Alien Science Cultivation

Time passed quietly. By the evening of the next day, Zhang Qiang's third dantian had dried up, and he was now drawing energy from the first and second dantian. However, the energy in these two dantians was very scarce and could only last for one day at most. But for Zhang Qiang, more energy meant more hope. After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Qiang seemed to hear Dulong's call in his daze. Zhang Qiang tried to stay awake and listen carefully. Although the voice was extremely weak, it was definitely Dulong's voice. "Are you awake? Brother..." Zhang Qiang asked. About a quarter of an hour later, Dulong's weak voice came, "Qiang...Brother..., ring...finger..." Then, accompanied by a "ding-dong" sound, Dulong lost consciousness again. No matter how Zhang Qiang called, he no longer responded. Looking at the fallen ring, Zhang Qiang attempted to probe it with his spiritual sense. "It's open... Damn, what a treasure... So many spirit stones and beast cores. This transparent one must be the ghost's inner core! Okay, it looks like there's still hope for us..." Zhang Qiang didn't hesitate. Holding a spirit stone in one hand and a ghost's inner core in the other, he absorbed it frantically, finally finding a chance to breathe. Zhang Qiang also began to carefully examine his own internal condition. The spiritual energy in his first and second dantians was only half remaining, and the third dantian was almost dry! The golden core, with its two fish eyes missing, looked particularly desolate and eerie. The speed at which it absorbed spiritual energy seemed to have slowed down significantly, and his spiritual sense had dropped from approximately 8000 feet to 996 feet! "It seems that the situation is not too bad... Dulong is doing well now. As long as the energy is continuous, his consciousness will be fully restored in a while... Although there are some losses, fortunately, fate favors Dulong and he can wake up at the critical moment. You can imagine how much effort he put in to wake up for that quarter of an hour. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed. The spirit stones and beast pills in the ring have been used up by almost half. If they were not born in a big family and were not geniuses, the two of them would probably be in trouble again! Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. Now Dulong's body and brain have taken shape, but he has not woken up. "It is estimated that he will have to wait until he emerges from the chrysalis. Only then can it truly wake up... ", Zhang Qiang was no longer too worried, because he found that Dulong had begun to absorb the two-color spiritual energy on its own. Although he did not know the specific reason, he vaguely felt that the pair of yin and yang fish eyes were at work, enabling it to absorb spiritual energy on its own, and the energy Zhang Qiang currently needed to input was getting less and less. After half a year, even if Zhang Qiang no longer input energy, Dulong would be able to sustain itself by relying on the energy it absorbed. "It seems that I have to take him to the entrance of the cave... The concentration of spiritual energy there is high, and I guess this guy can wake up faster..." After making this decision, at midnight, Zhang Qiang determined the distance and route to the entrance of hell, and put Dulong Pupa through He put on a special porcelain coat, put on one himself, carried the silkworm pupa on his back and quickly ran towards the cave entrance. An hour later, he could already see the location of his cave. When the cave was within the range of his spiritual consciousness, after checking to confirm that there was nothing abnormal, Zhang Qiang put down the silkworm pupa and buried it in the ground. He slowly dissipated into the air. After a while, Zhang Qiang's figure condensed and took shape in the cave, and the silkworm pupa underground also moved towards the cave little by little along the ground. With the blessing of the porcelain coat, he finally brought the silkworm pupa into the cave without any danger. As expected, Dulong's speed of absorbing spiritual energy was dozens of times faster! Zhang Qiang was completely relieved. After settling Dulong, He slowly entered a state of cultivation. Compared to before the Golden Core, it was a completely different experience. As Zhang Qiang absorbed it with all his might, he felt the surrounding spiritual energy begin to gather in liquid form around him, as if the spiritual energy from miles around was being drawn in. Over this long period of time, Zhang Qiang had developed a deep understanding of the spiritual energy at the entrance to this hell. It was violent and unbridled, never once calming down. Therefore, Zhang Qiang need not worry about absorbing spiritual energy causing a vortex that would draw the attention of experts. Another year passed in a flash, and Dulong still hadn't awakened. Zhang Qiang wasn't anxious, after all, cultivating was his job! Perhaps it was the environment on Earth that had shaped his habits. A 40 work schedule was the limit for workers, but here it was par for the course, year-round, without even an hour's rest. During that year, Zhang Qiang noticed that the black goldfish in his third dantian was spinning faster and faster, following the Golden Core's own rotation. At about revolutions per second, the area where the black goldfish's eyes were located began to form the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams, demonstrating another qualitative improvement in his cultivation.

"Could it be... Wuji gave birth to Taiji, Taiji gave birth to Liangyi, Liangyi gave birth to Sixiang, Sixiang gave birth to Bagua... Could it be that the Liangyi giving birth to Sixiang marks the Dan-forming stage, and that things will continue to change and grow according to the laws of the Taiji diagram...? Or is it the missing two fish eyes that caused the changes..." Zhang Qiang pondered, ultimately coming to no useful conclusion. "After Dulong has transcended his tribulation, I should go back to the formation to check... It's been over ten years... I guess they've gone back too... Is everyone all right?" Time flew by during his cultivation. Year after year passed, and another five years had passed. Dulong's chrysalis gradually turned reddish-brown, and its rate of absorbing spiritual energy increased significantly! Zhang Qiang even developed an illusion that as his Taiji ball's speed increased, Dulong's spiritual energy absorption would also increase. It seemed as if Dulong's Yin-Yang eyes were somehow connected to his Taiji ball! As Zhang Qiang's cultivation level increased, the Tai Chi Ball's rotation speed gradually increased. Dulong and himself also absorbed spiritual energy faster. Actively activating the Tai Chi Ball, only Zhang Qiang's cultivation speed increased, while Dulong's remained unchanged. "Practice... Stop dwelling on what you don't understand..."
