"Sir, my name is Ji Nanzhi."
When Li Xingkong asked him his name personally, Ji Nanzhi snapped out of his daze and answered Li Xingkong while quietly tidying his clothes, even though his clothes, which he had worn for who knows how long, couldn't be cleaner no matter how much he patted them.
"Indeed, you are the first person here to sense Spiritual Qi."
Li Xingkong stated directly that once Spiritual Qi is sensed, it establishes a connection with the spirit of the person who sensed it, making it much easier to sense it again.
"Those points of light I sensed just now were Spiritual Qi?"
When this was mentioned, Ji Nanzhi immediately perked up. He thought he was just hallucinating because he had been thinking about things for too long.
He no longer needed to meditate; he simply took a few breaths to calm his mind, and the points of light reappeared around him.
"That's right. Next, all you need to do is use your mind to sense one of the points of light, and you can establish a connection with the Spiritual Qi."
To be honest, Li Xingkong was quite surprised that someone could successfully sense Spiritual Qi today.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Ji Nanzhi closed his eyes, and after a short while, a wisp of Spiritual Qi beside him seemed to be drawn to him. After swaying a few times, it rapidly entered his body.
"Holy crap!"
Ji Nanzhi felt as if he had suddenly acquired an extra body, which appeared in a strange, blood-red universe. However, this universe seemed familiar, and strangely, he had both his original vision and the ability to operate this new body.
Where is this? Another world?
He controlled this new body, darting around in this blood-red universe, observing everything.
That's inside your body, be careful not to kill yourself.
Li Xingkong quickly reminded him that this guy was really reckless. He had just connected with the Spiritual Qi and started manipulating Spiritual Qi to run around on his body. If Li Xingkong hadn't reminded him, he would have dismantled his surroundings to take a look.
"Huh? I knew it looked familiar."
Ji Nanzhi stopped his Spiritual Qi movements. No wonder it looked so familiar. He used to observe the body's cells through a microscope, so seeing it from a different perspective made it hard to believe.
However, after a brief mutter, Ji Nanzhi clearly understood how much Spiritual Qi could help his research. It was truly a divine artifact; he wouldn't trade it for anything.
"How do you sense Spiritual Qi? You don't seem to be able to enter a meditative state."
Li Xingkong was also curious about how Ji Nanzhi could sense Spiritual Qi. He had also sensed Li Xingkong 'Ji Nanzhi actions before, and he was clearly not someone who could enter a meditative state.
"I don't know either. When I was called over for the meeting, I didn't understand either. But then I saw everyone else had sat down, so I sat down too, and then I went back to thinking about my experiment."
"As I was thinking, I suddenly felt something move beside me, and it startled me."
Ji Nanzhi scratched his head, trying to recall what he had done. He felt like he hadn't done anything at all, yet he had inexplicably sensed Spiritual Qi.
What is the content of your experiment?
Could it be a problem with the experimental content? Li Xingkong wasn't sure.
"I study biology, and the goal of this experiment, like that of Elder Yuan, is to achieve beef self-sufficiency for the Divine Land People. My main focus is on research related to beef cattle. I was just thinking about how to achieve meat self-sufficiency in a vacuum environment..."
When talking about her experiment, Ji Nanzhi seemed to open up, talking for a full five minutes without stopping, from the beginning of the experiment to every step of her calculations.
"Okay, okay, I think I understand."
Seeing Ji Nanzhi's appearance, Li Xingkong understood why he was the one who sensed the Spiritual Qi first.
This guy seems to be missing a screw in his head; he's completely absorbed in his experiments, and nothing else matters to him. Just now, when Li Xingkong called them to cooperate with the experiment, he sat down and immediately became engrossed in his work, effectively achieving a state of deep meditation.
It's not only about calming your mind and not thinking about anything that you enter a state of deep meditation. Being able to devote yourself wholeheartedly to something to the point of reaching a state of forgetting everything else and yourself is also a form of deep meditation.
Because of his mindset, this guy is always like this from the very beginning of his research, which explains why he can achieve such a high level in his field.
"Alright, I understand the details now. Once more people can sense the Spiritual Qi in a few days, I'll figure out a way to teach you the Qi Refining Method."
Li Xingkong said to Ji Nanzhi, but as soon as he finished speaking Li Xingkong smiled helplessly.
This guy had just received Spiritual Qi and was already completely absorbed in studying Spiritual Qi, so he didn't even notice what Li Xingkong was saying.
Qi Refining? What Qi Refining? It's not as important as his experiments.
"No madness, no life," and the first person to sense the Spiritual Qi has emerged, but this guy is not much different from being mad.
Let's wait a few more days and see how most people perceive Spiritual Qi.
Three days after Li Xingkong released the Earth Vein, Tang Cheng finally brought good news: he had sensed Spiritual Qi.
His mindset has been incredibly volatile these past two days, going from joy and anxiety to self-doubt, then to despair, and finally to indifference and a willingness to give it a try. The emotional rollercoaster of those two days was as complex as riding a rollercoaster. Fortunately, he finally sensed the Spiritual Qi, making all those emotional shifts worthwhile.
After acquiring Spiritual Qi, he realized how important it was for cultivation. Without Spiritual Qi, he couldn't even perform internal vision, let alone cultivate according to the techniques.
After gaining access to Spiritual Qi, he went through the Magic Power structure that Li Xingkong had modified within his body. After manipulating the Spiritual Qi to examine the entire internal structure of his body, his admiration for Li Xingkong deepened even further.
The sheer magnitude of Spiritual Qi, coupled with the immense scope of the internal transformation, is comparable to a farmer creating a spectacle. Yet, Li Xingkong was able to accomplish this effortlessly many years ago. Even now that Tang Cheng has mastered Spiritual Qi, he still finds this ability somewhat too complex.
"See? I told you your cultivation wasn't up to par. It took you three days to sense it."
"Sigh, I usually think I'm pretty composed, but I still lost my composure a bit at times like this."
After sensing the Spiritual Qi, Tang Cheng's mental state recovered. After all, he had been cultivating for so many years, and now he had finally taken one foot in the door. How could he not be happy?
How's everyone else's progress?
"Besides me and Ji Nanzhi, the others are still in the sensing stage. As for their progress, it seems like it will take a few more days."
To be honest, Tang Cheng was incredulous when he heard that the first person to sense Spiritual Qi was an ordinary researcher. It wasn't until he learned about the researcher's life that he was truly convinced.
However, Ji Nanzhi sensed that the Spiritual Qi did indeed bring him a lot of pressure. After all, he had made a lot of preparations in advance, while the others were starting from scratch. If he couldn't be faster than them, he would be mentally exhausted.
"This Spiritual Qi is truly a wonderful thing; it's like adding wings to a tiger. If every researcher were equipped with one, how many years would it take for Divine Land to achieve a technological breakthrough? If they were equipped today, the entire world would begin a technological explosion tomorrow."
Tang Cheng used every word of praise he could think of to describe the effects of Spiritual Qi, saying that it was truly a divine artifact for the Divine Land.
