Shali slept for a long time, until he woke up before the end of the day.

"Didn't I practice in the practice room, how did I sleep in my own bed?" Sha Li stared at the light blue gauze tent and whispered, slowly getting up.

Just as he took a step, his body was light, and he almost fell forward.

"It's ...... What's going on? Your body is so light? Could it be that your cultivation has exhausted your physical strength?

That's right, Vitality!"

He subconsciously wanted to inspect the situation in his body, but he didn't find any difference from before.

"I can't feel where the vitality is. Could it be that I woke up the wrong way?" said Sha Li, pinching his chin.

"Squeak, squeak......"

"Strange thing, I never hear birds in this room. ”

"Let's go find Kaifeng first, I still have a lot of doubts to ask her. ”

Sha Li searched the entire courtyard but did not find any trace of Kaifeng, so he went to the pharmacy to find Xue Qi to inquire.

During this time, Sha Li already knew that Xue Qi was the number one doctor on Qiyuan Island, and he was known as a miracle doctor. The reason why he was able to recover so quickly was due to Xue Qi's medical care.

Listening to Kaifeng, Xue Qi was not only the first divine doctor, but also the first beauty on the island when she was young, until Kaifeng's mother grew up. When Xue Qi was young, the people who came to ask for relatives stepped through the threshold of the courtyard, and the gift-giving team could circle around Qiyuan Island.

Sha Li was very surprised when she heard it at first glance, according to Xue Qi's current appearance, it was hard to imagine her demeanor as the first beauty thirty years ago.

Xue Qi's medical skills are exquisite, and he does not treat diseases. For the Yuan, she is immortal and unhealed, not that she can revive the dead, but as long as there is still a breath, she can basically save you. The rest of the Yuan people are injured, and she usually doesn't make a move, so let them go to find other doctors on the island. But for the mortal islanders, Xue Qi is willing to treat, no matter how big or small the illness is, as long as she comes to the door, she will take action to heal.

As for the reason, Kaifeng told him. Xue Qi believes that the vitality of the Yuan is strong, and the lifespan is relatively long, as long as it is not near death or terminal illness, it will always heal itself. Mortals, however, are short, vulnerable, and often relatively helpless.

Sha Li didn't find Xue Qi in the room filled with the strong medicinal fragrance.

"Mother-in-law?"

"Crunch ......"

A secret door slowly opened next to the medicine cabinet.

"Come in. Xue Qi's voice came from inside the secret door.

Sha Li walked through the door, and a scorching wave of air rushed towards him. He searched for the source of heat, but saw a three-legged round stove standing in the middle of the room. The round furnace is about the size of a person, and there are three places where the furnace body is transparent, and it is made of some kind of spar, which can be used by the user to inspect the changes in the furnace. The lid is fastened to the stove, and the top of the lid is engraved with a small beast to lift the lid.

I saw that the little beast was snow-white, with three tails and horns on the top of its head, first straight and then bent. Sha Li seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

"This is a medicine beast. Xue Qi's voice came.

"Medicine beasts?"

Sha Li remembered an ancient book he had read when he woke up, "The Chronicles of the Mountains and the Sea", which was recorded: The mountain of Yinglai is full of plants and trees, and there are many strange fragrances. It's weird. There is a beast, its shape is like a snow leopard, three tails and one horn, and its sound is like hitting a stone. People have diseases and say it, beasts are like deep valleys, a grass returns, pound the juice and take it to heal, its name is medicine.

"Mother-in-law, what are you ......?"

"Alchemy. ”

Xue Qi sat on a futon not far from the round furnace, his eyelids drooping, as if he was sleepy.

"Alchemy?

Shali wanted to talk about the strange stove.

"This is a medicine furnace, made of deep-sea cold iron, which melts the unique red chromium, cobalt, and blue nickel of my Qiyuan Island, and cannot be melted by fire. The medicine stone is smelted inside, and it can also be used to prevent strong heat. ”

"No wonder I didn't find it unapproachable. ”

Sha Li looked at the churning flames in the furnace through the spar mirror, and was relieved for a moment.

"Mother-in-law, is there anything combustible in the stove? ”

"No, there's only raw medicine stone in the furnace. The fire you see is my fire. ”

"Yuan Huo?"

Sha Li only realized at this time that Xue Qi, who was sitting cross-legged, was holding a magic seal in his fingers.

"I heard Kaifeng say that she has taught you the method of cultivating the Yuan and building the foundation, and you have successfully gathered Qi to become a Yuan. You can see it when you gather your vitality in your eyes. ”

"But,"

Sha Li hesitated for a while.

"I don't seem to be aware of the existence of the vitality. ”

Xue Qi slowly opened his eyes.

"Can't you perceive it? You haven't entered the realm of Kaiyuan yet, and your vitality can't exist in the Nine Palaces, it can only be scattered around your body.

You have learned to look inward, and if you have a high degree of concentration of your consciousness somewhere in your body, you will be able to find out where your vital energy is. ”

According to Xue Qi's words, Sha Li gathered his divine sense in the palm of his hand. He soon spotted translucent spheres densely packed all over his palms.

"What is this?"

He continued to probe his senses, and finally saw the true face of the orb. The translucent membrane encloses tiny nuclei and is filled with a viscous liquid. Some of the liquid has a shimmer of color, red, cyan, gold, brown. Among them, red and cyan are darker, followed by gold, and brown is the lightest. However, with the current strength of Shali's divine consciousness, he naturally couldn't discern it carefully.

"Mother-in-law, is this?"

"What you see in the spheroids, named, cells. The cells on the body of a living thing are called living cells, and there are cells on the body of a dead thing, which are called dead cells. ”

Xue Qi's tone was not slow or hurried.

"The light you see in the cell is the vitality. The cells that attach the vitality are also called the cells of the yuan. Those who cultivate the Yuan, before entering the realm of Kaiyuan, will not enter the Nine Palaces, and will be scattered in the rest of the body. In other words, only by cultivating the Yuan cells outside the Nine Palaces can the Yuan Qi be stored in the Nine Palaces. What is the state of your cell now?"

"Only a small part. ”

Sha Li didn't fully know the situation of his own Yuan, and the great movement caused by the first time he gathered Qi to become a Yuan had generated more Yuan Qi than many times his number. However, the amount of ether in its body itself is very comparable to that of humans, and the purity of the final generated element is far beyond that of ordinary people, and the amount is naturally less.

"Oh?"

Xue Qi was a little surprised, after all, as Kai Feng said, the amount of vitality that Sha Li had cultivated for the first time should be very considerable.

"It's okay, just practice more in the future. Now try to focus your energy in your eyes. ”

Sha Li did as he was told.

"Mother-in-law, what is your hand?"

He saw two red threads in the room lying across the air, one end connected to the medicine stove, and the other end connected, Xue Qi's index fingers of both hands.

"Kai Feng may have mentioned to you that the Yuan Person's own vitality carries the attributes of the Five Elements. ”

"Yes, Kaifeng mentioned to me that she is the Five Elements Partial Water, and Mother-in-law, you are the Five Elements Partial Wood. ”

Sha Li quickly remembered.

"Actually, my vitality is a dual attribute, in addition to the wood element, there is also the fire element. The fire you see is my fire. ”

"Possessing wood and fire energy is a prerequisite for becoming an alchemist. ”

Xue Qi said in an indifferent tone another identity that Sha Li had never heard of.
