102: Chapter 102 The Mind of Opening the Apertures, Planting the Dragon Eye

The mist-like titan blood crystal energy drifted quietly within Qin Feng's body, as if transforming his physique into a mysterious and eerie world of fog.

His blood surged, yet it felt like the rush of an indescribable creature.

His stomach and intestines rumbled, yet it sounded like the roar of a mysterious and profound behemoth.

His heart beat, yet it felt like a tentacled sun rising into the sky.

And so on...

In an instant.

Inside Qin Feng's body, everything had become indescribable, absurd, and treacherous... of course, this was only from an outsider's perspective.

Any being with a weak consciousness who "saw" the mysterious sights within Qin Feng's body would feel horrified and terrified, as if they had entered an otherworldly Realm filled with gods.

But for Qin Feng.

He only felt extremely comfortable inside.

Even.

He had a feeling of being completely reborn.

It seemed his body was no longer that of a Mortal.

Instead, it was evolving in a mysterious direction.

"blood crystal rice is truly amazing!"

Qin Feng finished another bowl in a matter of seconds.

His stomach and intestines digested it instantly.

He felt as though he could keep eating like this forever, without stopping.

However.

Qin Feng did not serve himself a third bowl.

He took a deep breath.

Suppressing the gluttonous desire in his heart.

He began his Breathing.

Allowing his body to naturally absorb the titan blood crystal energy.

At the same time, he set down the bowl.

And picked up a notebook beside him.

This was one of the many Flesh Technology notebooks Xia Qingchuan had kept in the base, recording his insights and the essence of his technology. If this were placed outside, it would surely drive countless Flesh Technology scientists mad, but Qin Feng flipped through it as casually as if it were extracurricular reading.

After all.

Notebooks like this one.

There were dozens more piled up in the warehouse.

Besides those, there were many works by others, seemingly the reflections and insights written by Xia Qingchuan's former colleagues.

"I can eat the blood crystal rice later. For now, the most important thing for me is the Planting and production of 'ether dragon essence.' That is the absolute top priority."

On the last page of this notebook.

There was handwriting belonging to Qin Feng.

The content written there.

Was exactly the method Xia Qingchuan had told him last night about how to mass-produce 'ether dragon essence'.

"After last night's cultivation, I have basically finished condensing the nine Acupoints recorded in the Dragon Tiger Secret Pile. Adding the five from the White Ape Health-Preserving Secret Pile, I have successfully condensed fourteen Acupoints in my body."

"In particular, one of them has already reached the 'Aperture Opening' Realm from the 'Initial Aperture' level after these days of accumulation."

To become a true Martial Artist.

The hard standard.

Is to condense nine apertures.

And.

All nine apertures must reach the stage of 'Aperture Opening'.

Five apertures at 'Aperture Opening' makes one a Quasi-Martial Artist.

Nine apertures at 'Aperture Opening' makes one a true Martial Artist.

Right now, Qin Feng has condensed fourteen Acupoints.

Combined with one aperture at 'Aperture Opening', if other factors are ignored, his pure individual strength is already very close to that of a Quasi-Martial Artist.

This cultivation speed was actually quite astonishing!

After all, his 'Heavenly Breathing' Martial Arts Foundation, combined with the titan blood crystal, had a certain accelerating effect on both condensing and upgrading Acupoints.

But even so.

He was still far from being a true Martial Artist.

Still very far away.

As the saying goes, achieving 'Aperture Opening' for one aperture is easy.

But achieving 'Aperture Opening' for all nine.

Each aperture is more difficult than the last.

Even though Qin Feng's cultivation speed was very fast, he still needed a lot of time to grind through it, but time was exactly what he lacked most right now.

However...

If he had 'ether dragon essence' to assist him, this difficulty would no longer be a difficulty.

According to Xia Qingchuan's explanation.

As long as there was a sufficient amount of 'ether dragon essence', as long as his mental will could withstand it, and as long as complete preparations were made to eliminate pollution.

It could definitely help him be reborn, open all nine apertures, and soaring to become a Martial Artist overnight would not be a problem!

"Right now I only have one 'ether dragon essence', which is naturally not enough."

"No matter how Heaven-Defying the efficiency of this 'ether dragon essence' is at upgrading Acupoints, it can't help me raise all eight Acupoints to the 'Aperture Opening' stage at once."

"Therefore, I must cultivate and produce more 'ether dragon essence'."

Qin Feng flipped through the notebook.

Recalling everything Xia Qingchuan had said yesterday.

He began to prepare.

In short.

To cultivate and produce 'ether dragon essence'.

It was actually similar to the operation of Planting Lu Qingran's brain in the 'life-nurturing bottle' yesterday.

What he needed to do at the start was also 'Planting'.

There were three steps:

1. Prepare the special 'ether soil' and any container.

2. Plant the 'defiled dragon eye' into it, water it with a specially formulated 'ether fluid', and use a certain special material related to a Demon God as flesh-and-blood nutrients for it to absorb.

3. Wait for a special 'fruit' to grow from the soil, perform an Anatomy on this 'fruit', and there will be a certain probability of harvesting 'ether dragon essence'.

After the Anatomy.

The 'defiled dragon eye' used as the seed would be recovered.

To obtain more 'ether dragon essence'.

One only needed to keep Planting it repeatedly.

In a continuous cycle.

The harvest of 'ether dragon essence'.

Theoretically, it would be a never-ending supply!

Of course...

That was only the theory; it was easier said than done.

In actual practice, Qin Feng was quite uncertain whether any accidents or changes would occur, whether sudden difficulties would arise, or if it would truly succeed.

But how would he know without trying?

"Let's try Planting it first."

"According to Xia Qingchuan's theory, as long as watering is timely and nutrients are sufficient, the growth cycle of this 'fruit' that can yield ether dragon essence through Anatomy is very fast."

"It's even faster than Lu Qingran, taking only three days."

"Even if it fails, I can learn from the experience and try again."

He looked at the notebook once more.

Memorizing the process.

Qin Feng acted without the slightest hesitation.

Since there was no need to make a specialized container like the 'life-nurturing bottle', and because Qin Feng already had experience making 'ether soil' from yesterday, he only needed to change some of the proportions to make it more suitable for the 'defiled dragon eye' to grow.

Thus, in not much time.

Qin Feng completed the Planting work.

Next.

He prepared the 'ether fluid' needed for watering.

Fortunately, many medicinal fluids in Xia Qingchuan's base were semi-finished or even ready-made. Even though Qin Feng lacked experience, after two or three failures, he finally succeeded in preparing a bottle.

The azure, translucent liquid shimmered with a strange light inside the transparent glass bottle.

Qin Feng poured it out.

Into the 'ether soil' laid out in the flowerpot.

This soil was not black or red like normal dirt, but instead displayed a special blue color, and each grain was distinct and semi-transparent.

At first glance.

It looked like tiny blue diamond fragments.

It actually gave off a quite beautiful and dazzling feeling.
