Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Creating a Primordial Qi Object!

The Qi and Blood Power enveloped the Primordial Qi, traversing through the veins, transporting it to the abdominal area.

”Success!”

On that day, after withdrawing the enveloping Qi and Blood Power, the Primordial Qi was indeed absorbed into the misty object.

At the same time, the progress on the panel for Primordial Qi Introduction increased slightly.

”The Primordial Qi Technique is not perfect, but the white mist of the Book collection Lake can condense Primordial Qi...”

”Book collection Lake... Primordial Qi Lake...”

While Chu Ming pondered in his heart, he continuously fragmented the Primordial Qi in his Sea of Consciousness, then used the Qi and Blood Power to envelop it and send it to the abdomen.

The white clouds above the Primordial Qi Lake gradually became ethereal, and the Qi mass shrank to only thirty percent of its original size before the misty area in the abdomen was completely filled with Primordial Qi.

At the same time, the progress on the panel reached ’100’.

”Cannot accommodate any more...”

Chu Ming stopped his operation, gazing forward.

Obviously, he was now at the bottleneck of the Primordial Qi Introduction. To go further, he must break through the shackles.

But...

”I don’t even have a complete Primordial Qi Technique. I don’t know what the next realm is... how to break the bottleneck?”

It seems I still need to find a way to contact the Primordial Qi Warriors of the Divine Mystery Bureau.

Putting away the tattered technique, Chu Ming began browsing other books.

The Primordial Qi Lake formed in the Sea of Consciousness, which means there is a possibility for further evolution and deduction, just like Body Refining Techniques, the more books you read, the greater the auxiliary effect.

Moreover, the white mist produced by the Book collection Lake now has two functions, one is to expand the Sea of Consciousness, and the other is to condense Primordial Qi, its importance is self-evident.

Nearing noon, Little Shan’s voice came from outside: ”Young Master, lunch is ready.”

”Oh, Grandpa Shen is back.”

Two consecutive voices fell into his ears, and Chu Ming put down the book and walked out of the house, just in time to see Shen Yu with a troubled face.

Shen Yu was sitting on a stone bench, even though Little Shan had made a table full of dishes, it failed to pique his interest.

When he saw Chu Ming walk out, he hurriedly waved him over.

Chu Ming sat down and poured Shen Yu a cup of fresh fruit brew, which Chu Ming had taught Little Shan to make; it was essentially fruit juice.

However, Shen Yu’s brow was furrowed, showing no interest.

”Grandpa Shen, this is called fruit brew, it’s very tasty,” Little Shan said from the side.

”Brother Shen is still worrying about my issues?”

Chu Ming could tell that Shen Yu hadn’t returned the previous night and must have been discussing countermeasures with Xiao He at the Commandery Mansion, judging by his expression, they hadn’t reached a conclusion.

”Sigh...” Shen Yu sighed, took a sip of the fruit brew absentmindedly, ”Oh?”

With just one sip, a look of surprise swept across his previously worried brow.

”Grandpa Shen, tastes good, right?” Little Shan asked with a smile.

”Indeed, it’s good. What’s this called? Fruit brew? Little Shan, how did you make it?” Shen Yu took another sip in amazement.

”The young master taught me, it’s made by extracting from sweet oranges, the cup Grandpa Shen is drinking now is roughly ten sweet oranges.”

”Sweet oranges...” Shen Yu took several more sips, and the worry on his face noticeably diminished.

But after downing half the cup, the worry resurfaced, and he seemed to be holding back words.

This was a familiar scene to Little Shan, ”Young Master, Grandpa Shen, I’ll go make some more.”

With that, she left.

Once Little Shan left, Shen Yu’s expression turned serious as he said, ”Chu Ming, the Fifth Prince implied last night, it seems you’re to go to Jingyan County to oversee the salt mine within these two days.”

”Last night, Old Xiao and I...” Shen Yu paused before sighing, ”visited the Divine Mystery Bureau.”

Chu Ming’s eyes flickered as he was about to speak, but Shen Yu interrupted.

”Those guys at the Divine Mystery Bureau...” Shen Yu’s face showed anger, ”Old Xiao went in person, but we didn’t even get past the door, got turned away.”

”Said something about one Primordial Qi Object, but didn’t explain what a Primordial Qi Object is...”

Just as Master said.

Primordial Qi Object?

A glimmer of insight flashed deep in Chu Ming’s eyes.

Could the unused part of the Qi mass in my Sea of Consciousness be the Primordial Qi Object?

”Brother Shen, wait a moment, I’ll check if Little Shan has finished pressing the juice.”

He refilled Shen Yu’s cup with fruit brew.

Shen Yu paused but didn’t say much.

Chu Ming didn’t go directly to find Little Shan but instead went to Shen Yu’s blind spot of vision.

”I wonder if the Primordial Qi in the Sea of Consciousness can be extracted...”

The best way for him to break through the Primordial Qi Introduction Realm is to obtain a more complete Primordial Qi Warrior cultivation system.

And this system seems to be available only to the Primordial Qi Warriors of the Divine Mystery Bureau.

If even Shen Yu and Xiao He couldn’t get through, chances are I won’t either.

Therefore, upon hearing Shen Yu mention trading a Primordial Qi Object for a chance, he thought of extracting the remaining Primordial Qi from his Sea of Consciousness.

Chu Ming adjusted his breath, inwardly focused on the Sea of Consciousness, with his Primordial Consciousness locking onto the mass of Primordial Qi.

”Let’s guide a bit and see.”

The process was the same as before, first separating a small part from the Qi mass, then using the Primordial Consciousness to guide, followed by wrapping it with Qi and Blood Power.

But this time, instead of taking it to the abdomen, it traveled through the veins to the palm.

He locked his Primordial Consciousness onto the palm, and the Qi and Blood Power gradually withdrew, exposing the Primordial Qi.

At the same time, the Primordial Consciousness replaced the Qi and Blood Power, enveloping the Primordial Qi.

The Qi and Blood Power couldn’t leave the body, but the Primordial Consciousness could.

Once the Primordial Consciousness completely enveloped the Primordial Qi, he took a deep breath and controlled the Primordial Consciousness to leave the body...

The next moment, a familiar yet strange sensation emerged from the palm.

At this moment, a white mass of Primordial Qi was suspended in his palm.

”It can indeed.”

Chu Ming’s face flashed with joy.

However, before the smile lasted two breaths, his expression immediately turned serious.

The Primordial Qi was dissipating!

To be precise, it was not dissipating, but dissolving into the world.

Chu Ming, having reached the bottleneck of Primordial Qi Introduction, could only watch helplessly as the Primordial Qi slipped away from his hand, dispersing into threads of colorful mist.

”Heaven and earth, containing the natural aspects of Qi. Heaven covers above, earth stretches below...”

He recalled the content of the Primordial Qi Technique.

”Primordial Qi Object...”

Suddenly, his eyes brightened as if he thought of something.

Chu Ming stepped out of the shadows, heading to where Little Shan was pressing the juice.

”Young Master, why are you here?”

”The fruit brew is finished,” Chu Ming said casually while picking up a sweet orange.

”Grandpa Shen really likes to drink it.”

”Mm.”

Chu Ming replied, raising his right hand with the sweet orange he had just picked up in his palm.

He controlled the Primordial Consciousness and Qi and Blood Power to envelop a portion of the Primordial Qi in the palm, then locked his Primordial Consciousness onto the sweet orange.

This time, he not only wanted to guide the white Primordial Qi outside but also to send the Primordial Qi into the sweet orange.

The Qi and Blood Power retreated, and the Primordial Consciousness communicated and wrapped around, then slowly emerged from the palm.

Neither the Primordial Consciousness nor the Primordial Qi was visible to Little Shan, so Chu Ming didn’t worry about scaring her.

The Primordial Consciousness left the body and directly entered the sweet orange.

There was no obstruction, as the Primordial Consciousness, with Primordial Qi wrapped around, smoothly entered the sweet orange.

With the Primordial Consciousness withdrawn, the Primordial Qi did not immediately disperse as before, nor did it stay intact...

A closer look would reveal that the rate of Primordial Qi dissipation had greatly slowed.

At the current rate of dissipation, it would take three to five days for the Primordial Qi to fully disappear.

If the quantity of Primordial Qi sent in were increased, the dissipation time could be further extended.

”Primordial Qi Object...”

Chu Ming stared at the sweet orange, pondering why the Divine Mystery Bureau’s Primordial Qi Warriors needed the Primordial Qi Object.

Was it for the concentration?

If he continued to inject white Primordial Qi into the sweet orange, it could indeed make the concentration surpass, and even far exceed, the terrestrial concentration of Primordial Qi.
