Alien Science Cultivation

"No wonder he said it's best for girls to climb during the day... Now I understand... I will definitely stay away from you guys when I get out..." Ni Fang responded weakly! Perhaps it was Zhang Qiang's childhood experience. Although the ravine was a little difficult to climb, it was still acceptable. Ni Fang was probably relieving her own pressure, or perhaps venting her anger. After all, given her status in the Qingshan Sect, this kind of grievance was probably the first time in her life! Zhang Qiang looked back at her from time to time. There was no fairy-like look at all! She was covered in dust and kept cursing her senior brother, and sometimes even scolded Zhang Qiang...

Zhang Qiang knew very well that after this trip, she would probably never see her master again. If the sect was not in danger of being exterminated, which sect leader would be willing to disobey his own orders and let his disciples leave! Damaged Dantian and meridians are extremely difficult to repair in the world of immortal cultivation, but it is by no means impossible. There are always some cultivators with special means and special bodies who can repair them, and even forcibly open Dantian and rebuild meridians for ordinary people to help them embark on the path of immortal cultivation. In comparison, helping people repair Dantian and meridians is naturally a piece of cake. There is no reason why her master would not know what Zhang Qiang understood! Her eldest brother secretly went down the mountain to drink and make trouble, and was punished by their master. Then her master is very likely to know about this secret passage. At least Zhang Qiang thinks so...

After climbing from early morning until the sun was about to set, they finally reached the top of the mountain without any danger. From afar, a large, pale blue, semicircular, transparent cover loomed, enveloping the entire sect.

The two of them followed the ravine smoothly and came under the big cover. "How can we get out through this magic circle?..." Zhang Qiang was thinking about it when he heard Ni Fang mumbling weakly behind him: "Senior brother! Senior brother...where is your dog hole? You took the life-saving magic weapon given to you by the master and used it to cover the magic circle just to go out for a drink. You are really the first one in Qingshan Sect! Zhang Qiang...look around to see if there is a round hole like this. Remember not to touch...the magic circle." As he said, he took out a half-human-high cylinder from the space ring on his waist. The surface was as smooth as a mirror, and the two lids on it were the same.

Zhang Qiang couldn't help but think of the phenomenon of optical refraction: using special optical materials, such as lenses or lenticular gratings, to redirect light, redirecting it around obscured objects, thus achieving the effect of invisibility! On Earth, this is known as invisibility cloaking! It seemed that this magic circle was, in essence, an application of optical principles. Without time to dwell on it, Zhang Qiang frantically searched for a similar cylinder. "Brother, please don't close the lid! I can't see anything with my mortal eyes..." Zhang Qiang silently prayed. Ni Fang wasn't idle either. Steadying herself, she slowly threaded the cylinder through the magic circle and secured it. It took just a few breaths to complete the operation. Zhang Qiang also spotted the circular opening in a corner of the magic circle. It seemed that this cylinder had a brighter glow than Ni Fang's... "This senior brother is quite attentive. He probably sneaks out to drink a lot at night..." Zhang Qiang speculated to himself. At Ni Fang's signal, he slowly climbed into the barrel and emerged from the other side of the magic circle. Then they each took back the cylinder and placed it in Ni Fang's space ring. It was obvious that Ni Fang treasured this treasure very much...

Without stopping for a moment, he left the formation. The danger level didn't decrease. On the contrary, it increased. Nearby, assassinations targeting Qingshan Sect disciples and elders were constantly taking place. Each of these assassins was as agile as a ghost, making it difficult to defend against them.

The enemy seemed to want to use this method to eliminate the backbone of Qingshan Sect, and at the same time create psychological fear among the disciples of Qingshan Sect, in preparation for the general attack, or perhaps they wanted to use this silent method to slowly erode Qingshan Sect! Zhang Qiang secretly analyzed the current situation! His eyes were like torches, constantly scanning the Qingshan Sect below the mountain, as well as the sect's magic circle in the air that covered half of Qingshan Mountain! The scene before him was completely different from the description he had read in the novel. In his impression, the immortal sect should be built on the top of a towering mountain, and the cultivators should all be flying like clouds and cranes, with a graceful and elegant posture. The scene before him really made him doubt whether this was actually an immortal sect...

Ni Fang seemed to keenly perceive the many confusions rising within Zhang Qiang! "Tell me... What are your doubts? I'm here to help you..." Ni Fang said, deliberately lowering her voice. Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang didn't hesitate, unleashing all the thoughts that had just been churning through his mind! "I thought you were a gifted genius, but it turns out you're just like Senior Brother...! Spiritual energy is indeed abundant at high altitudes, but correspondingly, the other impurities in the space are also more numerous. Being able to accurately separate and absorb spiritual energy from this complex impurity is no easy task. Generally, only cultivators with advanced cultivation can do this, and they choose higher peaks! While the amount of spiritual energy absorbed by ordinary disciples at the foot of the mountain is sparse, the corresponding impurities are also much less, making separation much simpler... I really don't know how you absorb all that spiritual energy... Don't you need to separate the impurities?" Ni Fang raised an eyebrow slightly, teasing with a hint of sarcasm. "So that's how it is... No wonder when I'm cultivating, spatial impurities always block the flow of spiritual energy! Only by using my spiritual consciousness to remove them can I absorb them more smoothly and quickly..." Zhang Qiang pondered inwardly, feeling that this explanation seemed to make some sense! However, Zhang Qiang had no idea how astonishing it was in the world of cultivation to be able to use spiritual consciousness to remove spatial impurities, allowing useful spiritual energy to be drawn into the dantian through the skin!

"Yes! You're absolutely right, young lady. Scientific methods combined with diligent practice are the only bright and smooth path forward in this world of immortal cultivation..." Zhang Qiang responded solemnly. "What do you mean by science..." Ni Fang asked, her face filled with confusion. "Even if I explain this to you, you still won't understand... I'll explain it to you slowly and carefully when I have time! I must explain it in detail..." Zhang Qiang, mimicking her tone, responded with a hint of sarcasm. "Alright... we've only just passed the first level. The next levels are the true test of life and death! Be extremely alert..." Ni Fang said helplessly. Zhang Qiang, upon hearing this, immediately perked up his nerves as well! Leveraging the faint moonlight, he slowly groped his way down the mountain. Although Zhang Qiang grew up deep in the mountains, walking in the pitch-black night still felt unsettling. The roars of animals and the chirping of insects rose and fell incessantly around him, and the rustling of sand in the nearby grass made him tremble at the slightest movement. The two of them immediately stayed in the bushes, not daring to move! Ni Fang even pressed almost her whole body against Zhang Qiang's back! Her chest even touched Zhang Qiang's back from time to time! "You are not taking me to escape, you are clearly using me as a shield. A shield is fine! You touch me from time to time, accompanied by that trembling body... I guess I will be exhausted physically and mentally, and my energy will be exhausted before I get down the mountain..." Zhang Qiang felt aggrieved in his heart! He didn't dare to turn his head. As for whether his face was flushed, Zhang Qiang himself didn't know, but he could really feel the scorching heat! "When will the Guling Pill be able to dissolve itself... or is there an antidote...?" Zhang Qiang asked softly! "No, no... no antidote! Senior brother said there's no need for an antidote, so I stopped researching the antidote formula!... To put it bluntly, it's hard to say whether this low-level pill can completely conceal the breath, and it also blocks one's own cultivation. A ferocious wild boar could easily take one's life! Wouldn't it be better to spend a few more spirit stones to buy the breath-blocking pill? It can block the spiritual consciousness and preserve the cultivation! I guess only senior brother in the sect dares to go up and down the mountain like this! Even if senior brother has no cultivation, his skin is as thick as a copper wall!... And it will take a full 24 hours to dissolve itself..."
