Chapter 335 The Essence and Secret of Qi Body Source Flow
The senior members looked at Zhang Chulan, who had undergone a strange change, and felt a sense of familiarity from his slightly crazy behavior.
"A deity? But it doesn't seem like one."
The old men surrounded Zhang Chulan and his group again, standing at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, frowning as they observed and pondered.
The method Zhang Chulan used at this moment was, in their view, almost identical to the [Divine Spirit] from decades ago; both were capable of dissolving other people's spells and reversing them back to their original "Qi" state.
However, Zhang Chulan's current behavior when using his methods is completely inconsistent with Wugensheng's state when using [Divine Spirit].
"Whatever, since they have such similar methods, whether it's the [Qi Body Source Flow] or the [Divine Spirit], they're both inextricably linked to Wugensheng!"
The veteran hunters exchanged a silent glance; decades of experience and knowledge had made this hastily formed hunting team remarkably harmonious.
"It's out, it looks like that thing."
Feng Baobao abandoned the mutated Zhang Chulan and watched him get up straight from the ground. Her intuition told her that the body in that state was no longer "Zhang Chulan," but an unknown entity.
"Um?"
In the distance, Lü Qian's hand, which was playing with the whisk, suddenly stopped. He grabbed a wisp of whisk, looked up, and exchanged a glance with the somewhat shocked old master.
"I see!"
In a flash, both of them understood what the other was thinking. After receiving confirmation from the other, they disregarded their shock and took a step, their figures floating away from their original positions. The next moment, they appeared out of thin air not far from the crowd.
Lu Qian and Zhang Zhiwei each stood on a tree, their gazes fixed on the surrounded Zhang Chulan, their pupils flashing as if they were confirming something.
After observing for a moment, Lü Qian was the first to withdraw his gaze. He flicked his whisk, and a divine thought carrying his words was transmitted to the Old Celestial Master.
"Old Celestial Master, your junior brother truly has remarkable methods, and the Quanxing Sect leader, Wugensheng, is also a man of great courage, able to come up with such a method and actually make it work."
"At first, I thought that the [Qi Body Source Flow] was a modified version of the Celestial Master's Mansion's [Five Thunder Orthodox Method], merely a herbal pill that could restore one's life and dual nature, and was even inferior to the original Five Elements Gathering Method."
"But now it seems I was almost fooled. Seeds also need time to germinate and grow, while this herb, though just a medicinal pill, can prolong life and help one escape death."
At first glance, Lü Qian's words seemed like praise, but his calm tone contained a hint of sarcasm.
"Even the Herbal Elixir and the Ginseng Fruit must grow in the Wuzhuang Temple of [Zhenyuan Daxian], right?"
The old master did not respond to Lü Qian's words, but silently narrowed his eyes, staring at Zhang Chulan's body with his small eyes, his brows furrowing more and more tightly.
On the field, Zhang Chulan stood up unsteadily, his hands and feet uncoordinated, like a child forced to wear adult clothes, walking unsteadily.
After waking from his coma, his seven orifices glowed, and he paid no attention to the senior figures around him who were eyeing him covetously. Instead, he looked at his own hands.
"Uh..."
A baby-like murmur escaped Zhang Chulan's lips, his voice simple and pure, as if in an instant this young man in his early twenties had completely transformed into a child.
The experienced elders present frowned, their expressions grave as they looked at Zhang Chulan, whose saintly aura remained unchanged, and slowly uttered a few words.
"One life, two sexes".
After saying this, the elders all made their moves, unleashing fire magic, talismans, Yin spirits, and hidden weapons at Zhang Chulan in an instant. Their moves were ruthless, as if they wanted to annihilate a demon.
Zhang Chulan, who had just been fiddling with his hands, looked up at the spells and hidden weapons being thrown at him, grinned, and a few rays of light emanated from his mouth, turning into a series of giggles.
"Giggle..."
With a wave of his hands, Zhang Chulan unleashed shimmering threads that grew from his fingertips, blossoming like celestial maidens scattering flowers.
When these silken tentacles come into contact with magic, they reverse it back into the most primal Qi. When they come into contact with hidden weapons, they grab them, dissipate the force on them, and turn them into playthings.
"Clap clap clap..."
After easily deflecting the group's probing attacks, "Zhang Chulan" clapped his hands and jumped around, like a child playing with others.
At this moment, the child was mobilizing Zhang Chulan's power and cultivation without any discomfort, as if the Qi of these hammers was his own creation.
Lu Qian stood on the treetop, his feet resting on the branches and leaves, as if he were weightless, easily standing at the highest point of the tree canopy.
"Last time in Tongtian Valley, we acted too quickly and didn't have time to fully experience the effects of the Qi Body Source Flow and the Grass Returning Pill. Now it seems that it is ultimately a technique evolved by thieves. You steal from him, and he steals from you. It is even more cunning than the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief."
This time, listening to Lü Qian's teasing, Zhang Zhiwei didn't remain silent. Instead, he sighed. Tonight, the old Taoist priest sighed more times than he had in a whole year.
"Good deeds must be done by oneself; relying on others is ultimately futile."
"Zhang Huaiyi, as expected of someone from a landlord family, hasn't forgotten his skills in lending money at high interest rates even after going up the mountain."
"I have nurtured a Qi infant within my body. The key is that it is still alive. The infant's essence remains the same, with the true nature of a child. Cultivation becomes twice as effective with half the effort, and one day's progress is equivalent to several days' progress for an ordinary person."
"The power accumulated by the Nascent Soul through passive cultivation in a human body naturally exists in that physical body and becomes the property of the original owner of the body."
"Only a thief could come up with a method like having someone else cultivate for you."
The old master recalled his seemingly honest and kind-hearted but actually cunning junior brother with big ears, and said somewhat speechlessly, "All he ever thinks about is stealing from others, and never thinks about saving up his own."
"Letting outsiders into your home, don't you even consider the possibility of raising a tiger that might turn out to be a threat!"
"What a terrible thing you've done! No wonder you, you big-eared thief, dare not return to Longhu Mountain. If your master finds out what you've done, it's already a sign that he loves you dearly if you're not beaten to death immediately."
After Zhang Zhiwei clearly understood the essence of the so-called "Qi Body Source Flow" and the "true identity" of the Nascent Soul, he wished he could send a dream to his past self and personally chop Zhang Huaiyi, that shameless and ungrateful scoundrel!
If the act of [Qi Body Source Flow], which allows the nascent soul to cultivate in one's place and for the individual to possess the Qi accumulated by the nascent soul's practice, can be forgiven...
So the real secret of this Eight Extraordinary Techniques—the true identity of the Nascent Soul—is an unforgivable and unignorable heinous crime.
"Old Celestial Master, you can't say that. Perhaps your junior brother Zhang Huaiyi is just loyal and righteous, and can't bear to see his brother suffer, so he resorted to this drastic measure."
With Lu Qian's sarcastic remarks still echoing in his ears, the old master was too lazy to respond to this foolish topic. He simply rolled his eyes, looking completely disbelieving.
"hehe."
