"Xiantian Qigong sounds complicated, but it's just the first step of cultivation, refining essence into Qi …"
"In the previous world, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was thin, and martial artists could only refine their own essence. It was almost impossible for them to break through to the Xiantian Realm. But this world is different, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is abundant …"
Chung Shen-soo felt that his spirit had broken some kind of shackle, and he could feel the world outside his body, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was rolling in.
There were differences in the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. There was once a powerful person who had written the Supreme Sense, which divided the different types of Yuan Qi into tens of thousands of types.
But for a beginner like Chung Shen-soo, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was just Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi! There was no difference between them.
Even if there was, it would be a matter of a higher realm.
Even with his crude Xiantian Qigong, he couldn't distinguish them one by one. So he just swallowed them and refined them.
Gradually, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in his Dantian became silent and transformed, turning into a translucent energy.
"Is this … True Qi? The realm that I dreamed of in the previous world, but couldn't break through. "
Chung Shen-soo looked at this scene, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Martial True Qi!
Also known as Xiantian True Qi, it was a kind of energy that could turn something rotten into something magical.
No matter how powerful a Houtian Martial Artist was, there was still a limit, and his stamina couldn't be endless, so he could be surrounded and killed.
But a Xiantian Martial Artist had already taken the first step of transcending mortality!
Under the intense interference, Chung Shen-soo forcefully refined his Qi!
But before he could familiarize himself with the Xiantian True Qi, he suddenly felt a 'black hole'.
The black hole emitted a terrifying suction force, and it swallowed the True Qi, like a gluttonous Taotie.
"If you want it, I'll give it to you."
Chung Shen-soo meditated and refined his Qi, using the Xiantian True Qi to fill the hole in his body.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, the sky was beginning to brighten.
Chung Shen-soo opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. He realized that he was drenched in sweat.
"It seems like using True Qi to replace my own Profound Qi to deal with that vengeful spirit is feasible …"
Chung Shen-soo stood up and realized that his steps were weak and his face was pale. He looked no different from a person who had just suffered a serious illness. He could not help but smile bitterly. "And I'm even more certain of one thing. This is how it is during a normal full moon. If I still can't find a solution during the night of the blood moon, I will definitely be killed by the Headless Count!"
"As for why the Headless Count likes to wreak havoc during the full moon and the blood moon, it seems to have something to do with the sacrifices … That great being loves the blood moon the most, so the County of Hastings often chooses the night of the blood moon for sacrifices …"
Chung Shen-soo fell into deep thought.
As he continued to control the Headless Count in his body, he gradually gained some fragmented memories.
At the very least, he was almost proficient in a Western foreign language.
"The time of the Night of the Blood Moon isn't fixed, but if I plan for the worst, it might only be a few months away …"
Chung Shen-soo pondered and looked at the attribute window.
[Hundred Refined Martial Arts: Fifth Layer]
[Guqin: Third Layer]
[Chess: Third Layer]
[Calligraphy: Fourth Layer]
[Xiantian Qigong: First Layer]
[Mystic Yin Soul Control Fragment: First Layer]
[Tenxiu Point: 0 (5%)]
…
"After I came back, Tenxiu Point has also slowly increased. This is because Huang Xie and the others have been promoting my martial arts and deeds …"
Chung Shen-soo had long understood that it was better to let others do it for you than to show off yourself.
In other words, fame was also a kind of power.
"Why is this similar to the power of faith?"
Chung Shen-soo nodded and then shook his head. "In the short term, whether it is Xiantian Qigong or Mystic Yin Soul Control Fragment, it should not be a problem for a normal full moon. But if it is the night of the Blood Moon, it might be a little difficult. At the very least, I need to raise it a few more layers to have any effect. Is this forcing me to cause another big wave of trouble?"
He thought about it and decided to use this as a backup.
After all, Chung Shen-soo had always been a steady person and did not like to be in the limelight.
"Other than that, mastering some real Daoist techniques or looking for other magical items that can suppress vengeful spirits might be effective too. It is a pity that I do not have the means to do so. In the entire Fufeng Protectorate, perhaps only the Governor's Office has such rare items …"
He suddenly realized that this goal did not contradict his original plan.
For the time being, he would mix around in the system of the Protectorate. Perhaps he could find a way to save himself.
At the same time, he could also look for opportunities to obtain a few Tenxiu Point in case of emergencies.
As Chung Shen-soo pondered, he approached the canteen. Two dog heads came up to him. "Woof … Su."
"Good morning, Huang and Loopy Clam."
Chung Shen-soo replied with a smile.
Huang Xie had originally planned to retire, but in the end, he encountered a major incident and delayed it.
Moreover, although he had performed a meritorious deed and received a large reward, he did not seem to be planning to retire. Instead, he was planning to extend his term.
Needless to say, it was all because of his nephew, Loopy Clam.
Chung Shen-soo suspected that as long as Huang Xie was not around, Loopy Clam would tear down the military camp and commit suicide.
"Congratulations, Su. I heard that … Battalion Chief Xu Wenling has announced that Tian Bufen has failed in his duty and has been relieved of his position as the Chief of Soldiers. Xue San has also completed his retirement procedures. Su has been appointed as the Chief Of Police."
Huang Xie said fawningly, "In the future, we will be on the same team. Please take care of my nephew, Su."
"Of course, of course."
Chung Shen-soo thought about it and said to Loopy Clam, "Previously, you asked me for a word. After thinking for a few days, I finally came up with a good word. How about 'Shiqi'?"
"Woof woof!"
Loopy Clam laughed so hard that his mouth cracked open. He nodded in agreement.
Chung Shen-soo secretly pretended to be cool. He was about to go eat when he was suddenly pulled by Huang Xie. "Su, your seat is not here anymore."
He was startled. He suddenly remembered that he was already the Chief Of Police. Unlike these soldiers, he could sit and eat.
The strict hierarchy in the Second Empire was reflected in every aspect of life.
Chung Shen-soo did not intend to disobey. He went to the long wooden table where the Chief Of Police was sitting. He looked at the dishes on the table. Apart from a few fresh vegetables, there was a plate of braised pork. The sauce was red and fragrant, and the fat was almost dripping off. It made people who had rarely tasted oil swallow their saliva.
This was the rank of the Chief Of Police. If it was a Chief of Soldiers or even a Battalion Chief, the food would be even better.
"After all this time, I've finally reached the level where I can eat meat …"
Chung Shen-soo picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks. He sighed in his heart, "Back in the day, I was also a big boss. I enjoyed everything I could. Now, I'm in this situation. It's sad …"
