105: Chapter 105 Comparison of Spiritual Energy, *The Fire Control Technique*

Zhao Feng's Spiritual Qi originated from the atomic organism he created—the Evolutionary Spirit. The Evolutionary Spirit possessed biological characteristics, and the spiritual power formed by a large number of Evolutionary Spirits naturally also possessed some biological characteristics. Simply put, Zhao Feng's spiritual power was alive.

The reason why the spiritual power formed by the Evolutionary Spirit produced characteristics similar to water, fire, wind, etc., was the result of evolution over a long period. The evolutionary force field rooted in the genes made the Evolutionary Spirit constantly evolve, and the Evolutionary Spirit attached to Zhao Feng's body, due to the influence of Zhao Feng's Mental Energy, gave the host ultimate control over it.

Mental Energy influenced spiritual power, and spiritual power also nurtured Mental Energy in return; this was Zhao Feng's spiritual power.

Whether the Spiritual Qi of Yaoling Planet was like this was hard to say; it required careful observation. "Stones from other hills may serve to polish the jade of this one"—the Spiritual Qi of Yaoling Planet might well have aspects that the Evolutionary Spirit could learn from.

Activating the Heavenly Eye ability, Zhao Feng's brow flashed, and a wondrous spiritual mark opened, revealing the mysterious side of the outside world to him.

The world was no longer the colors it presented, but expressed all its lines in five colors. There were yellow, white-gold, cyan-green, black, and red. The areas they occupied were not the same, with red and yellow being the most abundant, while the other colors were fewer, especially black and cyan-green, which were very sparse.

These colors produced different sensations in Zhao Feng's mind: sharp, fiery, heavy, full of vitality, and nourishing. These five sensations should be the Five Elements Spiritual Qi of Yaoling Planet: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

Zhao Feng's own spiritual power was very complex. It not only had the five types of the Five Elements but also rarer ones like Lightning, Wind, Light, and Darkness. These complex spiritual power components restrained and depended on each other, eventually, under the guidance of his mental will, mixing with the Martial Artist's inner breath to form a two-colored spiritual power.

Returning to the source from the two-colored spiritual power, Zhao Feng extracted the Five Elements spiritual power and began to compare it with the Five Elements Spiritual Qi of Yaoling Planet. As soon as his Mental Energy gathered, Zhao Feng felt the difference.

The Five Elements Spiritual Qi of Yaoling Planet was too pure. Metal was just extremely sharp and rigid; Wood was just infinitely vital and flexible...

Moreover, under the infection of Mental Energy, these spiritual powers did not resist but were quickly refined. The spiritual power was attached to the mental will and became Zhao Feng's spiritual power.

Zhao Feng withdrew that mental will and fell into deep thought.

Because his Mental Energy was not up to the standard, the microscope function could not see whether the essence of these spiritual powers was also something like an atomic organism, but it was very obvious that these spiritual powers were not life.

When Zhao Feng's spiritual power sensed mental will, it would have weak reactions like rejection or joy; the atomic organism was too small to show specific emotions.

Roughly comparing them, the power that the Spiritual Qi of Yaoling Planet could display was more powerful. For the same unit of spiritual power, the effect displayed by the Spiritual Qi of Yaoling Planet exceeded that of Zhao Feng's spiritual power.

Although this was his current feeling, Zhao Feng knew not to rashly conclude that his own spiritual power was not good. Perhaps he would understand clearly later; currently, there was too little information, and the evolutionary characteristics of his own spiritual power were actually very awesome.

The two types of spiritual power were indeed different in extremely subtle sensations, but such minor differences were estimated to have little impact on the Cultivation Technique. Zhao Feng tried to run it in his body according to the cultivation route of the 《Fire Control Technique》.

Soon, Zhao Feng understood the principles of the 《Fire Control Technique》. This Cultivation Technique guided spiritual power to run through several Yang meridians, allowing the spiritual power to continuously filter out Fire Spiritual Qi similar in nature to the Yang meridians during operation, and then gradually assimilate it for his own use.

But one question remained: before having a certain strength of Mental Energy, how was this infection of spiritual power completed? The Mental Energy of ordinary people was scattered and could not form a combined force, so it was impossible to infect the spiritual power, meaning it could not be refined. Could it be that all cultivators on Yaoling Planet needed to rely on strong Innate Mental Energy or fortuitous encounters?

This question was temporarily unsolvable; he would leave it for later. The Cultivation Technique in the Jade Slip could indeed be cultivated, but the absorption effect was not necessarily very good, and unlike the spiritual power in Zhao Feng's body which could grow automatically, these spiritual powers needed to be accumulated bit by bit. However, the benefit of the Cultivation Technique was that it solved a dilemma Zhao Feng had faced for a long time: Spells.

As a Cultivation Technique for Artifact Refining, there was still a simple fire-igniting Spell. This fire-igniting Spell could ignite Fire Spiritual Qi at one point for a short time, using spiritual power as fuel to generate a spiritual fire.

Learning the Spell was not difficult, especially for someone like him who had strengthened his brain.

After learning the fire-igniting Spell, he stopped cultivating, preparing to stand up and make something to eat.

There were still more than ten kilograms of rock sheep meat left. Without any utensils, he would just make roasted meat.

Fortunately, although this village lacked water, salt was not lacking. Without firewood, he dismantled a few broken wooden racks, which could burn for a few days.

By modifying the terrain, Zhao Feng obtained a pool of water, then washed the mutton slices clean, skewered them on wooden sticks, lit a bonfire with the fire-igniting Spell, and set them on the rack to roast.

The rock sheep was very fat and had a lot of grease, which solved the dilemma of not being able to brush oil.

The aroma gradually drifted out, along with a faint mutton smell.

Zhao Feng didn't really like the mutton smell, but there was no other way; there were not many prey nearby.

The woman, who had long woken up and was sitting in meditation to heal her wounds, smelled the aroma and rarely had an appetite. She walked out of the room, looked at Zhao Feng who was roasting meat in the courtyard, and walked over with some hesitation.

Zhao Feng smiled without looking back, "Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

"Mm, thank you!" The woman squatted next to Zhao Feng, resting her chin on her hand, watching the gradually golden roasted meat.

"May I ask for your name, Miss?" The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Zhao Feng had to bring up a topic.

The woman frowned and said, "I... don't remember."

Seeing that her expression did not seem fake, Zhao Feng nodded and said, "It's really inconvenient to keep saying 'you' like this. Why not pick a new one?"

"That's fine, but I'm not good at naming. Could you help me pick one?" The woman did not hesitate, but instead said straightforwardly.

"Seeing you for the first time, I saw you falling like a shooting star, just like a falling flower. How about we call you Luo Ying?" Zhao Feng thought for a moment and said a name he wasn't too satisfied with.

"Okay, let's call it Luo Ying."

"Luo Ying, nice to meet you. My name is Zhao Feng." Zhao Feng said with a chuckle.

"Thank you for saving my life, Zhao Feng." Luo Ying smiled, and her not-so-pretty face actually had a hint of unique charm.

"Quick! The meat is burnt!" Luo Ying chided lightly.

Zhao Feng was stunned for a moment, then felt the meat in his hand being snatched away, and Luo Ying began to turn the roasted meat quickly.

Neither of them had good roasting skills, but this meal of roasted meat still tasted delicious. While chatting, the two became familiar with each other, at least starting to make some harmless jokes.

Time quickly came to the evening, and the two chatted for a long time without realizing it. Luo Ying was actually a lively character, looking about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and her cultivation was even a step higher than Zhao Feng's.

From Luo Ying, Zhao Feng learned about the history of Yaoling Planet. Cultivators on Yaoling Planet respected the Yao Race, and the three great Yao Saints were high above. As for the Human Race, they were just servants kept by the Yao Race. There was no such thing as the Human Race among the Yao Race; the Yao Race called the Human Race "inferior apes."

Luo Ying had lost her memory about her background, but her memory regarding cultivation was completely intact.

On Yaoling Planet, cultivators had nine Realms from the initial Qi Refining, followed by Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Emergence, Divided Soul, Body Integration, Undergoing Tribulation, and Mahayana. As for the Immortal Realm above Mahayana, no Yao had reached it for thousands of years. The famous three great Yao Saints were in a strange Realm that was half-successful in Undergoing Tribulation—Loose Immortal.

By the bonfire, the two continued to talk with great interest, but brought up a topic that made Zhao Feng suddenly realize something.
