I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm-Chapter 83: Effects of the Taiyi Atlas

After a flash of a thousand thunders, Zhou Changwang irrigated again with the Spirit Rain Skill.

After confirming that all the Thunder Spirit Rice Trees were growing normally, he slowly walked away.

Of course, he did not leave the backyard but sat in the pavilion, took out a Jade Scroll from the Storage Bag, and began to slowly read it.

He planned to spend some time understanding the Array Path.

"The Array Path can be adapted to local conditions.

The wind and rain of heaven and earth, the vast mountains and rivers, the veins of the earth, the yin and yang, the five elements, everything in the world... can all form arrays."

Zhou Changwang glanced at the preface, and his heart spirit was quickly immersed in it.

One incense stick, two incense sticks, three incense sticks...

Numerous complex pieces of knowledge about the Array Path flowed in his mind, some things he couldn’t understand at all, so he could only record them quickly, like swallowing dates whole.

As for understanding? That was for later.

An hour later, Zhou Changwang pulled his mind away from the Jade Scroll, feeling dizzy.

Although he hadn’t gained much, he had a certain understanding of arrays.

Following the diagram, he could barely distinguish the four directions and the terrain.

For example, in this backyard, the Spirit Vein is in the east, the southwest is the tail end of the Spirit Vein’s branch, but in the north, there is a Spirit Vein node, which makes the terrain in that direction relatively higher.

After secretly comparing, Zhou Changwang indeed discovered that the location in the front yard, especially the position of the Cultivation Secret Room, just happened to be at the Spirit Vein node.

And the richness of the Spiritual Qi there was indeed the highest in his yard.

Furthermore, according to the information on Array Path, he vaguely perceived that the small pond in his backyard, with Spirit Fields on each side and the pond in the middle, had a formation of four spirits overlooking, elevating water to raise spiritual power.

No guidance was needed; this terrain had itself formed into an array.

Spiritual power rose from the water, fell back from the sky, and nourished the surrounding Spirit Fields, forming a complementary cycle.

"No wonder the quality of the Spirit Field here can reach Tier One Upper Grade, and no wonder Steward Bai said there was an array in the Spirit Field, though I couldn’t find any traces of an array.

It turned out to be an array specifically using the terrain, using the force of the terrain to guide Spiritual Qi to irrigate the Spirit Field, increasing its grade..."

Zhou Changwang only felt an inexplicable awe.

Apparently, the one who set up these houses and guided the excavation of the Spirit Fields was a master of the Array Path.

He also grew more interested in the Array Path.

However, the only thing that left him somewhat helpless was.

It consumed too much of his heart spirit.

After an hour, his spirit was already very fatigued, unable to absorb another bit.

He could only rest well and practice some simple spells that didn’t consume much mental power.

Such as the Fertilization Technique, Protective Body Technique, Light Body Skill, Calming Technique, Concealing Breath Technique... and so on.

"Should I try the Taiyi Atlas?"

Suddenly, Zhou Changwang seemed to have remembered something, and pondered slightly.

Without hesitation, with a slight mental movement, he flipped his hand, and a somewhat heavy, very ancient Jade Scroll appeared in his hand.

It was the Jade Scroll that recorded the Taiyi Atlas.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Changwang immersed his heart spirit into it.

Immediately, he felt an incredibly complex atlas emerge in his mind.

The atlas was complex, three-dimensional, and ever-changing...like it encompassed everything yet seemed very simple, clearly elucidating the principles of heaven and earth...

In just a moment, Zhou Changwang felt his heart spirit being pulled into the atlas as his Spiritual Power involuntarily extended along with it.

It felt like only a moment had passed.

Yet, it also felt like a long time had passed.

Zhou Changwang only felt his vision go black, and he immediately fell into a deep sleep.

For a long while.

Zhou Changwang slowly opened his eyes.

He saw the sky, the bright moonlight, and sparkling stars shining in the void, illuminating the entire world, giving it a feeling akin to daylight.

"Is it a full moon today?"

This thought flashed through his mind instinctively, and then he suddenly got up.

Looking around, he saw the Jade Scroll resting on his chest, remembering that he had fallen into a sleep because his heart spirit had been immersed in the Jade Scroll...

And seeing the high hanging moon, it was clear that much time had passed.

So he’d been lying here for several hours?

Zhou Changwang was stunned.

At this moment, the Little Spirit Dog that had been guarding nearby quickly approached, whimpered, and wagged its tail excitedly.

Zhou Changwang patted its head, feeling very comforted in his heart.

It’s been a few months since he bought it; the tiny little thing has grown quite a bit. But what hasn’t changed is that it still guards him while he cultivates or sleeps, wary of potential dangers around.

He quickly used the Calming Technique to show affection.

"Wait a minute?"

Zhou Changwang was about to get up when he suddenly paused slightly.

He felt that his Spiritual Power seemed to have increased a bit.

Although the magnitude was not large, cultivators are aware of the slightest changes in their bodies, noticing every detail.

Zhou Changwang noticed this when he was casting Magic and using his Heart Spirit.

"Could it be that the Taiyi Atlas has the effect of enhancing Spiritual Power?"

With doubt and wonder in his heart, Zhou Changwang wanted to immerse his Heart Spirit again and test it out. However, considering the hours of sleep involved, he decided against it.

If he fell asleep again, it would be dawn.

He quickly got up, returned to the front yard, cooked Spirit Rice, and delivered a small bowl to the Little Spirit Dog before devouring it himself.

A little less than half an hour later, he appeared in the Talisman Room.

He had already reserved his cultivation time.

The daytime was dedicated to the Spirit Field, and he cultivated Magic while tending to the Spirit Field.

At night, he took out at least one to two hours for Talisman Making.

Although the full moon was already high in the sky, he was very energetic and did not abandon this routine habit.

After an hour, Zhou Changwang collected the finished Spirit Talismans into his Storage Bag, then headed to another area—the Cultivation Secret Room.

In the Cultivation Secret Room, there was a bamboo bathing tub.

Earlier, he had obtained the Golden Soup Locking Spirit Formula from Wei Yong’s Storage Bag, and the formula claimed that it could lock Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the body, thereby increasing the cultivator’s practice effectiveness to a certain extent.

For this reason, he specifically cut some Spiritual Bamboo from the backyard and personally crafted this bathing tub.

Although it was somewhat crude, as long as it didn’t leak water, it was fine.

Then, he used the Water Spirit Skill he had just reached Entry Level a few days ago, a slight guide led to the gathering of a water current, which he then guided into the bathing tub.

It’s worth mentioning that the Water Spirit Skill is actually a Water Control and Water Manipulation Technique. Although it doesn’t have much power, it can gather spirit and transform water, extracting clean water sources, making it one of the indispensable techniques for cultivators traveling.

After all, not every outdoor water source is drinkable.

Feeling that it might be slightly slow, Zhou Changwang quickly took out several Water Spirit Talismans, activating them successively, guiding a stream of water to fill the tub.

Then, he used the Fireball Technique to heat it.

Zhou Changwang’s Fireball Technique had long reached the Great Success Stage. Just controlling the fireball to slightly approach the water surface, the terrifying high temperature was released.

Within a few breaths, steaming heat surged out.

Zhou Changwang seized the opportunity, and continuously withdrew medicinal materials from his Storage Bag, first Sweet Ling Grass, then Curved Leaf Root... one Spirit Grass after another was soaked in the hot water, immediately releasing juices, which mixed to form a golden foil color.

"Is this the Golden Soup?"

Zhou Changwang sighed, pondered for a moment, then removed his clothes and stepped into the bath tub. The scorching Golden Soup medicine water was nothing to him, whose body had already reached the First Layer Body Refining similar to cultivators practicing the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques.

Then, he retrieved the Primordial Qi Pill bottle, which he had prepared earlier, poured out one pill, and swallowed it.

The Spirit Pill melted as soon as it entered, followed by a surge of strong and intense Spiritual Qi erupting within him, instantly pouring into the limbs and organs, filling each Dantian.

At the same time, a lot of Spiritual Qi also exited his body, about to dissipate into the heavens and earth.

However, the originally chaotic Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, about to escape from his body, seemed to face some obstruction, slightly stagnating.

Though Spiritual Qi still occasionally dispersed, it was several times slower than before.

"Is the ’Golden Soup’ in the bathing tub the one causing it?"

Zhou Changwang’s eyes lit up, hurriedly controlling his Heart Spirit, fully operating the Five Elements Technique, continuously refining the Spiritual Qi within.

After a stick of incense, the first circulation was completed.

Zhou Changwang didn’t pause, continuing his cultivation.

Second circulation, third circulation...

After a full seven circulations, he finally stopped.

At this point, the Primordial Qi Pill’s Spiritual Qi in his body had been completely refined, transformed into his own Spiritual Power.

Cultivation +3

Zhou Changwang glanced at his Attribute Panel, compared it with before, and couldn’t help but smile.

Usually, based on his previous experience, a Primordial Qi Pill could increase his cultivation by at most two points.

Now, it was three points.

Clearly, this is undeniably the effect of the Golden Soup Locking Spirit Formula.

Although this does not mean that the Golden Soup Locking Spirit Formula can improve his Spirit Pill absorption efficiency by fifty percent...based on a slight feeling afterward, the effect should be around twenty to thirty percent.

But it was enough to prove the effect of this spiritual formula.

"With this, using Spirit Pills for cultivation periodically, my cultivation speed will surely increase significantly. Perhaps within three months, I could elevate to the Peak of Third Level of Qi Cultivation."

Zhou Changwang was delighted, noticing that the golden foil color of the medicinal water in the bath tub had turned clear, but he didn’t care.

The ’Golden Soup’ in the Golden Soup Locking Spirit Formula was originally meant to temporarily obstruct the dispersal of Spiritual Qi from his body, but after two hours, the Spiritual Qi ’neutralized’ with the Golden Soup medicine water, thus losing its original effect.

Exiting the bath tub, Zhou Changwang first used the Water Spirit Skill to guide the soup water out, then cleaned thoroughly with the Cleaning Technique before relaxing.

Then, he sat cross-legged in the Cultivation Secret Room, pondered for a moment, and took out the Ancient Jade Scroll, sending his Heart Spirit into it.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Zhou Changwang instantly fell asleep.
