There is a description in the magic book that all living things in the world have more or less the aura of heaven and earth. The living beings themselves are part of this world. They contain the aura of heaven and earth when they are alive, and return the aura to heaven and earth after they die. Ordinary people have aura.
, there are also animals, and there are also plants, but the amount is different. The aura of a world is the imprint of a creature born in this world, just like a baby has the blood inheritance of its parents, it is an imprint that cannot be changed throughout its life.
It's not like Xu Qian has never thought about plants in the past, but the amount is really small! The spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in a 20-meter-tall tree is not enough for him to practice meditation for an hour, but the flower
His strength was even more tiring than practicing for ten hours. Therefore, he really didn't think it was a good idea to attack plants.
Just think about it and you will know that if plants and animals are helpful to cultivation, in the world of the demon cultivator, wouldn't all the plants and animals be exterminated by the immortal cultivators?
Meditation practice to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the most basic and common way of cultivation, but how can immortal cultivators be satisfied with a single cultivation method? By quickly transforming a large amount of spiritual energy and integrating it into the sea of qi, you can quickly improve your cultivation and become a strong person in the world.
.
All things in the world, even dead objects, contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Some of them contain rich spiritual energy, which has become a shortcut pursued by immortal cultivators. For example, Star Source Stone is one of the most common cultivation resources. There are also some spiritual plants.
, the aura contained in it is hundreds of times richer than that of ordinary plants. If it can be made into elixirs,
It is more beneficial to cultivation. These are the most basic common sense in the world of immortal cultivation. Not to mention immortal cultivation, ordinary mortals know it, so the magic book will not record such superficial content, just like the teachers in school will not record it.
Dedicate a class to teach primary school students that everyone needs to breathe.
But Xu Qian lives in today's technologically advanced world. He has no way of knowing these common knowledge of cultivating immortals. He can only explore everything by himself. He knows about pills, but Star Source Stone is an extremely common cultivation resource in the world of cultivating immortals.
, this point is not mentioned in the grimoire.
"If I can get Lin Qiaoni's help and absorb the spiritual energy of her plants for a long time, I probably won't have to eat so much." Xu Qian had already guessed that he ate more because his body had too much demand for spiritual energy, mainly because of the
Refining the body requires a lot of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. The magic book also mentioned that using the magic book method to refine the body requires much more spiritual energy than simply cultivating immortals, so I need to rely on eating a lot to make up for the deficiency.
"But it is not mentioned in the magic book that other body-refining disciples also need to eat so much. Is it just not mentioned that in fact every body-refining demon cultivator is a big stomach eater?"
Xu Qian has thought many times about the discrepancies between his cultivation situation and the description in the grimoire. He is not sure whether it is his own problem or other reasons.
"I don't know what her plant power is exactly. It would be much easier if I could figure it out. When I come back from the Special Branch headquarters, I will try to find a way to talk to her. There is always a way to make her talk.
"." Xu Qian didn't think much and went to sleep to recharge his batteries.
Someone would come to pick Xu Qian up at dawn to take him to the airport. He and Han Qianqian agreed to go to the Special Branch headquarters the next day to identify the martial arts grade and sign an external martial arts agreement.
Just after dawn, a phone call came in.
"Is this Mr. Xu? I'm from the Nanhai Branch. The headquarters arranged for me to take you to the airport." A man's voice was respectful.
Xu Qian was already up, but he hadn't eaten yet. However, he didn't feel too hungry.
"Sure enough, as long as you have taken in enough spiritual energy before, your appetite will not be ridiculously large." He recalled that this happened three times in total, including swallowing the Qi Yuan Dan, using the Star Source Stone, and absorbing the supernatural plant last night.
After each of the three times, he only needs to eat like a normal person. If he really wants to eat a lot, he can even save it for the next meal.
Downstairs from the Piqiu Apartment, a black military-brand car had parked on the roadside. A man in a black suit stood in front of the car, with the same curly character "四" embroidered on his collar.
"Mr. Xu, please get in the car." This man was probably in his thirties, wearing a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he looked elegant.
"At least Han Qianqian made arrangements and didn't let the two people I beat up yesterday come over." Xu Qian thought to himself.
In fact, yesterday's conflict was completely unnecessary. The problem was that the two people were too domineering. It could also be that they were people from these two branches. They were used to doing things in this way. They didn't expect to encounter a tough guy like Xu Qian.
The boat capsized. Although it passed later, how could those two people really change their minds? If they were arranged to come to see Xu Qian off again, either Xu Qian would be uncomfortable, they would be uncomfortable, or both sides would be uncomfortable.
"Mr. Xu, my name is Ou Junpei. You can call me Xiao Ou. If nothing else happens, if you need to contact the branch for anything in the future, I will handle it." Ou Junpei got into the driver's seat and introduced himself.
Got up.
"Oh? Are you the contact person that Director Han said she arranged?" If it were someone else, a senior high school student would definitely feel weird calling a man in his thirties "Xiao Ou", but Xu Qian looks young.
, but he felt that he must be more than his apparent age, so he didn't feel anything wrong.
"I am from the Nanhai Branch, and my scope of work can only handle matters related to the branch. If you need to contact the headquarters, there should be other arrangements there. You should know when you arrive in the capital." Ou Junpei started.
The car started heading to the airport.
Xu Qian looked at the back of Ou Junpei's head and thought that since he had nothing to do all the way, he might as well ask Ou Junpei about the Special Branch.
"Why do all your cars have military license plates? The Special Branch is part of the military establishment?"
Every member of the Special Branch knows the confidentiality regulations by heart. Not to mention other things, even the words "Special Branch" cannot be said to outsiders, not even to family members. But Ou Junpei knows Xu Qian's identity, as long as it is not involved.
He could still answer the confidential content, but he had to take into account that Xu Qian had not signed the agreement at the moment, and strictly speaking he was not an external martial arts cultivator of the Special Branch, so when answering, Ou Junpei could only answer it by himself
measure.
"It's like this, Mr. Xu, our Special Branch is in a very special situation. We are who we are. Internally, the Special Branch is our identity. But externally, for the convenience of doing things, we will also use some public identities, such as the police.
Or military personnel, or even judicial personnel, as long as they have the required status, they can use it after asking for instructions from their superiors and getting approval."
He seems to be very powerful! Xu Qian has not been around much in society in the past few months, but reading books and surfing the Internet has allowed him to understand a lot of things. The most intuitive thing is that he has binge-watched hundreds of TV series, even though he is on
Watching at double speed is to quickly familiarize yourself with the social environment you are in. Everything in today's world is not in Xu Qian's memory.
So after hearing Ou Junpei's words, he could still feel that the Special Branch was indeed a very impressive department, but then again, it was a department specifically responsible for managing super humans. If they weren't awesome, who would be?
"If I need help when doing tasks in the future, I can ask you to help me, right?"
Ou Junpei smiled and said: "Of course that is. However, Mr. Xu, sometimes the branch will ask you for help."
Xu Qian asked doubtfully: "Can you please help me?"
"Yes, you can select tasks on the task system, but if there is a need for you within the jurisdiction of our Nanhai Branch, and you live in Nanhai City, we will naturally invite you to handle it first. For you
In other words, it’s just a local mission, and you don’t need to go anywhere else, so it’s a win-win situation!”
Xu Qian thought about it and found that it was indeed the case. The tasks were distributed across the country, and the Nanhai Branch might also issue tasks. Instead of waiting for external martial arts cultivators from other places to come all the way, it would be better to have external martial arts cultivators locally.
