Swallowing the Starry Sky: Qin Feng
Chapter 16 Pharmacist Basics
"Qin Feng, the reason I'm introducing all this to you today is simply to tell you that everything here will belong to you from now on. It's not about making you start learning any profound secret techniques right now. You're still at the planetary level, and your path as a martial artist has only just begun. The most important thing now is to lay a perfect foundation, do your best to increase your power multiplier, enhance your consciousness, and learn swordsmanship. If your talent is strong enough, you can try to work towards the domain direction."
In other words, the basic secret manual you are currently cultivating is sufficient to prevent you from learning any new secret techniques before you come into contact with the laws. If you want to evolve quickly with the help of energy fluid, then your foundation must be solid; otherwise, if your foundation is unstable, you may never be able to break through to the Hengxing level in your lifetime.
"Brother Monkey, I know. I know what I'm doing and won't do anything reckless."
"It's not that I won't let you learn, but there are thousands of secret techniques here. How many can you possibly learn? These secret techniques can only be fully realized when you become truly powerful and begin to create your own secret techniques."
As for the thousands of Venerable-level secret techniques on the ninth floor, you'll only be qualified to look at them after you truly enter the Immortal realm. No need to rush.
"Don't worry! Although I want to become stronger as soon as possible, I won't be overly ambitious. Brother Monkey, didn't you say you would pass on the alchemist's manual to me?"
"It's good that you know what's going on. As for the apothecary's manual, I will directly use my special ability to connect with your soul data. This way, you can instantly memorize the knowledge that would otherwise take a lot of time to memorize. After that, you just need to go through what you've memorized little by little and understand it thoroughly. This will save you decades of hard work."
After saying that, with a wave of his hand, a ball of light slowly flew towards him. Knowing his special ability, Qin Feng did not resist and let the ball of light merge into his sea of consciousness. Instantly, it felt as if his brain had been stuffed with a lump of paste. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes briefly lost focus. After an unknown amount of time, Qin Feng rubbed his forehead and felt as if he had been pulled out of the water, his whole body drenched in sweat.
"Brother Monkey, you didn't say this thing was this painful!"
"Hehe! Kid, you should be content. Your current suffering is only temporary. You'll thank me later! The most troublesome part of being a pharmacist is accumulating knowledge, just like traditional Chinese medicine on Earth. Before learning to treat illnesses, you have to study medical books thoroughly. Otherwise, you won't even recognize the herbs, so what illness can you treat? You can think of the pharmacist profession as a super version of traditional Chinese medicine. The universe is so vast. How many kinds of plant materials are there? How many kinds of monster materials are there? How many kinds of treasures do pharmacists need? Can you imagine how much time it would take if you had to memorize them all by yourself?"
Ouch! "Emma, I was naive. I oversimplified things. If becoming a pharmacist means becoming a bookworm with books all day, then I'd rather endure the pain."
"You think a little pain is enough? It's not that easy. Your strength is too low and your awareness is too weak. I don't dare to impart too much knowledge to you at once. Right now, what you remember in your mind is just a drop in the ocean, the most basic part. If you want to continue to study in depth in the future, you will probably have to suffer many more times."
"Damn it! These days, no job is easy! I thought these support professions would be easier, but I didn't expect them to be just as easy as comprehending the laws."
"The starting points of all paths in the world may be different, but the destinations are absolutely the same: the higher you go, the more difficult the path becomes. There is no path that is always smooth sailing."
"Who can argue with that?"
As Qin Feng scanned the vast amount of knowledge in his mind, his head began to ache again. He had never been a top student since childhood, only slightly better than a slacker. He thought to himself that he should leave this kind of learning to his clone. He believed that with the tenfold boost in comprehension, the clone's efficiency would not be slow. He should just focus on cultivating and wait for the shared memories.
It's best to learn how to make bloodline potions as soon as possible. Everything else can wait, but the Earthlings' terrible bloodline must be dealt with quickly. Right now, at low levels, energy liquids can speed up evolution, but at higher levels, energy liquids may not be very useful.
The two who had completed the handover of the Tower of Inheritance did not linger there. The monkey went back to tinkering with his weapon forging, while Qin Feng reappeared in front of his clone in the Origin Space.
"Have you received all the knowledge you just learned?"
"Hmm! I just glanced at it, and it really is exaggerated."
"From now on, you'll be in charge of learning pharmacist-related knowledge, and I'll be in charge of martial arts training. Is that alright?"
"Sigh! Did I even have a choice? What a tragedy!"
Qin Feng patted his clone's shoulder and looked at him with pity, saying, "Good luck! I have to go out again. Jin Yu hasn't eaten for two days since I came back with him. I need to take him to the wilderness outside Yangzhou City to find food, and also catch some monsters to keep in my world ring so I don't have to go back and forth again. I forgot about it when I came back in such a hurry."
"Get lost! It's just studying, right? It's not like we haven't studied before. At worst, we'll just treat it as preparing for the college entrance exam again!"
Returning to the cultivation room and stepping out of the manor, I watched as a golden light streaked across the sky at breakneck speed, accompanied by a series of ear-piercing sonic booms. This guy has been practicing a flight technique for two days and still hasn't even scratched the surface. It seems that although his bloodline level is higher than mine, his comprehension isn't any better.
Sensing Qin Feng's appearance, a golden light flashed, and Jin Yu landed in front of him, its huge head rubbing against him. Qin Feng patted its neck and said, "You haven't eaten for two days either. I'll take you outside Yangzhou City later. I'll temporarily retrieve the mark on the World Ring and give it to you to use. Wear the ring and go to City 003 to catch some monsters and raise them there. That way, you won't go hungry even if you cultivate in the small world. You're a mature eagle now, so you need to learn to solve your own food problems."
"Okay, boss."
"How's your training in the flight technique coming along?"
"I haven't even started yet, because I've never been exposed to esoteric techniques before, and I'm still getting used to it, but I should be getting started soon."
"Alright! Don't rush, let's take it one step at a time. First, learn the flying technique. Speed is your strength, and after learning the flying technique, you'll be even faster. Then, learn the combat technique. Your foundation is too weak, so now is the perfect time to make up for it. Once your foundation is solid, I'll help you break through to the next level."
"Okay, boss."
"You continue your cultivation. I'll go out first and release you outside Yangzhou City to avoid causing panic."
After leaving the World Ring, Qin Feng changed into his 7th-series combat suit and battle sword, which he hadn't had time to change yet. He walked out of Mingyue Community alone and headed towards Yangzhou Railway Station. He boarded the train and arrived at the familiar Northern Military Region. Without lingering, he crossed the gate of the military region and walked along the dilapidated ring road for a while before stopping. The miniature planet in his dantian rotated slightly, releasing a small magnetic field that counteracted the Earth's gravity. His body slowly levitated and flew several hundred meters into the air. Controlling the magnetic field, he accelerated forward, and Qin Feng's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Is this what flying feels like? Qin Feng, flying in the air, carefully experienced this feeling. It was not bad, but the speed was too slow. The magnetic field and the propulsion of the genetic energy only reached one thousand meters per second, which was not even as fast as when he was an apprentice at level 8 running on the ground. You should know that when Qin Feng was an apprentice at level 8, his basic speed was 460 meters per second. With the speed amplitude of 9 times the force, he was several times faster than now. It seems that he needs to learn the secret technique of flight. In the basic movement technique he was learning, speed was divided into movement techniques and flight secret techniques. He hadn't learned it before because he couldn't fly, but now the conditions were met.
Not long after arriving at City 003, Qin Feng handed the World Ring to Jin Yu, letting him go and catch monsters on his own. He then entered the training room to begin practicing the Flight Secret Technique for the first time. The so-called Flight Secret Technique is a secret method that integrates and utilizes the body's power, genetic primal force, and the magnetic field force inherent in planetary-level beings.
Although planetary-level beings possess magnetic field power that can counteract gravity and allow them to float in the air, if a person is floating in the air without a point of leverage, no matter how high the force multiplier or how fast the speed amplitude, it cannot be fully utilized. However, if the speed amplitude of the force is combined with the magnetic field, and supplemented by the driving force of the genetic energy itself, then the result of the sum of the three is greater than three, and the flight speed increases dramatically.
It sounds simple, but achieving a harmonious and unified integration of the three is incredibly difficult. Although they are all one's own power, one uses them instinctively, without needing to multitask as exaggeratedly as trying to do three things at once, it is still extremely energy-consuming. Using one ability alone is fine, but whenever all three are used together, coordination errors are always likely to occur. It's like a person who is used to walking on two legs suddenly becoming a three-legged person, who will easily trip and fall. What he needs to do is to practice continuously according to the secret method, training his three legs to be able to run and jump like two legs, without falling down, and at the same time, to unleash even greater speed. Only then can he be considered to have successfully learned the secret method of flight.
Inside the gravity training chamber, Qin Feng stumbled and fell under the influence of gravity, sometimes stopping to adjust, and sometimes falling to the ground in a sorry state because he couldn't stop in time due to his high speed. After several attempts, Qin Feng had to give up the gravity chamber and enter the Origin Space to cultivate. This was partly due to the boost to his comprehension, and partly because the thousands of times gravity in the training chamber was not very friendly to him as he was just starting to cultivate the secret technique of flight.
Therefore, Qin Feng decided to first learn the skill under normal gravity conditions in the Origin Space, and then increase the difficulty for himself in the Gravity Chamber.
Immersed in cultivation until the third day, Qin Feng, flying freely and constantly increasing his speed in the Origin Space, had reached a top speed of over 2000 meters per second. With the tenfold boost to his comprehension in the Origin Space, he had officially mastered the secret technique of flight in just three days, doubling his top speed. This was before he had fully integrated the speed increase from the force amplitude. When he completely merged the three elements into one, his speed would experience an explosive increase.
However, that's not a task that can be completed in a short time. It requires constant and repeated practice until one day everything becomes instinctive, without needing to be consciously maintained, and you can output steadily subconsciously in any situation. Only then can you be considered to have truly mastered the secret technique.
It's time to go out. Jin Yu has probably caught countless monsters in the past three days, and he's also starving. He's been living on energy liquids for the past three days. He drinks energy liquids when he's thirsty, tired, or sleepy. After he's full, he uses it up through continuous cultivation, and then drinks it again, keeping his body in a state of energy saturation at all times. This makes his evolution very fast, but it's a bit too much for him psychologically.
Returning to the world ring and sensing the thousands of new life forms within the small world, Qin Feng was somewhat astonished. In just three days, this guy had captured thousands of monsters. At this moment, Jin Yu was also practicing his flying techniques in the sky above the small world. After studying for more than five days, this guy had finally grasped the basics. Judging from the current situation, there was still much to learn, but it was already quite good. If he could barely grasp the basics in five days, then he might be able to fully master them in one or two months. Even without the tenfold increase in comprehension, he wasn't much worse than Qin Feng. Moreover, this guy was very diligent. Perhaps it was the values Qin Feng had passed on to him through the Beast Taming Seal he had condensed that influenced him! It made his personality somewhat like Qin Feng's, and he cultivated with a frenzy.
To be honest, Qin Feng was a little hesitant at this moment. He was wondering whether he should throw Jin Yu into the Origin Space to cultivate.
As a monster native to Earth, Jin Yu can actually be considered a member of the demon beast race. With his potential, he is not quite qualified to be cultivated as a true lifelong battle partner. In the future, when we enter the universe, we can easily find those with higher potential than him, such as cultivating plant life forms like the Demon Cloud Vine or metal life forms like Luo Feng. Although those things are also very expensive to cultivate, at least they have the hope of breaking through to immortality. As for Jin Yu, without any special encounters, even with my help, he may not be able to break through to immortality. In that case, all my initial investments would be wasted.
This is a reality we have to face. In this world of geniuses, mediocre people are so pathetic. If I didn't have the Origin Pearl, even if I regained my memories, I wouldn't be able to turn things around!
Unbeknownst to them, Jin Yu, who had already arrived above Qin Feng, saw him deep in thought and slowly slowed down, gently landing beside him without disturbing his contemplation. He waited quietly to the side. In fact, although the intelligence of monsters is no less than that of humans, they have not received systematic training from childhood and have only grown up instinctively fighting in the wilderness, so their minds are not complicated.
Jin Yu was a special case. The common sense that Qin Feng passed on to him had a profound impact on him. Even Qin Feng himself did not notice that, as a transmigrator, his subconscious desire to be extraordinary, to reach the peak, to ascend to the cosmic sea, and to meet the myriad races of the universe had been deeply engraved in his heart. He was willing to cultivate day and night and push himself to the limit for this.
Jin Yu was also somewhat affected. Although he wasn't as obsessed as Qin Feng, he still longed to become stronger. Otherwise, as a monster, wouldn't it be better to just eat and sleep all day like before? Why would he be so diligent in his cultivation? It can be said that among the monsters on Earth, none of them cultivate as hard.
