So he could only say, "You ask me how spiritual energy appeared... I'm not sure about that either."
"In short, some people in this world can possess spiritual energy, and spiritual energy can be cultivated. Those who cultivate spiritual energy are called spiritual cultivators."
"Later, powerful spiritual cultivators established forces like families or sects, but these forces usually don't appear in society, which is why they are called hidden spiritual sects."
Wu Tian nodded. He liked reading web novels and fantasy novels, so he accepted such things quite quickly.
He then asked, "And then, is that all there is to know about spiritual energy?"
Elder Zhang said, "As far as I know, that's all there is, except for the division of cultivation realms for spiritual energy."
"Spiritual energy is divided into ten levels, and I am currently only at the fourth level."
"What about me?" Wu Tian asked, "What realm am I at now?"
Elder Zhang said, "I don't know about that either. It is said that skilled spiritual cultivators can see through the opponent's realm at a glance."
"But I am just a rogue cultivator, I can't tell just by looking. You need to channel your spiritual energy to me so I can sense it."
Wu Tian was not afraid that Elder Zhang would play any tricks. He said, "Is that so? Then please help me take a look."
After speaking, Wu Tian placed his hand on Elder Zhang's shoulder, and spiritual energy immediately surged into Elder Zhang's body.
A few seconds later, Elder Zhang said, "Alright, alright, I know what realm you are at now!"
"Oh?" Wu Tian said with interest, "Then tell me quickly, what level am I at?"
Elder Zhang replied truthfully, "The realm I sensed just now was level three, so your current spiritual energy level is three."
"Only level three?" This answer caught Wu Tian by surprise.
He then asked, "That's not right. If I'm only level three, how could I possibly defeat you?"
Elder Zhang gave a wry smile and said, "The strength between spiritual cultivators cannot be judged solely by their levels."
"You possess spiritual energy throughout your entire body, and you also know such profound spiritual techniques. How could I possibly be your opponent?"
Wu Tian could still understand the term "spiritual technique," which was undoubtedly referring to his "Heavenly Thunder Manual!"
But...
"What is spiritual energy throughout the body, and why is there such a division of spiritual energy?" Wu Tian asked.
Elder Zhang said, "It seems you really don't know anything."
"To not know anything and yet possess level three spiritual energy is truly incredible."
"Spiritual energy doesn't cover the entire body; it usually only appears in certain parts of the body."
"For example, my spiritual energy is only in these two middle fingers and index fingers. Because of this, my attacks are mainly finger-based."
"But you are different. Your spiritual energy covers your entire body. When compared at the same level, your spiritual energy will be the most abundant."
"For instance, although I am one level higher than you, my spiritual energy is actually not as good as yours."
"This is the best cultivation talent. Among ten thousand spiritual cultivators, perhaps one might not even have spiritual energy covering their entire body."
"It's that amazing?" Wu Tian was surprised. It seemed that the so-called Medicine God truly treated him well!
Amidst his surprise, Wu Tian finally had a general understanding of spiritual energy.
However, the more he knew, the more confused he became. He always felt that there must be many things behind this.
And these things, he might have to face them in the future.
Thinking of this, Wu Tian felt a slight ache in his head.
But no matter what, those were things for later. Thinking too much now was meaningless.
So he nodded to Elder Zhang and said, "Alright, I understand. Shall we get back to the main topic? Do you still want to try me now?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Zhang's hair stood on end.
Where would he dare to provoke Wu Tian again? Wasn't this asking for death?
He quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I am completely convinced by you."
"I am no match for a spiritual cultivator like you."
Wu Tian said, "Since you understand, why are you still lingering here? Are you planning for me to beat you up again?"
Elder Zhang immediately came to his senses and said quickly, "I know, I'm leaving, I'm leaving now. I promise I will never appear before you again!"
Saying that, Elder Zhang turned to leave.
But Chen Niu was unwilling. If Elder Zhang left, what would he do?
So he hurriedly grabbed Elder Zhang and said, "Elder Zhang, what are you doing? You can't leave!"
"You promised to protect me, and if you leave, won't I be in danger?"
Elder Zhang's mouth twitched, fearing that Chen Niu would say something worse.
He snorted and said, "Don't say such things to me anymore. You're almost getting me killed!"
"From now on, we have no relationship whatsoever. You don't need to look for me anymore!"
Chen Niu was stunned when he heard this, but he still insisted on not letting Elder Zhang leave.
Elder Zhang suddenly became furious and roared, "Get lost! Don't you understand human speech!"
Along with Elder Zhang's roar, a surge of spiritual energy erupted from his body, pushing Chen Niu back.
Then, Elder Zhang no longer looked at him and left the treasure gambling arena directly.
Looking at the mess on the ground, Chen Niu's face was even paler than white paper.
He regretted it. Why did he have to provoke Wu Tian when he was fine? Wasn't this asking for trouble?
Seeing Wu Tian's gaze turn towards him, Chen Niu trembled violently.
Without Wu Tian even speaking, he immediately bowed to Wu Tian and said, "Big Brother! Big Brother! Don't come over! I know I was wrong!"
Wu Tian smiled at him playfully, "Big Brother? Are you sure you're calling the right person? Didn't you want to kill me earlier?"
Chen Niu's tongue was tied with nervousness. He stammered, "I I I... I was talking nonsense!"
"Big Brother, you, you are Big Brother. How would I dare to oppose you?"
"Even if you gave me ten more guts, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing!"
"Is that so?" Wu Tian found Chen Niu's change in attitude very interesting.
He continued, "If that's the case, then our previous bet, does it still count?"
Chen Niu said without thinking, "It counts! It counts! Everything we said just now counts!"
Wu Tian said, "If that's the case, then what are you waiting for?"
"How much money did you lose to me? Aren't you going to prepare to pay me?"
Chen Niu's expression changed slightly, then turned to embarrassment and reluctance.
After all, it was thirty million!
Although he had power, he wasn't that wealthy. Thirty million was still a large sum of money for him.
