Chapter 146: Spirit Gathering Realm.
Predators were all creatures who prioritized their instincts. Hao Ren showed a strong intent to kill and the crocodiles knew that he was not someone to mess with. He fished out his phone and found it was still working, and asked, "Xiao Mei show me a map of the Chama forest."
The AI followed the command and said, "Boss, I can only follow three commands, Mistress has asked me to not help you."
Hao Ren narrowed his gaze and asked, "That old man asked her to do this right?"
Xiao Mei replied yes, and Hao Ren clenched his fist and said, "He will come to know my wrath."
Xiao Mei sighed and said, "Boss, they said it is to make sure you are disconnected from the secular world. Why do you misunderstand them?"
Hao Ren snorted, and asked for the data of the forest. It turned out there was an ancient ruin located in the center of the forest but it none of the researchers have been able to locate an entrance of the ruin. They believe that the entrance was buried under the soil and the environmental factors prevented them from performing archeological procedures.
Hao Ren had photographic memory. He memorized the entire terrain and the map of the forest quickly, and put his phone back in the space ring. Yes, since he was supposed to come and connect with the nature, that\'s what he will do.
He looked around the shore of the pond and found a lot of trees and tall grass surrounding the place. Thankfully the sun was still up, but he needed to dry his clothes first. He went inside the tree line with his knife and chopped off a few branches, and picked up some twigs as well.
He came back to the shore and sat down on the sand to make a shaft and a base plate with a hole in it. Then he used the shavings of wood to stuff the hole in the base he created before he put the shaft on it and began to churn it.
His speed was fast and his motion was perpetual. The shaft and the shavings rubbed against each other and quickly they produced smoke. Hao Ren used the smoldering shavings as the accelerant and set the broken twigs on fire before he added the branches on top. The branches were green and they would take some time to catch fire.
After the fire was lit, Hao Ren took off his clothes and hung them up next to the flames. The heat will help him dry the clothes. The young man took a deep breath as he relaxed in a clean pair of undergarments.
Yes, he took a couple of pair of clothes with him, but that was only to prevent a situation like this where his clothes might get wet. He was a body refinement practitioner, but it did not make him invincible. As a medical practitioner, basic hygiene was his priority as well. In rainforest humidity was the biggest issue and pubic region was the first place that would cause him trouble.
After setting his clothes next to the fire, he closed his eyes and began to meditate. The pond was wide, and provided a great calm and serene atmosphere as the wind flowed against the tree line around the pond. Hao Ren was sitting on the sand, and the air was humid with his back sensing the heat from the fire, and a subtle breeze brushed against him from time to time.
This was the so called harmony of the four elements. Hao Ren sat in meditation and began to sense the spiritual energy. He found that it was ten times easier to cultivate in the wild then in the closed room. After the spiritual energy stuck to his skin, he tried to move them in different areas.
He tried this because the colored particles were scattered all over his body like a mix of glitter. The segregation was necessary to sense the effect and the properties of the element. Hours passed and finally, just a little before the evening, Hao Ren managed to move the particles in different parts.
The concentration of elements increased and they began to effect his internal function. Hao Ren sensed that the area where the green earth element was, his bones seemed to have gained a lot of weight and his muscles were strong too.
The blood in the area where the fire energy was concentrated seemed to have a lot of vigor and vitality. The water element boosted his metabolism and and the wind gave him a sense of lightness. He thought about the essence of the spiritual energy and entered deep cultivation state.
Two days passed in a blink before Hao Ren woke up, he finally was able to absorb the spiritual energy and condense it into a drill bit inside his Dantian. Although it was small, he could sense it grinding against his Dantian entrance as soon as he started chanting the mantra.
The drill bit was also responsible for attracting more spiritual energy from the outside world. Hao Ren\'s pores were open and the spiritual energy was inhaled through them as long as he chanted the mantra. However, as soon as the mantra stopped the pores would close to prevent from any leakage.

Hao Ren woke up due to hunger because even though he was sitting on the ground in meditation, he was using his brain and consuming a lot of energy. Two days was his limit and now that the sun was about to set, it was time for him to hunt.
