Fang Yi chatted absentmindedly with the Zhu family father and son while pondering how to control the released elixir energy.
He knew how to control it within his body,
and even when his soul left his body.
But how to control it while maintaining his bio-energy field within his body? He truly couldn't think of a way.
"Wait a minute, since elixir energy can be released, can the energy of the bio-energy field be released as well?"
Fang Yi felt he had overlooked something.
From the moment he first encountered magic until now, he had been thinking about using elixir energy to manipulate water molecules.
But in reality, the golden core was more like a power source, and elixir energy was like an electric current, providing energy to the bio-energy field.
What truly played a decisive role was the bio-energy field.
This could be seen from his previous use of illusion magic.
The power of the golden core had to flow through the bio-energy field into the constructed illusion model to take effect.
"Could it be because of this?"
Fang Yi roughly knew what to do.
He began to try to "activate" the bio-energy field with elixir energy, instead of actively leaving his body.
Originally, the strength of the bio-energy field was constant, like an engine that actively absorbed the energy converted from the food the body ate to maintain the body's operation.
Only when the soul leaves the body does the bio-energy field construct linear bridges with the body, continuously absorbing energy from the golden core to maintain its operation.
These linear bridges act like electrical wires, transmitting energy from the golden core.
However, this time, Fang Yi actively "transmitted" electricity to the bio-energy field without leaving his body. The bio-energy field instinctively assumed he was about to leave his body and immediately extended linear bridges.
The process was almost identical to when the soul leaves the body.
The difference was that the soul remained inside, while the "wires" carried the energy of the golden core and roamed freely in the outside world.
This state consumed significantly more energy than directly using the energy of the golden core, but less than leaving the body.
Initially, there was nothing unusual about the bio-energy lines spreading out.
However, when the bio-energy lines extended into the bedroom,
Fang Yi clearly "saw" every inch of the room.
A television, a wardrobe, a dressing table, and a mahogany bed in the center.
As the bio-energy lines extended further outward, he even heard the sound of rain.
He also saw raindrops sliding past his "eyes"!
As the bio-energy lines extended to the ground, they "heard" the voices of a couple arguing in the rain.
"Why did you do this to me? Why did you go to a hotel with her?" the woman said, sounding agitated.
The man's voice was gentle, yet he uttered sleazy words, "I swear I only love you, even when I'm sleeping with her, you're the only one on my mind."
Pfft!
Fang Yi was amused.
Then he heard Zhu Changqing's surprised voice, "Master, what are you laughing at?"
Fang Yi looked to the side and quickly said, "Sorry, I heard the couple arguing downstairs and found it a bit funny, so I couldn't help but laugh."
Perhaps due to a lack of concentration, the flow of dan qi stopped, and the bio-energy lines suddenly retracted.
Zhu Changqing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, saying, "So that's how it is. I thought you were laughing at my dad for saying my mom died young and didn't meet you, otherwise, with your cultivation, you could definitely have kept my mom alive for a few more years."
Fang Yi heard this, but his attention was completely focused on controlling the bio-energy lines, and he hadn't paid attention to the conversation at all. "I was experimenting with how to cast spells, I wasn't listening, sorry."
Zhu Changqing's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Master, do you mean you can cast spells?"
Zhu Shounian looked at him curiously.
Fang Yi hummed in agreement, "I've almost found the method, but I still need to explore it a bit more."
Zhu Changqing didn't dare to disturb him any further and quickly said, "You continue, my dad and I won't bother you for now."
"Okay."
Fang Yi didn't say anything more and closed his eyes again, concentrating entirely on controlling the bio-energy lines.
While controlling the bio-energy lines, he secretly marveled that these bio-energy lines were exactly the same as the legendary divine sense.
There must have been extraordinary people like himself in ancient times, but why have they disappeared in modern society?
Gradually, the bio-energy lines spread farther and farther, even covering the entire city of Suzhou.
This was already the limit of Fang Yi's spiritual power.
He roughly analyzed that the bio-energy lines could spread out to a radius of about forty kilometers,
which is equivalent to covering 1,600 square kilometers.
This coverage would be blocked by objects.
For example, it could only penetrate about one kilometer underground.
However, it could spread to the sky for fifty or sixty kilometers.
This was probably because there was soil underground, while the sky was almost empty.
However, maintaining such a large coverage area consumed a huge amount of energy.
Fang Yi felt as if the energy of his dantian had been turned on, rushing out desperately.
If he maintained it at the limit distance, the power of his golden core would probably be drained in no time.
He was immediately startled and pulled back the bio-energy lines, and the consumption gradually decreased.
The farther the distance, the greater the consumption.
At the same time, Fang Yi secretly speculated that this should be the farthest distance his spiritual power could leave his physical body.
Perhaps in the future, when the bio-energy field becomes stronger, the distance could be even greater.
He kept trying to find the range where the consumption of the life energy lines was less.
The results of the experiment came quickly.
Energy consumption was minimal within a one-kilometer radius.
Almost no consumption within a hundred meters.
Fang Yi contracted the bio-energy lines to a hundred-meter radius around his physical body, then tried to wrap the falling raindrops with the bio-energy lines, forcing them to condense together.
Soon, the raindrops condensed into a large water sphere.
Because it was wrapped by the bio-energy lines, the water sphere hovered in the air and did not fall.
However, when Fang Yi removed the wrapping of the bio-energy lines, the water sphere crashed down with a whoosh.
It was as if someone had poured a bucket of water from the sky onto the ground!
"The energy consumption is still very high."
Fang Yi frowned. Judging from the energy consumption of condensing the large water sphere, his current Golden Core strength could only condense enough water for a standard swimming pool at most, far from being able to create a massive impact.
Zhu Changqing, not seeing any movement, anxiously asked, "Master, what's wrong? Is it not working?"
"It's possible, but there are still some small problems to solve."
Fang Yi stared at the book.
Zhu Shounian inquired, "What small problem?"
Fang Yi casually replied, "I can only control a limited amount of water using the power of my Golden Core."
"Control water using the power of your Golden Core?" Zhu Changqing countered.
Fang Yi hummed in agreement. "Why?"
Zhu Changqing pointed to a book and reminded him, "Master, don't blame me for being nosy, but look at what's written at the beginning of this book."
Fang Yi smiled, "I know."
Zhu Changqing asked, puzzled, "Then why are you still using the power of your Golden Core to control it?"
Fang Yi didn't explain and prepared to try casting the spell again.
Yes!
He already knew that he should use the natural environment to control water molecules instead of liquid water.
The reason he did that earlier was simply to verify whether the life energy lines could touch matter.
He found that it could, but unfortunately, it consumed a lot of energy.
Fang Yi once again extended the bio-energy lines outwards to the outside world and then tried to control the water.
However, this time he didn't directly control the water droplets, but rather the water molecules that formed the droplets.
The water droplets were relatively heavy; a normal droplet of water weighs about one-twentieth of a gram.
It was normal for the bio-energy lines to struggle in controlling a large flow of water.
A single drop of water is about one-twentieth of a milliliter, containing approximately one trillion trillion water molecules.
Therefore, the mass of a normal water molecule is about one twenty-trillion-trillionth of a gram, practically weightless.
Bio-energy lines are a powerful form of energy, easily altering the trajectory of water molecules.
Fang Yi only needs to break the water droplet down into water molecules, then use the bio-energy lines to "drive" the water molecules to their desired locations, finally condensing them into liquid water.
Furthermore, because water molecules are so small, they will rise on their own through convection even without human intervention, saving considerable energy consumption.
A person certainly couldn't lift a thousand pounds at once, but if that thousand pounds were divided into twenty fifty-pound portions, it would be much easier—even a normal adult could do it.
This is similar to the energy required to manipulate water droplets and molecules.
The whole process may sound complex,
but the principle is actually very simple.
This involves the water cycle.
Why does water evaporate?
Because absorbing heat increases the gaps between water molecules, causing them to change from a liquid to a gaseous state.
How then does water vapor transform into liquid water?
It's simply a matter of water molecules shrinking when they cool.
Therefore, even without the heating and cooling process, as long as the gaps between water molecules can be altered, the evaporation and condensation cycle can
still be achieved. The gaps between water molecules are invisible to the naked eye, let alone altered.
Fang Yi, in his divine soul state, cannot observe the three types of sixty-two colored particles that constitute the world's matter; observing these particles requires immersing one's mind in a divine model.
However, he can see other substances composed of these three types of sixty-two colored particles.
Water molecules are one of them.
Bio-energy lines are energy, and water molecules have little weight.
He can easily push or compress the distance between water molecules, even altering their trajectory, thus controlling water, and even consuming very little by utilizing natural forces such as wind and convection.
Zhu Changqing, Zhu Shounian, and Xiao Li, seeing Fang Yi fall silent again, were somewhat amused and exasperated.
However, at that moment, a shocking scene unfolded!
The three saw that the half-full cup of water in Zhu Shounian's teacup on the table not far away suddenly seemed to "come alive," transforming into a stream of water that flew backward into the air.
Zhu Shounian asked in surprise, "Master, you're controlling water?"
Fang Yi nodded, "Yes."
Zhu Changqing blinked, "Is your water control magic that weak? Can you only control such a small amount of water?"
Xiao Li thought so too. At first glance, it seemed magical, but what could you do with just half a cup of water?
Fang Yi smiled, "Not at all. I'm just trying to control the flow of water. Naturally, I can't control much. Oh well, since you're interested, I'll control more water for you to see."
"Okay."
"Please, Master, perform the spell."
The father and son were extremely excited.
Fang Yi pointed to the window and said, "You two stand by the window and watch. I can't perform it properly inside the house."
Zhu Shounian and Zhu Changqing quickly got up and went to the window to look outside.
Xiao Li also watched intently.
The next moment, they saw the raindrops falling from the sky and the water on the ground seem to defy gravity, actually converging towards the sky, eventually growing larger and larger, like a giant water ball suspended in the air.
But that wasn't all. Fang Yi pointed, and the giant water sphere outside the window instantly transformed into a water dragon, soaring and circling the apartment building.
This scene stunned the father and son, as well as Xiao Li standing at the kitchen door!
Zhu Shounian was deeply moved. "Master, stop your magic. Don't frighten the others."
"Okay,"
Fang Yi replied, then manipulated the water dragon to shoot into the sky.
The three of them witnessed an astonishing scene and gasped in unison.
A white, brocade-like water dragon shot upwards, soaring deep into the clouds.
It was like a waterfall cascading from the sky!
Or perhaps the Milky Way falling to earth!
However, this scene was short-lived. As soon as the water dragon completely disappeared into the clouds, it vanished.
Immediately afterward, the raindrops outside, which had been drizzling, suddenly grew larger.
This situation also didn't last long, and the raindrops returned to normal.
Well, Fang Yi was too lazy to use his energy to break the water dragon down into water molecules and disperse, so he simply guided it into freefall as raindrops.
But Zhu Shounian, Zhu Changqing, and Xiaoli were dumbfounded, finally understanding how incredible a real person was—able to reverse the cycle of nature; it was truly awe-inspiring.
