Ch38.2 - The Cultivation Method in Li Zhen’s Eyes (2)

When Li Zhen walked to the place where they parked before, he looked at the crystal nucleus on the tabletop. Now he could hardly sense the existence of the crystal nucleus, unless he came close enough. Li Zhen glanced at the mutant zombie behind him, with the wave of his hand, the crystal nucleus returned to it again. The mutant zombie held the crystal nucleus and did not respond for a long time. Li Zhen is certain, his sensing ability is stronger than the mutant zombies.

Then, under Li Zhen’s instructions, the mutant zombie swallowed the crystal nucleus. 

Fang He was awakened by the sudden feeling of entering the water. He opened his eyes and saw Li Zhen’s fruitful body. He was holding him with one hand, while his other hand was slashing him with water. Fang He then secretly licked his cat teeth, although he was very tired…he still wanted to see…

However, Li Zhen’s comfortable rubbing made Fang He, who didn’t want to sleep, fall asleep again.

After Li Zhen wiped his kitten dry, he hugged him to the bed. He knew that time was short, and he should be studying the extracted zombie tissue fluid, but this time his behavior surpassed his reason. Li Zhen, a workaholic, lay on the bed with Fang He in his arms.

Originally, he thought that Fang He, who was asleep, just wanted to position himself like a fur ball like last time. However, he hadn’t even held the soft fur ball in his hand for five minutes, his cat paws began to scratch, sometimes even the barbs appeared. 

At first Li Zhen thought his kitten was just tired and sleepy, but after a while, Li Zhen found something abnormal. His kitten began to murmur, speaking in vague words.

After murmuring for a while, it turned into a low meow. Even though he couldn’t completely understand it, Li Zhen could still hear the accusation and sadness in his words and meows.

“He-miao?” Li Zhen gently stroked Fang He’s fur, his soft fur was trembling slightly.

Li Zhen stretched out his hand to hold up the kitten’s chin. The kitten, who was squinting tightly, was breathing a bit sharply. His warm breath sprayed on the back of Li Zhen’s hand. Li Zhen has no body temperature, so he could not accurately sense the temperature of the kitten in his hands.

Li Zhen hugged his kitten and stood up hurriedly, and found the medicine box. Finally, he found the thermometer, and put it between the kitten’s hind legs. But before the time was up, Fang He suddenly opened his eyes, looking at him blankly.

Li Zhen called out softly, “He-miao?”

“Meow.”

With this sound, Fang He returned to his senses, then his cat paws covered his face, he couldn’t speak anymore. Should they cultivate? 

Li Zhen pressed the kitten’s body to prevent him from getting up, then tapped on the thermometer held in between Fang He’s legs, “Don’t move.”

Fang He stiffened and was about to die. He actually put the thermometer on his hind legs, where the fur is short, what a good poop shoveling official!

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

After five minutes passed, Li Zhen took out the thermometer. Looking at the temperature above, Li Zhen frowned slightly. He then realized that he wasn’t really sure what the normal body temperature of a cat should be.

Li Zhen stood there, looking at Fang He, whose head was buried in his cat paws. He suddenly reached out, and hugged Fang He. Their destination, the location of the Ancient Peach Tree!

In Li Zhen’s arms, Fang He flicked his tail listlessly. When they came under the Ancient Peach Tree, Fang He silently said in his heart, if he could turn back into a human, he would do anything. 

Originally, when Li Zhen was unconscious, he didn’t think there was anything strange about the movements between him and the kitten. When he sat cross-legged, while Fang He slowly made that strange movement over there, the corners of Li Zhen’s mouth twitched slightly before reaching out and holding the kitten’s two paws.

Fang He glared at Li Zhen, then began to used his ability. 

Before, Li Zhen hugged him in the lake for a while, therefore, his abilities have basically recovered. And now, once they went through it, he could feel signs of breaking through. Fang He roused his spirit and thrived to push through.

This practice is passive to Li Zhen. So he tried to help Fang He at the same time Fang He circulate his power, and discovered that this power could actually flow through his body, but he could not control it. 

Li Zhen opened his eyes and looked at the kitten squinting his eyes, trying hard to stimulate his power. Although cats are flexible, the way his hind paws overlap is definitely uncomfortable.

Does this practice really have to use this posture?

After a whole cycle, Fang He stopped the circulation of his power. He felt almost in full power, then Fang He suddenly opened his eyes. Before Li Zhen could even talk, his abilities suddenly skyrocketed, and Fang He almost passed out from the pain all over his body.

Li Zhen noticed this, and immediately reached out to support Fang He, then his healing power was constantly being poured into him. 

Fang He slowly got used to it. While his body was constantly being broken by the bursts of power, he was being healed by Li Zhen. After a while, this skyrocketing force calmed down, and Fang He was in pleasant surprise to find that his wind and speed abilities had both been upgraded from primary to level one.

No wonder his power skyrocketed so badly. In his previous life, he knew that the ability upgrade could only be done by single-attribute upgrades, and he never knew an upgrade with too many attributes at the same time.

Li Zhen could see that his kitten was very happy, so he reached out his hand and rubbed his kitten’s head, then unexpectedly, a complicated text and images rushed into his consciousness.

Fang He also noticed it. He was thinking of waiting for Li Zhen to recover and discuss with Li Zhen the matter of this cultivation method. Therefore, Fang He at this time, just stared with his cat eyes, waiting for Li Zhen to explain. Those characters are too complex, he still couldn’t understand them. 

Li Zhen raised his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows. Although this text is not long, it is extremely informative. The calligraphic style is the Qin seal, which contains the origin of the Peach-core Space, and the origin of the Ancient Peach Tree next to him. Of course, the key point is that there is a very powerful cultivation method in it. And this cultivation method is clearly written brightly as, The Peach Tree, to be of one mind, Double Cultivation Method…

Li Zhen skipped the previous paragraphs and carefully looked at the content of the cultivation method. After reading it, his eyes looked a little unspeakable at the kitten squatting on the ground with his head up and looking at him. 

“You really…” Li Zhen stretched out his hand and put Fang He on his crossed knees, “Speak the truth, how old are you and do you know Chinese?”

Fang He admitted awkwardly, “I’m twenty-one, I’m not illiterate, just…lacking.”

Therefore, the kitten in front of him knew nothing of what kind of cultivation method they were practicing. Li Zhen was speechless for a while, then stretched out his hand to teased Fang He’s ear, “Is it hot?”

Fang He nodded immediately. He already had doubts before, and now he could finally discuss it with Li Zhen, “You noticed it too? You also have a fever?” 

Li Zhen shook his head. He doesn’t have a body temperature, at least he hasn’t felt it yet. When his body recovers, it will be hard to say.

Fang He was puzzled. His cat paw then rubbed his ears, which were being teased, while pushing Li Zhen’s hand that wanted to scratch the other ear, “Why do I feel a bit thirsty and hot after practicing? Is there any problem with this cultivation method?”

Li Zhen immediately shook his head, “There’s nothing wrong with this cultivation method. You will slowly be able to adapt to it when you continue to practice it later in the future.”

Fang He nodded, there should be nothing wrong with listening to Li Zhen. Seeing Li Zhen’s confident look, he must be able to understand that complicated text. 

Li Zhen’s pure black eyes gleamed, and he didn’t tell Fang He something. In fact, this practice has another effect, it can transform spiritual animals and plants. He can now look forward to when this kitten is so caught off guard when he suddenly transforms, what kind of expression will he make then?

Moreover, Li Zhen was certain that there was no need for his kitten to use such strenuous posture. They only need this one person and one cat to hold each other’s hands and claws, and of course, they could try more postures after He-miao transforms.

By the way, does he still have to teach this kitten to read?

Fang He raised his head and looked at Li Zhen for a moment. He always felt that Li Zhen’s eyes were not right, was it his illusion? 

Sunnyshies: Oh, oh, just going to talk about leveling here. The zombie and mutant level is the same, but the intensity of power is different. Fang He explained it before, when they met a level one fire mutant zombie on the Agricultural Logistic Center scene.

Ordinary – normal human – ordinary zombies

Primary – mutant, who just awaken – mutant zombie (this is like Level 0)

Level 1 – mutant, upgrade ability – mutant zombie, upgrade ability 

…and so on…

In fact they are the same, except when it comes to the later part. At the mid part of the apocalypse, every zombie will evolve to have crystal nuclei. Though all of them have crystal nuclei, not all of them are mutant zombies. So, what’s the difference? Zombies with crystal nuclei will level up in terms of physical characteristics, while mutant zombies both have high physical stats and are an ability player.

Anyway, Fang He will explain it later, cause there will be other factor! And this leveling system ain’t important in the later plot lines.

And the cultivation method…hahaha I felt like Fang He was a cauldron…but what makes me laugh is the usually law of dual cultivation —the ying and yang combination. In their current situation, Fang He is Yang since he was the one alive, while Li Zhen is the Yin….hahaha. Li Zhen was completely passive, which means, Fang He is in control while they cultivate. And Fang He is also the one who mostly gain something from it.
