Shi Tiexin had learned something.
Then curiosity rose again. "Brother Dongli, you've mentioned 'spirituality' many times. What exactly is spirituality?"
"Hey, that's a good question, but I don't know how to answer it."
"Spirituality is arguably the most important measure for a mind-qi practitioner. You can think of it as the purity of mind-qi, or potential, or quality, or the practitioner's own talent and upper limit. I can't give you a precise definition, but more is definitely better."
"The greater your spirituality, the faster your mind-art cultivation. The greater your spirituality, the easier it is to break through to the next stage, and the higher your ceiling."
Shi Tiexin pressed on. "Can spirituality be increased?"
"It can. There are two ways. One is to produce pioneering research and achieve scientific results; spirituality will naturally arise. The other..." You Dongli smiled strangely and rubbed his fingers together. "It takes money. Lots and lots of money. A poor bastard like me can't really afford it. Don't dwell on spirituality for now. It won't be too late to consider it once you reach my stage."
Got it~~!
Even a Third Heavenly Layer powerhouse outstanding in both mind-qi and astral qi called himself a poor bastard. Truly poor Shi Tiexin immediately cast all thoughts of spirituality to the back of his mind.
You Dongli told him there was no need to rush the Earth Drum Tremor matter. Old Jia and You Dongli still needed time to reorganize the mathematical models before they could determine Shi Tiexin's direction for mind-art cultivation. For now, he could stockpile knowledge and adjust his condition.
Shi Tiexin settled down in the institute.
Cultivation at an entirely new realm—get it started immediately!
He divided up the matters at hand and assigned tasks to his various incarnations.
