Seeing Lufeng deep in thought, Zhou Tianshi nodded silently and continued, "You are still a blank slate. It seems that discussing the Cultivation Path with you is indeed a bit premature. In that case, I will first teach you some of the most fundamental concepts."
"Please speak, Master!" Lufeng said respectfully.
"Lufeng, listen carefully. Everything in the world is composed of the five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Vital Energy is the essence of these five elements; it is the innate energy that forms Qi once it enters your body. The strength you refer to in Skill Mode is acquired Qi, which is acquired energy. They can only increase their Qi through equipment, Rare Beasts, materials, Medicine, food, and other auxiliary tools. However, you have an advantage: once you comprehend the Vital Energy Control Technique, your Qi limit will increase exponentially, and the skill attack power you release will be twice that of the skills released in Skill Mode," Zhou Tianshi continued.
"Understood! I will remember!" Lufeng nodded.
"Vital Energy is the source of all power for cultivators. The most basic and fundamental elements of the Vital Energy Control Technique are Gathering Energy, Gathering Qi, and Bursting Qi. If you can't even master these, don't even think about releasing skills; as for instant skill release, that's even more out of reach. Remember, all cultivation relies on Vital Energy," Zhou Tianshi continued.
After listening to Zhou Tianshi's explanation, Wang Xiaojing couldn't hold back any longer: "Master, I understand! Please teach me the Vital Energy Control Technique!"
Zhou Tianshi glared: "Do you need this old man to teach you? You are a genius; figure it out on your own!"
At this moment, Wang Xiaojing displayed a pitiful expression: "Wuwu~ Master, I was wrong. Please have mercy and don't hold it against me!"
"You are not wrong; it is this old man who is at fault!" Zhou Tianshi said calmly.
Seeing this, Gao Chao and the others couldn't help but chuckle while Zhou Tianshi didn't even glance at them.
Since the Master ignored her, Wang Xiaojing had no choice but to direct her anger towards Qin Shou, Gao Chao, and Qiu Han: "Whoever laughs again will have their wages deducted."
Wang Xiaojing's tactic proved effective as Qin Shou and the others immediately closed their mouths.
Zhou Tianshi was too lazy to pay attention to Wang Xiaojing and looked at Lufeng to continue: "If you want to skillfully control Vital Energy, the first thing you need to do is determine your own Vital Energy attribute. The eight sects correspond to Ice, Fire, Mysteriousness, and Poison attributes. You belong to the Fire and Poison attributes; thus, you should absorb Fire and Poison Attribute Vital Energy."
"What about me?" Wang Xiaojing asked eagerly.
For some unknown reason, Zhou Tianshi felt a bit annoyed by this student Wang Xiaojing: "Little Beggar, you love eating 'poisonous' food the most; think about it yourself."
"What? Eating alone?" Wang Xiaojing was surprised for a moment, and after a while, he finally understood and excitedly said, "Oh, I get it now! I am Poison Attribute and should absorb the Vital Energy of Poison Attribute."
"It seems you're not that dumb after all!" Zhou Tianshi smiled faintly.
"I've never been dumb!" Wang Xiaojing retorted.
Zhou Tianshi: "..."
Lufeng pondered for a long time and continued to ask, "So how do I absorb the Vital Energy of Fire and Poison Attribute?"
Zhou Tianshi looked at Wang Xiaojing, shook his head, then looked at Lufeng and continued, "I have told you before that everything in the world is composed of the five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Vital Energy is the essence of these five elements, it is the innate energy. What you need to do is absorb this essence and transform it into energy within your body. This is the process of Gathering Energy."
"So how do I do that?" Lufeng scratched his head, still not understanding, and continued to inquire.
"Find a quiet place, calm your mind, enhance your sensory functions, then strive to feel the changes within yourself. When the outline of your body gradually becomes clear in your consciousness, attributes corresponding to your sect will appear within that outline. At this point, Vital Energy of the same color will emerge around your body in your consciousness and continuously converge towards you. Gathering Energy refers to this process. After Gathering Energy, concentrate the energy in your Dantian; this is called Gathering Qi. Then release the energy explosively; this is called Bursting Qi. When Vital Energy becomes visible to the naked eye, you can shape it through Gathering Qi and release it using skills!" Zhou Tianshi answered slowly.
After a slight pause, Zhou Tianshi continued, "Lufeng, Young Hero, you are developing dual attributes; Gathering Energy will be several times more difficult than single attributes. Of course, the power will increase somewhat as well. Moreover, your dual attribute growth is equivalent to having an additional attack option. When others are weak against Poison Attribute, you can use Poison Attack against them; if they are weak against Fire Attribute, you can use Fire Attack against them. If they are equally resistant to both poison and fire, you can attack them with both attributes simultaneously. However, I do not advocate doing that."
"Why?" Wang Xiaojing asked curiously.
"The time required to complete the Vital Energy Control Technique for dual attribute attacks is several times longer than for single attributes. If it's during a PK match, such a time-consuming skill would be suicidal. Lufeng, think about it carefully!" Zhou Tianshi said slowly.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"
Looking at the bustling crowd and recalling the throngs of people at Wuliang Mountain, Lufeng said with difficulty, "But it's noisy everywhere! Where can I find a quiet place?"
Zhou Tianshi paused slightly: "Night West Lake in West Lake was originally the most suitable place for cultivation; however, it has now become a rendezvous spot for couples. I doubt you could calm down there either. There are many places in the wild suitable for cultivation; I can't remember them all clearly. You’ll have to find one yourself!"
"Alright, I've taught you the principles. Do you have any other questions?" Zhou Tianshi continued.
Lufeng thought for a long time and said, "No, thank you for your guidance, Master!"
"Then you should head to Dunhuang to find Cao Yanshou, upgrade properly, and don't delay. Go quickly!"
...
After bidding farewell to Zhou Tianshi, the group headed west towards Luoyang City.
"Boss, you're really not being fair. With such an incredible mode, you didn't even tell us," Gao Chao kept complaining along the way, while Qin Shou constantly agreed.
Qiu Han couldn't take it anymore: "Hey, have you lost your mind? Before entering the game, the boss mentioned this mode. At that time, did any of you say anything? Now that you regret it, that's fine, but please don't slander our boss."
"Hey, Fourth, you sure know how to flatter!" Qin Shou joked.
Qiu Han replied dismissively, "I'm just stating the facts."
Lufeng smiled without saying a word...
Soon, the six of them passed through Luoyang City and arrived at Dunhuang. They were greeted by an endless expanse of desert, with strong sandstorms rolling in from time to time, creating a suffocating feeling.
"How long is this going to take?" Looking at the vast desert, Miss Wang's temper flared up again.
Lufeng felt somewhat annoyed: "Shut up. According to the coordinates, it's just a kilometer away."
Wang Xiaojing: "..."
Everyone endured their discomfort and headed towards the coordinates of Dunhuang and Cao Yanshou. After a long walk, they finally saw the Yumen Pass Inn, built from yellow earth, stones, and wood.
Gradually, Lufeng spotted the trees beside Yumen Pass Inn and a few people at the entrance of the inn. After much effort, the group of six crossed several sand dunes and finally arrived at the entrance of Yumen Pass Inn, where Cao Yanshou and the Song Soldiers were standing.
"Everyone, follow me to receive the mission!"
Lufeng was the first to approach Cao Yanshou.
Seeing someone coming, Cao Yanshou exclaimed, "Lufeng, Young Hero, I have been waiting for you! This Yumen Pass has always been a contested area for soldiers. My brother, the Dunhuang Governor, has had a tough time here..."
After completing the mission, Lufeng leveled up to level 12 (3677/7776).
"Ding!"
System prompt: Dear Player, congratulations on reaching level 12.
Lufeng was overjoyed; he didn't expect the experience from missions here to be so high. He gained six thousand experience points in one go and patiently listened to Cao Yanshou's rambling.
However, after waiting for a long time, Lufeng realized that this was a 'trap'—Cao Yanshou only complained and had nothing else to say. Lufeng grew tired of dealing with this NPC and followed the mission prompts to walk over to Yang Wenguang, the garrison commander of Dunhuang.
