Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 25 The Thread of Life
Zhou Qing began to think about the possibility of competing for the position of eldest senior brother.

First of all, the benefits of being the eldest brother are self-evident.

The sect's stronger support and the ability to enjoy the treatment of an entry-level disciple in advance can greatly increase his cultivation speed.

Compared to ordinary people, cultivators of immortality can naturally be said to have long lives, but compared to the goal of cultivating immortality, their lifespan is far from enough.

As we all know, a basic contradiction in the life of an immortal cultivator is the contradiction between the slow improvement of realm and the rapid passage of life.

Therefore, for cultivators, any opportunity to increase the speed of cultivation is rare.

The only question is, can he win this position?
Although his cultivation speed was not equivalent to only one spiritual root as Wei Xu and the other two thought, but was equivalent to four spiritual roots, the gap with Wei Kuang's sixteen spiritual roots was still too big.

Although his cultivation speed will become faster as his magnetic field ability improves, it is still unlikely for him to reach Wei Kuang's level in just three months.

What's more, even if his cultivation speed could surpass Wei Kuang's, he couldn't show it.

So far, the only talent he has shown is in his understanding.

There is no standard to measure whether one's talent for comprehension is strong or weak. There is no harm in him showing off a little, it will only make the sect pay more attention to him.

But the spiritual roots and talents are different.

The spiritual root he recorded in the book was only one spiritual root. This kind of thing is innate. If he suddenly showed a cultivation speed far beyond that of a single spiritual root, it would be difficult to explain.

This one point alone determined that he must not display too high a level of cultivation in the next three months.

Zhou Qing secretly shook his head with regret.

It seemed he had to give up this opportunity.

It is important to fight for cultivation resources, but hiding your own secrets is the most important thing.

He smiled and said, "If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, it's my fate. Let him be."

Seeing that Zhou Qing did not seem to be affected and did not become depressed, Wei Xu and others were happy for him and admired him even more.

Wei Xu said, "Brother Zhou's unrestrained and tenacious character truly puts us to shame."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Alright, stop flattering me. I know why Xiaohu is here, but why are you two here?"

When he asked about their purpose, Wei Xu and Nie Yunxi suddenly became embarrassed.

Wei Xu said shyly, "It seems Miss Nie and I have the same plan. Why don't you let Miss Nie speak?"

Nie Yunxi pondered for a moment, then said, "Actually, I want to ask Senior Brother to protect me so that I can sense spiritual energy."

"I want to be able to sense the spiritual energy as quickly as possible, and then ask my uncle for a training method."

She looked a little embarrassed.

This request was really presumptuous. If the time for sensing spiritual energy was too short, it would have little effect. But if the time was too long, it would disturb Zhou Qing too much.

Feeling sorry, Nie Yunxi quickly added, "I'm willing to compensate you with spirit stones for wasting your time."

Zhou Qing was surprised and asked, "You have spirit stones?"

He had always heard that spirit stones were the main resource for cultivators, but he had never seen one.

Nie Yunxi explained, "After three months, when all the disciples have successfully completed the Circulation of the Heavenly Qi, the sect will provide registered disciples with three low-grade spirit stones each month. In addition, disciples can accept missions from the sect, and the rewards they receive can also be converted into spirit stones."

It turned out to be the case.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "You want to become proficient in sensing spiritual energy as soon as possible so that you can speed up your cultivation progress. But if you compensate me with spiritual stones, won't that also slow down my cultivation speed?"

Nie Yunxi blushed slightly as she said, "I can sense the spiritual energy and practice the skills sooner. Perhaps I can leave a good impression on my uncle and have an easier time in the sect in the future."

The Qingyun Sect didn't have a fixed master-disciple relationship. Although there were elders and deacons in the Transmission Hall who were responsible for answering questions for disciples, people tended to have their own preferences. If one could establish a friendly relationship with a question-answering master, they would naturally have an advantage during their training. Speaking of this, the three of them couldn't help but look at Zhou Qing with envy.

This guy doesn't have to think about this kind of thing at all. He doesn't even have to bother to understand the various mundane affairs of the sect. Uncle Chen will naturally fight for him.

Such is the privilege of genius.

Others can't envy it.

Zhou Qing smiled and nodded, saying, "Just come to me every night at midnight."

"As for compensation with spirit stones, never mention it again. We came to Yiyunzhou City together, and we will support each other in the world of cultivation in the future. Saying such things is too awkward."

This is really like someone giving you a pillow when you are sleepy.

He was just worried that no one would let him study the method of shocking the mind, and these three people came to him.

The three of them went to his house every night to sense the spiritual energy. There was no teacher to restrain them, and the time was long enough. It was really perfect.

Of course, he wouldn't use the three of them as experiments and actually shock their minds with magnetic fields, but the results of all the observations and analyses were enough to give him accurate data to determine the extent of his magnetic field.

Nie Yunxi and the other two were all delighted and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Zhou Qing smiled and let the three of them into the yard.

Seeing the ruins in the yard, the three of them were a little puzzled.

Zhou Qing's mind moved, and he asked, "It's collapsed due to years of disrepair. I was thinking of asking the sect for some ironwork to repair it. Who should I contact?"

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "Why do you need to do it yourself? The sect servants will check each courtyard every day. You just need to post a piece of paper at the door with your requirements on it, and the servants will naturally come to repair it at your request."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Building a house by yourself is also a kind of fun."

As they were talking, the three of them had already arrived in the living room.

Nie Yunxi and the other two sat cross-legged in the living room, sensing the spiritual energy.

Seeing that the three people had entered a state of tranquility, Zhou Qing immediately turned on the magnetic field and sensed the electromagnetic signals from them.

The electromagnetic signals in the human body come from the electrochemical reactions of the human body.

Any human activity is inseparable from electrochemical reactions.

When a thought arises in his mind, when his eyes see something, or when he moves his hands or feet, it is inseparable from the release of chemical substances between nerves and the transmission of electrical signals.

The superposition of all these electrical signals forms the overall electromagnetic signal of the human body.

Zhou Qing's control over the magnetic field is not yet sophisticated enough to accurately grasp all the electrical signals of the human body, and can only form an overall feeling.

He closed his eyes to reduce visual interference and used the magnetic field purely to sense the situation of the three people.

He felt that the three of them were like a galaxy composed of countless tiny stars.

These tiny stars are the tiny electrical signals on their bodies, and the galaxy is the electromagnetic state they display as a whole.

Zhou Qing's consciousness moved slightly, and the galaxy quickly moved away and shrank, just as his perspective was rapidly zooming out.

In the end, the galaxy turned into a thin thread.

Zhou Qing touched one of the silk threads with his invisible magnetic field hand. He felt that if he applied a little force, he could break the thread.

This thread is the lifeline of a person, and he is now holding this thread in his "hand".
