Chapter 76: Module: Zhou Tian Qi Circulation

[Module: Zhou Tian Qi Circulation]

[Upon activation, you will gain access to a new system: Qi Refiner]

[You acquired the skill: Qi Sensitivity]

[You were blessed by the River Fairy: Jianghu, and gained the status: Water Qi]

[You were blessed by the Mountain and River Fairy: Shanyue, and gained the status: Earth Qi]

[You were blessed by the State Guardian Sprite: Royal Authority, and gained the status: Purple Qi]

At that moment, Chen Xiyi saw the entire world transform into various Qi Mechanisms, all messy and colorful.

He could not only see but also hear and smell these external Qi Mechanisms, and even feel the Qi Mechanisms that were emanating from his own body.

Water Qi, Earth Qi, and Purple Qi intertwined on him.

“So the meaning of Qi Sensitivity is to let my senses perceive these Qi Mechanisms, not that I developed true Qi inside my body?”

Chen Xiyi could not help but mutter to himself. He always felt something was not right.

Especially with Qi Sensitivity combined with his Spirituality Eyes, his vision became dazzling and chaotic, looking like overlapping layers without any normal view.

The module was loaded, but what came next?

Although this ability called Qi Sensitivity looked like a core skill, and the sudden blessings from the fairies with three unknown Qi Mechanisms made Chen Xiyi pleasantly surprised, it still did not explain why it only changed his vision.

‘Wait, I seem to have missed something.’ Chen Xiyi’s gaze shifted, and he found the surroundings were messy and out of place, like ruins after a building was forcibly demolished.

‘Maybe this is why that Fox Demon hid inside this grave mound.’

Chen Xiyi suspected he might have disrupted the original Qi field.

More importantly, the Book of Changes, which was previously the module carrier, did not disappear. Instead, it turned into the item Book of Changes and remained in his Inventory.

He took it out, turned off the Qi Sensitivity and Spirituality Eyes skills, and then he could clearly see the surroundings.

Then, after moving away from the grave mound, he sat on the ground and flipped through the Book of Changes.

Although the Book of Changes was only one book, it had three volumes, divided into Heaven, Earth, and Human volumes. This made Chen Xiyi very curious. He was sure the Book of Changes contained the knowledge he needed.

The entire book was not thick. Even with three volumes combined, it only had tens of thousands of words, not too many.

But it precisely explained the cause and effect and the existence called Qi Refiner.

“Qi Refiner, Qi Observation, Qi Manipulation and Spirit Wandering, this…”

After reading the book, it was like an outline explaining the system of Qi Mechanisms.

The Heaven volume talked about weather and seasons, the Earth volume described landforms and landscapes, while the Human volume focused on humans, using the Qi Mechanisms of the world to achieve Qi-controlling-Qi methods.

It was basically a beginner’s guide. More importantly, it described various Qi Mechanisms.

For example, the Purple Qi attached to Chen Xiyi by Royal Authority was a type of auspicious Qi. If someone tried to harm or curse him with Qi Mechanisms, or if he was in a place with evil energy or disasters, it would automatically protect him, or Chen Xiyi could control it to counterattack or defend.

The Heaven and Earth volumes mainly discussed Qi Mechanisms, Feng Shui, timing, terrain, and other common knowledge, while the Human volume not only had methods to deal with and manipulate Qi Mechanisms but also contained a method called Qi Refinement and Spirit Cultivation.

However, becoming a Qi Refiner was not easy. First, you needed talent—you had to be able to sense these Qi Mechanisms. Otherwise, how could you refine Qi? Without refining Qi, you could not cultivate the spirit. Without sufficient Primordial Spirit, you could not control Qi Mechanisms.

But from the wording in the Human volume, Chen Xiyi found that these Qi Refiners could not directly see various Qi Mechanisms like he could.

They could only observe by combining geomancy, face-reading, and some eye-related spells.

Chen Xiyi briefly tried the Qi Refinement and Spirit Cultivation method. Because he already had three types of Qi, it was very easy to start.

[You gained a new attribute: Primordial Spirit]

Chen Xiyi glanced at the just-for-fun panel. It really just added a Primordial Spirit attribute under Energy, and that was it—not even a numerical value. At least Health Points and Energy had percentages, but this thing did not even have a percentage.

In his mind, the Primordial Spirit manifested as three intertwined Qi Mechanisms: Water Qi, Earth Qi, and Purple Qi. In the future, if he gained more fairies, there would be even more Qi Mechanisms.

Chen Xiyi tried to influence the surroundings using the methods in the Book of Changes. Perhaps because of his Primordial Spirit, the Qi Mechanisms changed a tiny bit, but not much.

‘Further improvement and development are needed. So I need more books for reference. Although the Book of Changes is very useful, it is only a beginner’s guide like an instruction manual—still far from enough.’

‘The Formation Arrays and Feng Shui obtained from the Great Li Kingdom might be useful now, since they worked in previous experiments.’

‘Also, Ascension of the Sovereign Emperor seemed to have some traces of these Qi Refiners. Plus, the water-based force field I successfully created in Yongning Palace—are these two related?’

Two different worlds having similar systems made Chen Xiyi puzzled for a moment, but he quickly suppressed his doubts.

He activated Qi Sensitivity again. After learning the methods in the Book of Changes, he prepared to attempt his first cultivation session.

Looking at the area around the grave mound, the continuously dispersing Yin Qi scattered like gray smoke. Chen Xiyi understood: the Fox Demon was here because this place naturally gathered Yin Qi. Not only did it make its cultivation more efficient, but it also allowed it to cast various illusion spells.

Unfortunately, because Chen Xiyi destroyed the grave mound, the original Yin-gathering formation was completely ruined. So, these Yin Qi Mechanisms naturally started to dissipate.

Demons, ghosts, and monsters cultivated Yin Qi, Baleful Energy, and other Qi Mechanisms, while Qi Refiners cultivated whichever Qi Mechanisms suited their situation, though it was usually Yang Qi, Human Qi, and such.

‘Wait, the abilities of the Dao-Integrating Eternal.’

Chen Xiyi suddenly realized something—the two terrifying abilities hovering in the sky: Qi Devouring for Longevity, and Spirit-Dao Harmony.

He looked up at the sky and couldn’t help but think, ‘No wonder it has the ability to nurture dynasties.’

He saw a massive Qi Mechanism in the sky constantly absorbing various Qi Mechanisms like Yang Qi, Yin Qi, Human Qi, Death Qi, and more.

Qi Devouring for Longevity meant devouring the world’s Qi Mechanisms to enhance the Primordial Spirit and achieve longevity.

Spirit-Dao Harmony meant leaving the physical body, with the Primordial Spirit merging with heaven and earth.

Nurturing Dynasties provided it with Qi Mechanism Nourishment Resources.

Finally, the Art of I Ching Divination represented that this Immortal Being was a top-tier Qi Refiner. In other words, it was once a human who reached the peak of Qi Refining, allowing its Primordial Spirit to achieve Dao Harmony.
