Chapter 939: Chapter 942: The World Is Mysterious

”What you said makes a lot of sense, but Murong, you should reconsider. We can explore other industries.”

Qin Tian still voiced his thoughts.

But Murong Fei seemed to have thought it through: ”There’s no need to reconsider. I’m already here in Beijing. I will proceed according to my original plan.”

”In the next few days, I will carefully evaluate whether it’s suitable to open an entertainment venue. Unless it’s indeed unsuitable, I will definitely give it a try.”

Although Murong Fei’s personality has changed a lot over the past few months, it’s obvious that her inherent stubbornness and determination remain unchanged.

At this moment, Murong Fei exhibited the decisive and domineering attitude she had in her company; Qin Tian knew that no matter how he persuaded, it would be to no avail and could only let her do her assessment.

Early the next morning, Murong Fei went out.

Qin Tian originally planned to accompany her for the assessments but was ruthlessly rejected by Murong Fei—she had already arranged to go with her two university classmates from Beijing.

Left with no choice, Qin Tian couldn’t be the Flower Protector. Of course, he confirmed that Murong Fei’s university classmates were both female.

Alone in the room, Qin Tian continued his cultivation.

The Spirit Recognition Skill isn’t as difficult to practice as imagined.

It’s a skill that combines Sensing Power and eyesight; of course, the most crucial aspect is spiritual power.

By focusing on noticing objects with Spiritual Energy and those without, when briefly reaching the spiritual realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, one can see wisps like white smoke but with faint green and yellow halos around objects with Spiritual Energy.

That is Spiritual Energy, which can be absorbed for cultivation and transformed into Inner Strength.

On the fourth day, Qin Tian finally saw Spiritual Energy dispersed around the ancient jade he used for testing!

”So, there really is such a mystical thing between heaven and earth!”

Qin Tian exclaimed in excitement, shaking his head as he sighed, ”Wow, this world is really wondrous, so many hidden secrets; how much more mysteries are there that I don’t know?”

Indeed, as Qin Tian grew stronger, he increasingly felt that the world is not as simple as imagined; many things are entirely inexplicable.

Like this Spiritual Energy, like the bizarre deeds his master Cao Taiji once did, like Liu Fei’er’s lineage issue, like the mysterious Du Qiuniang...

We all live in the same world, but this same world holds many things you cannot even access or understand.

Even, how big is this world? Is there really only one world? Only one Earth suitable for human habitation?

These questions don’t actually have absolute answers.

At this time, Qin Tian felt he was already nearing some mysterious edge.

He could now simply discern whether a place or an object has Spiritual Energy.

Like the villa he lived in, it had almost no Spiritual Energy.

His ancient jade, in fact, only had a little Spiritual Energy; it didn’t even meet the standard he could absorb.

Fortunately, Qin Tian’s initial certainty that this ancient jade had Spiritual Energy turned out to be correct.

”I’ll first check out which areas are abundant in Spiritual Energy around.”

After learning the Spirit Recognition Skill, Qin Tian immediately decided to apply it.

He drove around the vicinity of Beijing.

From the urban area to the suburbs, then followed the Beijing Fifth Ring Road slowly driving along.

What Qin Tian saw actually matched the situations described in the books.

In places with dense populations in Beijing, there’s basically no Spiritual Energy.

Even if some old trees in small alleys released some Spiritual Energy every day, once released, it was instantly absorbed by the breaths of surrounding people.

Anyone could absorb Spiritual Energy.

However, after absorption by ordinary people, it merely provides some strengthening benefits to the body, which are negligible unless accrued over many years.

So, ordinary people occasionally absorbing a bit of Spiritual Energy is a complete waste.

Only those who live long-term in areas abundant in Spiritual Energy, continuously nourished by it, can be healthier and have life-extending benefits.

However, this is just the most basic use of Spiritual Energy.

Truly absorbing into the body and transforming into Inner Strength accumulated in one’s Dan Tian Qi Sea; that is the most effective use of Spiritual Energy.

Qin Tian almost didn’t see any places abundant in Spiritual Energy in the main urban area.

The crowd was too dense; even if there was Spiritual Energy, once everyone inhaled a bit, what’s left?

As he gradually moved from the urban to the suburban areas, Qin Tian slowly started to find places entwined with Spiritual Energy.

But they were still just scattered Spiritual Energy, which Qin Tian couldn’t yet utilize with his current ability.

Even if absorbed into the body, it would be as it is for ordinary people, absorbed and depleted, entirely unusable.

According to Qin Tian’s current self-assessment, he could absorb Spiritual Energy from places with large masses of it; his utilization rate of Spiritual Energy is estimated to be less than one-thousandth.

This means, even if all the Spiritual Energy were absorbed by Qin Tian into his body, the most he could convert into Inner Strength is less than one-thousandth.

Of course, as stated in the Gathering Spirit Technique, accompanying one’s practice proficiency and level advancement, the utilization rate of Spiritual Energy could gradually increase.

”Wow, those big trees over there look like they’re hundreds of years old! There’s quite a lot of Spiritual Energy around!”

When Qin Tian drove beyond the Fifth Ring to the mountainous suburban area, he finally found a place loaded with Spiritual Energy at the foot of a small hill.

Between three large trees, wisps of glowing Spiritual Energy spiraled upwards, resembling a fairyland.

Qin Tian stopped the car in excitement, then rushed into the space between the three trees, deeply inhaling to feel the peculiarity of Spiritual Energy entering the body.

Yet with his current capability, he couldn’t sense anything special.

He simply sat directly on the grass between the three trees, cross-legged, and began concentrating. Muttering the Gathering Spirit Technique’s cultivation mnemonic.

The so-called Gathering Spirit Technique, as the name implies, aims to gather Spiritual Energy through cultivation.

Gathering Spiritual Energy to the Dan Tian Qi Sea, then converting it.

”Damn, such abundant Spiritual Energy. Why am I unable to convert any into Inner Strength after absorbing it into my body?”

Half an hour later, Qin Tian felt his current Spiritual Energy absorption capacity and nearly burst into tears.

Damn it, unable to absorb so much Spiritual Energy, how much Spiritual Energy do I need to gather to the Dan Tian Qi Sea?

Qin Tian was bewildered.
