Shaman’s Awakening Chapter 5

Chapter 5     Qi Absorption

As the both of them chatted, Jiang Han spoke about his own experience, including his residency and subsequent dismissal. Su Yuxin quietly listened without revealing any reaction to his story. After the meal, they both left the restaurant.

It was rather late now, and Su Yuxin had a curfew. As they bid each other goodbye, Su Yuxin took out a bank card from her purse and handed it to Jiang Han, “I’ll pa.s.s you the pin number later, do not misunderstand, it’s a loan, you’ll need to return it.”

“This won’t do, I can’t possibly take this.” Jiang Han firmly refuse, a gentlemen does not eat out of sympathy, he would rather starve to death then take this money. But perhaps he did not notice, didn’t he already just ate… …

“Don’t worry, just take it. I’ve got to go, bye.” Su Yuxin shoved the bank card onto Jiang Han then turned around and quickly left the place.

With the bank card nervously clutch between his hands, “I will definitely not use one bit of this money.” Jiang Han wanted to shout his resolution out loud but in the end opt to discreetly do this in his heart instead. Why was living, plague with so much difficulty.

Returning to his small rented house, Jiang Han’s felt like he had matured quite a bit from his experience today. As it stands, he wasn’t without any opportunity, quite the opposite in fact, he had now received the shaman’s legacy. He had a huge advantage compared to most people, and if utilise properly, what couldn’t he possibly achievement?

He calmed himself down, searched through his mind for the information and gradually immerse himself with it.

Heavenly Mystic Abyss Sutra’s first chapter was Qi absorption. Legendary transformation into Pangu, Heaven breaking and Earth shattering, combine two energy to ascend, a.s.similate Heaven and Earth, between Heaven and Earth, there exist an energy, it’s called Spiritual Energy.

Spiritual energy isn’t an imaginary existence, there are times an ordinary person would be able to feel it this energy, it’s just that they do not fully understand what this energy was. Spiritual energy is thicker and more abundant in areas where mountain spirits congregate. Occasionally, a person would feel energize and their spirits lifted while breathing in fresh air out in nature, and this was possible because there was an abundant of spiritual energy in the area.

Qi cultivation was conceptually quite simple, it’s simply the absorption of spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth into the body using special techniques, thus channelling the energy for one’s own purpose, but there is a requirement.

In order to absorb Qi, one must first be able to sense the presence of spiritual energy, only those with spiritual roots are actually able to clearly sense the presence of this energy. This is why only those with innate spiritual roots are able to use spiritual energy for cultivation.

Only by absorbing Qi into the body can one truly be called a Cultivator.

Jiang Han only found out today that he inherently was able to meet this requirement, moreover he had the uniquely rare Wu Spiritual Root. Those with Wu Spiritual Root are not only able to absorb spiritual energy to cultivate, they are also eligible to receive the Shaman’s legacy.

The technique to sense spiritual energy emerge in Jiang Han’s mind. The process was not considered to be difficult, he only needed to patiently practice the technique inscribe within the Heavenly Mystic Abyss Sutra. It was like adjusting the radio frequency on a FM radio, once radio is tuned to the proper frequency then you would have succeeded, and similarly you would be able to sense the spiritual energy.

The following step was significantly more difficult, and that was to absorb spiritual energy into the body and to acc.u.mulate it within the dantian. When a person initially begins to formally cultivate, they would first need to unlock the dantian’s position within his Spiritual Sea so that they would be able to store and acc.u.mulate spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy that is absorbed would need to be condensed before finally storing it within the dantian. This stored energy is referred to as spiritual power and is use to operate spells, magic items and is the basis of other arts and techniques. It is of the utmost importance to a cultivator.

In accordance with the recorded method, Jiang Han began his training to sense the boundless Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. He had only just began and couldn’t feel anything out-of-place, gradually sweat beads began to form on Jiang Han’s forehead.

According to the technique, the first step should be quite simple, how was it possible that he wasn’t able to sense any spiritual energy at all, there must be a reason for this.

Jiang Han opened his eyes, and he felt a little dizzy. The process of sensing spiritual energy for an ordinary person wasn’t a walk in the park. The consumption of mental energy was substantial, and this was the reason why Jiang Han felt dizzy.

After resting for a short while, Jiang Han tried the technique again to sense spiritual energy. This time, in accordance with the recorded technique, he was extra focus and careful. After a long period of time, Jiang Han’s turbid body was drenched in sweat. He was mentally strained and found that he was starting to lose focus, it was then that he finally felt a trace of some strange and unusual feeling around him.

Jiang Han was elated when he discover that he finally was able to sense spiritual energy. He couldn’t contain his excitement, the significance of the ability to sense spiritual energy was huge. It signified that all the shaman’s legacy in his head wasn’t just a figment of his imagination, and that, he actually and possibly become an immortal.

The moment Jiang Han got excited, his frame of mind was no longer calm, and therefore that previous unusual feeling disappeared. Alarmed, he opened his eyes, and at this point in time it was impossible for Jiang Han to calm down. No normal person would be able to stay calm and not be excited when stuff of legends actually happened to themselves in real life.

It wasn’t until quite a bit of time had pa.s.s that Jiang Han finally was able to calm down. It would seem that all of these was possibly real. All of the diseases that modern medicine could not cure together with a beautiful and comfortable future for himself, all of these will no longer be unattainable anymore.

He could see the bank card and his phone on the table nearby. His phone was lit up indicating that he had received a message. He was certainly that it was from Su Yuxin, who was messaging him the bank card’s pin number.

No matter what, everything depended on being able to successfully absorb Qi into the body. Jiang Han thought about it rationally and was very clear on this point. He then proceed to enter into the right frame of mind, with his previous experience as reference, his attempt this time was a lot smoother. He was soon able to sense the presence of spiritual energy with ease and without much effort.

As he continued to sense the spiritual energy, he began to feel a little unsettled. According to the Heavenly Mystic Abyss Sutra, with the concentration of spiritual energy at this level, this location can only be considered the lowest level. Would the concentration of spiritual energy in a poor man’s house consequently also be thin and lacking?

Nevertheless, Jiang Han tried to guide the spiritual energy that he could sense into his body. The process was comparably more difficult but was essential if he wanted to become a cultivator. This ordeal was unavoidable.

He spent the whole night training, before he finally succeed and when he did, it was a wonderful feeling. He not only succeeded in unlocking his dantian in his spiritual sea, he also managed to absorb and condense the spiritual energy into spiritual power. From this day onward, Jiang Han can finally be considered a cultivator.

Jiang Han was finally able to take his first step into this extraordinary new world, he was incredibly ecstatic. By successfully absorbing Qi into his body, his mental spirit was restored, and even though he hadn’t slept the whole night, he wasn’t tired.

Other than the fact that he felt a little different at the spot where his dantian was located, he essentially did not feel any noticeable difference from before. This was to be expected, as this was only the initial stage of cultivation, the technique clearly stated that, the next step after Qi absorption was Qi refining. Only cultivators at Qi Refining stage are able to transform their body, and obtain Divine Spiritual Essence.

Cultivation placed importance in taking one step at a time, one cannot be reckless or careless, and every step requires a solid foundation to avoid the danger of Qi deviation. Reckless advancement will only bring about countless future problems. Jiang Han made sure to engrave all these experience of his predecessors in his heart.

As he was about to continue with his cultivation, his phone on the table suddenly rang.
