In the early morning, the red halo of the eastern sky reflected half of the sky.

The dilapidated courtyard is still the same, as if it were the same as usual, nothing has changed, but if you listen closely, you will see a difference.

"Click"

The sound of chewing food came from the cobweb-strewn house, making passers-by cast curious glances, but no one cared about it, and it was Chen Yi's poor childhood and waste that caused all this.

But none of this matters to Chen Yi now, because he is doing something exciting.

In the dilapidated room, there were lunch boxes and chopsticks everywhere, and there were half-person-high empty lunch boxes piled up on the broken table, while Chen Yi was sitting on a small bed, holding two boxes of lunches in his arms and constantly gnawing on them.

Chen Yi naturally ate these meals not for deliciousness, but for cultivation to transform essence with qi.

The conditions for the use of gasification essence are very low, as long as there is energy, and the source of energy can be food or human spirit.

For the current Chen Yi, it is not so easy to improve in a short period of time, so there is only one way left, and that is to eat food and extract energy from food.

Therefore, Chen Yi found Chen Yan'er early in the morning, borrowed a sum of energy stones from her, and immediately bought a large amount of food to eat.

When it comes to this, we have to talk about the common currency of the continent, the energy stone.

The so-called Noh Stone is a stone formed by the crystallization of energy, and it is a common currency among the able, because this kind of stone allows the capable person to directly absorb energy from it, which can be said to be a necessity for cultivation.

In the family, the clansmen who have not yet become capable will accept the energy stones issued by the family every month, and the amount of energy stones obtained depends on the value and talent of the individual.

Ordinary clansmen can get about two to five energy stones per month, and the energy stones that excellent disciples get are usually about seven or eight, while people with demonic talents like Chen Yan'er generally get more than ten energy stones.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi sighed, if he was a capable person now, he would be able to absorb energy directly in the energy stone, but unfortunately, before he became a capable person, ordinary people could not absorb energy from it, so he had to exchange the energy stone for food.

After eating a box of lunch again, Chen Yi patted his stomach and stood up, walked to a broken drawer, and took out a small dagger about twenty centimeters long from it.

"Let's test it, and ...... the effect of vaporizing essence"

Chen Yi grinned, holding a small dagger in his right hand, and stabbed it in the palm of his left hand, an indescribable severe pain welled up in his heart, and blood dripped down the palm of his hand like a small stream.

But his expression did not change in the slightest, and he remained calm, which was nothing to him after experiencing countless pains.

When the blood stopped flowing, Chen Yi began to urge to vaporize the essence, only to see a blue starlight slowly emerging on the palm of his left hand, and then the wound no less than three centimeters healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just thirty seconds, the scar on Chen Yi's left hand had completely disappeared, and if it weren't for the large amount of blood that had flowed before, no one would have been able to tell that he had been injured before.

However, the scars had healed, but Chen Yi's face was a little abnormally thin, as if he was hungry because he hadn't eaten.

But Chen Yi was not worried at all, because this was the price required to use the Qi Hua Jing, and extracting the energy in the body would make him emaciated, and the degree of his weight would be different depending on the degree of use of the Qi Hua Jing.

"Next, let's take a look at defense"

Chen Yi tried his best to cheer up his expression, and urged again with the gas essence, and the blue starlight appeared on his left hand, and the small dagger in his right hand stabbed down violently.

However, the sparks from the collision between the sharp weapons appeared between Chen Yi's palm and the small dagger, as if the small dagger stabbed not the palm of the hand, but a piece of refined iron that had been tempered for thousands of years.

Looking at Chen Yi's palm again, except for a small white spot, even the skin is not worn out.

"The defense is good, but the price is a bit heavy"

Chen Yi's face was a little pale, his body was crumbling, and his body was even more emaciated, and his strong defensive strength had to be exchanged for more energy, and at this moment, he seemed to be able to blow down with a gust of wind.

But it doesn't matter, Chen Yi took a big bite from a box of lunches that had been prepared, and after eating this box of lunches, his face gradually returned to ruddy, and his complexion flourished again.

This is the power of gasification essence, no matter whether the body wants to exchange for strength or recover from trauma, as long as there is energy, and food is a kind of energy, so Chen Yi can exert a strong combat power as long as he eats food.

It can be said that before becoming a capable person, the essence of qi is the most suitable secret for human beings.

"Recovery and defense are not bad, it's time to try the strength next"

After eating, Chen Yi pondered again, in order to cope with the family competition in two days, he must increase the combat power he can exert to the limit, and testing his strength is essential.

Looking at the narrow and dilapidated hut and the small courtyard outside, Chen Yi couldn't let go of his hands and feet in this environment, which made him a little distressed.

"Brother Ayi, are you there?"

At this time, a sweet voice came from outside the small courtyard, Chen Yi immediately perked up, the whole person was in good spirits, and said loudly, "I'm here!"

After the words fell, Chen Yi hurriedly opened the door of the small house and came to the small courtyard, only to see Chen Yan'er standing at the half-rotten wooden door of the small courtyard with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Yan'er, it's good if you come and come in directly, can you be polite with me?"

Chen Yi joked with a smile, not ashamed and inferior at all for his dirty environment, but Chen Yan'er's heart was full of joy when he saw this.

Since showing her demon-like talent, Chen Yan'er has found that the distance between her and Chen Yi is getting farther and farther away, even though she has been encouraging Chen Yi and consciously making the relationship between the two closer, Chen Yi, who has low self-esteem, still keeps a considerable distance from her.

But since yesterday, Chen Yi seems to have matured a lot, not only will he not deliberately keep his distance from her as before, but his attitude towards her has become enthusiastic.

Early this morning, Chen Yi borrowed some energy stones from her, which was absolutely impossible to replace the previous Chen Yi, but it seemed that Chen Yi, who had matured a lot, behaved very naturally.

In fact, according to Chen Yan'er's meaning, it doesn't matter to her whether Chen Yi doesn't pay it back, mainly because she is afraid of hurting Chen Yi's self-esteem, so she agreed to lend it to Chen Yi.

"Brother Ayi, what are you doing......

Chen Yan'er followed him into the room, but found a room full of lunch boxes, her voice stopped abruptly, and her little face was a little stunned: "Brother Ayi, you and I borrowed Noh Shi just for these lunches?"
