Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

"Okay, brother, you tell me." Little Fish sat up obediently.

"Besides me, can you absorb this kind of energy from anyone else?"

"No, only my brother has it."

"I see..." Ai Qing stroked her chin, thinking that it might not be true.

After all, Xiaoyu has only met a small number of people. Even if you include all the strangers she meets when she goes out, it's still just a tiny group of people.

There might not be a single person practicing Vajra Kung Fu among them.

How about we find someone to recommend Vajra Kung Fu, and then let Xiaoyu try absorbing other people's energy next time?

If Little Fish could absorb the power of everyone who practiced Vajra Kung Fu, wouldn't they all become Little Fish's portable power banks?

But if you can't, it means that your constitution is indeed quite special.

But if it's just that one person has a special constitution, then why did the little fish turn into a human?

Why not the mosquitoes, cockroaches, and ants from his own house?

Or maybe other cats can't absorb energy from him either?

"So, besides using this energy to transform and maintain your human form, do you have any other uses for it?"

“Yes.” Little Fish nodded repeatedly. “In the beginning, I used this energy to stuff it into my brain, to make my brain consume more energy, and slowly I was able to understand what my brother meant.”

"When I was studying before, my brain was slow, and I could only rely on energy consumption to understand new knowledge."

"Also, when playing games, I make sure my eyes and hands use more energy, which makes my reaction time and speed much faster."

Ai Qing: "...?"

Good guy.

So you were cheating last time you got that chicken dinner?

Or is it a cultivation cheat code?

They use bioenergy, while you use spiritual energy; they're not even in the same league. This is really unfair.

And it turns out that the reason I learned to speak was also because of this energy?

So, this thing is pretty versatile, huh?

"Can you use this energy on other people?" Ai Qing asked eagerly.

If Xiaoyu gave him a buff while he was writing, wouldn't he instantly become a literary giant?

"This doesn't seem likely." Xiaoyu reached out and touched Ai Qing's chest, muttering as she did so, "Or should I stick it to her skin?"

As she spoke, she reached her hand inside Ai Qing's collar.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Ai Qing quickly removed her little hand. "Watch your mouth, how can you touch me like that? You're touching my hand, isn't it skin too?"

"Oh, oh..." Xiaoyu withdrew her hand guiltily, placed it on Ai Qing's hand, and then shook her head, "No, it feels like once it gets on my hand, it won't come out."

“Okay.” Ai Qing looked disappointed.

But the next second, he thought of something else.

"Little fish".

"Ok?"

"Since you can transform into a human, why don't you practice the Vajra Kung Fu yourself? Maybe you could become self-sufficient?"

Chapter 117 The Efficacy of Vajra Skill

The Vajra Kung Fu is not difficult to learn.

In particular, Xiaoyu's body is very flexible, unlike Aiqing, who may not be able to perform some movements correctly.

Ai Qing found the free Vajra Kung Fu instructional video uploaded by the Taoist priest on her tablet, opened it, and placed it upright on the phone stand on the dining table.

Then he took Xiaoyu and stood in the living room, teaching her the basic movements one by one.

Perhaps it's because small fish have an innate ability to learn and adapt to these kinds of physical movements.

So Ai Qing only taught her the movements once, and then led her through them twice, and Xiaoyu almost learned them.

"Did you feel any energy being generated?" Ai Qing asked after she finished, seeing that her movements were standard.

The little fish stood still, blinked, and carefully sensed the surroundings before shaking its head: "No."

When I practiced Vajra Gong, I didn't experience any new warm current in my body; it was all being infused from Ai Qing.

but.

Just as Ai Qing was feeling somewhat disappointed, Xiao Yu added, "But it seems to have other uses as well."

"Hmm?" Ai Qing perked up and quickly asked, "What's it for?"

"Hmm..." Xiaoyu frowned, then said, "When I do the Vajra Kung Fu, I feel them flowing faster in my body, and it seems... I can control them better?"

If the little fish originally wanted to actively send the warm current to a certain part of its body for consumption, the speed and amount would be limited.

If her previous efforts to manage the warm currents were like riding a bicycle in a narrow alley, then...

When you practice Vajra Kung Fu, it's like driving a sports car on a highway.

"And... um..." Xiaoyu wasn't sure if her feeling was right, so she could only say vaguely, "I feel like I've been broadened."

"It's been widened?" Ai Qing was a little confused. "What do you mean?"

"It's like... when I used to absorb energy from my brother, this much would fill me up." Xiaoyu gestured and drew a circle in front of her chest. "If you hold back after it's full, the circle will slowly expand."

"If you don't hold it in, you'll turn into a human, and then the energy inside this circle will start to be consumed until it's all gone, at which point you'll turn back into a cat."

"But just now, the energy in my body clearly didn't fill this circle, yet the circle's area seemed to be slowly expanding."

Ai Qing: "...?"

Good grief, you've actually started cultivating here, huh?

Isn't this similar to the concept of the dantian and qi sea?

Previously, the little fish simply absorbed spiritual energy, and once it was full, it forcibly expanded its dantian.

Is this the most brutal and rudimentary way to improve one's cultivation?

If immortal cultivation truly exists in this world, perhaps this is the most primitive form of Qi cultivator?

There are no set rules for cultivation; you have to figure everything out step by step on your own. By chance, I learned how to absorb spiritual energy, but that's all I know.

The little fish who practiced the Vajra Skill was as if he had accidentally obtained a skill manual. He had a method to cultivate spiritual energy and could actively and gently expand his dantian, no longer needing to rely on such a crude method as before.

Moreover, having the cultivation method can enhance one's control over spiritual energy, ensuring that after absorbing it, one can still use it flexibly and effectively.

Xiaoyu had never read similar fantasy or martial arts works, so she didn't understand it and didn't know how to explain it clearly.

But just by hearing her description, Ai Qing instantly had a corresponding imagination and explanation.

He circled the little fish twice, marveling at it, and was quite excited, as if he were looking at a treasure.

"Brother... your eyes are a little scary." Xiaoyu took a half step back, feeling that Ai Qing was getting more and more agitated. "What's wrong with me?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Ai Qing waved her hands repeatedly. "This is a good thing. If it really works, then we'll get up early every day to do the Vajra Exercise and see if there are any other effects after a long time."

For the first time in her life, Ai Qing was so close to the world of cultivation. She felt like she was in a dream. She patted her face to make sure that she was in the real world and not in a dream.

Although it seems that I am just a spiritual energy charger now, when I do Vajra Kung Fu, I can only generate more spiritual energy for the little fish to absorb.

But if we persevere, things might turn around.

Moreover, this hands-on exploration also stirred a certain impulse within Ai Qing.

After confirming that Xiaoyu hadn't made any other discoveries for the time being, Ai Qing said, "You don't have any other feelings for now, right?"

"Okay." Little Fish nodded. "Do you want me to do it a few more times?"

"No need, we don't need to rush. Let's take it slow," Ai Qing said, shaking her head. "From now on, just do it twice every morning. Now, go about your business."

"Oh... okay." Little Fish's cat ears drooped down.

I guess I should just go study.

Ugh……

Following Ai Qing into the bedroom, Xiao Yu obediently sat down at the desk, took out the textbooks and exercise books from the bookshelf, and entered a state of study.

Ai Qing, on the other hand, couldn't wait to sit down at her computer, open the software she usually used to create outlines, and create a new document next to "My Childhood Sweetheart Will Turn into a Cat"—

Spiritual Energy Revival: My Cat Teaches Me Cultivation

The title is only tentative; let's start by making the most accurate summary based on the literal meaning so that it will be easier to remember.

Then he opened the document and wrote down all the inspiration he had gathered during his conversation with Xiaoyu.

He didn't really want to write about a world of fighting and killing after the revival of spiritual energy.

Previously, the online novels he had read on this theme were mostly about social disorder, where the protagonist secretly leveled up ahead of others, and then either became a lone wolf or joined an official organization, gradually developing into a world like the one in the movie "Urban Martial Arts".

But after discovering the true nature of the little fish, Ai Qing had a sudden inspiration.

The degree of spiritual energy revival is extremely slow and weak.

Even at the highest level, one can only run a little faster than an ordinary person, jump a little higher than an ordinary person, have a more agile reaction speed, and be able to do some special things by relying on spiritual energy.

However, their actual combat effectiveness is still inferior to that of modern armies and weapons.

It can offer some protection against bullets, but it cannot withstand all damage and will still be breached.

The overall social framework will not experience drastic fluctuations or changes as a result. Instead, within the existing social framework, those who have mastered spiritual energy will gradually emerge in various industries and even form new professions.

Reiki may become a specialized discipline, studied and developed to help society and the nation progress better.

The protagonist, being an ordinary person, is simply better at absorbing and using spiritual energy than others, thanks to his cheat-like abilities.

Ultimately, it's still a slice-of-life story. Although it has the background of spiritual energy revival, it's actually different from the leveling-up stories set in high-martial-art worlds.

Ai Qing stroked her chin and savored the sight, finding it quite interesting, and it happened to be something she was good at and liked.

Most importantly, he still has the little fish to provide him with real-world inspiration, a source of inspiration he can always draw from.

That's very convenient.
