Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2801 - 1037:

"The journey of Qi Refinement is achieved through deep meditation. Within the core of one's consciousness, one must contemplate the world's Qi and then refine it for personal use. This process is what is termed Qi Refinement."

"Brother, while I grasp the theory, how does one actually perceive the existence of Heaven and Earth Qi?"

Responding to his sister Zhou Qingyu's question, Zhou Fuqiu found himself momentarily stunned.

For him, this was a matter that had never required contemplation.

It simply felt natural; he perceived the Water Attribute Spirit Qi as being all around him, absorbing and refining it as effortlessly as breathing.

Yet, for Zhou Qingyu, it seemed an insurmountable chasm lay before the very threshold of cultivation.

"Could it be that the three elixirs provided by the esteemed senior of the Alchemy Sect were ineffective?"

A month prior, he had already bestowed upon his sister the Five Viscera Nourishing Pill, the Snow Spirit Vein-Opening Powder, and most critically, the Spiritual Root Pill—all gifts from their ancestor.

As per the descriptions, these three elixirs, when used in conjunction, were meant to foster an "Elixir Spirit Root" within a mortal, thereby aiding them in absorbing Heaven and Earth Qi.

Furthermore, the potency of this medicinal effect was slated to endure for three decades!

Within those thirty years, should she manage to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, she would gain the innate ability to sense and capture external Spirit Qi, utilizing her cultivator's external Spirit Consciousness and her internally expanded Sea of Qi.

However, Zhou Qingyu's inherent physical body talent proved to be unexpectedly feeble.

Even with the Elixir Spirit Root integrated within her, she still could not sense the external Spirit Qi.

It was perplexing; they were twins, born of the same parents. How could he possess such exceptional aptitude while she was so lacking?

Even in Zhou Fuqiu's estimation, as his sister matured, she demonstrated remarkable intelligence, quickly grasping complex concepts from scriptures whenever he offered explanations.

"If only I could transfer half of my innate talent to her."

He sighed inwardly, though his expression remained devoid of disappointment.

After a period of reflection, a method recorded in ancient texts surfaced in his mind—a technique employed by certain High Order Cultivators to help their lower-order counterparts gain an early perception of the subsequent realm.

While this Doctrine involved a degree of energy depletion and wasn't always successful, Zhou Fuqiu was beyond caring about such limitations now.

"Mao Mao, close your eyes, relax your body, and do not resist me!"

Zhou Qingyu, though confused, placed her absolute trust in her brother and obediently shut her eyes.

Zhou Fuqiu drew a deep breath, slowly extended his hand, and gently placed it upon the girl's head.

Subsequently, tendrils of pure Spirit Power emanated from his palm, penetrating the girl's body through various acupoints, including Baihui, Wind Pool, and Temple.

For a fleeting moment, the girl involuntarily emitted a soft groan of pain.

Observing this, Zhou Fuqiu urgently instructed:

"Do not resist! Follow my guidance and endeavor to sense the world around you!"

Enduring considerable discomfort, the girl strived to maintain a clear mind.

Gradually, faint specks of light seemed to appear beyond her physical form.

Could this be Spirit Qi?

Uncertain of the duration that elapsed, the girl slowly fluttered her eyes open. Facing her was Zhou Fuqiu, his gaze filled with profound concern.

Zhou Qingyu parted her lips, her voice weak yet brimming with immense delight, and declared: "I sensed the presence of Spirit Qi!"

A breath of relief escaped Zhou Fuqiu's lips.

His own delight mirrored his sister's.

He had initially anticipated that this Guiding Technique might require several attempts to yield results, yet to his surprise, it had proven effective on the very first try.

His sister’s physical form appeared to offer minimal resistance to his Spirit Power?

The initial pain she experienced was simply because Zhou Qingyu, still within a mortal vessel, lacked the capacity to withstand potent Spirit Power.

"Logically speaking, each individual is a distinct entity. Why then does my sister exhibit such negligible resistance to my Spirit Power?"

This thought briefly crossed his mind before Zhou Fuqiu inquired for further details.

"Did you perceive any specific attributes associated with the Spirit Qi?"

"All five colors were present—a chaotic and mingled display."

"Then, the Elixir Spirit Root within your being encompasses the Five Elements. Did you find any particular affinity, any that felt easier to absorb?"

"No, they all felt remarkably similar."

"Tsk tsk, who truly knows the efficacy of the Spiritual Root Pill formulated by that Alchemy Sect senior. While providing a glimmer of hope, it ultimately leads to such despair. Can five Spirit Roots truly pave the direct path to the Great Dao?"

After a moment's deliberation, Zhou Fuqiu refused to be discouraged.

If the senior from the Alchemy Sect had achieved such a feat, and if Zhou Ping’an, who was taken away by the Tian Nan Dao Palace possessing Five Spirit Roots, also aimed for such heights, then why should he not endeavor to cultivate his sister?

All that was truly required was an abundance of resources!

Luckily, his current standing within the Zhou Family was exceedingly high, second only to a single individual, granting him unrestricted access to any resources he wished. Furthermore, considering his astonishing talent, common resources were far beneath his needs; they would be entirely devoted to his sister.

"Rest well. I shall visit the family's Scripture Pavilion to select appropriate cultivation techniques for you."

After offering brief advice, Zhou Fuqiu rose and departed from the Green Water Pavilion.

...

The Zhou Family's Scripture Pavilion was situated a considerable distance from the Green Water Pavilion, requiring some time to traverse.

Zhou Fuqiu employed the recently acquired Water Escape Technique, the Wave Stepping Technique, to swiftly reach his destination.

En route, he crossed paths with several members of the Zhou Family.

However, upon beholding the striking young man clad in crimson coral and white robes, they all respectfully yielded the way.

Even the Foundation Establishment True Cultivator stationed outside the Scripture Pavilion did not impede his progress after he presented the ancestral token.

Once inside the Scripture Pavilion, Zhou Fuqiu skillfully commenced his examination of the scrolls and texts.

From the first floor to the fourth, amidst a vast array of cultivation techniques, a mere glance was sufficient for him to grasp their general purposes.

Yet, the more he searched, the greater Zhou Fuqiu's disappointment grew.

There were simply too few cultivation techniques that were compatible with Five Spirit Roots.
