusion that before entering the innate realm, the behavior of absorbing and fusing spiritual energy is like taking poison.
Peng Bin is a little better. He practiced external skills before. Although his meridians are more fragile than Fang Yi, he is still a person who cultivates true qi. After the nourishment of true qi wandering in it, Peng Bin's meridians now have a certain tolerance.
However, Long Wanda's practice time was still too short. He just felt a little weak sense of energy. If Long Wanda forced it to absorb it, there would be only one end, that is, the meridians in the body would be destroyed, and he would be disabled even if he was not dead.
"Then...will this thing be of no use to me?"
When Long Wanda heard Fang Yi say this jade like a poisonous thing, he showed an anxious and disappointed look on his face. No matter how good the thing is, it would be worthless to Long Wanda.
"Old Long, don't worry, there is good news..."
Fang Yi smiled and said, "The good news is that after you cultivate true qi, you can absorb some spiritual energy for a period of time. Although it is a bit painful, as long as you can survive, it will definitely be of great benefit to your cultivation."
"Hmm? This... how long will it take?" Long Wanda is not the kind of person who is eager for quick success and instant benefits, but he couldn't help it when he heard that he was expected to absorb spiritual energy to practice.
"Three or five years should be enough..."
Fang Yi thought for a while and said uncertainly: "It depends on the progress of your cultivation. If you are not sure, try to extend the time as much as possible. But Lao Long, I have to tell you first that when absorbing and fusing spiritual energy, it feels unusual and will make you feel unbearable..."
"Hmm? Have you ever fused with spiritual energy?" Long Wangda looked at Fang Yi in surprise. If Fang Yi hadn't experienced it personally, he would definitely not be able to say such things.
"By chance, I once absorbed a very thin stream of spiritual energy..."
Fang Yi nodded. Through the past six months of getting along with Long Wanda, he could see that although Long Wanda was born as a surrender, his mind was not evil and he was a friend who could make friends with him. Therefore, Fang Yi did not hide anything from him in this matter.
"Compared with the spiritual energy you absorb, does this stone contain more spiritual energy? Will they dissipate?" Long Wanda asked.
"The trace of spiritual energy I absorbed has begun to slowly dissipate, and it cannot be compared with the spiritual energy in this stone..."
Although Fang Yi did not absorb the spiritual energy in the jade, he could sense it. The spiritual energy in it seemed to be more pure and was all restrained. If it was not used, it would not overflow even if it lasted for a long time.
Fang Yi was also a little scared now. If he absorbed the spiritual energy in this stone at that time, it would be more than just a pain and a physical body could not bear it, and at least it would be a consequence of the meridians being completely cut off.
