Shanshan observed the path of the tea energy in her body, as if she had discovered a secret passage in the darkness. The tea energy that had originally seemed chaotic in her body now clearly showed a winding vein, like a mysterious map.

She was surprised to discover that when the tea energy was connected to the meridians, it flowed smoothly, like a mountain spring gurgling along a specific ravine. However, the formulas for the Tea Source Heart Method seemed flawed, as each formula corresponded to a specific meridian in the body. Even after reciting all the formulas, she was unable to achieve the desired effect by flowing the tea energy through that newly formed meridian.

As a result, the tea energy that was originally able to circulate became a single flow, and naturally could not be upgraded any further.

Thinking of this, Shanshan understood that without her inner cultivation method, she would never be able to continue upgrading. This was something she had known before, so she did not feel any ripples in her heart.

Instead, the opening of the third eye is caused by the tea energy in the body constantly gathering towards the forehead.

In a flash, Shanshan understood that closing the Third Eye wasn't about reversing the flow, but about stopping the flow. But until now, Shanshan had only been absorbing and releasing the tea energy. He had no control over the specific flow of the tea energy within his body.

Suddenly, she had an idea and thought of some methods of harmonizing qi that she had learned in the Xuanshu Notes. Although these methods were not exactly the same as her tea qi cultivation, perhaps she could learn from the principles.

Also because she was too proficient in the Chayuan Heart Method, she had been practicing the entire method directly from the beginning and had never studied it word by word.

So, Shanshan calmed down and studied it word by word. Combining it with the contents of the Xuanshu Notes, Shanshan was surprised to find that every word in the Chayuan Heart Method was not nonsense.

Shanshan was absorbed in studying the essence of tea, her fingers gently caressing the familiar yet unfamiliar characters. Each stroke seemed to hold endless mysteries. She discovered that each character corresponded to a unique way to guide the flow of qi. The combination of different characters was like playing a complex and exquisite melody, directing the flow of tea qi through the body.

During her in-depth research, Na Shanshan discovered that the direction of the Qi in one of the mantras was subtly related to the path of the Tea Qi that converged at her inner yintang (Yintang) center, where her Third Eye was opening. She speculated that perhaps adjusting the Qi in this mantra could stop the flow of Tea Qi and thus close the Third Eye.

Shanshan took a deep breath, and with some trepidation, began to attempt to direct the tea energy according to her own deductions. She concentrated, carefully adjusting her breath, so that the tea energy would no longer surge toward her brow center as before. At first, the tea energy, like a stubborn calf, refused to obey her command and continued to rush toward her brow center. But Shanshan did not give up, constantly adjusting the rhythm of her chanting and the intensity of her breath control.

Finally, after many attempts, the flow of tea energy began to shift. The energy that had originally rushed toward the center of the forehead gradually weakened, like a diverted stream, slowly shifting to other meridians. As the flow of tea energy ceased, Shanshan felt only the burning sensation at the center of the forehead slowly subside, and the strange visions before her eyes gradually blurred until they disappeared completely.

"Success!" Shanshan excitedly opened her eyes, sparkling with joy. She looked around again and found that the world had returned to its former state. The familiar and peaceful feeling made her feel very relieved.

"Xianyun, Xiaojing, I successfully closed my third eye!" Shanshan shouted excitedly, his voice full of pride.

Xianyun floated over from the side with a rare smile on her face: "Shanshan, you are truly amazing! In such a short time, you not only discovered the secret of the Tea Source Heart Method, but also successfully closed the Heavenly Eye."

The Space-Time Mirror also flashed with joy: "Master, you are amazing! This exploration must have given you a deeper understanding of your own cultivation."

Shanshan smiled and nodded, her heart filled with emotion. Although this unexpected opening of her third eye had frightened her, it had also given her a new perspective on her cultivation. She knew full well that the Tea Source Heart Method still held many unknown mysteries waiting to be discovered.

"But this is just the beginning," said the gleaming eyes firmly.

Shanshan felt as if the clouds had cleared and the sun had broken through, and her understanding of her cultivation had made a qualitative leap. She delved deeper into the Chayuan Heart Method, word for word, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that she had previously possessed an unimaginable degree of autonomy in practicing the method, even breaking through the established limitations of the method.

Take the matter of opening the third eye for example. In her previous experience, she was completely unconscious and just secretly thinking about guiding the tea energy to gather at the center of her eyebrows. As a result, she actually succeeded in opening the third eye.

This seemingly accidental action actually concealed her powerful potential for control over her own aura. However, when she truly tried to deliberately control this tea energy, achieving precise operations such as closing her third eye, she found it difficult to break free from the constraints of her mind and could not achieve smooth control of the tea energy simply through her thoughts.

This feeling is as wonderful as the way the butcher butchers butcher an ox. After mastering the anatomy of the ox, the butcher can butcher the ox with ease, each cut being precise and seemingly casual yet just right.

Shanshan's control over the tea energy also gradually showed a similar trend. He could accomplish some seemingly difficult operations inadvertently, but once he tried to do it deliberately, he would fall into the limitations of relying on his mental method.

This shows that her understanding and application of tea energy is on the verge of a critical breakthrough. Although she has not yet fully mastered the ability to control tea energy at will, she has already seen the dawn of this possibility.

She realized that in order to truly freely control the tea aroma, she must further deepen her perception and understanding of her own aroma, and cannot simply rely on fixed mental formulas.

Just like how the butcher Ding butchered an ox, he did not rely on rote memorization of routines, but had a clear understanding of the body structure of the ox, achieving a state of unity of mind and hand.

Shanshan also needs to establish a closer and purer connection between his thoughts and the tea energy through constant exploration and practice, get rid of the formal dependence on the mind method, and thus achieve precise and free control of the tea energy.

At this moment, Shanshan felt that she had a new understanding of the Heart Method. She would study it carefully and seriously when she had time in the future.

She felt that if she wanted to break free from the constraints of the mind method, she had to start from the mind method itself, thus transcending the mind method and achieving a state of unity of mind and spirit. She could control the tea energy even without the mind method.

Shanshan smiled at them, feeling a sense of accomplishment. But she knew this was just the beginning. After solving the problem of the Third Eye, there was something even more important waiting for her—finding the source of An Qingjie's negative energy and helping him escape his predicament.

She left the space and returned to the car. The sky outside the window was already turning pale, signaling the dawn of a new day. Shanshan gazed at the scenery, her heart filled with hope. She knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, she had the courage to face them.

When Jiang Ningming woke up and returned to the car, he noticed that Shanshan seemed a little different. There was a new confidence and determination in her eyes, as if she had undergone a transformation overnight.

"What's wrong with you? You seem like a different person." Jiang Ningming asked curiously.

That Shanshan smiled slightly and said, "Nothing, just solving some minor problems. Let's go to Xiang Province."

Although Jiang Ningming was puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions. He started the car, slowly drove out of the service area, and sped towards Hunan Province.
