Chapter 9 Breaking the Shackles of Genius

"wake up!"

Li Yi, who was immersed in his practice, suddenly heard a voice in his ear.

He was immediately awakened and his practice was interrupted.

Lin Yue looked at him with a half-smile and said, "You are not polite at all. You have been in the state of cultivation for four hours. I have been acting as your guide the whole time."

"It's been four hours?" Li Yi was surprised and looked out the window.

It was already dark at this moment, and I looked at the time and it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

I really didn’t expect that so much time would have passed during my practice.

"I just looked at your talent. In these four hours, I guided a total of 100 portions of cosmic energy into your body, and you absorbed a total of 45 portions during this period. The rest were all dissipated. It seems that your efficiency in absorbing cosmic energy is 45%." Lin Yue said.

Li Yi thought to himself, as expected.

The cosmic energy that actively flowed into his body was really due to Lin Yue's deliberate guidance.

"Sister Lin, 45 percent, is this number very low?" he asked later.

Lin Yue said: "Although the performance data is a bit low, it is understandable because this is your first time practicing. My first data was only 70%. Overall, you have a little talent and can take the path of practice. As long as you work hard, you will still achieve success."

"I have talent, but not much, is that what you mean?" Li Yi laughed at himself and said, "That's really bad."

"No, this is already a very good result. As your practice experience deepens, your energy conversion rate can be further improved. I estimate that it will be no problem to reach around 65%." Lin Yue said.

Li Yi said: "This is just barely passing."

Lin Yue rolled her eyes and said, "It's good enough to pass. Did you see those students during the day? After practicing for a period of time, their data was only around 40% or 50%. You are considered an excellent student in the training class."

"What are the statistics of those geniuses in cultivation? One hundred percent?" Li Yi suddenly asked curiously.

"No, a 100% data does not count as genius. The real geniuses are all above 200%." ​​Lin Yue said.

"."Li Yi.

He thought the total score was 100 points, and he would be okay if he could get 65 points, but he didn't expect that there was no upper limit to the total score.

"By the way, Sister Lin, when you were guiding the cosmic energy into my body just now, did you sense a special energy field?" Li Yi suddenly asked.

Lin Yue frowned. "Special energy field? No, there isn't. In my perception, there is only a grayish-white world. There is no special energy field. Why? Did you feel it? If you feel it, be extra careful. It could be a wormhole that suddenly opened. Don't let your consciousness be sucked in. Otherwise, it will be easily damaged. If it's serious, the patient will be in a coma for several months, and if it's mild, the patient will have a headache for several days."

"I understand." Li Yi nodded solemnly.

Then he felt a little puzzled. The energy field that he sensed should be emitted by the knife coin. Why didn’t Lin Yue sense it?
Could it be that the energy field of the incomplete knife coin is too small, so its range is limited?
"Haha, stop busying yourself with practicing. Come, come, come. I just ordered some delicious dishes from the hotel next door. Let's have a good meal today. Niece, here are also your favorite braised prawns." At this time, Uncle Biao's voice rang out. He was in a good mood and walked in with a bunch of takeout boxes in his hands.

"Uncle, you are spending money recklessly again." Lin Yue said.

"If you make money, you should eat and drink well, otherwise life will be boring." Uncle Biao opened the takeaway box with great interest: "Look, there's still beer. Li Yi, let's have a few sips and not leave until we're drunk."

"Um, I don't know how to drink." Li Yi said.

Uncle Biao put his arm around his neck and said with a smile: "You are already a twenty-year-old boy, how can you not know how to drink? I will teach you."

until ten o'clock in the evening.

Li Yicai left Uncle Biao's meditation room feeling a little tipsy.

At night, when the cool breeze blew through the city, he immediately regained his spirit and his slightly dizzy head became clear again.

Without wasting too much time, he rushed home as quickly as possible.

On the way, Li Yi thought to himself: "Now I can be sure that the half of the knife coin in my hand is a rare item. Although I don't know what strange ability it has, at least I can be sure that this thing can help me practice. And from what Lin Yue said, I know that my talent for practice is not bad. Compared with most people, it is above average."

"But what I need to consider right now is how to keep this incomplete treasure. After all, I can't hold it firmly yet. Once that group of people have dealt with the investigator Wang Jian, they will definitely come back to find me. At that time, there will only be two options left for me."

"Either hand it over in exchange for sufficient benefits and the protection of the Investigation Bureau, or take the risk of keeping it. As for Old Crow? Sorry, I'm not very familiar with him."

In his heart, Li Yi actually prefers the latter.

Because Lao Ya and the others didn't know that they had definitely got the rare item in their hands. After all, besides himself, Wang Hu and Wei Li also took a piece of the item that day. He was also worried that once the item was exposed, the other party would probably choose to kill him to silence him.

A cultivator can kill you with just one encounter, so Li Yi doesn't dare to bet that the other party will keep his promise. With some trepidation and anxiety, Li Yi returned home.

He first greeted his parents, then checked the medical cabin. After making sure that there were no problems with the operation of the medical cabin, he finally looked at the remaining amount of nutrient solution in the medical cabin.

Nutrient solution: less than 10 percent.

The flashing reminder made Li Yi worry again.

He checked the balance on his phone: 1876.

This amount of money is only enough to buy one bottle of nutrient solution, not even two.

"Wasn't the arrival of this day predicted long ago?" Li Yi sat alone in the living room, he fell into silence.

The family had been running out of money ever since his parents became mute. As long as his parents didn't wake up, sooner or later all the money in the family would be used up. His hard work would only delay the arrival of that day.

But Li Yi himself didn't expect that six years would pass in a flash.

Before, he naively thought that his parents would wake up after two or three years, but now it seems that the situation may not change even after another three years.

"Perhaps it is correct to hand over the incomplete rare object. At least I can get some money so that my family can live in peace and stability, and I can even have a chance to continue my practice."

Li Yi stroked the half knife coin in his hand, looking at his parents lying in the medical cabin in the room, and he couldn't help but think in his heart.

"But I have worked so hard to find this thing that can change my destiny. If I give up today, I will regret it for the rest of my life. And if you give me some time, my practice will soon be effective. It will be much easier to make money after I become a practitioner. How can I be stumped by a few bottles of nutrient solution?"

After a brief hesitation, Li Yi reaffirmed his inner thoughts. He glanced at his parents in the room again and said, "Dad, Mom, let me try this once. If you wake up one day, I believe you will understand my choice."

After saying this, he held the broken knife coin in his hand, closed his eyes and sat down again, starting to clear his mind of distracting thoughts and enter a state of meditation.

Since he had to fight, every minute and every second could not be wasted. He could not grasp the future, but he could grasp the present. As long as the magic item was in his hands, Li Yi would practice desperately. Only when he became strong enough would he not have to fear the upcoming troubles.

soon.

He entered the state he had been in during the day again.

Within his perception, the broken knife coin emitted a small energy field, and under the influence of his thoughts, the pure energy was guided into Li Yi's body.

Perhaps Li Yi's cultivation level is not high, and his energy conversion rate is only 45%, but since he has this incomplete strange object, he does not need to spend time capturing the energy leaking from the wormhole, nor does he worry about the energy being wasted.

Talent has become less important to him.

Because even for a genius, most of the time of a night's practice is spent on capturing energy, and the scarce pure cosmic energy is the biggest shackle that restricts a genius' practice.

With the help of magical objects, Li Yi was able to break this shackles, and the results of his practice in one night were several times, or even dozens of times, more than those of a genius.

at the same time.

Late night in the old town.

Ning Wu, who was tall and had a long ponytail, her accomplice Lao Ya, and a group of subordinates in black suits walked out of the investigation bureau behind them.

"Ning Wu, although someone has come forward to protect you, I advise you to restrain yourself. If you dare to cause trouble again, I guarantee that you will not be able to leave the cell for ten years." Investigator Wang Jian's warning came from behind.

"Humph."

Ning Wu snorted in dissatisfaction and walked out without looking back.

After leaving the investigation bureau, she stopped and said, "Old Crow, you must contact Wang Hu, Wei Li, and Li Yi as quickly as possible and at any cost, and ask them to return the things, so that there won't be any more trouble."

"Of course. I don't want to see any more accidents happen." Old Crow nodded.

Ning Wu's eyes flickered, and she was so angry that her teeth itched: "If Wang Jian hadn't suddenly intervened, how could things have become so complicated? We would have already obtained the things when we were in the abandoned city area."

"Ning Wu, don't be anxious. They are all ordinary people, and it's not difficult to find them. Even if they really have good things in their hands, they don't know the value of them. At worst, we can raise the price a little bit, and I believe they will be willing to hand it over after seeing the money." Old Crow said.

"That'd better be the case. My patience is running out. This involves a rare item."

Ning Wu took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
