I Have Medicine Chapter Ch231 - The Realms of Psychic Power

Chapter Ch231 - The Realms of Psychic Power

The first realm was called the Qi Psyche Realm.

In other words, for basically every pharmacist, when one’s psychic power wasn’t tempered yet, their initial realm would be within this realm.

And in this realm, the psychic powers of all pharmacists were smoke-like and would only be able to pa.s.sively defend. Even if the amount was very large, it would be very difficult to accomplish anything.

Take, for example, pharmacists like Xu Lingxiu who didn’t have a cultivation method. The psychic power within their Tianfu Acupoints would keep increasing. When it reached the limit that the Tianfu Acupoint could accommodate, the smoke-like psychic power would liquify bit by bit. After this liquefaction also reached the limit, it would slowly become gelatinous.

And through Gu Zuo’s cultivation and the use of the ever deepening layers of the <>, he could attain this process without a hitch. Even when his Tianfu Acupoint wasn’t completely filled, this also allowed him to have more offensive and defensive capabilities compared to the vast majority of pharmacists.

At this time, the second realm was also clear and easy to see.

It was called the Coalescing Psyche Realm.

As the name implied, under the effects of the <>, the smoke-like psychic power would form a vortex during a continual forging process. And in the center of the vortex was that gelatinous psychic power.

Once a vortex was generated and when even a bit of gelatinous psychic power was generated, one would already have reached the second realm. Afterwards, throughout the entire realm, the gelatinous psychic power would constantly increase and the vortex would progressively spread to the entire Tianfu Acupoint. A steady flow of smoke-like psychic power would be drawn over, and would flow to the center of the gelatinous psychic power.

As for the third realm, it was called the Core Psyche Realm.

Gu Zuo wasn’t aware of this before, but he quickly understood it now.

The second realm would reach its limit when the center of the gelatinous psychic power continuously enlarged, squeezing the vortex to near-nonexistence. At that time, under the effects of the <>, that gelatinous psychic power would be compressed. At the same time, the vortex would slowly reappear and cause the gelatinous psychic power to form a perfectly round shape. The round ma.s.s of gelatinous psychic power would become st.u.r.dier and more compacted until it reached a point where there was no way to compress it further. When it formed a pearl, this was the Core Psyche Realm.

In the Core Psyche Realm, the pearl at the absolute center was solid, and the vortex would be comprised entirely of gelatinous psychic power. Even the psychic power produced in the Tianfu Acupoint would also be gelatinous in nature. From this moment on, smoke-like psychic power wouldn’t emerge.

However, whether there were still other realms above the Core Psyche Ream, there weren’t any detailed records in the <>.

From this, it could be seen that pharmacists who didn’t cultivate their psychic powers could only reach the second realm at most. Moreover, this purely depended on acc.u.mulation. Their psychic powers wouldn’t actually be sufficiently keen or practical enough to use. It would even be very sluggish and blunt. In addition, perhaps they wouldn’t be able to move even a single step forwards. Let alone mentioning the third realm; they might forever be unable to achieve the second realm’s completion.

When he read this, Gu Zuo’s interest greatly increased.

According to his understanding, <> was equivalent to a martial artist’s inner cultivation method, and psychic power was equivalent to a martial artist’s true qi. Meanwhile, <> and <> were cla.s.sified as martial skills. As for the newly-added <>, after a cursory glance, it was a method on how to utilize psychic power, and should’ve also been equivalent to a martial skill.

One could say that this <> opened up another path for pharmacists. It made Gu Zuo suddenly understand that pharmacists really didn’t only have the role of medicine refinement. In fact, they were cla.s.sified as people with another system of cultivation unlike that of martial artists! It was just that martial artists practiced martial arts, while they tempered psychic powers!

Gu Zuo was momentarily overwhelmed with emotions.

At this time, the things that he only guessed about in the past had become reality.

How couldn’t this make a person excited?

As such, there was one more problem that hadn’t been resolved yet.

In Qingyun Sect, pharmacists basically didn’t have this kind of power. In the end, was this because only pharmacists at a higher level could touch upon this subject, or had no one here discovered this path?

But whatever the case, Gu Zuo had finally determined that it wasn’t due to his own const.i.tution being special that he could temper his psychic power. Rather, all pharmacists in this world were capable of doing the same. Otherwise, <> wouldn’t have had that kind of rigorous set up, right?

Gu Zuo hoped that he himself could have even stronger self-defensive power.

As a result, he, who was currently at the second realm, urgently longed to rapidly break through to the third realm of psychic power. As for a pharmacist’s psychic realms, they probably weren’t closely linked to the true qi realms.

Gongyi Tianheng also quickly understood the issues with the pharmacist system.

Gu Zuo hesitated a little bit: “Big brother, pharmacists are capable of tempering psychic powers. Would martial artists be able to do this, too?”

According to reason, the Tianfu Acupoints in pharmacists and martial artists were the same. And all Tianfu Acupoints could hold psychic power. If pharmacists were capable of accomplis.h.i.+ng this, then couldn’t martial artists do the same?

Tianheng slightly muttered: “The cultivation method which Ah Zuo practices requires medicinal qi to strengthen the psychic power. Through constant tempering, it’ll let one’s own psychic power reach that realm. As for us martial artists, we can’t absorb medicinal qi. Thus, there’s no way to conduct any tempering according to that type of cultivation method. Even if it was an ordinary pharmacist, the improvement of their psychic power would be no more than the refining of pills over many years. Their own slow acc.u.mulation wouldn’t be as easy as Ah Zuo’s.”

Gu Zuo was somewhat disappointed.

If his big brother could use it, then it would’ve been another trump card…

But very quickly, Gu Zuo roused himself: “In that case, can big brother find any inspiration from this, and come up with something of your own?”

The Tiandu Body’s IQ was so powerful. In the past, the body cultivation method that his big brother practiced was of his own design. As such, according to <>, could he establish a new path for martial artists?

Tianheng broke into laughter: “On psychic powers, martial artists fall far short of pharmacists. When my realm is even higher, I’ll give it a try. But for now, I first need to raise my true qi realm.”

Gu Zuo thought that this was reasonable, and said with embarra.s.sment: “Sorry, big brother. I’m being impulsive…”

Tianheng’s tone was gentle: “Any care or concern that Ah Zuo shows will be received by your elder brother.”

Gu Zuo’s face warmed up slightly. He squeezed into the medicine refining palace hall, and continued refining medicine.

Furthermore, he also wanted to figure out what was going on with that <>…

Thanks for the correction, Charysa.
