Power Progression

Ye Yun’s cultivation provides the documented progression of his Essence Qi.

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Sensing Qi	2	Draws traces of energy from heaven and earth into his meridians through breathing; the flow nourishes his meridians and accelerates his recovery.
Ninth Rank	3	Absorbs enough Essence Qi to break through. It scours his body, strengthening his blood, skin, and spirit; his injuries fully heal.
Eighth Rank	7	Breaks through after three days of cultivation with the Flying Feather Knife method and medicinal tonics. A warm current surges from his dantian through his limbs.
Peak Eighth Rank	27 30	His cultivation is described as peak Eighth Rank; its concentrated Essence Qi powers his techniques and can be concealed with Turtle Breath Stillness.
Seventh Rank	39	Uses a Vermilion Essence Fruit and the True Martial Secret Manual to break through, expelling impurities and yin-tainted threads from his wounds.
Mid-Seventh Rank	39 40	Guides the fruit’s remaining energy through his meridians. His Essence Qi becomes crimson-gold and mercury-like, allowing the Mountain-Crushing Saber Technique’s energy to project outward.

Nature and Cultivation

Essence Qi is drawn from the energy of heaven and earth and circulated through a martial artist’s meridians. Sensing it is a prerequisite for entering the martial ranks; Ye Yun initially absorbs only imperceptible traces with each breath 2 3.

Its quantity and refinement develop with cultivation. The True Martial Secret Manual makes Ye Yun’s true qi purer, while the Vermilion Essence Fruit supplies energy for his Seventh Rank breakthrough 26 39.

Abilities & Applications

Physical Strengthening

Circulation through Ye Yun’s meridians nourishes them and helps his injuries heal rapidly 2.
His Ninth Rank breakthrough strengthens his blood, skin, and spirit and completes his recovery 3.

Weapon Techniques

Essence Qi can be guided into saber strikes to produce projected blade energy 5 40.
Ye Yun compresses peak Eighth Rank Essence Qi into flying knives, producing a concentrated golden energy that temporarily defeats a female ghost 37.
Infusing ordinary pebbles with Essence Qi turns them into deadly projectiles 31.

Against Spectral Entities

Essence Qi can affect a ghost even when ordinary physical strikes pass through it: Yan Xiao Liu’s attacks disturb its form, and Ye Yun finds that contact briefly delays its movement 35 36.
Peak Eighth Rank strikes sever threads connecting the female ghost to the ancient well, but do little direct harm to her 36.
Uncle Fu states that the Essence Qi of lower-ranked warriors is too thin to reliably break evil, whereas the condensed Essence Qi of middle-ranked warriors can do so 38.

Techniques and Control

Turtle Breath Stillness draws vital energy into the dantian to conceal a martial artist’s aura 27.
The Four Symbols Locking Spirit Formation slows Essence Qi circulation and reduces the trapped Six Doors fighters’ effective strength 47.
Greater mental power lets Ye Yun perceive and control the flow of Essence Qi more precisely 49.
