55: Chapter 55 Qingyang Qi Chamber, High-Energy Environment

Looking down from high above, Wang An saw the entire camp: to the north, multiple mountain ranges stretched continuously, while to the south, a long river traversed the area.

The mountain ranges followed the formation of "Nine Dragons Spitting the Pearl," with the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi constantly converging toward the central node.

However, unlike the extreme Feng Shui energy fields artificially created by those cult organizations, this entire Feng Shui energy field circulated in a unified, primordial manner, appearing natural and harmonious. He could clearly feel that this place possessed a more vigorous vitality compared to the outside world.

It constantly influenced the various life forms around it, making their life activities more active.

This special region was backed by nine mountain ranges that converged here, resembling the "Nine Dragons Spitting the Pearl."

To the south was a winding, meandering river, and the central location was also where the river circled back.

A vast amount of water vapor gathered here, effectively forming a grand layout of a "Jade Belt Wrapping the Waist" and "Nine Dragons Nourishing Qi."

Seeing the mountain topography and Feng Shui veins of this place, Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing sighed in admiration.

"This place, with the Nine Dragons soaring and the Jade Belt wrapping the waist, is a site of excellent Feng Shui. There must be a grand tomb of a prince or noble buried here."

The military escort standing by was surprised by Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing's conclusion and said:

"Daoist Priest, you truly have great skill. This is indeed the tomb of a Han Dynasty prince. Although it has been visited by grave robbers, a large number of precious cultural relics and murals remain. They are relatively well-preserved; if not for this being a special region, we would have long since invited archaeological experts to excavate and protect it."

As they drew closer, everyone saw that the military camp had already grown to a significant scale.

Stationing and providing for the survival needs of several hundred people was no longer an issue. Although this place was inside the Forbidden Zone and various electronic devices were subject to strong electromagnetic interference, making them difficult to use,

this discovery was too significant, and it was not too far from densely populated urban areas, only about fifty or sixty kilometers away. The state had spent great effort to transport a large amount of anti-electromagnetic interference communication equipment and even laid fiber-optic cables to connect with the outside world.

Before long, the helicopter approached, and everyone landed.

The military escort, Second Lieutenant Lin, led them to first settle into the accommodation area.

After entering this core area, Wang An could clearly feel that at least a dozen strands of azure yang qi were converging here.

As a place where the clear qi of the mountains converged and the corner where the long river's water veins circled nine times, this was also the core of the entire Forbidden Zone's Feng Shui energy field.

Consequently, the speed at which azure yang qi was born here was much faster than the one or two strands per day that Wang An had previously observed at the monkey cave.

In this place, besides them, the cultivation-type Professional, there were also some academicians, experts, and other scientific research-type Professional dispatched from various research institutes.

These two groups of Professional rarely interacted, and this time, Wang An's group did not seek to communicate with those Professional engaged in scientific research.

Instead, they moved about freely. Some Daoist priests, proficient in knowledge like Feng Shui and divination, began to investigate the surrounding Feng Shui terrain on-site.

Those from the Buddhist and Confucian schools began their daily exercises, while Wang An and Daoist Mingxin of the Jingming Sect both stayed behind.

They each delved into their cultivation, perceiving the influence of this special environment on their practice.

Wang An practiced the [Refining Essence into Qi] and [Refining Qi into Spirit] techniques a few times.

He discovered that even without actively gathering it, the dense azure yang qi here, just by slowly cultivating and accepting its influence,

would have some beneficial effects on his body, slightly accelerating the growth of his Essence attribute.

Under normal circumstances, a small amount of Heaven and Earth Qi has a negligible effect on all things.

Only when it gathers like this, without leaking outward and naturally depleting, can it produce a long-term effect.

The Wondrous Qi that Wang An gathered and refined was the result of pure combination; it only required a small amount of True Qi to maintain its continuous legal effect. This utilization rate was highly efficient.

As for why he didn't gather more of the same type of Wondrous Qi, it was because maintaining these Wondrous Qi also incurred a cost. He was destined to only be able to comprehend more principles at the current stage, providing a basis for the extraordinary rule runes.

Therefore, to refine Wondrous Qi in the outside world, one needed a suitable environment to keep the Wondrous Qi form from degrading.

A pure, high-concentration Qingyang Qi Chamber was the ideal environment. Once set up, it would be equivalent to an automatically operating high-energy environment, greatly increasing his cultivation efficiency.

Moreover, it also provided an experimental site for later research on how to continuously improve the energy environment in the outside world.

After conceiving the Qingyang Qi Chamber, Wang An had a vision to continuously improve the energy environment in the outside world.

From a high-concentration Qingyang Qi Chamber, upgrading to a Qingyang Wondrous Qi Chamber, and even continuously improving to higher levels, would greatly increase his cultivation speed, forming a true treasure land for cultivation.

With Wang An's current attributes nearing 3 points, the influence of this place on him was truly too small.

Only cultivators with attributes reaching above 3 points would be able to perceive the subtle changes under this brief influence.

And those creatures that broke through their physiological limits very likely did so by unconsciously and continuously absorbing whole strands of azure yang qi, gradually growing stronger.

Wang An checked his Professional panel and three-dimensional attributes.

[Name: Wang An, Essence: 2.76, Qi: 2.85, Spirit: 3.20, Talents: Incarnation, Qi Observation, Profession: Intelligent Life, Student, Martial Artist, Archer, Qi Refiner, Mechanical Engineer, Technician, Cultivation Methods: [Refining Essence into Qi (Proficient, 110 / 1000)] [Refining Qi into Spirit (Beginner, 52 / 100)], Innate Qi: [Innate Lunar Essence Spirit-Nourishing Mysterious Qi (27%)] [Innate Lesser Yang Sunlight Nourishing Mystery Qi (9%)] [Innate Taiqing Spirit Water Nourishing Qi (3.9%)] [Innate Gui Water Sweet Dew Moistening Marvelous Qi (0.5%)], Heaven and Earth Qi: azure yang qi 1, Blood Spirit Qi 1, Death Spirit Qi 1, Astral Qi 28, Gold-Yang Qi 8]

Feeling the cultivation speed of Essence and Qi, he would be able to reach 3 points within a week.

Wang An urgently needed a more abundant energy environment to maintain his cultivation progress.

Therefore, observing the terrain here to design his own high-concentration, pure Qingyang Qi Chamber had become a pressing matter.

As for whether to cooperate with the authorities, he felt it was still too early.

Even if his three-dimensional attributes all broke through 3 points, he would still completely lack the foundation to negotiate and cooperate with the authorities.

The basis for cooperation is only established when status and strength are relatively equal.

If he exposed his research, the best outcome would be that he would have to continue participating in the study of Feng Shui energy fields according to the authorities' research plan.

But if that were the case, then everything about Wang An would be exposed under the sun, analyzed one by one by countless people holding magnifying glasses.

His various identities would also not withstand careful investigation by the authorities and would soon be exposed.
