My Home's Ancient Well Connects to the Martial Arts World

Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Incredibly Dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi

The Ye Mansion was finally complete. After leaving Immortal Spring Manor, Ye Xing returned to the grand estate to pay the workers the remainder of their wages, then prepared to move in.

There wasn’t much to move, really. It was mainly Qiao Qiao and Auntie Qiao moving into the Ye Mansion.

Then there was the trip to town to purchase mahogany furniture and other necessities. Though they seemed like trivial errands, they ended up taking the entire afternoon.

「Dusk fell as the sun set in the west.」

After dinner and a stroll around the garden, Ye Xing prepared to return to the Training Room to meditate and practice his Internal Cultivation Methods.

’The bathrooms still need two toilets, and I need to install a showerhead. The living room should have a large-screen LCD TV, and a computer and a diesel generator are also essential. There’s so much to buy... I have to install the plumbing and electricity myself, too. This is going to keep me busy.’ Ye Xing mused as he walked toward the Training Room, already planning what he needed to buy the next day.

”Big Brother!” a clear, childish voice called out from behind him.

Ye Xing turned to see the little girl, Qiao Qiao, and couldn’t help but smile. ”What is it, Qiao’Er? Are you happy with the new house?”

”Mhm, the new house is really big and pretty,” the little girl said joyfully.

”Haha, once I make a lot of money, I’ll build an even bigger and more beautiful one,” Ye Xing laughed. ”Alright now, I’m going to go train.”

He paused, then added seriously, ”Oh, right, Qiao’Er. Sometimes my training can take a whole day. So, unless it’s something really important, you absolutely must not disturb me, okay?”

”Mhm, I know!” The little girl nodded obediently.

Over the past month, Ye Xing had often spent long periods meditating and in Cultivation, so the little girl knew not to disturb him.

The Training Room was in the most secluded part of the entire mansion. Ye Xing had even made the door very small; you could easily miss it if you weren’t looking closely. After entering the Training Room, Ye Xing quickly locked the door from the inside.

’I’ll meditate and cultivate here tonight. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi on Earth is too thin. I’ll go back tomorrow.’ Ye Xing’s gaze shifted. He glanced toward the wooden cabinet, then sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion in the Training Room.

’According to Miss Tantai, if I practice the Innate Skill, I can become a Martial Artist in seven days. I can’t wait!’ Ye Xing eagerly took the Secret Manual from his robes and opened it. Immediately, rows of ancient seal script characters met his eyes—

”The Way of Heaven, all things possess a spirit... Innate Qi exists within the body, gathered by... breathing in and out, circulating unceasingly, endlessly generating!”

Following the Cultivation Technique Mantra of the Innate Skill, Ye Xing quieted his mind, closed his eyes, and began to practice his Internal Cultivation Methods.

He sat cross-legged, his Five Hearts Facing Heaven, silently reciting the Heart Method Mantra in his mind.

EXHALE—

INHALE—

He inhaled slowly, then gradually exhaled. With each breath, his mind grew clearer. He continued breathing quietly, and time trickled by.

Night fell, cloaking the land in darkness. Before long, the moon rose above the treetops, casting a hazy glow. A gentle breeze stirred, and dark clouds drifted across the sky.

As time passed, the darkness of night gradually began to thin.

In the blink of an eye, the night was over. Faint light shone through the skylight, illuminating the Training Room.

”Haaah... It’s dawn already? So fast!” Ye Xing opened his eyes. They shone with a bright light, and his whole body was brimming with energy, as if he possessed an inexhaustible strength.

Joy filled Ye Xing’s eyes. ’Miss Tantai is truly extraordinary. This Innate Skill is practically a Divine Skill, so much stronger than the Basic Breathing and Exhaling Technique. At this rate, I might become a Martial Artist in just five or six days! I’ll continue my Cultivation tonight, but for now, I need to make a trip back to Earth. I’ve been away for so long, and I have a pile of things to take care of.’

Ye Xing immediately stood and walked to the back of the room. He approached the bookshelf against the wall, slid it aside, and revealed a dark passageway.

This dark passageway, of course, led to the cave with the Teleportation Gate. Ye Xing had specifically built the Training Room in this location, against the mountainside, to make it easier to travel between the two worlds. Just yesterday, after the mansion was finally completed and the workers had left, Ye Xing had found a moment to secretly unseal the cave entrance he had blocked up a month ago.

The passageway was pitch-black. Ye Xing slid the bookshelf back into place, blocking the entrance again. He then turned on his phone’s flashlight, and a beam of light shot out from the camera, illuminating the tunnel.

The ground was covered in rubble. He walked forward twenty or thirty meters and once again found himself before the Purple Light Group.

’I’ve been gone for a while this time. I need to hurry back. I wonder how the grass carp sales are going.’ With that thought, Ye Xing walked toward the Purple Light Group, preparing to step into the Teleportation Gate.

However, just as he neared the Purple Light Group, the swirling currents of air around it suddenly surged toward him, drilling into his body through his mouth, nose, and pores.

Ye Xing froze, stunned.

’What is... Holy shit! Such dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi!’ Incredibly excited, Ye Xing quickly sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the Internal Cultivation Methods of the Innate Skill.

EXHALE—

INHALE—

He inhaled slowly and exhaled gradually. Streams of faint purple energy were drawn into his body as he breathed, taking in the pure qi and expelling the turbid. With every breath, Ye Xing could feel his body undergoing a shocking transformation.

Half a shichen later, a warm current rose from his Dantian and began to slowly circulate through the meridians of his body.

’This warm current must be True Qi!’ Ye Xing’s eyes snapped open, shining brightly. He channeled the True Qi to his right palm and suddenly struck a large rock inside the cave.

”BANG!”

With a loud bang, the rock was sent flying, smashing against the cave wall and showering the area with fragments.

’So powerful! No wonder Martial Artists are so much stronger than ordinary people!’ Ye Xing’s gaze shifted to the Purple Light Group as he murmured, ”I never would have guessed the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around this thing was so abundant. If I hadn’t started practicing my Internal Cultivation Methods, I probably would never have noticed.”

Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi exists throughout the world, sometimes abundant, sometimes scarce, sometimes dense, and sometimes thin. Ordinary people cannot perceive it. Only those who practice Internal Cultivation Methods can, through years of dedicated breathing exercises, gradually learn to sense its presence. That was why, on all his previous visits, Ye Xing had never noticed the dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in this place.

Ye Xing observed his surroundings carefully and discovered that the closer he got to the Purple Light Group, the denser the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi became.

”It was supposed to take five or six days to condense True Qi, but it only took half an hour! Haha! The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here probably far surpasses those so-called Pocket World Blessed Lands!” Ye Xing was overjoyed.

It should be known that Pocket World Blessed Lands were extremely precious cultivation grounds. Whenever a new one was discovered, it would incite countless powerful experts to fight to the death over it. Smaller Sects that couldn’t obtain a Pocket World Blessed Land would settle for the next best thing, establishing their Sects in places where the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was relatively abundant to aid their Cultivation.
