719: Chapter 449 Unable to Cultivate_2 719: Chapter 449 Unable to Cultivate_2 He seed unable to further his cultivation with Origin Qi anymore.
Even replenishing the Origin Qi deficit in his Dantian was beyond his reach….
Sitting on the soft bed, Xu Yuan felt his thoughts were sowhat chaotic.
In his previous life, watching those ani and novel protagonists carve out their unique paths of cultivation always seed exhilarating, but facing it himself only left him bewildered.
In this world, there were also so naturally gifted individuals who had forged their own paths of cultivation.
Qi Cultivators, Martial Cultivators, Soul Cultivators, and even those who relied on Yin Ghosts and other specters to develop their heterodox thods, but the cornerstone of all these paths of cultivation has always been the Origin Qi of this world.
And what about him?
Xu Yuan looked down at his own palm, finding it sowhat difficult to breathe.
His body had irreversibly conflicted with the very foundation of cultivation in this world.
How was he supposed to cultivate now?
No, forget cultivation, if this issue wasn’t resolved, all the power within him, whether the black Origin Qi and Will-spirit or his unique Spirit Vision, would all beco rootless duckweed.
Use a bit, lose a bit.
“….”
His mind raced for dozens of breaths, and without any hesitation, Xu Yuan got out of bed, put on his boots, and headed for his father’s courtyard.
Although he had been on the path of cultivation for quite so ti now, in reality, he was still at a stage where he knew what it was but not why it was.
Just like in his previous life, you know how to make calls with a cell phone and that a cell phone vibrates sound waves, converting these vibrations into electrical signals through a certain device to transmit information, but you don’t know exactly how to make a phone.
However, just because he didn’t know how to make a “cell phone” didn’t an his father didn’t know, and even if his father didn’t know, surely soone under the vast Pri Minister’s Mansion would.
With these thoughts in mind, Xu Yuan quickly arrived outside his father’s courtyard.
The gate was ten feet high, not too extravagant.
As Xu Yuan stepped up to the threshold and reached for the door knocker, a dismissive and gentle male voice suddenly ca from behind him:
“Father has gone out, if you have any issues, you can talk to your brother.”
There was a slight pause in Xu Yuan’s movents; he slowly turned his gaze and looked over his shoulder at his elder brother, who stood a zhang away, dressed in green like a banished immortal.
Xu Changge’s eyes were calmly fixed on him.
After a mont of eye contact, Xu Yuan straightforwardly said:
“Xu Changge, I can’t cultivate anymore.”
“….”
Xu Changge’s originally indifferent expression suddenly turned serious, and his brows deeply furrowed:
“What do you an?”
Xu Yuan, observing Xu Changge’s expression, felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
For his current status, the severity of being unable to cultivate was almost equivalent to “The monarch has fallen ill.”
After detailing the situation he had encountered just now to Xu Changge, Xu Yuan looked at his older brother with expectant eyes.
Xu Changge’s eyebrows, which resembled distant mountains, were tightly knit.
He fell silent for a mont, then directly asked:
“Since you can’t cultivate through Origin Qi, is it possible to cultivate by devouring dicine people?”
“….”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan’s eyes twitched.
dicine people, a sowhat inhumane term.
The path of Elixir dicine was continuously evolving, and every new elixir formula required countless iterations of improvents, each tested on dicine people.
As a result, many major powers, more or less, kept so for this purpose.
Including the Pri Minister’s Mansion.
Xu Yuan was sowhat relieved that, compared to powers like Wanyao Valley, the Pri Minister’s Mansion, after all, assud an official facade, and most of the dicine people they kept were either enemy prisoners or death-row inmates from various jails.
With that in mind, Xu Yuan grinned a little weirdly:
“Are you planning for to eat people?”
Xu Changge showed a trace of embarrassnt and then spoke in a low voice:
“I’ve heard about your situation from my uncle; Huizhou County…”
“Stop there.”
Xu Yuan interrupted Xu Changge, pointing to his head, “If it were just absorbing Origin Qi, I wouldn’t mind, but with that thod, it’s likely that I’d have to devour the flesh and blood as well.”
As a human, the mory of consuming another’s flesh and blood was sothing Xu Yuan found repellent on a physiological level.
Xu Changge was silent for a while before he changed tack and spoke softly:
“Then…
shall we call father back?”
Xu Yuan pondered for a mont, then gently shook his head:
“Father probably can’t be of much help in this matter either, and I also have so speculations.”
Xu Changge took a step forward, urgency in his voice as he asked:
“What?”
After a mont of consideration, Xu Yuan spoke softly:
“The energies in my body now are likely composed of Origin Qi, Yin Source, and Life Origin; I fear my cultivation will also require these three.”
“Yin Source and Life Origin…”
Xu Changge murmured, and then his expression slightly relaxed, he whispered, “So that ans Yin Ghosts and Demon Crystals?”
“It should be…
but it’s not certain yet, we’ll have to wait for the experint to be over before we can get results.”
Xu Yuan whispered back, glancing in the direction of the outer court of the Pri Minister’s Mansion, and asked in a low voice, “Is Lou Ji currently in the mansion?
She should be clearer about my current state.”
Xu Changge revealed a trace of contemplation:
“Lou Ji had stabilized your condition before she left the mansion.
However, that woman nad Luo Xiran is in the Geotry Institute.”
Xu Yuan heard this and was slightly delighted:
“Take to her.”
“…..” Xu Changge stared at Xu Yuan without speaking.
Xu Yuan’s lips twitched as he complained:
“I an, can you stop looking at like that?
I’m not trying to sneak out for fun.”
A hint of amusent flashed in Xu Changge’s eyes as he shook his head and said:
“Father didn’t an to confine you, he just told you not to cause trouble using your identity again.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan’s eyes brightened slightly as he asked in a low voice:
“What do you an by that?”
“You’ll know when the ti cos, at any rate, when father returns he will explain it to you in detail.”
Xu Changge, without any regard for brotherly affection, turned into sothing of a riddle speaker and casually said, “I’m roughly aware of your current physical state, I’ll head to the Geotry Institute now to find Jiang He…”
Mid-sentence, Xu Changge’s words suddenly halted, and then he chuckled and shook his head:
“It seems there’s no need after all.”
Xu Yuan’s eyebrows slightly raised in confusion: “What?”
Xu Changge pointed to a certain guest room courtyard in the outer court of the Pri Minister’s Mansion and said in a low voice:
“Xinyao is in the mansion; you can just talk to her later.”
Xu Yuan was taken aback:
“Xinyao is in the mansion?”
The corners of Xu Changge’s lips curved slightly, his gaze carrying a strand of inexplicable amusent:
“Yes, she is currently chatting with that disciple of the State Preceptor.
It seems you traveled together before, and that girl seems to quite like Ran Qingmo.”
“….”
After a mont of silence, Xu Yuan realized he had been led into a maze.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice:
“Listen, Xinyao studies Formation; my constitution needs dicinal knowledge to be recitified, Xu Changge you…”
“Who told you Xinyao only knows Formation?”
“…” Xu Yuan.
Xu Changge humd softly, then as if rembering sothing, he took a step forward, his eyes narrowing as he smiled and asked:
“Changtian,
“I saw that Xinyao had two scars on her forearm.
When I asked her, she wouldn’t say who caused them, those wouldn’t happen to be from you back in Shengshan County, would they?”
“…” Xu Yuan.
Long-dead mories suddenly began to attack him.
The mory of being thrashed by Xu Changge for having hit Xu Xinyao.
And this relentless king wouldn’t listen to his explanations.
After a brief silence, Xu Yuan maintained his composure, furrowed his brows, and feigned ignorance:
“What are you talking about?”
Xu Changge gave Xu Yuan a deep look and then sighed lightly, whispering:
“Changtian, be nicer to Xinyao.
When Aunt and Lou Ji brought you back to the Geotry Institute, half dead, Xinyao hardly slept or rested for half a month in order to stabilize your injuries.”
Xu Yuan pursed his lips, his fists clenched slightly:
“Yeah, I got it.”
“I hope you really do.”
Xu Changge’s words carried a warning, then he glanced up at the sky and continued, “By the way, I t the Saintess of Jiatiange when I was heading north on the road.”
Xu Yuan’s pupils shrank slightly at those words.
Given Tianyan’s temperant at that ti, encountering Xu Changge…
Xu Changge humd softly upon seeing this:
“Why so nervous?
Relax, I didn’t draw my sword on her.”
Relieved, Xu Yuan imdiately realized that his elder brother must have fully inford that long-suffering Saintess of the situation:
“Where is she now?”
Xu Changge pondered for a mont, glanced to the south, and said in a low voice:
“Hmph, according to the intelligence, she seems to have returned to the south.
She’s probably gone to find her master for your sake.”
