After getting the spiritual fruit, Xi Chen jumped down from the tree.
Even after leaving the tree, the fruit did not lost its essence and the light.
Xi Chen did not take it immediately. He sat down under the tree, in a lotus position, and took a deep breath to clear his mind from all distracting thoughts.
Then he called out the panel.

The points behind the Realm and the cultivation technique was already full.
The moment he breakthrough to a new Realm, he will be able to evolve both of them.
Xi Chen stayed in the same sitting position for about 20 minutes, clearing his unnecessary thoughts and anxiousness out of him.
After his meditation, he opened his eyes and looked at the fruit in his hand. Then he took a bite.
Pure earth and heaven essence poured into his mouth. Warm feelings spread over his whole body.
After some times, the feeling of essence leaking his body appeared on Xi Chen's mind. And he knew it was not a feeling, it was the reality. If he did not quickly refine it, it will be over soon.
So he quickly ate the spiritual fruit and circulate the cultivation technique.
He guided the energy around his dantian like the condition for breakthrough to Acquired Qi Realm stated.
When he finished gathering the round of energy around his dantian, Xi Chen started another second round of guiding and gathering energy.
The process of guiding and gathering of energy took him more than 9 hours.
After he done that, Xi Chen took a sigh of relief. He did not wasted the energy and absorbed more than 80 percent of the essence from the spiritual fruit.
But he knew, the final and last step for breakthrough was not over yet.
After the first process, he felt like his body was full of energy. He felt like he needed to release it.
Seeing that, Xi Chen knew he completed the first process smoothly.
Now, all he had to do was the final step.
Xi Chen took a moment of silence and gathered all his energy. Then he forced the energies and crashed at the barrier.
Bam....
The subconscious barrier did not even budge a little. Xi Chen felt a tingling on his lower abdomen.
He did not stop the crashing of energies to the barrier.
The process goes for more than 2 hours. But the barrier did not show any sign of breaking. Not a single was seen on it.
But Xi Chen did not feel any disappointment. He was not discouraged. He kept on repeating the same process over and over again.
That goes for hours.
Xi Chen whole body was soak in sweat. He was also feeling pain all over his body, every time he crashed against the barrier.
Finally after repeating the same process over and over for more than 10 hours,
Crack....
Xi Chen saw a little bit of crack appearing on the barrier. At the same time, he also felt more pain than before.
But he did stop there. He knew the time was near. And if he stopped there, he would not get another chance to reach Acquired Qi Realm in the near future. Unless, he get the help of higher grade spiritual treasures. Maybe more than one.
So, he kept on going.
Bam....Bam.....Bam.....
Finally, after smashing 10 more times at the same site of the crack, Xi Chen broke the barrier into pieces. Then the whole energies went through and started filling the space beyond the barrier.
Before Xi Chen could celebrate his breakthrough process, he felt too much pain over his body. It kept spreading to his whole body. He gritted his teeth hardly. He almost passed out from the pain, but he knew he could not or else he would become a crippled.
After more than what felt like a year, the pain finally goes away. Then tingling feelings like wound healing spread out.
The whole process of breakthrough lasted about a whole day.
Xi Chen finally let out a smile.
Then he laughed out loudly like a mad man.
He laid on the ground with a relaxed. All the tension and pressure disappeared from his body and mind as he laid with his back.
(After he ate the fruit, the light inside the cave did not go dark. Some sunlight passed through the top of the cave and lighted the cave.)
He kicked his feet unward and punched his hand upward like a satisfied child.
Then he laid back on the ground relaxed.
At that moment, Xi Bing and Xi Xuan came running inside the cave. Seeing Xi Chen laying on the ground, the thought something might have happened to him.
So they called out anxiously. "Big Brother...a-are you ok? Big Brother...."
Hearing the anxious voice, Xi Chen sat up. He spoke with an annoyed tone. "Stop acting like a baby. Losing your calmness."
Both the younger siblings was instantly relieved.
"We heard a loud voice. And it looked like you were screaming. So we thought you might be injured. And you were also laying on the ground." Xi Bing spoke up.
"But losing your calmness will not help you save me." Xi Chen lectured them. But seeing their concerns for him, he soften his one and smiled. "But I appreciate your concerns. Now, let's head home."
Xi Chen stood up. And he puts his arm around the two boys and walked with them arm to arm towards the exit of the cave.
After they left the tunnel, nothing dramatic scenes happened at all.
No wild beast guarding the treasure showed up or anything.
After they get their belongs and took a bathe, the left the wilderness and went towards their home.
