Chapter 89 - 80: Day School (5K)_2
He brought over a thick, blank notebook, placing it on the table and preparing the inkstone, ink, and brush.
Then he retreated several steps, picked up the first material—a piece of purple Dushan Jade, held both ends of the jade with his hands, and raised it in front of him while silently reciting the text of the "Shangqing Linggan Chapter."
Just as in previous tests, whenever Li Ang channeled Spiritual Energy into his body, his brain would experience a slight tingling pain.
This must be what Xi Yangyu had described as the Skull-interrupted Sword trigram.
"Not holding any material, pain level, 1."
"Holding purple Dushan Jade Marrow, pain level, 1.3."
Li Ang put down the Dushan Jade, wrote two lines in the notebook, and then picked up the second material—a small piece of Chenyin Wood from Youzhou. Just like before, he silently recited the "Shangqing Linggan Chapter," felt the pain in his brain as he channeled the Spiritual Energy, and recorded it in the notebook.
"Chenyin Wood from Youzhou, pain level, 1.2."
Li Ang methodically tested different materials, taking breaks in between.
Chai Cuiqiao watched with wide eyes from the side and gradually came to understand. "Young Master," she asked, "are you recording the pain levels while holding these items?"
"Mhm."
Li Ang nodded indifferently and casually explained, "In the Cultivation World, there is a saying about the ’Innate Nature of Objects.’ Different materials have different affinities with nature’s spiritual energy. For example, Fine Gold and thousand-year-old peach wood have a higher affinity for nature’s spiritual energy compared to ordinary rocks. Cultivators channel a certain amount of Spiritual Energy into Fine Gold and thousand-year-old peach wood, allowing them to easily float and move through the air following their thoughts, whereas the same amount of Spiritual Power can only make rocks slowly lift off, unable to perform agile movements. This material property should be similar to thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity."
Chai Cuiqiao curiously asked, "Electrical conductivity?"
