Chapter 771: Air

Although the final result was good,

and the gloves made of Obsidian Tree leaves were very effective, not causing Qin Feng the slightest harm,

that did not mean his actions were reliable.

If it were anyone else, even if they weren't a cultivator but an ordinary person, they wouldn't have been more impatient than Qin Feng.

Not only did Lin An think so, but the black-robed person also felt that Qin Feng was far too reckless.

In fact, the black-robed person had intended to try it himself first.

But he wouldn't have used his own hand to do the testing.

Instead, he planned to put the glove on something else to touch the plants here.

Only after confirming there was no danger would he try it with his hand.

"I think you two are being overly cautious."

"Although the plants here look completely red, as if the temperature is extremely high and they are highly dangerous,"

"do you think the temperature of the air and the ground here is low?"

"We are still walking on the ground and breathing the air here, aren't we?"

Qin Feng couldn't exactly say he had checked with the System and felt it was safe before doing so.

So he just made up an excuse.

However, as he kept talking, even Qin Feng felt something was wrong with this excuse.

"Wait, why haven't our internal organs and lungs been burned away?"

"Could it be that the role of these leaves isn't to protect us from high-temperature damage,"

"but rather that they lower the temperature of everything around us, which is why we haven't been harmed by the heat?"

Qin Feng suddenly frowned and began to think.

Previously, they had fallen into a misconception, thinking the leaves were insulating the damage.

But in fact, thinking about it, that seemed impossible.

After all, they weren't wrapped entirely in these leaves; there would always be gaps.

Through the gaps, why hadn't the high heat harmed them?

Therefore, the Obsidian Tree leaves being able to lower the surrounding temperature was the only logical explanation.

However, while Qin Feng was here making his own deductions,

Lin An and the black-robed person were looking at each other, completely bewildered, not knowing what Qin Feng was talking about.

Or rather, they had started to feel bewildered from the moment Qin Feng mentioned air.

"What is air? Why would it harm the lungs?"

Lin An, who was more familiar with Qin Feng, raised the question.

……

Lin An's question left Qin Feng stunned for a moment.

Could it be that people in this world didn't know what air was?

Then what were they breathing into their lungs every day?

Now, not only were Lin An and the black-robed person bewildered, but Qin Feng himself felt a bit bewildered too.

Only his bewilderment was regarding the cognition of the people in this world.

"Then what do you usually breathe?"

Qin Feng asked in return.

He even wondered if the people here didn't even know what breathing was.

That would make communication completely impossible.

However, he figured that shouldn't be the case.

This world had been developing for at least hundreds or thousands of years by now.

And he felt it might have been even longer.

After all, this was an era that possessed cultivators.

Perhaps the civilization of this era had persisted for tens of thousands of years, who knew.

In such a long time,

had no one ever wondered why people could stay alive?

Why people could suffocate?

If that were truly the case, it would be too fake.

It would make Qin Feng doubt whether he had arrived in a truly existing world.

"What we breathe, isn't it the Tong Yuan Qi between heaven and earth?"

"Drawing Tong Yuan Qi into the body, letting it flow through the limbs and bones, and then exhaling it—this is the most basic thing for an ordinary person to stay alive."

"It's just that ordinary people cannot sense Tong Yuan Qi."

"So they can only unconsciously draw the thin Tong Yuan Qi into their bodies and exhale it."

"Unable to let the Tong Yuan Qi stay in the body, they have no way to cultivate."

"While cultivators possess the ability to sense this Tong Yuan Qi between heaven and earth,"

"and possess the ability to absorb and lock the sensed heaven and earth Tong Yuan Qi into their dantian."

To Qin Feng's counter-question, the black-robed person was even more bewildered.

But Lin An reacted immediately.

Combining it with her previous guesses about Qin Feng,

the strangeness of Qin Feng's words at this moment was not hard to understand.

After all, in her eyes, Qin Feng was someone from outside the cage.

It was only natural that people from outside the cage were different from those inside, wasn't it?

It was precisely because of this that Lin An felt Qin Feng might not know these basic situations here,

which was why he had explained it in such detail.

"So you think we breathe air? What is air?"

Lin An explained the world's understanding of breathing to Qin Feng in such a receptive manner. ===== CHAPTER 773 =====
