The Original Seeker

"Am I just going to have to survive at such a slow pace of Qi training? Then the advantage I gained from discovering the usefulness of spirit stones and spiritual energy a few months in advance will soon be worn away."

Bai Mo just stared at the moon in a daze the whole night.

"However, I really can't think of any way to improve the absorption of spiritual energy. The spiritual rivers in various places have disappeared, the density of spiritual energy has tended to be uniform around the world, and there are no places like caves and paradises. How can we artificially increase the speed of absorbing spiritual energy?

"The further you go in Qi training, the greater the demand for spiritual energy, but the density of spiritual energy is just that, and the relative speed becomes slower as you progress."

A host of questions troubled the young man.

"If we compare spiritual energy to air, we need to increase the density of the gas, either by pressurizing it and stuffing more air into it while keeping the volume unchanged, or in other words, by compressing the volume of the existing air. Apply pressure from the outside to force the spiritual energy into the body.”

"Another way is to create an air pressure difference, that is, a density difference, between the inside and outside of the body. Then the external spiritual energy will spontaneously flow from places with high concentration to places with low concentration."

"If we could create such a structure in the body that could create a vacuum of spiritual energy, we could pump spiritual energy from the outside into the body like a vacuum pump. However, the time required for the body to evolve such a structure is incalculable."

"The human body breathes oxygen in the air, and each breath consumes about one-fourth to one-fifth of the oxygen inhaled. The amount of spiritual energy that can actually be absorbed into the body is only about 2 in my spiritual estimation. %, which is much lower than the absorption efficiency of oxygen.”

"As for Hua Lao and the others who were scanned before, it is estimated that the actual absorption may be barely 1%. As for ordinary people who do not have the ability to awaken, the efficiency is estimated to be even lower. The remaining spiritual energy absorbed is returned to the atmospheric environment again, so increasing The absorption efficiency is also worth studying.”

...

Bai Mo walked to the desk, picked up his notebook, and recorded his various thoughts.

He didn't care whether these ideas were imagined from novels or based on knowledge of the real world. He wrote them all down and began to deduce the feasibility of each idea. He also wrote down the ideas below. The result of your own deduction.

"Purpose 1: Create a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the body and accelerate the rate of inhalation of spiritual energy."

"Method 1: Consciously induce the body to evolve a spiritual vacuum point. Evaluation: For the time being, we can only live in novels. The actual operation is extremely difficult and requires long-term experiments to deduce the corresponding techniques."

"Method 2: Use mental power to induce the aura to gather in a certain area of ​​the body, thereby increasing the aura density of a certain part individually and accelerating the evolution of that part."

"As for other parts, due to the relatively low density of spiritual energy, the evolution may slow down, but it is also possible that the density of spiritual energy becomes lower, causing more external spiritual energy to enter the body due to the difference in spiritual pressure. Evaluation: It is feasible to a certain extent, but the key depends on the induction of mental power. ability."

...

"Purpose two: increase the external spiritual energy pressure and press more spiritual energy into the body."

"Method 1: Make a special pressurized chamber and enter the interior to practice. Evaluation: The cost is high, but the feasibility is also high. The problem is that the pressurized chamber has certain requirements for physical strength, but it is not a problem for my body. The only problem is money. "

"Method 2: Use a method similar to obtaining liquid nitrogen to obtain liquid aura dissolved in the air. Evaluation: It requires extremely low temperatures and is dangerous to contact, so it is not recommended."

"Method 3: Use telekinesis to pressurize the surrounding air to create a relatively high-pressure environment. Evaluation: The cost is low and worth trying, but the time and intensity of telekinesis need to be controlled to avoid overdrafting the body."

...

Line after line, Bai Mo's notebook recorded various conjectures and related feasibility deductions.

In the end, he decided to try the method of applying pressure to the surroundings through telekinesis first.

The hyperbaric chamber method should be considered after entering the institute. Anyway, in Bai Mo's view, the funds for the Aura Institute will never be used up. There must be countless people willing to invest a large sum of money in order to live longer.

After taking notes, Bai Mo locked the notebook in a drawer and began to try new methods.

Bai Mo first used his mind power to create an isolation zone around himself to ensure that internal and external spiritual energy did not flow.

Then he began to increase the intensity of his telekinesis, slowly compressing the volume surrounded by the isolation zone, until the volume shrunk to the limit of his telekinesis at this stage before he stopped.

Bai Mo hesitated, he probably could only last less than ten minutes at this output power.

Moreover, after the volume was compressed, the air pressure around him also surged significantly. If his body hadn't evolved many times and become stronger both internally and externally, the pressure of the air would have caused him to explode on the spot!

Feeling that he had reached his limit, he began to slowly reduce the output of his telekinesis and reduce the high pressure inside the isolation zone until he felt that he could maintain it for a long time. At this time, the surrounding air pressure was eight atmospheres, which is about 80 meters underwater. pressure.

Under eight atmospheres of pressure, Bai Mo felt that the concentration of spiritual energy around him suddenly increased by eight times, and every cell in his body seemed to be cheering. Unfortunately, Bai Mo didn't have the heart to feel the higher concentration of spiritual energy just now, and found that his whole body was ready to Bleeding and exploding.

Through the perception of spiritual energy, he found that the rate of absorbing spiritual energy through his spiritual skin was about 6 times that of normal times. Unfortunately, the spiritual energy consumed to maintain his spiritual energy still exceeded the speed of absorbing and converting spiritual energy.

There was obviously no way to maintain this situation of making ends meet for a long time, so he had no choice but to continue to reduce the output power of his mind power and at the same time reduce the density of the surrounding compressed spiritual energy.

After many experiments, Bai Mo finally found a balance. While maintaining four atmospheres of pressure, the spiritual energy consumed at this time was slightly less than the spiritual energy generated by absorbing spiritual energy, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy was about three times as fast as before.

After finding the appropriate pressure, the remaining time for him was to learn to adapt to the new air pressure, and to develop the habit of immediately activating telekinesis acceleration when no one was around.

After calculation, based on his current situation, persisting in wearing such a "halo" can probably increase his Qi training speed by 2.5 to 2.7 times. This is a quite great breakthrough.

Bai Mo successfully put on the "aura", and then began to study how to turn the stress aura into an instinct, that is, how to still turn on the aura during unconscious times like sleeping.

It is not easy to create a new instinct artificially. It took him until midnight to successfully adapt himself to it and be able to act unconsciously.

At around eight o'clock the next day, he was still half-asleep and woken up by the alarm clock. With sleepy eyes, he began to prepare to leave for the research institute office in Tianhai City.

On the way there, Bai Mo tried his best to reduce physical contact with other people. In order not to crowd the bus, he directly found a taxi and sat in the back seat. He controlled the aura to about 10 centimeters away from the body and just looked at himself with his eyes closed. Practice your own Qi.

It was time to go to work in the morning, and Tianhai City was as congested as ever.

The short five-kilometer distance between Tianhai University and the institute's office had him stuck in traffic for more than half an hour. After getting off the bus, Bai Mo felt that it might be faster to run there.
