Jiang Ye reached out his palm, slowly approaching the fiery red vortex.
Whoosh!
The fiery red vortex seemed almost spiritual, drilling into Jiang Yeâs body the instant he got close, following his palm.
Transforming into a strand of strange energy.
Coursing up along Jiang Yeâs arm, it drilled into his sea of consciousness.
"What?!" Jiang Ye was startled.
"Donât be afraid." Bai Guiâs voice rang out: "Leave it to me next."
"Alright." Jiang Ye nodded.
At the moment the fiery red vortex drilled into his body, Jiang Ye vaguely felt an odd sensation. It was as if something inside him was being drawn away.
"Is it my Qi fortune?"
"The Civilization Fire truly absorbs Qi fortune," Jiang Yeâs heart shuddered.
That feeling was extremely subtle and fleeting.
If Jiang Ye hadnât known in advance, he would have been hard-pressed to sense it, and even if he did, heâd likely not care.
The increase or decrease in Qi fortune wouldnât bring about any direct change.
For anyone else, they wouldnât associate that odd feeling with Qi fortune at all.
Theyâd most likely think it was due to their poor condition.
"Jiang Ye, youâre quite lucky."
"I have a technique that can unravel the Qi Fortune Secret Code in this fire," Bai Guiâs laughter filled the air.
"Such a coincidence?" Jiang Ye felt astonished.
He realized that the so-called âQi Fortune Secret Codeâ wasnât the kind of code he understood.
If it were, it wouldnât be unraveled so easily.
Jiang Ye didnât delve deeper into it, understanding it was a secret of third-level civilization, indeed beyond his comprehension.
In a certain sense.
Third-level civilization does not belong to the same dimension of life as first and second-level civilization.
"Alright."
"Iâve unraveled the Qi Fortune Secret Code," Bai Gui said, "You should be able to sense it now, right?"
"Sense?" Jiang Yeâs heart skipped a beat.
Swiftly.
An indescribable feeling spread from within Jiang Ye.
"What is this?" Jiang Ye sensed it, within his sea of consciousness, a strand of strange energy existed.
Before, he couldnât perceive this âenergyâ.
"Civilization Fire?"
Jiang Ye perceived that strange energy and quickly confirmed that it was the Civilization Fire previously entered his body.
"This Civilization Fire contains a vast amount of civilization Qi fortune."
"After unraveling the Qi Fortune Secret Code, I can draw out a small portion," Bai Gui said, "These Qi fortunes are being absorbed by you."
"I am absorbing civilization Qi fortune?" Jiang Ye paused slightly.
Why couldnât he feel it?
"Senior Bai Gui," Jiang Ye asked repeatedly: "Isnât cultivation technique needed to absorb civilization Qi fortune?"
"No need."
"Your body itself is a vessel that harbors Qi fortune, it will absorb it actively," Bai Gui explained, "You canât sense it because Qi fortune is formless and intangible."
"But in reality."
"Just in the time weâve been talking, your body has already absorbed a large amount of Qi fortune," Bai Gui chuckled.
Jiang Ye was taken aback.
Because he indeed felt nothing.
"What impact does absorbing a large amount of Qi fortune have on me?" Jiang Ye inquired.
"Impact? Hard to say."
"The influence of Qi fortune is subtle and gradual," Bai Gui replied, "You donât need to delve into it; chasing it deliberately would weaken its impact."
Jiang Ye nodded.
He knew too little about Qi fortune.
"Even if someoneâs Qi Fortune goes to zero instantly, nothing significant may happen," Bai Gui said, "But their future will certainly be challenging, perhaps they would face a calamity and die after a few days."
"Similarly."
"Your Qi fortune surges, but no immediate changes will occur," Bai Gui added, "The effect of Qi fortune will show in your future cultivation and battles."
"Got it," Jiang Ye suddenly understood.
This Qi fortune truly is mysterious.
Judging from Bai Guiâs tone, it seems even she canât completely explain it.
"Alright."
"Youâve finished absorbing," Bai Gui suddenly said.
"What?" Jiang Ye was stunned, "Itâs over just like that?"
It seemed slow when told.
But during his conversation with Bai Gui, only a few seconds passed.
"Didnât you say the Civilization Fire contained a vast amount of Qi fortune?" Jiang Ye couldnât help but ask, "Is it done so quickly?"
"Civilization Fire itself is a vessel that absorbs Qi fortune and indeed contains a vast amount of it."
"But the Qi Fortune Secret Code I unraveled can only draw out a tiny part," Bai Gui said, "Less than a ten-thousandth."
"Of course, itâs already substantial for you."
"If youâre not satisfied, letâs find the next Civilization Fire," Bai Gui laughed.
Jiang Yeâs eyes lit up, "Bai Gui, have you sensed the location of the next Civilization Fire?"
"Yes, Iâve detected something," Bai Gui nodded.
"Great." Jiang Ye was delighted.
At once.
Without hesitation, he turned and flew back to the edge of the cliff.
"Junior, was that the Civilization Fire just now?" Liu Shishi asked with concern, having watched Jiang Yeâs actions.
"Yes." Jiang Ye nodded.
His mind flickered, and a fiery red vortex floated out, hovering above his palm.
"Senior, you take it," Jiang Ye said.
"Huh?"
"For me?" Liu Shishi was stunned, then widened her beautiful eyes in surprise.
She understood the importance of the Civilization Fire.
It is an important token to enter the Divine Hall! Hard to come by, yet Jiang Ye was actually gifting it to her?
Jiang Ye saw her hesitation and moved with his mind to transfer the Civilization Fire to Liu Shishiâs hand.
"Whoosh!" The fiery vortex quickly drilled into Liu Shishiâs body.
"You?"
Liu Shishi was shocked, she wanted to decline but found she couldnât control the Civilization Fire.
In fact, originally Jiang Ye couldnât control it either.
It was only because Bai Gui had unraveled part of the Qi Fortune Secret Code that Jiang Ye gained some control.
"Junior, youâre too generous," Liu Shishi said helplessly.
