"One percent? That's impossible, right? After all this time," a guide asked in disbelief.
Looking at the way the energy condensate absorbed Ji Jiayu's blood just now, it seemed like it was only one percent of its initial compatibility?
It's worth noting that in addition to conclusions drawn from mental perception, the amount of blood absorbed by the energy condensate is also one of the criteria for assessing initial compatibility.
"I don't think that's possible either."
"Do you want to test it again?"
"It must be tested again."
"Yes, yes, but wait for now, otherwise the blood in his body will be sucked out..." After the many guides finished speaking, Wang Yinlan also regained her senses. After thinking it over, she decided, "Then in a few days, when Ji Jiayu recovers, I'll take him for another test."
"What if the compatibility is still one percent then?" a guide asked coldly.
Wang Yinlan replied without hesitation, "Then we still have to cultivate and train him to the highest standards. I don't believe he can make any moves now, but with only one percent of his initial compatibility, something must be wrong."
"Wang Zhuji, I have something to report." Suddenly, Lu Shan, who had been silent, spoke.
"What's wrong?" Wang Yinlan looked at him.
Lu Shan took a deep breath, looked into Wang Yinlan's calm eyes, and said slowly, "Ji Jiayu just told me that she felt the call of the energy condenser."
"What?!" All the guides present were shocked. Wang Yinlan's pupils shrank instantly.
"And not only that," Lu Shan continued, "It's not just the energy condenser."
After he finished speaking, he extended his hand with a complicated expression and pointed to the west. "She also felt the call of the treasure itself."
Lu Shan's voice fell, and the audience fell silent.
Wang Yinlan calmed down for a moment and asked, "Did she know the treasure was in the Holy City beforehand?"
"Absolutely not." Lu Shan shook his head.
"Okay, I know about this, let's keep it a secret for now."
Wang Yinlan said, "Shengyao Si will provide the next treatment plan soon."
After saying that, she glanced at the crowd coldly, "Do you understand?"
Although many of the guides were Ming Sheng-level powerhouses, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they were glanced at by Wang Yinlan. They immediately replied loudly, "Understood!"
Lu Shan answered seriously, just like everyone else, but many thoughts were brewing in his mind.
When Ji Jiayu woke up, he saw a pale pink ceiling.
He opened his heavy eyelids slightly, looked around, and confirmed that he was in Lu Shan's house. The moonlight outside the window was bright, everything was quiet, and it was clearly late at night.
As soon as he tried to sit up, he felt aches all over his body and a splitting headache. "You're awake."
After the sound of the door bolt was heard, Lu Shan pushed the door in with a glass of water.
"Sister Shanshan, what's wrong with me?" Ji Jiayu turned to look at her, his voice a little hoarse.
"I'm still waiting for you to tell me." Lu Shan helped Ji Jiayu up and sat down, then handed him a water glass. "Drink some water first."
Ji Jiayu took the water glass and drank it dry. His throat felt a little better, and then he began to remember.
After a while, he finally remembered how he had fainted. So he looked at Lu Shan and said, "At that time, a vision appeared before my eyes, and I saw a girl."
"Girl? What girl?" Lu Shan even stopped breathing and hurriedly interjected.
"A girl with golden eyes. She glanced at me, and I fainted," Ji Jiayu said.
Lu Shan was silent for a moment and then asked, "Do you remember what she looked like?"
Ji Jiayu tried to recall, nodded, and said, "I remember."
"Do you think you can draw her?" Lu Shan asked again.
"Probably not." Ji Jiayu smiled embarrassedly, "I can only draw stick figures."
"It's okay." Lu Shan quickly went out to get Ji Jiayu's paper and pen. "You draw it in general first. Think about the details. Don't forget about him. I'll arrange for a painter to paint it tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll try."
Ji Jiayu took the paper and pen, without thinking much about it, and quickly began drawing.
In just twenty seconds, Ji Jiayu drew a "person" with strange outlines, a gray matchstick body, and golden-rimmed eyes.
Lu Shan looked at it for a while, remained silent for a long time, and then put away the drawing paper.
He then accompanied Ji Jiayu as he recalled more details. Until Ji Jiayu showed obvious fatigue, he said, "Try meditating."
Ji Jiayu didn't ask anything when he heard this, immediately closing his eyes and contemplating the appearance of the sacred symbol.
In fact, he had long wanted to do this, and he was also a little worried that the previous abnormal situation would affect his cultivation.
Two seconds later, the Sacred Light Emblem and Sacred Bone Emblem appeared one after another, and divine power gathered towards Ji Jiayu.
Ji Jiayu opened his eyes and said, "Meditation is fine."
"If you're okay, start practicing." Lu Shan said, "You've lost too much blood. Besides taking supplements, cultivating can also help you recover quickly. Once you've recovered, we'll arrange for you to take the second test."
"Huh? Why are you still doing it?" Ji Jiayu asked, puzzled.
"The test results you took this time weren't very accurate," Lu Shan said.
"How inaccurate?" Ji Jiayu asked.
"There's only a one percent initial match," Lu Shan said.
"And that's impossible, right?" Ji Jiayu asked.
"Yes."
Ji Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "I'll cultivate and recover."
After saying that, Lu Shan went out again. When he returned, he was carrying a lot of things, at least thirty holy crystals. In addition, there was a red-skinned fruit and a sealed jar of milky white liquid.
"You know holy crystals? This fruit is called Yuansheng Fruit." Lu Shan pointed to the sealed jar and said, "That's holy stone milk. It contains a relatively gentle and pure divine power that can help you speed up your cultivation."
Ji Jiayu's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Sister Shanshan!"
"Go to sleep first, and practice tomorrow." Lu Shan left after saying that.
In the empty room, Ji Jiayu looked at the pile of cultivation resources. He felt his body and head no longer ached. He couldn't bear to sleep. He immediately reached out and grabbed a piece of holy crystal, closed his eyes, entered a meditative state, and began cultivating.
He was already very close to cultivating the divine power cycle, and now with so many cultivation resources to assist him, there was no tension at all about breaking through the realm.
At three in the morning that day, Ji Jiayu successfully broke through to the second level of the Ming Ling realm.
However, compared to others, Ji Jiayu's breakthrough circumstances were slightly different. Because he was a dual holy cultivator, not only did his body surface possess a full divine power cycle, but even his entire body contained a divine power cycle.
But when it came to true strength, his two divine power cycles weren't simply one plus one, but rather a geometric progression.
After breaking through the realm, Ji Jiayu clearly felt his muscles recover rapidly and even become stronger. The blood, organs, and so on in his body also underwent subtle changes.
He clearly sensed that he had become stronger.
This feeling filled him with excitement, making him feel that the future was full of hope, and that the day of returning to the City of Light and illuminating the darkness was not far off.
After entering the second level of the Ming Ling realm, Ji Jiayu's cultivation method remained unchanged, and he continued to absorb and accumulate divine power.
In fact, the first and second levels of the Ming Ling realm were initially the foundation-laying stage, and only when they advanced to the third level did they begin to truly transform.
This was also Ji Jiayu's next goal.
To advance to the third level, one had to complete ten rounds of divine power cultivation. Compared to the first level, the divine power required directly increased tenfold!
But now Ji Jiayu didn't have to worry at all, as he had ample cultivation resources. For him, it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the third level.
That night, Ji Jiayu stayed up all night and was completely intoxicated in his cultivation.
At the same time, in another bedroom just a few meters away from Ji Jiayu's, Lu Shan had just placed four lit lamps in the four corners of the room. The purple-red flames on the wicks were like snakes that curled and twisted, swimming rapidly, connected from end to end. Immediately after, a curtain of fire rose from the fire snakes' bodies, then fell to block the entire room.
After completing this step, Lu Shan walked to the standing mirror behind the door.
He didn't notice any movement, and the standing mirror reflecting the flames suddenly rippled like water waves.
A few seconds later, a veiled woman in a black robe appeared.
"Why are you looking for me?" The black-robed woman's voice was hoarse and old, devoid of emotion.
"Master Black Phoenix, I've brought Ji Jiayu to complete the initial compatibility test, and his initial compatibility is only one percent," Lu Shan said respectfully.
"One percent?" The woman named Heifeng asked, "What happened?"
"He absorbed a small portion of his blood, and he said he felt the call of the treasure itself," Lu Shan said. "Furthermore, he also said he saw a girl in a vision."
"Girl? What girl?" Heifeng asked.
Lu Shan hesitated for a moment, took out a painting of Ji Jiayu, and showed it to Heifeng. Heifeng glanced at the painting and was silent for a long time before saying, "That painting is very bad."
"I knew it, so I arranged for a painter and will give you a new portrait tomorrow," Lu Shan said.
"If I'm not mistaken, that girl is probably the Guardian." Heifeng said, "If you can see the Guardian, this Jiayu is unusual. Let's take a look and see if she's still useful. If not, find an opportunity to destroy her." Go all out! Don't underestimate him, he might be a trap for humanity."
When Lu Shan heard this, he said without hesitation, "Yes, Lord Black Phoenix." As he bowed his head and said yes, the image in the standing mirror quickly disappeared.
Seeing this, Lu Shan removed the blockade in the house. Sensing that Ji Jiayu was cultivating in the next room, he went to Wang Yinlan to report the suspected guardian.
At ten o'clock the next morning, Lu Shan knocked on the door with the painter, and then walked into Ji Jiayu's room.
Ji Jiayu's cultivation resources on the bedside table had been consumed by a third. He saw Ji Jiayu's eyes red when he saw Lu Shan. When he saw Lu Shan, he just wanted to say hello, but he couldn't help but yawn.
"Cultivation should also be gradual, not overnight," Lu Shan frowned and said.
"I know." After Ji Jiayu's reprimand, his expression was very calm. He looked at Lu Shan and said, "But I want to become stronger quickly. I have my reasons for becoming stronger."
Lu Shan was silent for a moment and said, "Then you should too." "I'll make sure you get enough sleep, otherwise it will affect your cultivation."
"Will that be the case?" Ji Jiayu was stunned for a moment.
Aside from feeling sleepy, his own cultivation was fine, but he was still fine. "If that's the case, I'll guarantee you sleep."
"Then let's begin." Lu Shan pointed to a chubby girl in a pale pink dress next to him and said, "This is the painter sent by Sheng Yaoji."
