Of course, at this stage it's just wishful thinking. In this space, there's nothing you need, not even a place to settle down, and there's nowhere to even get Body Tempering Grass. Obviously, it's not suitable for staying here for long.
All we can say is that once his speed increases, he can come up into space to cultivate whenever he wants. As for living conditions, it would be more suitable to stay on a planet.
After all, he had Dadu up on Earth Star and was used to living on land. So, he was not used to the environment of space, where there was nothing to rely on.
Having tested the Qi Refining Method, Li Xingkong began to test his spells one by one.
The power of these spells hasn't changed much, but when Magic Power regenerates extremely quickly, the spells become even more powerful.
After all, there is a significant difference between single-shot and burst-fire.
Without the influence of friction, the most impactful spell in space is the Shotgun Spell. Normally, due to the influence of gravity and friction, this spell can only hit targets within a radius of a hundred meters. However, in the space environment, the range of a single Shotgun Spell becomes uncontrollable.
If it doesn't fall within the planet's gravitational pull, the bullets fired by this Shotgun Spell could even fly directly to the vicinity of the sun.
Many rules that apply on Earth no longer apply here, and the same is true for spells; the fundamental properties of many spells have changed.
But the only things that remain unchanged are the Magic Power structure and Mana Circuit; even in this vast space, they do not affect their normal function.
These Qi Refining Method are products spanning multiple worlds, and their environmental adaptability is far superior to that of current technological products.
I tried out each of the spells I had on hand. They all had slightly different effects, but they were all basically usable.
The tests related to magic are basically all finished here. Li Xingkong plans to spend the remaining time exploring space and seeing the scenery, which is completely different from Earth Star.
Just as Li Xingkong was about to carry his hand around in space, he felt some changes happening to his body.
This change was absolutely beyond his control; clearly, something was at work somewhere he hadn't noticed.
Forget about admiring the scenery, Li Xingkong immediately sat cross-legged and began to manipulate his Spiritual Qi to examine the parts of his body that had undergone changes.
Under Li Xingkong's control, the Spiritual Qi quickly entered his body, and the change occurred on a patch of skin exposed in space.
When the Spiritual Qi reached the area of skin that had changed, Li Xingkong used the Spiritual Qi's vision to see what was happening inside that area of skin.
The cells, which were originally very stable, have now become a mess. Although they are cells that have been Body Tempering and modified by Li Xingkong, many parts of them have changed under the influence of this unknown energy.
The originally stable cell structure has been disrupted, and some DNA has even scattered, it's unknown what it will mutate into.
Li Xingkong certainly couldn't sit idly by and watch his body change. He quickly activated his Spiritual Qi and cast a Restoration Technique on his mutated skin.
Under the influence of the Restoration Technique, the mutated skin quickly returned to its original state, which relieved Li Xingkong.
But before he could exhale, he discovered that his skin, restored by the Restoration Technique, had begun to mutate again.
Although there were only signs of mutation reappearing, Li Xingkong could not ignore the situation.
"System, what's going on?"
This was the first time Li Xingkong had encountered such a situation; it was as if his body's tissues were out of his control.
"You're currently exposed to a recent wave of cosmic Fallout, so it's normal for your body to undergo changes. Fortunately, this Fallout wasn't severe; it only affected a part of your body."
The system responded quickly.
Cosmic Fallout?
Li Xingkong cast another Restoration Technique on himself. He originally thought that with his current physical strength, he could walk in space, but this small amount of cosmic Fallout almost knocked him down.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe towards outer space, realizing that his current cultivation level was still far from sufficient.
"Isn't there any way to block Fallout?"
Li Xingkong's solution was to isolate it, thus ensuring his safety in space.
"It's possible, but it's a bit of a shame."
The system's tone was somewhat regretful, as if Li Xingkong had missed something.
"What's a pity?"
Li Xingkong was puzzled. If the Fallout had such a significant impact on his own body, it would be even more dangerous and potentially fatal to ordinary people. He didn't think there was anything to regret.
"You call this Fallout, but it actually has its own name in the cultivation world."
Seeing that Li Xingkong didn't understand, the system gave him a simple explanation, since this wasn't something a Qi Refining like him should be familiar with.
"As we've discussed before, during the Organ Training, the lungs gradually develop the function of absorbing negative energy, and this cosmic Fallout can be considered a type of Baleful Qi, and it's extremely precious."
"There is a lot of Baleful Qi on Earth Star, but it is generally very unstable. Although the current Earth Star civilization can create nuclear bombs and many radioactive elements, these can only be considered ordinary Baleful Qi. Once you reach the Golden Core stage and begin to refine malevolent energy, the amount on Earth Star alone will not be enough."
"To refine a Nine Revolutions Golden Core, gathering evil energy in this outer space is a mandatory course."
"Although there is a lot of Baleful Qi, there are even more cultivators. It is extremely difficult for each person to absorb a single Baleful Qi. Many civilizations have previously built detection arrays in outer space specifically to remind people to collect malevolent energy."
"So, this is also a cultivation resource? It's just too advanced for me to use?"
Li Xingkong was dumbfounded. He couldn't see or touch the cosmic Fallout yet, and could only see the effects on the parts of his body that were affected. He didn't expect that this could be considered a cultivation resource, and a rather scarce one at that.
"That's what I mean. Everyone else treats this thing like a treasure, but I didn't expect you to be hiding from it. You're the first one."
"Even if it's a baby, it has to be usable, right? This cosmic Fallout is harmful to me right now."
Li Xingkong did not fall into the system's trap. He understood that even if this thing was a treasure, it was useless to him since he couldn't use it now.
"This Fallout can cause mutations in the human body, and these mutations are quite uncontrollable. 99% of these mutations are malignant, but there are also benign mutations."
Instead of directly providing Li Xingkong with a method to isolate himself from Fallout, the system talked to him about the effects of Fallout.
"Now that you have the Restoration Technique, if the mutation is malignant, you can restore it in time; if it's benign, you can record its structure now."
"The path of cultivation involves both the physical body and the soul. For a long time, I was stuck at a certain hurdle in the cultivation of the physical body, making no progress. It was only through the endless cleansing and transformation of Baleful Qi that I successfully broke through this barrier and entered the next stage of cultivation."
After hearing what the system said, the Fallout isn't a bad thing after all; it's actually become a good thing.
