"You're awake." A familiar female voice came from behind.
He Xi was still sitting on the sofa, wearing a new set of pajamas, with a cup of coffee on the coffee table in front of her.
"Hmm, the side effects are quite significant, somewhat similar to aphrodisiacs. Perhaps you could improve it, Master." After exchanging glances, Li Dao briefly explained the side effects of the Dark Energy Liquid.
"Well, that's not a side effect. It's just that your body is too weak. I estimate that half a bottle is the limit that you can absorb right now, so it's normal that you can't handle even half a bottle."
He Xi refuted Li Dao's statement and then continued, "Because when I was preparing the medicine, the ratio was a little too high, which resulted in a slightly higher concentration of dark energy."
So what about your Tianji-1 computing power simulation? Each time the dosage is either too high or there are certain side effects. Are you trying to treat me like I'm from an island nation?
Li Dao was speechless, but seeing He Xi calmly sipping her coffee, he shrugged helplessly.
Alright, I won't argue with a 30,000-year-old lady.
"And can't you feel your body recovering rapidly? I'm just curious about the upper limit of energy your body can handle."
He Xi put down her coffee and said calmly, "Even if the experiment goes wrong and you die, I can still revive you."
Alright! I have no way to refute that.
Li Dao was helpless.
Because everything He Xi said was true.
For any powerful god with abundant resources, rescuing people from the dark dimension is a basic operation; they can revive others at will.
Of course, this is on the premise that the person's dark data is still present in the dark dimension; otherwise, even with extraordinary means, it would be difficult to revive them.
After all, you've lost all the data you left in the Dark Dimension. To revive you, we definitely need your data!
Without data, it's like having no medium for resurrection; wanting to be resurrected? Very difficult!
At the same time, Li Dao didn't care anymore.
Anyway, I've died so many times in my fantasy world that I no longer feel fear or even terror of death.
Sometimes, due to experimental errors, they might even decisively snap their own necks, just as they would snap the necks of an enemy.
As for pain? If you're in a fantasy world, where would pain come from?
"However, your body's energy absorption rate is increasing. It was originally 14.2%, and now it should be 14.5%, which is 0.3% higher than the previous upper limit."
"Your cell activity has slightly improved, your blood oxygen-carrying capacity has increased, and your respiratory rate has decreased. Based on your vitality, you are estimated to live for 324 years."
Based on the results obtained from the computing power, He Xi looked at Li Dao with her azure eyes and slowly spoke.
"So the dark energy liquid in my hand has a concentration of 14.5%?" Li Dao asked, slightly shaking the half-bottle of dark purple dark energy liquid in his hand.
He Xi replied softly, "No, the bottle in your hand has an energy concentration of 14.7%, and 0.2% of the energy is wasted."
Li Dao nodded, not surprised at all.
If the energy absorption limit of one's own body is reached, He Xi will not provide energy liquid and will not collect data.
Therefore, the energy liquid used each time should be formulated based on the previous body data and the principle of generally enhancing strength.
This explains why one bottle of energy drink is enough to "fill" you up.
Of course, Li Dao would only drink one or two more bottles when breaking through a realm, using the surging energy to break through to an even higher realm.
At that moment, Li Dao thought of the known dark energy in the universe. He immediately looked at He Xi's face, which showed no signs of aging, and asked, "What is the concentration of that dark energy in the universe?"
He Xi glanced at Li Dao briefly, then looked at the magnificent view outside the window, and said softly, "It depends on the location."
Before Li Dao could even ask questions, her voice continued, "The Earth's dark energy concentration is between 15.4% and 15.9%. You cannot actively absorb it for the time being unless your body's energy absorption rate reaches this range."
"In the known universe outside of Earth, the concentration of dark energy is very high, generally between 50% and 80%, making it very difficult to absorb directly, even for me."
Li Dao understood.
To actively absorb dark energy for cultivation, one would probably need to break through to the Innate Realm and increase the upper limit of energy absorption.
"What is the highest efficiency that lay Buddhist can achieve?" Li Dao asked.
“Around 29% to 30%.” He Xi took a sip of coffee and continued, “This is the maximum energy utilization efficiency that I can achieve by using the calculation method of Tianji-1 celestial body.”
"The large clock in Death Karl's hands should be better, but it's definitely no more than 50%, because 50% is the upper limit of the range and also the limit of the efficiency of celestial energy utilization."
"Even angels have such a low energy utilization rate in the world of gods, other civilizations are probably even lower. It's practically a treasure trove that's been developed but not fully explored," Li Dao thought to himself.
In this way, his martial arts skills became those of a rising star.
After all, the concentration of dark energy is so high. Once I can actively absorb Earth's dark energy, I won't have to worry about cultivation resources in the future, and I can also get rid of my dependence on angels.
"So now you know why I'm studying you, right? You can actively absorb dark energy from the outside world without relying on super-gene computation or celestial computer conversion."
"If other civilizations discovered your existence, they would actively approach and study you, but their methods would probably not be as gentle as mine."
"Moreover, according to my calculations, Karl, who is skilled in studying death and the void, has probably already set his sights on you, and Morgana is the pawn he is using to attack you."
He Xi looked at Li Dao calmly. She did not deceive him. According to the calculation trajectory of Tianji-1, everything from the beginning to Morgana's sudden move was traceable.
In particular, Li Dao's attack on Taotie confirmed that Karl would definitely make a move as well.
Karl, like himself, enjoyed exploring the unknown.
But I don't like things that are out of my control, while Karl is purely doing research for the sake of research, completely disregarding whether what he is researching is dangerous or terrifying.
"Sure enough, Karl was involved when Morgana attacked me last time," Li Dao thought to himself.
After escaping Morgana's capture last time, he had been speculating about the cause and effect. Combining this with what Angel Yan said when she left, it was easy to deduce that Karl, that old schemer, was the mastermind!
If the person Morgana fears most is Keisha, then the person she least wants to face is He Xi!
Because Morgana once lied to He Xi, she feels guilty and is naturally at a disadvantage when facing He Xi.
As for why he didn't feel guilty about betraying Keisha?
Because of his beliefs, he was chased all over the universe four times by his sister, watching his subordinates die and come back to life, come back to life and die again.
Even though Morgana initially felt guilty, she gradually came to hate Keisha's dictatorship because the latter had no intention of giving her any way out.
Furthermore, due to their differing ideologies, the blood sisters viewed each other as if they were their mother's killers, and when they met, they were incredibly affectionate, their words as sweet as honey.
"As long as you understand the pros and cons, I'm going to sleep now. Ying will send you the dark energy liquid you need tomorrow morning, so get back to your condition as soon as possible." After saying that, He Xi walked to the large bed and lay down.
Li Dao glanced at the sofa, then at the large bed where a curvaceous beauty lay, and sighed softly.
Why not just book another room? I also want to sleep in a soft, big bed! Damn Morgana! And that damned He Xi!
Just you wait! This humble Taoist priest will be going to bed sooner or later!
Chapter 63 Achieving the Innate Realm!
Spring has arrived in the blink of an eye, the season when all things mate.
The chill of March has faded, and the spring breeze is blowing. Although it is still a bit cold, it is not as damp and cold as last month.
Trees along the roads in Tianhe City are beginning to sprout new buds, creating a vibrant and lush green landscape.
In the courtyard of a seaside house, a tall, slender figure was practicing boxing. His movements were slow and graceful, like a sword immortal dancing with a free and easy style.
Tai Chi Chuan has a set of sword techniques called Tai Chi Sword!
Tai Chi is like a sword, elegant and unrestrained, yet sharp and piercing.
Li Dao is now practicing Tai Chi Chuan and Sword with his fists instead of swords, combined with the Yu Bu step, which is like a divine performance, full of elegance and agility.
Wow!
However, practicing boxing was not Li Dao's goal. As he wielded his fist and sword, the powerful qi and blood in his body gradually gathered in his internal organs, and strands of qi and blood transformed into round and full blood beads, which were stored in his internal organs.
By the pool, He Xi, dressed in a blue dress, sat on a lounge chair with a drink next to her and a book in her hand, occasionally observing Li Dao's movements.
Relaxed and carefree, what a joy!
"Hmm, physical fitness is improving rapidly, and mental fluctuations are also very active. It seems this is a significant breakthrough."
"That's to be expected. It's taken up a month's worth of my resources. If there's no significant progress, I should consider withdrawing my investment."
After finishing the book, He Xi used her Eye of Insight to observe Li Dao's data.
This villa was a gift from Angel International Building to He Xi a month ago, and He Xi accepted it without refusing.
And so, having acquired the villa, He Xi simply cancelled her hotel room and moved into this detached villa to enjoy herself.
Of course, only He Xi was enjoying it.
Li Dao, on the other hand, would cultivate by consuming resources every day. Occasionally, he would open a small hole in his body, causing blood to gush out. He would then ask He Xi to help him recover before continuing his cultivation day after day.
Now, Li Dao has accurately timed the moment the blood bead is about to explode, so the previous scene will not happen again.
hum!
As Li Dao's blood and qi decreased, a wisp of formless and intangible qi was born, followed by two wisps, three wisps... until he felt the qi filling his entire body.
But not enough!
“My Qi strength is completely insufficient. To withstand weapons below the level of the God-Slaying Martial, I must increase the strength of my Qi, otherwise it will just be an empty shell.”
Li Dao's eyes shone brightly. While the Qi was still flowing, he took out five bottles of dark energy liquid from his Daoist robe, opened all the caps, and drank them down.
In an instant, scalding and powerful energy surged from the stomach, flowing through the limbs and bones, transforming into a torrent of pure energy.
"Awesome!!" Li Dao gritted his teeth, his eyes brighter and clearer than ever before. He let the energy in his body surge wildly, while controlling all his blood and qi, directing it towards his dantian.
That's right, Li Dao planned to use the "Embracing the Elixir" technique to condense all his Qi and blood into a single point, continuously increasing its strength, and finally, like an egg bursting open, allowing the Qi and blood to merge.
In this way, Qi and blood can more easily generate Qi, and Qi can also attach to the body surface to form a kind of internal circulation pattern. The body surface will also transform into a defensive membrane similar to the Golden Light Mantra.
"That's really crazy." He Xi shook her head upon seeing this scene, and activated her Eye of Insight to monitor Li Dao's situation in real time.
"Hmm? Physical fitness isn't improving, mental fluctuation frequency is decreasing? And vital signs are rapidly disappearing? Is this the process of 'embracing the elixir and sitting on the hips'?" He Xi murmured softly.
She spent several months on Earth, not only conducting research but also learning about Chinese culture and traditions.
Techniques such as martial arts, traditional Chinese medicine, Taoist scriptures, and Buddhism are all recorded in a secret database to facilitate the observation of Li Dao's situation, because what he has learned leans towards so-called metaphysics.
At this moment, Li Dao felt as if his dantian was on fire, condensing into a hard lump. Not only that, he also felt the Qi condensing like a fission nuclear bomb, just a hair's breadth away from exploding.
But this slight movement never triggered anything. Li Dao remained in a normal stance, his feet firmly planted in the ground like tree roots, unmoved by the slightest movement.
She appeared to be dead or asleep, with all her life force concentrated in the lower three inches of her abdomen, just like a woman pregnant with a baby.
Li Dao, on the other hand, is full of vitality!
