Previously, Mark failed to unleash his potential, but Bai Yuekui actually took the initiative to find Mark and said that he would help him unleash his potential through training.
Bai Yuekui's training is physical training.
So Mark secretly practiced source energy cultivation while also doing physical training with Bai Yuekui, and his strength began to increase significantly.
Besides physical training, Bai Yuekui also played video games with Mark...
It's euphemistically called a balance between work and rest, and incidentally, it enhances the brain's control over the body.
Jingyuan did not train with them; Mark's training was too low-intensity for Jingyuan and had no effect.
Jingyuan enjoyed chatting with Xia Tianlai, and it was from Xia Tianlai that he learned some things about source energy cultivation.
The story begins with the ancient kingdom of Heluo.
The ancient people of the Heluo Kingdom discovered long ago that there is a peculiar energy in the universe, which they called "Qi".
They believed that Qi was the origin of all things.
Through the cultivation of Qi, humanity has acquired terrifying power.
However, as times have changed, Qi has become increasingly scarce. Consequently, fewer and fewer people are able to perceive Qi.
Humanity has entered the Dharma-ending Age!
Later, technological civilization gradually emerged.
As Jingyuan listened to Xia Tianlai's story, he became increasingly convinced that the Qi he was talking about was the source energy!
Now that the source energy is scarce, the number of people who can sense it has greatly decreased, and the number of people who can use it for cultivation is even smaller.
What caused the decrease in Qi? Have you found the cause?
Xia Tianlai shook his head. "From the ancient Heluo Kingdom to the present, countless ancestors have tried to figure out the cause of the Dharma-ending Age, but none of them have any clues. We have even less information, and we don't know where to begin."
"Therefore, compared to spiritual practice, awakening our potential is easier for us."
"That's not quite right. After all, we're missing cultivation methods right now. If we had cultivation methods, although we wouldn't be as powerful as the cultivators of the past, we should be able to create more warriors like the Awakened Ones."
Having discussed this, Jingyuan had a general plan for what was to come.
Jingyuan continued to ask, "Elder Xia, according to what you said, besides fully mastering their own potential, Awakened Ones cannot absorb Qi for cultivation, so they can only rely on weapons to improve their strength."
Xia Tian nodded. "That's right, we can also rely on weapons."
"I'm very curious about Boss Bai's knife. I used it once. I discovered that besides being exceptionally sharp, her knife could also pin down a Devouring Beast. Why is that?"
Xia Tianlai didn't hide anything, but said with considerable pride, "Because that knife was forged from the bones of a King-level Devouring Beast. And King-level Devouring Beasts occupy the high end of the ecological niche, so they naturally have a suppressive effect on some ordinary Devouring Beasts."
Jing Yuan asked in surprise, "Bones can be used to forge weapons?"
"Of course, the bones from Devouring Beasts are good materials. However, ordinary Devouring Beasts won't do; they must be at least at the King level."
Seeing Jingyuan's longing expression, Xia Tianlai teased, "What? You want it?"
"May I?"
Xia Tian said, "Of course! Our Dragon Bone Village is a free market. As long as you can afford the price, you can buy anything!"
Where can I buy it?
Do you know Belenkov?
Jingyuan shook his head. "I don't know."
"He has a beautiful daughter named Kolova!"
"okay I know!"
"That old guy is the weapons foundry in our village."
"Did he forge Boss Bai's knife?"
Xia Tian shook his head. "No. But he inherited this craft. You can ask him; if you can provide him with what he needs, perhaps he can forge a weapon for you."
After leaving Xia Tianlai's residence, Jing Yuan followed his directions and found the only blacksmith shop in the village.
As Jingyuan entered the blacksmith shop, he bumped into a beautiful woman with a slender figure.
Hello! You must be Kolova!
"It's you!"
Kolova also had some impression of Jingyuan.
"What are you doing here?"
"I want to find Belenkov..." Jing Yuan couldn't think of a proper way to address him. Should he call him Master? Boss?
"Who's looking for me?"
Jingyuan was still thinking of what to call him when a burly man came out of the inner room.
Belenkov was very muscular, with a head of silver hair, like a polar bear.
Jingyuan looked at Belenkov, then at Kolova, finding it hard to believe that they were actually father and daughter.
“Hello! Belenkov…senior!” Jing Yuan smiled. “My name is Jing Yuan, from the Lighthouse!”
"You're Jing Yuan!"
It was clear that Belenkov had also heard of Jingyuan's name.
Yes. You've heard of me?
“Of course!” Belenkov laughed. “What brings you here?”
Since they had asked directly, Jing Yuan didn't beat around the bush. "I've heard that you can forge powerful weapons, so I'd like to buy one from you?"
"Oh, you're here to buy weapons. Do you have any money?"
Jing Yuan was taken aback. "Do you need the village's crystal coins, or would you like to barter?"
Belenkov looked at Jing Yuan with great interest. "I've heard Boss Bai mention you. You're very powerful. I can do this for you without using crystal coins. Promise me three things, and I can make you a weapon. How about it?"
"Three items?" Jing Yuan smiled. "Tell me!"
"First thing, you'll do something for the village: go out and collect supplies! That's your specialty, so you shouldn't have any problem!"
Jing Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "No problem."
"The second thing is to kill a King-level Devouring Beast!"
"Huh?" Jing Yuan wondered if he had misheard. "King-level?"
He had never even seen what a monarch-level being looked like, and he didn't know if he could defeat one.
Belenkov explained, "To forge a weapon, you need to pay for labor and materials. If you help the village, that covers the labor cost. But what about the materials?"
Jingyuan nodded, agreeing that what he said made sense.
"However, I don't need you to kill a King-level Devouring Beast right away. Although you can defeat bio-weapons, you may not be able to kill a King-level one. You can go to my warehouse and pick out a weapon for me, consider it a loan, and bring me some King-level materials later."
Upon hearing this, Jingyuan exclaimed with delight, "Thank you so much!" Jingyuan then asked, "And the third item?"
"The third thing?" Belenkov said angrily, "Go and beat up that brat Pokong for me!"
Chapter 155 New Weapons
Jingyuan looked completely bewildered.
"Senior Belenkov, who is this Pokong? Do you have a grudge against him?"
“I have a grudge against him! He bullied my daughter. If I weren’t too old to outrun him, I would have given him a good beating.”
Jingyuan frowned. "Are there people like this in the village?" He glanced at Kolova beside him. It was too much to see such a beautiful girl being bullied.
Jing Yuan's eyes hardened, and then he asked, "Since he's so wicked, should we kill him?"
Kolova was shocked to hear this.
Belenkov added, "No need for that, just beat them up."
"Dad!" Kolova punched her father angrily, then said to Jing Yuan, "Don't listen to him. That Po Kong is my boyfriend, and my dad doesn't like him!"
"Oh!" Jing Yuan smiled and said, "Senior Belenkov, it's not appropriate for you to ask me to handle this kind of thing!"
“Exactly,” Kolova chimed in from the side, clearly dissatisfied.
"Let the young people handle their own affairs! You shouldn't interfere!"
“Exactly!” Kolova nodded repeatedly from the side.
Just then, a flippant voice rang out from outside the door.
"Honey! Is Dad home?"
Jingyuan and Belenkov turned around and saw a young man wearing a hat and goggles walk in.
Jing Yuan took a look and realized that Po Kong was this kid!
Upon seeing Belenkov, Pokong quickly smiled and exclaimed, "Dad! You're home!"
Belenkov immediately roared, "Sukabr, you dare to come here? I'll break your legs!"
As soon as Jingyuan saw this guy, he remembered the complete guide to gymnastics postures that he had mentioned.
