Chapter 7 - Benefits of knowledge

Haaaa~

I have a few ideas that I very much would like to test out, but I do not such capabilities now. I guess I'll just do what I can now.

As I paid attention to the real 『Yin-Yang cycle』, I noticed that besides the purity, even the amount of Yin and Yang Qi in the cycle is slowly increasing. Barely a strand of Yin and Yang each has been produced in 10x the usual time interval.

It looks quite minuscule, but it's actually quite substantial. After all, something is being created from nothing. It seems that the key is the phantom 『1』in the 1+1=3 equation. It's much slower compared to the previous 'cycle', but no Qi is being consumed at all, so it's much more efficient. Rather than 'cycle', I think I should call it converter. An amazing one with the efficiency of 3/2 x 100% = 150% in converting Yin and Yang Qi into Neutral Qi.

*wooong~*

Hmm? Oh? It seems like the cycle has finished purifying all the Qi within it.... and it seems to be attracting all the Yin and Yang Qi? It's amazing. It's a self-driving generator, a literal eternal cycle.

What a way to achieve one of the grandest goals of science, generating more energy than the input, essentially creating energy.

And I did it as a toddler. Heck not even a toddler, I'm barely a day old, just a newborn. Oof. I hope it doesn't cause any alarms or rouse any greed from others. It would be a huge pain to deal with.

I wonder if other cultivators can sense what's going on in my heart??

"Drink well~ and grow up fast and healthily~" An Xin prayed as she cheerfully hummed.

I guess not. Not yet. Maybe those cultivators with divine sense or something could? I might need to take the cycle down and put it back up afterwards. When I can afford to, I should practice. Best to anticipate and prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. I wonder if my parents have reached the level of having divine sense or something..

As I finally diverted my attention away from my first masterpiece, I suddenly noticed the presence of large amounts of neutral Qi within my stomach and mom's milk.

So that's why it was so hard to find Yin and Yang Qi. It was mainly filled with this much more difficult to detect neutral Qi.

The uninformed would assume it was just normal delicious breast milk.

I guess I have Mom's inadequacy with this milk improving technique to thank for. Or maybe it's actually the inadequacy of the technique.

Yang Qi and Yin Qi by itself would be rather dangerous to the newborns, (I know, coz' I had first-hand experience with the Yang Qi in my heart, duh) while in the tiny amounts it is present in the milk, it would be mostly harmless with the comparatively huge amounts of neutral Qi serving as a decent buffer.

Perhaps long term soaking or just being in the presence of this 'neutral Qi', as I call it, is beneficial to newborns in some way. Either way, I currently have no way to find out beforehand. I guess the only way is to experience it. I'll just let things happen, and observe the results, and then try out a few of my hypothesises and see if there's any improvement.

Hmm? what's going on? There's nothing coming out? *chup chiup* *chuuuuuuu~up*

"Hmnah?! Oh! There's no milk already. Yan Yan must be very hungry, is my milk that delicious? Fufufu~, mommy's very happy~ Hold on okay? Let mommy switch sides." An Xin delightedly exclaimed.

An Xin carefully changed the hands holding me and spun me around, letting me rest on her forearm, and drew me closer to her left breast.

"Here, drink slowly. There there, there's no need to rush, you might choke." An Xin gently chided me as she stroked my head with her right hand this time.

Come to think of it, now that I've properly sorted out my excitement.... just how am I understanding mom's words, even if I am in another world?

....Chi...nese..? ...😳 ..Fuck. ...it had to be a language I had trouble grasping. I hope the script is the modern version...probably not. Haaaaaaa..... I guess I just have to handle the ball I've been tossed now.

What am I going to do? All well. What's going to happen, will happen. I will cross the bridge when I get to it. For now, let's just enjoy the milk. And observe the neutral Qi. I'm pretty curious about it's uses.

Let's see the neutral Qi that I've swallowed so far... it's all gathering in my stomach for now, and it doesn't seem to be doing anything? It's just sitting occupying all the space there is...Just like as it did in my heart. I really don't see any benefit for now. I guess this is going to be a long term thing huh.

*chuup* *chiuuuu~up*

Hmm? Oh. I've already drank everything. Just in time I guess? I'm getting.... very.. sleepy....

"Oooh.... Fufufu, my milk was so delicious you drank everything huh, Yan Yan? Sorry that I don't have anymore. Are you still hungry?" An Xin worriedly asked.

Need... to.. sleep... ..eyelids.... are... so ...heavy.

"Oh? Yan Yan has had enough? You look very sleepy~ ufufu, then sleep well..." An Xin softly whispered while swaying me back and forth a little.

...Okay. Mom.

*bupdup* *buddup* *bupdup* *buddup*

Yet again, mom's heartbeat resounds in my ears as I fall into sleep.
