Chapter 34: Half-heartedness
Feeling that Hu Ningning's whole person was about to lose her autonomy, Chen Gong decided to cut through the mess quickly, grabbed her jade hands that were a little overwhelmed, and quickly cut the shredded radish.
Unfortunately, shredding is not like slicing, you can do it by dividing it by two, and it takes more effort and more concentration to cut the carrot into even filaments.
However, now Chen Gong is almost half-hugging Hu Ningning, Hu Ningning leans forward again, cocking his buttocks back slightly, and constantly rubbing Chen Gong's lower body when he is shredding, which makes Chen Gong have to work hard to cock his buttocks and distance himself from Hu Ningning's buttocks as much as possible.
Fortunately, this time it only needs to fry the amount of food for two people, and the carrots that need to be cut are not much, and when Chen Gong deliberately speeds up, he will be cut quickly.
"I'm going to get the fish, you go and take care of the pot, put half a spoonful of oil in it, and when I say it's okay, put the shredded radish in and stir-fry." Chen Gong quickly withdrew his hands, and then said to Hu Ningning with an expression that nothing had happened.
"Hmm. Hu Ningning was a little flustered, so he could only answer with a red face.
At this time, there will inevitably be some embarrassment between the two, but unfortunately this embarrassment was soon diluted at the moment when Hu Jingning fell down the carrot shreds.
The hot oil met the raw and cold shredded carrots, and the sudden oil explosion made Hu Ningning, who had never fried vegetables, scramble, and stir-fried in his mouth, Chen Gong had to appear by her side again to start controlling the situation, and the two returned to their intimacy like brother and sister.
The night is deep, and people are not sleeping. Hu Ningning tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep. Her heart was in a mess, and she unconsciously looked towards the wall on one side, and on the other side of the wall, Chen Gong lived.
Hu Ningning, who has watched a lot of romance dramas, naturally thought of the word lonely man and widow, which made her heartbeat a little faster, and a very novel feeling lingered in her mind for a long time.
Sitting on the folding bed in the study next door, Chen Gong didn't have as much thought as Hu Ningning. At this time, he was closing his eyes and starting his evening cultivation.
In order to take care of Hu Ningning's safety, he was definitely not able to go to the riverside park at night. Now Chen Gong has adapted to the mixed and impure aura in the city, although it is a little rare, suffocatingly rare, but it is better than nothing.
Since entering the early stage of foundation building, after the liquefaction of spiritual power in his body showed a specific form, Chen Gong had a huge breakthrough in solving the hidden danger of his emotional instability.
The spiritual power of the water attribute should be pure green, and Chen Gong found some variegated colors in his spiritual power, these variegations were very light, so faint that if it weren't for Chen Gong's constant attention to the spiritual power in his body, it would be impossible to find it at all.
Chen Gong once studied that when a certain emotion of his own was a little out of control, a certain variegated color in his spiritual power would inevitably be greatly strengthened, and when he vented this emotion, this variegated color would quickly dim. Now, as long as we can find a way to extract these variegated mutated spiritual powers, I believe that the side effects caused by the purification of spiritual power from the Natal Cup will be completely eliminated.
There are a total of nine levels of Xuanshui Jue, and if you cultivate to the extreme, you can reach the realm of the late stage of Jindan, which is no different from the existence of land immortals in the eyes of mortals, and it is also an extremely critical stage of cultivation for cultivators.
It's just that Chen Gong doesn't dare to hope for the Jindan period at all now, with the improvement of cultivation, let alone improving cultivation, it is very difficult to even absorb enough spiritual power, Chen Gong is only the cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, and if he wants to recover all his spiritual power, it will take almost three days, which still refers to the situation of completely uninterrupted operation of the Xuanshui Jue to absorb spiritual power, and if he uses his leisure time to cultivate like now, it will take at least ten days.
The other is the cold ice jade pendant inserted in his chest - this is the name that Chen Gong got from Chen Qiao's memory, although it seals the life cup, it also affects his cultivation, there are so many strange things in the heart vein, but it is not just uncomfortable.
But Chen Gong is already very satisfied with the status quo, at least his life is as Chen Qiao said, there are already too many magic and wonderful, if he can go further on the road of cultivation, it is the best, even if he can't, he has already experienced more than ordinary people.
The path of cultivating truth is mysterious, and the seemingly contradictory theory is the truth of the balance of all things.
Although pure cultivation cannot completely replace sleep, it can restore Chen Gong's energy to a large extent, so now Chen Gong really sleeps very little, and when it is almost dawn, Chen Gong takes a nap for a while.
At half past seven, Chen Gong prepared some simple breakfasts, and now when he did anything, if he could exercise his spiritual power control, he would not let it go, so the breakfast he deliberately made with Xuanshui Jue to control it tasted much better than ordinary breakfast.
Hu Jingjing really fell asleep very late yesterday, so he didn't get up until eight o'clock, but he didn't know that Chen Gong had been busy almost all night.
Now that the tutoring work has been on the right track, Chen Gong does not have too much to worry about, after lunch, Chen Gong explained a few words to Hu Ningning, and then went back to school to prepare for scientific research experiments.
There are already fewer people in the school during the summer vacation, and even fewer will stay in the lab to do research.
The facilities of the laboratory building of Rongcheng University are very complete, and the laboratories are also divided into many kinds, some laboratories that place high-end experimental equipment will have special personnel responsible for management, and generally will not allow irrelevant personnel to enter; there are also some laboratories that deal with experimental samples, this kind of laboratory is the place where experimenters are most reluctant to stay, after all, many samples are volatile chemicals, which are often harmful to the human body; there are special experimental preparation rooms, cleaning containers, preparing solutions, and so on are carried out here.
At this time, Chen Gong and Xu Xinjie were in an experimental preparation room, and there were only two of them in the relatively spacious preparation room.
Both of them are busy cleaning containers, whether it's growing plants or preserving samples from polluted waters, they need a lot of containers, and these containers are easy to make mistakes if they are not prepared in advance and configured when they are urgently needed.
As for the solution configuration after washing, Chen Gong and Xu Xinjie have a division of labor, and the two of them are very tacitly busy.
Chen Gong has always been meticulous about preparing solutions, and at this moment he was adjusting the pH of a bottle of solution and dripping a drop of phenolphthalein into it.
After the originally colorless phenolphthalein entered the solution, it immediately turned red, and slowly spread, and soon the whole bottle of the solution turned pink.
This is a very common experimental phenomenon that Chen Gong often encountered when he did experiments in the past, phenolphthalein changes color after entering the solution, and diffuses, and finally the whole solution turns pink evenly.
Diffusion motion, which generally occurs when a hot object is transferred to a cold object, and a high concentration of liquid migrates to a low concentration of liquid. This made Chen Gong naturally think of the pale green liquefied spiritual power in his body.
During this period of time, especially after entering the early stage of foundation building, there was not enough time to absorb aura, which was the most distressing problem for Chen Gong, and now inspired by this ordinary experimental phenomenon in front of him, Chen Gong had an urge to test it immediately.
In the end, Chen Gong resisted this impulse, half-heartedness is a taboo in scientific research experiments, and Chen Gong focused all his attention on the work in front of him.
On the premise of consciously using spiritual sense and spiritual power to assist himself, Chen Gong's movements are skillful and fast, and he is always able to quickly take out the kind he needs among the many blends, and then complete the blending in a very short time.
In the process of configuring her own solution, Xu Xinjie looked at Chen Gong with some worry at first, after all, she didn't know whether Chen Gong's hands-on ability was also reassuring in addition to being strong in theory, but after only a few glances, there was only surprise and admiration left in her eyes.
Many of the solutions are not just mixed together, it takes time, so the preparation of the two people did not last too late, and it was over at about half past four in the afternoon.
After the preparation for the experiment was over, Chen Gong didn't immediately return to Shangdu Garden, he needed to immediately verify his conjecture about the aura of heaven and earth, so he called Hu Ningning and asked her to settle dinner by herself.
"Oh, then you're going to have to come back early. Hu Ningning's tone was both lost and pitiful, which made Chen Gong feel a little funny, but also warm, after all, it was a very good feeling to be remembered.
"I'll be back as soon as I can. Chen Gong is sure of the authenticity.
When I arrived at the cultivation place in the riverside park, it was already evening, and there was still no one here, even if one or two passed by, they wouldn't pay attention to what Chen Gong was doing.
Carefully feel the chaotic aura between heaven and earth, there are too many impurities in it, even if you use the Kunlun Sect's Xuanshui Recipe to absorb it, the income will be very limited.
Spiritual energy is the essence of the air, and spiritual power is the concentration of this essence, and it is very difficult to absorb spiritual energy in this world where the air is dirty, and then purify it into spiritual power.
Chen Gong now wanted to try to use the principle of diffusion movement to solve the cultivation problem that he couldn't absorb enough aura.
Pour the sugar water and plain water together, and even without stirring, the sugar will automatically spread to every corner of the white water until the sugar concentration of the whole glass of water becomes the same.
If you completely remove the spiritual power of a certain part of your body to form a blank area of aura, will the aura in the air automatically "diffuse"?
This idea is ridiculous, and even other cultivators would not do such useless work at all, because even if the aura will automatically gather, what is the use, it will still disperse automatically, just like between a person's breath and breath, there will also be aura entering, but if they don't actively run the exercises, these miscellaneous aura will still be discharged.
But Chen Gong is different, he has a mysterious life cup in his body, which can absorb, purify, and transform the aura absorbed by Chen Gong, that is to say, Chen Gong only needs to continuously provide raw materials, and the life cup will automatically start processing.
Chen Gong closed his eyes and felt the situation in his chest with his heart, where the most fateful cup was located, and where the cold ice jade pendant was located, the spiritual power here was originally a little sluggish, and now Chen Gong simply gathered all the spiritual power and aura in it.
Under Chen Gong's induction, there was no trace of aura around the life cup on his chest, and the life cup trembled slightly, as if he was extremely uncomfortable with this isolated state.
Chen Gong tried his best to control it, and felt it carefully, his chest was completely turbid, which made Chen Gong feel a little depressed. It was only soon that he felt a trace of aura gradually blending in, and the life cup, which had not moved, immediately absorbed this trace of spiritual energy, and then released a faint bit of spiritual power.
After that trace of aura disappeared, Chen Gong's chest was once again in a blank state of aura, so another trace of aura poured in, which was absorbed by the fate cup, and so on and so on.
It's just that the speed of absorption is very slow, so slow that you can't feel the improvement of your spiritual power after lasting for an hour. But Chen Gong was not discouraged in the slightest, but was all surprised. This is a big breakthrough in cultivation, and I have always had to take the time to take the initiative to cultivate if I want to cultivate, but now as long as I maintain the isolation of the aura on my chest, I can completely achieve the purpose of automatic cultivation.
Automatic cultivation, it doesn't matter how slow the speed is, as long as it takes a long time, the effect will definitely get better and better, so Chen Gong only needs to refine this idea in the future.
