Chapter 779: Chapter 776: Can’t See Clearly

"Damn it, isn’t this testing my stability? My stability has never been good; I’m easily seduced since I’m still a virgin," Lin Tian thought wildly.

In his mind, two little figures were arguing whether to approach or not, yet suddenly, the sleeping Xiao Manxuan opened her eyes, startling Lin Tian, who instinctively wanted to hide.

However, he noticed that the little girl’s gaze was off, still groggy and not fully awake, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bad guy, what are you doing in my room? It must be a dream, just a dream..." Xiao Manxuan mumbled unclearly to herself, then closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

Lin Tian was caught between laughter and tears; dreaming to this extent was truly unprecedented. However, after that scare, Lin Tian felt the fire in his lower abdomen had subsided a lot, finally alleviating the awkwardness he faced.

It was important to focus on the task at hand. Lin Tian tried not to look at the little girl’s tempting long legs and directed his X-ray vision straight through, starting to examine Xiao Manxuan.

According to Miss, Xiao Manxuan had been suffering from a high fever for three days and nights due to a strange energy in her body, which only appeared under the stimulation of True Qi.

However, Lin Tian believed that the woman in white could not detect the energy because of her limited abilities, but he had X-ray vision, which he believed could lead him to the truth.

Based on his experience, Lin Tian thought this strange energy generally resided in the Dantian. His own Upper Elixir Field was occupied by the power of fire, while the Lower Elixir Field was taken by Taiyin Xuan Qi.

Therefore, Lin Tian’s first instinct was to scan towards Xiao Manxuan’s head, the Upper Elixir Field. Ordinary people couldn’t see meridians, and modern instruments couldn’t scan them either, as they couldn’t detect such microscopic entities.

But Lin Tian could. Through his X-ray vision, he could not only see the meridians but also the Dantian. Xiao Manxuan’s Dantian was a dark void, completely empty.

Lin Tian’s probing gaze tried to delve deeper, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn’t find the edges of the Dantian, and he couldn’t even feel its orientation.

This wasn’t a three-dimensional space; it seemed like time didn’t pass there, simply existing, only disappearing with the person’s life and death.

Lin Tian had felt this situation more than once, because his own Dantian was similar. His probing gaze continued deeper, but still, he found nothing.

Could it not be in the Upper Elixir Field? Lin Tian wondered, retracting his gaze, then scanning downwards, this time searching the Lower Elixir Field.

The Lower Elixir Field was similar to the Upper, a void of nothingness, and moreover, according to the practices of Ancient Martial Artists, the True Qi they generated was stored at the Lower Elixir Field.

If Xiao Manxuan’s high fever was caused by True Qi stimulating her body, Lin Tian speculated that the energy within her must be hidden in the Lower Elixir Field, as it was closest to the True Qi of an Ancient Martial Artist.

Yet, once again, contrary to his expectations, there was no energy in the Lower Elixir Field, just an empty void.

"How could this be?" Lin Tian withdrew his gaze, frowning. If it wasn’t in either Elixir Field, where else could it be hidden?

In a human’s body, whether it’s True Qi or any other energy, there must be a place for storage; the Dantian is like a container, energy like water, the container holds the water, the Dantian holds the energy or True Qi.

Lin Tian thought that as he was not an Ancient Martial Artist, some of his understanding might not be comprehensive enough, and there could be other places where energy could be hidden. He swept out his X-ray vision once again.

This time, from head to toe, he didn’t overlook the hundreds of acupoints in the body, and even checked all internal organs. However, the more he checked, the more his heart sank, because he found nothing!

"Damn it, what exactly is it, could it be on the same level as the Taiyin Xuan Qi in my body?" Lin Tian thought anxiously and uneasily.

Given the current situation, Lin Tian could only guess that this thing, undetectable even by X-ray vision, must be of such a high level that it far exceeded the scope of X-ray vision, and was much more advanced than the zombie’s Eye.

In Lin Tian’s body resided the Taiyin Xuan Qi and the power of fire, both of which he couldn’t see through his X-ray vision, as they were too advanced. The situation inside Xiao Manxuan’s body might be similar.

Just as ants are indeed in a four-dimensional space, but they can only perceive two dimensions. In the world perceived by ants, there is only left, right, forward, and backward, with no concept of up and down. Four-dimensional space is simply too advanced for ants.

Humans are the same, where currently our technology can only detect four-dimensional space. Fifth, sixth dimensions, and even more dimensions beyond, are undiscoverable by humans.

Lin Tian didn’t know whether this was a good or bad thing, but now his Taiyin Xuan Qi and the power of fire were precious treasures that could save his life in critical moments.

If the energy inside Xiao Manxuan was like this, Lin Tian would be relieved, but unfortunately, everything was unknown at the moment.

He had thought that with the zombie’s Eye of Clarity, he might discover something, but he ended up finding nothing, leaving Lin Tian somewhat unwilling to accept it, but what could he do about his reluctance?

"Second Miss, for the first time, I feel powerless, and I once thought I could be invincible in the world, even confident that I could defeat Xu Feibai in the future. But now, I realize there is too much that I cannot understand."

"Taiyin Xuan Qi, power of fire, and the energy or strange thing inside you, these elements are too advanced, and I, as I am now, simply don’t have the qualifications to probe them," Lin Tian murmured to himself softly.

However, Lin Tian was not one to give up easily, and this thought was just a fleeting one. Although he couldn’t identify what it was, Lin Tian still had things he could do.

The first was to enhance his Eye of Clarity, and the second was to improve his medical skills. Medical skills could save Xiao Manxuan in emergencies, or even cure her completely, while enhancing the level of the Eye of Clarity would reveal the energy inside Xiao Manxuan.

Lin Tian had always thought that the Eye of Clarity could not be enhanced, but a recent epiphany, which extended the range of his X-ray vision, showed that his Eye of Clarity was still at a basic level and had great potential for improvement.

He once read a Buddhist scripture that according to Buddhist records, there are five levels of Divine Skills related to the eyes: the Physical Eye, Heavenly Eye, Wisdom Eye, Dharma Eye, and Buddha’s Eye, with the Physical Eye being the lowest and the Buddha’s Eye the highest.

Back then, Lin Tian thought it was just a bluff, but now, he felt there might be some truth to it.

As there were Ancient Martial cultivators, there should be those who cultivated Buddhist teachings too. The last time Lin Tian encountered the old Zen master at Fanyin Temple chanting the "Heart Sutra," the air vibrated, reducing people’s pain, and he could easily face numerous vampires, ninjas, and others.

It must be acknowledged that some seemingly unfathomable records might actually hold some truths about the hidden world, that ordinary people simply cannot understand.
