Chapter 1247

Su Xiao: "That does seem to be the case. But why does Teacher Qiyu look not very smart?"

Qiyu: "I feel my intelligence is being challenged!"

Hu Yifei: "Laughable—Teacher Qiyu just has no emotions; how did that turn into 'not smart' in your mouth?"

Anlieta: "Probably because thinking consumes too much energy. Teacher Qiyu is already so strong—he can accomplish anything he wants, so he doesn't need to think much anymore."

Xiao Mai: "No, Teacher Qiyu can't swat mosquitoes! 【-evil grin】"

Qiyu:

Zhang Taixuan: "It's not that Qiyu doesn't need to think—it's that his soul and body are constantly evolving, never fully awakened."

Su Xiao: "Is his soul perpetually in a state of transformation? I think I get it. But Brother Taixuan, you said Qiyu's essence, qi, and spirit are all evolving—then is his qi evolving too?"

I remember Qiyu never cultivated any qi-related technique, right?"

Hu Yifei: "Su Xiao, the 'qi' in essence-qi-spirit doesn't refer to true qi—it's the primordial qi and kidney qi. Primordial qi circulates with blood, called blood-qi, which is not the same as what you mean."

Su Xiao: "Oh, is that so? Hehe, I thought 'qi' meant something else!"

Zhu Zhu: "Insane, Su Xiao—you're nearly a Jin Xian, yet you still make basic mistakes? Do you just slack off and never read books?"

Lin Daiyu: "That's very likely. I know she loves slacking off."

Asuna: "I can confirm Lin Meimei is right."

Su Xiao: "Hmph, it's fine—I've got everyone else reading for me. Reading is so tiring."

Qiyu: "Just now you called me dumb—you're the one who's clueless!"

Qi Yu: "Just now you said I was clueless, but it's clearly you who's clueless!"

Su Xiao: "Brother Taixuan, what's Qiyu's limit? Even if essence, qi, and spirit reach perfection and transform to their peak, he still can't become an immortal, right? No matter how strong his body gets, if he doesn't touch the laws, there's still a limit."

Su Xiao: "Brother Taixuan, what's Qi Yu's upper limit? Even if essence, energy, and spirit are perfected and pushed to their extreme, they still can't become an immortal, right? No matter how strong the body becomes, without touching the laws, there's still a limit."

Xiao Mai: "Su Xiao's avoiding everyone's questions again."

Zhang Taixuan: "Could the limiter be an embodiment of the body's laws?"

Su Xiao: "Body laws? So does that mean Qiyu, if he transforms to his limit, could prove the Dao through sheer force?"

Zhang Taixuan: "It depends on the world. In his world, proving the Dao through force is still easy. In a top-tier great realm, it's hard. In the highest worlds, laws are tightly bound, and the strong are countless—proving the Dao through force is far too difficult."

Su Xiao: "Good thing Teacher Qiyu isn't in a top-tier great realm—otherwise he'd be screwed."

Zhang Taixuan: "No. Even in the top world, he wouldn't be screwed."

Su Xiao: "But if he can't prove the Dao, how isn't he screwed?"

Zhang Taixuan: "When the limiter opens, essence, qi, and spirit transform; the body grows stronger, more suited for cultivation; the soul strengthens; wisdom and comprehension rise; primordial qi intensifies; and cultivating techniques becomes easier. This kind of talent is the foundation of a top-tier powerhouse—even without walking the path of proving the Dao through force."

Zhang Taixuan: "Put it this way: once someone opens the limiter, it's like a growing version of Sun Wukong. In a mortal body, after decades of transformation, he gains the same cultivation as Sun Wukong absorbing spiritual energy for countless years—you can imagine how powerful this cheat is."

Su Xiao: "No way? So Teacher Qiyu's got a cheat too?"

Zhang Taixuan: "When the limiter is opened, essence, energy, and spirit will transform; the body will grow stronger and more suited for cultivation; the soul will strengthen, wisdom and comprehension will rise, primordial energy will grow, and cultivation will accelerate."

Ye Hei: "What else? How could an ordinary person grow that strong in just a few years?"

Qiyu: "I didn't cheat! Everything I am today is thanks to my own hard work!"

Su Xiao: "That feeling is so familiar."

Hu Yifei: "Blue, add points!"

Xiao Mai: "Haha… Teacher Qiyu is actually funny."

Han Paopao: "Could it be that Teacher Qiyu isn't being funny—he genuinely believes that?"

Qiyu: "My training is brutal."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your training is insane, but compare your strength. Even if others trained like you for a hundred years, they'd never reach your level."

Hu Yifei: "Deep Blue, allocate points!"

Su Xiao: "Brother Taixuan, I want to open the limiter!"

Xiao Mai: "You want everything! Be careful—you get stronger and also get hairier!"

Su Xiao: "Eek! Then I don't want it! I don't want to go bald—I won't be a beautiful girl anymore!"

Qiyu: "Do others who open the limiter also go bald?"

...... Begging for flowers.

Zhang Taixuan: "The reason baldness occurs when the limiter opens is simply because energy is insufficient—all energy is channeled into transforming essence, qi, and spirit, leaving no surplus for trivial things like hair."

Wang Chao: "My Lord, I have a question—hair growth doesn't consume much energy, right? If the limiter's already open, why be stingy with this little energy?"

Zhang Taixuan: "For an ordinary person, hair growth consumes negligible energy. But is Qiyu ordinary? In xianxia worlds, a single strand of a strong cultivator's hair can slice through stars—how much energy would such hair growth require? Qiyu isn't that extreme, but if he were to grow hair, the energy cost would still be substantial."

Zhang Taixuan: "For Qiyu to grow hair, his body must first nearly complete its transformation, then use energy to stimulate hair growth—or he must directly cultivate a technique to absorb sufficient energy and accelerate his body's evolution."

Qiyu: "Can a technique make me grow hair?"

Zhang Taixuan: "The reason for going bald when the limiter is opened is simply insufficient energy—all energy is channeled into transforming essence, energy, and spirit, leaving hair, a trivial detail, neglected."

Qiyu: "Then I'll buy one! My Lord, please lend me some points—I'll pay you back soon!"

Su Xiao: "Teacher Qiyu really cares about his hair!"

Zhang Taixuan: "For an ordinary person, hair growth naturally consumes little energy. But is Qiyu ordinary? In a fantasy world, a powerful cultivator's single strand of hair can slice through stars."

"How much energy would such hair growth consume? Qiyu may not be that terrifying, but if he were to grow hair, the energy cost would still be substantial."

Zhang Taixuan: "For Qiyu to grow hair, his body must first undergo nearly complete transformation, only then will it expend energy to stimulate hair growth. Or, he could directly cultivate a technique to absorb sufficient energy and accelerate his body's transformation."

Qiyu: "Can a technique make my hair grow?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Indeed, it can."

Qiyu: "Then I'll buy one! My lord, lend me some points—I'll repay you soon!"

Su Xiao: "Teacher Qiyu really cares about his hair!"

Su Xiao: "Teacher Qiuyu really values her hair!"

Qi Yu: "You don't understand!"

Hu Yifei: "Haha, before Qi Yu lost his hair, he was still a handsome man. Now he's bald, clueless, and his whole aesthetic has changed."

Xiao Mai: "Indeed."

Zhang Taixuan: "【Red Envelope】 Borrowed it from you—just buy any book you like."

Qi Yu: "Thank you, Dao Jun!"

Su Xiao: "By the way, Brother Taixuan, why is Qi Yu's world so chaotic? All sorts of weird people keep appearing—it's like the world is about to end."

Long Wang: "It's not like it—his world really is facing apocalypse."

Su Xiao: "??? That serious?!"

Long Wang: "Deep-sea monsters, vaccine people... these things can't be explained away with just 'mutation.'"

Xiao Mai: "Not ordinary mutation? Could some force be secretly evolving these monsters?!"
