Chapter 502: Chapter 60: Spiritual Beauty Takes a Bath, Qi Cultivation with Fire, The Princess and the Noble Lady. (6K)

"Zhao Xing, what treasure lies beneath us?" Long Xiao asked, "Why do I feel an upsurge of blood and dryness of the mouth and tongue?"

"I can hardly wait to jump right down," Xia Jing inhaled deeply, "Why does it attract me so strongly?"

Ji Ziyun and Chen Shijie, although silent, betrayed their feelings through their expressions; it was clear they felt the same.

However, all four of them had exceptional military discipline.

When traveling together, they structured themselves strictly following military procedures.

Zhao Xing, as the group leader, had not given an order, so all four restrained themselves from any action.

"Heaven and Earth exude Spiritual Beauty, Fire Fortune is born in water, indeed a marvelous sight," Zhao Xing couldn’t help but praise, "According to the ’Five Elements Feng Shui,’ this is Fire Fortune Spiritual Beauty."

"Fortune Spiritual Treasure is classified by the Five Elements?" Long Xiao scratched his head.

"I have a modest understanding of Feng Shui and fortune as well," Ji Ziyun said, "Innate fortune is divided into the Five Elements, and the twelve Earthly Branches govern the years."

"Fire is dominated by Wu and Gui years, those with strong Fire Element Luck will experience great fortune in Wu and Gui years."

Zhao Xing nodded, "Mr. Ji is truly a Princely Heir, learned and talented."

Xia Jing tugged at his nose: "What are you implying, that I, as a Princely Heir, am just a decoration?"

"Hahaha," Ji Ziyun and Zhao Xing both laughed together.

"But I really don’t know what book ’Five Elements Feng Shui’ is from."

"Some miscellaneous book," Zhao Xing said offhandedly.

In reality, it was a volume from the Dayan Scripture.

Once the level of fortune cultivation reached the fourth stage, cultivators’ perception of fortune gradually intensified.

If one cultivated the Dayan Scripture or similar secret manuals, there was no need to reach the second-grade ’Heavenly Fate Realm’ to perceive the rise and fall of fortune to a certain extent.

Additionally, their understanding would be more detailed regarding where fortune should be placed and how to divide it.

The Dayan Scripture mentioned, ’If the qi is red and tinged with blue, adorned with purple light (fourth level), seek to augment the Five Elements Luck from Heaven and Earth, or find Heaven and Earth Spiritual Beauty, or famous mountains and great marshes, or bury ancestors in Feng Shui treasure lands.’

This means that at the fourth stage, one could actively seek methods to augment their fortune based on the Five Elements, thus facilitating an easier ascent in rank.

Previously, when Zhao Xing was promoted, he had the impulse to refine the ’Fortune Golden Dragon,’ which would require an extremely sophisticated ’Qi Refining Skill’ to actualize.

Like before in Gucheng at East Lake Spirit Mountain, the method of absorbing fortune in a crude, hurried manner only suited low-level fortune. Not only was this wasteful, but it also was not suited for the promotion of higher-level fortune.

"You all are talking too complicated, I don’t quite understand," Long Xiao scratched his head, "Zhao Xing, just tell me directly, how do I obtain the benefits here?"

"Simple," Zhao Xing smiled, "Take a bath in it."

"Ah?" Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, and Xia Jing all paused, "Bathe in Spiritual Beauty?"

"Yes, it’s to bathe in the Spiritual Beauty Hot Spring," Zhao Xing looked towards the valley below. "There are numerous hot springs in the valley; we each choose one to bathe in, and the Five Elements Fire Fortune will naturally increase."

Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, and Xia Jing did not know the method to refine fortune, and whether Ji Ziyun knew, Zhao Xing wasn’t sure.

He himself had a slight understanding, as there was a Chapter in the Dayan Scripture on the Five Elements Transformation Skill.

Zhao Xing could only go down and try it himself. Secret manuals regarding destiny were too profound, and even though he had perfected the Dayan Qi Observation Skill to the middle upper level and had opened the Heavenly Eye, he was still uncertain of success.

Let alone teaching it to Old Chen and the others for their cultivation.

"Cousin, be careful when you go down to the springs," Ji Ziyun cautioned, "The Five Elements Fire Fortune can have some effects on a person. Just take a bath, absolutely do not cultivate in it, lest you become possessed by the fire and go berserk."

Zhao Xing slapped his forehead, nearly forgetting this: "Mr. Ji considers everything thoroughly, I almost forgot to remind... Mr. Ji is right. If you see any illusions, pay them no mind either."

"Unless Mr. Ji and I come to pull you out."

"Understood; I won’t mess around," Long Xiao rubbed his hands.

"Let’s go down."

At Zhao Xing’s command, the Qilin Flying Boat carrying the five descended into the valley.

After disembarking the Flying Boat, Long Xiao hesitated, "That..."

Zhao Xing asked, "What’s up?"

"Should we also take it down for a wash?"

Long Xiao pointed at the Aotian Cat.

Zhao Xing laughed, "You really treat the Mountain Cat as your son, huh? Sharing even this good luck with it?"

"Sure, why not, just ensure it doesn’t run around; there are plenty of hot springs here," he said.

The Spiritual Beauty Hot Spring here was one of the major opportunities in the Dao Feng Mountain Range.

Literally major.

Because even if dozens more people took a bath, it wouldn’t matter; an individual could not absorb that much Fire Fortune in a short time.

"Alright, I promise to keep a close eye on it," Long Xiao cheerfully picked up the Aotian Cat and left.

"You might as well give the Mountain Cat to Long Xiao," Xia Jing watched Long Xiao’s retreating figure and said, "I find he genuinely loves that cat."

"It’s not a bad idea."

For Zhao Xing, a pet was just a pet, something to keep out of boredom, but he would never treat a pet like a child the way Long Xiao did.

With Long Xiao’s relatively simple nature, he was indeed well-suited to keep a pet, and the Mountain Cat would have a good home with him.

One day when he returned to Gucheng, he’d make a trip to East Lake Mountain to ask the Mountain God to dissolve the master-servant contract, and then he’d give it to Long Xiao.

But this was a minor matter that Zhao Xing didn’t dwell on. After flying around the valley, he chose a small hot spring to test the waters first.

"Old Chen, will you do it or shall I?"

"You go ahead, your Five Elements Fog Concealment is suitable."

"Alright."

Zhao Xing pointed towards the sky, activating the Five Elements Fog Concealment.

The valley was now obscured from the map by the Fog Concealment Technique.

If someone passed by, unless they could see through high-level Five Elements Fog Concealment, they wouldn’t discover this treasure spot.

"Done, let’s take a bath."

Zhao Xing undressed and jumped in.
