Chapter 35 Not worth mentioning

"Huh? What's the point of this?"

Fang Chen also reacted now, but still didn't understand why Lin Qingshan did this.

The Daoxin oath is almost the highest level of oath for monks. Violation will lead to backlash, with the worst case being hemiplegia and the worst being sudden death on the spot.

Moreover, pledging loyalty for a hundred years is almost the maximum limit. The lifespan of a Qi-cultivating cultivator is no different from that of an ordinary person, and is basically two sixty years, or about one hundred and twenty years.

If he cannot break through the foundation-building stage and his life span reaches four sixty years, this oath is equivalent to serving Fang Chen for his entire life.

What's more, he also promised that he would never be his enemy and would do his best to meet his reasonable demands.

It seems a bit oversized anyway.

"Your gift is too precious to me. Apart from this, I can't think of anything else I can do to repay you."

Lin Qingshan said solemnly. In fact, he originally wanted to swear to do his best to meet all of Fang Chen's requirements, but he suddenly thought of the design plans proposed by Fang Chen and felt that it would be better to add an insurance.

"It's up to you, but for me, it would be a good reward if you can build the bamboo house according to my requirements first."

Fang Chen had never experienced the feeling of losing his cultivation, nor could he understand Lin Qingshan's joy after regaining it, but since the oath had been made and it was good for him, there was no reason to refuse.

"Don't worry. After the spiritual energy can be reused, I have a better plan to implement your design. I will go and oversee the construction of the bamboo building now."

As he said that, Lin Qingshan was about to run, but Fang Chen was quick to grab him.

Fortunately, Lin Qingshan felt that he was being pulled and stopped in time, otherwise Fang Chen would have been dragged away by him.

His physical fitness is already stronger than Fang Chen, a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi training.

Fang Chen also felt the improvement brought by the Blood Spirit Bone Vine, and made up his mind: "After observing and finding no side effects, I will make one for myself."

"what happened?"

Lin Qingshan scratched his head, not knowing why Fang Chen stopped him.

"Let's first talk about the symbiotic feeling of the Blood Spirit Bone Vine. The improvement to your body is very significant, I have already felt it. What about other aspects? For example, is there any difference between the way you absorb spiritual energy now and when you had spiritual roots before?"

This is the first time Fang Chen has encountered a spiritual plant that can coexist with humans, so naturally he has to explore it carefully and get first-hand information from the person involved.

"Oh, my body has become much lighter and my strength has also increased. As for the absorption of spiritual energy, I haven't felt it carefully yet. I'll try it later."

By moving his arms, Lin Qingshan was able to determine the changes in his body.

As for how absorbing spiritual energy was different from before, if Fang Chen hadn't mentioned it, he would not have thought of this because he was so immersed in the joy of being able to absorb spiritual energy again.

"Do you mind if I use my spiritual power to investigate?"

Fang Chen had used his spiritual sense to investigate Lin Qingshan before, but at that time the two were not on friendly terms. If he wanted to do so again now, he would still have to obtain Lin Qingshan's consent.

"Of course. I haven't started training again yet, so I don't have any secrets to hide."

Lin Qingshan agreed very readily. As he said, as he was basically a mortal, he didn't need to worry about his secrets being discovered.

What's more, being able to practice again was a gift from Fang Chen. Even if the other party wanted to use spiritual thoughts to investigate him after practicing, he would definitely cooperate.

"Ah."

Fang Chen nodded, then released his spiritual thoughts, and Lin Qingshan also cooperated and began to absorb spiritual energy.

"Oh, you also have spiritual consciousness? No, I should say that after you start practicing again, can your spiritual consciousness be restored directly?"

When Lin Qingshan was absorbing spiritual energy, Fang Chen immediately noticed that he was using spiritual thoughts to speed up the absorption of spiritual energy.

Before Lin Qingshan lost his cultivation, he was definitely more than the fifth level of Qi training. It was normal for him to have spiritual thoughts at that time, but now that he has just started to absorb spiritual energy, can he condense spiritual thoughts again?
"Spiritual thoughts are related to the soul. My body has degenerated to the state of a mortal, but my soul has not. As long as I come into contact with spiritual energy, I can condense spiritual thoughts with the powerful power of my soul." Lin Qingshan stopped absorbing spiritual energy and explained to Fang Chen, then said: "My original spiritual roots were four attributes, without fire. Through the symbiotic blood spirit bone vine, I can sense five kinds of spiritual energy, but the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is obviously much faster, not much worse than after I practiced the blood-sucking magic, and the converted mana is more pure. It's so strange."

"This is a normal phenomenon. I guess it has something to do with the unity of yin and yang."

Fang Chen also told Lin Qingshan about his previous guesses, but he concealed his own abilities and modified the content related to the characteristics of his spiritual roots.

"It turns out that there are so many benefits to dual cultivation. No wonder my friends are so addicted to it."

Lin Qingshan nodded to show that he understood.

"By the way, what was your cultivation level before you lost your spiritual roots? Your soul power is so strong, and doesn't the soul power need to be in the same spiritual environment as the body?"

After the explanation, Fang Chen also raised his own questions.

“Although the power of the soul will increase as our cultivation level improves, it does not rely on spiritual energy to become stronger, so naturally there is no need for a spiritual environment. It’s just that our magic power and soul power can be fused into spiritual thoughts.

"When the soul power is not strong enough, you need to open up the hand sun meridian to allow the magic power to be closer to the soul. Therefore, it is usually necessary to condense the spiritual thoughts at the fifth level of Qi training. As long as the soul power is strong enough, you can actively let the soul power come to the Dantian to find the magic power and condense the spiritual thoughts."

Lin Qingshan first answered the latter question, and also allowed Fang Chen to confirm that he was able to condense his spiritual thoughts in advance because his soul was strong enough.

"As for me, I had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training before I lost my spiritual roots, but this is not the reason why my soul power is strong. It is because I am naturally gifted in this area. Otherwise, I would have made some achievements in formations, prohibitions, and runes. These three require strong soul power."

Speaking of this, Lin Qingshan couldn't help but feel a little proud.

These words also made Fang Chen understand why he could understand formations, prohibitions and runes so easily. It was not only because of his mathematical foundation in his previous life, but also because of his powerful soul power.

“It is precisely because of my talents in these three areas that I was unwilling to be unable to break through the foundation-building stage for my entire life, so I embarked on the evil path. I also advise you not to practice the blood-sucking magic. Even if you only devour the blood of wild beasts, your personality will change. You may look clear-headed, but in fact your heart has become paranoid and twisted, and you will eventually embark on the path of devouring human blood…”

Lin Qingshan's words were absolutely from the bottom of his heart. He suddenly felt fortunate now. If he had not met that evil cultivator before swallowing human blood, he would probably not be alive today.

Seeing his sad look, Fang Chen did not say anything to comfort him, because he suddenly thought of someone.

Li Ji.

When he first traveled to this world, this guy not only came to mock him, but also tried to force him to death.

Even if the original owner had some conflicts with him in the past, it would not have reached this extent.

Now that I think about it, he had definitely been affected by the Blood-sucking Divine Art at that time.

"Sorry, I was thinking about some past events and lost my composure a little bit."

Soon, Lin Qingshan recovered from the unbearable state of recalling the past.

"It's okay. I also want to thank you for answering a question I had."

Fang Chen waved his hand and said with a smile.

"What questions?"

Lin Qingshan was very curious.

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

Fang Chen smiled even more happily.

　Today is the first update. Today’s new books have been added to the library, and new recommendations have not been made yet, so I will lay the groundwork for a few chapters of the plot. I hope you will support me.
