607 Seeking Longevity (III)

w.a.n.g Wei rode a horse to a city very close to the capital of Great Lu. His departure alerted many people, thinking he was heading to the capital. As such, he encountered a few a.s.sa.s.sination attempts in the process but dealt with them quickly.

After arriving at his destination, he headed straight to a mansion he had built more than 20 years ago. The hired maids had cleaned the villa before his arrival, but the caretaker dismissed them before w.a.n.g Wei's arrival.

As soon as w.a.n.g Wei stepped into the yard, he could feel his breathing was smoother, his mind clearer, and the air fresher. There was a tall and luscious tree in the backyard, and despite the fact it was fall, it still had all its leaves.

'There seems to be no problem with the feng shui formation,' thought w.a.n.g Wei. With this world's low amount of Spiritual Qi and not having access to his spiritual power, he could not use runes to make formations.

As such, he had to use Feng Shui Methods of using the surroundings to set up formation and borrow the power of Heaven and Earth. w.a.n.g Wei calculated the perfect spot where Spiritual Qi naturally flowed in the entire Great Lu Dynasty.

Then, he built countless cities for the formation, using the current mansion as the core. The result was a powerful Qi Gathering Array to gather all the scattered Spiritual Qi of the Great Lu Dynasty.

After checking that nothing had gone wrong, w.a.n.g Wei went to a sealed room deep underneath the mansion. He locked himself inside before cultivating.

After entering a deep state of cultivation, he could sense all the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding.

'After gathering for 20 years, there is so little,' thought w.a.n.g Wei, who was speechless. He could swear a mortal back home pa.s.sively breathed in more Spiritual Qi than this entire country.

'The environment is vital for cultivators.' He could imagine how horrible it would be to live in such a terrible environment, trying to cultivate. After shaking his head, he continued with his cultivation. He used the [Qi Refining Method] he created to absorb and condense the energy in his dantian.

After a few hours, he heard a loud boom and saw a small dimension above his navel.

'So small?'

w.a.n.g Wei decided to complain no longer as this was not an issue of his body's talent but the environment. And unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about that.

In his dantian, he saw a gas floating; it was his new Inner Qi.

'Since I've been using a martial art theme, let's called it internal energy.' He created this energy based on the True Yuan he learned from Zhen Chao's world. However, it was of way lower quality.

'Low Spiritual Qi also means the laws of this world are incomplete, which leads to a lower power ceiling and many other restrictions,' a.n.a.lyzed w.a.n.g Wei before continuing to cultivate. Using the remaining Qi, he expanded his dantian while also increasing his inner energy.

Then, he checked his body. 'My Lifespan has increased from 120 to 250 years old. And once I've completed this stage, I could add more.'

w.a.n.g Wei did not leave his mansion as he focused on cultivation. After using all the Spiritual Qi, the process drastically slowed down, so he had to use alternative methods. With inner energy, he could finally use some alchemy techniques.

He refined the blood energy in meats into pills. With this method, he did not need to eat 50 cows daily but turned them into a pill containing their combined condensed blood energy.

Subsequently, he converted the blood energy in the pills into inner energy to continue his cultivation. Additionally, his business would keep sending him some rare spiritual herbs, and he would create Qi Refining Pill to help him.

As such, w.a.n.g Wei spent years in retreat, only leaving his mansion three times to deal with some people who had no eyes and tried to get rid of his resource-gathering business. It took him 15 years to fill his dantian before proceeding to the next stage of cultivation.

The human body requires Five Elements and Yin-Yang to balance. And doing so can prolong life and achieve longevity. w.a.n.g Wei followed that philosophy by using his organs to generate Five Element Qi and fusing them with his inner energy. The process took him another 15 years of nonstop cultivating, regardless of the loneliness and isolation of this world.

After the Five Elements Qi Baptis.e.m.e.nt, w.a.n.g Wei's lifespan increased by another 50 years for a total of 300 years. So, he proceeded to the Yin-Yang Balance by getting the energy he wanted from the sun and moon.

w.a.n.g Wei initially wanted to create a high martial system based on star power. Regrettably, he could not sense any star power, most likely, due to the laws of this world. He could feel the energy from the sun and moon, but his body simply could not bear the energy of these heavenly bodies in large quant.i.ty.

He did a few experiments, and people could not condense Sun Powers into their bodies and dantian. The Pure Yang Energy would burn anyone to ashes. The sun went for the moon and Pure Yin energy as it would freeze people to death.

He waited under the yard's tree at dawn when the first sunlight appeared. He hurriedly used his method to catch the tiniest of Yang Qi. Instantly, his body turned red, and an intense heat emanated from his body, charring his clothes.

w.a.n.g Wei felt he would spontaneously combust and die. Luckily, he swallowed a Yin-nature pill before his attempt, which reduced the effect. w.a.n.g Wei ignored the pain as he fused the Yang Qi with his inner energy, sublimating it to a higher level.

"Phew," he exhaled a hot breath. He checked his body and discovered he had lost five years of lifespan because of the Yang Qi damage. He was not surprised as he calculated he would lose more until he absorbed Yin Qi to balance his inner energy. After that, he will recuperate his loss and gain more.

w.a.n.g Wei continued absorbing Yang Qi until he met the requirement. Then, he cultivated at dusk to absorb Yin Qi until he achieved balance. And as his inner energy flew throughout every part of his body, it removed impurities while strengthening his flesh and increasing his life span.

The process took him 20 years, meaning he spent 50 years in the [Qi Refining Realm], and that was only because it was him. If it was a normal person with ordinary talent or even above average channel, they might never fill their dantian.

'It's a shame I could not condense a core,' thought w.a.n.g Wei. His previous plan was to condense his inner energy to sublimate it into a higher form. Unfortunately, due to the incomplete rules of this world, the process did not succeed. So, w.a.n.g Wei had to continue on his previously established plan.

"I need a break," muttered w.a.n.g Wei. He essentially spent the past few years nonstop cultivating. Although 50 years was nothing to him, he also wanted to enjoy himself a little.

So, he left his mansion to visit his business and the surrounding cities. He even visited the surrounding dynasties since Great Lu was not the only one in this world.

His paw had secretly reached these dynasties as he set up the Qi Gathering Formation to gather most of the Qi. However, he did not use them since he wanted to use them for the [Essence Refining Method].

While w.a.n.g Wei enjoyed his travel, news, and rumors about him spread throughout the entire world. And the rumor was that he was immortal. After all, he was now in his later 80s, but his face had not changed from a teenager in his 20s.

However, when people wanted to talk to him or make his acquaintance, he had already returned to his mansion to cultivate. Using his inner energy and reserved Spiritual Qi, he targeted his Niwan Palace to open his Sea of Consciousness. The process was tedious and lengthy, but he eventually opened a small s.p.a.ce, gaining access to his spiritual power.

In the cultivation room, w.a.n.g Wei suddenly floated in the air. He used his spiritual power as telekinesis to levitate. Unfortunately, he could only fly for about 10 minutes before running out.

After shaking his head in dismay, w.a.n.g Wei continued to cultivate. He used his inner energy and remaining Qi to expand his Sea of Consciousness and increase spiritual power.

"Phew," he muttered. "At this rate, I'll never be able to condense my soul." He now had a lifespan of 800 years old, but he did not think it was enough to win this trial.

While thinking about his next step, he suddenly sensed something and looked in the distance. He smiled: "I guess I don't have to go myself."

He left the retreat room and walked to the yard, and waited. Less than a minute later, a young man walked into the yard. The latter instantly became shocked after seeing w.a.n.g Wei.

'World's Richest Man, w.a.n.g Wei, should be 103 years old this year, but he looks younger than me. The rumors were true,' through the young man, as a decisive look appeared on his face. He knelt on the ground, shocking his entourage.

"Immortal, please help me."
