Knowing that the herb was probably Nine-Leaf Violet Orchid, Jiang Ping An's heart skipped a beat.
An urge to start picking immediately came to his mind, and he wished he could fly out Great Lake Village right now.
However, he suppressed the restlessness and calmed down.
After so many years, it is unknown whether the Nine-Leaf Violet Orchid plant is still growing safely in its original place.
Perhaps it has been devoured by the guardian Fierce Beast, or it may have withered due to environmental changes.
In any case, it's not less than one night.
Jiang Ping An sat back on the edge of the bed, picked up the bowl of rough-tasting fruit wine, and looked through the simple window at the busy and cheerful village open space outside.
The villagers were happily carrying and cutting up the corpse of Fierce Beast. The children were chasing and playing around the meat mountain. The rough laughter of the men and the joyful conversations of the women were intertwined, full of life.
Watching this scene, Jiang Ping An felt very complicated.
This group of people is obviously just a product of consciousness simulated by that mysterious animal skin, a phantom composed of countless Soul Fragment swallowed by Zhum Civilization.
But their emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy are so real and vivid in every word and deed.
They will be genuinely happy because they get food, and they will also be genuinely sad when their loved ones are hurt.
Some people have a cheerful and heroic personality, some people are honest and simple in nature, some people are shrewd and cautious... Each has his or her own character and story.
This makes it difficult to view them simply as inanimate "dummy people."
"I really don't know how Zhum Civilization did it..."
Jiang Ping An sighed in his heart, "The memories, emotions, and even part of the consciousness of countless living beings have been reassembled in an incomprehensible way to create such a nearly perfect, self-operating real world."
Perhaps, some people and certain things in this world are randomly generated or evolved based on Rules.
But there must be quite a few whose prototypes actually existed in the distant history, and are the real imprints of an annihilated civilization.
Jiang Ping An put down the pottery bowl filled with inferior fruit wine and looked at Shi Da He sitting next to him.
Shi Da He was not immersed in the joy of harvest like others, but looked out the window with envy at a pair of young men and women who were working together to carry a Fierce Beast.
Seeing the man and woman talking and laughing, Shi Da He's clear eyes were full of yearning.
Jiang Ping An suddenly asked, "Da He, judging from your age, you are not too young for the village. Why haven't you started a family yet?"
When he was suddenly asked this question, the two-meter-tall, muscular man was stunned for a moment, and then his dark face quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, all the way to his ears.
He hurriedly retracted his gaze, looked away helplessly, and his voice stuttered:
"I... I'm a bit stupid, not very smart, and often do wrong things. I'm... well-known in several nearby villages."
"Girls in and outside the village... no one can look down on me like this."
When he talked about this topic, a trace of unconcealable disappointment flashed in his eyes.
But it was quickly covered up by his honest smile, as if it was just a trivial matter, with no entanglement or resentment at all.
In this survival-oriented Primordial Era background
With difficult living conditions, people's criteria for choosing a spouse are often very realistic and direct.
Inherent qualities such as "good character" and "kind-hearted" pale in comparison to the reality that they cannot fill their stomachs.
No family is willing to let their girl live with a man who looks stupid and easily suffers losses, which means an increase in survival risks.
Jiang Ping An was silent for a moment, raised his right index finger, pointed it at the center of Shi Da He's eyebrows, and flicked it seemingly casually.
A beam of specific information flow instantly penetrated Shi Da He's eyebrows Sea of Consciousness.
"This is a very simple breathing technique."
Jiang Ping An's voice sounded calmly, "Try to learn it. If you can master it skillfully, you will gradually become different from ordinary people and your body will be stronger."
This so-called simple breathing method is actually the most basic Qi Guiding Method.
By adjusting the specific breathing frequency and rhythm to match the most basic Rules operation between heaven and earth, it can absorb the power of God free in the surrounding space and introduce it into the body.
Although this low-level breathing method progresses slowly.
But after a long time, even if you don't rely on eating a lot of flesh and blood, you can gradually meet the body's basic energy needs, strengthen your body, and prolong your life.
Jiang Ping An chose to teach this because the other party has obviously never been exposed to any systematic cultivation method.
And..."not smart".
Even if you want to guide the other party to learn the more advanced Divine Ability technique, given the other party's condition and understanding ability, it may be difficult to get started.
This simplest breathing method is precisely the easiest to use and the least likely to go wrong.
According to his experience, even ordinary people who have never been exposed to cultivation can initially master it in five or six days with concentration.
If you are a naturally smart person, it is not difficult to get started in two or three days.
Shi Da He felt a chill in his brows, and then a strange information suddenly poured into his mind.
He was so shocked that his mouth opened wide and his eyes widened, completely unable to understand what had just happened.
This... what kind of magical ability is this? Can knowledge be transferred to other people's minds through the air?
Dad is indeed right! This white-haired brother is really a man of great ability!
The next moment, Shi Da He's eyes burst out with a strong desire for knowledge.
He instinctively put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind, including the little loss just now, and closed his eyes directly.
Immerse yourself wholeheartedly in the memory of this breathing method, and begin to try to understand and imitate this unique breathing rhythm.
Just because you have the memory of something in your mind doesn't mean you've learned it.
Just like everyone knows how to set up a trap to catch Fierce Beast, but not everyone can successfully catch it. You must practice it yourself and use it skillfully.
Shi Da He, who was completely immersed in the breathing method, forgot everything around him, and also forgot his father's repeated instructions to take good care of Jiang Ping An.
Jiang Ping An looked at his focused and selfless look, and did not bother him in any way, nor did he mind at all.
He turned his gaze out the window again and looked outside silently.
After the ten suns gradually sank into the horizon, under the magnificent sunset that remained in the sky, smoke curled up from every house in the village.
A long-lost, strange sense of peace quietly flowed through his heart.
This peaceful life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, sharing food around the campfire, although simple but full of fireworks, was not a scene he longed for deep in his heart.
But this seemingly simple peace is an elusive goal for him.
I don't know how long I have to wait and how many hardships and obstacles I have to go through before I can find hope of resurrecting my loved ones.
The road to becoming the new Lord God has long been blocked by the joint efforts of the four supreme beings.
And trying to resurrect the former Lord of Order is even more difficult and the road ahead is confusing...
Jiang Ping An looked at the dusk outside the window, his thoughts flying, and he fell into a long trance.
I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly felt an extremely harmonious energy wave coming from around him.
He turned his head suddenly and looked at Shi Da He, whose eyes were still closed.
I saw Shi Da He's chest rising and falling in a rhythmic rhythm.
Every breath and every breath coincides with some kind of supreme principle of heaven and earth.
As he breathed, the divine power in the surrounding space that ordinary people could not perceive turned into strands of almost undetectable light, flowing into his nasal cavity along with his every breath!
Jiang Ping An couldn't help but have a look of surprise in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.
This Shi Da He... actually managed to master this basic breathing method in such a short period of time?!
Although this breathing method is indeed not very advanced Divine Art.
But for an "amateur" who has never been exposed to any Body Refining system, his thinking mode is still in the primitive stage.
It usually takes several days to understand and initially master its rhythm.
However, it only took a short time for Shi Da He, who was regarded as "silly" by the villagers, to get started with Qi Entrainment from the time he obtained the method!
This kind of entry speed is no less than those practitioners who have ordinary cultivation Talent!
He originally thought that it would take at least ten and a half days, or even longer, for someone like Shi Da He... who seemed not to be very smart to master this breathing method.
But the reality far exceeded his expectation!
Seeing Shi Da He completely immersed in his own world, without any distractions, a word suddenly popped into Jiang Ping An's mind.
Innocent Heart!
Innocent Heart, usually used to describe a person who can always maintain his innocent, pure and sincere nature, and whose mind is not blinded by the pollution of the worldly world and the complex desires of the outside world.
Sometimes, such people are easily misunderstood as "fools" because they are too naive and ignorant of worldly affairs.
And the biggest characteristic of this kind of mind in learning and practice is extreme concentration!
They can easily get rid of all distracting thoughts and devote all their attention to what they are doing.
This pure state can improve a person's learning efficiency and understanding to an astonishing degree.
This Shi Da He obviously has such a "Innocent Heart"!
Innocent Heart is usually more common in children, but it is not always the case.
Many people will gradually lose this purity as they grow older and experience more, becoming tainted by the world.
But Shi Da He can still maintain it at this age, which is really rare.
At this moment, the wooden door was gently pushed open through a gap, and Shi Da Hu's weather-beaten head poked in.
He was helping to move Fierce Beast outside, but he was still worried about his son entertaining the distinguished guests.
I always felt that something would go wrong with my son's temperament, so I rushed back in a hurry.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his son Shi Da He with his eyes closed, sitting motionless on the stool like a Woodhead stake, as if he was asleep.
Shi Da Hu was immediately out of breath, his blood pressure soared, and he almost fainted on the spot.
He knew it!
This stupid son is acting stupid again!
He actually left the distinguished guest aside and took a nap here!
"You little brat..."
He was so angry that he was ready to pick up his son and scold him to wake him up.
However, as soon as he took a step, an invisible but majestic and heavy aura suddenly came down like a mountain and enveloped him, making him freeze.
The scolding that reached his lips was swallowed hard and he instinctively closed his mouth.
Then, the calm voice of Jiang Ping An sounded in his mind.
"I'm teaching your son something, don't disturb him. Your son is very smart and Talent, and he learns very quickly."
Knowing that his son was not sleeping, but was learning from this mysterious white-haired man, Shi Da Hu's burly body shook suddenly, and his eyes burst into incredible ecstasy.
Could it be... could it be that my son is learning the legendary "skill"?!
Hearing Jiang Ping An personally praise his son for being very smart and very Talent, the corners of Shi Da Hu's wrinkled eyes instantly became moist.
An indescribable surge of sourness and joy rushed straight into his eyes.
It was a feeling of great relief and joy that my son had finally been recognized!
Over the years, people in and outside the village have said, covertly and openly, that his son is a fool and has no brains.
Even when the son is so old, no family is willing to marry the girl over.
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to a father, and is full of endless worries for his son Future's life.
But now, my son is praised so much by a "master" who has powerful power!
This feeling of opening the shackles made Shi Da Hu, a man with a resolute character, almost burst into tears on the spot.
He quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and cast a grateful look at Jiang Ping An.
Then he stood on tiptoes, like a thief, carefully exiting the room step by step, and finally gently closed the wooden door.
I was afraid that if I made a little noise, I would disturb my son's "study".
At dinner time, the villagers lit a huge bonfire in the open space outside and set up barbecues. The whole village was filled with the tempting aroma of meat.
And Shi Da He finally opened his eyes.
He suddenly jumped up from the stool, with such huge force that the thatch on the roof almost flew away, and his face was filled with uncontrollable excitement and excitement.
"It worked! Brother! I learned it! It's really amazing! I seem to be able to absorb a kind of warm power from the air around me! Now I feel energetic all over my body, and I don't even feel hungry in my stomach!"
"That's Divine Power floating between heaven and earth."
Jiang Ping An looked at his excited look, smiled slightly, raised his finger again, and volleyed a little higher.
Another beam containing more information sank into Shi Da He's eyebrows.
What I have passed on this time is some basic knowledge about Divine Power, as well as several tips for using basic Divine Power.
For example, how to condense Divine Power in the palm of your hand, or how to attach it to a weapon to increase its power.
Shi Da He's eyes widened even more after receiving this new knowledge, as if he had discovered a new delicacy.
I immediately immersed myself in it again and began to try to practice it according to the information in my mind.
His excellent concentration, coupled with his extremely powerful physique nourished by Fierce Beast's flesh and blood, allowed him to control his power surprisingly well.
When the meal started, Shi Da He came to the campfire, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he used Divine Power to condense a Light Blade.
He picked up the light blade and went to cut a piece of animal meat on the grill next to him, and easily cut through a piece of tough meat.
This scene caused a huge sensation in the entire Great Lake Village.
In their view, this simple method is tantamount to a "magic skill".
This shocked all the villagers, who looked at Shi Da He with shock and deep envy.
Many people have mixed feelings in their minds.
They never expected that Shi Da He, who was usually regarded as a weak-minded person, would have such a great opportunity to learn such a magical skill in such a short period of time.
Many young women who originally didn't care much about Shi Da He, now saw his honest but focused profile, and their eyes couldn't help but shine with a strange light.
It is foreseeable that from today on, the threshold of the Shi Da He family may soon be crossed by matchmakers.
However, Shi Da He, who was at the center of his gaze, was completely unaware of everything around him.
He was not proud because he had mastered new abilities, nor was he vain because of the envy of others, nor did he deliberately show off.
I just smiled innocently and was still completely immersed in the exploration and practice of various basic applications of Divine Power.
His brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, and he kept trying, occasionally stuffing a piece of meat into his mouth.
This extreme concentration derived from "Innocent Heart" allows him to block all external interference and devote all his attention to the absorption and digestion of new knowledge, and his learning efficiency is astonishingly high.
