34: Chapter 34 Small Feng Shui Energy Field

Therefore, a truly complete Feng Shui Qi field must be in a state capable of maintaining stability or expanding.

"As for how to achieve self-sustenance for the local Feng Shui Qi field in this A-shaped terrain, we need to investigate the source of the Clear Qi."

For these past few days, Wang An has been observing the conditions under which the mountain forest Clear Qi is born in the surrounding forests.

He eventually discovered that Clear Qi is actually formed by the combination of mountain forest Water Qi and Living Being Qi.

What is combination?

It is the merging of multiple elements to create something new. Unlike the [Qi Refining] skill of Wang An, the [Qi Refiner], which involves refining the same type, this is the mutual generation of different types.

Mountain forest Water Qi flows from all around Heaven and Earth down to the surface forests, combining with Living Being Qi to form the mountain forest Clear Qi that can nourish all things and all living beings.

However, after observing this Living Being Qi, Wang An discovered it could not be harvested, because every strand of Living Being Qi belongs to the specific living being that gave birth to it; it is usually constrained by the local living being and cannot flow.

To harvest this type of Qi, one would need to use some method to kill or sever all living beings associated with this strand of Living Being Qi without causing the Living Being Qi to degenerate into other types of Qi.

However, in Wang An's current understanding, such a method does not exist. Once every living being linked to the Living Being Qi dies rapidly, this strand of Living Being Qi will also degenerate accordingly. It is like a status monitor for all living beings in an area; if a small number of living beings show abnormalities, it will trigger a reaction from this monitor, let alone death.

Wang An, shuttling through the mountain forest, thought to himself.

"Perhaps there is another way."

Looking at the lush vegetation and the joyfully chirping insects and birds.

In Wang An's perspective, behind every individual living being capable of surviving on its own, a thin thread condenses, converging into a giant web that shrouds the entire land. Moving one thread affects the whole body; this is Living Being Qi.

"Cultivate a higher-level Living Being Qi upon the existing Living Being Qi, then harvest the original and replace it with the higher-level one."

"Through this process of replacement, one can minimize the chance of the original forest Qi degenerating."

"However, wanting to cultivate a higher-level Living Being Qi is still too far away for me."

And Living Being Qi is formed by the combination of Water Qi, Wood Qi, and Earth Qi through some complex process; at least that is the case for the Living Being Qi Wang An observed.

The so-called Water Qi, Wood Qi, and Earth Qi actually refer to broad categories; Qi from different sources possesses different properties.

Taking the Water Qi Wang An has observed these past few days as an example, it can be divided into Ocean Water Qi, Long River Water Qi, Lake Water Qi, Rainwater Qi, Mountain Forest Water Qi, and so on.

The other Five Elements and Yin and Yang are the same.

However, with Wang An's current abilities, he cannot yet carefully distinguish and understand the properties and functions of Heaven and Earth Qi from different sources within the same broad category.

With his current methods, he can only understand their properties and functions by refining the same type into Wondrous Qi and revealing its form and substance.

Now that Wang An knows that Clear Qi originates from Water Qi and Living Being Qi, he can think of ways to improve the efficiency and speed of the combination of Water Qi and Living Being Qi, thereby accelerating the replenishment of Clear Qi throughout the ecosystem and maintaining the stable operation of the entire Feng Shui Qi field.

Since Living Being Qi originates from all living beings in the ecosystem, and is limited by the local terrain and human activities, its capacity to carry living beings is limited.

Therefore, returning to the starting point, increasing the flow speed and quantity of Water Qi among living beings can increase the rate at which the entire area provides Clear Qi, enabling the Feng Shui Qi field to achieve self-sustenance.

Achieving self-sustenance is not the complete form of a Feng Shui Qi field; after all, in this process, everything still involves the participation of the job-change stone.

Only through continuous modification, expansion, and maintenance, so that the entire Feng Shui Qi field can still maintain normal operation after the job-change stone is withdrawn, can a complete Feng Shui Qi field be considered successfully deployed.

The villa area where Wang An is located, at its top, is the position where Wang An has set up the Clear Qi aggregation node.

There is a small dam acting as a water storage point. At the lower opening of the A-shaped terrain, water flowing out from the dam flows downwards into a lake, and finally flows out from the lake into the distant Shawu River.

Having figured out the direction of this water vein, Wang An can reduce the number of job-change stones used to gather Clear Qi and increase the structures that obstruct the outflow of Water Qi.

Then, by guiding it towards the surrounding forests, the Water Qi can enter the entire local Qi field cycle.

Actually, this achieves a basic state of self-sustenance and can already be considered a small-scale Feng Shui Qi field, although it cannot reach the level of a large-scale Heaven and Earth Feng Shui Qi field that can induce Heaven and Earth magnetic fields and shield external artificial signals.

However, according to Wang An's calculations, if it operates like this for about 20 years, this Feng Shui Qi field will continuously expand outwards until it covers the entire forest park, at which point it may become a large-scale Heaven and Earth Feng Shui Qi field, thereby inducing Heaven and Earth magnetic fields.

Calculating up to this point, a question arose in Wang An's heart.

"How were those large-scale Heaven and Earth Feng Shui Qi fields in the Forbidden Zones, which formed in a short period, created?"

"Perhaps it is possible that certain meteorites landed on special nodes, thereby activating the Feng Shui Qi field of the entire area."

"However, according to current official reports, almost all confirmed areas with more than 20 meteorite impact points have electromagnetic interference."

"Why can most meteorites activate the Feng Shui Qi field of the impact area? There might be some more thought-provoking questions hidden within this."

Wang An stopped these conjectures that were still relatively far from him and began to organize his research on Feng Shui Qi fields from these past few days.

The entire study of Feng Shui Qi fields started with the influence of job-change stones on the trajectories of Heaven and Earth Qi, moved to the understanding of constructing local Qi fields, then to the self-sustenance of small-scale Feng Shui Qi fields, followed by complete Feng Shui Qi fields, and finally large-scale Heaven and Earth Feng Shui Qi fields.

Wang An's current research is stalled at the small-scale Feng Shui Qi field stage. As for how to ensure that the Feng Shui Qi field can still operate after the job-change stone is withdrawn, perhaps the true focal point lies in the principles of each type of Heaven and Earth Qi within the Feng Shui Qi field.

On April 30th, after days of experiments and modifications, Wang An had basically completed the layout of this small-scale Feng Shui Qi field.

Early morning, deep within the dam, in an uninhabited place.

A young man with a clear appearance, a resolute face, and an upright posture sat cross-legged there.

As the last strand of Clear Qi was harvested into his body, in just four or five days, Wang An had completed the refining of 108 strands of mountain forest Clear Qi.

In Wang An's lower dantian, these 108 strands of Clear Qi were like a gentle breeze, drifting above the entire lake of Essence Qi; they were actually like veils as thin as cicada wings, sometimes making contact with the True Qi cloud, and sometimes circulating around the two strands of Innate Wondrous Qi.

Wang An used the [Qi Refining] skill again. These mountain forest Clear Qi, which seemed like invisible breezes, were kneaded together, aggregating inward, while simultaneously blending and circulating with the misty True Qi, gradually revealing bits of form and substance, yet appearing formless and shadowless.

When the final bits of patterns faintly appeared, a strand of information was fed back into Wang An's mind.

[Innate Taiqing Spirit Water Nourishing Qi] Its form is like a breeze in the mountains, nourishing the spiritual nature of all things, and revealing Wondrous Methods by nourishing the origin.

Wondrous Method: Savor the Wondrous Qi, Taiqing Spirit Water, cultivate the origin and nourish the nature.
