Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

The essence of Qinghua Qi is vigorous growth; after opening the Wood Mansion, a cultivator’s life force and self-healing ability will be further enhanced.

At this moment, Ji An can truly be considered a Chao Origin Stage Cultivator.

After the laughter, he closed his eyes and carefully recalled the sensation he felt during Qi eating, trying to recreate the successful details in his Sea of Consciousness.

A moment later, he emptied his mind, exhaled following the previous rhythm, and then naturally inhaled.

He did this more than thirty times, succeeding only twice.

Qi eating was not yet perfected, but it will get better.

In the future, whenever there is ’Qi’ present, he will be able to succeed in Qi eating at each attempt.

At this time, Ji An felt a sense of fatigue transmitting from his Spirit Soul, slightly dizzy, similar to when he spent a long time creating a Talisman.

Qi eating consumes a substantial amount of Divine Sense and cannot be sustained long; it also requires harmony with celestial and earthly positions.

Wood-eating Qi should be performed either before the sunrise or after the sunset in lush forests.

The terrain cannot be too high or too low.

Not all Five Elements Qi can be absorbed, for instance, the miasma in deep valleys is also a form of Wood Element Qi. But this Qi is highly toxic to cultivators, causing severe liver and intestinal damage, though certain demon beasts can ingest it freely.

Nothing is absolute; once the Divine Mansion is fully developed and a deep understanding of Wood Element Qi is achieved, all categories of Wood Element Qi can be ingested.

Then, the requirements of celestial and earthly positions will not be as stringent.

In short, as long as you’re strong enough, nothing will hold you back.

Ji An is in a great mood; the next step is to carefully cultivate several tea plants to nourish the Spirit Soul.

With a stronger Spirit Soul, naturally, he can perform Qi eating more often.

After some time, once his Divine Sense recovers, he plans to attempt opening the Heart Fire Mansion.

After all, Foundation Establishment Stage does not focus on cultivating Fire Element Techniques; he believes opening the Fire Mansion will be quite challenging.

But compared to other cultivators, this difficulty is negligible.

After opening the Five Mansions, the Five Elements Rotation will naturally occur, offering numerous opportunities!

By reaching this step earlier than others, he can quickly enhance the core of the Divine Mansion; most importantly, he can begin to comprehend the true form of Five Qi Chaoyuan.

In other words, he will be ahead of others, preparing for the Golden Core.

By these calculations, he will reach the Golden Core Realm sooner or later.

Ji An sat cross-legged, with five hearts facing heaven, circulating the Wood Element Technique from the Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture, and nature’s spiritual energy began gathering toward him.

As with the Spring Green Wood Evergreen Skill during Foundation Establishment Stage, Wood Element Spirit Light, Gui Water Spirit Light, Ji Earth Spirit Light, etc., all gathered toward him.

Spiritual Qi flowed through the Immortal Vein, ten Dao Seeds in the acupoints sparkled brightly.

His liver was emerald green, as brilliant as jade, with patterns on the surface shimmering like flowing water.

His kidneys shone similarly.

Meanwhile, he sensed a faint peculiarity within his body.

It was the latent blood Qi in his blood, muscles, and bones, not belonging to himself.

If his assumptions were correct, it was the Demon King’s Blood Transformation Soul-Chasing Curse.

Ji An ignored this trace of blood Qi because, with the cultivation technique’s operation, the blood Qi would naturally be worn down.

During Foundation Establishment Stage, due to the vast difference in realm, the rate of blood Qi depletion was extremely slow.

Now having broken through to Chao Origin Stage, the situation has significantly improved; with each Grand Circulation of the cultivation technique, a trace of blood Qi gets worn down.

As the cultivation technique continued, the warmth in his liver grew increasingly intense.

After three Grand Circulations of Spiritual Qi in the Immortal Vein, it was refined into Magical Power and integrated into the Dantian.

The Stone Turtle lay beside the Primordial Life Fire, each consuming one-tenth of the Magical Power.

The Stone Turtle’s shell was moist and bright, with the porcelain-like cracks fewer than before.

The Primordial Life Fire was lush green and glistening, its flame steady, and a thriving life force condensed in the Dantian.

When Ji An felt the efficiency of refining Magical Power clearly decline, he slowly concluded his cultivation; it was already past noon.

He wondered if it was an illusion, but the world seemed brighter.

With brief contemplation, he realized all these were genuine feelings.

The liver governs eyesight, and after opening the Wood Element Divine Mansion, a cultivator’s eyes naturally gain extraordinary abilities.

Some cultivators can see through illusions, some can see through fogs, and others can directly see Yin Souls.

The Cultivation Realm has specialized Pupil Techniques capable of achieving similar effects.

However, most cultivators achieve only a consolation prize after opening the Wood Mansion, with merely enhanced vision.

You can see further and even discern things in dark environments.

“I hope I can gain extra Divine Powers!”

Ji An prayed in his heart, raising his head to seriously assess the sun’s height, estimating it was already 1:00 PM.

If he opened the Fire Mansion, perhaps a single meditation could span an entire day.

Ji An gathered his Magical Power and soared into the air, overlooking the vast forest below, nodding with satisfaction.

Within the forest, Qinghua Qi gathers; the higher the tier of Spirit Wood, the richer the contained Qi.

There are enough Tier Two Spirit Wood here, making it unnecessary to seek other places for Wood Element Qi ingestion.

If he opens the Fire Element Divine Mansion in the future, standing atop Red Flame Peak for Fire Qi consumption would also be excellent.

To consume Metal Qi and Earth Element Qi, he might need to find another location, and whether the Water Qi in Cold Pool can satisfy him remains to be seen.

Staying at Red Flame Peak without needing to leave is great news for him, as the Stone Turtle can absorb eight kinds of Spiritual Mechanism, allowing him to maintain comprehensive development.

Returning to Cold Pool, Zhang Cuihua walked forward and said:

“Master Ancestor, please wait a moment; lunch has cooled a bit. I just placed it on the steamer, and it’s heating now.”
