Chapter 253 What are you saying in gibberish? I can't understand!
Gululu...
In the large pot, the ginkgo fruit that was the size of a basketball before ripening has grown to the size of a marble bollard on the road after ripening.
However, it is not mature enough yet.
Only when cooked thoroughly will the toxins be neutralized, making it safe to eat.
But the cooking process attracted many evolved creatures from the surrounding area.
After all, raw ginkgo nuts don't have the same intense flavor as when they're cooked.
However, knowing Cangnian's strength, none of them dared to approach; they could only smell his scent from afar.
"Tiger, these are Buddhist scriptures we found at Chanlan Temple."
We haven't found any cultivation techniques these past two days, so we've been looking at these things out of boredom.
I've noticed that when I breathe normally, it seems like I'm absorbing more spiritual energy from the surroundings.
Although your body structure is different from that of humans, giving it a try shouldn't cause any problems.
What if it could have the same effect?
While waiting for the ginkgo fruits to cook, Yichen looked at Cangnian and asked.
"Hmm? There really is a cultivation technique?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian was quite surprised.
In fact, after the spiritual energy revival tide, all living beings are constantly absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world.
Like evolutionary factors, spiritual energy can promote evolution.
However, this is far less efficient than eating evolved meat directly or ingesting evolutionary factors directly.
Otherwise, the rate of evolution of all evolved organisms, including humans, would not vary so significantly between individuals.
It's important to understand that a significant portion of life forms are still ordinary organisms and haven't evolved.
If the efficiency of natural absorption of spiritual energy for evolution were very high, it wouldn't be like this.
"Ow~!"
With that in mind, what reason did Cang Nian have to hesitate? He immediately nodded and roared in agreement.
Of course I'll give it a try!
"Okay, I'll read it to you. Just listen and ask if you don't understand anything."
I'll try my best to explain it to you, but I don't quite understand these things myself.
"Once we get back to Kangcheng, we'll find someone who has some knowledge of Buddhism to discuss this further."
Yichen nodded and said.
However, he first gave Cangnian a heads-up, telling him not to have too high expectations.
After saying that, he picked up a scripture and began to read it.
And Cang Nian listened attentively.
The little sable beside it tilted its head and listened curiously.
However, after listening to a couple of sentences, its little face scrunched up.
So hard!
Can't understand!
This is even more difficult than the methods the King taught for controlling magical artifacts!
The method of controlling that magical artifact is key to Zenran Temple. Therefore, although it is ancient, the recorded text is explained in the plain language of that time as simply as possible.
But these Buddhist scriptures are inherently profound and mysterious, so naturally they are beyond the comprehension of the little sable's small head.
But remembering what Yichen said, that this thing could accelerate evolution, the little sable forced itself to continue listening even though it didn't understand.
But the more it listened, the more its brows furrowed, and its bright, sparkling little eyes became dazed.
The situation is much better for Cang Nian.
Although he hadn't studied any Buddhist scriptures in his previous life, he was still a student who started out without parents and whose life was in ruins, yet still managed to get into university!
At the very least, they possess basic high school level skills in analyzing classical Chinese poems and prose.
So, while I can't say I fully understand it, I can at least grasp the general meaning.
After Yichen finished reading a scripture, Cangnian frowned.
Ancient scriptures were mostly recorded by handwriting. The scriptures at Chanlan Temple are not the originals passed down from ancient times, but the writing method is still the same.
Therefore, a book of scriptures does not contain many words, ranging from a few thousand to a few hundred words.
But after listening to the chanting, Cang Nian felt nothing.
His body's instinctive absorption rate of spiritual energy remained unchanged.
"It's useless? Is it because you didn't understand, Tiger, or is it just that there aren't enough?"
Seeing Cangnian's expression, Yichen asked with concern.
For Yi Chen, who has the best relationship with the Cangnian family, the faster the Cangnian family becomes stronger, the better for him.
Although, now the Cang Nian family is much better off than him because of the continuation of their family line.
However, it would be a great pity if the Cang Nian family couldn't use this method of autonomously accelerating the absorption of spiritual energy.
"Ow~!"
Upon hearing this, Cangnian was about to retort when he realized that he must be an illiterate tiger and shouldn't be able to understand such complex things as scriptures in just one reading.
He should be like the little sable next to him now, looking blank and lost in thought.
So he nodded, confidently stating that he hadn't understood at all!
"Alright then, I'll read it a few more times..."
Yi Chen breathed a sigh of relief, still holding onto a sliver of hope that Cangnian could improve the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy for evolution by chanting scriptures.
"Stop reading, these ginkgo fruits look ripe!"
At this moment, Bai Jue, who was squatting on the ground nearby, adding firewood to the stove, got up, lifted the lid of the pot, poked at the ginkgo fruit with chopsticks to remove the green skin and break through the hard shell, revealing the jade-like ginkgo fruit.
Seeing that the chopsticks hadn't gone in at all, she turned around and called out.
If this pot weren't big enough, the lid might not even be able to close properly after putting the ginkgo nuts in.
"Ow~!"
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian was overjoyed and raised his paw, interrupting Yi Chen's chanting.
Then, he stood up and went to the pot.
Meanwhile, Qin Changyi, who had been silent all along, activated his supernatural ability. A metal ingot flew out and was then inserted into the pot to retrieve a ginkgo fruit that was twice the size of the stone block.
Seeing this, Cangnian couldn't wait to take a bite.
"Shaha...Shaha..."
The hot, creamy ginkgo nuts entered Cang Nian's mouth, causing him to involuntarily exhale.
If it weren't for his robust physique, those freshly cooked ginkgo nuts would have burned his mouth.
But as soon as he swallowed a ginkgo fruit, Cang Nian felt it transform into a warm current.
The strangest thing was that the heat did not slide down his esophagus, but spread throughout his chest!
Then, Cang Nian felt his lungs become incredibly cool, as if he had inhaled a breath of cold air.
The simultaneous occurrence of this heat and cold left Cang Nian with a somewhat unpleasant feeling.
But immediately, he felt as if his lungs had expanded out of thin air, able to hold more air!
Moreover, the cool sensation travels through the lungs, feeling almost tangible yet not affecting breathing; on the contrary, it makes breathing smoother!
[Ding! Roar skill proficiency +100! (7800/10000)]
[Ding! Roar skill proficiency +100! (7900/10000)]
……
Then, just as Cang Nian was feeling the changes in his body, a series of system notifications came to his mind, one after another, without stopping.
"Ah? What's going on?"
Cang Nian was quite surprised.
