The Spirit Qi in the Ring-Tu space was so rich that it even formed a mist of Spirit Qi above the space. Therefore, Xia Ruofei started to absorb it at full speed, and the efficiency was also very high.
The moment Xia Ruofei ran the second level of the "Great Way Technique" with all his strength, a Spirit Qi hole seemed to suddenly appear in the small square where he was meditating. A large amount of Spirit Qi mist, which was close to liquefaction, rolled towards Xia Ruofei, who was sitting upright.
After Xia Ruofei broke through to the early stage of the Gold Core realm, the meridians in his body had also been greatly strengthened. Therefore, although the amount of Spirit Qi was very large, he could still barely bear it. He just felt that the meridians in his body were full of a sense of fullness.
The Spirit Qi in the meridians quickly ran along the route of the second level of the "Great Way Technique". After a cycle, it entered the dantian, and a wisp of pure Primordial Qi was naturally produced in the dantian.
Every time the Primordial Qi was produced, the rapidly rotating vortex in the dantian would automatically produce a huge suction force, sucking the Primordial Qi into the vortex.
The Primordial Qi vortex grew bigger little by little. Basically, no matter how much Primordial Qi was produced, this vortex could absorb it all. Therefore, even though Xia Ruofei was absorbing the Spirit Qi with all his strength, he still felt a burst of emptiness in his dantian, as if he had been hungry for several days and was extremely thirsty for Primordial Qi.
Countless Spirit Qi poured in from the outside and surged in Xia Ruofei's meridians. He could feel that the Primordial Qi vortex in his dantian was growing little by little. At the same time, he also felt that his strength was rising steadily.
For the first time, Xia Ruofei directly recognized the strength of an expert at the early stage of the Jindan stage. He felt that he was able to defeat Luo Qingfeng with the help of the formation, more or less because of luck. Even though he had broken through the bottleneck of the Qi Refining stage, before the formation of the Primordial Qi vortex, his strength was obviously much weaker than it was now.
However, Xia Ruofei also faintly felt that Luo Qingfeng's strength seemed to be weaker than what he had imagined. He had not yet completely stabilized his Primordial Qi vortex, so it could be said that he had not completely entered the Early-stage of Jindan, but according to his judgment, his strength at this time was already stronger than what Luo Qingfeng had shown that day.
It should be noted that Luo Qingfeng was not only a genuine Early-stage Gold Core expert, but he had also broken through many years ago. Xia Ruofei, on the other hand, had not even completed his breakthrough yet.
The only explanation was that the quality of the Primordial Qi vortex formed by Luo Qingfeng was much worse than the Primordial Qi vortex that Xia Ruofei was trying to stabilize.
Of course, such a thought flashed through Xia Ruofei's mind, and he quickly concentrated on his cultivation.
Xia Ruofei let go of all his scruples and absorbed the Spiritual Qi with all his strength, which caused a temporary hole in the Spiritual Qi around his body. Of course, the Spiritual Qi in other places in the space was quickly replenished, and the current concentration of Spiritual Qi was enough to support his cultivation.
However, the speed at which Xia Ruofei absorbed the Spiritual Qi during his cultivation this time was too fast. The consumption of the Spiritual Qi in the Ring-Tu space was very fast, and it naturally triggered the formation at the bottom, so the space began to absorb energy from the chaotic space outside the membrane wall, and quickly transformed it into Spiritual Qi.
The speed at which the energy was absorbed from the chaotic space could not keep up with the speed at which Xia Ruofei cultivated. After all, the energy absorbed from the chaotic space needed to be transformed by the formation at the bottom of the space, which took time.
In this way, the total amount of Spiritual Qi in the space was always in the process of slowly decreasing.
It was like a classic math problem. If there was a pool, open the faucet to add water, and at the same time open the drain valve to release water. If the speed of adding water was slower than the speed of releasing water, then the water level of the pool would naturally decrease slowly.
If the speed of the decrease was fast enough, and the time was long enough, then the water in the pool would definitely be drained.
Fortunately, the Ring-Tu space's "pool", in addition to absorbing energy from the chaotic space, also had another faucet, which was the Peach Blossom Island outside.
Therefore, when the total amount of Spiritual Qi in the space continued to decrease, the formation at the bottom of the Ring-Tu space also triggered a protective mechanism and began to absorb Spiritual Qi from the outside.
What the Spirit Map space absorbed from the Peach Blossom Island was rich in spirit energy. It skipped the conversion process, so it was naturally much faster than absorbing energy from the chaos space.
Soon, with the continuous supply of water from the two "faucets", the Spiritual Qi in the Ring-Tu space stopped decreasing and began to slowly increase again.
Xia Ruofei was immersed in his cultivation, so naturally, he was completely unaware of all this. He was still operating the second layer of the "Dao Formula" with all his strength. The Spiritual Qi in the space was constantly flowing into his body, and it was constantly producing pure Spiritual Qi in his Dantian.
At this time, on the Peach Blossom Island, it was already late at night.
However, except for the crew led by Liu An, who had already washed up and gone to bed early, the others were not sleepy at all.
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue stayed in different rooms tonight — this was basically a kind of tacit understanding. After all, on the Peach Blossom Island, they needed to practice the "Questioning Heart Sutra" with Xia Ruofei. If they stayed together, it would naturally be inconvenient.
As for what would happen after the other party and Xia Ruofei practiced together, the two of them were actually well aware of it. From their point of view, everyone was an adult. Not only men, but women also had needs in this regard. During the time in Spain, because they were shy, the two of them simply stayed together. After returning to the Peach Blossom Island, they had at least a convincing reason. Naturally, the two of them tacitly chose to stay in their own rooms.
Anyway, the reception rooms in this building on the island were basically empty. Not to mention one room per person, even if one person stayed in ten rooms, it would not be a problem for them to change rooms every hour.
At this time, Song Wei and Ling Qingxue were both standing on the balcony of their rooms, looking towards the west side of the island, their faces full of concern.
Li Yifu and Zheng Yongshou had also been looking in the direction of Xia Ruofei's cultivation area. They were both waiting in their rooms uneasily.
After a while, Song Wei, Ling Qingxue, and the others raised their eyebrows at the same time and looked towards the west side of the island at the same time.
This was because at this moment, there was a huge fluctuation in the World Energy on the west side of the island. Although Song Wei and the others' cultivation was far inferior to Xia Ruofei's, and they were so far away, they still felt it immediately.
Soon, the World Energy on the entire Peach Blossom Island seemed to be flowing quickly, rushing towards the core of the Array on the west side of the island.
When Xia Ruofei arranged a protective array for the Spirit Map Scroll, he also added a Spirit Gathering Array around it.
After accumulating for so many days, the World Energy on the Peach Blossom Island was already very rich. Xia Ruofei added another Spirit Gathering Array, which was equivalent to gathering the World Energy from other places, increasing the density of the World Energy by a few points.
At the beginning, the Ring-Tu space absorbed the World Energy from the outside world like a whale swallowing water.
This was because the absorption of spiritual energy by the space was not the same as when cultivators cultivated, where they needed to circulate their cultivation techniques to absorb spiritual energy. The space of the Spirit Map was truly absorbing spiritual energy! However much World Energy was absorbed, the same amount of World Energy would be stored. At most, it would be compressed.
Therefore, this absorption speed was quite terrifying.
Song Wei and the others felt that the direction of Xia Ruofei's closed-door cultivation seemed to have formed a black hole, and the World Energy around them was pouring directly into it as if it was free.
Soon, they felt that the concentration of World Energy around their bodies had a slight tendency to decrease. This speed was really terrifying. The range of the Peach Blossom Island's Array was so large, and the total amount of World Energy was quite considerable. Moreover, when the concentration of World Energy decreased, the Spirit Gathering Array of the Great Void Mystic Clear Array would immediately accelerate the absorption. Under normal circumstances, when the concentration of World Energy reached a limit, it would form a dynamic balance.
Only when the consumption speed was far greater than the absorption speed of the Array would the concentration of World Energy on the entire island begin to decrease.
Everyone couldn't help but be secretly speechless. What did Xia Ruofei do? Could breaking through to the Gold Core stage really cause such a big movement?
Xia Ruofei's cultivation level was no longer something that Song Wei, Ling Qingxue, Li Yifu, and the others could reach. They didn't have an intuitive idea of what it was like to be in the Early-stage of the Gold Core stage, so they could only quietly pay attention to Xia Ruofei's situation with a trace of worry. At the same time, they secretly prayed for Xia Ruofei in their hearts.
In fact, Xia Ruofei's situation in the Ring-Tu space was not as dangerous as everyone had feared.
It was just that the constant hunger in his Dantian made him feel a little uncomfortable. Anyway, no matter how many strands of World Energy he cultivated, the World Energy vortex in his Dantian would absorb them all, as if it would never be full.
Xia Ruofei had no choice but to continue to operate the second level of the Great Dao Technique, and at the same time, continue to absorb the World Energy in the space.
It could be said that there were countless World Energy being absorbed by Xia Ruofei every second.
This was also because Xia Ruofei had so many unique conditions. Otherwise, even the head of a cultivation sect like Luo Qingfeng would not have so many resources for him to squander.
In fact, for cultivators like Luo Qingfeng and most of them, even if they finished building the skeleton of the Vital Qi whirlpool, the formation of the entire Vital Qi whirlpool would not be completed overnight. This was because the consumption of spiritual energy was too great.
Therefore, a normal Early-stage Gold Core cultivator would spend a lot of time in the World Energy vortex stage, constantly producing World Energy through cultivation. At the same time, the World Energy would be absorbed by the vortex, making the vortex slowly grow.
This process might last for several months or even a year or two.
Before the cultivator succeeded in building the World Energy vortex, the whole vortex would only enter and not exit, and it would not form a normal energy cycle with the Dantian and the body. World Energy was the purest energy in the cultivator's body, so it led to a side effect. During the period from the initial formation of the World Energy vortex to the thorough stabilization of the World Energy vortex, most people would be as thin as a match, just like a skeleton.
This included Luo Qingfeng.
Xia Ruofei did not know how ordinary cultivators built the World Energy vortex — the second level of the Great Dao Technique did not mention it! Furthermore, the cultivation technique did not mention that the World Energy vortex could be stabilized bit by bit. It did not need to be done overnight.
Even if Xia Ruofei knew that he could do it slowly, he would not choose this relatively safer cultivation path if the conditions allowed it. The reason was very simple — the constant intense hunger was just too unbearable. Furthermore, if he stopped cultivating, the remaining World Energy in his meridians, bones, and muscles would be extracted and devoured by the World Energy vortex. This was also the reason why many cultivators at this stage were like skeletons. If Xia Ruofei knew that he would end up like that, he definitely would not have made the safe choice.
In short, before the World Energy vortex was completely stabilized, Xia Ruofei constantly absorbed World Energy to cultivate.
Of course, he could also sense that the World Energy vortex in his Dantian was beginning to stabilize bit by bit. After absorbing so much World Energy, it was not for nothing.
Xia Ruofei's cultivation time was actually quite long. Thankfully, there was a thirty-fold difference in the flow of time between the Primordial Realm and the outside world. Therefore, Song Wei and company did not feel like they had waited long in the outside world.
The concentration of World Energy in the outside world had already decreased to about half of its usual stability. The World Energy in the Ring-Tu space had also decreased due to the thinning of World Energy. Xia Ruofei finally sensed that the World Energy vortex had completely stabilized.
He had just produced a wisp of World Energy during his cultivation. Although the vortex had absorbed it, it actually spat out half of it.
This wisp — or more accurately, half a wisp of World Energy — was floating outside the range of the World Energy vortex in his Dantian space.
Xia Ruofei was pleasantly surprised. This long cultivation process was finally coming to an end. He roughly estimated that if the Primordial Qi produced during this cultivation process was not absorbed and compressed by the whirlpool, but was left directly in his dantian, he was afraid that ten dantians would not be able to contain it.
In other words, the World Energy vortex had successfully compressed the energy at least ten times. The amount of energy per unit volume was more than ten times that of ordinary World Energy. Compared to the World Energy from before, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Xia Ruofei could now relax a little. He also sensed that the concentration of World Energy in the Ring-Tu space seemed to have decreased to a certain extent. However, the decrease was not too great. It was still far from damaging the space's foundation. Therefore, he did not immediately stop cultivating. Instead, he continued to circulate the second level of the Great Dao Sutra and continued absorbing World Energy.
The reason was very simple — the World Energy vortex was finally full, but his Dantian was still empty! No matter what, he had to fill the World Energy in his Dantian first!
However, the hunger had begun to ease, so Xia Ruofei also deliberately slowed down his cultivation speed. He steadily absorbed World Energy and then produced World Energy to fill the space in his Dantian bit by bit.
Xia Ruofei slowed down his absorption speed, which could be considered as a relief for the somewhat overwhelmed Ring-Tu space. Under such circumstances, the Ring-Tu space continued to absorb energy from the chaotic space and World Energy from the outside world. Therefore, the concentration of World Energy in the space slowly stabilized.
