"Jian Xing? Why is he looking for me? Isn't he seriously injured?"
Thinking about it, Zhou Bai felt he wasn't very familiar with Jian Xing and decided to continue reading the next star point's content to satisfy his curiosity first.
Sumeru - Immovable: Remain still, turning into a convergence point of spiritual energy, greatly increasing the recovery speed of stamina, energy, and injuries.
Cultivation Method: (Directly skipped by Zhou Bai)
Lazy Energy (???): (Not enough Primordial Spirit value, unable to cultivate)
When he saw the introduction of Sumeru - Immovable, Zhou Bai was surprised.
"This is telling me to never turn back on the path of a meat shield, huh?"
"But it's also very useful for recovering stamina and energy in daily life."
Seeing the prompt (Not enough Primordial Spirit value, unable to cultivate), Zhou Bai frowned.
Christina giggled and said, "You've hit a bottleneck."
Zhou Bai: "What do you mean?"
Christina explained, "The cultivation of the divine map requires the support of Primordial Spirit value. The further you advance on the Taiyin Roulette, the more powerful Primordial Spirit you need. If your Primordial Spirit value is high enough, the cultivation speed of the divine map will also increase greatly."
"In my opinion, your infusion of Lazy Energy speeds up your cultivation process by hundreds or thousands of times, allowing you to complete your cultivation instantly. It doesn't mean you can ignore the cultivation requirements. For instance, your sixth star point clearly doesn't have enough with just 99 Primordial Spirit value."
Zhou Bai: "So, my next goal is to increase my Dao Transformation, right?"
Zhou Bai again recalled the current world's cultivation framework: Dao Transformation is the realm, Primordial Spirit value is the basic attribute, and the divine map represents various passive and active skills.
To cultivate the divine map, you need sufficient Primordial Spirit value, and when your Primordial Spirit value reaches its limit, you need to enhance your Dao Transformation to continue increasing it.
Zhou Bai: "This is troublesome. I haven't attended classes for days, so I don't know how to increase my Dao Transformation. Should I ask Mr. Lu tomorrow?"
"But I just bragged in front of him. It wouldn't look good to go back now, would it?"
Christina: "Can't you directly use Lazy Energy to increase it? You were too low in cultivation before. Now you can still increase it by about 0.1%, 0.2%, no problem."
Zhou Bai wasn't as carefree as Christina. Witnessing the aberration firsthand, he forever remembered the horror of twisting the Heavenly Dao.
Before thoroughly studying the relevant knowledge, he wouldn't use Lazy Energy to enhance his Dao Transformation.
Just as Zhou Bai was hesitating back and forth, a constant knocking sounded.
Jian Xing: "Hey, Zhou Bai, when are you going to open the door?"
Zhou Bai then remembered that there was someone outside looking for him.
But he wasn't familiar with Jian Xing at all. Why come looking for him? And just after being seriously injured?
Finding it strange, Zhou Bai became even more cautious, especially after encountering so many strange events since arriving in this world.
So he directly absorbed Christina into his sea of consciousness, then walked to the door...
"Just lying there... that would be too weird, right?"
Thinking about it, Zhou Bai took a chair and sat by the door, then opened it, looking at Jian Xing: "Jian Xing, do you need something?"
Seeing Zhou Bai sitting by the door, Jian Xing was slightly stunned, but quickly said, "Zhou Bai, I have something important to discuss with you."
"Hmm, go ahead, I'm listening."
Jian Xing: "No, it's too crowded here. Everyone's cultivators; let's go somewhere quiet."
"Not convenient," Zhou Bai scratched his head, "I'm very busy these days, no time to go out."
Jian Xing: "We can talk, and I'll treat you to a meal afterward."
"Why so formal? We're classmates."
Zhou Bai stood up with a bright smile and suddenly stomped his foot, calling out to the side, "Elsa, why are you nudging me? Nudging doesn't mean I'll take you to eat. The classmate's treating me. Do you think it's appropriate to bring a dog?"
Elsa, who did nothing: (⊙_⊙)?
Zhou Bai, embarrassed, looked at Jian Xing: "This dog grew up with me, we eat and live together. Seeing I'm going out to eat, it wants to join... really doesn't understand rules, spoiled by me."
Jian Xing: "... …"
Zhou Bai turned back to glare at Elsa: "Why nudge me again? I told you, you can't go. You'll be hungry tonight. Even if you starve, no help."
Jian Xing waved his hand to stop Zhou Bai: "Don't say that. I'll treat both of you. Let's go."
"You see, this is how it goes. I'm really sorry." Zhou Bai said while quickly leading Elsa, and then shaking Jian Xing's hand: "You, my friend, are set."
At this moment, in Zhou Bai's eyes, Jian Xing had already turned into a big meal card.
Jian Xing smiled awkwardly, leading Zhou Bai away from the dorm, heading north along a secluded path.
As the surroundings became increasingly deserted, Zhou Bai asked, "Is this far enough? Jian Xing, what do you want to talk about?"
Jian Xing sighed: "Zhou Bai, you are really lucky."
Zhou Bai: "Lucky?"
Jian Xing's clothes fluttered slightly, his whole being seemed a bit illusory as he said, "Your talent is enviable. With the same cultivation time, you effortlessly achieve ten times the results of others."
Zhou Bai: "Um, actually not just ten times. I think at least twenty."
Jian Xing suddenly turned, glaring at Zhou Bai, making Zhou Bai a little embarrassed and turning his head aside.
The atmosphere grew silent again. Zhou Bai, seeing they were venturing deeper, stopped his steps: "Is this good enough? What's up, Jian Xing?"
Jian Xing also halted, his body seeming a bit darker: "A bit further. I know a spot with a nice view."
Zhou Bai waved his hand: "Here then. I'm hungry. Let's finish quickly and eat."
Jian Xing's body trembled slightly, his clothes pulsing, as if something under them was moving.
Jian Xing's voice turned raspy: "Zhou Bai… I am troubled…"
"Why… why did things turn out this way…"
Zhou Bai froze slightly, and in the next moment, he felt a surge of Primordial Spirit power rushing towards him, directly striking his body.
Zhou Bai's body flew back suddenly, falling to the ground with a thud.
Jian Xing turned, revealing a face where facial muscles twisted and contorted as if something was trying to break out.
'Strange, I didn't even touch him, and he fell?'
Watching the Shiba Inu, whining and fleeing, Jian Xing ignored the dog, just twisted his neck. For safety, Primordial Spirit power surged again, forming an invisible palm descending from the sky, harshly slamming towards the fallen Zhou Bai.
With a thunderous boom, the ground around seemed to quake, yet Jian Xing was surprised to see Zhou Bai unharmed.
Dust flew from the ground beside Zhou Bai, but Zhou Bai himself was untouched.
Even in Jian Xing's perception, the slap with 99 Primordial Spirit power did not harm Zhou Bai at all.
