• Wang An reviewed his profession panel and found that advanced methods continued to improve his spirit, qi, and essence at different rates.

• Wang An compared his comprehension of three kinds of Innate Mystic Qi and used five-element numerology to conclude that Heavenly River Water suited him best.
• Wang An determined that a Heavenly River Water Dao foundation required water qi, star qi, yin qi, and a compatible form of yang qi, since he could not safely absorb Extreme Yang or Extreme Yin qi.

At the South China Sea Launch Site, Wang An discovered how sunlight, human crowds, and metal qi from a rocket launch combined to form Metal Yang Qi. He gathered five strands before exhaustion forced him to stop.
