After the Great Dao died

Chapter 97 The Profound Mystery of Precious Qi, Ascending to the Fifth Floor

At this moment, Chen Lingxi was simply sitting upright in the cave.

The spiritual energy that was originally so thin that it was almost impossible to detect was drawn to him by this precious energy and surged towards him on its own.

"It's somewhat like the 'spiritual aperture' described in the Six Qi True Method, which naturally attracts spiritual energy."

Chen Ling's eyes sparkled.

The Spiritual Aperture is an opportunity that many Qi cultivators dream of. Some cultivators are born with it, while others need to cultivate it later.

Once you obtain a spiritual aperture, you can absorb a massive amount of spiritual energy at any time. In addition, there are many other benefits.

"A budget version of [Spiritual Acupoints]?"

While pondering, Chen Lingxi tried to circulate the Six Qi True Method, using this precious Qi as a guide to absorb and release the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

In an instant, the vortex of spiritual energy gathered by the Pure and Mysterious Qi Array in the cave suddenly accelerated several times, and the dense spiritual energy poured into his body like water bursting its banks.

Then the precious energy emitted a faint golden light, helping Chen Lingxi's Six Qi True Method to refine these spiritual energies.

"With this precious Qi, my cultivation speed has increased by at least 100%."

"and----

Chen Lingxi's eyes flickered: "And this isn't the limit."

He could clearly sense that this precious Qi could still grow and remained in Zhuangfu.

"The precious Qi dormant within Lin Longyue's body is like a treasure trove. I only need to continue to merge my spiritual Qi with the precious Qi within Lin Longyue's body, and slowly refine it using the Six Qi True Method—"

This first-class precious qi could continuously draw nourishment from Lin Longyue's body, constantly growing stronger and more solid.

Chen Lingxi secretly marveled, "Perhaps once I fully absorb and refine this precious Qi, my cultivation speed will be several times faster!"

"And this is just a wonderful application of precious Qi."

Chen Lingxi suddenly had a thought, and activated the precious qi, merging it with her own spiritual qi, and then slowly poured it into her throat.

"Oh!"

The Dragon's Roar Technique!

He opened his mouth and exhaled a very light and delicate breath.

The roar was incredibly deep and resonant, causing the air in the cave to vibrate and ripple.

Chen Lingxi's pupils narrowed slightly.

The power of this Dragon's Roar technique is far greater than before.

He remained silent for a moment, then pointed his fingers like a sword and activated the Green Edge Technique and the Hidden Edge Technique.

The Green Edge Technique is much sharper, and the invisible barrier of the Concealed Edge Technique is more resilient and denser than before.

"The power of these spells has actually increased to a higher level." He was quite pleasantly surprised: "They may have already reached the [Mid-Level] realm!"

'

Yingchi once told him that there are four levels of magical realms: initial perception, subtle understanding, advanced skill, and profound mystery.

When he practiced these techniques before, he had already crossed the threshold of the first level of understanding, but he had never been able to step into a higher level.

Now, with the help of this precious Qi, the Dragon's Roar Technique, the Azure Edge Technique, and the Concealed Edge Technique have all undergone a qualitative change, crossing the threshold of the Middle Micro Realm.

"To forcibly amplify the power of a spell without needing to comprehend it is truly extraordinary!"

The realm of the intermediate level is no longer simply about activating spells, but about delving into the profound principles of spells themselves.

Every movement of spiritual energy and every control over every key point becomes increasingly refined and subtle, thus greatly increasing its power.

Such progress would be something an ordinary cultivator might not achieve even after years of arduous training.

He simply obtained this precious Qi, and thus easily crossed over.

"Such precious Qi is probably an extremely rare thing even in the vast world." Chen Lingxi exhaled a long breath and muttered to himself, "In that case, I will give you a name."

He thought for a moment, then raised his right hand and made a few strokes in the air with his index finger, as if writing on paper, outlining two characters stroke by stroke.

"Xuanqi."

The word "玄" means profound and subtle.

This precious Qi is so profound that calling it "mysterious Qi" is quite fitting.

"However—why didn't Lin Suri take this profound and mysterious Qi?"

Chen Lingxi was filled with doubt.

Lin Su Ri has been cultivating the Six Qi True Method for countless years. With his cultivation and eyesight, how could he not discover the astonishing profound Qi hidden within Lin Long Yue's body?

But while he was plotting to seize the elusive [Ancestral Mountain Mother Qi], he turned a blind eye to the precious Qi right under his nose.

"Why is this?" Chen Lingxi frowned, asking herself in her heart.

"Could it be because Lin Longyue is Lin Su Ri's younger sister, and this precious energy requires dual cultivation, causing Lin Longyue to develop a stirring of desire, so that the wealth energy can be obtained?"

He then thought about it again and felt that this guess was untenable.

"Lin Suri possessed a body; how could someone like him care about blood ties and moral principles?"

Chen Lingxi was completely baffled until a thought suddenly flashed through his mind after a few breaths.

"Could it be that he didn't see through it at all?" Chen Lingxi's brows furrowed even deeper.

Lin Su's daily Qi circulation reached its sixth level, and he was only one step away from the third level.

He himself cultivated the Six Qi True Method and also possessed the art of observing Qi. If Chen Lingxi could see through it, there was no reason why Lin Suri couldn't.

Chen Lingxi couldn't figure it out, so she closed her eyes and thought about it carefully.

"Could it be—" until a thought I had never considered before surfaced from the depths of my mind.

"Could it be that my Six Qi True Method, which I obtained from the peddler in the divine chamber, is different from Lin Suri's Six Qi True Method?"

Once the thought popped into my head, I couldn't suppress it any longer.

He went through the Six Qi True Method and True Instructions in his mind from beginning to end.

From the initial refining of essence into qi, to the condensation of liquid in the sea of ​​qi, and then to the various methods of cultivating by gathering the six qi, every word and phrase is explained without omission.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this secret was incredibly profound, with each point of understanding being perfectly presented and each step of the cultivation path being clear and easy to follow.

This does not look like it has any defects or deviations.

"I can't figure it out, I just can't figure it out."

Chen Ling thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

He shook his head slightly, suppressing his chaotic thoughts for the time being.

In any case, this profound energy has now settled in his dantian.

This is a good thing for him, a great thing.

"With this profound Qi," he murmured to himself, his gaze falling on the sea of ​​clouds outside the cave, tinged pale gold by the morning light. "If I can further strengthen this Qi with the help of Lin Longyue and cultivate spiritual Qi, I will be able to reach the fifth level of Qi cultivation in less than a month."

By circulating Qi to the fifth level and achieving the Great Perfection of the Qi Sea, one can obtain many profound secrets.

Once he reaches that level, his strength will undoubtedly experience a qualitative leap.

At that time, with the aid of the Slaughtering Gold Saber, the Purple True Treasure Qi, the Azure Edge Technique, the Dragon's Roar Technique, and Xi Mu's immortal willow puppet at the sixth level of Qi cultivation, as well as the many resources he has acquired, he will no longer be the weakling in this cave who needs to hide his head and tail and tremble with fear.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, closed his eyes again, and continued his breathing exercises, circulating the Six Qi True Method.

Time slips away silently.

As the saying goes, time flies when you're in the mountains; a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Chen Lingxi was sitting cross-legged on the cliff face, breathing deeply with his eyes closed.

The profound energy within his dantian was completely different from what it had been a month ago.

If a month ago it was nothing more than a golden thread mixed in with blue silk, now it is a golden flower rooted in the stream of spiritual energy.

As it grew stronger, Chen Lingxi's cultivation speed also increased accordingly.

Initially, it was only twice as fast as before, but now it is more than three times faster.

What used to take him a month of arduous cultivation to accumulate spiritual energy, he can now achieve in just ten days.

Under the winter sunlight, the Yuanjiang River gleamed with a bluish-gray luster, like a giant python that had been sleeping for countless years, coiled on the earth, motionless.

Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged.

The spring breeze blew by, but he was completely unaware of it. He simply closed his eyes and circulated the Six Qi True Method to its fullest extent.

He used the breakthrough method recorded in the Six Qi True Method to gather, compress, and condense the surging river of spiritual energy bit by bit.

Just as the spiritual energy river was compressed to its limit, his dantian trembled violently.

It was like a dam being breached by the spring flood, or a silkworm cocoon being torn apart from the inside.

The boundary of the Qi Sea suddenly expanded outward several times during this earthquake.

A slight smile appeared on Chen Lingxi's lips: "Circulating Qi to the fifth floor, done."

At this moment, his dantian was filled with spiritual energy as deep as an abyss.

The spiritual liquid gathered into a small spiritual pool. It seemed small, but it was like a bottomless pool, containing several times more spiritual energy than before.

He tried to activate a wisp of spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy surged out of the spiritual pool as easily as if it were his own arm, flowing through the meridians with astonishing speed and smoothness.

"This is the fifth level of Qi Circulation." He muttered to himself, stood up, lowered his head, and looked at himself from head to toe.

"With no pores leaking, no dust accumulating, and no energy dissipating."

This is the secret of "no leakage" in the fifth floor of Qi circulation.

A slight thought crossed his mind, and he tried to activate the spiritual pool in his dantian.

A small whirlpool suddenly appeared on the surface of the spirit pool. The whirlpool spun faster and faster, as if an invisible hand was stirring the water.

As the vortex spun, an extremely strong suction force surged out from the spirit pool, spreading along his meridians to his limbs and bones.

He raised his right hand and made a grasping motion towards a rock about half a person's height not far away.

The rock trembled violently as if it had been caught by an invisible hand, then lifted off the ground and flew into his palm.

"This is the [Qi Sea Vortex]." He muttered to himself, a flash of understanding in his eyes.

This was precisely the method Lin Su Ri had used to suppress him during the evolution of Chejue that day.

At that moment, he felt an invisible suction force emanating from Lin Suri, holding him firmly in place and rendering him unable to move.

If it weren't for the Purple True Treasure Qi, it would probably have been captured by Lin Su Ri and fallen into his hands.

Now that he has entered the fifth floor of the Qi Circulation Realm, he has also encountered this mystery and has come to understand its profound secrets.

"There is also a third mystery, which is the [emergence of Qi flow].

With a thought, the pool of spiritual energy in his dantian suddenly surged, the spiritual liquid transforming into rolling spiritual energy that flowed along his meridians to his legs, reaching the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of his feet.

He gushed out the spiritual energy from his Yongquan acupoint.

In an instant, a powerful current surged from the soles of his feet, as if two invisible clouds were supporting him.

He was propelled into the air by the gust of wind, his robes billowing and rustling.

In the blink of an eye, he had risen to a height of five zhang in the void.

The spring breeze from the mountaintop surged in from all directions, causing his robes to flutter like flags and his long, tied-up hair to dance wildly in the wind.

He stood in the void, with only two faint clouds of spiritual energy beneath his feet, yet he did not fall, just like a hawk with outstretched wings, steadily suspended in mid-air.

"Floating in mid-air—" He stood in the void, a feeling of indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.

This was the first time he had ever levitated in the void using his own power.

Although it was only about five zhang tall and could only be maintained for a short while, the feeling of being freed from the constraints of the earth and overlooking the mountains and rivers made his heart burn with excitement.

He recalled Lin Su Ri standing three zhang in the air with his hands behind his back, yet not a trace of spiritual energy leaking out; he recalled Consort Chun's graceful figure as she sailed away in a small boat through the sea of ​​clouds; he recalled Xiao Chang Lü's imposing leap from the shattered mountain peak, traversing several miles.

potential.

Those sights once seemed unattainable to him, like mortals looking up at the stars in the sky, only able to see a faint glimmer, but never able to touch them.

But now, he has finally embarked on this path as well.

Although he has only just begun and is still a long way from those figures, he is at least moving forward.

"This is only the fifth level of Qi Circulation." He landed on the ground and sighed, "The mysteries of the sixth level of Qi Circulation are even more extraordinary."

The Six Qi True Method records the mystery of the Six Towers.

For example, the [Golden Blood] mystery, once mastered, will cause a surge in vitality, making the body extremely difficult to damage.

Even though Consort Chun pierced his chest with a sword and his spirit arrow pierced his heart, Xi Mu and other Qi-wielding figures at the sixth level were still able to forcibly maintain their vitality and activate their magic with their spiritual energy.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Golden Blood Mystery.

There's also the mystery of the "Nine Returns".

The spiritual energy undergoes nine compressions to remove all impurities, making each drop of spiritual energy as fine as a spiritual needle.

By then, the killing power and penetrating power of spiritual energy will reach an unimaginable level.

Ordinary spells, when enhanced by the Nine Returns Mystery, will at least double in power.

He went through these thoughts over and over in his mind, his gaze growing increasingly intense.

Now that he possesses profound qi, his cultivation speed can be described as "extremely fast".

"At this rate—" He secretly calculated in his mind: "In just half a year, I will be able to break through to the sixth level of Qi cultivation."

"At that time, with the profound mysteries of Golden Blood and Nine Returns, my strength will surely reach a new level."

He took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, closed his eyes again, and began to circulate the Six Qi True Method.
