Stray Chapter 16: Control quality

Material, energy, information... These are the three basic elements that make up the grand system of "world".

Xia Ran's current knowledge of mysticism spans several world systems. Although most of them are on the magical side, this is the first time he has come into contact with the Immortal Dao system, but it does not affect his discovery of frameworks, systems, or even the essence of everything.

Substance is energy, energy is also a kind of matter, and information is information, neither energy nor matter, but there is also a close relationship between matter and energy.

Material is the carrier of energy, but it is not all; energy is an external manifestation of material excitation, and it is also a material; as for information, it can be used to describe and characterize matter and energy.

So

Without matter nothing exists, without energy everything is dead, without information everything is meaningless.

If you have to give an explanation, then the integration and utilization of matter and energy is the foundation and starting point of all practice systems. To describe this process and characterize it through information is to formulate the manifestation of power and create a mysterious base system.

Let it become a mysterious route that can be copied and spread, can be recorded, mastered, and used by others...

So, after seeing the nature of the power system from this unique perspective, if you can fundamentally grasp the information and integrate quality and energy, then of course you can transform your own energy into any system at will.

This is the breakthrough that Xia Ran found. As for why he embarked on this path...

That's because for more than a month, he has been constantly failing, failing, failing, in addition to failing, always in an endless cycle of failure...not even able to Find something useful out of failure.

Although he failed every time, he would take a slow and unhurried self-examination, carefully reflect on it, find the reason for his failure, sum up his experience, and avoid the previous wrong ideas, from a new perspective Do the next experiment.

It is not easy to persevere, and the pain it brings is second. In many cases, if the feedback of the desired results is not obtained or the practice is wrong, and the development is different from the expected development, he will doubt the thinking this time, and even I suspect that I may be thinking too much.

And when he came to a dead end, he realized that he really thought too much.

The repeated blows made Xia Ran a little annoyed, but she didn't lose her patience. Instead, she went to talk to Mrs. Hu San for a while, but the practice was unsuccessful, but Xia Ran still had theoretical knowledge. Very rich, the fox was so swayed that he couldn't find the north.

Besides, Xia Ran's goal is just too lofty, and she wants to control the essence of mystery instead of cultivating the mysterious system, so she can't open up a path for a while. If he really just wants to cultivate immortals and refine the Dao, he will not be able to get started, and even if he is proficient, it will not take too much time.

The third master fox just eats this way. He thinks that Xia Ran is a real master of Taoism. Even if he has not cultivated into an immortal body, his cultivation level is estimated to be far beyond that of an earth immortal, so he is regarded by the other party as an immortal. The treatment of being a Taoist made him extremely happy.

It's not just people who want to ask for approval, it's the same with demons too. Mr. Hu San just wants to get the attention and respect of others.

Seizing this opportunity, Xia Ran carefully explored the power possessed by this fox, as well as the unique inner alchemy

The path for a monster to become an immortal is to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, refine it into a unique inner alchemy body protector, and then cultivate into an immortal... It is more or less a scattered immortal, and it should be used as a reference.

And half a month ago, Scholar Xia also came back, and they got to know each other a little. It was a friend. Xia Ran naturally didn't just think about the fox fur of the third master of the fox, but also brought Xia Yuanchen's Together, we analyzed both of them.

Slowly, he really found a breakthrough that he had ignored.

It should be said that that thing has been dangling in front of him all the time, so he never cared about it, just like air, although it is very important, it will always be ignored...and that thing is indeed "qi".

Dao runs through the three talents as one ear, the sky operates with qi, the earth operates with qi, the yin and yang are turbulent with qi, the wind and thunder are turbulent with qi, the human body breathes with qi, and the Dao method is inspired by qi...

Or should I say "Qi".

This is the beginning of everything. One qi gives birth to all things. The scattered shape of "Tao" is qi. It can be said that all metaphysical or metaphysical phenomena come from this.

Starting from this concept, Xia Ran, a magician, thought of the fifth element, ether, as a necessary medium for integrating with the four elements to form a form. It seems invisible and useless, but it is indispensable.

It does not have any attributes in itself, it is not a thing, but something that will become something, because it can be turned into any one of the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind, and constitute all the elements of the world.

It just so happens that Xia Ran's own magic attribute, according to the goddess Medea, represents the empty attribute of the fifth element.

While it may not seem uncommon, does a lost person really have the magical properties of a particular world to speak of? Moreover, Medea at that time was very meaningful, and if she pointed at it, it always made Xia Ran a little strange, wondering if she saw something, such as the physique of the lost person?

Any system is suitable and compatible, including evolution?

But this is not important. No matter how vicious Medea's eyes are, she can't predict the problems that Xia Ran will face today. Just recalling this incident and connecting all the clues together, Xia Ran found a rather whimsical route again.

I don't want to be limited by the physical "tool" and want to break all the frameworks, so why not start with the most essential matter, energy, and information?

If you can leverage the foundation of everything from this aspect, then it should be very simple to reshape your own system.

And after finding the right idea, he also found that he has been forgetting one thing, the absolute terror field is actually not suitable for the main combat aspect, its most important is a strong auxiliary ability.

The realm expands, and all the laws and events within it are formulated by him.

He can not only observe the flow and changes of the most basic matter, energy, and information, but he can indeed control them, so he can also transform his body and conduct experiments on himself.

Then

He just blew himself up... This is the first time he died because of his practice.

Well, not the last time, nor the only time, it's just the first time. Just like the opening and passage of any road, this road is destined to be full of hardships and blood.

Originally speaking, it is reasonable to say that one is neither a sage nor a god, so any path cannot be traversed by one person, but is built on the basis of countless people's hardships and successes... ...but there are always exceptions.

Xia Ran is like that, he's not alone...literally.

……

……

In the small town, inside the inn.

The magician sits at the edge of the table, tilting his head with one hand on his chin, looking at the town scenery outside the window, the gloomy sky is covered with gray clouds, the sound of rain is coming, and the sky is occasionally heard The muffled thunder...

"...I heard what Master Yan said in the past, I thought it was just exaggerated nonsense, but I didn't expect to see it today, but it really lives up to its reputation, no, it should be said that it is better to meet with fame..."

In front of him, there was a gentle-looking gentleman, and behind him stood five or six fierce-looking dogs. On the surface, he looked like a real playboy, but in fact it was.

Brother Young Master seems to be polite and polite, but his frenzy and greed, and when he looks at the head maid next to Xia Ran from time to time, his eyes hide the evil and excitement

But it's a monster whose psychic power can be compared to that of Professor X.

Even if he hides it well, it doesn't make any sense.

It's just that this young man, who is said to be the only child of the local magistrate, may think that he is hiding quite well, but he doesn't know that he is completely exposed, and he doesn't even know that if the person on the opposite side becomes black, it will be much more scary than him.

"Okay, that's all for now..."

Xia Ran tapped on the table lightly, and said lightly, interrupting the other party's polite words.

"Since you're here because of fame, it's not just to talk about your feelings, let's be more direct. What do you want from me?"

Brother Young Master was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't seem to be annoyed, he just folded his hands and smiled like a spring breeze:

"Xiongtai is really quick to talk, so I'll just say it... I've always been interested in talking about Master Yan since I was a child, but I just couldn't get it because of my hard work, and it's not until now..."

"You want to buy a mechanic doll from me?" The magician interrupted his explanation, somewhat disdainfully.

This person is just like that. He is not sincere at all. If he hadn't seen the charm and delicacy of his head maid, what kind of legendary Yanshi skills would he be interested in? The legendary Yan Shi, gives the impression that he is an organ made of wood knots!

"That's right, that's it, please don't push back, I would rather pay a thousand dollars to show my sincerity..." The son said loudly.

"Well, I agree, hand over your sincerity." Xia Ran nodded directly, expressing recognition of the other party's sincerity, as long as the other party offered her daughter.

"Uh..." The county magistrate was stunned. Isn't this plot not right? !

As he expected, either the other party was disdainful of giving him face, and he just naturally got angry and found a reason to put the other party in the yamen prison, so as to achieve the purpose of robbing him; or the other party was knowledgeable and interested , Obediently said that he didn't need any remuneration, and he gave all his hands, and he could still get everything with peace of mind.

The only thing I didn't think about was that the other party just agreed... What a joke, this person actually has the guts to accept his daughter? Why do you want to give him thousands of dollars? !

Young Master Wanqian's face was red and then white, and it took a long while to squeeze out an ugly smile: "Your Excellency promised so readily, are you kidding me?"

"No, the money is in place, everything is easy to say."

Xia Ran's face looks like you made a lot of money.

“…”

“…”

"Hmph! Master Yan's argument is simply nonsense. You are a daring thief, and you still want to deceive this young master?! It's a pity that you deceived the wrong person!"

The dandy boy suddenly slapped the table and said angrily

"You don't even know that the girl behind you has always been my son's personal maid. She was kidnapped by thieves a few days ago. This son came here today for this reason. I still want to get off my guilt with those rhetoric, come here..."

At the same time, the dog-legs behind him rolled up their sleeves, their eyes gleaming fiercely, knowing that their master had turned his face.

The head maid said nothing behind her master, looking at the farce in front of her, there was no mockery in her eyes, but only calm.

There are always some brain-dead monkeys in this world. Because of their privileges among the monkeys, they feel that they are the monkeys above the monkeys. Anyway, such a role has to be played by someone, so why can't it be the brain-dead in front of me? Woolen cloth?
