Volume 1 Linglong Case Chapter 14: Demon
With the blessing of the new character template, Lin Qianxing felt that all the attributes of his body seemed to have improved, and he seemed to faintly sense a thin mysterious energy wandering between heaven and earth. His instinct told him that this energy would be of great benefit to him after being absorbed into his body.
The vitality of heaven and earth?
Lin Qianxing suddenly remembered the feeling of Qi described in "The True Art of Practicing Qi".
So Lin Qianxing immediately sat down cross-legged and began to try to practice "The True Art of Qi Training".
He had asked Xu Fengzhi about this when he was looking for the "True Art of Practicing Qi" before, and learned that the path of a qigong practitioner did not conflict with that of a martial artist, and was even complementary to that of a martial artist. That was why he dared to practice the "True Art of Practicing Qi" at this time.
Unlike before when he could not sense the vitality of heaven and earth no matter what, now he just closed his eyes for a while and vaguely felt the special energy wandering between heaven and earth.
With a slight movement of his mind, Lin Qianxing began to breathe according to the breathing method in "The True Art of Practicing Qi".
As he breathed, the vital energy of heaven and earth began to slowly enter his body through his breath, and finally turned into strands of spiritual energy and were stored in his cells.
This technique is not difficult. The real difficulty is that the vital energy between heaven and earth is too thin.
After practicing for half an hour, Lin Qianxing stopped breathing.
He felt the faint spiritual energy in his body and suddenly understood why there were so few Qigong practitioners.
There is too little Yuan Qi in the natural world. Even if one has the talent to sense its existence, it is difficult to collect and refine it.
Lin Qianxing felt that if he wanted to achieve something without external help, it would take at least several decades.
It was also written in the notes left by Xu Fengzhi that he had been practicing Qigong for sixty years, four hours a day, without interruption, but he was only at the third level of , and was still far from the tenth level of Qigong that could build a foundation.
After all, this path is a way of cultivation left over from ancient times, and it is no longer suitable in today's world.
He tried to mobilize the little bit of spiritual energy he had just cultivated in his body to perform the art of seeing qi, but the little bit of spiritual energy was consumed the moment it was mobilized and injected into his eyes.
Lin Qianxing only felt that the scene in front of him changed for a moment, and then returned to its original appearance.
This made Lin Qianxing sigh.
He was extremely envious of the miraculous abilities of the Qigong practitioners in the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, but if the path of Qigong practitioners was so difficult, then he might as well give up.
It's not worth it to work hard all your life just to gain one more method of observing the weather.
Shaking his head, Lin Qianxing began to practice internal skills.
Although the cultivation of internal strength cannot increase the quantity, after the improvement of purity, Lin Qianxing feels that his internal strength has become much stronger.
The most direct manifestation is that the power he now gains from his internal energy is obviously much stronger than at the beginning.
As soon as the internal force circulated in his body for a cycle, Lin Qianxing opened his eyes in surprise.
After this circle of internal energy circulation just now, he felt that the internal energy in his body seemed to have increased?
illusion?
No it isn't!!
Lin Qianxing knew very well what it felt like when his internal energy was full, and he also had a certain judgment of the amount of his internal energy.
Just now he felt that his internal energy had increased after circulating around his body and returning to his dantian.
Lin Qianxing suddenly thought of a question.
After a new character template was added to him, his various attributes and even his talents were improved.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to suddenly be able to sense the vital energy of heaven and earth.
Then by the same logic, has the capacity of his dantian also increased now?
Lin Qianxing did not master the ability of inner vision, but he did feel that his internal energy, which was enough to fill his dantian before, now did not fill up his dantian at all.
This discovery made Lin Qianxing excited.
If every character template is blessed, it means that another self is superimposed on you.
Wouldn't he become a genius very soon?
Is this superposition in a digital way, or is it reflected in qualitative change?
Does his mental strength, speed of thinking, etc. have any impact?
If so, does he have three brains now?
Lin Qianxing took out the "True Art of Qi Training" from his arms and flipped through it quickly.
His strong eyesight allowed him to easily take in the words on the book. After reading for less than ten seconds, Lin Qianxing closed the book.
Then he was surprised to find that he had memorized all the words on that page in his mind.
He knew very well that he could never do this before.
So does he have three times the memory now?
And three times the sense of smell, three times the hearing...
Lin Qianxing initially thought that the changes in himself were simply the blessing provided by the character template of [King of Hidden Weapons], but now he thinks that is not entirely the case.
In fact, when the character template of [King of Light Kung Fu] was added, it should have changed.
He knew from his memory that Banyi had never been a martial arts genius, otherwise his adoptive father would have definitely trained him with all his heart.
But when he was in Hecang Town, Zhu Jiang said that he was very talented.
At that time, he had just been blessed with the character template of [King of Qing Kung Fu].
So, these are the changes brought about by the template, right?
Lin Qianxing calmed down and began to try to feel the world through hearing.
Sure enough, he could hear more sounds and feel more details.
He tried the strength of one arm with the huge stone he had used during his daytime training and found that it became easier to lift.
After a quick mental estimate, Lin Qianxing found that the strength of his single arm had reached about 700 kilograms.
Five hundred kilograms more strength than before.
This may be due to the fact that the [King of Hidden Weapons] already has amazing arm strength, but it is undeniable that he has indeed been blessed with the power of the King of Hidden Weapons.
If he were to use his internal energy, Lin Qianxing's explosive power with one arm would probably reach over a thousand pounds.
Afterwards, Lin Qianxing tried other changes to his body.
He found that after he had acquired the template of [King of Hidden Weapons], his body had indeed become much stronger, and his skin, tendons, and bones had all been strengthened to varying degrees.
Even physical strength and other things have changed, becoming stronger, and the efficiency of refining internal strength has also increased.
But what puzzled Lin Qianxing was that his weight had not changed.
He did not become as heavy as three adults, and still maintained the same appearance and height as when he traveled through time.
So the character template only adds some attributes, memories and skills, and does not change his physical form?
Lin Qianxing scratched his chin. Such a change seemed extremely unscientific.
But the golden finger he possesses is not scientific in itself, and there is also the infinite plug-in.
The two abilities he now possesses both violate common sense of physics. The former is to jump out of thin air, and the latter can create matter out of thin air.
No matter which one it is, it is difficult to explain with Lin Qianxing's common sense.
Shaking his head, Lin Qianxing did not delve into the issue any further, but continued to sit cross-legged and practice his internal energy.
Now that his internal energy is not fully replenished, he always lacks a sense of security. He should first replenish his internal energy.
It took Lin Qianxing two hours to replenish his internal energy. According to his estimation, his total internal energy has increased by more than 30%.
In other words, the [King of Hidden Weapons] template brings an increase of more than 30% in Dantian capacity.
Speaking of which, why couldn’t he find the Dantian organ in his previous life’s memory?
He had never heard of a similar description.
Could it be that people in this world don’t have Dantian at all?
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why such an advanced spiritual civilization would not study such an organ that can conveniently store energy.
Then what about his Dantian?
Virtual Dantian brought by the character template?
Lin Qianxing encountered something he couldn't understand again.
However, he soon encountered something that was even more confusing.
That was where he found himself resting, with a new visitor.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss~!”
It was a giant snake with a completely pitch-black body, as thick as a bucket. It was coiled around the tree, with its huge head sticking out from the treetops. Its vertical green pupils stared at Lin Qianxing, revealing a hint of greed.
"Monster?"
Lin Qianxing was slightly startled.
He had also heard of such things as monsters in his previous life's memories and during his travels during this period.
There are monsters in this world, and there are quite a few of them.
Their intelligence is no less than that of humans. The big demons can even transform into humans through certain means. From the appearance alone, you can't tell the difference between them and humans.
Monsters do eat people, but they are no different from wild beasts eating people; they are just more difficult to deal with than wild beasts.
In Dayu country, there is an organization dedicated to dealing with monsters, called Monster Catching Department.
Among them are many extraordinary people with special abilities, and they are the ones who handle all cases involving monsters.
Lin Qianxing had no idea of his opponent's strength, and his internal force surged in his body. The next moment, he suddenly raised his hand.
Tsk, tsk, tsk~!
Dozens of flying knives rushed out, and Lin Qianxing used his lightness skills to run towards the distance.
After running for a distance, Lin Qianxing found that the other party had not caught up with him, so he turned back to take a look.
He found that there were several holes on the giant snake's head, and a large amount of blood was flowing out. Its body was still twitching, but it was obviously dead.
Lin Qianxing discovered that he had overestimated the size of the monster.
They are powerful, but also layered.
This snake demon is at most a small demon that absorbed some of the vitality of heaven and earth by chance. It is just slightly stronger than an ordinary wild beast. I think any warrior who has achieved a small level of Yi Jin can deal with it. His reaction is really a bit too extreme.
But even so, Lin Qianxing still threw more than two hundred flying knives and stabbed the snake demon into a sieve before stopping.
Then he waited for a while, and when he found that it was no longer moving, he walked forward to check it out.
The giant snake's body length was exaggerated. Lin Qianxing roughly estimated that it was at least fifteen meters long. Its scales were very thick. Lin Qianxing was unable to break through its defense with his dagger, but it was obviously still no match for the meteorite flying knife.
After all, the meteorite flying knife directly pierced through its body and head.
Lin Qianxing looked at the big piece of meat and wondered whether it was edible .
He was really curious about this.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qianxing used his lightness skills to quickly disappear into the jungle. Soon, he had a few palm-sized small mammals in his hands.
Then Lin Qianxing took a piece of meat from the giant snake and placed it near their mouths.
They sniffed it and then swallowed it.
Then Lin Qianxing observed for more than an hour, until it was completely dawn. After finding that they were all fine, he began to make a fire and prepare to eat the giant snake's meat.
He built a fire, used a meteorite knife to cut off bits of flesh from the giant snake, roasted them over the fire, and then swallowed them in his mouth.
The taste is pretty good, surprisingly not fishy.
After swallowing it, Lin Qianxing waited for about quarter of an hour until he felt nothing unusual in his body, and then he continued to eat the giant snake's meat.
However, he still didn't dare to eat too much. Even though he had internal strength as a means of detoxification, he was still very cautious when facing unknown things.
After eating some snake meat, Lin Qianxing unexpectedly discovered that this thing was actually very filling.
Normally he had to eat a lot of food to feel full, but after eating the snake meat, he felt full without eating much.
He roughly understood in his mind that this was because the nutrients and energy contained in it were more abundant than ordinary food.
