Looks like I need to make time to learn some detective skills.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to discover the secret even if it was hidden right next to you.
"Zhongli, don't worry about whether we are spiritual practitioners or not."
Who gave you this cultivation method? Is it authentic or not? You can't cultivate something that's not authentic.
This will have a significant impact on the future.
Zhang Jinglan said anxiously.
How could they not be anxious? Zhongli is a chosen one they have their eye on, and he's also a citizen of the Celestial Empire.
Chen Miaomiao also clung to Zhong Li's clothes with worry.
"Yes, Brother Zhong."
Unorthodox cultivation methods result in an incomplete spiritual energy circulation system.
Subsequent breakthroughs in cultivation levels will be fraught with difficulties.
Seeing that the two were anxious, Zhongli could only suppress her doubts and explain.
"Don't worry, the technique is absolutely authentic."
I used my hacking skills to search for numerous cultivation methods online and combined them with deduction.
"There's definitely no problem."
Zhongli naturally wouldn't talk about the system.
Therefore, you can just say it's your own deduction.
Given his usual monstrous behavior, this excuse is quite fitting.
Sure enough, Zhongli's explanation was heard.
The anxiety on the two women's faces lessened considerably, but there was still a hint of disbelief in their eyes.
"Zhongli, are you serious?"
I know you're very smart; you can easily reach the top in anything you learn and push your body to its limits.
But to deduce cultivation methods on one's own is too exaggerated.
"Yes, Brother Zhong."
Why don't we check if your internal spiritual energy circulation system is intact?
If it's incomplete, it can be repaired.
Seeing that the two were still somewhat skeptical, Zhong Li thought for a moment and then agreed to Chen Miaomiao's suggestion.
After all, he was his best friend and fellow townsman; showing the two of them would put his mind at ease.
"Alright, then you guys help me check if the spiritual energy circulation system in my body is intact."
Seeing that Zhongli agreed to the proposal, Chen Miaomiao hurriedly reached out and grabbed Zhongli's hand.
Zhang Jinglan was also curious, so she grabbed the other hand, wanting to know what kind of cultivation method Zhongli had deduced.
Soon, two streams of spiritual energy, carrying consciousness, entered Zhongli's body.
After a while, the two let go of each other's hands, and Zhang Jinglan stared wide-eyed at Zhong Li.
"Zhongli, you are truly too extraordinary."
The spiritual energy circulation system is more than complete.
He even opened a dantian in his heart, enabling him to cultivate at a lossless frequency, and even double his spiritual energy storage.
It's far more powerful than our cultivation methods.
"If my spiritual energy circulation system hadn't completely frozen, I'd want to learn from you."
It should be noted that the spiritual energy circulation system built by normal cultivators cannot cultivate automatically.
One can only choose one time period per day to cultivate and cleanse the physical body; the rest of the time is spent practicing spiritual arts.
Because the physical body has a saturation point when it is subjected to the cleansing and cultivation of spiritual energy, commonly known as fatigue.
When the spiritual energy washes over a certain threshold, the physical body's response to the spiritual energy will gradually decrease and eventually become ineffective.
If the scouring continues, it could lead to the collapse of the body and spirit, rendering the person useless.
Otherwise, if anyone could just shut themselves away and cultivate indefinitely, wouldn't they become invincible?
Compared to Zhang Jinglan's amazement, Chen Miaomiao was somewhat reproachful.
"Brother Zhong, you're taking too much risks."
The heart is such a delicate organ, how can you move it around carelessly?
If you're not careful during the process of building your dantian, your heart could explode.
Indeed, the most difficult part of the [Spiritual Field Furnace Core] is constructing the dantian at the heart, which requires extremely high spiritual power control.
Otherwise, one wrong move and your heart could explode.
But how can someone who has just awakened their spirituality have that kind of control? Only someone like Zhongli, who has a system, can train like that.
In response to Chen Miaomiao's blame, Zhong Li gently ruffled her emerald green hair and comforted her.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't do this if I wasn't absolutely sure."
Alright, since there's nothing wrong with my cultivation method, let's talk about your situation.
I'm very curious about the identities of you spiritualists.
Upon hearing this, Chen Miaomiao, who had been feeling happy after having her head rubbed, suddenly showed a hint of panic in her eyes.
Because her identity is not something that ordinary people can accept.
P.S.: New book launch! Please give me flowers, monthly tickets, and ratings! I'm begging for your support!
Chapter 6: The Taoist nun of Longhu Mountain, the Gu master of Miao territory.
Zhang Jinglan had anticipated Zhong Li's inquiry about their identities and greeted him with a smile and a gesture of respect.
"Celestial Masters Sect, Longhu Mountain, Zhang Jinglan."
Hehe, you didn't guess that, did you?
Upon hearing the name of Longhu Mountain, Zhong Li was taken aback, not expecting that Zhang Jinglan was actually a young Taoist nun.
Then he remembered Zhang Jinglan, who always wore a Taoist nun's hairstyle, and suddenly realized.
"Sigh, I should have thought of that earlier. Who would wear a Taoist nun's hairstyle for no reason?"
Zhongli sighed, annoyed that no one had noticed anything amiss with such an eye-catching hairstyle.
Turning to look at Chen Miaomiao beside him, Zhong Li's eyes were filled with a deep recollection of their past interactions.
When Chen Miaomiao eats lunch, there are always some insects in it.
Such as locusts, centipedes, mantises, fat worms, silkworm pupae, and other strange-looking insects.
I never doubted it before because these things are made possible by the culinary techniques of China.
It's definitely edible, plump and juicy, and refreshingly crisp.
He had also eaten a few of Chen Miaomiao's insects, and they did taste quite good.
So let's just say that eating insects is Chen Miaomiao's hobby.
Thinking about it now, it seems very unreasonable. Who would eat insects every day? Even if they taste delicious, you would get tired of them eventually.
After considering all the circumstances, Zhong Li had already guessed Chen Miaomiao's identity.
"Miaomiao, your identity... you wouldn't happen to be a Gu worm master from Miao territory, would you?"
Zhong Li spoke his guess, looking at Chen Miaomiao with curiosity in his eyes.
Upon realizing that her identity had been guessed, Chen Miaomiao, whose face was already pale, turned even paler.
His eyes were darting around, and he raised his hand as if to explain something.
"Um, um, I...I..."
Seeing that Chen Miaomiao looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't, Zhong Li blinked in confusion.
"Did I guess wrong?"
Seeing her best friend's flustered state, Zhang Jinglan sighed and explained.
"Miao Miao is indeed a Gu worm master from Miao territory, and a very powerful one at that."
Upon hearing Zhang Jinglan reveal her identity, Chen Miaomiao immediately fell silent.
She just looked at Zhongli with apprehension in her eyes, which made Zhongli stare blankly.
It took Zhongli quite a while to react.
Does this girl think he's afraid of Gu worm masters?
Although the image of a Gu worm master playing with insects is indeed not good, to make him afraid would be to underestimate him.
Zhong Li reached out and pressed down on Chen Miaomiao's emerald green hair, ruffled it vigorously, and spoke earnestly.
"Miaomiao, there's no need to worry that I'm scared."
In my impression, Gu worm masters are pretty cool.
Yes, I'm talking about the Great Love Immortal Venerable.
Extremely high-class.
It is said that those who meet the Great Love Immortal Venerable will have the chance to obtain a private seat amidst a sea of people.
Seeing that Zhongli didn't seem to mind, Chen Miaomiao's anxiety vanished. She didn't care about her disheveled hair and expressed her gratitude.
"Thank you... thank you, Brother Zhong."
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
Just then, the bell rang for the first class.
The three, who had intended to continue their conversation, stopped and decided to have a proper chat during their lunch break.
Time flew by in the classroom, and soon it was noon.
Zhong Li, Chen Miaomiao, and Zhang Jinglan took their lunchboxes to the rooftop and sat down at a large dining table.
There were no dining tables on the school rooftop, and students were prohibited from going up there.
However, Zhongli used some connections and his privileges to get control of the rooftop.
The three of them opened their lunchboxes and started eating.
Zhong Li looked curiously into Chen Miaomiao's lunchbox.
"Hmm, is it deep-fried grasshoppers today?"
It smells delicious.
As he spoke, Zhongli's chopsticks unconsciously reached into Chen Miaomiao's lunchbox.
Chen Miaomiao naturally gave some to Zhong Li.
Zhong Li was the same way; he was always curious about the insects she brought every day and wanted to try some.
So she would do more.
Zhongli picked up a brown grasshopper about the length of a finger, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.
Crispy and delicious, with a unique spicy aroma filling the mouth and taste buds as you chew.
Seeing how much the two of them were enjoying their meal, Zhang Jinglan, who was standing next to them, also felt the urge to pick up her chopsticks.
But looking at that ferocious grasshopper, he still couldn't make up his mind and could only bury his head in eating his own food.
Zhongli, who had just finished eating a grasshopper, suddenly asked Chen Miaomiao out of curiosity.
"Miaomiao, why do you eat these things every day?"
