"Child, I see hidden power in you."
"Power?"
"Yes, a very powerful power, so powerful that it surpasses your imagination … Unfortunately, you still can't unleash it."
Lin Xi was skeptical of the black shadow's words.
Could it be … referring to the Progenitor Virus Bloodline, the infinite evolution potential?
"That power is …"
The black shadow raised the walking stick in his hand and gently drew it in front of him, as if he was holding a brush and writing something. The golden light quietly lit up the space where the walking stick passed, and finally formed a huge Chinese character.
Qi.
This character was bright, golden, the writing changed nimbly, like an ancient seal, but also like a tadpole.
"Qi?"
Lin Xi found this to be funny, but also in disbelief. "This one … I'll just call you great master. Great master, could it be that what you are talking about is energy? Don't I have Qi now? Besides, Qi isn't some high-grade stuff. "
Similar to magic and magic, Qi was undoubtedly one of the most powerful forms of energy. No! There was almost no other.
At least before the end of the world, there were not many people in the world who dared to say they had magic and magic. And in society, there were qigong training classes that used the name "Qi Refinement" to deceive people everywhere.
This black shadow couldn't be a charlatan right …
But, a charlatan who could enter other people's dreams?
"Hahaha …"
The black shadow laughed: "No, child … You don't understand what Qi is. Qi is not only life force, but also contains more …"
"Qi … The essence of heaven and earth, the source of life, the abyss of all things. It is the foundation of matter and reality, and also the sustenance of spirit and fantasy. It even forms the world we live in: the vast, boundless universe."
"Everything that circulates in the world can be seen as Qi … Yin Qi, Yang Qi, Stellar Qi, Evil Qi, Immortal Qi, Netherworld Qi, Righteous Qi, Slaughter Qi, as well as Geng Metal, Yi Wood, Kui Water, Li Fire, Wu Earth, these five elemental Qi …"
"All kinds of Qi form this beautiful planet, form this mysterious universe, form you, me, him …"
In front of the shadowy figure, he was using his cane to write in the air: Qi. As he spoke, the color of the words kept changing. There were even specks of light that looked like stars emerging from the words.
This undoubtedly gave people a very mysterious feeling, as if a mere man contained the entire universe …
"Your life force is very outstanding … Even I can't compare to it. This is a gift from the universe. However, if you can't control it with your mind, and if you can't make your spiritual perception merge with qi, you will never be able to understand the true power of qi. "
"Child, Jian Dan's most ordinary things … are actually the most profound and the most powerful …"
When he heard the dark figure's aged words that were full of deep influence, looking at the resplendent golden characters that floated quietly in this space, in the end, Lin Xi felt a bit of trust in him.
"Then … What should I do to truly control qi?"
"Hahaha … It's difficult, but it's not difficult at all. First of all, you have to understand who you are … I've spent thirty years. Some people can't figure it out for their whole lives, but some people only need a short moment to recognize themselves … Child, remember this:
"Heart like a pond.
Rising with the wind, it's naturally hard to distinguish.
But like water without ripples.
Naturally, when the heart is calm, it's clear.
Your heart is as still as water, without the slightest ripple … When you can do this, think about what the source of your heart is … "
The black shadow dissipated, leaving only the simple and vigorous man in the space, still emitting light.
"Qi?"
He slept until the next day. When he woke up from his dream, Lin Xi was still frowning, puzzled.
"Isn't qi the flow of biological energy? Recognize yourself … I, am I not me? Lin Xi, 16 years old, evolver, ancestor virus bloodline … Who is that old guy? You can't be purposely making fun of me, right …? "
Although he said this, Lin Xi also understood that a person who could use his spirit sense to enter his dream had no need to say such nonsense to deceive him … Qi, this lowest form of energy, was it really that magical?
Forget it, he would think about it later. At least this black shadow's words made Lin Xi's confusion and annoyance from Yin Tiangang's words disappear.
What a caring grandpa …
Unfortunately, he couldn't bring it with him …
After leaving the small town, Lin Xi's next destination was Jinling City. Like Luzhou City, it was one of the special cities in the world, a core gathering place.
But it shouldn't be as bad as Luzhou City, where he encountered the Shadow Island.
A Demigod Boss with a Godly Artifact wasn't a big deal. However, this Boss was a Mage with immense destructive power. Not only was she a Forbidden Mage who could cast Forbidden Spells, but she also had an entire Undead army with her.
Wang Feifei's parents lived in Jinling. Back then, when he separated from Dong Qing, Su Hongying, and Mai Shiranui, he agreed with the girls to meet up in Jinling City — moreover, the three members of the Beast Squad, Zhen Tian, and Wang Wei were also going to Jinling.
Lin Xi was not in a hurry to use Hagi Hyuk to fly there.
Just like from Pearl City to Luzhou, he encountered many BOSS along the way. It was dangerous, but it was also a kind of training — without the experience along the way, the lack of points obtained from killing a large number of BOSS, and without strengthening his attributes, he wouldn't be able to use Destruction.
Without the Six Forms of Sundae, he would also be at a disadvantage when facing this parasitic monster.
"I hope that on the way to Jinling, I can figure out the guidance that the mysterious old guy gave me. Otherwise, with my current state, I'm afraid I won't be able to control a place like Jinling, where there are many evolved people and top masters. "
Leaving the town, Lin Xi had something on his mind. He no longer pretended to be a BOSS, and he didn't want to split his attention to control the elemental magic ball. He also didn't want to dress too conspicuously.
There were more than eight thousand points in his phone.
He spent five hundred points to exchange for a cloth-grade hooded robe.
Like the black robe of the Grim Reaper, it covered his body, hair, and even his face under the shadow of the hood.
Walking on the road, Lin Xi soon felt a little unbearable.
Even if he didn't plan to fly to Jinling, walking on two legs was too annoying. When would he stop?
Exchange!
He could do whatever he wanted with money.
First, he would change to a riding pet.
Eight thousand points wasn't a lot. Back then, the three-headed abyssal lizard was worth thirty thousand points, and the armored bear, super mammoth, and other huge riding pets were also worth about twenty thousand points.
Cheap riding pets …
Vanishing Shadow, Red Rabbit, Yellow Claw, Flying Lightning from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series …
Warcraft, Chocobo from the Final Fantasy series …
These lower priced riding pets were all eliminated. He didn't want to waste points carelessly. Eight thousand points required at least a certain level of combat power, and it wouldn't die easily.
Pokemon.
In other words, Pokemon, Pokemon Pets, and Pokémon …
Before the apocalypse, it was one of Lin Xi's favorite games, similar to the Digimon anime in his heart.
It was just that Digimon, those powerful complete and ultimate forms were too expensive, and the infant and adult forms were relatively weak, so they needed to be cultivated slowly.
Pokemon.
In fact, this was a fantasy world with extremely high levels of strength and mystery. There were Gods of Creation, Gods of Life, and Gods of the Netherworld. They could even travel through time and return to the past to correct what had happened in reality!
There were strong and weak elves here.
Not to mention eight thousand points.
Even eighty thousand points wouldn't be enough to exchange for a powerful elf — any Quasi Divine Beast infant would be worth more than one hundred thousand points.
Fortunately, Lin Xi only wanted to exchange for a riding pet that had a certain level of self-defense and combat power, and could be ridden without walking to Jinling.
In the end, he chose —
Mount Goat.
In the game, this was officially designated as a mount. It wasn't strong, but it was very comfortable to ride, and it had a pair of large horns on its head that could be used as armrests. It was 1.7 meters tall, enough for an adult to ride.
The goat's color was mainly brown and covered with a thick layer of fur. The long fur on its neck was emerald green like the leaves of a tree. After this gentle pet appeared, it used its dark brown eyes to carefully observe its master.
Lin Xi was looking at the attributes of the mount goat in his phone.
Mercenary —
Pet: Mount Goat;
Talent —
Herbivore: Restores health by eating grass;
Skill —
Roar: Roar loudly to scare the enemy, scaring them away;
Ram: Uses all the strength in the body to run towards the enemy;
Leap: Jumps to a high place, and when landing, uses its hooves to trample on the enemy;
Energy Ball: Gathers the natural energy of the grass attribute into a ball, and blasts it towards the enemy.
Mount Goat wasn't strong, and its popularity in the game was low. It couldn't be compared to the Marsh Leaping Fish or Pikachu that could see through everything.
But this pet could be ridden, and it had a recovery talent, so it wouldn't die easily. If it was injured, it just needed to eat grass. Thirdly, other than physical attacks, it also had energy skills.
Usually, it could survive by eating grass and leaves.
What else could he ask for with 8,000 points?
Sitting on the back of the mountain goat, it was indeed an elf that was specially made for riding. It ran very steadily. Occasionally, when he encountered mushrooms, green water spirits, and other small monsters, he could scare them away with a roar — this allowed Lin Xi to concentrate on other things.
"Who am I?"
"I'm afraid this is similar to enlightenment in Zen Buddhism …"
"My vitality is very strong, this is for sure. The super cells of the Progenitor Virus bloodline are far stronger than ordinary people, and after being destroyed and reborn, I absorbed the source energy of life with divine power."
"My heart is like still water, without any waves … and then think about who I am … and trigger the hidden power in my body …"
Lin Xi closed his eyes, quietly comprehending, but he still didn't have any clues. He couldn't help but release a light sigh. That shadow was clearly from the East, an existence with extremely high spiritual cultivation … this type of old fella just liked to use some mysterious methods to test the youngsters.
The East's cultivation system, even if it was just the martial arts system, such as Jin Yong's martial arts world, would deteriorate from generation to generation. This was inseparable from the fact that the old guys didn't teach the younger generation well and liked to be secretive.
If a martial arts secret book was written so directly, wouldn't it be too degrading?
He used some profound and obscure terms to make people guess what he meant.
As for the secret book, it must be placed in a cave or hidden in a crack — then let the fated young heroes slowly flip through it.
Little did they know, the younger generation was forced to slowly decline just like that.
