I'm farming treasure chests in the female-oriented world.

Chapter 47 Qi Sea

Xia Xue's figure flashed and reappeared, already on the balcony.

"That direction is the direction of the Shi family."

A hint of doubt flashed in Xia Xue's eyes.

"Why is there such a large fluctuation of mystical energy coming from the direction of the Shi family?"

Xia Xue sensed something and turned to look in the direction of the central lake in Jingyuan.

"Huh, why is the feng shui formation activated at this time?"

Activating it at this time, hehe, I wonder what connection it has with the Shi family's massive mystical arts?

"Damn it, the feng shui formation is draining my luck!"

Xia Xue suddenly sensed that her luck had been slightly affected by an external force. She immediately made a hand seal and activated the feng shui array that had been set up in the villa beforehand.

"Fortunately, after discovering the problem with Jingyuan's feng shui, a corresponding feng shui formation was set up overnight; otherwise, this would have been truly dangerous."

If one's fortune is greatly diminished, the consequences can range from mild physical weakness to bad luck, and in severe cases, death and the loss of one's spiritual essence.

"How dare they scheme against me! Humph!"

Observe the aura!

The world in Xia Xue's eyes seemed to have a curtain lifted, revealing a world composed of destiny before her.

"The fortune of everyone in Jingyuan is gathering in the sky above the center of the lake, transforming into spiritual energy. Then it splits into two streams: one stream transforms into pure spiritual energy and gathers in a certain direction in the east of Jingyuan, while the other stream of mixed spiritual energy gathers in the direction of the Shi family."

The mixed spiritual energy disappeared after entering the Shi family, clearly consumed by that massive mystical technique.

But that pure spiritual energy is still there, and it's accumulating more and more.

Xia Xue's eyes lit up.

"Crisis, crisis, danger and opportunity coexist. With this pure spiritual energy, perhaps my 'Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong' can take another step forward."

Xia Xue formed a hand seal to protect her own fortune. With a leap, she landed on the ground, her figure disappearing and reappearing as she quickly headed towards the direction where the spiritual energy of Jingyuan was gathering in the east.

"Xiaoyao Residence? Xie Yanqing's residence? Was this done by the Xie family?"

Xia Xue flashed into the courtyard and glanced in the direction of Xie Yanqing's bedroom.

Xie Yanqing is fast asleep.

"It seems Xie Yanqing was unaware of this, so it must have been someone else in the Xie family pulling the strings."

Xia Xue went straight to the stone pavilion in the backyard.

"This stone pavilion is the core of the formation; all the pure spiritual energy gathers in the stone pavilion."

Looking at the wisps of pure spiritual energy before her, as lively and dazzling as elves, a look of amazement flashed in Xia Xue's eyes.

"So this is what spiritual energy is like."

Since she began practicing the Daoist Natural Technique, she has never had any close contact with spiritual energy in real life.

Moreover, it is such pure spiritual energy.

"Unfortunately, absorbing spiritual energy takes time."

It can take anywhere from a few hours to more than ten hours.

The person controlling the feng shui formation obviously wouldn't give her that time.

"Fine, I'll absorb as much as I can."

Xia Xue wasted no more time. In a flash, she sat cross-legged on the round table in the center of the stone pavilion.

Xia Xue was about to activate the secret technique of "Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong" to forcibly absorb the spiritual energy outside her body when the system's voice suddenly sounded.

"An item highly compatible with the 'Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong' has been detected. Treasure chest is being generated..."

Huh? The system has this function?

As the system voice sounded, the stone pavilion was like a bathtub with its drain valve turned on, and the spiritual energy within it rapidly entered Xia Xue's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This speed at which it absorbs spiritual energy is a hundred times faster than mine, isn't it?"

Within seconds, the spiritual energy of the stone pavilion had completely disappeared.

"No, I underestimated it; it's at least a thousand times worse!"

As the spiritual energy completely disappeared, the system's voice sounded again.

"Open the treasure chest, and the Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong will advance from the Nourishing Body Realm to the Qi Sea Realm."

"Qi Sea Realm: Heaven and Earth are connected, Qi Sea is born. The second realm of the Daoist Natural Technique, true Qi gathers in the Qi Sea and transforms into true essence. The wonder of true essence resides in the mind, extraordinary power, infinite possibilities."

As the system notification disappeared, Xia Xue felt a pop, as if a seal on his body had been broken, and he felt as if he had been reborn. He felt as if an invisible bond had created a deeper connection between him and this world.

Xia Xue lowered her eyes and looked down at her lower abdomen.

Three inches below the navel, it's as if a space of a different dimension suddenly appears, overlapping with the dimension where the body is located.

The true energy that was constantly flowing through the body surged into it like weary birds returning to their forest, and then, as if undergoing a qualitative change from gas to liquid, it transformed into streams of true essence.

"A thousand strands of true energy only condensed into a single strand of true essence."

A difference of a thousandfold.

"Even without a Qi Sea, the same amount of True Essence stored in the meridians is enough to crush True Qi."

Not to mention the Qi Sea (a point on the body's energy center).

The amount of energy stored in the Qi Sea is far greater than that of the meridians.

In terms of quantification, the difference is approximately a thousandfold.

"I don't know if everyone is like this, or if the Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong is special, but only I am like this."

The true essence flowed out from the dantian and returned to the meridians. Xia Xue felt as if she had returned to the time when she first started practicing the "Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong". Her physical fitness was improving rapidly at a visible speed as the true essence circulated.

This is not the biggest change.

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surges into the Qi Sea through the Heaven and Earth Bridge."

The biggest change is that he can not only refine the bio-energy within his body, but also absorb the spiritual energy that is free in the world.

"Wait, something's not right, it's not just spiritual energy."

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the power of stars, the turbid energy of the earth, the unclaimed fortune, and so on—all the unclaimed energy within a zhang radius around Xia Xue was slowly and spontaneously flowing into her dantian, transforming into true essence that she could completely control.

"Mastery of all attributes."

Only now does the "Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong" truly reveal its fangs, displaying its domineering and powerful side.

"In this way, for me, the whole world is a fairyland."

Unlike other cultivators who can only absorb a certain type of energy or require a specific environment to cultivate, Xia Xue does not need to do so.

Presumably, the "immortal mountain" that Nanli mentioned refers to is such a special place.

"There's still plenty of time; perhaps I can gain even more."

Xia Xue stood up and looked at the stone table in front of her.

"There must be a spiritual object within the core of the formation."

Xia Xue made a hand seal with her left hand, her eyes gleaming. She circled the stone table twice, finally letting out a long breath and a smile appeared on her face.

"We've found a solution."

Xia Xue's hand seals changed continuously, casting out a series of magic seals that disappeared into the stone table.

"open!"

Wow, true essence is something else.

"Comparing true qi to true essence is like the difference between cold weapons and firearms."

They are products from completely different dimensions.

"After advancing to the Qi Sea Realm, my profound techniques and secret methods finally unleashed their full power, and some methods that were previously unusable finally found their place."

Just like these hand seals, when one has true qi, one can only achieve the effect of protecting oneself and activating feng shui formations by changing one's own energy field. However, once one has true essence, one can directly cast hand seals to achieve the same effect.

With the forceful intervention of the Dharma Seal in the operation of the Feng Shui, the core of the formation was finally forcibly broken.

An arc of light flashed, followed by a deep rumble. A gust of wind suddenly appeared, spreading outward from the stone table. Moments later, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared, then vanished into the world like bubbles, as if it were water without a source or a tree without roots.

"That's quite a commotion."

Xia Xue didn't dare to delay, so she quickly picked up the stone table, put it aside, and took out the box inside.

"How dare you!"

A loud shout rang out from the center of Jingyuan, on the island in the lake.

The sound came through a feng shui formation.

Like the voice of a god, grand and majestic, it carries an inherent pressure.

Xia Xue's body trembled slightly, and her face paled.

"The opponent's strength, aided by the feng shui formation, is too great."

The gap is too large; they cannot compete.

"Impotent rage".

Xia Xue glanced towards the center of the lake, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

"I'm gone."

Xia Xue calmly held the box, then turned into a blur and disappeared from the spot.
