Then all my cultivation as an immortal has been for nothing?

Chapter 16 The First Supernatural Power

At this moment, Wang Yi seemed to have gained another sense.

It was this extra sense that his brain was completely unable to adapt, causing him to experience motion sickness-like symptoms.

This new sensory experience made Wang Yi feel as if he were underwater, causing him to feel a constant sense of suffocation, but this was not real; he was breathing smoothly.

Wang Yi closed his eyes, but the feeling of sinking into the water became even stronger. It only subsided slightly after he opened his eyes and saw everything around him.

He speculated that the brain might habitually trust vision more than the suddenly added senses.

Elsa came over and helped Wang Yi up: "What's wrong with you? I've never heard of someone falling to the ground while masturbating."

It depends on what kind of handgun you're firing; firing too much of that kind might actually make you faint.

At this moment, Wang Yi's brain showed amazing adaptability and gradually regained its balance—although he was still slightly dizzy, he was able to stand up on his own.

So Wang Yi gestured to Elsa, "Alright, you don't need to support me anymore."

"You should sit down over there. I'll take care of this." With that, Elsa said "Hi" and hoisted Wang Yi onto her shoulder.

Yes, she hoisted Wang Yi over her head like a barbell, ran to the chair, and threw him onto it with a thud.

"Oh! Damn it!" Wang Yi cried out in pain, curled up, rolled off the chair, and curled up into a ball on the ground.

Elsa's voice reached Wang Yi's ears: "I was careful when I threw it, it didn't hit yours, so why are you yelling so loudly?"

"You almost broke my back!"

"Hmm, really weak. No wonder you have a physique of 0.3. You bean sprout are destined to be slapped in half by a demonic cultivator in the future."

Wang Yi originally wanted to study the senses he had just gained, but when he heard Elsa say this, he couldn't help but retort: ​​"Even a constitution of 30 can't stand being thrown around like this, okay? They'll scream too."

"No way, they can break a chair and make a dent in the ground, but they'll be completely unharmed."

Oh, is that so? Then I was ignorant.

Wang Yi stopped arguing.

However, thanks to Elsa's rough handling, Wang Yi's attention was diverted, and his dizziness was greatly reduced.

So he finally began to ponder what exactly the ability he had just acquired was.

First, one thing is certain: this ability was gained by defeating enough Graywing Bats to complete the pattern on the wrist.

Then it's a sensory perception, at least that's Wang Yi's judgment at this stage.

At first, this sensation made Wang Yi feel like he was completely submerged in water. Now, with the aid of his vision, the feeling of drowning subsided, and instead, it felt like a light veil or a mist was enveloping Wang Yi.

What exactly is this fog?
Wang Yi thought for a while but still didn't quite understand.

He decided to close his eyes first—since sight can weaken the presence of this sense, closing his eyes should conversely enhance it.

After closing my eyes, the feeling of being surrounded by water became even stronger.

Wang Yi repeatedly told himself that this was not drowning, there was no water around, and the feeling of difficulty breathing was fake, an illusion.

Just then, he heard Elsa say, "Are you alright? Shall I help you to the medical department?"

"No, no need!" Wang Yi said loudly. What if the Department of Medicine finds something wrong? I don't want to end up in the research institute as a research subject.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that in his new senses, there was something moving floating nearby, its spatial location overlapping with Elsa's voice.

He opened his eyes and, unsurprisingly, saw Elsa.

He closed his eyes again and could feel the water flowing.
Suddenly, Wang Yi had a flash of inspiration and closed his eyes to focus his attention on himself.

Sure enough, in his new senses, something was moving around him, and upon closer inspection, he could confirm that its trajectory passed right through his dantian.

Clearly, what Wang Yi sensed was qi.

As for why eliminating a sufficient number of Graywing Bats would grant the ability to sense Qi, Wang Yi considered one possibility.

At this point, Elsa was still asking, "Should I contact the Medical Department—"

Wang Yi: "Can the Gray-winged Bat sense qi?"

"Yes, many monsters can sense qi, but the Gray-winged Bat is particularly sensitive to qi. Ecological studies suggest that their eyesight has deteriorated, and they rely entirely on sensing qi to perceive their surroundings."

So that explains why these guys don't dodge bullets at all; they can't sense the air in the bullets.

When they were first shot, these guys knew their comrades were being killed, but they didn't know what was killing them, so they frantically rushed towards any potential threats in their vicinity.

Wang Yi opened his eyes. At this moment, he was more adapted to the new senses and stood up unsteadily.

“Why don’t you sit down for a while?” Elsa said. “Why are you suddenly asking about the ecology of the gray-winged bats?”

Wang Yi pretended not to hear the question, since it would be quite troublesome to explain. He continued, "Then is there a faint gas around us right now?"

"This place is located above the largest ley line in the south, and it is also under the Flame Crystal Fire Cauldron. The concentration of Qi here is indeed slightly higher than in other places."

After Elsa finished speaking, Wang Yi suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Then can we absorb the air from the atmosphere and use it for ourselves?"

"You mean breathing exercises?" Elsa looked around. "Breathing exercises are too inefficient. In fact, breathing exercises are not suitable for the human dimension protected by the Nine Cauldrons Barrier. You can practice breathing exercises in the animal realm more efficiently than here."

Wang Yi silently memorized this: the human dimension is not suitable for breathing exercises. He immediately had a new question: "Since the entire human dimension is not suitable for breathing exercises to absorb the naturally existing Qi between heaven and earth, where do cultivators get their Qi?"

“It’s generated by itself.” Elsa spread her hands. “Cultivation novels always talk about the essence of the sun and moon, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but that’s just insurance to keep ordinary people away from the real world of cultivation. In fact, in addition to the naturally existing energy, the human soul can also generate energy, and people with spiritual roots generate even more.”

Just as Wang Yi was about to comment, Elsa changed the subject: "And you, with only a spiritual root of 22, means your ability to generate Qi is very low—ah, you didn't choose the Nine Transformations Heavenly Record because of this, did you? To make up for your Qi generation?"

Wang Yi: "I only found out about this now. How could I possibly choose a cultivation technique yesterday? I was simply misled by the description of the technique."

Actually, it's for automatic battery refilling.

He glanced discreetly at the battery icon on his hand, confirming that the charging percentage was still increasing, but the three dots in the middle hadn't disappeared, and he still didn't know how many decimal places it was.

He turned his attention back to himself, using his newly acquired senses to feel the energy in his body, feeling it slowly passing through his dantian.

Then he turned to Elsa and looked at the much more abundant breath returning to her.

Wang Yi: "Now that you've lost your demon core and the ability to cast spells, is your internal energy still functioning?"

"The cultivation body and the demon core have nothing to do with each other. We demons first have intelligence and a demon core before we start practicing, just like Sun Wukong in the story, who first transformed from a stone into a spirit monkey before going to Bodhi Patriarch to learn his skills. We skipped your Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages."

In other words, what Elsa is using is her own internal energy—

Ok?
Wang Yi recalled what Elsa had said: the so-called practice of qigong was that the automatic qigong machine guided the qi to circulate everywhere, and then he would feel the flow of qi and gradually learn how to practice qigong on his own.

Now that I can see how Elsa's energy circulates, can I learn her divine skills?
So Wang Yi asked, "If someone's perception is so keen that they can see how other people's qi circulates, can they steal other people's techniques?"

"Theoretically, it's possible, but I advise you not to try. One wrong step and you could go mad and become the kind of monster you've seen before."

It's possible to go astray in your cultivation, but as long as you carefully observe the flow of Qi, it's not impossible to learn from someone else.

However, for tomorrow's basic course, let's first use this ability to figure out how to operate the Nine Transformations Heavenly Record.

Wang Yi suddenly asked curiously, "Elsa, Master, am I currently activating my internal energy?"

“No.” Elsa squinted and looked him over. “There’s no energy circulating. You only have natural spiritual energy flowing through you. This is normal.”

Ok?
Wang Yi used his newly acquired senses to "see" himself. He could clearly see that there was Qi circulating within him, but it was very weak.

Just as he was wondering, Elsa's phone rang.

The wolf girl took it out and looked at it, then immediately cried out in despair, "Oh no! The last subway train has already left! We'll have to take a taxi back!"

Wang Yi: "Why do I have to go back? Can't I just find a sofa here, take a nap, and keep fighting tomorrow?"

Master, your disciple is so eager to improve! Please grant my request!
Elsa shook her head: "No, you newcomers are most likely to lose yourselves and become incomprehensible monsters, so you need real life to solidify your sense of self."

"It's like—yes, an anchor point. Your daily life in the ordinary world is your anchor point, which ensures that you maintain your human form."

Wang Yi: "What if there are no anchor points?"

"That would cause trouble for the field operations department."

Causing trouble? Is that all? We're so lame!

Wang Yi: "Okay, then let's go home—but what if Sister Wang downstairs has a crush on me?"

"That can also be one of your anchors. Don't worry, Jiuding will continuously correct her life back on track. If all else fails, there's also the field operations department."

This is going to cause trouble for the field operations department again!

Wang Yi: "Sister Wang keeps falling for me, but under the influence of the Nine Cauldrons, she forgets the feelings that arose from the supernatural. How can this serve as an anchor?"

“Idiot,” Elsa looked at Wang Yi, “you won’t be corrected. You’ll remember all those tender moments. If you want to refine Sister Wang, you have to get past your own hurdle. Doesn’t that anchor you?”

Hmm, is this how it's anchored?
"Let's go home with anticipation," Elsa stretched and raised her arms. "Maybe we'll run into your fantasy object!"

……

Unfortunately, when Wang Yi got home, he found that his sister was already home.

As I passed by her room 701, I could still hear the sound of a shower running inside.

Elsa: "Should we knock on her door and invite her to the rooftop for a drink? She'll definitely say yes!"

Wang Yi hesitated for a moment before replying, "They're taking a shower; it wouldn't be good to disturb them."

"Didn't you add her on WeChat? Go ahead and meet her on WeChat! This will help you establish a connection."

“Yesterday you clearly said this was the beginning of the downfall!” Wang Yi pointed out.

"The starting point and the anchor point of depravity are not contradictory; the key is your choice."

Wang Yi hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone and typed: "Sister Wang, I bought some chilled beer, peanuts, and edamame. Do you want to come to the rooftop and have a drink together later?"

Then he pressed the send button.

From the other side of the poorly soundproofed door, a WeChat notification sound came from.

"Who is it?" Wang Chengyan's voice could still be heard. "It's not work again, is it? Can you please not send me work messages after I've gotten home?"

"So she can complain like this too," Wang Yi thought, turning around and climbing the stairs leading to the rooftop.
