Chapter 42: Enlightenment
The gloomy morning light gradually dispelled the night, and as hours passed, the Crimson Realm ushered in its early morning.
As soon as the morning dawned, there was a commotion in the ruined houses scattered everywhere, and the survivors with tired and numb faces walked out one after another, and a huge red territory seemed to suddenly come to life, full of popularity.
When there was a noise downstairs, in the room with the pungent smell of blood, Chen Chong, who was sitting on the bed board in a strange posture, also slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of essence.
In his consciousness, the [Manifestation Reserve] has become 1166 units!
"Less than 2 units an hour, except for the spare 1,000 units, it takes nearly 200 hours of meditation and cultivation to save enough to translate the manifestation power of the remaining two exercises, and the time is still too tight......
The rich and unpleasant smell of blood seemed to have no effect on him, Chen Chong silently estimated in his heart, let out a long breath, stood up, and moved the bone joints of his body.
Although the growth of his current strength is slow, being able to grow by his own cultivation is already an unexpected joy for Chen Chong, and he can't ask for too much.
After the two minions carried the corpse out last night, he didn't sleep all night and practiced [Ultimate Immeasurable Qigong] all night. Now, not only did he not feel any tiredness, but he was full of energy, as if he had inexhaustible strength, his whole temperament had changed slightly, and the true qi as thick as a few strands of hair in his body had also become much more condensed and thicker.
"Sure enough, after condensing the first wisp of true qi, isn't the cultivation speed as fast as before?"
Chen Chong squeezed his fist lightly, the bone joints made a fine crisp sound, he walked to the window, looked down at the dirty and chaotic street, and a stream of people came out, thinking:
"And...... I feel, I'm a little hungry right now?"
After cultivating all night yesterday, he hadn't advanced by leaps and bounds like he had condensed the first wisp of Ultimate True Qi before, and his cultivation speed had obviously begun to slow down. Not only that, but at this moment, there was a faint feeling of hunger in his abdomen, and every cell seemed to remind him that his body was in urgent need of nutrients.
Immortal beans have the magical effect of not being hungry for ten days, but at this time, it has only been less than two days since Chen Chong took the immortal beans. After Chen Chong wondered, he immediately thought of the reason:
That is, the cultivation concept in the early stage of [Ultimate Immeasurable Qigong] is to refine and refine qi, and at the same time of cultivation, it must be combined with sufficient body nutrition intake, and if you only practice to the death without paying attention to the replenishment of qi and blood, the progress of cultivation will only become slower and slower, and you will get twice the result with half the effort. The fundamental reason why Immortal Beans maintained their bodies from being hungry for ten days was that Immortal Beans contained a certain essence qi themselves, but they had been exhausted in his cultivation of condensing the ultimate true qi and sleeping all night, so he only felt faintly hungry at this moment.
And it is foreseeable that if he does not have a large amount of nutrient intake and qi and blood nourishment, his cultivation progress will probably slow down more and more.
"Three points of training, seven points of eating, it seems that cultivation and fitness have something in common. ”
Looking out the window, Chen Chong's brows furrowed:
"But here, can it meet my cultivation needs?"
Chen Chong's current body was already a little nutrient deficient because of his life as a prisoner, coupled with the cultivation of [Ultimate Immeasurable Qigong], it was obvious that he needed a lot of nutritional intake to meet the needs of cultivation. What Chen Chong was worried about was that there was such a lack of Dao materials in this world, how could he ensure that he needed to cultivate?
In fact, the [Ultimate Immeasurable Qigong] contains several ancient prescriptions that are specially used to nourish oneself and cooperate with cultivation. However, the world in which Chen Chong lives has been reduced to a wasteland, and only food and water are scarce resources, and these prescriptions are undoubtedly just a pile of waste paper.
"Let's take one step at a time!"
Chen Chong took a deep breath, unable to think of a better way for the time being, and then pushed the door and walked out of his room.
He decided to wander around the Crimson Territory to get his share of supplies and learn about the so-called "job".
As soon as he pushed the door open, there were a few haggard-looking laborers in the corridor who had just walked to the staircase, and they were stunned when they saw Chen Chong pushing the door out, and then trembled suddenly:
"It's this guy who came out!"
"Well, the one who didn't have a head yesterday...... It's a skinny ghost!?"
"The skinny ghosts are all killed!"
"Let's go!"
These laborers suddenly rushed downstairs as if they had seen a ghost, for fear of being caught up by Chen Chong.
"Skinny Ghost...... Is that the name of that neurotic yesterday?"
Standing in place, Chen Chong touched his chin and smiled dumbly:
"Looks like Iron Mountain has helped me out. ”
The man known as the Skinny Ghost had been killed by him, and now he was the only one living in the room he was in and this half of the corridor, which was undoubtedly much more convenient for his cultivation plan. And it is conceivable that under this deterrence, these laborers are even more afraid to come to their own side, saving a lot of trouble.
While thinking so, Chen Chong walked down the stairs and saw two minions standing there at the door of the building last night, as if waiting for something.
"Are you waiting for me? I wonder where the Captain of the Yin Tiger is?"
Seeing Chen Chong go downstairs, the expressions of the two tightened, and one of them involuntarily replied immediately: "The captain went to various factories to inspect and supervise the work, what is the matter with you?"
Chen Chong shrugged his shoulders: "You should know that the general promised to give me captain-level rations, who should I find for this?"
The two minions were stunned, a trace of envy flashed in their eyes, and one of them replied, "This is going to the warehouse to get it, we can take you there." ”
Chen Chong raised his eyebrows: "Oh? That's better." ”
Although he knew that most of the two minions were sent to spy on him, Chen Chong didn't care, and followed behind the two of them, walking in the direction of the warehouse he had been to yesterday.
There were bits of black ash in the air, and at this time, the survivors in the streets and alleys were hurrying in different directions, as if they were rushing to work, and along the way, you could occasionally see ragged and scrawny survivors lying on both sides of the dark and dirty road, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Chen Chong silently withdrew his gaze and asked the two people leading the way in front of him, "What are the names of the two of you?
"Weide. ”
"Lukai. ”
The two minions, one tall and one short, reported their names respectively, and Wei De, who was tall, did not reply:
"What are you kidding, do you know how many factories there are in the whole territory? metallurgy, forging, planting, chemical industry, munitions, power stations, and even hunting parties, these need a large number of people to maintain, or ......"
Power station?
Wei De was still talking, and Chen Chong was stunned when he heard the word power station, as if he had been inspired by something, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind!
