Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel-Chapter 517 - 357: True Talent

Chapter 517 -357: True Talent

Watching Nie Longhu talk assuredly, Chu Zheng couldn’t help feeling puzzled.

Through the cultivation of Qi-refining Techniques using a Spirit Tree Avatar, he never felt any discomfort. Although initially, it took some time to construct a channel through the Spirit Vortex in the Spirit Tree’s body, the subsequent progress went very smoothly.

Moreover, now that the Spirit Tree has successfully transformed and become a true Heavenly Immortal, this is enough to prove there is nothing wrong with this method.

“What Fellow Daoist Nie said is true.”

After pondering for a moment, Chu Zheng nodded in agreement without contradicting Nie Longhu.

Nie Longhu hailed from an authentic Taoist School and was a disciple of a renowned master. Although his cultivation was somewhat ordinary, he had lived long and had a wealth of experiences. If he felt that this path was impassable, it meant that he had already attempted to explore this approach during the tribulations of a Qi Cultivator’s transformation.

As for why other Qi Cultivators haven’t succeeded, there might be intricacies he didn’t understand, but there was no need to argue.

Since he could do it, he just needed to continue as such, with no need to compete over who was right.

Along the way, he had always been feeling out the path by crossing the river by feeling the stones underfoot, so it was normal for his path to differ from others.

“Your Qi refining progress is so rapid that your comprehension must be extremely high, and there’s no need to waste too much effort on these unorthodox methods, which would be more costly than beneficial.”

After advising him, Nie Longhu couldn’t help but voice his doubts:

“You once told me that when you first started to cultivate and introduced Qi into your body, it took you two and a half hours. Is that true?”

Given Chu Zheng’s talent as currently shown, that speed does not match his natural abilities at all.

Suddenly, Nie Longhu gestured towards Hao Mo, who had passed out beside them, and said in a serious tone:

“His talent for Qi refining is quite excellent. It took him only about half an hour to find his Qi Sensation. He has the potential to reach the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal. However, compared to you, he is still far behind.”

Two and a half hours to perceive Qi Sensation is considered quite good comprehension among many Qi Cultivators.

But compared to him, there’s still a considerable distance, not to mention Hao Mo.

“Oh?”

Chu Zheng felt slightly surprised, a flash of golden light swept through the depths of his eyes as he glanced at Hao Mo.

[Hao Mo (Eighth Order): Bone Age 642 years, Cultivation at the Early Stage of Heavenly Immortal, has not undergone tribulations, primarily practices the Taiqing Spirit Origin Scripture, possesses a Nine Orifices Golden Core, a Dao Seal protects his Primordial Spirit.]

“This fellow Daoist has never gone through tribulation?”

Looking at the information transmitted by the Spiritual Eye, Chu Zheng’s expression became solemn, filled with confusion. As a member of the Qi Refining Lineage, how could one possess such cultivation without having faced tribulation?

“Indeed, you are unlike ordinary people, to be able to discern this.”

Nie Longhu was somewhat surprised and then explained: “Junior Brother Hao is highly valued in our sect. The master has intervened several times to ward off tribulations for him, placing great hopes in him.”

Immediately afterward, Nie Longhu shifted the topic:

“But that’s all there is to it. The reason he was sent to the battlefield this time is to face tribulation on his own. Relying on protection under one’s wings makes it difficult for one to grow. As you’ve seen before, if the temperament is not honed, it’s hard to achieve greatness.”

Being only over six hundred years old and having never gone through the tribulation of transformation, such Qi Cultivators are indeed rare.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zheng couldn’t help raising an eyebrow. Inside Hao Mo’s divine soul was a protective Dao Seal, and even if he were to encounter peril, he likely wouldn’t face the danger of perishing.

It seems that the North Spirit Golden Immortal has an uncommon affection for Hao Mo. Among Qi Cultivators, where personal feelings are relatively faint, this kind of favoritism is quite rare.

Chu Zheng wasn’t sure if Nie Longhu was aware of this, but he didn’t point it out.

It was an affair within another person’s sect, and there was no need for him to intervene overly.

Having cultivated for a long time, compared to before, he had become much more restrained and was reluctant to expend energy on matters that didn’t concern him.

“I did not deceive Fellow Daoist previously; the first time I introduced energy into my body, it indeed took me more than two hours.”

Chu Zheng withdrew his gaze and spoke slowly, “At that time, when I channeled Qi into my body, I was in the Immortal Alliance Territory, subjected to some suppression. If it were in the outside world, it should have been faster.”

Nie Longhu suddenly realized; he had forgotten that the Immortal Alliance Great Realm is dominated by Immortal Path Cultivators. All other paths are indeed suppressed.

“I have never been to the Immortal Alliance regions, I’ve only heard occasionally that in the Great Realm, the Heavenly Dao Laws have a very strong suppressive force towards other Taoist Orthodoxies.”

A sense of curiosity arose in Nie Longhu’s eyes:

“For the living creatures of other Taoist Orthodoxies, just how much difference is there between the Immortal Alliance Great Realm and the Great Universe?”

This, he was not very clear about; the Immortal Alliance felt too remote to him.

The Taoist School’s Thirty-Three Heavens, located at the deepest part of the Myriad Realms, with the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield in between, placed the Immortal Alliance almost beyond the starry sky.

“Apart from the Immortal Path, the efficiency of cultivation for all other paths is probably not even one-tenth or one-twentieth of the outside world.”

Chu Zheng shook his head slightly, “However, I later practiced Immortal Law as well, so I didn’t feel much of this suppression.”

“One-tenth or one-twentieth…”

Nie Longhu was momentarily dazed; he had thought there might be significant suppression, but never imagined it would be so severe.

A difference of nearly tenfold—if that’s the case, the actual time for Chu Zheng’s Qi channeling is… less than a quarter of an hour?!

After realizing this, Nie Longhu’s heart lurched, and his blood nearly ran in reverse.

To channel Qi into the body within half an hour is to possess the potential of a Golden Immortal. Squeezing it within half an hour is exceptionally rare, akin to Junior Brother Hao who is expected to become a Primordial Golden Immortal, possibly rivaling the titans of the Realm of Ancient Myths.

And Chu Zheng’s speed is twice as fast as Junior Brother Hao’s.

The gap of doubled time represents a discrepancy in talent far surpassing tenfold or a hundredfold; every minute faster signifies a qualitative transformation.

It took a good while for Nie Longhu to regain his composure, his eyes increasingly complex. If not for the mismatched timings, he would almost suspect that Chu Zheng could be the reincarnation of an Ancestral Dao.

He didn’t even dare to consider the extent to which Chu Zheng’s talent had reached.

This kind of innate gift, to his knowledge, including even several Dao Lords and Taiqing Daozu, do not possess at all.

His thoughts shifted, recalling what Chu Zheng had just said, Nie Longhu’s expression suddenly lit up, his tone rising slightly:

“Fellow Daoist mentioned earlier, wanting to borrow the innate foundation of Plant Spirits to conserve efforts in surviving tribulations through avatars, have you already attempted this?”

In his sect, his talent was not considered top-notch, but his master greatly valued him for one aspect.

He was eager to learn.

In many of his avatar tribulations, he had seen some freaks of nature quite unlike ordinary people. So-called experience is utterly weak before the face of true talent.

Therefore, in every incarnation of tribulation, he adapted to the local customs, treating it as a brand-new life, with utmost caution.

Perhaps for this very reason, his effect in living through avatar tribulations is quite outstanding among his peers.

Of course, except for the two times with Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng did not conceal anything and nodded, “Indeed, I have tried, and the result was satisfactory.”

Upon hearing this, Nie Longhu’s expression instantly became serious, without any hesitation, he bowed deeply in a grand gesture:

“Previously, I was one who couldn’t see wood for the trees, unable to recognize gold-inlaid with jade. I hope Fellow Daoist will not be stingy in imparting your teachings!”
