The Withered and Flourishing True Qi, coiled within the meridians of Lin Beichen, like a Wandering Dragon of Spiritual Qi roaming the heavens and earth.
Lin Beichen felt a vague premonition in his heart.
If he were to strike with all his power, destroying mountains and rivers might be too exaggerated, but razing the Medicine Immortal Pavilion wouldn’t be difficult.
"The Withered and Flourishing True Qi is the most common power of grass, trees, and earth in this world. As long as I stand on the ground, endless Spiritual Qi will emerge. However, there is not much difference between this and the Five Elements Spiritual Qi. Could it be that the Withered and Flourishing Body merely increases the density of Spiritual Qi?"
Lin Beichen felt puzzled.
The Withered and Flourishing Body is an advanced version of the Five Elements Spiritual Qi because it incorporates two streams of Five Elements Spiritual Qi. With these two streams operating, it changes the physical body and naturally generates Divine Techniques.
For example, with the Cyan Wood Divine Pupil, one can sense Spiritual Qi and execute powerful moves with just the eyes, without needing to use hands.
Normal Five Elements Qi is simply used as one gets it.
In this world, only Lin Beichen has the ability to use Spiritual Qi without much consideration, but his goal is to usher in an era of cultivation.
When everyone possesses Five Elements Spiritual Qi, if he only has more Spiritual Qi than others, it wouldn’t be much of an advantage.
"The cultivation of the Withered and Flourishing Body is so difficult; it can’t be just for appearance, can it?"
Lin Beichen murmured, propelling the Withered and Flourishing Qi to activate the Divine Techniques within his body.
The river of Spiritual Qi within his meridians responded instantly, surging out of his Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
A loud booming sound.
The Withered and Flourishing Qi condensed into cyan light, creating a tremor as it appeared in the void at his fingertips.
Simultaneously, within a ten-meter radius around Lin Beichen, various grasses in the ground fissures broke out of the earth instantly.
Previously, due to the flow generated by Wood Spiritual Qi, it now became a nutrient and growth agent for the weeds.
In just a blink of an eye, various Spiritual Herbs filled the surrounding walls.
Though the Divine Hall of Concealment is named a hall, it is built based on a mountain and not constructed outside the mountain body. Instead, a mountain was hollowed out, and several hundred special craftsmen masters spent over ten years to complete it.
This hall is not only extremely magnificent but also has the most solid foundation ever, unaffected even by earthquakes above magnitude seven.
Yet at this moment, the power of grass and trees damaged the sturdy hall’s exterior and filled it with flora.
If Master Li Jiang were to see this, he would surely exclaim at the miracle.
However, Lin Beichen’s face remained exceedingly gloomy.
"This Spiritual Qi, although slightly stronger than standard Wood Spiritual Qi, is just the combined power of earth and wood. I can manifest it with Five Elements Qi; why risk life cultivating the Withered and Flourishing Body?"
Lin Beichen thought, ignited with frustration.
There is already the power of soil and stone within the mountain.
Lin Beichen can propel the Five Elements Earth Qi first, instill it with Spiritual Qi, then transform it into soil suitable for the growth of grass and trees. Then, find the flora within the mountain cracks and activate Wood Spiritual Qi.
This method, though slightly more complicated, would take only a few extra seconds.
Having risked life and nearly soulshattering experiences, he found only this petty Divine Technique?
Lin Beichen sensed once more.
Moments later, he vaguely detected some differences.
The flora in the wall cracks wasn’t ordinary but somewhat like Spiritual Qi grass and trees.
Using these Spiritual Herbs and Trees, high-quality elixirs can be directly refined.
Though still displeased, Lin Beichen finally felt somewhat comforted.
The Withered and Flourishing Qi, though unsuitable for combat, showed its value in alchemy.
"I spent a month’s effort, and is this all that differs?"
Lin Beichen muttered.
Had he the time, he would surely spend another month to sense more carefully.
The Withered and Flourishing Body he created; his deductions directly determine future understandings.
Cultivating the Withered and Flourishing Body is like constructing a tall building; it may take ordinary people years or decades to build brick by brick, leading to familiarity with the interior and exterior upon completion.
But Lin Beichen didn’t follow this.
He built this tall tower reaching the sky in just a month.
For cultivation, a month is but a blink of an eye.
Though Lin Beichen possesses control over the building, he is still exploring its inner structure.
Two days later.
Imperial Capital Longmianjiang Hospital.
As one of the private high-level hospitals in the Imperial Capital, it has been fully cordoned off for a month, no longer accepting external patients.
The uninformed thought Longmianjiang Hospital faced a financial crisis, but the informed knew this cutting-edge private hospital was actually catering to a special patient.
Outside the ICU ward in the critical care area on the 4th floor, stood a couple.
The man wore a suit, impeccably tailored, tall and exceedingly handsome.
His eyes occasionally flashed with a cold gleam, his aura imposing.
Since his arrival in the critical care area, the hallway had repeatedly seen young nurses.
They sometimes pretended to fetch items, sometimes to clean, and occasionally passed by the man. When his gaze fell upon them, they would let out a scream and flee blushingly.
This happened at least a dozen times throughout the morning.
"He just looked at me. His eyes are so attractive, even handsomer than those oppas."
