Chapter 308: Spirit Essence Astral Projection, Qi Cultivation into Method

"Ah~" Jishan yawned, tidied up the books on the table, and it was his first week of school. He had been diligently attending classes and studying. After class, he still needed to go home.

He did not live in the dormitory but stayed in a rented apartment outside with Qin Muye. Recently, for some unknown reason, he felt unusually tired, as if his body was bearing an enormous burden.

However, he still mustered up the energy to attend and listen to classes. His schedule was packed every day, and there were also extracurricular activities.

He had ambitions to climb higher, not just to graduate easily.

For example, he planned to pursue a master's degree and other goals, constantly enriching himself.

On his way back, he always felt as if someone was watching him through the surveillance cameras. This feeling had lasted for three days. At first, he thought it was just his imagination, but once he left the school, the feeling gradually weakened and disappeared completely when he returned to his shabby apartment.

This made him very uncomfortable, but he did not dare to tell Qin Muye, fearing that he would worry.

"Classmate, please wait a moment."

After tidying up his things, Jishan left the classroom and was about to go down the stairs when he heard someone calling him.

"Are you calling me?" Jishan was a bit puzzled; he did not recognize this person.

The other person looked somewhat frail but was surprisingly agile, grabbing his shoulder as soon as he approached.

"Classmate, I see you haven't joined any clubs yet. Would you like to join our Liu Family Club?" the person said.

"What exactly does it do?" Jishan did not immediately refuse but asked instead.

"You'll know once you join. If you don't join, you don't have the right to know," the person said mysteriously.

Jishan furrowed his brow and replied, "Oh, then I won't join."

Was he a fool to join without knowing anything? What if it was some illegal organization?

A cold glint flashed in the person's eyes. "Classmate, think carefully before you speak. Otherwise, things won't be easy for you in the future."

"Are you threatening me to join your Liu Family Club, and saying I'll have a hard time if I don't? Are you a gang or something?" Jishan said loudly, and everyone in the corridor turned to look.

This made the Liu Family member's expression turn grim. "Fine, fine, I invited you out of respect. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. Just wait, this isn't over."

"I recorded it and will report it to the school," Jishan said expressionlessly.

This made the Liu Family member hesitate, and he tried to grab the recording device, but Jishan turned and ran.

Thanks to Qin Muye's teachings, he had become quite cunning.

After shaking off the pursuer, Jishan began to think about why this person was targeting him.

Clearly, something was off. He glanced at the surveillance camera subtly. From the moment that person touched him, the feeling of being watched became much stronger, indicating that more people were observing him.

It was still the same now.

He backed up the recording and submitted a copy to the school's security department.

This was an opportunity to find out who was watching him so persistently.

All the surveillance footage of Xuanqing Academy was managed by the security department.

When he arrived, he pushed the door open, but instead of the scene he imagined, there was only an old man in a security uniform.

After briefly explaining the situation, the old man said absentmindedly, "I understand. I'll report it, and they'll handle it."

The old man did not specify who "they" were, and Jishan did not ask.

Jishan knew that even if he asked, he wouldn't get an answer, so he left.

As for that so-called Liu Family Club, he did not take it seriously. If it was really that impressive, why would they hide it?

'It seems there are others monitoring me.'

'But they don't seem to have malicious intent, more like a sense of scrutiny?'

Although he felt a great burden on his body, his mind seemed to have opened up, spreading out and becoming extremely sensitive. His five senses had become extraordinarily powerful, and he even developed something akin to a sixth sense.

'I can't have awakened some kind of ability, can I? Maybe it's because of my cultivation of the I Ching.'

In a hurry to leave the school, he noticed someone following him, and this person clearly had malicious intent.

It was obvious that he was being targeted as soon as he left the school gates, and the other party was well-prepared.

‘Liu Family Club? It seems it’s only these people. There are thugs everywhere.’

In the I Ching, there are many combat techniques. Although he hadn’t used them, he had memorized quite a few of them.

It wasn’t just about astronomy and geography; it also contained various mystical spells, battle arts, and more.

Even though they looked like mere show, they were still useful.

‘I can’t let them follow me home. I need to find a place without surveillance to deal with these thugs.’ Jishan’s expression turned fierce. Being followed was one thing, but if they followed him home, he was afraid his father wouldn’t be able to handle it.

He subtly deviated from his original route and soon arrived at an almost abandoned old street. Then, he carefully hid himself.

He instinctively used the breath-holding technique from the I Ching. His breathing gradually became steady, and he seemed to blend in with the surroundings like a blade of grass.

“Lord Liu, the person came in here, but how did he disappear so quickly?” a voice came from nearby.

“He must have run away. This kid is slippery like an eel; even my spirit sense can’t detect him,” another person said.

‘Spirit sense? What’s that?’ Jishan was a bit puzzled.

“It seems he has run away. What bad luck.” Lord Liu’s tone was dark. Then he continued, “That kid must have awakened. Since he could become the top scholar of the province, his potential is definitely not ordinary. If he won’t be a dog for the Liu Family, we can’t let him join the authorities and become an obstacle.”

“Go to his house and kill him. I remember he has a blind old father. Take care of both of them.”

“Showing off in public, thinking he’s something just because he got into Xuanqing Academy.”

Lord Liu’s voice was full of jealousy. He, Liu Xuan, had personally come to recruit him, and the other party dared to refuse, showing no respect at all.

To lose face in front of so many people, how could he let it go easily?

Jishan’s face darkened. What kind of people were these, willing to kill just because of a refusal?

He realized that the world wasn’t just full of good people; there were also bad ones, those with power and influence who would kill without a second thought.

‘This world truly has extraordinary beings, but why does it seem a bit different from the I Ching my father gave me?’ Jishan looked at the people in front of him, and the qi in his body transformed into a thread of magical power.

In the ordinary world he saw, countless threads of qi revealed themselves, weaving and intertwining to form a vast world.

‘Danger, Auspiciousness, Humanity, Spirits!!!’

‘Damn~ My father’s I Ching is really true.’

Jishan could feel his soul rising, forming a higher-dimensional vision. The myriad threads of qi around him could be controlled by his magical power, creating strange effects.

Through this special vision, he could see the spiritual energy flowing within Liu Xuan and his companions, a system entirely different from his own. He used the qi of all things to cultivate his own magical power and form a spirit essence, while they used a crude and backward method.

At that moment, in his eyes, these people were full of weaknesses.

He slowly stepped out, the sense of oneness with heaven and earth making him deeply engrossed. The magical power within him moved at his will, and the myriad threads of qi burst forth.

This made Liu Xuan and his companions suddenly feel a chill in their hearts, and they then noticed Jishan in the distance.

“Good kid, you still know... ugh~” Liu Xuan was about to say something menacing, but suddenly felt unable to breathe, as if his throat had been strangled.

Then, his vision began to flash with chaotic lines.

“The darkness star constructed by the four fundamental forces, using qi as a guide, can be triggered by a thread of magical power. Indeed, knowledge is power.”

Jishan said slowly. The figures of the people nearby began to blur, their clothes and bodies turning into lines.

In the end, they were completely annihilated in the distortion, leaving no trace behind, saving the trouble of disposing of the bodies.

“Unfortunately, my magical power is limited, so I can only use an incomplete version. It’s impressive that I could do this much, thanks to the darkness star, but it seems I’ve overextended myself a bit.” Jishan felt the pain in his spirit essence and sighed helplessly.

To be able to do this much on his first try was already quite remarkable.

“Indeed, the Human Section of the I Ching is the key, while the Heaven and Earth Sections are just resources.”

“Just like heaven and earth, they are merely the resources of a qi cultivator!”

“And... why do I have a status panel? Who gave me this golden finger?”
