Because there was almost no process for his enlightenment. After obtaining the “Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures”, he had completed the entire process of enlightenment, so he did not experience how to enlighten himself.
Surprised, Ye Chen couldn’t help but sigh: “It seems that enlightenment really depends on talent and opportunity. Only a few people can do it by looking inside, and even fewer can look inside the sea of consciousness. It’s very rare, let alone integrating the divine consciousness with the sea of consciousness on these foundations… Nanako, you have both talent and opportunity, that’s why you were able to achieve enlightenment so early.”
Ito Nanako nodded and smiled: “Nanako is actually not very interested in enlightenment. She just thinks that if I succeed in enlightenment, I will have more time and opportunities to accompany Ye Chenjun in the future, so I feel full of motivation.”
Ye Chen was moved in his heart, but he couldn’t help but sigh: “It’s a pity that I don’t have a suitable mental method for practicing spiritual energy. Otherwise, I can share it with you and make progress together.”
Nanako Ito smiled and said: “Ye Chen-kun, don’t be depressed. There is still a long way to go. Maybe you will find an opportunity to go further at some time.”
Ye Chen nodded slightly in agreement and said, “Yes, don’t worry about this, there will definitely be a chance in the future.”
After that, he thought of something, quickly took out a Peiyuan Pill, handed it to Nanako and said: “Nanako, although you have realized the Tao now, you have no mental method at hand and no naturally existing spiritual energy around you. It is very difficult to improve your strength. It’s difficult, even if you want to increase the spiritual energy in your body, it’s difficult. This pill is specially used to replenish spiritual energy. You should take it first and give it a try!”
Although Ito Nanako had just gained enlightenment not long ago, she had already realized a very critical problem, that is, the amount of spiritual energy available to her was pitifully small, and there were almost no external channels for obtaining spiritual energy.
For today’s ascetics, obtaining spiritual energy is the biggest difficulty. There is no spiritual energy in the world, so the only external channels for obtaining it are pills, spiritual stones or formations.
If a person has a complete cultivation of the mind method, he can generate spiritual energy in the body by running the mind method, but for people like Ye Chen and Nanako who do not have the mind method, this road of self-sufficiency is not feasible.
Therefore, the small amount of spiritual energy generated in Nanako’s body when she attained enlightenment was basically exhausted after trying the spiritual energy perception.
Ye Chen is slightly better than Nanako. The spiritual stones he got by chance in the early days provided him with a lot of spiritual energy. Later, relying on the Peiyuan Pill, he could barely make up for the gap in spiritual energy.
Although Ye Chen couldn’t help Nanako improve her cultivation, fortunately, he could provide Nanako with pill help.
Nanako naturally knew that Ye Chen’s elixir must be very precious. Seeing that Ye Chen gave him one without hesitation, she subconsciously wanted to decline it politely.
But she suddenly thought of another question. If she wanted to improve her strength and worry more about Ye Chen, she must accept the pill given by Ye Chen.
Otherwise, why should I talk about walking with him?
Thinking of this, she looked at Ye Chen and said with great sincerity: “Mr. Ye Chen, Nanako knows nothing about Taoism, but her determination to practice with Ye Chen and go on together can be learned from the sun and the moon. If Ye Chen doesn’t dislike it, I will work hard to take care of Ye Chen in the future.” Got it!”
Ye Chen was moved, nodded slightly and said with a smile: “You are my only Taoist friend. I hope you can improve your cultivation as soon as possible and wish me a helping hand in the future!”
With that said, Ye Chen handed the elixir to her.
Nanako Ito reached out and took the elixir, and then asked Ye Chen: “Ye Chen-kun, should I take it all at once, or take it in multiple doses?”
