The next day.
The first rays of the rising sun, shedding a faint light. “Cough—cough cough!”
Zhou Li, still not fully awake, lay in bed coughing violently.
As if he was about to cough up his lungs.
Gasping for breath in bed for quite a while, he finally felt his condition slightly recovered.
After getting out of bed and wrapping himself in thick cotton clothes, Zhou Li shakily walked outside.
When he arrived in the backyard, he happened to bump into Chen Sheng, who was carrying a plastic bag.
“You’re finally awake, old man.”
Chen Sheng had a warm smile on his face, as if he was in a very good mood.
Zhou Li didn’t respond, still holding his head all the time.
For some reason, he felt dizzy after sleeping, and even now, his head was still foggy.
At this moment,
Zhou Li scanned his surroundings, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
His nose kept sniffing the air.
“What’s that smell?”
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng raised the plastic bag in his hand.
“This smell.”
Arriving at the stone table, the plastic bag was opened by him.
A mist rose.
In it were more than a dozen steaming big meat buns…as well as shumai and tea eggs.
“No, that’s not it.”
Zhou Li shook his head, still frowning.
He craned his neck, searching around, his nose twitching from time to time, like a white-haired rat.
“It’s the smell of blood!!”
After sniffing for a while, Zhou Li suddenly looked up at Chen Sheng.
“What did you do last night?”
“Were you up to something in my courtyard?!”
The smile on Chen Sheng’s face gradually faded.
He nonchalantly reached into his pocket, took out his phone, and swiped the screen.
Meanwhile, he walked slowly up to Zhou Li and looked down at him from above.
Zhou Li was not scared at all and stared back at Chen Sheng, whose eyes were full of pressure.
Then,
Chen Sheng showed Zhou Li his phone.
The phone’s camera was open, and it was switched to selfie mode.
“Silly old man, I didn’t even bother to point it out.”
“Did you cough out your brain?
As Chen Sheng spoke,
Zhou Li’s face was also reflected on the phone screen.
He saw that the lower half of his face was almost covered with black blood clots.
Presumably, this was the origin of the smell of blood…
“Cough, cough.”
Zhou Li immediately coughed again, pretending to hide his embarrassment.
Chen Sheng rolled his eyes at him.
He was originally quite respectful of the elderly, but for some reason, he always felt the urge to fight back against Zhou Li.
“Quickly go wash your face and eat.”
Under Chen Sheng’s annoyed urging, Zhou Li jogged to the nearby sink to wash his hands.
However, halfway through washing,
Zhou Li’s gaze fixed.
He suddenly noticed that there were drops of blood on the edge of the sink.
He rubbed it with his fingers, and the bloodstains were quickly removed.
He sniffed his fingers near his nose.
There was a scent.
Apparently, it hadn’t been there for long.
Zhou Li didn’t say anything more.
He silently washed his face and sat down at the stone table to eat breakfast.
Halfway through,
“Kid, how does it feel to become a Qi-sensor?”
Zhou Li asked as if it was nothing.
“It feels great.”
Chen Sheng was fully focused on his breakfast and didn’t even look up as he spoke.
“Actually, when the Tide Rising Period began, I also really wanted to be a Qi-sensor.”
Zhou Li sighed, speaking with emotion.
“Don’t judge me by my appearance; I’m actually quite afraid of dying.”
“I want to be alive to see how the world changes due to the emergence of
Qi-sensors and Heavenly People. I want to be part of the change.”
“I also want to live to see the Eagle Body Sect grow stronger.”
As he said this,
Zhou Li put down the bun in his hand and rubbed his nose.
The air had been dry lately, and his nostrils always felt a burning pain.
Every time he breathed, he felt as if his lungs were like a broken bellows, making a wheezing sound.
“But I’ve seen too many Qi-sensors lose themselves because they possess power.”
“Having power, you can easily kill those you dislike; you can make others fear, dread, and tremble.”
“With power, you can easily obtain everything that you once dreamed of as an ordinary person.” “This is the road many powerful people have taken.”
“Do you think it’s right?”
Zhou Li stared at Chen Sheng intently.
His life experience might not be rich, but it’s not measly either.
During the short time he had spent with Chen Sheng, he had realized that the young man in front of him was at a crossroads in his life.
One path led to seizing everything with power, acting recklessly, and lawlessly.
The other path was to not abuse power, only using it to protect oneself and the people around them.
These two paths were very similar.
But a single misstep could make it difficult to turn back.
Others might not know, but Zhou Li was very clear that those who took the first path almost never ended well.
After all, there were too many strong masters in the world, and there were always people better than you, and heaven beyond heaven.
Ruling with power, one day you’ll be crushed by a stronger force.
That’s why he wanted to persuade Chen Sheng, urging him not to be blinded by power.
“I only kill those who deserve to die.”
“Who sets the boundaries?”
Question and answer.
It was the same as the day when Chen Sheng became Light Energy and talked with Shen Ziming.
Only this time,
Chen Sheng was the one being questioned. At this point,
Zhou Li sighed deeply again and said nothing.
Chen Sheng also remained silent.
The two of them quietly ate their breakfast.
After finishing,
As Chen Sheng was cleaning up the plastic bag, he suddenly thought of something.
“Old man, how can I get a large amount of spirit medicine?”
Spirit medicine can greatly accelerate the speed of one’s growth in strength.
But there are only six in stock now, which can hardly last for several days.
No matter what the future holds.
Chen Sheng at the moment just wants to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
The awkward silence between the two just now seemed to have disappeared. Hearing Chen Sheng’s question, Zhou Li thought about it and replied.
“Two ways.”
“Go on.”
“The first is to buy a lot of flowers and seeds and plant them. With good luck, some of them may become spirit medicine.”
“Tell me the second way.”
The first method was nonsense.
If spirit medicine were so easy to come by, a lot of people wouldn’t be struggling to find it.
“The second method is to use spirit seeds.”
“Spirit seeds, as in the seeds of spirit medicine?” Chen Sheng looked at Zhou Li with some confusion.
But Zhou Li shook his head.
“It could be, but not necessarily.”
“Spirit seeds refer to certain life forms or objects with extremely high Qi content.”
“These things will constantly diffuse Qi to their surroundings, increasing the Qi concentration within a small range.”
“If you cultivate a piece ot land and place spirit seeds, then the flowers and plants grown on that land will have a very high probability of becoming spirit medicine.”
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng’s eyes lit up.
“So does that mean if I kill a person with a high in-body Qi concentration, their corpse will be a spirit seed?”
“Then I can bury them in the ground, and then—”
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Before Chen Sheng could finish, Zhou Li immediately raised his hand to interrupt.
He stared at Chen Sheng with a strange expression.
“Your thinking is very wrong.”
“What’s wrong with it?”
Chen Sheng didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he said and asked with a puzzled look.
Zhou Li opened his mouth to argue.
But when the words reached his mouth, they wouldn’t come out. Actually… it seems… there isn’t anything wrong with it.
“Forget it, forget it, I won’t talk to you.”
After holding his breath for a while, Zhou Li, who didn’t know what to argue, waved his hand in frustration.
“You go do whatever you want, leave me alone.”
With that,
He returned to his room with his hands behind his back.
Boom!
The wooden door was closed heavily.
But Chen Sheng immediately went after him.
“Hey, old man, you haven’t told me what other ways I can get spirit seeds besides the method I mentioned?”
Under Chen Sheng’s persistent knocking,
The wooden door opened again with a clatter. Zhou Li glared at him with irritation.
“Yes!”
“You participate in the Fuhai Province Martial Arts Conference, and as long as you come out on top, you can get a spirit seed.”
With that said,
There was another bang, and the wooden door was closed again.
“Martial Arts Conference?”
Chen Sheng muttered.
This was the first time he’d heard of it.
He wanted to knock on the door again and ask what the Martial Arts Conference was all about. But this time,
Zhou Li wouldn’t open the door.
Helplessly, Chen Sheng had to leave.
He planned to start his training for the day and asked Zhou Li about it later.
At this time,
Inside the room.
Seeing Chen Sheng finally give up, Zhou Li finally let out a sigh of relief.
But then,
He looked somewhat annoyed and knocked on his head.
“Really fucking can’t keep my mouth shut.”
He was already somewhat regretful for telling Chen Sheng about the Martial Arts Conference.
The Martial Arts Conference was not just child’s play.
Quanjiang City falls under Fuhai Province.
The Martial Arts Conference is attended by martial arts sects from the entire Fuhai Province, competing for rankings through martial arts.
Although it is said to be point-based.
But to win, one must go all out, so there is no such thing as a point-based competition.
Therefore,
Every Martial Arts Conference has a large number of casualties.
Furthermore, the scope of the Martial Arts Conference is the entire Fuhai Province, with countless masters in it.
The martial arts halls in Quanjiang City haven’t even made the ranking in the past ten years or so.
From this, it can be seen how many powerful people and masters there are.
Disciples below Transforming Power in various martial arts halls don’t even have the qualifications to participate.
Chen Sheng’s strength, perhaps, has a say in Quanjiang City.
But when it comes to the entire Fuhai Province, it’s far from enough..
