I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 741 A Nascent Soul Powerhouse Feels Slightly Frustrated

If we were to compare the current Awakened Ones on Blue Star to cultivators in Suzhou, they would at most be considered beginners in the Qi Refining stage. Their use of spiritual power is still based on what Su Mo recently developed, and they haven't conducted in-depth research.

They mostly rely on technological weapons in their battles. Although those weapons are also symbols of the development of Earth and use technologies such as compressed psionic energy, it is indeed a good idea that a new type of weapon can be used by ordinary people.

However, this rise and fall has indirectly led to a deviation in the path of the awakened. They are still cultivating and increasing their spiritual power, but they already have useful weapons in hand, and their spiritual power has gradually become a medium that makes it easier for them to control their weapons.

It was only after Su Mo returned from the Thunder Domain and released several mental martial arts techniques that the Awakened Ones truly saw another path.

The psionic environment of Blue Star is more than enough for Awakened Ones who are only equivalent to Qi Refining stage cultivators.

Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment are fine; they don't affect cultivation much. But if you're at the Golden Core stage, you won't be able to maintain smooth cultivation.

Although Su Mo said that she was still cultivating continuously, Yuan Qi did not doubt this, because Yuan Qi already knew that his disciple had some strange qualities, so it was not surprising that she could maintain her cultivation.

However, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he felt somewhat stifled here.

At his level, he wouldn't dare to cultivate, let alone use any advanced spells. If he made even a slight disturbance, he could drain the spiritual energy of an entire area.

Fortunately, his apprentice held a respectable position in their hometown, so there was no real need for him to intervene.

The biggest commotion was overseeing the alchemy.

He was already very proficient in making low-level pills, and could refine them anywhere if he knew how. But he couldn't refine higher-level pills without being inside the Teaching Tower, where the spiritual energy was sufficient to assist him in the refining process.

Yuan Qi, who embarked on the path of alchemy from the very beginning of his cultivation, was different from most alchemists in Suzhou. What he loved most was researching new alchemical formulas and improving old ones. This gave him an unparalleled sense of satisfaction, which could not be compared to any other pill he had refined.

Having been on Earth for over two years, Yuan Qi has discovered many unique plants that have greatly benefited his research. He has indeed devoted most of his time to these plants, and the remaining few have been assigned teaching duties.

So since arriving at the academy, Yuan Qi's time has been fully and clearly arranged, making a year here feel just like several years in Suzhou.

Even so, in his spare moments amidst his busy schedule, Yuan Qi would subconsciously want to cultivate; it was an instinct inherent to cultivators.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator who has crossed countless realm thresholds and whose lifespan has increased to three thousand suns and moons cannot completely stop cultivating.

Yuan Qi had been unable to cultivate for more than two years, and he inevitably felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

Ultimately, you can choose not to cultivate for the time being, but you cannot choose not to do it, otherwise no cultivator would not be anxious.

When Su Mo met Yuan Qi's slightly mournful gaze, he paused in his actions.

She thought she understood why Yuan Qi had rushed over so soon after she returned.

She then continued washing the tea leaves, boiling water, and brewing the tea, saying, "Master, please wait a moment. I will be going out next year at the latest. There will be many opportunities to search for the fragments of Suzhou. If we are lucky, we may be able to find a feng shui treasure land, and then Master can move there."

"Could a place like the Endless Thunder Domain meet Master's cultivation needs?"

Upon hearing the word "Thunder Domain," Yuan Qi was momentarily dazed, recalling his somewhat embarrassing past experiences.

He subconsciously said, "The Thunder Domain won't do. Although it's rich in spiritual energy, the environment with its chaotic lightning strikes that could fall at any moment is hardly a place to cultivate in peace."

Su Mo poured the brewed tea into a cup and handed it to Yuan Qi.

"Oh, so that means that kind of psionic environment is sufficient for Master's cultivation, right?"

Yuan Qi was slightly taken aback, then realized that Su Mo wanted him to provide a standard, not that she wanted him to return to the Thunder Domain to cultivate.

"No, something slightly inferior to the Thunder Domain is enough."

Thinking that his disciple was not a native human of Suzhou, he explained, "The forbidden lands of Suzhou are actually treasure lands. Apart from the fact that they are too dangerous, they are also excellent training grounds. However, it is precisely because there are too many uncontrollable dangers that many cultivators hesitate to go there."

"Otherwise, those places would be fiercely contested by major sects."

"I understand, Master. Please rest assured. I will try my best to find a suitable place."

Yuan Qi nodded. "Let's wait and see. What else can I do after my disciple has said that?"

After all, he didn't want to go out and travel around. Besides, studying alchemy was what he liked to do most, so he wanted to dedicate his time to this place.

As for finding a training ground for himself, he should leave that to his disciple.

Yuan Qi was in a better mood after receiving his apprentice's promise.

He changed the subject, saying, "By the way, I've also refined a few batches of pills recently, the same two types I showed you last time."

In order to familiarize himself with the refining methods of these two new pill formulas, Yuan Qi had already used up almost all the materials some time ago, and he only stopped when some materials were missing from the formulas.

This frequent refining allowed him to firmly grasp the two new pill formulas, so even though the materials were replenished later, he did not continue and thus obtained so much.

Yuan Qi placed a storage bag on the table.

"They're all in here."

"Thank you for your hard work, Master!" Su Mo happily accepted the storage bag.

It makes Yuan Qi happy that his achievements are needed and can also help his disciples cultivate.

I picked up the tea that had been poured for me and took a sip.

"The formula I'm currently working on still needs some adjustments."

"Once I've perfected it, you can take it back to your hometown to show off your achievements."

Su Mo was puzzled.

"Taking credit? Did Chairman Jiang and the others contact you?"

It was only when this was mentioned that Su Mo suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a thing. It seemed that Chairman Jiang had mentioned to her a long time ago that he wanted to invite Yuan Qi to participate in some project, but she had forgotten about it because she was busy with the pest control operation.

However, it now appears that Jiang Qizhang's people contacted Yuan Qi directly afterward, and they are now working on the project together.

Otherwise, Yuan Qi wouldn't be saying that now.

"What kind of elixir is it?" she asked curiously.

Yuan Qi put down his teacup and smiled.

"Used to improve physical condition."

The person who contacted him had a good plan. They immediately set a goal for him: to increase the overall lifespan of humans on Earth.
