Chapter 189 True Qi Protects the Body! (Please Subscribe)

"I wonder how many experience points this Qian Yuan Gong will consume."

Chen Fan muttered something to himself and invested some experience points.

The next moment, the proficiency of Qian Yuan Gong increased by one hundred and sixty percent.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes; this was even after a 20% reduction in experience points.

If 200 points are needed just to get started, then the experience points required to advance to the perfect level in one go are no small amount.

He added the remaining required experience points.

A warm current immediately flowed through my body.

Another memory has appeared in my mind.

However, Chen Fan frowned because he felt that the true energy in his body had not changed.

"Isn't it a mental cultivation method?"

With a question in mind, I looked at the skill bar.

[Qian Yuan Gong: Beginner Level (0%), Characteristic: Blood Nourishing Level 1]

"Nourishing the blood?"

Chen Fan was taken aback, recalling the warm current he had just experienced, which seemed to enhance his physical condition.

He clicked on it.

[Blood Nourishment: Permanently increases Constitution attribute by 30 points for each level gained]

"30 points in constitution..."

Chen Fan immediately took a deep breath.

Although 30 points is nothing to him with a physique of 6,000 or 7,000, the average martial artist in the Meridian Refining Realm might only have a physique of around 1000.

If trained to perfection, the level 5 Blood Nourishing trait can provide a 150-point bonus to Constitution attribute.

For ordinary martial artists who cultivate meridians, this is an improvement of more than one-tenth.

"As expected of a martial art that can only be practiced by a martial artist in the Meridian Refining Realm, the attribute bonuses from just the entry level exceed those of most martial arts in the Entry Level."

Chen Fan sighed.

Although I haven't unlocked the characteristics related to true qi since I started learning, I suppose reaching the minor achievement level is enough?

He invested some experience points, and as expected, this time he needed 320 experience points.

The moment the experience points were added, he felt an extra strand of true energy within his body, which immediately made him open his eyes wide and reveal a look of surprise on his face.

Previously, due to the Chong meridian, the true qi in the body had been depleted.

But now, several streams of true energy have appeared out of nowhere within my meridians.

The answer to how they came to be is not hard to guess.

[Qian Yuan Gong: Slightly Successful (0%), Characteristics: Blood Nourishment Level 2, Qi Nourishment Level 1, Breath Regulation Level 1]

"Two characteristics?"

Chen Fan was somewhat surprised, but his gaze immediately fell on the first one.

His intuition told him that the changes in the body's internal energy were related to this characteristic.

[Qi Cultivation: For each level the skill is upgraded, a certain amount of True Qi is additionally increased, the increase being one-tenth of the original True Qi.]

It does indeed increase the value of true qi, but the words "original true qi" left Chen Fan somewhat confused.

However, when he saw the True Qi section, he thought about it for a moment and immediately understood.

True Qi: 15.8/158 (+10%)

The +10% in parentheses is clearly the boost from the level 1 Qi Nourishing characteristic.

The 158 points of true qi value refers to the original true qi, not the total amount of true qi.

158 multiplied by 1.1 equals the total amount of true qi in his body.

The 15.8 mentioned earlier matches exactly with the extra true energy that suddenly appeared in his body.

Chen Fan's hands were trembling with excitement.

Previously, he guessed that the increase in true qi brought about by the cultivation method might be a fixed number of points or a fixed percentage.

A fixed number of points, so you can practice whenever you want.

However, if the proportion is fixed, the order of events must be carefully considered.

To his utter surprise, the actual improvement was not one of these two, but rather a proportional increase based on the original true qi.

For example, if his current internal energy is only 158 points, then the first-level Qi Nourishing characteristic can only be increased by 15.8.

However, if he opens up a meridian and his original true qi rises to 300, then his first-level qi-cultivation characteristic can be increased by 30 points.

Similarly, if one has 1000 points of original true energy, the bonus would be 300 points.

The higher the value, the greater the increase.

Undoubtedly, this is the best-case scenario. He no longer needs to worry about the cost-effectiveness and can directly raise the Qian Yuan Gong to its perfect state.

"From this perspective, the amount of true qi in a martial artist's body is affected by two factors: one is the original true qi, and the other is the true qi enhancement."

The original true energy likely has an upper limit, since there are only eight extraordinary meridians, and it seems there is no other way to increase it.

As for the boost from true qi, naturally, the higher the cultivation level and the more advanced the cultivation method, the greater the boost.

Chen Fan pondered.

As for whether the effects of cultivating multiple mental techniques can be stacked, he was unsure and could only wait and observe.

His gaze shifted back, landing on the second feature that had been unlocked.

Adjust your breathing.

You can tell what the effect is just by looking at it.

[Meditation: Active skill. When activated, it consumes double the mental energy. During its duration, the recovery speed of true qi is doubled. For each level increase, the mental energy consumption and true qi recovery speed are further doubled. The mental energy consumption rate can be freely controlled. Note: You cannot move while in meditation.]

"Doubles the speed of true qi recovery."

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, as he had no idea how fast his internal energy was recovering.

In that case, let's give it a try.

Following his memory, he sat cross-legged and activated his breathing technique.

Apart from feeling my mental energy slowly draining away, I didn't notice any other changes.

A minute later, Chen Fan felt a wisp of true energy appear within his body!

He quickly looked at the panel.

True Qi: 15.9/158 (+10%)

Yes, the amount of internal energy in my body has increased from 15.8 to 15.9.

"So, without using breath control, the recovery rate of my internal energy is 1 point every two minutes?"

Chen Fan was startled.

I glanced at my total Qi, it was around 170 points.

If we calculate based on one point every two minutes, it would take 340 minutes to fully recover, which is six or seven hours.

If the total amount of true qi reaches seven or eight hundred points, it will take a whole day.

Chen Fan looked at the breathing regulation characteristic again and suddenly felt that this characteristic was very strong!

Based on his current internal energy, a level 1 meditation session would only take a little over three hours to fully recover.

If it's a level 2 meditation, it takes one and a half hours.

Level 3 breath adjustment, 45 minutes.

Of course, in return, mental energy will be consumed at three times the rate.

just,

What he has in abundance right now is mental strength.

Therefore, while other martial artists may have reached a certain level in their mental cultivation, they still worry about the speed at which their mental energy is consumed and can only recover their true energy at twice the speed, he can maximize the recovery speed.

"Having strong mental power is a good thing."

A smile appeared on Chen Fan's face.

Nowadays, the potential points required for physical enhancement are too many, and unless it's a breakthrough in a minor realm, there's no effect of maximizing one's condition, which is equivalent to losing a trump card.

Fortunately, his mental strength was strong, which allowed his true energy to recover much faster than that of ordinary martial artists, saving him a lot of time.

"Nourishing blood, nourishing qi, regulating breath... I wonder what the fourth characteristic will be?"

Chen Fan's anticipation grew stronger.

This time, it took him 640 experience points to raise his cultivation level.

Another layer of true energy appeared within his body.

A faint warm current flowed through my body.

Unfortunately, no new features were unlocked.

[Qian Yuan Gong: Advanced Level (0%), Characteristics: Blood Nourishment Level 3, Qi Nourishment Level 2, Breath Regulation Level 2]

Chen Fan glanced at his remaining experience points; there were 3080 left. He figured it was unrealistic to raise his cultivation technique to the perfect level.

After consuming 1280 experience points, a strange feeling welled up in my heart.

[Qian Yuan Gong: Great Success (0%), Characteristics: Blood Nourishment Level 4, Qi Nourishment Level 3, Breath Regulation Level 3, Body Protection Level 1]

[Body Protection: Active skill. When activated, it consumes True Qi to act on the body's surface, doubling the physical defense. The more True Qi consumed, the larger the defensive area. For each level the skill is upgraded, the physical defense is doubled again.]

Chen Fan was somewhat surprised to see this skill.

This is somewhat similar to body-refining techniques, but it is also different, or rather, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, the scope is not large.

For example, its invulnerability to knives and bullets can cover the entire body, including vital areas.

This protective barrier can only cover a small area, a difference of thousands or even tens of thousands of times!

However, the protective effect is even stronger. The area covered by true qi can increase physical defense by 100%. Such a high effect is even better than level three invulnerability.

In addition, for each level the skill is upgraded, physical defense is doubled! That's equivalent to seven times the invulnerability trait.

Most importantly, it wasn't mentioned later that the consumption of true energy would double, which is quite exaggerated.

The same amount of true energy can produce twice the effect.

"Is this the power of true qi?"

Chen Fan muttered something to himself.

It may appear that the protective range is limited, but in reality, it is limitless.

Theoretically, if one has enough internal energy, it can completely envelop the entire body.

Out of curiosity, he tried it out and found that one point of true qi could only protect an area of ​​1 square centimeter.

One hundred points, or ten strands of true energy, are needed to protect an area the size of a palm.

If we calculate based on the average person's surface area being 1.6 square meters, then to protect the entire body, it would require at least 16000 points of true qi.

"More than 10,000 points of true qi is not an easy thing for me to achieve even now."

Chen Fan wondered if those martial artists in the late stage of Qi Refining had that much true Qi in their bodies.

Of course, in a real battle, covering the entire body with true energy might be a waste.

As long as the vital organs are protected, that's fine.

Moreover, this is a mental cultivation technique, and for a mental cultivation technique to have this level of defensive power is quite impressive.

Chen Fan tentatively added a little more experience points, and after seeing the increase in proficiency, a wry smile appeared on his face.

really,

To reach the Perfect Realm, you need 2560 experience points.

Only 1799 experience points remain.

"This cultivation technique consumes a lot of experience points."

He exclaimed, "It adds up to nearly 5000 points."

It is estimated that among all martial arts, this is the most difficult to master.

With over a thousand experience points remaining, he naturally didn't intend to leave them unused. Since he couldn't max out his inner cultivation technique, he would put them into his martial arts.

He couldn't wait to see what kind of effect martial arts would have with the enhancement of true qi.
