46: Chapter 45 Qi Body Source Flow

Daoist Changsheng: "Yes, I've already developed Qi sensation. Now I'm practicing the meridian guidance of the Eight Brocades. This requires a certain understanding of practicing Qi, so I wanted to find some materials on this."

This was Li Changsheng's nickname.

Dream Is After All A Dream: "Really? You have Qi sensation?"

Snail Asleep: "I only went offline for a few days, what happened?"

Lazy Glutton: "I, Ma Baofang, am the first to disagree; even a Visible Power master cannot beat my whip technique!"

Xiaoguang: "What's Qi sensation? Mastering Qi sensation is just the beginning. However, this meridian guidance seems to be the hardest part of the Eight Brocades; I've never seen anyone succeed at it."

Batu Who Likes Horn Flowers: "To be fair, the beginning of the Eight Brocades is easy, but it gets harder as you go. I'm only at the stage of coordinating it with breathing. Buddy, you're already researching meridian guidance? Could it be that you've reached the fourth layer?"

Looking at these comments, Li Changsheng nodded. From this, it was clear that many of the guys on the Tieba forum were practitioners, or at least experts.

Daoist Changsheng: "@Coiled Dragon, are you there?"

Coiled Dragon: "Buddy, what's up?"

Meanwhile, in a rental room, Coiled Dragon, wearing glasses, felt a bit nervous.

"This idiot isn't going to expose me in public, right?"

He felt somewhat anxious; after all, selling resources across various Tieba forums was his source of income.

He decided that if this Daoist Changsheng accused him of being a scammer, he would start flaming, claiming that he simply lacked talent and couldn't blame the materials.

Flaming was his specialty.

He had already silently placed his hands on the keyboard; as soon as the other party started, he would immediately display his "five-flames-per-second" operation.

Daoist Changsheng: "Buddy, your resources from last time were excellent. They really resonated with me. Now, my Crushing Fist combat application has achieved minor success, and I can fully exert Integrated Force!"

Uh...

Coiled Dragon was stunned, then scratched his head and quickly typed: "Really? Let me see your current results."

Seeing this, Li Changsheng did not hesitate. He used his phone to record while he threw a punch at a sandbag using Integrated Force.

He converted it into a GIF and sent it directly to the post.

Daoist Changsheng: "It's like this. I feel the results are significant. Look at the GIF."

Dream Is After All A Dream: "Holy crap!"

Xiaoguang: "Holy crap!"

Guo Huai Who Loves Milk: "Damn, I always thought this kid Coiled Dragon was just selling discs, but it turns out his goods are the real deal!"

Xiaoguang: "Yeah, give me a copy of that material too, Coiled Dragon. I want to become a Visible Power master too!"

For a moment, the post was filled with shock. Damn, this actually works?

As someone who had been hanging around various forums and Tieba for years, Coiled Dragon naturally had many alt accounts.

But because of this, his reputation wasn't great; basically everyone in this Tieba knew this guy was a resource reseller.

It turned out he wasn't selling fake goods; he was a True God.

At this moment, in the rental room, Coiled Dragon was also looking at the post, somewhat dumbfounded.

"Could this material really train someone to reach this so-called Visible Power?"

After thinking about it, Coiled Dragon suppressed his suspicion and focused on business first.

Coiled Dragon: "Alright then, buddy, what kind of materials do you want this time?"

Daoist Changsheng: "Practicing Qi, knowledge related to Qi. It would be best if you had books that point directly to the core of practicing Qi."

Coiled Dragon: "Simple. Same old rules, 50 on WeChat."

Seeing this comment from Coiled Dragon, Li Changsheng was a bit shocked.

"Who exactly is this Coiled Dragon? Could he be some reclusive expert? He even has methods that point directly to the core of practicing Qi?"

Li Changsheng couldn't help but be surprised. On one hand, Zhang Youdao seemed to know nothing about this; on the other hand, Coiled Dragon answered too decisively and easily, as if practicing Qi was not a big deal at all.

Never mind practicing Qi; judging by the speed and tone of his reply, it seemed that if he asked for immortal Cultivation Techniques, he could probably get him a set too.

"A great hermit living in the city. It seems I should keep a low profile in this forum from now on."

Li Changsheng sighed with emotion. Without hesitation, he transferred the fifty.

About a minute later, a cloud drive link was sent over.

Upon opening the link, he saw it was another document, but it also included some video files.

"Source of Qi?"

When he saw the name of the document, Li Changsheng was a bit stunned. Of course, he knew the book Source of Qi.

It was written by Daoist Master Zhang Zhishun, a compilation of classic chapters from the Daoist Canon and other original Daoist texts, as well as a collection from Daoist Master Zhang Zhishun's lifelong travels and visits.

Elder Zhang had occasionally mentioned this book to Li Changsheng, telling him to read it when he had time. Li Changsheng had read it, but he hadn't understood it.

He had bought the original version of Source of Qi, and the physical book was right there beside him.

"This thing is the core of practicing Qi?"

Li Changsheng frowned, his first instinct being skepticism.

Because he had read a few pages before, and it was all mysterious and esoteric Daoist classics. This thing had absolutely nothing to do with practicing anything, and it seemed like it hadn't even mentioned Qi.

"However, Brother Coiled Dragon is still very trustworthy. Perhaps he is right; there really are tricks to practicing Qi in here. Maybe I should study it seriously."

Recalling the help the materials Coiled Dragon sent last time had given him, Li Changsheng felt he should trust him this once.

Calming his patience, Li Changsheng clicked on the document and began to read, comparing the original text with the document.

I have to say, I don't know where this Coiled Dragon gets his resources from; it was actually a vernacular version.

You know, the main reason Li Changsheng couldn't read the original version was because of the mysterious and esoteric Daoist discourse; he had to ponder every sentence for a long time just to get a vague understanding.

After reading for a full hour, Li Changsheng couldn't help but rub his swollen eyes.

"No wonder I didn't gain anything from reading it before; it turns out the real core is in the Internal Alchemy Meditation chapter at the end of the first part."

Li Changsheng couldn't help but exclaim that Brother Coiled Dragon really had real skills, and he admired this Daoist Master Zhang Zhishun even more.

The so-called Internal Alchemy is actually a Daoist term that refers to the entire human body. Daoists compare the human body to Internal Alchemy, which can also be called a Cauldron.

It compares the meridians circulating within the human body to the channels for Internal Alchemy cultivation. Under the control of mental consciousness, using the Qi within the body to propel, the essence and Qi secreted by the human body are circulated through the whole body, condensing the essence, Qi, and spirit into a "Sacred Fetus" or "Medicinal Pill."

"The principle of Internal Alchemy Meditation is closely related to the Eight Brocades. The breathing and Qi sensation of the Eight Brocades helped me initially cross the stage of perceiving Qi."

And using intention to guide Qi, and using Qi to guide the body, allowed me to master the method of controlling Qi, and what I need to learn now is just its circulation route.

Li Changsheng had an epiphany, and his face couldn't help but beam with a smile.

Worth it! Totally worth it!

Moreover, Brother Coiled Dragon's materials also came with detailed diagrams of human meridian circulation, and were annotated with modern medical explanations in vernacular language.

"But it's still not enough. Elder Zhang said that practicing Qi involving human meridians must be guided by a specialist, or one must watch specific videos of others practicing."

Li Changsheng didn't dare to be careless about this.

You must know that practicing Qi cannot be done haphazardly. If you practice incorrectly, at best you will feel a sinking or swelling sensation in your internal organs; at worst, you could end up paralyzed on one side or all over.

(Note: Do not attempt without guidance. Additionally, Internal Alchemy techniques like Internal Alchemy Meditation are effective. For details, you can check online, especially the other cultivation methods of Daoist Master Zhang Zhishun. Two of them are easier to get started with, but you must practice according to the videos; you should be able to find demonstration videos of Daoist Master Zhang Zhishun online.)
