Chapter 2 The Magical Uses of Qi
November rd.

In the library, Su Chen cleaned and read books when he had nothing to do, and fell asleep while reading.

Ever since the seed of immortality sprouted and he gave birth to the true qi of immortality, his cultivation speed has not been slow.

The fifth level of the Qi path is called the Inner Qi realm.

There are no profound martial arts in the library, but there is no shortage of martial arts books. An ordinary person with perfect internal energy can probably cultivate ten streams of true qi to kill the enemy.

The better the natural physique, the more true Qi will be generated in this realm.

Those with excellent physical fitness can have three times as much, or thirty lines of true qi to kill the enemy.

Even those martial arts prodigies who are blessed by God and have extraordinary talents can obtain thirty levels of true qi, up to a maximum of ninety levels.

And he stepped into the Inner Energy Realm, and within three days, his Longevity Qi had already broken through thirty barriers and reached more than sixty.

"wrong."

"Now, the seventieth immortality qi has been born."

Su Chen felt the amount of true energy in his body and looked a little strange.

It seems that he is not a novice in cultivation, but a martial arts prodigy, with an internal energy level of seventy to kill the enemy.

Not right either.

At this moment, the number of longevity true qi in his body has reached seventy. Although the growth rate is slowing down, it is still growing continuously and the momentum is very strong.

Seventy is not his limit, maybe ninety, or even breaking the rumored limit of ninety is possible.

"I see."

Su Chen suddenly understood.

Perhaps it's because he has obtained the seed of immortality and is no longer a human being.

With normal cultivation methods, he couldn't even enter into a state of meditation, let alone sense the free energy of heaven and earth and cultivate his own energy.

The moment the Seed of Immortality appeared, he was no longer a human being, but a different kind of immortal life...

Beyond the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements, maybe.

"It's just that my true energy is so weak that it doesn't seem to have much destructive power."

“It seems like I’m still a rookie.”

"Although I am no longer a training noob, I have become a combat weakling. I still don't have much strength to speak of."

Su Chen thrust his palm forward and hit a piece of bluestone. According to historical records, for someone with perfect internal energy, this punch could make a thousand-pound boulder shake continuously.

The strongest among them can even create cracks in this thousand-pound rock.

Su Chen looked at the performance of his true energy with anticipation.

boom!
hit!
The expectation in Su Chen's eyes disappeared.

The true energy in his punch was so powerful that it could not even shake a rock. It was just like tofu hitting a stone, and it quickly disintegrated.

There is no destructive power at all.

"Ugh."

"Weakling."

"I really can't expect anything."

Su Chen shook his head and continued to organize the classics.

After he left.

What he didn't see was that underneath the bluestone, a withered dogtail grass was nourished by his collapsing true energy. It instantly swelled up, grew rapidly, and pierced through the huge bluestone that required two people to hug together, and stood up.

In an instant, it turned into a giant foxtail grass one meter high.

Normal dogtail grass is only about the length of a forearm, about 30 centimeters. But this dogtail grass has obtained the immortality energy, and even its life level seems to have changed.

After cleaning up the nine floors of classics in the library.

Su Chen returned to the first floor and was about to find a book to go to sleep when he suddenly saw this giant foxtail grass.

At this moment, looking at the white energy swirling on his palm, Su Chen vaguely realized something.

"My immortality qi can increase vitality and affect the essence of life?"

Su Chen began to search through all the boxes and cabinets. He wanted to verify it again and see the magical effects of the Longevity Qi.

"found it."

A withered and yellow medicinal herb wrapped in a brocade handkerchief appeared in his palm. It was a dried ginseng.

Precious medicines such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum can not only heal injuries and replenish vital energy, but can also be used for martial arts training.

Zhang Gui saved this thirty-year-old ginseng from his cultivation resources when he heard that he wanted to learn martial arts.

It's just what I need right now.

This is a bold experiment.

A stream of immortality energy surged into the withered yellow ginseng.

In an instant.

The originally dried ginseng swelled up and took on a vibrant white color; it actually regained its vitality.

Moreover, it keeps growing.

The whiskers grew out rapidly and continued to extend.

The size of ginseng is also growing rapidly.

In a blink of an eye.

A stream of immortality energy has been consumed.

The ginseng that was originally as long and thick as two fingers has become a large ginseng the size of a palm, with extremely dense roots.

“What year is this…”

Su Chen was very excited. He trotted up to the second floor, took out a book called "Herb Dictionary", and began to identify it by comparing it with the contents in the book.

He was shocked.

This is actually a hundred-year-old ginseng.

Thirty-year-old ginseng can aid in fifth-grade cultivation and is extremely precious. Even Zhang Gui, a martial arts eunuch who is the focus of training and has excellent talent, is only supplied with one ginseng a month.

The ginseng in this world is not the same as that in the previous life. It is artificially cultivated and can be wholesaled as long as there is enough money.

Every ginseng root in the world of cultivation grows by consuming the energy of heaven and earth.

"A hundred-year-old ginseng can not only save lives, but also increase the power of a fourth-grade internal energy practitioner by ten years..."

Thirty-year-old ginseng may be purchased with money, but a hundred-year-old ginseng is already equivalent to a strategic reserve resource for all major spiritual practice forces.

When the last century-old ginseng appeared in the imperial capital, several top third-rank noble marquises fought for it, and it finally fell into the hands of a palace eunuch.

The Grand Chamberlain, let’s not talk about power, he is a second-rank cultivator. If he stomps his feet, the imperial city will tremble in respect.

Hundred-year-old ginseng, this is just one longevity qi, which is produced by it. Add a few more longevity qi.

Su Chen even felt that he could create a thousand-year-old ginseng king.

The Thousand-Year Ginseng King is said to be a precious treasure. Legend has it that a top-grade cultivator can obtain the Thousand-Year Ginseng King to protect his internal organs and is expected to be promoted to the Grandmaster level.

The old emperor took so many panaceas and extended his life for three months. Wasn't it only thanks to the thousand-year-old precious medicine that he escaped with his life?

The Millennium Ginseng King is definitely a treasure among thousand-year-old treasures and the king of treasures.

"Give it a try."

Su Chen was eager to try.

a long time.

The thirty strands of true energy in his body were exhausted.

In the library, there were bursts of strange fragrance. Su Chen watched the ginseng in front of him grow all the way to the size of a millstone, and then become the size of a fist. The whole ginseng was silent, like a curled up baby.

He flipped through the "Herb Compendium" and silently recited the page about the Millennium Ginseng King.

"The Millennium Ginseng King is created by the heaven and earth, and has been nurtured for a thousand years. It is said that it contains a breath of longevity. Eating it can extend the life of a person who has died for another ten years."

"The top level, can break Zhihao, cleanse the internal organs, one step to the Grandmaster realm!"

"This miraculous medicine has been invented three times in the past three hundred years in Daliang. Every time it was invented, it caused cholera and catastrophe in the world, and countless practitioners plundered it..."

Su Chen was silent for a while.

The Millennium Ginseng King gave birth to a breath of long-lasting energy, and he, in turn, used more than thirty long-lasting energy to feed a wild ginseng worth thirty taels of silver into the astonishing Millennium Ginseng King.

"Pity."

"The top grade, the magic medicine that can make you a master in one step, but it is useless to me."

"I cannot practice the ways of ordinary people."

"Otherwise, relying on my immortality, I can definitely feed myself with precious medicines and raise myself to the top level, or even to the level of a Grandmaster..."

Su Chen shook his head, took out the pear wood box to isolate the strange fragrance, and placed the fist-sized thousand-year-old ginseng king in the secret compartment of the library.

As long as the Seed of Immortality continues to grow, his strength will continue to increase.

This is his way of protecting the Dao.

"However, my immortality qi tends to assist in healing. Facing a powerful enemy, it doesn't seem to be of much use."

Su Chen looked through the classics and found two solutions.

A path of physical cultivation, tempering one's body into a powerful weapon. The energy in the body constantly nourishes the vitality, and he will inevitably be terrifyingly strong.

The other type is to ripen poison from previous years and refine it into a terrifying secret medicine that can kill even the strongest.

“It’s better to take both into account.”

"It's hard to find a suitable method for external training, but in this palace, there are plenty of medicinal herb seeds."

Su Chen touched his chin.

With this method of ripening precious medicine, he probably won't be short of money.

If he was willing to sell that ripened thousand-year-old ginseng king, even the top martial artist of Liang State who was about to die, the King of Daliang, or even the emperor, the old monsters practicing in the Tianwu Tower would be willing to exchange everything for it.

However, there is a high probability that the other party will not trade, but will directly snatch it.

"It's the survival of the fittest."

Su Chen went out and came to the door of the Shangwu Bureau.

In front of the Shangwu Bureau, a group of old eunuchs dressed in blue were standing in line, holding brocade boxes and nodding and bowing. There were quite a lot of them.

Su Chen was a little confused, but he still walked past the line, bowed and greeted the eunuch at the door of the Shangwu Bureau.

"Please inform me."

"Just say that Su Chen is looking for Zhang Gui."

This statement came out.

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter.

"Where did this new eunuch come from?"

“That’s really unruly.”

"If you want to curry favor with Eunuch Zhang Gui, you have to queue up, okay? You don't even have to bring gifts. Haha, Eunuch Zhang Gui is now a favorite of Concubine Zhang Gui. How can you, a new eunuch in the palace, curry favor with him?"

"How dare you address Eunuch Zhang by his first name? That's disrespectful! You deserve a slap in the face!"

The crowd was talking a lot, with sarcastic ridicule, scolding, and malicious words.

In the palace, eunuchs are roughly of five colors.

The only one in purple robe, the emperor's close attendant, and the chief eunuch in charge of seals.

Only the top rank ones are allowed to take up the position.

Red robe, five general managers.

Blue robes, a large number of Taijians are in charge.

And the old eunuch, wearing a green robe.

The ones wearing green robes without any embellishments are ordinary eunuchs, while the ones wearing embellishments are eunuchs from the Shangwu Bureau. They are all practitioners with accomplishments and are prepared to be managers in the future.

The newly entered eunuchs wore dark, the lowest level of attire, which was a plain black robe.

In the Shangwu Bureau, the young eunuch who was guarding the door saw that Su Chen was just a young eunuch in a plain black robe. It was obvious that he was a young man who had just entered the palace not long ago and was bullied by everyone.

He suddenly sneered, raised his head high, looked at Su Chen with his nose up, showing mockery, and kicked Su Chen, the little eunuch who did not follow the queue rules, and cursed him.

"These people are here to look for Eunuch Zhang Gui."

“Don’t queue up yet.”

"hehe."

"A young eunuch who has just entered the palace dares to curry favor with Eunuch Zhang. What kind of person is this? Why don't you just take a piss and look at yourself? What kind of person is this..."

Snapped!
A loud slap hit the face of the young eunuch who was guarding the Shangwu Bureau.

Snapped!Snapped!
again and again.

"Who?!"

"You dare to hit me? Damn it, do you know who I belong to? I am the godson that Eunuch Zhang Gui just adopted...ah? Godfather?!"

The young eunuch was confused.

Zhang Gui's handsome face was filled with coldness.

"You're not now."

"My brother Zhang Gui was almost kicked down by you in front of the Shangwu Bureau. How could I dare to acknowledge a godson like you?"
