Reincarnated as an Energy with a System Chapter 49: Qi Condensation

"Alright, I'm leaving for a few hours. I will co back tonight, Okay?" Ning said to Hyesi.

"As you wish, Inikaka." Hyesi complied without question.

There were no bugs or animals on the island so Ning was pretty safe for now. He walked into the shrine that was his ho and sat down inside on the soft floor.

"Before I start anything, answer a few questions, System. First of all, do I use up energy from whatever I am doing right now with my body?" he asked.

"I see. What about absorbing energy? Do I absorb my body's energy?" he asked. He rembered all the horrible fates those wolves and birds had to face when he first unlocked Parasite Ability. He wondered if he was doing the sa thing right now as well.

"Oh," the answer had surprised Ning. "What about the extra energy I can get from foods and other stuff?" he asked.

'When I have no cap, huh. I guess I should start absorbing a little less than the cap so I can absorb extra energies,' he thought.

He then asked another question, "You said that my body will die if I don't host it previously, right?"

"That's kind of morbid. Is there any way to not have it die when I leave it?" he asked.

"Ah, yes. I can do that. I don't think I would have rembered that though. Thanks, system. Let's see, do I have any other questions?" he wondered. "I can't think of any right now. Whatever, I will ask it later if I think of it. For now, let's start cultivating."

"So, I start by trying to feel my first Qi, don't I?" he thought, rembering the information given to him through the basic cultivation knowledge. "I need to follow my cultivation thod and try to sense the Qi around , huh?"

He closed his eyes and pushed his human body's perception to the limited as he started to follow what the cultivation thod told him to do. Having a spiritual root, one could imdiately start using the cultivation thods without worries and that was exactly what he planned to do the mont he sensed any Qi. Without sensing Qi, however, it wouldn't work at all.

Ning ignored as much sense as he could to try and sense Qi. However, being an Energy, he could see and hear everything around him even when his eyes and ears were closed. So, he sat there for an hour, trying to feel the Qi and failing every ti.

He really didn't have any talent in cultivation. Thankfully, he had a spiritual root now that wouldn't stop him from climbing up the cultivation ladder even if it took him millions of years.

Finally, after a few more hours, he sensed Qi. It felt like a small speck of invisible light, only seen to his body, floating in the air. He slowly pulled at the Qi with his will and drew it to his body.

Once the Qi entered his body, he shuddered a little and then cald down imdiately afterward. He had now entered the Qi condensation realm and had started on the path of a cultivator.

Now that he had drawn in his first Qi, he could start using his cultivation thod. He took the Qi and started moving it around his body using the body to get it used to the Qi, while at the sa ti slowly pulling in more and more Qi from the environnt.

He was capped out for the day, so he pulled in as much Qi as he could by nightfall without worrying about stealing part of the Qi. Which wasn't really a lot, to begin with. He opened his eyes and finally stopped cultivating.

He started moving his fingers and felt sothing different. It was almost like he had more strength in him now than when he had started cultivating.

'Am I cultivating at a proper speed?' he wondered. He closed his eyes and tried to feel inside him once more and he did find Qi. He just didn't know how far he was into cultivation with this amount of Qi. He didn't even know if this little amount was good or bad.

'I should upgrade my cultivation knowledge as soon as possible,' he thought.

Now that it was night, he walked back to the village, but sothing weird happened. For one, he could feel a sort of nimbleness on his feet that wasn't there when he had arrived here. Also, through his body, he could swear that he could almost see the forest and tell apart the trees at night.

He looked into the sky and it was a cloudy night. And yet, he could see so silhouette of the trees. 'Are these the result of my cultivation?' he wondered. 'I wonder how well the body cultivation would work for ,' he thought.

Slowly, he made his way back to the village where the villagers had already set up a fire with so at cooking on top of it. When they saw him arrive, they imdiately called him to the center nearby the fire and gave him a giant piece of the at.

He looked at the food and saliva started filling his mouth. 'How long has it been since I've eaten anything?' he wondered. He hadn't even kept track of the ti, yet he could tell that it had been forever.

Without anymore thinking, he bit into the food, eating away the soft and juicy at right off of the bone. He tried to stop tears from forming in his eyes as he thought, 'I am so glad that I decided to beco a human again.'
