Cheng Yi’s guess naturally had some truth to it, but it was rather difficult to verify it. Leave alone other factors, Cheng Yi found it difficult to accept the little one to cultivate with others.
An Yan, on the other hand, had no idea what Cheng Yi was thinking. To him, two people cultivating together was simply to help each other, which was not a private matter.
It wasn’t until they sat down face-to-face that Cheng Yi spoke with a solemn expression, “Yan Yan, I don’t want you to cultivate with other people.”
An Yan tilted his head in bewilderment, “Why?”
Cheng Yi replied simply, “Because I will be jealous.”
Cheng Yi’s jealousy could not be suppressed at the thought of the little one’s spiritual power merging with other people’s and even entering each other’s spiritual domain.
Although An Yan was kind-hearted and willing to help others within his ability, he was not ignorant of intimacy.
Although An Yan didn’t quite understand why Cheng Yi was jealous over this matter, he said after a moment of silence, “If you care so much, then I won’t cultivate with the others.”
Thinking back, Cheng Yi had expressed his aversion a long time ago. He intended to help Grandpa Cheng cultivate, but Cheng Yi prevented him from doing so.
The same was true for Cheng Yang’s tutorial on cultivation.
So it seems that Cheng Yi was indeed very concerned about this matter. An Yan did not want to upset him and said in a more affirmative tone, “Don’t worry, senior, I won’t practice with others!”
Cheng Yi was relieved with this assurance. He touched An Yan’s face and said in a softer tone, “Actually, if you want to verify your suspicions, you don’t necessarily have to cultivate with others. We can think of other ways. ”
An Yan was also seriously thinking about this, “If it really has something to do with my spiritual power, then can I try to split a portion of it?”
If cultivating together is out of the question, then it should be fine for him to split a portion of his spiritual power, then manually fuse it.
“This method may be feasible, but then we will face a new problem,” Cheng Yi mused, “Even though your spiritual power is very high, it is not infinite. It is fine to divide it for one or two people, but what if it is thousands or even millions or tens of millions? ”
An Yan couldn’t help but be silent at these words.
There were so many humans in the interstellar, and it was impossible for him to distribute his spiritual power to each and every one of them.”Besides,” Cheng Yi continued after a brief pause, “if other people knew that the key to the transformation potion was you, and only you, someone would definitely try to capture you by any means possible.”
It was a good thing that An Yan was willing to use his spiritual power to help others, but not everyone would be grateful. There might be people who would forget their gratitude and bite the hand that feeds them in the face of profit.
Although Cheng Yi would do his best to protect An Yan no matter what happens, there are bound to be huge hidden dangers if thousands of people calculate together.
An Yan slowly frowned. He could protect himself, but it would be miserable if he had to live in the midst of other people’s schemes and plots every day.
It is true that he was not stingy in helping others, but he did not want to put himself in trouble just to help others.
Thinking of this, An Yan shook his head repeatedly and said, “Then it’s better not to. Let’s take our time on this matter and see if we can think of other solutions.”
This matter would have to remain on hold if a perfect solution could not be found.
However, although the promotion of the transformation potion had encountered some problems for the time being, this did not affect their next verification work. Whether it was Cheng Yang or Grandpa Cheng, they were people they trusted, so they did not have to worry about this matter causing complications if An Yan manually fused his spiritual power with them.
The two discussed this point and soon made a decision.
An Yan immediately transferred some of his spiritual power and sealed it in a potion bottle before going to find Cheng Yang.
Cheng Yang was distressed that he couldn’t help An Yan, and he was happy to see the two coming together.
An Yan described the problem, and Cheng Yang’s eyes lit up. He clutched the potion bottle and said with great enthusiasm, “I’ll try it right now!”
But despite his enthusiasm, Cheng Yang acted sensibly. He first rehearsed what he was going to do in his head.
First, he had to absorb the spiritual power in the potion bottle and slowly fuse it with his. Then he could follow the previous steps to make the transformation potion.
After making sure that he had rehearsed every step in his head and that there should be no more problems, Cheng Yang took a deep breath and officially began to take action.
The potion bottle An Yan had given didn’t look like it contained much spiritual potion, but it wasn’t the case when he absorbed it. There was a lot of spiritual power condensed in this small potion bottle!
It didn’t look like much, but Cheng Yang had not finished absorbing it even after a long time.
He finished absorbing the entire bottle of spiritual power and felt like he was walking on air: “Yan Yan, why does your spiritual power not feel like mine? It feels… it feels like my whole body has become lighter, not just my body, but even my spiritual domain. What’s going on? ”
Although he had confessed many things to Cheng Yang, they did not include An Yan’s true identity. So An Yan could only vaguely say, “It must be because you have not absorbed other people’s spiritual power before, right? Since you have finished absorbing the spiritual power, the next step is to perform the fusion. ”
Cheng Yang nodded repeatedly. Compared to the absorption he had just done, fusion was much easier. The spiritual power he had just absorbed would spontaneously fuse in his spiritual domain even if he did nothing. Only that it would take a long time if he let them fuse naturally.
So all Cheng Yang had to do now was to accelerate their fusion.
The process took about ten minutes, and Cheng Yang began to make the transformation potion after making sure that the two had completely fused.
He had practiced many times before, so it was naturally a breeze in the production process. He quickly produced a potion without any problems.
Although the process was quite smooth, Cheng Yang was still quite anxious, “Will it really work?” He hastily added, “I’m worried that I did not grasp the essence of making a transformation potion.”
An Yan didn’t say anything, and he drank the potion directly. Ten seconds later, his eyes lit up, “It really worked!”
Although the effect was still minimal, it was better than no effect. This was already a qualitative leap for An Yan.
Cheng Yang’s eyes also lit up, “Really? Did it really work? ”
An Yan nodded repeatedly, “Mm-hmm, I’ll have to trouble you to make a few more potions.”
Only with a few more sets of experimental data could the problem be better explained and the pattern found.
So Cheng Yang produced another ten transformation potions in one breath. He was going to continue, but An Yan smiled as he drank the tenth bottle, “Ten bottles is enough. It’s been hard on you, Yang Yang. ”
Although his body and spiritual domain were a little exhausted, Cheng Yang’s spirit was exhilarated, “I’m not tired. I can make a few more bottles. ”
“No need. Although ten experiments are few, they are enough to draw a conclusion,” An Yan shook his head, “but I may need to your help to make ten transformation potions every day from now on.”
“No problem, I’ll take care of it.” Cheng Yang patted his chest, and then asked curiously, “But what conclusion have you reached, Yan Yan?”
An Yan said in a mysterious manner, “I’ll tell you in a few days.”
Although Cheng Yang was curious, he knew that he could not ask for the result. He could only put away his curiosity for the time being.
Over the next few days, apart from showing Gu Qing around, Cheng Yang made ten transformation potions each day. This continued regularly until the fifth round of the competition.
There were a total of 100 teams for the offline competition, and they would all come together at the Central Star for the next.
Many of the contestants had to travel across several planets, or even several star systems, to a planet they had never been to in order to participate.
But this wasn’t the case for An Yan. They had no need to spend extra time on the road, let alone familiarize themselves with the new environment.
On the day of the offline competition, the four went to the meeting point for the competition. Only this time, the venue was no longer a virtual map, but a giant one planned in reality.
Once the 100 teams had gathered, the competition officials arranged for them to travel en masse to the venue and announced the detailed rules on the way.
For this round, participants were divided into five groups by lottery and were randomly transported onto the map.
The duration of the competition was five hours, and the team with the most supplies by the end of the competition would win no matter whether the participants had been eliminated or not.
The remaining teams on the field at the end of five hours will also be considered to have advanced.
