Chapter 25: The Five Qi Return to the Origin

  "It's no good, let's just buy another house!" Zhang Yu said: "This old city area, now many houses are empty."

  Wen Fei gritted his teeth: "I've set my sights on this one!" He hadn't considered any others, nor was he interested in the historical antiques Zhang Yu had mentioned. What he really wanted was this several-acre plot of land. As a Chinese person, he had an innate desire for land that came from deep within his heart.

  "This year, land prices are rising everywhere. This family is probably still thinking that when the old city is renovated, they can sell their land for a higher price! Anyway, they're living a good life now and can get by. Zhang Yu said, feeling a headache: "I've sold my antique shop, I reckon I can get tens of millions out of it, but it's not enough to make any money. But it's still not enough!"

  Wen Fei said, "I'll think of a way to get the rest of the money. When the time comes, we'll sort out the property rights for this house!" He had already thought it through - if he wanted to get his hands on such a large sum of money, he would have to go to Bei Song to make arrangements.

  "Where did you get so much money?" Zhang Yu looked surprised and uncertain, he knew Wen Fei very well, but didn't think that this guy could get so much money: "We can't do illegal things!"

  Wen Fei fiercely stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs down to the fatty: "Go die!"

  The night sky of the Northern Song Dynasty was exceptionally brilliant, and the twinkling of the stars in the sky was a splendor that Wen Fei had never seen before.

  This time Wen Fei came again in the middle of the night, after all, if someone suddenly appeared during the day, it would feel too abrupt, especially since Wen Fei was now pushing a cart.

  This time, Wen Fei brought a lot of things, including plastic basins and even several pieces of cloth. The weight was at least several hundred pounds, which he couldn't carry by himself. But what transportation tool to use to travel through the Northern Song Dynasty, this really made Wen Fei rack his brains.

  Mechanics are not to be mentioned, the three-wheeled vehicles placed in ancient times were also strange and peculiar things, and this kind of flatbed cart is about the same. Now it's rarely seen in cities, Wen Fei even specially ran to the countryside to buy one. Nowadays, people in rural areas have started to make money, and few people use this kind of flatbed cart anymore, buying more agricultural machinery. Wen Fei also spent a lot of effort to bring it back, as for the price, it's not expensive.

  Although the night was deep, Wen Fei estimated that the time would not exceed ten o'clock. He was particularly good at keeping track of time. This whole night's time was not spent in vain here, but to cultivate the Thunderbolt Technique.

  This thing is difficult to practice in cities with cement floors everywhere. The Taoist method naturally requires contact with nature, but it's hard to do so when surrounded by concrete and steel. For example, the Earth Thunder Method requires contact with the earth's energy, but the concrete and asphalt get in the way. And those parks with dirt paths are too noisy, plus many of them have soil that was brought in from elsewhere and just laid down - you can imagine how effective the earth energy is there...

  Wen Fei had not been practicing the Earthly Thunder Manual directly for these days, apart from feeling down, there was also this reason. Moreover, Wen Fei began to coordinate with Chen Niwan's Five Qi Returning to Yuan Method and taking medicinal pills, slowly nourishing his body, after all, he still had a virtual illness label on him, others would think that he was suffering from excessive female charm.

  Moreover, with Qi and blood deficiency, the resistance to spiritual entities is much weaker. Wen Fei won't forget the lesson from last time. Even if he sinks his Qi into his Dantian and desperately drums up his blood and Qi to flow downward, he still can't withstand that old fox's charge. And cultivating the Earthly Thunder Method is precisely what most easily provokes spiritual entities. Wen Fei definitely doesn't want to be practicing halfway when suddenly some unclean thing charges onto him. These matters were repeatedly warned about by Chen Niwan.

  In the Northern Song Dynasty, a place like this would be an ideal place for cultivation. The village of Mǎjiācūn was originally desolate and had no market days, so it was rare to see people. In ancient times, people went to bed early at 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening and did their own things on the bed. As the saying goes, "get up with the sun and rest with the sunset". In this quiet and peaceful wilderness, there is nothing but the shadow of ghosts!

  When it comes to ghostly shadows, Wen Fei shivered with a chill. Not daring to delay, he began to set up a simple small altar. Speaking of the altar, it was just placing the thunder seal refined by Ge Er Lang on it, and then lighting several incense sticks. If there were any wandering ghosts or spirits, they would naturally be attracted by the incense smoke and wouldn't run to Wen Fei's front to cause trouble.

  Wen Fei's preparation was thorough, even the incense he prepared was that thick and long, enough to burn for two hours. Just in case something happened halfway through his cultivation. Like those "good brothers" who were enjoying the incense, only to suddenly find it had gone out. And then they would discover Wen Fei not far away... That would be a real tragedy!

  Then he scattered some realgar and slaked lime around, all of which were used to drive away snakes and insects. In case while practicing, the "good brothers" didn't provoke, but a poisonous snake crawled over, that would be even more tragic.

  These are the experiences that have been passed down for thousands of years, even if Chen Niwan didn't specifically mention them. However, as a senior Taoist enthusiast, Wen Fei is still quite familiar with these things.

  Fortunately, it has slowly entered summer, otherwise the cold wind and dew at night would be quite unbearable. This place is a small forest not far from Luoma Street, which is a sheltered spot.

  Wen Fei began to cultivate, sitting on a meditation cushion with a calm and peaceful heart. These were all regular exercises, and it didn't take long for his heart to become calm and peaceful. Wen Fei did not start cultivating the Thunderbolt Method right away, but instead first cultivated the Five Qi Returning to Yuan Exercise, and then swallowed an elixir called "Receiving Life Pellet". This was a medicinal formula given by Chen Ni, the name of the elixir that had been refined from the medicine.

  The foundation of Di Xie Lei Fa is to collect the earth's energy, store it within the body, and then release it outwardly to harm or kill spiritual entities. Even if cultivated to a deeper level, it can also harm people. It's truly not safe at all.

  The foundation for absorbing Qi is internal Qi and external emission. At the very least, you must open up the Laogong point on your palm, so that you can exchange Qi with the outside world and absorb it.

  Wen Fei used to practice some air-gathering techniques, mainly collecting the spiritual energy of the sun, moon, trees and wood. He thought about practicing in a city, but it's easy to imagine how effective that would be. The whole sky is often hazy, and you can see the moon for only a few days a month. So he gradually gave up on it.

  Collecting these earth qi is more harmful to the body. After all, the earth qi is yin and cold, and there are too many impurities, taking too much can easily harm the body. Generally, the cultivation methods take the sun and moon's light, or the gas of plants, which are relatively light and clear gases.
