The strongest talent

After communicating with Zhinao for a while, Yuan Qing calmed down his excitement and returned to the cabin next door.

Qiqi ate less than half of the snacks, and put the remaining packaging bags and milk bottles into the trash can. She lay on the bed holding the snack bags, with two healthy blushes on her face, and she fell asleep peacefully. The breath is very sweet.

"Qiqi, what kind of family background do you have? Do you know that there are many people chasing you outside?" Yuan Qing sighed softly in his heart, pulled a quilt and gently covered Qiqi.

If Qiqi felt something in her sleep, she curled up slightly, stretched her arms and legs, turned over and continued to sleep.

"Qiqi is asleep. It's much easier to get things from the laboratory." Yuan Qing took off his combat boots, sat cross-legged next to Qiqi, took out a third-order beast crystal from the laboratory, pinched it with two fingers, and moved it to Take a look inside.

The beast crystal in Yuan Qing's hand was translucent brown, with a faint shadow of an evil bird in it. He found it from the head of a third-level peak flamingo while wandering through the dangerous area. Now entering the fourth level, cultivation is inseparable from this thing. It must absorb the life essence in it and build a psychic bridge in the body.

"Start practicing." Yuan Qing put the beast crystal in the palm of his hand, took a deep breath, and his heart immediately accelerated. A stream of rich spiritual energy was transmitted to the palm of his hand, wrapping the life essence in the beast crystal, and concentrated it quickly towards the heart. As soon as this action was carried out, the flamingo shadow in the beast crystal immediately became restless, screaming silently, and struggling desperately.

Yuan Qing ignored the flamingo shadow at all, closed his eyes tightly, and the silvery-white spiritual energy wrapped the life essence into his heart. The emerald green light spots concentrated quickly, forming a pinpoint-sized ball shape deep in the heart, and then As the life essence continues to increase, the size of the ball is also gradually increasing.

Click!

In just half a minute, the beast crystal in Yuan Qing's palm shattered and turned into a small pile of brown powder, and the flamingo shadow in it had long since disappeared, turning into extremely pure life essence, which entered Yuan Qing's body. heart. However, the emerald green ball condensed in it is not much bigger than the tip of a needle, and is no bigger than a sesame seed.

"No way!" Yuan Qing's eyes widened.

The emerald green ball in the heart is called the "spiritual bridge node" by the evolvers. Generally, a spiritual warrior who has just entered the fourth level can form a spiritual bridge node in the heart by absorbing a third-level beast crystal. It can be bigger or smaller, but this is the so-called foundation. The best result is to fill the whole heart with emerald green, integrate it with the spiritual energy in the body, and greatly enhance the life strength.

Finger belly, sesame, this gap is too big!

"Lao Hei took the potion and became the middle stage of the fourth level. The spiritual bridge is almost built. Why is it so difficult for me to enter the fourth level of cultivation?" Yuan Qing shook his head and was a little envious of Lao Hei. That guy didn't practice much. Taking drugs can make you stronger faster than riding a rocket - the key is that the drugs Lao Hei took were given by Zhinao, so why didn't he get this treatment?

In my mind, Zhinao's voice rang out in time: "Yuan Qing, you have to know that now your chest, back, right arm, and left leg have all achieved psychic union, and your body can hold more psychic energy than an ordinary four There are many more level spirit warriors, and the total energy of the body is also greater... Follow the steps and practice slowly, this is what the heir of Wuyuan Star Civilization should do. I will naturally remind you when you can use potions, and now please continue to practice."

"There are more than forty beast crystals in total, and there are only five third-level ones. Most of them are first-level ones, and there are some second-level ones." Yuan Qing silently thought about how to be disappointed: "I want to completely cultivate my heart into a spiritual bridge node. , this little bit of beast crystal is simply not enough.”

If you don't have enough beast crystals, you can only meditate and train your body. Through these two methods, you can increase the spiritual energy in your body, and then gather it at the Spirit Bridge node to slowly increase it. But in this way, the speed of practice is very slow, which is what the evolutionists jokingly call "goofing around."

In less than half an hour, a total of forty-seven beast crystals were absorbed. The Spirit Bridge node in the heart was only half the tip of the little finger, like a green emerald, exuding extremely powerful vitality.

"From now on, practice meditation every day. If you have the black hole talent, the mental power of meditation will naturally be converted into spiritual energy." Zhinao reminded: "Yuan Qing, when meditating, you must pay attention to using the spiritual sword in your mind, and also absorb With part of the mental power, the power of the sword will continue to increase."

Yuan Qing sighed in his heart.

The mental power gained through hard meditation has to be divided into two parts. As a result, the speed of cultivation is even slower.

"I do have money. If I am short of money, I can fuse new potions and sell them for money. The beast crystals are already scarce and no one is willing to sell them." Yuan Qing thought for a while and then turned to look at Qiqi, who was sleeping soundly.

Her father can have something like a "space storage", and his status must be very great. When the time comes, he will be severely punished. If such a cute daughter is not taken care of, what if she really loses it? She has already lost it. , don’t hit him too hard, one hundred third-order beast crystals, or two hundred, well, five hundred should be able to come out.

Looking at Qiqi and seeing the bag of snacks that she refused to let go of even when she was sleeping, Yuan Qing's stomach started to ring, and she felt a little hungry.

"I remember that the merchant ship was equipped with a catering service. Someone was chasing Qiqi, so I tried not to go out when eating." Yuan Qing thought for a while, took out the pale gold card from the pocket of his combat uniform, raised his smart watch, and dialed them Contact number: "Hello, I'm in Room 65 on the second floor. Please bring some food and drinks... Yes, for two people, I want the characteristics of your merchant ship."

Not long after, a metal dining cart was pushed to the door of the room; Yuan Qing turned around, stretched out his hand to pull the corner of the quilt, covering Qiqi's face, then opened the hatch and welcomed the food delivery boy in.

The delivery boy was an ordinary-looking young girl who looked to be in her early twenties. She took out six lunch boxes and sent them to the room. She smiled politely and said: "Sir, after you finish eating, put the lunch boxes on the metal rack at the door. Just go up and I’ll come get it later.”

"Yes." Yuan Qing nodded politely, sent the young girl away, and immediately began to meditate and practice after finishing the fast food.

————————

One day, two days, three days...

The merchant ship sailed on the vast sea, changed direction midway, went more than 800 nautical miles into the ocean, and exchanged goods with several other merchant ships. I also stopped at several survival bases along the coast, and guests were constantly getting on and off the ship. Although the terminal port is located at the Anping base, the straight-line voyage does not exceed 400 nautical miles, which is equivalent to about 750 kilometers. In fact, the merchant ship has been sailing at sea for more than a week and is still far away from Anping.

For eight days, Yuan Qing only took Qiqi out three times. Each time he only stayed on the deck for a while, and Qiqi's face was covered with a strip of cloth, very cautiously. In addition to resting, sleeping, and going to the toilet, I basically spend the rest of my time meditating in my room.

Compared with eight days ago, the psychic energy node in the heart is only a small circle larger, and it can't even be found without careful perception.

"Qiqi, we're going back." On the deck, Yuan Qing consoled her earnestly: "The wind on the sea is too strong, your face will be cracked, let's go back to the room, and I will buy you snacks."

This little girl of five or six years old had long been suffocating in the room, with a face full of grievances: "Brother, the weather is warmer now, not cold, and I am not afraid of the cold. Let's play on the deck for a while, okay? Look, there are sea beasts in the water over there, they’re so cute.”

The sea beast Qiqi is talking about is the second-level mutated beast "Silver-finned Dolphin" in the sea water around the merchant ship. Although it mutated during the cataclysm, its appearance has basically remained unchanged. It is also gentle in nature and rarely attacks humans. There is a silver-white dorsal fin that reflects the sunlight and is very beautiful.

"Hey!" Yuan Qing sighed slightly.

Although Qiqi is smart and sensible, she is still too young and playful. After finally taking her out for a trip, she didn't want to go back to the room unless it got dark. However, there were so many people on the deck, all from all over the world, and it was a mixed bag. It was really unsafe for Qiqi.

"Qiqi, be obedient." Yuan Qing picked up Qiqi, put it on his shoulder, bought a woolen huggable bear from the trading hall on the first floor, and walked to the cabin on the second floor.

With the huggable bear, Qiqi finally became quieter and stopped making noises to go to the deck.

On the deck, there were still many people sunbathing, and some were watching the gentle sea animals in the sea, taking pictures with their smart watches. In the crowd, the blue-eyed woman who had bought the boat ticket with Yuan Qing watched Yuan Qing take Qiqi away and frowned slightly.

Her intuition told her that there was something wrong with the young man living across from her cabin.

This merchant ship is not small in scale, with ordinary cabins on the second floor, economy cabins on the third floor, a comprehensive entertainment center on the fourth floor, luxury cabins on the fifth floor, and VIP cabins on the sixth floor, housing all kinds of passengers. However, whether they are ordinary people in ordinary cabins or evolved people living in high-end cabins, they will all gather on the fourth floor.

There are bars, billiards halls, arcades, bathing centers, and even red light places that provide special services. People who have experienced a catastrophe have a very open-minded view of life. Most people like to enjoy themselves immediately and squander their money and time.

Whether it is an ordinary small bar on the second floor or the comprehensive entertainment center on the fourth floor, the young man with his child opposite has never been there once. Although he lives opposite, he has almost never met him. He lives in seclusion. Absolutely outrageous!

That is to say, when he took the little girl to play on the deck, he saw her once or twice from a distance. Each time he only played for a short time and returned to the cabin quickly.

"Is he an ascetic who practices hard, or does he have some ulterior secret?" The blue-eyed woman frowned. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Yuan Qing was very suspicious. It seemed that he had made some decision, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up. ,

In the other corner of the deck, a middle-aged woman "Shu Fen" stood together with a thin young man wearing a brown leather jacket. She lowered her voice and said: "Wang Huan, that's the little girl I told you about. Don't you think she's pretty? Then The young man took her too seriously and had no chance to take action."

"With a piece of cloth covering my nose and mouth, how do I know if I'm pretty or not?" The young man codenamed "Wasp" snorted coldly: "Sister Fen, you can sting yourself here, I'm going to the bar to drink. Can you turn around? Of course, if you can’t abduct me, don’t bother me!”

After saying that, the hornet turned around and left, not giving Shufen a good look at all.

"No matter how I look at it, I think that little girl must be beautiful." Shufen looked up to the second floor and said to herself, her voice a bit sinister: "Beautiful dolls can be sold for a lot of money, don't let me find the opportunity. Otherwise, I will turn it over for you!"
