Chen Xu wrote on the Spiritual Cicada Jade Robe:
[I wish to participate in the provincial exam, could you tell me the most suitable departure time, route, and companions?]
He was somewhat greedy, asking several questions in one sentence.
The ink strokes were written down one by one, while Chen Xu felt the Innate Qi within his Dantian rapidly depleting.
An indescribable dizziness and sensation of Qi Blood flowing in reverse continuously assailed him.
This feeling was very uncomfortable, especially as he wrote more, the pen strokes even developed a heavy sluggishness.
Yet Chen Xu had no intention of abandoning his questions.
He silently recited the Mental Calming Mantra in his heart: "Attain the utmost emptiness, maintain utmost tranquility."
"If the heart is clear as ice, even if the sky falls, remain unafraid…"
The question he chose to ask should have been within the backlash limit he could endure, causing the least harm.
