Chapter 857 He Xue’s Special Const.i.tution!
After seeing the seedlings, Fang Qiu asked Zhao Shanlin to go to the land near the snow-capped mountain with him. When Zhao Shanlin confirmed that the land was suitable, Fang Qiu asked people to start transporting the Snow Lotus seedlings to the land.
While the seedlings were being transported, Fang Qiu created a terrain similar to a cultivation base in this area.
After the terrain had been formed, the Snow Lotus seedlings also arrived.
They began the planting.
While people were planting the seedlings, Fang Qiu carefully selected a Tianshan Snow Lotus, took it to the center of the terrain, and planted it as the Formation Eye.
After the Snow Lotus was planted, the whole terrain immediately began to move. The surrounding Qi of Heaven and Earth surged from all directions and began to gather, entering the ground and forming a circulation.
After Fang Qiu was done, the others had almost finished planting the Snow Lotus seedlings. When the last batch of Snow Lotus seedlings arrived, they would be able to finish the cultivation.
“This is a nice place.” Looking at the Tianshan Snow Lotus seedlings planted in the land, Zhao Shanlin smiled with satisfaction and said, “It’s a natural cultivation place for Snow Lotuses. It usually takes the Snow Lotus five years to mature, which is a bit long.”
“That’s not right,” Fang Qiu said with a smile.
“Indeed,” Zhao Shanlin laughed and added, “Although it takes the Tianshan Snow Lotus five years to mature, due to the weather, the Snow Lotus only has eight months to grow within five years.”
“Yes.” Fang Qiu nodded.
He was clear about this. Since he had decided to cultivate the Tianshan Snow Lotus seedlings, he would surely have done relevant research before the planting.
However, the Tianshan Snow Lotus seedlings he planted were different from the normal ones.
With a large amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth attracted to the terrain, Fang Qiu felt that the Tianshan Snow Lotus seedlings here only needed about a month to mature.
“Only the last batch is left. They’re already on the way,” Zhao Shanlin said. He then added, “Although it’s rare to see people here, the Tianshan Snow Lotus is a precious medicinal herb after all. If we just leave the seedlings here, I’m afraid they will be stolen.”
“Tianshan Snow Lotuses will become a major business of our company in the future, so I plan to build another cultivation base here,” Fang Qiu said.
“That’s what I mean.” Zhao Qingshan nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, the roar of a car engine could be heard.
The last batch of Snow Lotus seedlings had arrived!
Both of them looked over.
The moment the car stopped, He Xue jumped out of the car.
“Why are you here?” Fang Qiu was stunned and asked curiously.
“What? I can’t come?” He Xue looked around and said, “I’m a senior executive of the company. Since it’s our business, I have to come and do an inspection.”
“All right.” Fang Qiu couldn’t refute.
He Xue ignored Fang Qiu and went straight to the foot of the snow-capped mountain. She closed her eyes and raised her head to take a deep breath. Then, she stretched herself comfortably, turned back, and said to Fang Qiu in surprise, “Why do I feel that this place is not cold at all although it’s under the snow-capped mountain? It’s similar to the feeling when I was in the cultivation base. It feels so fresh.”
“Hmm?” Fang Qiu was surprised.
“Yes, it’s a refres.h.i.+ng feeling.” He Xue nodded affirmatively and continued, “Except for the cultivation base and this place, I don’t have this kind of feeling at other places. It seems that the other places are quite normal!”
Fang Qiu was amazed when he heard that.
He couldn’t help eyeing He Xue curiously.
Of course, he knew why He Xue felt so invigorated here.
It was the enormous amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth in these two places that made her feel this way!
However, ordinary people could not sense the Qi of Heaven and Earth. How could He Xue feel it so clearly?
“Come here. Let me feel your pulse,” Fang Qiu said.
“Why?” He Xue was stunned and said, “I’m not sick. Why do you need to feel my pulse? Didn’t you cure me?”
“Let me see if it recurred,” Fang Qiu replied with a smile.
“Go to h.e.l.l!” He Xue roared at Fang Qiu, but she still came over and stretched out her hand obediently to let Fang Qiu feel her pulse.
Fang Qiu thought to himself, “Does she have the legendary special const.i.tution?”
Filled with doubt, Fang Qiu reached out to feel He Xue’s pulse. He immediately mobilized his mental power and let it seep into He Xue’s body. Then, he began to examine her carefully.
He found that He Xue’s const.i.tution was indeed very special.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, to sense the Qi of Heaven and Earth, one must break through and become a Martial Superior. Moreover, even a Martial Superior could only sense it little by little. For instance, if a normal person could sense 1% of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, then a Martial Superior could sense more than 30% of it!
In addition, there was a special human const.i.tution in Wulin, which could help people have an inborn sense for the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Every part of these people, who had this kind of const.i.tution, was particularly sensitive to the Qi of Heaven and Earth, including their skin, their cells, and even their spirits.
Once they were born, they could sense more than 50% of the Qi of Heaven and Earth!
This was the const.i.tution that all the people in Wulin dreamed of.
Unfortunately, this was not a choice that could be made by human beings, nor could it be obtained by hard work.
He Xue had such a const.i.tution!
When he learned about this, Fang Qiu couldn’t help being astounded!
Those with this kind of const.i.tution could cultivate rapidly. Although they could sense the Qi of Heaven and Earth, they still needed to get through the martial arts pract.i.tioner stage. Once they broke through the peak of the martial arts pract.i.tioner stage and reached the Martial Superior Level, their cultivation speed would definitely increase by leaps and bounds!
“You are indeed sick!” Fang Qiu said as he withdrew his hand.
“What?” He Xue was startled. She immediately pulled Fang Qiu aside and asked in a low voice, “Didn’t you say that if I did as you said, my illness would be cured?”
“Your illness has been cured. I’m not talking about that,” Fang Qiu said.
“Don’t lie to me. What’s the matter with me?” He Xue raised her eyebrows and looked a little solemn.
“Don’t be nervous.” Fang Qiu chuckled and added, “This will not affect you at all. On the contrary, it has a lot of benefits. In fact, it can’t be called an illness. It can only be regarded as a special const.i.tution.”
“You scared me.” He Xue patted her chest and rolled her eyes at Fang Qiu.
“I have a question for you.” Fang Qiu turned his head and looked around. After making sure that there was no one else around, he then asked, “Do you want to practice martial arts?”
“Practice martial arts?” He Xue was confused.
Fang Qiu nodded affirmatively and said, “Yes. Your const.i.tution is very special and really suitable for learning martial arts.”
He Xue suddenly understood and said, “I see. Can you tell me what’s the benefit of learning martial arts first? Can I become beautiful? Can it make my complexion better and my skin fairer?”
“Well…” Fang Qiu pondered about it carefully. The first image that came into his mind was Diwu Qian.
Diwu Qian was indeed as stunning as a fairy.
It should be due to the benefits of practicing martial arts.
Thinking of this, Fang Qiu nodded and said, “I suppose so!”
“Okay.” He Xue didn’t hesitate. When she heard that she could become more beautiful, she immediately nodded and asked, “How can I learn?”
“I’ll teach you.” Fang Qiu smiled slightly and then directly started making some movements. He said as he made the moves, “Follow my instructions.”
Of course, what Fang Qiu taught her was not any ordinary martial arts, but the moves left by Master Yang Yizhi in the cave. Although it seemed that he merely taught her some simple moves, it was not so easy for ordinary people to master them.
However, what he didn’t expect was that He Xue was surprisingly talented in practicing martial arts.
Fang Qiu only demonstrated the moves twice.
However, He Xue mastered them completely. She didn’t miss any moves and did everything very well.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Fang Qiu said to He Xue, “Congratulations, you’ve mastered them.”
He Xue was surprised and asked, “What? Is that all?”
“This is just the beginning.” Fang Qiu shook his head with a smile. Then he said, “Keep on practicing. You need to practice these moves every day. It won’t be long before ordinary people are no match for you.”
“Can I beat you?” He Xue asked with a smile.
“You may do it in your next life!” Fang Qiu replied indifferently.
“Tut-tut,” He Xue looked at Fang Qiu with contempt and said, “Sure enough, if there is something good, you’ll never share it. You only offer something meagre. You are so stingy.”
“Do you know how many people will fight for the good stuff I taught you? You even despised it.”
Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and thought to himself, “At this moment, almost all the countries around the South Sea are about to get into a fight because of this.”
He Xue asked, “Then why don’t you learn it yourself, instead of teaching me?”
Fang Qiu replied, “I’ve learned Qigong. I can’t study too many types of martial arts. It will get mixed up. If I learn this, I’ll have to give up my Qigong halfway.”
He Xue nodded with understanding and said, “That’s true. I practice martial arts, and you practice Qigong. One day, I will definitely beat you, humph!”
After that, she walked aside to practice.
Fang Qiu thought to himself, “Martial arts… Qigong… Your logic… It does make sense!”
Watching He Xue doing her practice, Fang Qiu did not disturb her. He walked to the side and helped the staff plant the last batch of Snow Lotuses.
In fact, he taught He Xue with a motive in mind. On the one hand, it would be a waste not to cultivate since she had such a const.i.tution. On the other hand, he thought that maybe he could cultivate an expert. In this way, there would be someone to take care of the cultivation base.
However, he was thinking too far ahead. He should take it slow.
Now he was looking for helpers. He Gaoming and the others needed time to grow. Maybe one day in the future, his ident.i.ty as John Doe would be made public.
Everything had to be prepared.
After they finished the cultivation, Fang Qiu planned to stay and guard the area for three days to see if there was anything that could harm the Snow Lotuses. If not, he could leave without any worries.
If there was, he had to try to find another guardian beast. If he failed to find one, he could only get the Tianshan Snow Hare here. After all, this was its territory, so it should be able to defend this area.
The next day, Fang Qiu observed the growth of the Tianshan Snow Lotuses with Zhao Shanlin. He was checking whether there were any factors that would affect their growth near the cultivation area.
“Beep, beep, beep…” The phone in Fang Qiu’s trouser pocket suddenly rang.
He took it out and had a look.
It was from Li Ji.
“h.e.l.lo?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.
Li Ji’s serious voice came from the other side of the phone. He said, “Something happened in the South Sea!”
