The Homeless Man of Teyvat

"Of course."

Zhongli seemed a little surprised and said, "This is a fair deal. You naturally have the right to refuse."

Chen Tianfeng stared at Zhongli's eyes, trying to distinguish the truth from the false, but got nothing.

Thinking carefully, there is really nothing worthy of Zhongli's attention, let alone creating conditions for him to "wait for the rabbit". Even if he suddenly appeared in Liyue, could Zhongli still monitor all of Liyue at all times?

As for the fact that the Rock King Emperor suddenly became interested and glanced at Liyue while wandering in the mortal world, and happened to see himself traveling through time... This probability is even smaller than the brothers of Silver Wing suddenly coming to life and crying and shouting to recognize him as the boss.

So the respected Rock King Emperor didn't come for him?

Chen Tianfeng's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Mr. Zhongli, can I know what the reward is in advance?"

"A set of Qigong method."

Zhongli's tone was as calm as if he was talking about a cabbage. Looking at Chen Tianfeng who was stunned, he reminded: "My friend, the tea will get cold if you don't drink it now."

"...Oh oh."

Chen Tianfeng came back to his senses, picked up the teacup and drank it all in a panic. His face twitched again, and he spoke for a long time: "Qigong method? Mr. Zhongli, are you kidding?"

Liyue really has Qigong method? Then why don't so many people know it?

Chen Tianfeng was full of doubts.

"Because the Eye of God is more convenient."

Zhongli saw Chen Tianfeng's doubts and pretended not to notice his refusal. He picked up the teapot and poured him another cup of tea, explaining: "Although the Qigong method has been passed down in Liyue for a long time, there are still not many of them, and they attach great importance to talent and character, and they also need to practice hard to see results. After the appearance of the Eye of God, the method will naturally be neglected."

"Nowadays, there are only a few forces that still maintain the inheritance of the method."

The Qigong method pays attention to talent and character. Only those who meet these two points can get rewards, but most people who meet these two points can get the Eye of God.

As long as you get the Eye of God, you have the ability to guide elemental power.

At this time, you have to face a choice:

Is it to practice the method hard, polish yourself for a long time, and look forward to the qualitative change that will come at an unknown time; or choose to develop the Eye of God and take this relatively "low investment, quick results, and significant results" path?

It's not that no one has thought about going hand in hand and wanting both, but if you are not a true genius, who can do two things at the same time?

People's energy is always limited. Choosing to take both into account will often only result in mediocre results.

"But this is not right, right? No one can be sure when they will get the Eye of God. It is always better to practice the technique first. If it doesn't work, one main and one secondary can complement each other, right?" Chen Tianfeng asked in confusion.

"Indeed."

Zhongli nodded and said, "This is another disadvantage of the technique: the requirements are too high."

When people's wishes are too strong, they may attract the attention of the gods and obtain the [Eye of God].

Whether the Eye of God can be obtained depends on whether the wish is strong, and the technique not only requires the inheritor to have a tenacious mind, but also depends on whether the physical talent is compatible.

Under various circumstances, it is reasonable for the technique flow to fall into decline.

Chen Tianfeng roughly understood the situation.

Simply put, in Teyvat, developing the Eye of God is like practicing the technique, which is quick and powerful, with a variety of cool moves; while the technique flow is like tempering the body, which is not only hard, but also has no effect if the talent is not good.

People naturally know that one can beat two by tempering the body and practicing the law, but because of talent, age, resources and other reasons, they have to give up this dual cultivation path reluctantly.

"Has no one thought about changing?"

"Yes, but how to change and what the effect will be after the change is not something I can know."

Zhongli shook his head, looking like "I'm just an ordinary guest of the Wangsheng Hall."

Chen Tianfeng immediately understood that the old... vigorous Mr. Zhongli must know, but it is not convenient for him to know what he knows.

"What do you think, my friend?"

Zhongli asked, while urging Chen Tianfeng to drink tea with his eyes.

"···"

Chen Tianfeng drank it all again, playing with the cup, unwilling to put it down: "I have another question, I hope Mr. Zhongli can answer it."

"Excuse me."

"The Qigong method is a precious thing that ordinary people can't get, even if it is compared with the Eye of God, right?"

"Yes."

"Then why did Mr. Zhongli give me the method? It's not worth such a high reward for just one night of care?"

"From a universal point of view, it is true."

"Then why...?"

"Because the little friend has a self-generated Qi in his body, he is a rare Qigong genius."

Zhongli's eyes are serious, and his expression does not seem fake: "Even if ordinary people practice hard since childhood, , and it is impossible to reach this level at your age. It just so happened that I found a Qigong method a few days ago, and I happened to meet you, this is God's will. "

"Qi is self-generated?" Chen Tianfeng ignored Zhongli's last fake words, aiming at the key words: "What does this mean? Can Mr. Zhongli explain it?"

"Generally speaking, the inheritors of the sect are exposed to the method and practiced since childhood. The talented ones will enter a mysterious state in about three to five years. After another three years, a wisp of [Qi] will appear in the body, and it will flow and run in the body following the method. Day after day, year after year, [Qi] becomes stronger and stronger, and the inheritors become stronger. "

"My little friend is different. The Qi in the body is generated by itself and circulates on its own without being guided by the exercises. The total amount of [Qi] is even more astonishing. It is more than what others have put in for years or even ten years of hard work."

Seeing that Chen Tianfeng was listening seriously, Zhong Li subconsciously put down the tea cup in his hand, so he naturally picked up the teapot and poured him another cup: "Is my strength stronger than that of ordinary people, and my recovery ability stronger?"

"Well, sir, you have good eyesight."

The corners of Chen Tianfeng's eyes twitched invisibly, looking at the refilled tea cup, he made a pun.

"This is the effect of [Qi]." Zhongli smiled.

"What is [炁]?"

"A kind of energy that wanders between heaven and earth. In essence, there is no difference between [Qi] and [Elemental Power]. It's just that the latter has different characteristics without being guided by living beings, while the former will be differentiated by the characteristics of the guide. produce corresponding changes.”

"So [Qi] is also [Elemental Power]?"

"Of course not, it's just essentially the same."

Zhongli thought for a while and said: "The elements rise and become crystal butterflies, and the elements that sink become slimes. There are differences between slimes and crystal butterflies, and the difference between [Qi] and [Elemental Power] is even greater than the first two. . Although they have the same origin, they are already two different things."

"I generally understand."

With a solemn expression, Chen Tianfeng drank the tea again, stood up with the teacup, and said solemnly: "Sir, Mr. Chen has passed on your great kindness, and I will never forget it! If Mr. has any missions from now on, I will do my best to help you. If you violate this, you will be punished." Such a cup!”

After he said that, he slammed the cup down and broke it into pieces.

This tea was not only bitter but bitter, he didn’t want to drink it at all!

To be honest, at the moment when he broke the tea cup, Chen Tianfeng felt extremely happy.

"My dear friend, you are serious. You will guard me for one night and I will give you the skills. This is a fair transaction."

Zhong Li smiled lightly, took out another teacup under Chen Tianfeng's dull gaze, filled it with tea, and pushed it towards him: "Little friend, please drink tea."

Chen Tianfeng: "...Ah, thank you."
