Chapter 2: Identity
It is precisely because of the existence of the Spirit of Wisdom that he was able to forge the longsword in his hand, and it is also due to the presence of the Spirit of Wisdom that he could unleash the power of the short needle even with only a mere 10% mastery of the Qi Nourishing Technique, leaving behind some spiritual patterns on the longsword
The only regret is that his vital energy is truly too weak
However, Ying Chengfeng did not feel disheartened like the previous owner of this body
It has evolved from being an ordinary intelligence into a true form of intelligent life
For him, being able to experience the existence of true energy is already an incredibly miraculous thing
Although this is related to the fact that the three of them have been by Ying Lide's side for a longer period, it is evident that Ying Chengfeng's talent in cultivating true energy is indeed quite lacking.
He does not even know the name of the continent he is on
In this gamble, they lost, even to the extent of losing their own lives
Although Ying Chengfeng was carving spiritual patterns on the sword for the first time, his movements were exceptionally fluid. The short needle rose and fell without the slightest hesitation or pause, as if he had completed countless practices in advance, executing the task in one seamless motion
The cultivation of their qi nurturing skills has all reached the peak of the sixth level, and they are even making an attempt to break through to the seventh level
He was originally an explorer. When humanity left Earth and entered the vast universe on a large scale, he signed up to embark on an adventure with his companions aboard a miniature spacecraft
At this moment, Ying Chengfeng's expression was serious; in his eyes, this tiny glimmer of light had become his entire world
Shaking his head, he put away the long sword and short needle from www.hetushu.com, turned around, and rushed towards the village. Moments later, he had already returned to the village and entered a large courtyard.
Not only that, but when he possessed the memories of his previous life, he also simultaneously held the memories of the original owner of this body
However, compared to the faint light emitted by the burly middle-aged man earlier, the faint light generated by Ying Chengfeng at this moment was clearly far inferior.
After a moment, he said in a low voice: "I remember reading in a book that if one continuously depletes their true energy, causing a strong stimulation to the body, then during cultivation, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort"
However, after several months of living, he finally integrated the chaotic memories and clarified all the relationships
He, or rather the soul currently inhabiting this body, does not belong to the indigenous people of this world
If the radiance of the middle-aged man is a raging fire pillar, then his radiance is merely the faint glow emitted by a small candle, flickering in the wind as if it could extinguish at any moment
Within the several villages in a radius of ten miles, Ying Lide is the only apprentice of the Qi Dao Sect, thus his words carry great weight here, and no one dares to defy him
After a long sigh, although he knew it was impossible, he still harbored an unrealistic wish
The shimmering light fluctuates unpredictably, emanating an unparalleled aura of mystery
Although Ying Chengfeng was watching this process for the first time, he was able to easily replicate it due to his intelligence and insight
Indeed, however, there is a prerequisite. "Zhi He * Tu * Shu mercilessly interrupted his beautiful dream: 'If you have powerful medicinal substances in your possession that can ensure your body does not deteriorate due to the sudden depletion of true energy, I do not oppose your method of stimulating the body to enhance your strength. But as it stands now... the only result of your actions will be that your body will collapse under the intense stimulation before your strength can increase.' But as it stands now... the only result of your actions will be that your body will collapse under the intense stimulation before your strength can increase.
Yinglide is capable of completing all the spiritual patterns in one go, while he is unable to finish even one-tenth of them
Woof woof
After all, the owner of the body he is attached to is only fifteen years old, and the knowledge transmission system here has significant flaws. Not to mention him at fifteen, even his parents have only traveled as far as a town a little over ten miles away from the village in several decades.
However, his uncle, the middle-aged strongman Yinglide, was the most knowledgeable and capable person in the entire village
The spiritual patterns are mysterious and unfathomable, almost more astonishing than martial arts
This is the first pause after the short needle emits a faint glow, and at the very moment his movement comes to a halt, the faint glow on the short needle has completely vanished
In five years, he had only cultivated the first level of the Qi Nourishing Skill taught by Ying Lide. However, his fellow disciples who practiced martial arts alongside him made remarkable progress, especially Ying Lide's eldest son, Ying Haitao, his second son, Ying Haikang, and another disciple accepted by Ying Lide, Zhang Chunxiao, who excelled beyond the rest.
If he and his companions could find a wormhole coordinate in the universe, or discover a rare mineral planet, then it would bring them a lifetime of inexhaustible wealth and riches
After thoroughly integrating his memories, he began to diligently study martial arts techniques and the forging methods taught by Ying Lide
When he regained consciousness, he had already transformed into this fifteen-year-old boy. What astonished and bewildered him even more, while also filling him with ecstatic joy, was that the ship's intelligent brain program had entered his mind in a way he could not comprehend, establishing an incredible symbiotic relationship with him
Martial arts are a significant characteristic of this world and are the skills that Ying Chengfeng yearns for the most
When the spacecraft passed through a certain dark space, it was suddenly shattered by a powerful force. He and his companions had no means of resistance and died on the spot
Ying Chengfeng let out a helpless sigh as he gazed at the long sword in his hand, which had not even completed one-tenth of its spiritual patterns, feeling an overwhelming sense of melancholy in his heart
Such occurrences resembling possession have clearly never happened in this village, so although his behavior during those months was somewhat strange, no one ever suspected anything
Intelligent brain
He clenched his fist tightly and silently vowed to himself that one day he would surpass his uncle
In the distance, the barking of a dog roused him from his slumber. He glanced at the sky; the sun was gradually setting, and the light was dimming.
In this sect, the status of the craftsman is highly revered, and he himself is a craftsman with a modest understanding of the art of forging
The intelligent brain program carried on the spacecraft inexplicably entered his mind domain, not only coexisting with him but also giving rise to a new change whose nature—whether good or bad—remains unknown
According to Ying Lide, the Qidao Sect is a faction capable of forging divine weapons and sharp tools
Moreover, there is a greatest ally by Ying Chengfeng's side
This change is not significant, and it will not affect the quality of the sword blade. If one were to rely solely on the naked eye for observation, it would be quite difficult to detect the variations on the blade. Only by using true energy to carefully explore can one uncover the mysteries within.
Ying Lide once said that true divine weapons possess a spirit of their own
Ying Chengfeng is interested in martial arts, but he is even more fascinated by the art of forging. He understands that if he solely focuses on cultivating martial arts, it would be difficult to catch up with individuals like Ying Haitao. However, if he can achieve success in the art of forging, his future status may not necessarily be inferior to theirs.
Gently, the faint light fell upon the long sword. Although no sound was produced, he could clearly sense the subtle changes caused by the friction between the light and the blade in his heart
The true energy within the body flowed out like a rushing stream, leaving behind mysterious spiritual patterns on the sword's body
Ying Chengfeng stroked his chin, making a gesture of contemplation
Perhaps due to his affiliation with the Qi Dao sect, Ying Lide understood some spiritual patterns. After successfully forging a sharp sword, he inscribed this spiritual pattern onto the long sword.
Here is a magical world. Although he has occupied this body for several months, he has only scratched the surface of understanding this world.
However, it is unfortunate that the owner of this body, although possessing a slight talent for martial arts, seems to have little more than that.
If the middle-aged strong men from hetushucomcom were watching at this moment, they would surely be astonished, unable to believe what they were witnessing
However, at this moment, the goddess of fate played a tremendous joke on him
Ying Chengfeng could not explain all of this, but he knew that the existence of the intelligent spirit would provide him with tremendous assistance
Because Ying Chengfeng seemed to have directly copied all of his actions, if it were not for the significant difference in their body sizes and the varying lengths of the fine light on the short needle, they would have appeared as if they were the same person.
Suddenly, Ying Chengfeng's every action came to a halt
"Indeed, your vital energy is on the verge of depletion." The calm voice of Zhi Ling resonated in his mind: "If this continues, it will have a significant adverse effect on your body"
A trace of regret flashed in Ying Chengfeng's eyes. He let out a long sigh, shook his head, and thought to himself: "Zhilin, is my true energy insufficient?"
This kind of spirituality is not generated out of thin air, but is instilled by a powerful being known as a spiritual master. However, before infusing spirituality into a divine weapon, it is essential to carve suitable spiritual patterns onto the weapon.
He looked up at the sky, the corners of his mouth slightly curling, evoking boundless emotions
However, the intense conflict between the two types of memories rendered him dazed during that period, almost indistinguishable from a living corpse
This is a gamble, a high-stakes bet at the cost of life
Five years ago, after Yinglide returned home from the Qidao Sect, he began to recruit disciples in the village to teach them the martial arts and the methods of forging steel
However, their luck was not good, and the goddess of fortune did not bestow upon them sufficient favor
If only he could possess the powerful true energy of his uncle
