33: Chapter 33 [The Wonderful Qi of the Primordial Lesser Yang Sunlight Nourishing Life] and Discussion on Local Qi Fields

He planned to rely on the resources and channels of Chunhe Aluminum Industry to accelerate his growth, while actively exploring and collecting job-change stones to take on more professions and constantly become stronger.

As for joining the official organization for training, after certifying his status as a Professional and learning that the state's direction for training Professionals was usually towards becoming scientists, he lost interest.

He preferred the feeling of controlling his own power. Although joining the official organization could bring many benefits, it also meant losing freedom, and a single word from them could send him into the abyss. As someone with no parents, no children, no house, and no loans—a "three-no" person—he was destined not to be highly valued.

Moreover, after taking on the [Intelligent Life] profession, he awakened the [Reduction] talent.

[Reduction] Function: You receive a 20% reduction in requirements for profession-related aspects.

It was precisely by relying on this talent that he was able to successfully take on the profession with stats of 1.2 Essence and 1.2 Spirit.

Therefore, he decided to develop independently, crafting professions according to his own ideas. As his abilities continued to grow, he believed there would always be a place for him in this world.

Meanwhile, Wang An's main body reorganized his somewhat cluttered panel and pulled up the profession panel.

[ Name: Wang An, Essence: 2.48, Qi: 2.57, Spirit: 3.06, Talents: Incarnation, Qi Observation, Profession: Intelligent Life, Student, Martial Artist, Archer, Qi Refiner, Mechanical Engineer, Technician, Cultivation Methods: [Refining Essence into Qi (Proficient, 82/1000)] [Refining Qi into Spirit (Novice, 26/100)], Profession Prerequisites: [Compound Archery (Proficient, 825/1000)] [Basic Taijiquan (Proficient, 1000/1000)], [Fitness Qigong Baduanjin (Proficient, 1000/1000)], [Mindfulness Meditation (Proficient, 1000/1000)], Profession Skills: [Job Guidance], [Focus], [Repair], [Precision], [Qi Gathering], [Qi Refining], [Flash of Inspiration], [Perception Enhancement], Innate Qi: [Innate Lesser Yang Sunlight Nourishing Mystery Qi], Wondrous Method: [Spirit Nourishing Method] ]

His Spirit stat now had two advanced methods: [Refining Qi into Spirit] and [Spirit Nourishing Method], which allowed Wang An to continue growing at a rate of 0.02 per day even with a Spirit stat over 3.

At this stage, no medicine could improve cultivation speed anymore; he could only rely on advanced methods for a slight increase.

His Qi stat had [Refining Essence into Qi] and [Refining Qi into Spirit], and the growth rate was decent, at around 0.04.

The growth rate of his Essence stat was the slowest; cultivating [Refining Essence into Qi] only increased it by 0.02 per day.

However, when he saw the sun formed by the accumulation of 108 wisps of Lesser Yang Qi floating above the Essence-Qi lake in his lower dantian, Wang An felt a slight improvement in his Essence and Qi.

Having completed the accumulation of Heaven and Earth Qi—Lesser Yang Qi—for the day, he used the [Qi Refining] skill to rapidly combine these Lesser Yang Qi with the True Qi in his dantian.

After an unknown amount of time, a rising sun that radiated warmth and nurtured all living things gradually condensed. As it stabilized and faint patterns appeared on it, a piece of information surfaced in his mind.

[Innate Lesser Yang Sunlight Nourishing Mystery Qi]: Its form is like a rising sun; the sunlight nourishes all things, sustains life, and manifests wondrous methods.

Wondrous Method: Bathe in Wondrous Qi, bask in the sunlight, sustain life, and generate Essence and Qi.

After this [Innate Lesser Yang Sunlight Nourishing Mystery Qi] was formed, Wang An felt a warmth in his dantian, and the Essence-Qi lake became more active. He could feel the process of refining True Qi becoming faster and smoother.

Moreover, by circulating the Wondrous Method and activating the basking sunlight, he could feel the Essence-Qi lake growing visibly. It wouldn't be long before both his Essence and Qi stats exceeded 3 points.

"The research on the Feng Shui Master profession needs to be accelerated."

These past few days, besides his normal cultivation, Wang An hadn't been idle. By observing through his Incarnation's perspective and calculating the Feng Shui Qi field topography, he had been studying the process of Heaven and Earth Qi gathering in the Monkey Cave and the Wild Boar Lair.

Wang An already had a rough understanding of what kind of layout could cause the Heaven and Earth Qi of a place to continuously gather towards a specific location.

Although he didn't know for the moment how to combine two different types of Heaven and Earth Qi to refine a new type of Heaven and Earth Qi, that didn't stop him from looking for patterns through experiments. He could first set up a local Qi field that continuously gathered the clear Qi of the mountains, and then observe its influence and changes.

It just so happened that the villa area where Wang An lived had a suitable topography. It was shaped like the letter "A", with the residential area enclosed within the "A", while all other sides were mountain forests.

The most ideal Feng Shui topography for gathering clear Qi was funnel-shaped, surrounded by forests with no exit. This way, through simple arrangements, one could gather the surrounding clear Qi with extremely high efficiency. However, such perfect Feng Shui topography generally did not appear naturally in the world.

The Monkey Cave gathered clear Qi from the east and west, while the Wild Boar Lair was a non-standard basin forest that could gather the clear Qi inside the basin as well as the clear Qi from the surrounding mountains, which counted as a relatively efficient local Qi field.

Over the past few days, Wang An had already finished calculating the movement trajectory of the clear Qi based on the local Feng Shui topography.

The placement of job-change stones was, of course, not useful everywhere. It required calculating the orbits, flow rates, and time influences of the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi to ensure that the arrangement would not obstruct or affect the flow of other Qi, and instead accelerate the gathering of clear Qi.

Given that this place had a huge opening, besides the arrangement for gathering clear Qi, Wang An also needed to set up another local Qi field to block the loss of clear Qi.

He could use the water Qi gathered at the southern opening to drive the water Qi to rush northward, setting up this barrier to prevent the clear Qi from flowing outward.

Thus, a local Qi field capable of continuously gathering clear Qi would be completed.

Wang An estimated that with the 16 job-change stones he currently possessed, he could gather as many as 20 streams of clear Qi per day. In other words, Wang An's speed of Qi Gathering was four or five times faster than before, which counted as a major breakthrough.

And if he wanted to set up the kind of large-scale Feng Shui Qi field that could affect a local magnetic field, he might need the Heaven and Earth Qi of this place to gather to a certain degree and reach a certain state.

While the Heaven and Earth Qi of a place could be continuously produced, the function of Heaven and Earth Qi was to maintain the balance of the local Qi field.

If Wang An were to recklessly and continuously gather the clear Qi of an entire area, the consequence would be that the trees and organisms in other places would lose the nourishing cycle of Heaven and Earth Qi. Their life activities would gradually slow down, their ecological cycling ability would gradually decline, and eventually, the local ecosystem would be destroyed.

The birth of water Qi would further decrease, and the Earth Vein Qi, due to the lack of ecological transformation, would gradually deposit and transform into a certain kind of simple Earth Qi.
