The Original Seeker

After completing a mind-blowing training, Bai Mo began to walk towards the hotel.

Lying on the big bed in the hotel room, he once again used the "All-Seeing Eye" to do a detailed scan of his body, and excitedly found that the degree of integration between his respiratory system and energy-absorbing skin was a little deeper than before the shallow diving training.

He roughly estimated that if he insisted on such training every day, then before returning from Hawaii, the two would be completely integrated and officially achieve the so-called "fetal breathing".

Although the principle seemed to be a little different from what he read in the novel, which was all about the mysterious "returning to the innate from the acquired", he has always been a pragmatist, seeking the purpose and not entangled in the process.

At least until now, what he really enjoys is the fun of exploration. Confirming the similarities and differences between the imaginary practice and the practice in the real world is much more interesting than tossing the relationship between people.

After lying on the bed for a while, he looked at the clock in the room. The clock pointed to 8:15, which was much later than the normal dinner time. He quickly took out the heating equipment and started to practice qi.

In the past, Bai Mo could only use his nose to absorb the light green aura into his body like smoking marijuana. Even with the energy-absorbing skin, he could not absorb it as if he could not sense the aura at all, as if the aura was not energy at all.

He had also proposed such a conjecture that the so-called aura absorbed on a daily basis was not a form of energy at all, nor was it a high-level energy, but a special substance, but he had never been able to perfect his conjecture because he could not explain what it would be if it was not energy.

Although this was a bit contrary to his three views as a person who had studied physics for many years, Bai Mo could only assume that aura was a high-level energy that humans could not analyze for the time being, but because his energy-absorbing skin was not of a high enough level, he could not sense it.

In countless fantasy novels, aura was considered to be a high-level energy of heaven and earth, but the physics textbook also told him that there was no so-called high-low level difference between the energy in the real world, only different forms of expression such as thermal energy and mechanical energy.

So after the energy-absorbing skin had the ability to absorb aura, Bai Mo began to test the relevant abilities.

Although he had done his best, because the degree of integration between the systems was not high and he lacked experience in breathing through the skin, only a very small amount of spiritual energy was absorbed into the body through the skin.

Under the observation of the "Omniscient Eye", the few strands of spiritual energy that were absorbed were completely absorbed after reaching the special tissue of the energy-absorbing skin, just like a few drops of water dripping into the desert.

What excited him again was that the small piece of tissue became a little more active after absorbing the spiritual energy.

With the perception accurate to the cellular level, Bai Mo roughly estimated that the working efficiency of a small piece of tissue nearby was probably 3 to 5 percentage points higher than that of the surrounding tissue.

This was a good start, at least the direction was right.

In the next few days, Bai Mo also completely regarded it as a vacation in Hawaii, not an inspection.

Every day, he either stayed in the hotel room to practice Qi, or went to the beach to practice breathing through the skin. Occasionally, he would go to the supermarket to buy a lot of food to deal with the hunger caused by practicing Qi.

It is much more difficult for a person who instinctively breathes through his nose to practice breathing through his skin than for a left-handed person to practice writing with his right hand.

But even though the results were minimal, he still persisted in practicing, increasing his proficiency bit by bit. People are such strange creatures, just like knowing that the effort of collecting Jingyefu is completely disproportionate to the few dollars earned, but still working tirelessly.

On the tenth day after arriving in Hawaii, he found that under his day and night training and the stimulation of spiritual energy, the combination speed of the two systems exceeded the expected speed and had merged into an organic whole, which was half a month earlier than he expected.

"There are still twenty days left. What should I do?" Bai Mo began to think. "In fact, there are only two choices... Either continue to stay at the hotel, or go to the foot of the volcano that the instructor mentioned to investigate."

"I still have 6 spiritual stones left in my hand. If I continue to stay at home, I can't support it for much longer. I'd better go to the foot of the volcano to collect some spiritual stones to meet the subsequent needs. According to the instructor, the stones at the foot of the volcano he marked are easy to pick up, and no one will pay attention to their black appearance, so there is no need to worry about someone getting there first."

For confidentiality, he directly asked the hotel staff to help rent a car, and then got a large backpack containing a full set of equipment for outdoor survival. Capitalist countries have this convenience. As long as there is a demand, all outdoor equipment will be prepared and delivered to you. The only problem is that it costs Bai Mo twice as much money...

Weighing the weight of the backpack, Bai Mo estimated that it was about 80 kilograms in total, including the experimental equipment. However, for his current physical fitness, carrying 80 kilograms is just like a normal person carrying 8 kilograms. The only problem may be that the large size may affect the activity a little.

After putting the experimental equipment into the bag, he threw the backpack into the passenger seat of the rented off-road vehicle. Because of the experience of eating and drinking after absorbing spiritual energy, in order to ensure that nothing embarrassing would happen, Bai Mo then had someone send enough supplies for a normal person to survive for two months, and stuffed them all into the back seat and the back of the car.

He knew that it was basically impossible to expect that he, who had no experience in hunting in the wild, would catch prey and eat like the protagonists in the fantasy novels he usually read when he had some problems in his training and became crazy hungry...

Even if his physical fitness was much higher than that of normal people, it was very difficult to hunt in the forest without experience and weapons. Animals could run away even if they couldn't fight...The forest had a great speed limit for unfamiliar people.

Bai Mo calculated and felt that all preparations were completed, so he started to head towards his destination.

The road he took was almost all quite desolate forest roads. He found that the closer he got to his destination, the higher the concentration of a familiar gas in the air. Halfway through the journey, Bai Mo stopped the car on the side of the road and got off to take a closer look.

"This is actually spiritual energy... Could it be that there is a spiritual stone mine under this crater?! Or is the crater connected to a cave paradise?" After Bai Mo realized that the thing with a gradually increasing concentration was spiritual energy, he began to rely on fantasy novels again.

After all, he is just a student who is addicted to novels. He just happens to like thinking, so he studies physics.

"It seems that the closer you get to the volcano, the more likely it is that dangerous animals will appear." Bai Mo knows very well that spiritual energy has a great role in promoting biological evolution, and he himself is the best example.

It is not surprising that spiritual beasts and demon beasts evolve in such a dense forest, and they generally have not evolved the intelligence to reason with people, and their minds are probably still completely governed by the law of the jungle.

Bai Mo got back in the car, took out a small amount of compressed biscuits from the backpack and stuffed them into his trouser pocket, and then put the saber and water bottle in the bag on his waist on the left and right, and got back in the car after being prepared for battle.

He held the steering wheel tightly, ready to encounter emergencies at any time.
