The spiritual ki ended up with the same problem as the nutrients and energy of his body, it was running out and he would not have enough, so James had to think of a quick solution, when it occurs to him to replenish his spiritual ki by cultivating that of the environment, he seeks in his mind the memory of how it was cultivated and gets down to work. But then another inconvenience arises, it is assumed that in the normal cultivation method one breathes the spiritual ki of the environment and surrounds it with his own spiritual ki, keeps it contained and sends it to the dantian through the spiritual channels to the dantian, where It is refined and separated from elements, impurities or other marks of will, since when someone uses their spiritual ki they leave their mark on it, and the ki of the environment has a lot of mixed marks from the animals, plants and cultivators who have passed through there before, therefore it needs to be purified in the dantian using one's own spiritual ki, after the spiritual ki is purified and cleansed, it can be added to the cultivator's personal reserves, where it will take on the mark of the rest of the ki that he has around him, that is, that of the cultivator. while the excesses and impurities are again encapsulated in spiritual ki and returned to the lung, where they are exhausted.

So far so good, the problem is that James has neither dantian, nor meridians nor spiritual channels, since everything was destroyed along with his dantian.

James needs to find another way to get spiritual ki and heal his wounds, since he has been in this forest too long and will starve if he does not move, plus a spirit beast could arrive at any moment for the blood, but luckily not. They took it so deep

searching in his mind for some memory about an alternative cultivation method or some mention of ki that might help him, he is disappointed to learn that there is nothing, no cultivator before has tried to cultivate in any way other than the process mentioned above, although they can. create different forms of breathing, poses, ways to purify the ki or transport it, they have never changed the method of purifying it in the dantian and assimilating it, and the reasons are simple for changing something that works well? the method is safe and known, everyone practices it therefore it is easy to discover the dangers through the experience of others, and it has always been this way, to create another way to collect ki that was not through the dantian and spiritual channels It is like walking on thin ice, there is no clear path ahead and any mistake can lead to dire consequences, therefore no one is willing to risk questioning the orthodox cultivation method to be disabled or killed in a short time due to a mistake. In addition to the uncertain results, they prefer to spend that time cultivating and becoming more powerful.

This brings us to the situation where James must decide between doing nothing and starving or risking inventing some cultivation method on the fly in order to save his life possibly dying in the attempt.

The decision is simple, if you are given the choice between certain death or probable death, there is no need to doubt too much.

Having decided to try something never seen before in the Cultivation Realm, James begins to create his new cultivation method step by step.

- "Let's do this, I'm going to take the orthodox cultivation methods as an example and find solutions as I go along."

he first gathers spiritual ki in his lungs through breathing.

- "Now what? Now the ki is supposed to be transported to where it can be purified, since I have no dantian I have to find a replacement to purify it"

James began to think of some way to achieve it, directing his attention to his own body, feeling his spiritual ki circulating through the blood.

- "let's try that"

pushing his will a little and moving his spiritual ki into his lungs and using the paltry amount he has, he surrounds a wisp of spiritual ki in his lungs, taking special care that it does not escape from his control, as the foreign spiritual ki in someone's body is equal to poison, it moves around in a chaotic way destroying the body without control.

- "I have encapsulated a blade of ki, now what do I do with this?"

She moved the encapsulated ki through his body a little, looking for a way to purify it, while doing so she draws her attention to the blood, which is where the ki is moving, and thinks that it could purify her ki just like her body purifies the blood.

He moved the spiritual blade through his blood while he remembered his biology classes, with a little effort and seeing how his blood moves, he places his attention on the liver, in charge of purifying the blood of chemicals and foreign substances such as alcohol or poisons.

- "now I just have to see how I purify my ki using my liver, let's try this"

James then moves the encapsulated foreign spiritual ki to the liver, where simply nothing happens, his liver was purifying the blood but does not possess any spiritual ki itself, therefore it cannot interact with the contaminated ki, the ki simply passes through it as If there was nothing in the way

seeing this James seeks to approach the problem in another way, and places the spiritual ki inside a globule and releases it, in the hope that purifying the blood globule will purify the ki inside, although he kept a layer of his own ki surrounding the globule in case the tainted ki attempts to escape, and as you prevented, the tainted ki destroyed the globule into a heap of pieces upon release.

Re-encapsulating the ki, James takes a moment to consider the way forward.
