A leaf on the天赋 tree bore the spirit pattern of Feng Rui. What about the other leaves? Do they also bear other spirit patterns?
If I can light up more leaves, wouldn't I be able to gain knowledge of more types of spirit patterns?
Thinking of the vast canopy and countless leaves of the天赋 tree, Lu Ye's heart burned with excitement.

How to light up the other leaves, Lu Ye had some vague guesses, but he couldn't verify them now. He could only wait for an opportunity in the future.
What he could do now was to open more spirit orifices as soon as possible to enhance his cultivation.
The first spirit orifice a cultivator opens is located at the dantian, which is the starting point of cultivation, known as the Source Spirit Orifice. How to open subsequent spirit orifices depends on the cultivation technique practiced.
Different cultivation techniques open spirit orifices at different locations, and the more spirit orifices opened, the higher the cultivation level.
Now, the *Jin Chan Xiang Yao Jue* would come in handy!
Lu Ye slightly calmed his excited heart, picked up the storage bag from Manager Yang, and started to tidy up the items. Only then did he realize in surprise that his palm, which had just imprinted Feng Rui, was riddled with holes, as if pierced by countless needles, and had bled quite a bit.
In his excitement, he hadn't felt it at the time.
Now that he noticed, the pain was piercing and continuously stimulating his nerves.
He reflected inwardly, realizing that in the future, if he obtained any spirit patterns, he shouldn't easily use them on himself.
He quickly tidied up the items he had taken out and moved away from the range of the yuan magnetic field.
He now faced two paths: one was to leave the mine. Manager Yang had come to take refuge because the Haotian Alliance had attacked. With the power of the Evil Moon Valley, they couldn't protect the mine, so he had come to take refuge first.
Otherwise, if the mine was captured, as a disciple of the Evil Moon Valley, he would surely face a grim fate.
If he could connect with the cultivators of the Haotian Alliance, he could escape the suffering and no longer have to stay here to be oppressed.
But this was clearly not a wise choice.
Manager Yang had already received the news and come to take refuge, so other disciples of the Evil Moon Valley would also come. This was the most chaotic time. If he could smoothly leave the mine, it would be best, but if he accidentally encountered any disciples of the Evil Moon Valley who had come to take refuge, Lu Ye's fate would be the same as the miners who were casually killed by Manager Yang.
So he chose the second path, to stay and wait.
This place was extremely hidden, and ordinary people couldn't find it. Moreover, it was advantageous for both offense and defense. If any disciples of the Evil Moon Valley accidentally came in, Lu Ye could use the yuan magnetic field to ambush them, so he wouldn't be completely helpless.
Furthermore, his injuries were not yet fully healed, and he shouldn't move around too much.
He recalled what Manager Yang had said to him. If he remembered correctly, Manager Yang had said:
"The Haotian Alliance has attacked, and the mine can't be protected for now. The Haotian Alliance won't stay long, but it will take one or two months."
The implication was clear: Manager Yang believed that even if the Haotian Alliance could capture the mine, they couldn't hold it for long. So in one or two months, the Haotian Alliance would withdraw, and the mine would return to the Evil Moon Valley.
Considering the information he had, Lu Ye made a plan.
Stay here to recover and cultivate, and leave the mine in a month to find the Haotian Alliance and save himself from the suffering!
Having made up his mind, Lu Ye felt much more at ease. The hardest days were over. Now that he had successfully opened his spirit orifice and had a天赋 tree, he had a long future ahead, so there was no need to be too anxious.
Finding a suitable spot, Lu Ye took out a blanket from Manager Yang's storage bag, spread it out, and sat down quietly. He took out the *Jin Chan Xiang Yao Jue* and carefully studied it.
The mine was pitch black, but now that he had successfully opened his spirit orifice, he could see. Soon, he discovered something interesting: when he concentrated his spirit energy on his eyes, he could see things more clearly.
Unfortunately, he had only opened the Source Spirit Orifice, and his spirit energy was limited, so he couldn't maintain it for long.
When hungry, he ate; when tired, he slept. Apart from the poor environment, there was nothing else to worry about. Lu Ye was now immersed in the excitement of opening his spirit orifice and didn't have high requirements for the environment.
In the darkness, it was impossible to tell time, and Lu Ye didn't know how long it had been, but it was probably a few days.
The injuries on his legs and hands were almost healed. After opening his spirit orifice and becoming a cultivator, his physical condition seemed to have improved significantly. In the past, a stab wound on his thigh would have taken at least ten to fifteen days to heal.
Of course, this was also related to the fact that Lu Ye took Qi Xue Dan daily.
Through studying the *Jin Chan Xiang Yao Jue*, Lu Ye found that this cultivation technique was not immediately useful to him. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the technique, but rather that Lu Ye had just opened his Source Spirit Orifice, and to open the next one, he needed to meet certain conditions.
If the spirit orifices are compared to lakes in a cultivator's body, the water in the lakes is the cultivator's spirit energy. Therefore, the more spirit orifices a cultivator opens, the more spirit energy they can store.
However, to open the next spirit orifice, the prerequisite is that the previous one must be fully developed, meaning the spirit energy must fill the spirit orifice.
For Lu Ye, what he needed to do now was to continuously cultivate and strengthen the spirit energy in his Source Spirit Orifice. When the spirit energy in the Source Spirit Orifice was full, he could open the next one, and then he would need the *Jin Chan Xiang Yao Jue*.
There were several ways to strengthen spirit energy.
The most common method was to take cultivation-type spirit pills, which would transform into spirit energy and fill the spirit orifices.
The second method was to absorb spirit energy. Spirit energy exists in any environment, but the amount varies. After opening a spirit orifice, a cultivator can sense the presence of spirit energy. By inhaling and exhaling, they can absorb and refine this spirit energy into their body, enhancing their cultivation.
The third method was to use spirit stones, which Lu Ye had only heard of but never seen.
The last method was to refine essence into qi.
First, strengthen one's essence and blood, then refine it into spirit energy, which can also achieve the purpose of cultivation.
Each method had its advantages and disadvantages, and it was hard to generalize.
Although Lu Ye had not yet entered the ranks of cultivators, he had often heard other miners talk about cultivation with a sense of longing, hoping to one day rise to a higher status.
Through this, Lu Ye had learned some basic knowledge.
Currently, the first method was not available to Lu Ye, as he didn't have cultivation spirit pills. Although he was sure that Manager Yang's storage bag contained them, there were so many bottles, and he couldn't identify them, nor did he dare to try them rashly.
The second method, he had tried, but due to the proximity to the yuan magnetic field or some other reason, he didn't feel the presence of spirit energy, so he couldn't absorb it.
The only thing he could do was to refine essence into qi.
