Treasure Qi's Mysterious Wonders, Ascending to the Fifth Floor

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

The Spiritual Qi that was originally so thin that it was almost impossible to detect was drawn towards him by this Treasure Qi.

"It's somewhat like the [Spirit Aperture] described in the Six-Qi True Method, which naturally attracts Spiritual Qi."

Chen Lingxi's eyes sparkled.

The [Spirit Aperture] is fortuitous opportunity that many Qi Circulation Realm cultivators dream of. Some cultivators are born with it, while others need to cultivate it later.

Once you obtain Spirit Aperture, you can absorb a massive amount of Spiritual Qi at any time, and there are many other wonderful benefits as well.

"A low-end version of [Spirit Aperture]?"

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

In an instant, the vortex of Spiritual Qi gathered by the Clear-Mystery Pivot-Qi Formation in the cave suddenly accelerated several times, and the dense Spiritual Qi poured into his body like water bursting its banks.

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

"With this Treasure 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 Treasure Qi was still growing and expanding.

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

This first Treasure Qi can continuously draw nourishment from Lin Longyue's body, constantly growing stronger and more solidified.

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

"And this is merely a Treasure Qi."

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

"Oh!"

Dragon 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 Roar Technique is far greater than before.

He remained silent for a moment, then pointed his fingers like a sword and activated the Azure Edge Method and the Concealed Edge Method.

The Azure Edge Method is much sharper now, and the invisible barrier of the Concealed Edge Method is more resilient and denser than before.

"The power of these Law Technique has actually increased to a higher level!" He was quite pleasantly surprised. "They've probably reached the [Subtle Insight] level!"

Ying Chi once told him that there are four levels of Law Technique skill: Initial Perception, Subtle Insight, Profound Subtlety, and Mysterious Profundity.

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

Now, with the help of this Treasure Qi, the Dragon Roar Technique, the Azure Edge Method, and the Concealed Edge Method Technique have all undergone a qualitative change, crossing the threshold of the Subtle Insight Realm.

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

The realm of the Subtle Insight is no longer simply about activating spells, but about delving into the profound principles behind the spells themselves.

Every movement of spiritual energy and every control over every critical 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 Treasure Qi, and thus easily overcame the obstacle.

"Such Treasure Qi is probably an extremely rare item even in the Great World." Chen Lingxi exhaled a long breath and muttered to himself, "In that case, I'll 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.

"Mysterious Qi."

Mystic means profound and subtle.

This Treasure Qi is so profound that calling it "Mysterious Qi" is quite fitting.

"However... why didn't Lin Suri take this profound Qi?"

Chen Lingxi's doubts were dispelled.

Lin Suri had been cultivating the Six-Qi True Method for countless years. With his cultivation and eyesight, how could he not have discovered the astonishing profound Mysterious Qi hidden within Lin Longyue's body?

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

"Why is that?" Chen Lingxi frowned, asking herself inwardly.

"Could it be because Lin Longyue is Lin Suri's younger sister, and this Treasure Qi requires dual cultivation, causing Lin Longyue to develop budding desires, thus enabling the acquisition of wealth energy?"

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

"Lin Suri was possessed; how could someone like him care about blood relations or ethics?"

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 Suri Qi Circulation Sixth Floor, and he was only one step away from the Upper Three Floors.

He himself cultivated the Six-Qi True Method and also possessed the Qi-Observation Technique. 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 he had never considered before surfaced from the depths of his 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 Formula in his mind from beginning to end.

From the initial refining of essence into qi, to the condensation of liquid in the Qi Sea, 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 explained perfectly and each step of the cultivation path clearly laid out.

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 Lingxi 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 Mysterious Qi has now settled in his Qi Sea.

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

"With this Mysterious 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 Lin Longyue's help and cultivate spiritual Qi, I will be able to reach the Qi Circulation Fifth Floor within a month."

By Qi Circulation Fifth Floor and achieving mastery of the Qi Sea, one can obtain many Mystery Mechanism.

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

At that time, with the aid of the Gold-Slaughtering Saber, the Purple True Treasure Aura, the Azure Edge Method, the Dragon Roar Technique, and Xi Mu's Undying Willow Puppet at the Qi Circulation Sixth Floor, as well as the many resources he has acquired, he will no longer be the weakling in this Cave Heaven who needs to hide his head and tail and tremble with fear everywhere.

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.

--

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 Mysterious Qi Sea 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, he can now do in just ten days.

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

Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged.

The spring breeze blew by, but he was completely unaware, simply closing his eyes and circulating the Six-Qi True Method to its fullest extent.

Using the breakthrough method recorded in the Six-Qi True Method, he gradually gathered, compressed, and condensed the surging river of spiritual energy.

Just as the spiritual energy river was compressed to its limit, his Qi Sea 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 tremor.

A slight smile appeared on Chen Lingxi's lips, "The Qi Circulation Fifth Floor is complete."

At this moment, his Qi Sea.

The spiritual liquid gathered into a small Spirit Pool, seemingly small, yet like a bottomless abyss, 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 Spirit Pool as easily as if it were his own arm, flowing through the meridians with astonishing speed and smoothness.

"This is the Qi Circulation Fifth Floor," he muttered to himself, standing up, looking down at himself.

"Leakless from the pores, no dust remains, and vital energy does not dissipate."

This is the Mystery Mechanism of the [Leakless] in the Qi Circulation Fifth Floor.

A slight thought crossed his mind, and he tried to activate the Spirit Pool in his Qi Sea again.

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 towards his palm.

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

This was precisely the method Lin Suri had used to suppress him during the Total Perception Evolution 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 Aura, she would probably have been captured by Lin Suri Ri and fallen into his hands.

Now that he has entered the Qi Circulation Fifth Floor, he has also encountered this Mystery Mechanism and has come to understand its profound secrets.

"There is a third Mystery Mechanism, which is [the Qi-Flow Eruption]."

With a thought, the Spirit Pool Qi Sea 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 then released the spiritual energy from his Yongquan acupoint.

In an instant, a powerful current surged from the soles of his feet, like two invisible clouds 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 an eagle 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 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 Suri 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 figure as she sailed away in a small boat through the sea of clouds; and he recalled Xiao Changlü Lü's imposing power as he leaped high from the shattered mountain peak, traversing several miles.

Those scenes once seemed unattainable to him, like mortals gazing at the stars in the sky, only able to see a faint glimmer, yet unable to touch them no matter what.

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 making progress.

"This is only the Qi Circulation Fifth Floor." He landed on the ground and exclaimed, "The Mystery Mechanism of the Qi Circulation Sixth Floor are even more extraordinary."

The Six-Qi True Method records the Mystery Mechanism the Qi Circulation Sixth Floor.

For example, the [Golden Blood] Mystery Mechanism, 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 Spiritual Arrow, Xi Mu and other Qi Circulation Sixth Floor were still able to forcibly maintain their life force and activate their magic with spiritual Qi.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Golden-Blood Mystique.

And then there's the Mystery Mechanism the [Ninefold Return].

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 Ninefold Return Mystery Mechanism, 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 Mysterious 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 Qi Circulation Sixth Floor."

"At that time, with the Mystery Mechanism of Golden Blood and Ninefold Return, 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.
