Chapter 559: Chapter 559: The Power of Wind

"This is the power of Wind Essence Qi. Just imagine how strong one could be by converting this Wind Essence Qi for personal use!"

As Fang Bai spoke, he circulated the "Wind Art" Cultivation Technique. Instead of absorbing the Wind Essence Qi into his body, he allowed a large amount of it to gather around him. When it amassed to the point where he was almost unable to control it, he finally launched a punch.

Boom—

Rustle rustle—

A tremendous amount of Wind Essence Qi surged forward with his punch, forming a mini storm that swept ahead. It lifted a boulder from the mountaintop that weighed several hundred pounds into the sky. Then, under the crushing and twisting forces of the mini storm, the boulder shattered into pieces that fell at the foot of the mountain.

If it were not a boulder but a person, it’s likely that not even a corpse would be found after Fang Bai’s punch.

Ye Wumei watched with her tongue clicking in awe, knowing that with her current Cultivation Level, she could not do what Fang Bai had just done.

In the following hour, Fang Bai inscribed the Formation, placed Essence Stones, and set up a small-scale Gathering Essence Array on the mountaintop.

Although the scope of this small-scale Gathering Essence Array was only about a dozen feet in diameter, it could gather Wind Essence Qi from tens of miles around into the Array. The concentration of Wind Essence Qi inside the Array was nearly ten times greater than the outside world.

Wind Essence Qi is, in fact, the essence of the power of the wind, and the Gathering Essence Array that Fang Bai had set up was designed to gather the essence of Wind Essence Qi from tens of miles around into a small Array, which would assist Ye Wumei in her Cultivation.

Imagine compressing the essence of the wind from tens of miles around into an area with a diameter of just a dozen feet. The power of the wind contained within would be terrifying. If an ordinary person were to enter, they would instantly be torn to shreds by the fierce wind force within the Array.

Even a typical Martial Artist, if their body was not sufficiently robust, could get injured if they rashly entered this Gathering Essence Array that concentrated the essence of the wind’s power.

Ye Wumei possessed an Innate Wind Spirit Root and had an affinity for the power of the wind beyond what an ordinary person could fathom, fearless of any wind force.

After Fang Bai had completed setting up the Gathering Essence Array, Ye Wumei learned the trick to activating the Array and launched it herself, then entered to personally experience the wonders of this Gathering Essence Array.

Upon entering the Array, her body was immediately enveloped in dense Wind Essence Qi, like the mighty winds of the heavens. The potent currents swirled and swept around her, sharp as knives but unable to harm her in the slightest.

She sat down cross-legged within the Array and began to circulate the "Wind Art." Strands of Wind Essence Qi started to rush wildly into her body. She seemed to merge with the wind around her, rising with its currents and hovering three feet above the ground.

Despite Ye Wumei’s astounding speed of absorbing the Wind Essence Qi, the supply continued to flow in from the sea, with no worry of depletion.

However, Ye Wumei’s Cultivation Level was too low, and her meridians were fragile. She could not absorb too much Wind Essence Qi at once, or her meridians might burst from the sudden surge.

About half an hour later, Ye Wumei felt her meridians swelling to the point of bursting and knew she couldn’t continue. She immediately ended her Cultivation, shut down the Gathering Essence Array, and the gathered Wind Essence Qi dispersed back into the heavens and earth.

Ye Wumei continued to sit cross-legged in the Array, channeling the abundant Wind Essence Qi within her meridians into her Qi Sea. Only then did she slowly stand up and walk out of the Array.

Her cultivation this time was more effective than ten or even fifteen days of her routine practice. Moving about, she felt as light as a feather, as if a sea breeze might lift her and carry her off into the wind.

"With your innate Wind Spirit Root, you can harness the wind from the heavens and earth to enhance your movement technique or your offensive and defensive capabilities. Especially in terms of movement technique, your future achievements will surpass those of your peers. One day, when your cultivation level reaches an extremely profound realm, you will be able to soar on the wind, travel thousands of miles in a blink, and with a single punch, destroy the heavens and shatter the earth!"

Seeing the look of surprise and delight on Ye Wumei’s face, Fang Bai said with a smile.

"Travel thousands of miles in a blink... Destroy the heavens and shatter the earth... That sounds very powerful!"

Ye Wumei imagined such a scene in her mind, her heart bursting with excitement, and her expression full of yearning.

But Ye Wumei also knew that to reach the miraculous realm Fang Bai described would require many years of arduous cultivation.

Later, Fang Bai busied himself at the top of the mountain, setting up an illusionary formation around the perimeter of the Gathering Essence Array to conceal it. Even if someone were to climb the mountain, they would not discover the Array, let alone enter it.

From now on, aside from Fang Bai and Ye Wumei, it would be nearly impossible for anyone else to enter the Gathering Essence Array at the mountain peak.

"Although cultivating within the Gathering Essence Array will yield twice the result with half the effort, and brings many benefits, you must remember that after each cultivation session, you should wait until the Wind Essence Qi absorbed into your body is fully integrated into the Qi Sea, and becomes denser and purer within the Qi Sea before you can continue the next one,"

Fang Bai instructed carefully.

Ye Wumei nodded and replied, "I understand, cultivation must be done according to one’s capacity. Going overboard is just as bad as falling short."

Facing the sea, Fang Bai inhaled the slightly fishy air coming from the ocean and said, "The main reason I came to Lingnan this time was to set up the Gathering Essence Array for you. Now that the task is completed, I should be heading back to Yanjing."

"No way!"

Ye Wumei wrapped her arms around one of Fang Bai’s arms, coquettishly saying, "I won’t let you go! You’ve just arrived in Lingnan, and I haven’t even had the chance to show you around! There are so many snacks and sights in Lingnan! Come on, let’s go out and enjoy ourselves right now!"

Fang Bai’s arm was tightly embraced by her, feeling the soft pressure against his chest, which made him feel a flutter in his heart as he responded with a wry smile, "Don’t forget, I’m an intern at Yanjing Hospital. If I return too late, I might get fired!"

Ye Wumei giggled and said, "I don’t believe that! With your medical skills, the leaders at Yanjing Hospital should be bending over backwards to keep you. If they fire you, they must have taken the wrong medicine and gone insane!"

After a pause, she added, "Why do you even want to be an intern at Yanjing Hospital? Why not manage your family’s ’Fang’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic’ back in Zhongzhou? Maybe one day you could turn ’Fang’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic’ into the world’s number one traditional Chinese medicine enterprise!"

"I’m not very interested in that! Let my parents fuss over ’Fang’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic’!"

Fang Bai said earnestly, "My main purpose of interning at the hospital is to temper my mind. A martial artist must experience joy, anger, grief, and pleasure, understand the suffering of the world, and witness life in all its variety. Only then can one’s mental state become more robust and stable, avoiding inner demons during cultivation, and hope to reach higher realms in the Martial Dao!"

Ye Wumei asked, "Is that what you always call ’Red Dust Heart Refinement’?"
