Chapter 21: Awakening
For the natives of the Dragon Mountain Domain of the Nino Continent, the presence of the player did have a certain impact on them to some extent. In particular, the favor and gift of the rules made the aborigines very envious.
But it's just envy.
The number of players is too small. The population of 10 billion accounts for only one thousandth or even less of the Longshan region. For the endless beings of the entire Neno Continent, it is even more of a trembling in the sea.
However, for Xu Yong, it is indeed not the right time for the player to come.
Just as Scar told Ning Yuan, there is also a brilliant existence among the aborigines of the Nino Continent. Whether it is an awakened dream or an unawakened dream. Moreover, under the uncountable huge population base of the Nino Continent, this number is unimaginable for the stars of the end of the era.
Therefore, as long as the aborigines on the Nino continent have the corresponding knowledge reserves, it can be said that their understanding of Huangsheng is still above the player.
This is also the reason why Scar concludes that Ning Yuan is a player and concludes that he is Huangsheng Mengjue and has the information of a certain chance. It can be said that in the early days of the player's arrival, any wild player is a windfall for the aboriginal cultivators, and as long as they encounter it, it is basically equivalent to mastering the ticket to a chance.
However, Xu Yong really didn't expect that Scar's good luck would happen to be the goal of his mission, and he didn't expect that the weak player who should have been caught would be able to get to Scar's cunning guy.
Although he felt that the time of the player's arrival was wrong, after thinking about it as a whole, Xu Yong was still very glad that Scar had this encounter with the player. Not only did he consume the resurrection times of Scar and the others, who had a grudge against him, so that he only had his last life left, but also brought himself a clue to the secret realm that he had been looking for for for nearly eight years and still had no clue. If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't sure if that player had been reincarnated, Xu Yongdu felt that that player was simply a lucky star given to him by the rules.
However, if the wild player has not been reincarnated, but has entered the secret realm, and in case he obtains everything in the secret realm, then the lucky star will also become a scourge. Because of this, Xu Yongcai hated the embarrassment of time, the launch of the beast tide made him completely lose the opportunity to confirm the secret realm immediately, and the two months added a lot of variables. So he had to get his hands on any information about the wild player and be prepared for any surprises that might arise.
The irritable Xu Yong had already walked to the depths of the inner courtyard of the station, and Xue Qing's cruel laughter and the woman's crying and screaming came from his ears.
Xu Yong frowned, and looked at the bright lights in the courtyard and the shadows dancing on the windows.
He stared motionlessly at the shadows on the window for a long time, until the voice of the woman in the room became weaker and weaker until it was inaudible, and Xu Yong withdrew his gaze.
Lowering his head, a strange look flashed in Xu Yong's green fake eyes, and he gave up his original plan to report and turned around and walked towards his room.
At the end of the day, around the middle of the hour, the defensive barrier of Koka City opened, and at the same time, the army guarding the city walls and gates began to encounter the small group of monsters at the vanguard of the beast tide, and the "Scarlet February" officially began.
In the vibration of the entire Dragon Head Mountain Range and the howl of the endless demon beasts, Ning Yuan on the platform opened his eyes a little dazed.
Ning Yuan, who stood up with the three-edged cold iron spear in his hand, his eyes were sometimes confused, and sometimes suddenly, with the slight vibration of the ground and the faint roar of demon beasts in his ears, he began to practice the three-edged spear technique in his mind.
The action from the initial jerky to skilled, from the confusion of the moves to the sudden, under the "sunset" the understanding of the three-edged gun trick is deepening, over and over again in the practice and correction, the three-edged gun trick in Ning Yuan's mind seems to have begun to change at a certain moment, and in the dark Ning Yuan followed a certain thought that appeared in his mind, and then the original neutral and peaceful three-edged gun posture seemed to suddenly have a thick spirituality, and the whole gun momentum became stagnant and heavy.
Ning Yuan, who let go of the inexplicable intuition in his mind, didn't seem to feel the solemnity of the gun, and still practiced the three-edged gun trick in his mind in a more and more slow attitude, until an inexplicable breath entered his body with his breath, and left a "seed" when passing through the sea of qi.
The system prompt sound that sounded in his head woke Ning Yuan up. Ning Yuan, who suddenly came to his senses, was a little dazed when he looked at the system record.
"Congratulations to the player for successfully condensing his qi and becoming a soldier-level cultivator."
"Condensation success?!" Ning Yuan looked at these four words dumbfounded, and muttered in his mouth: "What the hell?!" How can it be? β
Ning Yuan returned his consciousness from his mind to his body, and felt it carefully, it seemed to be a little different, but he didn't have a clear idea of how to make a difference.
Ning Yuan didn't have any surprises about quickly cultivating the first wisp of internal qi with the help of "Xizhao", but to say that he succeeded in condensing qi directly, Ning Yuan really didn't believe it. Even with systematic help, the first cultivation left behind the "Qi Seed", which in Ning Yuan's opinion, no one could do except those cultivation demons. Not to mention him, even those elites who claim to be geniuses and geniuses can't do it, unless they use external forces.
A confused look flashed on Ning Yuan's bookish face, the existence of the system is the core rule in the Nino Continent, and its judgment should not be wrong.
"So, try?" Ning Yuan's mind flashed, and his consciousness gathered again, but this time it was not focused on his mind but on his body.
"Look inward!" As soon as his thoughts turned, a black and white world suddenly appeared in Ning Yuan's consciousness, and slowly colors began to appear in the black and white world. Then Ning Yuan "saw" his heart, viscera, meridians, blood vessels, musculoskeletal, and the stars of the Star Palace that radiated hazy brilliance.
Although there are only three stars, Tai Guan, Tai Yin and Shao Yin, both in the stars and on the Neno continent, it is believed that each star palace in the human body corresponds to an invisible star outside the sky.
Consciousness shifted downward, and Ning Yuan finally "saw" what he wanted to see.
A cotton wool-like ball of light floats in the Qi Sea Star Palace, this is the "Qi Seed" - the "Seed of Yuan Qi".
"It's really done?!" Ning Yuan opened his eyes in surprise, and his consciousness immediately detached from the state of "inner vision".
The so-called "condensation" is the condensation of a "seed of vitality" in the "sea of qi" star palace. The initial cultivation of a soldier-level cultivator is to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into the "Qi Species", and then compress it to the limit to make it "explode", and open up the "Qi Sea" Star Palace to become a real "Qi Sea"βthe Sea of Yuan Qi.
This process typically takes three to six years among the indigenous people. Among them, it takes one to two years to condense the "Qi Seed", and it takes three to four years to fill and compress the "Qi Seed" and make it "explode".
Although the player has the help of the system, Ning Yuan originally estimated that the condensation stage would take about seven to ten days, which is not only the process of familiarizing the player with the flow of vitality in the body, but also the process of the player's understanding of what cultivation is.
"How did you get to me all at once?!" Ning Yuan raised his left hand in confusion and scratched his scalp, and then remembered that it seemed that he had just followed the idea that appeared inexplicably in the state of "sunset" and then such a strange thing happened.
"It shouldn't be the reason for 'sunset'." Ning Yuan vetoed the idea that "sunset" was the reason for the first time.
The official name of "Sunset" should be called "Shadow of the Past", which is the name of the ability that automatically comes to Ning Yuan's mind when he awakens into a dream when he is six years old. "Sunset" is the abbreviation of Ning Yuan's own ability.
The effect of the "Shadow of the Past" is to put it bluntly, the effect of memory reproduction, although it can engrave some "memories" as "instinctual" effects, and at the same time, it can also deepen the understanding and comprehension of "knowledge" memories, but it definitely does not have the ability to change "memories". The side effects are only the blurring or erasure of specific memories, but they are only for the memories themselves, not for the knowledge and imprint instincts that are realized by "memories".
The thought in the dark just now undoubtedly changed the memory of "Three-Edged Gun Technique" in the original "Sunset". This is not the effect of "looking in the past".
"It seems more like some kind of self-evolution after enlightenment... Ning Yuan muttered.
The moment this thought appeared in his mind, Ning Yuan seemed to think of something, and immediately called out the character panel in his mind.
"Name: Ning Yuan
Gender: Male
Race: Zhuxia Terran
Occupation: Practitioner
Household registration status: None
Cultivation Level: Soldier (Beginning)
Talent Seeds: 4 (Powerful, Swift, Alien Eye, Yayan)
Powerful (Channeling)
Swift (Booting)
Yayan (Awakening)
Awakened Talents:
Gun Spine: Heavy
Number of respawns: 1 (cannot be promoted, cannot be replenished)
Number of rebirths: zero
Item: Omitted
"Sure enough!" Looking at the information on the character panel, a sudden look appeared on Ning Yuan's face, and he became excited in an instant.
The "Heavy" of the first stage of "Gun Spine" has been awakened, and the effect is that the power of the gun is deepened, similar to the effect of the "Strong" talent. However, this force does not refer to the force used by the body, but to the power of the gun itself, which is used as a weapon.
To put it simply, to understand that weapon talents such as "gun spine" are equivalent to the affinity of weapons, proficiency and other things. You have the highest affinity with a certain weapon, and the higher your proficiency, the more you will be able to exert the power of the weapon itself and master the skills of using the weapon.
In the introduction of the "Talent Atlas", the "Spear Spine" talent is divided into four deepening stages: "heavy", "light", "potential" and "Tao". The effect of "heavy" is to deepen the power of the weapon itself, "light" is the method of "light and heavy transformation" of the weapon, "potential" is to strengthen the use of the weapon to the vitality, such as strengthening the power of the spear and other external vitality attacks, and "dao" is vaguely described as mastering the "road of the gun".
Although the "Spear Spine" belonged to the general class of weapon talents, it did have a reason to be excited to be able to awaken Ning Yuan in the first stage as soon as he stepped into the military level cultivator.
Isn't there a saying that "there is no garbage talent, only garbage talent owners".
However, although the awakening of the "spear spine" made Ning Yuan feel excited, what excited him the most was the words "Yao Yan (awakening)". His guess was finally confirmed, and it was not surprising that when the "Three-Edged Gun Technique" completely became Ning Yuan's own "Three-Edged Gun Technique", it would be the time when the "Yanyan" talent really awakened.
Don't underestimate the difference between "leading" and "awakening." "Guidance" is "leading but not ending", and "awakening" is "developing but not ending".
In other words, the talent that is "guiding" is completely ineffective, but the talent that is "awakening" can already exert a partial effect, but this effect is uncontrollable.
The "awakening" talent of "Yanyan" convinced Ning Yuan of his guess. "Yanyan" is indeed a spiritual talent such as calculus and derivation, and the combination of "sunset" can make him greatly improved in many aspects. It can be said that in addition to that unknown sixth talent, "Yanyan" will undoubtedly become Ning Yuan's most important reliance.
