Chapter 115 True Qi and Fake Core
The men's bath is located on the floor of the hot spring pool.
Taiichi placed one palm on Rantarō's head, closed his eyes, and opened his mind to observe the changes in the other's body.
At the same time, his true energy was continuously flowing into Rantaro's body.
From Taiyi's perspective, he seemed to be in complete darkness, with only a humanoid silhouette surrounded by rising white smoke in front of him.
The true energy quickly circulated through Rantaro's body, but after all this, nothing changed.
Name: Fujinami Rantaro
【Age: 23】
[Lifespan: 52]
[Essence: 64]
[Qi and Blood: 7]
[Soul: 1]
Using the system to observe, Taiichi found that Rantaro's data had not changed. He frowned, wondering if he had made a mistake somewhere.
"It's already circulated inside his body, yet there's been no change. This parasite... it doesn't seem to be true qi; perhaps it's blood..."
"Huh? No!"
"Leaving aside blood for now, true qi doesn't just circulate between the flesh and blood, but also through the nine orifices!"
Feeling his inner core floating in the mysterious central palace, Taiyi's expression shifted slightly, and he began to adjust his spiritual power to the highest level.
Got it wrong?
That's a mistake, let's try again!
An ordinary person's spiritual power is 1, while mine is currently over 420.
This immense spiritual power instantly allowed Taiichi to pinpoint the location in Rantarō's mind, specifically the central area between the upper dantian on his forehead and the Yuzhen point at the back of his head.
With a thought, he guided the true energy to flow into the central palace.
The next second, something amazing happened!
Inside Rantaro's empty inner palace, the true energy that had entered actually began to condense into a ball. After compression, it directly turned into something that looked exactly like Taiichi's own inner core!
Both the way they move and their appearance are the same; the only difference is that they are much, much smaller.
"Don't move, don't speak." As Taichi closed his eyes, he noticed that Rantaro might have also noticed the changes in him and wanted to ask a question, so he quickly reminded him.
Seeing that the other party did not move, he continued:
"Remember this feeling, remember the trajectory of the Qi. When I withdraw my hand, you can start breathing exercises on your own."
"Okay, let's get started."
Taiyi withdrew his hand, sat down, and began to observe the other party with his divine sense.
Rantaro sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and a white towel was placed over his lower abdomen.
With each breath he took, it seemed as if something floating in the air was continuously entering his body.
However, compared to Taiichi, who was also practicing breathing exercises next to him, the amount of qi that Rantaro inhaled was like a trickle of water facing a mighty river; it was not even in the same league.
Call ~
Rantaro opened his eyes, first just a slit, then they widened, and widened again, until finally, his whole body began to tremble.
"Taiyi, I... I can feel the Qi!"
"This is simply amazing!"
He looked down at his arm. Although it was still as slender as before, as he clenched his fist, the veins that emerged from under his skin, like vines, showed that he had much more strength than before!
Upon hearing Rantaro's excited voice, Taichi also opened his eyes.
Well-defined muscles, fair and smooth skin, and that handsome face.
Rantaro, who was standing next to him, glanced at it and immediately twitched his eye. He then turned his head away in embarrassment.
After Taiyi stood up, he wrapped a towel around his waist and walked towards the dressing room, saying casually:
"It's a good thing to be able to feel it; remember that feeling."
"If you persevere, you can live to 80."
what!
Rantaro's mouth gaped open again as he stared blankly at Taichi's back, feeling as if he were hearing a myth.
80 years old! He had almost never heard of anyone around him who lived to be 80!
"Taiyi, what did you do to me?"
Rantaro asked, looking rather naive.
"It's nothing, I just taught you how to cultivate Taoist true qi."
With his back to the other person, Taichi raised his hand and waved, indicating that he shouldn't worry about the details, but Rantaro heard the key information in his words.
Taoist Qi? Isn't that a term from Tang China? I can live to be 80? Can Qi cultivation really make me like that?
Is this the knowledge that Taiyi learned from reading the Daoist Canon every day?
"The knowledge of Tang China is truly incredible..."
Rantaro muttered to himself.
Taiyi heard his words, and although he didn't make any big movements, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
But the next second, he focused his attention on the process of planting the "seed" in Rantaro.
"I never imagined that parasitism could be used in this way."
Turning his head to the side, Taiichi glanced at Rantaro, who was still standing there in a daze, and immediately saw the other's data.
Name: Fujinami Rantaro
【Age: 23】
Lifespan: 60 (8)
[Energy: 70 (6)]
[Qi and Blood: 15 (8)]
[Spiritual Essence: 5.5 (4.5)]
"The data outside the parentheses belongs to Rantaro, while the data inside... belongs to me!"
Taiyi turned his face back, then his eyes became incredibly sharp, and the corners of his mouth changed from being upturned to being wide open.
For example, if Rantaro's current essence value is 70, and there is a 6 in parentheses, it means that the 6 points in parentheses can be taken by Taichi and added to himself.
Taiyi estimated that even if he took 6 points from others, he might not actually gain an equal 6 points; he estimated it would only be 1 to 2 points.
Even so, it's more than enough!
In order to investigate what this "parasitism" in the side effect was all about, Taiichi just used Rantaro's body to conduct a simple study.
I was just trying it out, but to my surprise, I succeeded.
Because your own system doesn't suddenly acquire new abilities.
Everything that appears is based on what has already been obtained or what was once possessed.
Upon hearing the mention of parasitism, Taichi immediately thought of the cells that Muzan had injected into him, as well as the scent of lotus flowers.
Therefore, the use of the parasitic ability is not much different from these two.
If we were to conduct an experiment, we would definitely start with air.
"Fortunately, the result is good. It seems that the system has chosen to upgrade and develop based on the lotus flower's energy and combined with my own characteristics."
“True Qi parasitizes and plants a fake elixir. In fact, if I don’t take it back, then this fake elixir will be the real elixir to the parasitized one.”
"And if I wanted to, it seemed like I could read some of the other person's thoughts."
With a thought, Rantaro's voice appeared in Taiichi's mind, saying things like "How amazing!", "I'm awesome again!", and "I'll work hard to become even more handsome than Taiichi!"
At the same time, he also thought of Muzan's cell parasitism.
Both are parasites, both are parasitic, and both are enhanced based on the size of the mother organism.
Although one's own true qi fake pills cannot immediately make the parasitized person extremely powerful, their advantage is that they have few side effects.
People who are possessed by true energy will not lose their minds or become deformed.
Compared to cannibals, whose bodies change and memories become confused after being injected with Muzan's cells, his parasitism is quite good.
"Besides, it's best not to give cells to just anyone."
If one's own cells also have the ability to parasitize.
Once injected into someone else's body, who knows where it will merge into?
It would be too shocking if Rantaro's wife had another child and found that the child looked almost exactly like him.
"Hiss~ How terrifying!"
"No more experiments, no more experiments. It's enough that the true qi can parasitize."
"As for cells and stuff, let's forget about it."
Thinking of this, Taiyi involuntarily shivered and quickly banished this strange thought from his mind.
