Chapter 14: Kung Fu and God's Eye

"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. "

"You are different, your body is full of Qi, flowing without any guidance from the exercises, and the total amount of [Qi] is amazing, which is equivalent to the hard work of others for several years or even more than ten years."

Zhongli saw that Chen Tianfeng was listening seriously, and subconsciously put down the teacup in his hand, so he naturally picked up the teapot and poured him another cup: "Your strength is greater than that of ordinary people, and your recovery ability is also stronger?"

"Yes, sir, you have good eyesight."

Chen Tianfeng's eyes twitched slightly, looking at the refilled teacup, and said a double entendre.

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

"What is [Qi]?"

"A kind of energy that floats between heaven and earth. In essence, [Qi] and [elemental force] are no different, but the latter has differentiated characteristics without the guidance of living beings, while the former will change accordingly due to the characteristics of the guide."

"So [Qi] is also [elemental force]?"

"Of course not, they are just the same in essence."

Zhongli thought for a while and said, "The element rises to become a crystal butterfly, and sinks to become a slime. There is still a difference between slime and crystal butterfly, but the difference between [Qi] and [elemental force] is even greater than the former two. Although they are of the same origin, they are already two different things."

"I roughly understand."

Chen Tianfeng's expression was solemn. He drank the tea again. He stood up with the teacup and said solemnly: "Mr. Chen will never forget the great kindness of passing on his skills! In the future, if you have any orders, I will do my best to help. If you violate this, I will drink this cup!"

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

This broken tea was bitter and bitter. He didn't want to drink it at all!

To be honest, Chen Tianfeng felt very happy when he smashed the teacup.

"My friend, you are too kind. You guard me for one night, and I give you the skills. It is a fair trade."

Zhongli smiled faintly, took out another teacup in front of Chen Tianfeng's dull eyes, filled it with tea, and pushed it to him: "My friend, please have some tea."

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