Chapter 432: 395 Pine pattern Four

Several minutes had passed.

A tall and thin figure, covered in blood, silently appeared beside the train car, watching the direction Li Chengyi had left in, his eyes filled with solemnity.

"What’s the deal with that guy?"

That kind of eerie power directly caused people to kill each other, and in the end, even commit suicide.

Such power, never seen before, perfectly matched the concept of sorcery from legends.

He was the emissary sent by Spirit Wisdom Valley to negotiate with newcomers. Having heard about the occurrence of blood eyes in Xinmeng Town, the valley sent people to investigate the situation, but they had not expected to encounter such a strange person upon arriving.

"Perhaps it is also some special kind of blood eyes?" Another figure, a slender woman clad in black, appeared behind him, her voice sharp and clear.

Both named Xue Tan and Xue Ying, were a pair of siblings who had fallen on hard times. After unexpectedly becoming Lurkers, they had joined Spirit Wisdom Valley to suppress the progression of their illness.

Those with the blood eyes disease, also known as blood eyes, actually had many people who were unwilling to delve deeper. Because once they deepened, they would completely lose their sanity as the disease progressed.

Though they would gain terrifying strength far beyond imagination, they would no longer be themselves.

But if they were in the latent phase, at least they would have moments of clarity each day.

After taking the medicine from Spirit Wisdom Valley, at most, they would have killed some.

"Speaking of which, I heard that Huanggu Pavilion also sent people recently. They are closer than us, so why haven’t we seen anyone?" Xue Ying asked, puzzled.

"Perhaps, it has something to do with that strange person just now..." Xue Tan said in a deep voice.

"Should we chase after him and kill him?" Xue Ying asked softly.

"No need. Just us in the latent phase might not be able to handle that person. If we’re forced to deepen for too long... Uncontrollable power is meaningless to us," Xue Tan shook his head.

Even blood body organizations like Spirit Wisdom Valley or Huanggu Pavilion wouldn’t recruit mindless beasts.

Within an abandoned village.

Li Chengyi returned to the courtyard carrying a bag, seeing the dirty boy still in the same spot, not having left.

"You haven’t left yet?" He planned to leave this place sooner or later and naturally didn’t want to create any emotional ties here.

"I... I have nowhere to go," the boy named Liu Mingyang answered.

"Then don’t stay here," Li Chengyi said.

"I will die if I go out. Please take me in!" the boy knelt and kowtowed.

"I can help you tidy up, run errands, send messages, anything you need! Just give me something to eat!"

"..." Li Chengyi, not bothering to pay him any attention, carried the bag and turned to leave.

This unexpected finding needed to be washed in the creek water to prevent the smell of blood from affecting its use.

As for this little boy, leaving him here in the wilderness, he would soon be unable to bear it and leave.

Walking away from the village, Li Chengyi’s mind once again started to work on improving Pine Pattern Energy.

He saw the cultivation of Pine Pattern Energy as reglating one’s breath and heartbeat, merging with the consciousness power in a specified state, and then absorbing a whisper of mysterious energy seeping from the outside world, forming a special power.

Essentially, the source of this True Qi should be a fusion of three components.

First, one’s own vital energy, second, consciousness power, and third, the mysterious power infiltrating from the outside.

Imagining oneself as a stag, performing various motions, seemed to Li Chengyi more like a trick.

Making oneself akin to a certain kind of mysterious energy in the external world, thereby attracting them inside one’s body.

This is what is known as the mental method.

He slowly walked down the road, occasionally passing by carts pulled by oxen or donkeys.

With the blood eyes attackers gone, the road had returned to its normal flow of traffic.

’Then, to increase the cultivation speed, I must start by refining these three components.’

’For the first one, energy, I definitely have more than enough, even far surpassing it.’

’For the second, consciousness power, I’m also strong enough; the accumulation from Seven Spirit Holy Technique is much deeper than that of common martial artists here.’

’What truly restricts me from further speeding up my True Qi cultivation is only the third factor, the amount of mysterious power from outside infiltrating my body is too little.’

Back at the Wang Family, he shut the door and began to research the uniqueness of the True Qi alone.

Dead Energy Imprint had memories of numerous ways to create simple experimental devices.

Although not many, combined with the slicing of Sword of Wisdom, during this time, Li Chengyi had also used scrap iron ore collected from everywhere to make a small isolation formation.

Built with Dead Energy as the core, it was a small formation capable of isolating and preserving alien energies separately.

This kind of formation doesn’t have much use normally, mainly it is used to preserve some things that are not safe to touch directly.

Because of the extreme inertness of Dead Energy, as long as it maintains a high-density blockade, it can isolate many powers that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

For example, the crimson True Qi of Lurkers.

The countless black dots that gave Li Chengyi a headache last time had now turned into a black ball, slowly placed inside a small porcelain bottle.

The white porcelain bottle was placed at the center of the isolation formation, surrounded and immobilized by wisp after wisp of gray Dead Energy.

’True Qi is still not strong enough, other attributes can suppress the enemies here, but the True Qi would also cause me uncontrollable damage. I must be extremely careful. Only when there is enough True Qi for usage can I be somewhat safe.’

Li Chengyi picked up the porcelain bottle and checked for changes in the black ball inside.

After verifying there were no issues, he put everything back in its place.

He then stretched out his hand, aiming distantly at the mouth of the bottle.

Gathering energy.

Suddenly, a stream of white True Qi burst out from his palm, turning into a mist that surged into the porcelain bottle.

As the mass of white True Qi came into contact with the black sphere at the bottom of the bottle, it instantly let out a harsh hissing sound, as if the two were reacting against each other.

The density of the black sphere was obviously much higher than that of the white True Qi, and after consuming a considerable amount of the white True Qi, the black sphere shrank by a small margin.

Li Chengyi shook his head in disappointment.

’The quality and power of this Pine Pattern Energy are indeed insufficient. After such a long period of erosion, it has only consumed half of the black sphere. And this is just the True Qi left by a Lurker... No wonder a martial expert like Wang Yifeng, when facing the red-eye disease, can only manage to play defense. The gap is too wide.’

With this thought, he turned his attention to the mysterious substance that had seeped in from the outside into the Pine Pattern Energy.

’If the technique suggests that whatever you imagine will attract a comparable force, then if I imagine other powerful beings, could I draw upon their power?’

No sooner had he thought this than he got up and tried to visualize himself as a Shadow Dragon.

Compared to other creatures, he was undoubtedly most familiar with the Shadow Dragon.

Regrettably, it seemed something was missing, as merely thinking about it didn’t attract any mysterious substance from the outside.

’Perhaps specific movements and postures are required to complement the visualization. I don’t have time to figure this out slowly; it seems I must start with martial arts itself.’

Li Chengyi then tried several other visualizations, attempting to detect any mysterious substance that might appear from the outside, but unfortunately, there were none.

Standing in the room, he put away the isolation array’s stone plate and placed it in the lowest drawer of his wardrobe.

Sitting in the chair, he pondered deeply once more.

’Either change martial arts or improve what I already know. If I were to change martial arts, the True Qi might need a complete overhaul, and the sunk cost is too great, so it seems the only way is to improve.’

’First, I need to determine whether that mysterious substance comes from this blind spot or somewhere else.’

A thought crossed his mind, and a thick layer of Dead Energy automatically covered his skin.

The insulating properties of Dead Energy were extremely strong, capable of isolating most intangible energies and substances.

Under these conditions, Li Chengyi began to practice Pine Pattern Energy once again.

As expected, in less than two minutes, new True Qi emerged once more.

’Clearly, the mysterious substance doesn’t come from the surrounding air but from somewhere deeper. Either the Dead Energy can’t isolate it, or it originates from beyond this place.’

’Could it be coming from the Black Sea?’

A thought sparked in Li Chengyi’s mind.

He was a Breaker who had already opened the non-gate and had his own imprint, and with the Shadow Dragon Bloodline within him, he was essentially a bona fide creature of the Black Sea.

Thereupon, he closed his eyes and began to use the sixth sense that all Breakers possess to sense that particular mysterious substance.

This time he faintly felt it.

As he cultivated the Pine Pattern Energy, a subtle mysterious substance spontaneously seeped into the void around him.

These mysterious substances seemed to be lustrous white, like countless specks of dust that, under the perception of Li Chengyi’s sixth sense, appeared out of nowhere, merging into his body surface.

Watching this continuous influx of mysterious substance, a spark of insight flashed through Li Chengyi’s mind.

The purple light belonging to the Evil Flower slowly lit up on the back of his hand.

"1+1=2."

He uttered slowly and deeply.

In an instant, within a thirty-meter radius around him, intangible lustrous white substance emerged from all the air.

This substance surged downward, permeating the ground, and became fixed in place.

’.....it actually works like this!? Li Chengyi was astonished.

This Power of Flower Language could even influence such intangible substances!?’

He distinctly perceived that within the thirty-meter radius around him, all the mysterious substance was controlled, sinking into the ground, waiting for his command.

What was he waiting for?

His thoughts raced, and he quickly spoke again.

"If you don’t want to die, all of you come to me now!"

As soon as his words fell, in the blink of an eye, all the mysterious substance within the thirty meters leaped up and rushed towards him at high speed, lightning-fast merging into his body and vanishing from sight.

Ugh!

As a large amount of mysterious substance rushed in, both the power of Li Chengyi’s consciousness and his vital blood were consumed rapidly, fusing and consolidating into portions of Pine Pattern Energy.

In just a few short minutes, the amount of Pine Pattern Energy synthesized in his body was equivalent to the total amount of the previous ten days.

But soon, such rapid refining of True Qi also began to overwhelm his body.

As the Radiance Field automatically deployed, Li Chengyi quickly started to recover his vital blood.

This state continued for over half an hour until even the Radiance Field began to struggle.

The nutrients within his body were consumed too much, and even the Radiance Field could not create matter out of nothing.

Li Chengyi opened his eyes, feeling the Pine Pattern Energy inside him had greatly increased compared to before.

In this short period, the True Qi he had integrated had reached more than double the previous total.

According to the pattern of the Pine Pattern Energy, he raised his hand to release the True Qi.

Luminescent light covered his palm, revealing the faint ash-grey patterns on it.

A total of a little over six branches.

’Equivalent to a total of six years.’

Although the recent bout of integration was powerful, he now felt utterly drained, both in vital blood and consciousness power, and in dire need of rest and replenishment.

’As strong as this method is, it can’t be used consecutively in the short term; further testing is needed.’

He hadn’t expected that the Power of Flower Language would actually be useful in True Qi cultivation.

With this revelation, the time it would take to accumulate True Qi could be significantly shortened.
