Chapter 148: The Method of Stealing Heaven's Secrets

Night fell, and the lights went out.

The dormitory was pitch black, with only a faint moonlight filtering through the window.

Everything around was immersed in the hazy night.

Fang Cheng sat quietly with his eyes closed, his breathing slow and long.

Along with this sense of peace and loneliness, his thoughts seemed to drift in the darkness.

Suddenly, voices and laughter drifted from next door, breaking the contemplative silence.

Fang Cheng opened his bright, piercing eyes and muttered to himself,

"It's still not working..."

He then looked down at the phone beside him.

The display showed it was only 7:06.

In other words, this session of Meditation had only lasted a little over half an hour.

At this thought, Fang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head secretly. He swung his legs out of bed and walked over to the window.

The fog outside was thick, seeming even denser than a few days ago.

The shadows of the surrounding trees loomed in the thick fog, as if the entire Training Camp base had entered a mysterious dreamland.

The small town at the foot of the mountain and the distant sea were completely integrated with the grayish-white fog, rendering them totally invisible.

Fang Cheng stood in front of the window, gazing at the scenery for a while.

After relaxing his mind, he sat cross-legged on the bed again, preparing to perform Meditation once more.

After Pan Wendi left, the room became empty.

Although living alone was a bit lonely, it also had great benefits.

He could Move around freely, making things much more convenient.

Today, after finishing the Meditation class and having dinner, Fang Cheng immediately returned to his dormitory.

First, he practiced Shadow Boxing for a while to increase his experience in several combat skills.

Next, he attempted to achieve a new Breakthrough in the long-awaited Domain of "Qigong".

Since coming to Yongan Island to participate in the Meditation tour, his two skills of "Meditation" and "Breathing Technique" had been successfully unlocked one after another, and his Stance Training had also been promoted to the expert level.

Fang Cheng therefore wondered if he could use this momentum to flexibly apply these three skills and truly master Qigong.

According to Ma Jianguo, Qigong mainly includes Stance Training, Breathing Technique, Visualization Technique, and some combat techniques suitable for exerting power.

Combat techniques are just fighting styles, which are minor details with no rigid Moves.

Moreover, Fang Cheng was highly accomplished in this area, pridefully considering himself no weaker than the vast majority of combat athletes and martial arts Great Masters.

As for the Visualization Technique, it is essentially a type of Meditation, and there is no great difference between the two.

Therefore, Fang Cheng had now basically mastered the prerequisites for entering the gateway of Qigong.

This was indeed the case.

Not only had he learned how to resist external pressure through the Breathing Technique to protect his organs from harm and improve internal breathing efficiency,

but the thread of heat in his abdomen was also gradually growing, his sense of Qi was starting to become clear, and it could even be used to accelerate the recovery speed of muscle fatigue.

It could be said that in the Domain of Qigong, Fang Cheng had already caught a glimpse of the threshold and possessed some basic skills.

However, this was far from enough!

Because besides pursuing the effects of health preservation, regulation, and life extension, Qigong pays more attention to developing human potential and improving combat-level capabilities.

This was precisely the martial arts philosophy that Ma Jianguo adhered to.

Using health preservation methods in coordination with training methods to continuously break through the limits of human life, achieving a mutual transformation of body and spirit, thereby making one strong enough to deal with those "monsters" with special abilities.

Through the experience gained in practical practice, Fang Cheng figured out a seemingly feasible method.

Sitting in Meditation is using one's intent to actively regulate physical and mental states, making improvements from the mental level to physiological functions.

And the Breathing Technique, known as the Art of Daoyin by ancient doctors and practitioners, is the power source of Qigong.

In that case, the two could be completely combined.

What Fang Cheng planned to do was to run the Breathing Technique while practicing Meditation, guiding the thread of heat in his abdomen to reach any designated position at will.

After all, the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound is a method of full-body resonance, making it difficult to target specific parts.

If all the heat in the abdomen could be guided to a certain organ, muscle, or bone location, the resulting effect would definitely be much more significant.

Not to mention recreating the movie scenes of using Internal Skill for healing.

After training to the proficient Realm, perhaps he could even break out of the Meditation state and use this method in battle.

For example, attaching "Qi" to palms and weapons to achieve an effect similar to "Blade Storm".

However, while the ideal was beautiful, reality was harsh.

Fang Cheng tried twice, and both times he failed on the verge of success.

When he first started guiding it, the heat lingering at the bottom of his abdomen did indeed twitch slightly, just like when performing the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound.

Then, following the movement of his intent, it showed signs of spreading outward.

But as soon as it left that tiny area deep within his abdomen, it was instantly shackled.

Not a single mistake, first-release content, all in one look!

Like a small boat stuck deep in the mud, it could not Move unimpeded as before.

This process of stalemate would continuously feed back to his consciousness.

This caused Fang Cheng's intent to waver, making it difficult to maintain a state of tranquility.

At the same time, because of this subtle wavering, the heat vibrated even more violently, dispersing without a trace in an instant.

As he was thinking, another burst of noise came from the hallway, and someone passed by the door talking and laughing.

Ever since those tourists from the town checked into the Training Camp, this building, which had always been quiet, had become quite lively.

Fang Cheng felt that the reason for his failure was not that the environment was not quiet enough.

It was more because the thread of heat in his abdomen was too weak, and his sense of Qi was still not clear enough.

To solve this problem, it was nothing more than diligent practice combined with dietary supplements.

Especially the importance of dietary supplements, which definitely ranked first.

According to Ma Jianguo, there is a stream of Innate Origin Qi inside the human body, which can also be called life energy.

This is an inborn talent. Everyone's Physique is different, and the amount they possess also varies.

Furthermore, as one ages, it gradually decreases until it is completely consumed, which is when life ends.

The practice of Qigong is essentially about cultivating this stream of Innate Origin Qi and trying to reverse this process as much as possible.

Through Acquired dietary supplements and Cultivation methods, part of the ingested food energy is converted into Innate life energy.

However, as living beings in nature, there must be an upper limit to the life energy that humans can store.

Relatively speaking, the healthier a person's Physique and the higher their physical strength, the more energy they can store.

Fang Cheng's Physique was now as high as 36 points, but the life energy he possessed could not match it.

It was equivalent to a very large container where the stored contents only occupied a small portion, looking quite empty.

This situation was actually quite normal.

After all, Fang Cheng had raised his Physique from less than 10 points of an ordinary person to over 30 points in just two months, a progress that could be described as rapid.

Trying to replenish Innate Origin Qi through food in such a short period of time was obviously unlikely.

Moreover, there seemed to be no such things as Heaven And Earth Treasures or miraculous elixirs in this world.

Otherwise, those Great Masters of the Martial Arts Research Association would not just use Qigong to perform acrobatics and magic tricks.

Fang Cheng had once asked Old Master Ma.

With this step-by-step practice, would he also have to wait until he was in his tens of years before he could hope to enter the gateway and master Qigong?

In that case, besides being able to preserve health and prolong life, it would have no practical combat significance, let alone the ability to fight against those monsters.

Old Master Ma, however, smiled mysteriously and gave him a legendary method.

It was Stealing Heaven's Secrets!
