Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Disappearance
After contemplating carefully, Qu Jianlei finally decided not to use the Mutated Beast Crystal.
The unpredictable risk was indeed too great; if the two components clashed, it would be a disaster.
It’s really because I’m too poor... Qu Jianlei thought to himself, not without a hint of self-mockery: Losing half a crystal is simply unaffordable.
He barely managed to endure until near midnight, when the last faint sensation of pain completely disappeared.
By then, Qu Jianlei had already consud three Nutrient Injections and taken nine sips of water.
He exhaled slowly, opened his eyes, and stood up to look around.
There was no one around, it was quiet.
He felt that his body still had so strength, carefully avoiding those traps, he walked to a relatively flat area.
Then he began to sink his Qi into the Dantian, focusing while performing a set of Eight Pieces of Brocade.
Due to the lack of similar exercises, once he finished a set of Eight Pieces of Brocade, his whole body started to heat up.
Feeling this heat, he simply practiced another set of "Five Animals Qigong".
It had been a long ti since he perford Five Animals Qigong, a bit clumsy at first, he finished one set and did another.
After finishing two sets, he was excited about practicing, and decided to do it again.
After exercising for a while, when he stopped, he felt refreshed.
Sweat had already started to form on his forehead, and he felt a little hungry, so he took out another tube of Nutrient Liquid to consu.
After drinking three more sips of water, and letting the sweat on his body settle slightly, inspiration struck him, so he sat cross-legged again to ditate.
Without hesitation, he grabbed half of the crystal, continuing to guard his Dantian with intent.
At the next mont, a surging wave of energy flowed into his body from his palm, rushing directly to his brain.
For a mont, Qu Jianlei felt like his head was about to split open; his vision darkened, and he almost passed out.
Steeling himself, he guided the energy in his brain, causing it to surge toward his Dantian.
Yet right after, it seed as though a small "lake" with a large head and small body appeared in his brain.
Miraculously, the cartoon figure’s big eyes showed a hint of... grievance?
Qu Jianlei wasn’t sure if he was hallucinating, but he knew clearly if he allowed the energy to flood his brain, he would burst into flas.
It’s not an adjective; it’s a verb.
So he ignored the appearance of the small lake, determinedly attempting to direct the energy into the Dantian...
He didn’t even know what route he should take to guide the energy into the Dantian, but he knew if he didn’t try, he’d be dood.
The headache grew increasingly painful, and he endured it with great effort, trying to maintain the last bit of clarity in his mind.
The intense pain continued for an unknown length of ti, then his whole body suddenly trembled.
The surge of energy slowly released, entering the blood vessels and muscles of his head, and was quickly absorbed by the ridians.
Following that, streams of heat surged into the Dantian along the ridians.
The swelling pain instantly reduced, and in his daze, Qu Jianlei seed to see the "small lake" again.
The large eyes appeared to show a mont of grievance, and perhaps so... joy?
Yet Qu Jianlei still couldn’t be sure whether it was a hallucination; these subtle cartoon expressions he designed back on Blue Star.
At the sa ti, he also realized that the "Naless Qi Refining Technique" seed to be operating autonomously.
This is... really absurd! He disliked imnsely being in a situation he couldn’t control.
The massive uncertainty might bring considerable harm to him.
However, he couldn’t stop it at all, or his brain might explode.
He attempted to record the way the heat was circulating within his body.
Regrettably, the intense pain in his brain forced him to focus all his attention on resisting it.
Then, it was... hunger again!
This perception wasn’t coming from his stomach but was directly transmitted to his brain from various parts of his body; hungry! Very hungry!! Extrely hungry!!!
Qu Jianlei squinted his eyes, grabbing two tubes of Nutrient Liquid, tearing them open and stuffing them into his mouth.
There was no need to consider whether his body could handle so much caloric intake; it was hardly enough!
Sure enough, not long after that, various parts of his body issued hunger warnings again.
After consuming another six Nutrient Injections, the throbbing pain in his brain reduced to a level barely allowing him to divert attention.
Qu Jianlei had been holding his breath, ready to divert his attention first and perceive the condition of his body.
The perception condition barely t the standards, and decisively, he began to ntally recite the "Naless Qi Refining Technique
