When I had modified Lingfeng’s stones, I had stumbled upon the fact that they can be “overcharged”. This seriously made me think about what could be achieved by using such overcharged stones. I most certainly will have to try and use them as catalysts for the Pill Forge. But first, I had to find out exactly how much extra Qi could be stuffed inside one of the spirit stones before it blows up. And for that matter, I needed to also find out what happens when a stone actually did blow up.
Therefore, I headed to the forges, and I asked Bang if there was any sort of object that they had lying around that resembled a wall of metal.
Sure enough, I found what I was looking for when we stumbled upon the broken frame of an old war chariot. The interior was made out of wood, but the outside had been plated with thick sheets of steel which seemed, I hoped, thick enough to ward off a blast from an exploding spirit stone or an alchemical concoction.
The piece of the broken chariot had been rather cheap, because it was considered to be just metal scrap waiting for meltdown. I had Fungus carry it back to my house, so now I had my own makeshift blast wall to play around with.
I placed the broken chariot frame upside-down, so the former chariot floor would protect my head in case of an explosion, and then I began to fiddle with the spirit stones. I began to stuff more and more Qi inside of a single cell from an empty spirit stone, until Timmy told me that it had reached 130% and was at “critical capacity”. I had started off with Air Qi, since I thought that it would be the least dangerous to play around with. I was not ready to go and play with the Fire version yet, because I assumed those WOULD turn into veritable grenades once overcharged.
I then pushed another extra Qi mote inside of the “critical” chamber with only one of my branch-tentacles, while I was carefully ducking behind my makeshift cover. Immediately, the thing blew up just like a new year’s firecracker. It also hurt like hell! I do not know if you ever had an accident with a new year’s petard going off prematurely in your hands, but it felt exactly like that. The tip of my branch-tentacle got shredded by the blast, and was looking pretty roughened up, so I had to “patch it up” using Qi-strings and perform “Qi Stitching” on it. It would take days for it to heal, but I had learned a valuable lesson. If only a single “chamber” could unleash so much energy, then what if the whole stone was full? And with Fire Qi?
I had to be very careful about “overcharging” such a stone though. If something like that blew up in my face, I do not think even this steel shelter would be able to save me. I was betting on the full blast of such a thing being more on the side of a mini-nuke rather than that of a grenade.
Which led me to a certain line of thought. Why WAS Fire Qi so much more violent than the rest of the elemental Qi’s? I know that it’s like “basic logic DUH, Fire Qi blows shit up or sets things on fire,” but I was aiming deeper, at the reason WHY it did that in the first place.
Elemental Qi’s were “representatives” of the states of matter, with Fire Qi being the “plasma” state of matter, which is a high energy form and it is usually very volatile. The main reason as to why you do not see any “room temperature plasma” anywhere in nature is because the stuff is just too volatile to survive on its own, it’s energy quickly diffusing into the rest of the environment. It’s why flames are so short lived, since flames (as well as lightning) are forms of plasma, albeit containing different amounts of energy inside of them. Which would also make Lightning Qi just an energetically overcharged version of Fire Qi. The moment a flame is cut off from the fuel that is creating it, it vanishes and dies as its much-too-volatile energy dissipates back into nature.
But since I was able to move the Fire Qi from the environment with my Spiritual Root branch-tentacles, then did that mean that I had some sort of ability to control the energy in the environment?
What if I were to take Fire Qi and stuff it together with Water Qi inside a spirit stone cell? After how many motes of Fire would the Water Qi turn into Steam Qi?
I began to shove Water and Fire Qi motes together inside the same cell, and they began reacting violently together, diffusing into one another. With each Fire Qi mote I was stuffing inside, the more the Water Qi seemed to “boil”, until after a certain point it simply turned into Steam Qi, which was considered to be a subcategory of the Air Qi.
Well, that kind of settles it. I then guess that there’s Fire Qi mixed with everything around me then. No, calling it Fire Qi would be wrong, that should just be reserved for the plasma state of matter only, this other thing should just be called what it is, and that’s thermal energy, or Thermal Qi.
Then, if everything around me has a certain “dose” of thermal Qi stored inside, I should be able to “see” it with my Spirit Roots just the same as I do with the other Qi types.
Ok Trina, tune your mind to only feel the Thermal Qi. Feel it everywhere around you, inside of you.
The world around me slowly begins to blossom into gold. Anything and everything now shows a certain amount of golden Thermal Qi inside. This feels somewhat like the Predator Thermal Vision, except in golden Thermal Qi mote gradients.
Timmy: Your Intuition has unlocked a Hidden System Option.
The [Thermal Qi Vision] Hidden Skill has now been unlocked.
The skill progress bar has been added to your status screen.
Now, how the hell can I actually manipulate all of this Thermal Qi that is stored inside of everything. Maybe I need to find an ice spell? Some way to forcibly drain all of the Thermal Qi from inside one object and transfer it to another?
If I can move “regular” Fire Qi, then why would I not be able to move ALL of the Thermal Qi inside of everything?
I swipe away my branch-tentacles and violently pull away all of the “golden” motes of Thermal Qi from one side of the tea table that was in front of me to the other.
I immediately open my eyes from my meditative state as I begin to smell something burning, only to find out that half of the table in front of me had become frozen solid, and the other half was now smouldering with incandescence from being overheated.
Fucking hell Timmy! These spirit branches can manipulate the energy states of matter in the environment!? How the hell is that even possible? Physics Professors from back on Earth would be shlorping their pants by now, from either fear or excitement if they ever saw this!
Timmy: You have unlocked the achievement [Entropy Bringer, The Cold Death of the Universe]
Description:
You have brought an object to near-absolute-zero by manipulating its thermal energy with your Spiritual Roots. The Universe trembles!
Timmy: You have unlocked the achievements [Let there be Light], [Firestarter]
Description:
You have raised the temperature of an object until it was transformed into plasma by manipulating its thermal energy with your Spiritual Roots. The Universe trembles again!
Then...
If all of the elemental Qi’s are just manifestations of the states of matter, then what the hell is the white Qi?
I know for a fact that the white Qi can become any other sort of Qi. I have watched Fungus perform a couple of his spells, and then the white Qi from inside of his dantian would move inside of his spell matrix and then come out on the other side as elemental Qi.
So, is the white Qi some sort of aether, some sort of "zero point" potential void energy? The thing that can become anything, yet is nothing all at the same time?
Timmy: Bingo! You have touched upon some of the fundamental truths of this Universe!
Timmy: You have earned the achievement [Mad Science History Unraveling The Mystery, It All Started With The Big Bang]
You have gained 1 Unassigned Skill Point.
Then do you mean to tell me that this fucking Qi shit is not just some invention of the system? That it is something that you would be able to find everywhere else, even if you left this goddamn planet? That Cultivation is an actual REAL thing and not just some System made up bullshit?
Timmy: Kind of, yeah, DUH! We would be a bad sales company if we limited our clients to only our own facilities. There are many other ways in which an entity might impose its Will upon the Universe, but Cultivation is one of the more common methods.
Ok, I am mind blown. I need to think this through a little bit.
….
Wait a second, then why the hell can my Spirit Root Branches manipulate all of these types of energies?
Timmy: Your spiritual root is your soul, will and psyche made manifest in the real world. Mind over matter and all of that. If you will for something to occur strongly enough, it will happen. The system only facilitates the process, it does not create it. Everybody is born with the potential to become something you mortals might label as a “True God”, and I do not mean the System made-up Gods of this planet, those are just mockeries of the real things, but rather a true entity capable of doing anything it wants in this Universe. The problem with reaching that point is that mortals just need to live long enough to reach that certain stage where they can just wish anything into existence, and such a thing does not happen very often.
Well, fuck me sideways again, Timmy. Still, Mockeries or not, the local “Gods” would still be able to outright squish me if they ever wanted to. So far, my only God-like power can barely extend to the surface of the table in front of me, so I guess I have a long way to go.
While energy manipulation may be a fantastically good ability, it is nowhere near enough to ensure my survival, therefore I must work on developing it harder and expand the scope and range of my abilities.
--------
After sweating my ass off in experimental fear after the spirit stone manipulation attempts and finding out that Cultivation is real, I bumped again into an obstacle that had been annoying the shit out of me ever since I had arrived here. Washing water. There’s no fucking concept of running water or plumbing in this place. I had to do something about that, so I dragged Fungus out with me and we ran towards the Buddhist temple to cut down a lot of mature bamboo fronds from there, since they had a lot of it growing near the backyard, because we were still banned from going outside of the sect into the nearby forest ever since the Monsters had shown up.
After stuffing Fung’s ring full with bamboo pipes, we went back to my place, then further up the hillside, where a small water spring was gushing straight out of the mountainside rock. We then both began to chop the bamboo pipes down to size, then glue them together using Alchemical resins. In the end, it took us a couple of days to finish the whole thing, but I now had a suspended bamboo water pipe that was bringing constant fresh water into my backyard, which we had re-routed from the spring, and it was fucking awesome!
I could now do dishes under it, wash my clothes, wash the alchemical containers, have pure cold drinking water without having to go to a nearby well, and also the ability to store and warm it up.
For that last part, it took a little bit more work. I had Fung look for a Metal Bathtub, and in the end we found a large bronze-copper decorated one at one of his Clan's auction houses. After It got delivered, I immediately painted it black, and I had Fung help me install it on the roof of the house. The suspended bamboo pipe was coming from a high enough elevation that it was still above my house’s roof level, therefore I had no problem filling the Black Bathtub with fresh spring water. After leaving the water exposed to the late summer sun for half a day so it would heat up because of the black metal of the tub, I finally unplugged the pipe connected to the drain and was able to finally take my first proper hot shower in this world. Ah, the sheer bliss. I even had scented soap! I have missed the banalities of modern life so much! Only after one loses the access to such “commonplace” things that us humans take for granted in the modern world, that one is able to truly appreciate their value.
A hot shower, a flushing toilet, running water, oh how glad I am to have you back into my life!
━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━
"Senior, what is she doing with that bathtub on the house?"
🔥
She is using the rays of the sun to heat the water, you numbskull.
🔥
"But, why? Can’t she just use her Qi to warm up the water?"
🔥
Not everyone is a fire cultivator like you Jin, don’t take for granted your “casual” skills, because most people do not have even those in the first place. The setup with the bamboo pipes and the blackened tub is quite ingenious. She just made best use of the limited resources she had available, something that you should learn to do as well! Hey! Are you listening to me Jin? Jin? Damn it Child, stop staring at her taking a shower! URGH! You need to get laid already!

Just as I finish getting dressed up, I hear a nearby explosion and Fung crashes through my fence again. He springs back up onto his feet in an instant though, and seems almost fine except for a small nose bleed.
NOW WHAT?
I then see Jin jump down after him, and they begin to exchange blows once more. GOD FUCKING DAMN IT! THOSE TWO ARE AT IT AGAIN! AND I SPECIFICALLY TOLD FUNG TO STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THE LITTLE PIPSQUEAK!
"JIN! I would have let this slide, if you hadn't purposely lured that goddam Dire-Wolf to our position. Time to face the Music, Fireboy!"
I suddenly see Fung turn back towards me, and give me a smile while holding a golden pill between his teeth. OH NO! DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE USE THAT, YOU IDIOT!
Sure enough, Fung swallows it and begins to glow golden. Ah shit, did Fungus just pop the 20 All-Stat booster pill that he recently made? That shit is going to be MURDER on his system! He is going to overtax his body if he remains in that buffed state for too long!
In his steroid-induced frenzy, Fung rushes back towards Jin, and begins to punch the shit out of the boy. With a sudden doubling of all of his attributes, Fung is not missing that much anymore, and Jin is getting hit in the face much more often. Still, he is also hitting back, and they both look like purple swollen pig-faced people at this moment.
"EARFEN PNNCH!"
"FLLMNG PHST!"
Before I could even rush in and try and stop them, they both just brutally punch eachother while screaming some sort of unintelligible ultimate skill, then instantly knock themselves out.

Well fuck...what do I do with these two morons now?
I drag Fung inside of the house, and then I pour a couple of healing pots down his throat. I’m just glad I have some pots to spare with the small 5 second cooldowns. After that, I grab Jin and do the same thing to him, but as soon as go back out and I try to pick up his Fire Tome from the groud, the fucking thing glows bright-red and singes my fingers.
🔥
HANDS OFF, GIRL! DO NOT TOUCH ME!
🔥
MOTHERFUCKER! So you wanna play rough, eh? FINE! Damn it, Fung did say that these soul-bound artifacts are a pain in the ass to deal with.
"Hi there Mr. Solomon’s demon, I’m Trina. I don’t supposed there any way for me to persuade you to get the fuck away from Jin and hightail it back to the Burning Hells, now is there, Mister Efreet? Ifritt? Which one is it?"
🔥
YOU! HOW DO YOU KNOW MY REAL NAME! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU! YOU DO NOT SEEM TO BE ALIGNED WITH THE HEAVENS, SO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU?

"SO, that’s a NO then, I assume."

IT DOES NOT MATTER! YOU MORTALS ARE ALL THE SAME!
🔥
"Oh, but it very much does matter in my book! The last thing that this fucked up world needs right now is some Ancient Fire Demon running freely around. So I’m going to have to cut this conversation short!"
In truth, I am fucking terrified, so I am just putting on a brave face. I have no idea what this fucker can do to me, so I am just going with a gut instinct here. I go into the house, grab my fire stove pliers, then I pick up the book before it can melt the iron pliers and toss it inside a water bucket that was right below the dripping bamboo pipe.
"Let’s see how you fucking like THIS, DEMON!"
🔥

The water begins to boil, but fresh new cold spring water keeps coming from the bamboo pipe to replace it. Still, the book seems really pissed off at my attempts to soak it, and goes absolutely bananas, turning plasma-red in fury. The water is boiling hard, with steam spilling everywhere. Still, I’m not going to give up. I go into “thermal vision mode” and I stretch my Spiritual Root branch-tentacles, then swipe away all of the Thermal Qi that the book is giving off. I toss those Thermal Qi motes all around me to diffuse the heat into the air, the gushing water, and even into the ground.

After struggling for a few minutes, the book finally loses all of its energy, and turns into a block of inert matter, as the water finally freezes under my Thermal Qi dissipation. The moment it hits the freezing point, the book literally shatters into a million fragments, and an immense pained and angry scream escapes from it alongside with a flaming-ghost-like apparition.

Suddenly, the fiery figure gets grabbed by some unknown force and then forcibly gets dragged back into the earth while kicking and screaming.

After it vanished, I finally got to have a good look at my garden. Everywhere around the bucket the ground had been turned into glass, the grass was on fire, and boiling steam was filling the air for half a block’s width.
Timmy: You have altered the Hero of the Flame’s destiny!
Timmy: You have prevented the Ancient Demon Ifritt from taking control over the Hero’s body.
Timmy: You have earned the achievement [Ancient Fire Demon Ice Bucket Challenge]
Description:
You have drowned an Ancient Fire Demon in a fucking bucket, and have sent his soul back to the Nine Hells. Even Momma System is impressed!
Timmy: You have gained 1 Unassigned Skill Point.
Timmy: You now have 11 Unassigned Skill Points.
Timmy: You have gained -5000 Reputation with the Nine Hells
Timmy: If Ifritt ever gets back to the surface through some other way, he will most certainly come after you and seek revenge against your ass for what you did to him!
Well fuck, now I guess I’m stuck attached to the Hero of the Flame’s destiny. Jin is not going to take it very well when he hears his “beloved grandpa” just kicked the bucket, pun intended. How am I going to explain the Demon problem to him?
