In the dilapidated house, the dim bronze oil lamp tried its best to disperse the darkness around it, but it could only illuminate a few feet of the ground.

Streams of spiritual energy that were invisible to the naked eye were attracted by the oil lamp and gathered on the head of a thin young man with thick black eyebrows who was sitting cross-legged under the light.

Xu Wen's chest heaved up and down violently. His long breathing was like a whale's swallowing and exhaling, absorbing the gathered spiritual energy into his body.

Waves of green Qi appeared and disappeared on his face, slowly gathering at the three acupoints above his head, Shenting, Shangxing, and Baihui.

The green gas gathered more and more, and the mysterious light that could be sensed but could not be seen gradually became real. It was like three green stars, getting brighter and brighter.

At the moment when it was extremely bright, a green lightning bolt suddenly shot out and pierced through the three stars at the same time.

The last three Gates were connected, and the Great Heavenly Cycle was finally formed.

The spiritual energy that had been wandering around suddenly had a destination. It swarmed into Xu Wen's body like a tired bird returning to the forest, forming a sharp contrast with his previous refusal to cooperate.

The Green Emperor Technique circulated rapidly. In just one circulation, the spiritual energy was refined and refined, turning into a warm magical power that flowed into his dantian.

As if molten iron had been poured onto rotten wood, the true qi in his dantian immediately began to burn fiercely.

However, it was not incinerated, but reborn. The raging fire removed most of the impurities, leaving only the purest inner core to enter the magic power. In an instant, the magic power increased by a lot.

With the addition of this zhenqi, he was already far superior to ordinary cultivators who had just entered the realm of qi refinement.

Time never paid off. Even if the path was different, more than ten years of hard work would not be in vain.

At the same time, an inexplicable aura suddenly surged out from Xu Wen's body. His figure seemed to have grown a lot in an instant, silently suppressing everything in the surroundings.

Sensing this aura, whether it was the mosquitoes and flies at the corner or the insects and ants underground, they all chose to lie low.

For a moment, the room became much quieter.

Of the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, mortals and martial artists could only refine essence. Only by stepping on the path of cultivation could they refine qi and spirit. It was precisely for this reason that the first realm of cultivation was called qi refinement.

After stepping into the realm of Qi Refinement, every circulation of Dharmic powers was nourishing the body and soul.

His muscles became stronger, his bones became denser, his internal organs became more active, his thoughts became clearer, and his six senses became sharper...

It might not be remarkable if they were the same, but when all of them were added together, it was a complete transformation. It was the sublimation of the essence of life, and the aura of a unique high-level life was born.

When he encountered mortals and ordinary martial artists, he did not need to fight at all. Just this aura alone could make them submit.

Xu Wen opened his eyes abruptly, unable to conceal the joy in his bright eyes.

He had cultivated the Green Emperor Technique for two years, and he had finally succeeded in refining the Qi and stepping on the path of cultivation. How could he not be excited?

He was a native of the Xuanyuan Great World, but not completely. He had inherited the spiritual light of his previous life the moment he was born and awakened his wisdom.

With the thinking, will, and rationality of his previous life, his understanding of the world was far above that of ordinary people.

This was a world where people of the same age were competing to see who could pee higher and who could pee further. He had already understood that cultivators were the true masters of this world.

While his brothers and sisters were still crying over toys and clothes, his eyes had already turned to the mountains, rivers, and stars.

The Greater World and the infinite universe were magnificent, mysterious, and endless, but he wanted to step into them and experience them one by one.

When he was eight years old, his body had just grown up. He took the initiative to practice martial arts and trained hard with the martial arts masters in his hometown.

Relying on his extraordinary wisdom and tenacity, he had achieved some success in his studies before the age of fifteen. Then, he bid farewell to his family and went out to adventure.

Two years ago, he found the remains of a cultivator under a pond and obtained the bronze oil lamp and the Green Emperor Technique.

Then, he stumbled and stumbled to Green Maple City and embarked on the road of cultivation.

Practicing martial arts was difficult, and cultivation was even more difficult. Even with the wisdom of his previous life, he still had difficulty walking and encountered danger several times.

It was only today that he finally took this most crucial step.

Just as he was thinking, a soft sound suddenly came from the side.

He turned around and saw a wisp of smoke rising from the oil lamp, and the soybean-sized lamp went out.

When he got this lamp, there was not much oil left. Even though he tried his best to save it, it was still used up after two years.

And making this kind of lamp oil was obviously not something that a small cultivator at the first qi layer could do.

Sighing in his heart, Xu Wen understood that without this oil lamp that could gather spiritual energy, his future cultivation would be even more difficult.

However, it wasn't like he didn't have other trump cards.

After holding his breath for a while, he carefully removed the red rope from his neck.

The red string was unique. It was personally woven by his mother in this life. Below it hung a black stone mirror that was about an inch in size.

One side of the stone mirror was rough and angular, while the other side was slightly smoother, barely able to reflect a human figure.

If it were anyone else, they would probably not even bother to look at the stone mirror. They would only think that it had cracked from some rock.

However, Xu Wen knew that this stone mirror was no ordinary item. It was something he brought out from his mother's womb when he was born.

Such a huge thing could not have been eaten by mistake or anything else. It could only be a heaven-blessed divine item.

It was for this reason that his biological parents in this life believed that he was not an ordinary person and never objected to his unexpected behavior.

Putting the red rope back around his neck, Xu Wen slowly rubbed the stone mirror.

Ever since he was born, especially since he started practicing martial arts and opening his acupoints, he had thought of countless methods, but he was unable to activate this stone mirror.

He wanted to try again today.

Holding the stone mirror, he channeled his magic power into it. The stone mirror that had no reaction suddenly heated up and instantly turned into a purple light that shot into his forehead and disappeared.

In the next moment, a strange soreness came from his eyes. He could not help but blink. When he opened his eyes again, everything was different.

The futon, chair, straw mat, and other objects had all become dim and blurry, like an underexposed photograph. The black iron magic sword placed at the side was still as clear as ever.

He turned around and saw a white light shoot out from the extinguished bronze oil lamp.

"This…this…"

He suddenly had a bold guess in his heart, but he did not dare to believe his own judgment.

He hurriedly took out a small gray bag and poured it out. Ten spirit stones, dozens of spirit stone slags, and some gold and silver immediately covered the ground.

Upon closer inspection, every complete spirit stone had a ray of gray light, but there was nothing on the spirit stone slags. The gold, silver, and other items were also dim and blurry like other ordinary items.

He was still afraid that it was an illusion. He flipped his palm, and streaks of magic power rushed out and gathered in his palm.

With a thought, the ball of magic power instantly ignited, turning into a bright fireball that slowly rose to the roof, illuminating the surroundings.

Although the Green Emperor Technique was a pure wood-attribute cultivation technique, wood could make fire, and it could also release some fire-attribute spells.

The bright flames made the other lights pale in comparison, but the white and gray lights were not affected at all. They were still clearly discernible.

It was as if they did not exist in the real world, but were directly reflected in the depths of Xu Wen's eyes.

You are born with a discerning eye and can distinguish the light of treasures. I shall call you the Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique!

Xu Wen couldn't help but laugh out loud as he silently named this spell in his heart. However, he quickly covered his mouth, pushed open the door, and rushed out.
