Chapter 68 The Law Of Chi Camouflaging Scripture
Actually, when humans first gathered origin chi inside their bodies, they tried the cultivation methods of those used by Ogarians. But, for some reason, it didn't work at all. So, after thorough studies for decades, researchers and scientists came up with an idea to further cultivate Origin Chi inside a human body. After excavating some old Chinese imperial tombs from the southern Chinese Sea on the Earth, archaeologists found some old manuscripts which told us the old fable of becoming an immortal. Then the various bright minds of both humans and Ogarians worked together and finally came up with an idea that would work. It was actually an amalgamation of ideas about the Ogarian's ways of practicing the Origin Chi and the Chinese old ways of immortality found in some caves and tombs. They were further studied and able to practice later on and came to, known as the Cultivation Technique Scrolls. They came with varieties of eclectics regarding the elemental nature of the origin Chi.
Upon seeing many scrolls, Bobby exclaimed in delight. "Cultivation Technique scrolls!" He flipped through multiple scrolls and asked weirdly. "Wow, why did you even have these kinds of stuff when you literally didn't need them before? You don't even need them in the first place."
Diana made a goofy smile and replied, "I don't know….Um… it might be because I'm simply rich. You know these things are precious, like the diamonds and platinum of the past. And I enjoy collecting expensive goods as my collection does. But lucky us. Now, we can use them."
"Diamonds and platinum are still precious and expensive though,"
"Not much expensive like magical stones."
The wooden cupboard came up with seven different sections separating between them and tags were written at the top of each section as; earth elemental scrolls, wind elemental scrolls, water elemental scrolls, wood elemental scrolls, fire elemental scrolls, metal elemental scrolls, and finally the deluxe section, which was a safe using the most advanced contemporary locked.
"Diana, you know what we need the most first; a special skill to conceal the trace of Origin Chi inside our body first," Bobby said, as he didn't find any skills related to it.
"Then all you need to do is ask me, sweety." Diana winked at him mischievously and opened the security box in the Deluxe section, attempting an entry of a password. Then a green light flashed out from an AI attached to the safe and scanned her body thoroughly twice, and finally the safe opened with an electrical beeping sound. "Please do the honor. Every item in the safe has at least the value of a verdant planet like our mother Earth." She said, feeling proud of herself.
When he heard her words, Bobby's mind was blown, and he realized how rich she was. He smiled at her and wondered, "I guess having a rich girlfriend is pretty cool." Then he glanced inside and saw seven scrolls placed neatly in the safe.
"Which one is it?" he asked.
"Check the 5th one." She replied in haste.
Bobby picked it up and scrolled the scroll, which was made from silk. It was titled 'the Law of Chi Camouflaging Scripture'. He read the scroll, and it was clearly written in multilingual scripts; Japanese, Mandarin, English, and Oraa, the official language of Ogarian. There was a drawing showing human anatomy depicting how the Origin Chi, within the Dantian, near the navel region, could be concealed.
Three exercises were done to activate this ability: physical exercise, breathing exercises, and a part of the Origin chi. After reading, Bobby glanced up at Diana and asked, "Can you read it?"
"Um… I can read English, Japanese very well and Oraa is kind of funny. But Mandarin, not so much. Well, actually I literally suck in it. And do you even know what I went through to skip Mandarin classes?"
Her question piqued his interest. So he asked, "Oh, what did you do?"
"I refuse to eat my breakfast for a complete month. My whole family went nuts and tried their best to make me happy. I refused to bow down to their sugar-coated words and various gifts. At last, my grandpa also came out from his 300 years recluse and agreed readily afterward and bye-bye Mandarin." Diana reacted sadly as if the characters in Mandarin terrified her.
"Hah, really!" Bobby was dumbfounded by her response, as he didn't see it coming. And he thought, "Truly fabulous. Must be really nice having a filthy rich family and she seems to favor by her family. Even they went crazy just for skipping some breakfast."
He further asked, "Then how can you read this?.... I totally understand why you don't like to study Mandarin. It is one of the most difficult languages humans have ever created - over 50,000 characters for classics and 20,000 characters for a modern context." "But sweetheart, over 50% of the context inside was written in classic Mandarin. I can't…."
"Hee-hee," Diana scratched her head shyly and breezed in. "That's where you come in. You can teach and explain to me, right?"
"Okay, then let me read these scrolls here first. And we can discuss that later." Bobby said, and he began reading the scrolls one after the other. In fact, he memorized them after just a quick look and spent a few seconds analyzing them. So, it was a cakewalk for him to read all the scrolls inside the cupboard. Bobby found only two cultivation scrolls related to his lightning-based inside the Deluxe section named; the Three laws of Thunder-clap and the Lightning Cannon Skill. After reading and analyzing them, he came to understand that the first book was easy and not much challenging at all. It simply just used his lightning nature in his Origin chi to cultivate it. While the context of the second scroll was rigorous and incomplete. But he knew that if he cultivated it, then he would have more than a hundredfold more power than the previous one. However, cultivating it entailed a lot of risks.
