Chapter 19: You Know Cultivation Techniques? Am I a Blood Slave?
“What’s wrong?”
“Is there a problem?”
Jiang Chen fell silent.
Liu Feifei put away her usual liveliness and asked seriously, “Little brother, did you really just get an Ancient God’s Item yesterday?”
Bai Yu nodded, looking innocent. “I really did. Is there a problem with that?”
Hearing this, Liu Feifei was momentarily speechless.
Could she say that it took her three to five months to master Spiritual Energy?
The Power of the Ancient Gods was even more overbearing and complex, making it more troublesome to control.
Some people were lucky enough to obtain an Ancient God’s Item and inherit the Power of the Ancient Gods.
However, possessing such immense power all at once made it difficult to wield, and many even took several years to stabilize the power within their bodies.
More unfortunate individuals, unable to control the Power of the Ancient Gods, suffered damage to their meridians, and some even died because of it.
It really is true that comparing oneself to others can be deadly!
But Li Yunbin in the front seat asked an even more shocking question: “Did you just run a Cultivation Technique?”
Bai Yu was stunned.
He had indeed run a Cultivation Technique.
After all, circulating a Cultivation Technique could accelerate the flow of Spiritual Energy during the process of condensing a Lightning Ball.
Without circulating it, the condensation speed of this Lightning Ball would probably only be 1/10th.
He just hadn’t expected Li Yunbin to be able to see even this.
Since his brief facial reaction had already given him away, Bai Yu had no choice but to not hide it.
“Cultivation Technique? It’s when the power within the body circulates in a regular pattern, and it seems to accelerate Spiritual Energy circulation.”
“Yes, it can also assist in absorbing external Spiritual Energy and improving strength. A good Cultivation Technique can open up more meridians and acupoints, allowing the body to store more Spiritual Energy. It is also the principle of cultivation for the Second Realm – the Qi Gathering Realm.”
“Then I must have learned a Cultivation Technique. It seems to have come with the power I obtained, as if it’s innate.”
The others in the car were all getting restless. They recalled the hardships they went through when learning Cultivation Techniques, and then looked at this newcomer who had mastered one so casually, a complex emotion welling up in their hearts.
Back then, their instructor had scolded them relentlessly, calling them stupid, yet among their peers, they were considered little geniuses!
Is this the Power of the Ancient Gods?
Love it, love it!
However, Li Yunbin’s conclusion was: “Your talent must be very high, or you are extremely compatible with the power of this Ancient God.”
“I plan to take you to the Investigation Bureau now to test your strength.”
“Given your current situation, you can completely join the Investigation Bureau.”
Bai Yu was also vaguely looking forward to it.
He had always lived in a peaceful world, and so far, he had only used a drone to film that Fishman monster.
He hadn’t encountered any monsters yet!
“Okay.”
Then, silence fell in the car.
Bai Yu felt a bit bored and glanced at the chatty red-haired girl next to him, Liu Feifei.
“Sister Feifei, can you tell me about cultivation realms? I don’t understand any of it.”
You don’t understand? You don’t understand! It’s precisely because you don’t understand that it’s so infuriating!
“. I want to be quiet.”
“Uh”
Liu Feifei couldn’t hold back in the end and briefly talked about the first three realms.
Body Refining, Qi Gathering, Spiritual Essence.
They didn’t have systematic cultivation at the moment; Body Refining and Qi Gathering were almost happening simultaneously.
The Qi Gathering Realm mainly involved opening up meridians and acupoints.
This realm determined one’s future potential, so it required a lot of time to refine.
The five members of the Seventh Group were in this realm!
Bai Yu was slightly surprised. He remembered seeing Li Yunbin in the Third Realm, but that was intelligence from a year later.
“A difference of one realm does not mean you cannot win.”
“Just like our Group Leader, who spent eight years refining in the Qi Gathering Realm and is capable of fighting some monsters in the Third Realm.”
Special Investigation Bureau.
It wasn’t a hidden underground place as he had imagined, but a legitimate government building.
Bai Yu got out of the car and looked at the sign at the entrance: 【Tianhai City Jiangnan District Market Supervision Administration】.
“No wonder this small Market Supervision Administration building is so grand.”
Liu Feifei said proudly, “It’s even more luxurious inside! There are definitely many things beyond your comprehension.”
The door slowly opened, and the six of them walked in. As they went up the stairs, a group of people was coming out of the Investigation Bureau. The two parties met.
The bearded man leading the opposite group looked at Li Yunbin, then glanced at Bai Yu, and said, “Yo, caught another Blood Slave? He’s quite fair-skinned and handsome, what a shame.”
Bai Yu’s face darkened. Why was he a Blood Slave?
Liu Feifei, on the other hand, put her hands on her hips and said excitedly, “You’re the Blood Slave! This is the treasure we dug up!” Her tone carried a hint of pride.
The bearded man’s eyes lit up when he heard this. “What treasure?”
Saying this, he quickly walked towards Bai Yu. Liu Feifei quickly blocked him, saying, “This is our person. Do you want to snatch him from our Group Leader?”
“You little girl, can’t I just take a look?”
As he spoke, he also asked Bai Yu, “Young man, have you joined their group? The kind where you’ve signed a Contract.”
“Uh”
“See, he’s not part of your group yet! An ownerless treasure belongs to whoever is fated to find it. Are you going to test his strength and go through the procedures? Come on, our team will follow along to watch.”
This bearded man was clearly thick-skinned, and Li Yunbin sighed helplessly.
“Sigh”
Liu Feifei, on the other hand, said anxiously, “Captain, say something! He’s about to be snatched away.”
At this moment, the bearded man quickly bypassed Liu Feifei and said to Bai Yu, “My name is Hu Chengyong, the Group Leader of the Ninth Group. Our team welcomes your joining at any time!”
Jiang Chen couldn’t stand it anymore and slapped away Hu Chengyong’s outstretched hand.
The two sides were on the verge of an argument.
However, it was clear to anyone with discerning eyes that the two groups had a good relationship, which was why they were like this.
Until a cough was heard.
“Cough~”
“Blocking the entrance like this, what kind of behavior is this.” Everyone looked over and saw a middle-aged man in formal attire. His demeanor indicated he held a high position.
“Director Yang!” “Director Yang!” Upon seeing this person, both sides immediately became well-behaved and entered the Investigation Bureau.
Bai Yu quietly followed along.
Liu Feifei, however, whispered in his ear about their team’s various achievements and their strong capabilities.
She was clearly afraid that Bai Yu, their treasure, would slip away.
The Ninth Group’s recent efforts had been primarily focused on the Fishman monsters.
Wang Yongjian, who was killed by an explosion yesterday, was being handled by the Ninth Group, mainly to catch the Big Fish behind it. They had just finished a meeting and were about to go back to rest when they encountered the Seventh Group.
Given Hu Chengyong’s personality, he naturally made a joke, not expecting Liu Feifei to react that way.
This naturally piqued Hu Chengyong’s interest.
And then…
Judging by the reactions of the Seventh Group members, his interest in Bai Yu’s strength grew even stronger.
‘Could this newcomer be someone worth cultivating into a Core Member?’
If that were the case, it would be difficult for him to snatch him.
After all, such talent was extremely rare, and snatching him might even cause a real conflict.
‘It’s fine to just watch the excitement.’
The man in formal attire went about his own business.
Meanwhile, Li Yunbin led Bai Yu to the Spiritual Energy testing room.
Inside, there was a large blue Crystal.
It was three meters tall, reaching up to the ceiling.
Li Yunbin looked at Bai Yu and briefly explained, “This is a Spiritual Energy detection device. You just need to place your hand on the Crystal. You don’t need to do anything else; the Crystal will detect the Spiritual Energy flowing through your palm and estimate your internal Spiritual Energy value.”
“It’s somewhat similar to the principle of a pulse.”
Bai Yu had heard of such a thing in novels, but he hadn’t expected it to be so large.
Beside them, a member of the Ninth Group whispered, “Captain, this kid looks like a good prospect for the Qi Gathering Realm! Should we try to recruit him?”
“Recruit him for what! Do you really want to fight them?”
