Martial Wars Clone Wars.

He re-read the Imperial Royal Bloodline cultivation and understood everything but he is now not the Bai Long, he is the scientist in Bai Long so he had several questions.

He searched other Cultivation techniques for the answers and got some and got confused more.

His primary question was what is Qi. He again tried to use his new microscopic eyes but it was useless outside of his body so he pulled little Qi inside his finger and looked again and all he saw was a sparkling gas.

The cells in his body quickly absorbed the Qi and it vanished. He saw that the Qi somehow replaced the resources required for the cells. ”Hmm…can Qi replace oxygen and other elements? ”

It was a no-brainer question because cultivators can stay away from food and water for a very long time along with holding breath in water for hours.

He once again pulled Qi from air focused on only one cell and saw that specific cell quickly matured in seconds and divided into multiple cells like a cell is supposed to do.

It didn show any signs of Cancer or other mutation at all. ”Qi can mimic other elements but can also act like a superior version of that specific element too for faster and more reliable versions. ”

”Hmm…thats why this world has multiple variants of the same elements like iron, it already has several variants like Moon Iron, Dew Iron and Frigid Iron. ”

He saw the cell absorbing the Qi like it absorbs other normal resources to stay alive. Suddenly he had a radical idea. He wondered what if a single cell tried to cultivate.

He focused on another cell, a red blood cell and studied it accordingly like a cultivator when he noticed that this cell is listening to his every command like it can understand him perfectly.

He felt a new kind of power realising that the cell is able to and also listening to his every instruction. Which means it will be way easier for him to experiment his cell cultivation idea.

He pulled a blood cultivation technique from his loot and then tried it on that specific blood cell. Instead of following the natural course of absorbing resources for mitosis cell division he asked to get stronger.

The blood cell followed his instructions and got more vibrant and more pronounced. His translucent body became more visible and red then suddenly it started becoming bigger like giant in comparison to other red blood cells.

That blood cell becomes bigger like a 7ft person in the crowd of 5.7ft. More powerful and capable than his fellow blood cells. He quickly instructed the blood cell to get out of the body to see how it will be able to survive in a more unfavourable condition.

The very moment it came out from the tip of his finger it automatically started to suck the Qi from the air and did what was in his nature. It started dividing itself rapidly with the help of Qi.

Although Bai Long was not able to see much the moment it came out of his finger, he could sense the microscope fluctuations of Qi flow towards the cell.

But then with a poof it was gone. He didn see much but with the flow of Qi he understood that Qi flow was not enough to sustain them for a long time.

That blood cell was racing against time when he came out in the open and Qi flow was not enough to keep him away from death.

It concluded that if there is enough Qi then it could have survived but what would it have become. His eyes were sparkling with imagination.

So he pondered what would happen if he provided the Qi but he shook his head and focused on fixing his cultivation first.

He closed his eyes but failed to concentrate. He again looked at his finger and another blood cell and this time he decided he will not pull the cell out and watch what it will do inside in his body.

This time he chose his Imperial Royal Bloodline cultivation and directed that blood cell according to the cultivation and his genetics science knowledge.

The blood cell this time also became bigger but it gave off a dominating royal oppressive aura. However, it didn rebel or do anything out of the ordinary.

He left the blood cell to see what it would do and suddenly the adjacent blood cell got influenced by this royal blood cell and started cultivating like it.

His eyes went wide seeing this and like an explosion it quickly spread in his entire body. Within a minute every blood cell in his body is now cultivating the Imperial Royal Bloodline cultivation.

Suddenly his body shook as felt a gust of Qi sucked into his body. All pores in his skin opened at the same time and started drinking the Wi from the air like a thirsty person. He felt a wave of pleasure and bliss spreading in his every organ and joints. His body heats up as if he has done intense cardio.

Heavy sweat poured out his skin when he felt an intense thirst for water. He quickly pulled a water pouch from his ring and drank till it was empty. He pulled another and drank and the taste of water was so sweet and quenching he never imagined water to be so satisfying.

His stomach growled and intense hunger took over, he didn stop and pulled all manner of food items and started gobbling it down. The food never tasted so good and filling before as he kept eating until he gave a loud burp.

He looked around and saw water pouches and bones of meat he devoured. He felt a little tired from overcoming him and felt like sleeping. He remembered from Bai Longs memories cultivators can stave off sleep but why he is not able to control it.

He felt stupid asking this question because he is not a cultivator yet, he just started, he haven crossed the first stage of Body Tempering. He was sure if its safe to sleep here but his body was not listening to it at all. He quickly climbed the thick beam and got the corner of the roof and beam supporting it.

He pulled a rope and tied it with the horizontal beam and then binded himself tightly. He lay down on the corner horizontal beam and pulled the rope to secure himself with the horizontal beam.

Now he will kind of stay hidden in the corner and can stay in sleep without falling down because he has tied himself down. He used to do this with his crippled body in bed or on his chair for peace of mind. He let go of his resistance and quickly fell asleep.

In the darkness of night he woke up to the sound of growling as he felt he was not on a solid surface. He was hanging from the side of the beam he was sleeping on. He looked down and saw several wolf-like creatures feasting on the corpses left on the ground floor.

He stayed motionless to avoid alerting these beasts because he knows from Bai Long memories that Qi Beasts are very tough to kill or scare them away. Avoiding them is the key unless you have absolute confidence that you can kill them.

Also he is alone and there are more than seven here. He is not confident against even one of them.

*AWOOO*

A distant call stopped their feast as they grabbed each and every corpse with their bite and dragged them away with them. He felt relieved seeing they all left. He also praised his idea of sleeping on a high beam instead of the floor or else he would have been killed in his sleep.

He didn unbind himself because he was still feeling sleepy and this is night time, its far more dangerous to do anything in night time so he adjusted himself back to the beam and got comfortable back to sleep.

—————–

In the darkness he heard some whisper as he slowly tried opening his heavy eyes but was only able to open a little to see his father and uncle in a sombre mood.

”How is he? ” Asked father with hope.

His uncle who looked like an Haggard old man with long white hair and beard but a well built muscled body with a single shawl like cloth for upper garment sat down near him and looked at him with care and love.

His father was the opposite of his uncle. A clean and maintained face with waxed moustache. Glowey and combed hair with a back bun. An attire of royal quality but still nothing extravagant. His face was full of worry and defeat as he looked at his son.

”Your stubbornness will be harmful for him, without the imperial cultivation he will not survive long. ” Said his uncle with a very serious scolding tone.
