Chapter 78: The Little Funnel

rmation he had seen in the jade slips within Xiyuan Pavilion, hoping to find a suitable solution from them. Unfortunately, he came up empty-handed. The pervasive undercurrents continued to surge, but...Time and time again, Lu Ye tried and failed. However, he didn't get discouraged, instead, he was excited because every failure was accumulating experience.

The biggest difficulty in bestowing a Gathering Spirit Rune onto one's spiritual aperture is the surging and circulating of one's own spirit energy. The flowing spirit energy could potentially shatter the Gathering Spirit Rune.

That's why Lü Ye wanted to imprint spirit runes into his spiritual aperture. He had to avoid the impact of spiritual energy, otherwise, it would be impossible to succeed.

This brings up another issue: if the constructed spirit pattern is too far from the spirit aperture, it won't be very effective. For example, if Lu Ye constructs a spirit pattern on his hand, the spirit pattern gathers spiritual energy, but his body struggles to accept the incoming spiritual energy and transform it into his own spiritual power.

To make a spirit line effective while maintaining its stability, it's necessary to find a balance.

Fortunately, the cost of building a Gathering Spirit Rune is not high. Lu Ye discovered this when he first received the rune.

Even after two hours, it still hasn't been successful.

Lu Ye tried to change the shape of his spiritual veins. Normally, when spiritual veins were cast, they took a flat shape. It was impossible for anyone who wasn't deeply skilled in this art to alter their form.

Although Lu Ye had not studied the knowledge of spirit patterns, when he obtained these spirit patterns, a large amount of information about them would pour into his mind, allowing him to comprehend the various mysteries of these spirit patterns.

As for the three spirit patterns Lu Ye currently possessed, he had the ability to change his form. What he lacked was practical experience.

Once again, he tried and tried. After half a day, a Gathering Spirit pattern finally formed, and this time, it wasn't dispersed by its own flowing energy.

It worked!

Lu Ye's face lit up with a delighted smile as he silently sensed the surroundings. He could feel that under the influence of the spirit pattern, the surrounding heaven and earth's spiritual energy gathered and surged towards the spirit aperture, transforming into his own spiritual power.

At this moment, the gathering spirit pattern was transformed by him into a funnel shape, then imprinted onto his spirit aperture. The narrow point of that funnel pierced into his spirit aperture with the smallest possible movement.

In other words, the spiritual energy gathered from the outside world will be directly channeled through this small funnel and injected into his spirit aperture. Through the flow and transformation of spiritual power, it bypasses his physical body altogether.

Therefore, whether Lu Ye's talent is one leaf or sixty-four leaves, it will not affect the effect of the Gathering Spirit Spirit Pattern.

I'm quite clever, aren't I Lu Ye couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Although the Gathering Spirit Rune was successfully inscribed on the spirit aperture, allowing him to begin absorbing ambient spiritual energy, its size limited its effectiveness. The effect was quite minimal.

This is just a glimpse...

Now, Lu Ye has opened twenty-nine acupoints...

If all twenty-nine orifices were empowered with gathering spirit runes, what would be the effect

Lu Ye couldn't help but feel excited. If this idea could be realized, then his cultivation in the future wouldn't be limited to swallowing spirit pills. He could also inhale and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth! Not only would it save a lot of cultivation resources, but it could also improve his cultivation efficiency.

The moment this thought popped into his head, Lu Ye couldn't hold back any longer and immediately began to try it.

Having had a successful first experience, the second time became much simpler.

In less than half an hour, Lu Ye had bestowed the small funnel spirit pattern onto his second spiritual aperture, then his third, fourth... Lu Ye gradually became adept at it.

By the time Lu Ye reached his tenth spiritual aperture, he could vaguely feel the effects. When he reached twenty, the effects became more apparent. It wasn't until he had imbued all twenty-nine of his spiritual apertures with the Gathering Spirit runes that night fell.

At this moment, he clearly felt the surrounding heaven and earth's spiritual energy continuously flowing into each of his acupoints. As the spiritual power surged and flowed, it transformed into his own strength.

Of course, that's impossible in reality. Right now, Lu Ye's state is stable, so his spirit patterns are able to remain. But once he engages in combat with others, his own spiritual energy will flow and surge, making it very easy for the spirit patterns to be destroyed.

To put it simply, this was a win-win deal. Lu Ye only needed to construct the spiritual patterns at the right time and imbue them onto his spirit aperture. After that, he didn't have to do anything. The ambient spiritual energy would be drawn in by itself, flowing into his body. He could even go about doing other things…

Now we just have to see how much these spirit patterns can benefit him within a certain timeframe.

To investigate this, he closed his eyes and focused on the changes in his internal spiritual energy.

Three hours later, he reached a conclusion: if the twenty-nine spiritual apertures' spirit patterns could be maintained for a day and a night, the benefits it brought him would be almost equivalent to taking a single Essence Gathering Pill...

It's not a lot, but it's not little either.Along the way, the ghosts kept chattering incessantly, occasionally asking Lu Ye how he was feeling.
