Chapter 18: Qi Sea Absorbing Spirit
Cultivation is cultivation, and doing things is doing things. If there’s no time, Nezha thought to himself that the next time he meets Li Gen, he’ll bring the Qiankun Bow and Sky-shattering Arrow for some confidence.
Ever since he touched that Qiankun Bow without permission, the number of patrolling soldiers on the city wall had doubled. Li Jing had even ordered strict vigilance against Nezha to prevent any major mishaps.
Since then, Nezha finally understood why the Nezha in the book he read was so rebellious. Children, like cats, are immensely curious. The more you stop them, the more they want to see.
Mr. Fan said, "A sense of inspiration means you have the potential for cultivation. But if you really want to walk this path, you need to open up a Qi Sea behind your waist to gather the primordial Qi of heaven and earth for your use. Cultivators use spells, drive arrays, wield magic treasures, and even perform the basic Five Elements Escape Technique, all of which require the use of heaven and earth primordial Qi. This process, with one’s body as a vessel, of opening a Qi Sea to contain this primordial Qi is the second small stage of cultivation, the God Absorption Realm."
"Please teach me, sir."
"Is that all you’re going to say?" Mr. Fan laughed, shaking his head as he saw Nezha bowing in admiration, "Even if you could open a Qi Sea within a day as you did before, how much heaven and earth primordial Qi can you contain in such a short time? And without advanced Daoist skills, any primordial Qi stored within is useless, just an illusion, unless—"
"Unless what?" Mr. Fan’s words "unless" seemed to show Nezha another path before him.
He only hoped that three days later, the only person from the East Sea would still be the Yaksha Li Gen, just like the villains in those TV novels he had watched, arriving one by one, instead of hundreds or thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals from the Four Sea Dragon Kings coming all at once.
