“Great technique, my self-created method of drawing talismans with intent is truly a great one! Not only has my cultivation increased slightly, but I’ve also acquired new spells, what a fortune!”

Li Ping’an had not been excited for long before he noticed that, due to the successful talisman drawing, he had already consumed two points of mana, leaving him with only the last two points before his base mana replenished.

The most urgent issue was that each use of the hand seal now required ten points of mana, meaning even if his basic mana recovered to four points, he could not use any spells anymore!

“Damn it! Isn’t this just a hollow improvement? Have I dug a pit for myself?”

Li Ping’an dared not study the Taoist classics he had moved from Silver Dragon Tower anymore, lest he develop new spells and be left with even less mana to use.

To solve the mana problem, Li Ping’an went back to square one, turning on his computer to read the “Yellow Court Classic” again, seeking the Famen of absorbing Spiritual Essence and channeling qi into the sea.

Fortunately, as his cultivation improved, his comprehension had also become much sharper than before. He actually managed to uncover some secrets about absorbing Spiritual Essence and channeling qi into the sea. However, since there was no Spiritual Essence in the real world, he could only give up in frustration.

In just one day and one night, Li Ping’an had gained a lot, which naturally filled him with joy. He felt even more confident about defeating the Six Demons of Five Fingers Peak.

The reason he worked so hard was that from the very beginning, he never thought about relying on Zixia and Night Traveler Muqiang Baoshan. The demons in the world of “Black Myth: The Fated One” were unimaginably strong, but the cultivators were far too weak…

After a hard afternoon, Li Ping’an was quite wealthy now, but he was still low-key about it, choosing not to flaunt his wealth but to go to the cafeteria with his three roommates for dinner instead.

Along the way, all the male students they met envied Li Ping’an, while all the female students wondered what charm he possessed that could make Hehuang University’s belle, Yuan Furong, so infatuated with him.

Li Ping’an had gone from being a notable clown and swindler in Jianghu to a figure who drew everyone’s attention wherever he went!

After the four had finished eating and walked a few laps around the playground, they returned to the dormitory and rested for a while. Once their bodies and spirits reached their optimal state, and the sky had just darkened, Li Ping’an crawled into bed and turned on his cellphone.

“Monkey God, activate!”

When Li Ping’an opened his eyes again, he was back inside his own house in the Five-Finger Mountain Axe Gang village in the world of “Black Myth: The Fated One.”

At that moment, the sky outside was still dark, the moonlight hazy, and the night deep and quiet, but with Divine Power: Insight into the Hidden activated, Li Ping’an could see the dense, scattered Spiritual Essence everywhere.

“It’s still early, but I must hurry to solve the issue with my Mana!”

Li Ping’an then began to recall the secrets he had discovered in the “Yellow Court Classic”:

Qi is the spirit of heaven and earth and the essence of all things. Born between heaven and earth, the spirit of heaven and earth includes the sun, stars, moon, metal, wood, water, fire, earth… Therefore, one must gather the qi of yin and yang in one body to obtain an abundance of qi. If one lets it flow at will, there will be no benefit. To practice effectively, one should seek a place with no miscellaneous sounds or colors.

This means that Spiritual Energy is indeed the essence of heaven and earth. When absorbing it, one must pay attention to the harmony of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang to achieve the highest degree of absorption. It is definitely not good to absorb indiscriminately without considering one’s own Cultivation. The environment should also be very quiet without disturbances during absorption.

When Li Ping’an first started reading the “Yellow Court Classic,” he thought it had nothing to do with Inner Core Technique. But later, he learned from the secrets that what he was practicing was indeed the Inner Core Technique.

The so-called Inner Core Technique refers to the idea of “the human body as a microcosm” and “Unity of Heaven and Man” to simultaneously cultivate life and spirit. The human body is the cauldron, cultivating “essence, qi, spirit,” etc., to form an inner core within the body, ultimately achieving the goal of becoming an Immortal.

In the “Yellow Court Classic”: Nine Qi Illuminates the Sky, the Divine Child’s Spiritual Energy gives birth to Purple Smoke. Chant it ten thousand times and ascend to the third heaven. The meaning of this sentence is that within the three fields exist nine kinds of qi, shining and not leaving any place unlit, filled with energy, complete Spiritual Essence, which can result in boundless Mana.

In other words, the Qi Gathering Realm is actually a preparation process. By absorbing Spiritual Energy into the body and merging it with Essence Qi and Spirit to form one thing called Spiritual Essence, the substance produced by using the body as a furnace to burn Spiritual Essence is Mana!

Therefore, to channel qi into the sea, absorb Spiritual Essence, and increase maximum Mana, Li Ping’an must absorb the Spiritual Essence that exists everywhere in this world.

However, it is strange that since the process that produces Spiritual Essence requires someone to absorb Spiritual Energy into the body and mix it with Essence Qi and Spirit, such a thing can be called Spiritual Essence; otherwise, it would only be called Spiritual Energy.

But the Spiritual Energy of this world had already mixed with the Essence Qi and Spirit, prematurely becoming Spiritual Essence. It showed someone had purposefully made it so or perhaps some Ancestor of Taoism had spread his teachings, or some Buddha had disseminated his virtues.

But to be able to absorb and transform all the Spiritual Energy of this world, the only ones Li Ping’an could think of were the deities and Buddhas above.

However, this was good for Li Ping’an. Absorbing Spiritual Essence was like directly picking ripe peaches, and by absorbing the pre-existing Spiritual Essence into his body and infusing it with his Essence Qi and Spirit, the resulting Mana would surely be even purer!

Having understood how Spiritual Essence is produced and how to absorb it, Li Ping’an suddenly had an epiphany, as if he had pushed aside the clouds to see the clear skies.

He began to absorb the surrounding Spiritual Essence!

Before absorbing Spiritual Essence, one must Open the Heavenly Gate, that is, starting from the third eye to the forehead, count to twenty-four, this is called opening Heaven’s Gate.

After opening Heaven’s Gate, Li Ping’an, under the clear sky, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his mouth open, completely fused himself with heaven and earth, combining the harvested Spiritual Essence with Essence Qi and Spirit gathered in the Dantian Qi Sea.

Then, guiding the qi with intention, combining intention and qi, he opened up the flow of Essence Qi and Spirit in his body and the Spiritual Essence, merging the two.
