Why? I have a martial body, a natural cultivation physique, so my perception should be very fast, right?
Li Chen was very puzzled, and everyone was even more puzzled. They thought that Li Chen's perception of zhenqi should be a sure thing. Why would such an accident happen?
Niu Tianyun had been controlling his True Qi for four hours continuously, and he had to be careful not to hurt Li Chen. At this time, he was already very tired.
Forcefully raising his spirits, Niu Tianyun unwillingly probed Li Chen's body once again. He did not let go of any corner from top to bottom. Unfortunately, the final result was that Li Chen's body did not have any innate origin aura at all.
This result was very regrettable, but it was also very surprising.
Logically speaking, any baby would be born with a small amount of innate origin, and that innate origin would slowly dissipate with the passage of time.
The Martial Dao of the True Martial Continent was prosperous. It had been known through countless experiments that the Innate Origin could theoretically exist in the body for more than thirty years. The Innate Origin would completely disappear after an ordinary person reached thirty years old.
However, Li Chen was only 20 years old this year. Although he had missed the best time to cultivate and the innate origin was rarer than a child, his aptitude was extraordinary and he had a rare martial body. He should have retained a lot of the innate origin aura.
Why not? This shouldn't be!
Other than his body, the only other reason he could not sense zhenqi was that his innate origin had dissipated. There was no third possibility.
Li Chen's physical body was a martial body that was one in a million. His body could be said to be the most perfect body for martial arts cultivation. There was no problem with sensing true energy.
In that case, the reason could only be that his Innate Origin Energy had dissipated in advance. However, Li Chen was only twenty years old. Why did his Innate Origin Energy dissipate?
They racked their brains for various reasons, but they all neglected the most important question, where did Li Chen come from?
Everyone would retain a trace of their innate origin before the age of 30. The prerequisite for this age was to be in the True Martial Continent.
The True Martial Continent was rich in spiritual energy. Ordinary people could easily live past a hundred years old. One could imagine how rich the spiritual energy was. Although they didn't know how to cultivate, they slowly nourished their bodies with their breathing.
The medical environment on Earth could be said to be very good. It was ten times or a hundred times better than that of the True Martial Continent. However, centenarians were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. There were too many centenarians in the True Martial Continent to count.
What about Earth? The environment was severely damaged, like a super large garbage dump. There was not a single place that could be said to be clean. The air was full of dust and poisonous gases. You were lucky that you didn't die from poisoning.
Earth's environment was depleting a person's life potential at every moment. Li Chen's 20 years on Earth could be said to have been spent in exhaustion. It would be strange if the rare innate origin in his body could be retained.
Midnight. The moon was cold, the wind was cold, and the heart was even colder.
Li Chen's heart grew colder and colder like the icy sky, and his hope became increasingly slim.
The sky was already dark, and even the usually bright silver moon seemed to sense the current environment and quietly hid in the clouds.
Li Chen was lying on the ground, his long fingers deeply embedded in the ground. His eyes were red, and his body was sweating like rain. He was shaking, and his expression was extremely ferocious.
He did not expect that he would fall off a cliff at night while he was happily pointing at the mountains in the morning. It could be said that there was a huge difference between heaven and earth.
He was unwilling, he was very unwilling.
His family had been destroyed, and now he only had the dream of martial arts left. After three months of inhuman perseverance, it was so difficult to even sense the most basic zhenqi.
" Why are you so cruel to me?" Li Chen's heart was like dead ashes." Are you going to be an ordinary mortal for the rest of your life?"
Bang!
Li Chen could no longer hold on and fell to the ground. His entire body was decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was not much life left. Everyone knew that this was because their hearts had died.
The few of them were shocked. Niu Wen, who had been staying not far away from Li Chen, instantly ran in front of Li Chen and pulled up Li Chen, who was already exhausted and lying on the ground.
Niu Wen looked at him with an unbearable expression. He opened his mouth, but he did not know how to speak. After a long time, he comforted him gently,"Scholar Brother, look on the bright side. Perhaps there's a way to let the village chief see what the problem is."”
Li Chen's face was ashen as he smiled miserably.""Haha! What problem could there be? What solution could there be? What other reason could there be for the disappearance of the innate source?”
How could he not know? He was extremely familiar with the basics of martial arts. How could he not know the common sense of not being able to sense true qi?
"There's no hope. God, why are you treating me like this?”Li Chen roared at the sky. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was flushed red. He had suffered internal injuries.
The helplessness of a broken family, the helplessness of a broken dream, and the depression in his heart completely defeated Li Chen. Without dreams, he was no different from a walking corpse.
Niu Wen hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique to help Li Chen circulate a mouthful of true energy to wake him up. He carried him to the bedroom in a hurry and let him lie on the bed.
After Li Chen lay down properly, Niu Wen checked for a while and then heaved a heavy sigh. He looked up at the anxious three people and said,"It's fine. Scholar bro has a martial body and his physical fitness is strong. He'll be fine after resting for two days.”
Ever since he had learned how to read, Niu Wen had been focusing on his medical skills. He had been dealt a heavy blow in martial arts, so he could only regain his confidence in other aspects. Now that his medical skills had improved greatly, Niu Wen knew that Li Chen's internal injuries were not too serious. He was just worried.
"That's good, that's good."
Looking at Li Chen, who was staring blankly at the roof, the few of them also looked uncomfortable and comforted him softly. It was just that they were a bunch of boorish men who only knew how to cultivate. What kind of enlightenment could they say?
Niu Tianyun let out an imperceptible sigh. What a good child. Whether it was his temperament, tenacity, or perseverance, he was not bad. It was a pity that the heavens were jealous of talents!
The atmosphere in the room was very heavy. No one knew how to speak. They did not know how to persuade him. If they were in their shoes, they would have gone crazy long ago.
Li Chen didn't seem to notice the four of them. His eyes were fixed on the wooden beams. His heart was at war with the heavens, and his gaze was unfocused.
Li Chen felt extremely miserable. Not to mention the heart-wrenching suffering on Earth, he had been suffering since he arrived at the True Martial Continent.
First, he was almost killed by a wolf, then he experienced a terrifying beast tide. He almost died a few times and even gave birth to a suspected big demon. After that, he endured the pain that he had never experienced before and cultivated for three months. He thought that the pain was over and he did not expect it to be all for nothing.
Could this be my fate? After thinking about it for a long time, Li Chen calmed down and sighed.
He turned around and looked at the four people who had a bitter expression on their faces. With difficulty, he revealed a smile and said,"Village Chief, Uncle Tie, A Wen, A Wu, you don't have to worry about me. I'm not that weak.”
Hearing this, Niu Tianyun sighed." I admire your broad-mindedness, Scholar Brother. I'm really happy for you to be able to think things through." Don't worry, I'll definitely think of a way.”
"Thank you for your concern, Village Chief. However, my innate source has dissipated in advance.”Li Chen said hopefully.
Niu Tianyun's expression froze. He shook his head and sighed,""This old master is not too sure. After all, I have never encountered such a situation before, so this old master cannot say anything.”
He was a martial arts fanatic who had always been obsessed with martial arts, so he believed that his understanding of martial arts was very deep. However, in the face of such a sudden situation, he had no way to speak. They had always been holed up in the Niu Family Village, so their knowledge was really shallow.
As expected, he didn't know. Li Chen's heart turned cold as he sighed bitterly."Is there really nothing I can do in my situation?”
"If only there were the legendary Marrow Cleansing Pill, Book Changing Pill, or natural spirit herbs to reconstruct the origin!”Niu Wen, who was sitting beside the bed, shook his head and said. Clearly, he was daydreaming.
Li Chen had read about these elixirs and spirit medicines in the Hundred Herbs Catalog. They were extremely rare and every single one of them would cause a bloody storm. Moreover, he had never heard of anyone possessing these elixirs in the Fire Country.
The Book Changing Pill and the Marrow Cleansing Pill, did he really have the luck to obtain those legendary items? Without even thinking, Li Chen's expression was desolate.
The few of them thought hard and were silent for a while. Niu Tianyun suddenly sighed faintly,"If only Master was here. Master would definitely have a way.”
"That's right. How could I forget? Village Chief's master.”
Li Chen suddenly remembered how extraordinary this martial artist was. He could casually give away precious scriptures like the Giant Spirit Art and the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture to his disciple, and he had not paid any attention to them for twenty years. He must be a master who played around in the world. Perhaps that martial artist had a solution to his problem.
"Village chief, can you find your master? I beg you to find him…" Like a drowning man grasping at the last straw, Li Chen crawled up and grabbed Niu Tianyun's long sleeves, begging.
Li Chen had never begged anyone, but he had no other wishes in this life. He only wanted to become a martial artist. How could he give up? How could he be willing?
Hearing this, the eyes of Niu Wen and his brother lit up. They raised their heads and looked at Niu Tianyun with anticipation in their eyes. The two of them also wanted to see what the legendary grandmaster looked like.
Niu Tianyun stood up and helped Li Chen sit down. He sighed and said,""Silly boy, silly boy, what's wrong with being an ordinary person? Why must you insist on surviving in the cracks of the martial arts path!”
"Village Chief, you know that my family is broken and I'm all alone now. Other than martial arts, I really don't know what the meaning of my life is. I don't want to live like a zombie. Village Chief, I have no regrets even if I have to die for the sake of cultivation.”Li Chen's tone was resolute. His conviction in martial arts was shocking.
What a strong desire. Was he stupid? Naive? Even though he knew that he couldn't do it, he still didn't turn back! Li Chen's determination surprised the four of them.
Niu Tianyun was stunned. Then, he laughed out loud."What a good one. Even if we die, we won't have any regrets. Well said, aren't we martial artists who defy the heavens and change our lives?
His master had once said that as a martial artist, one should have the spirit of advancing forward without regret even if they died. Unfortunately, my 20 years of peaceful life had smoothed out my edges and corners. I forgot Master's instructions. I've really let Master down.“
As if the knot in his heart had been untied, Niu Tianyun's entire aura changed. The few of them could clearly feel a sharp aura gathering on his body.
