Chapter 119 – Urging Qi to Move Through Blood Channels
At the very least, Wei Xiao Bei did not have that kind of feeling right now. Even if in the future, he felt like being in a relationship, it would probably just be a physiological demand.
As a man whose willpower was about to reach 13 points, he was able to suppress these kind of simple desires.
Following Wei Xiao Bei’s departure, the two won suddenly lost interest in continuing their chat. They looked at each other in the eyes, not knowing what kind of thoughts were going in the mind of the other party. Afterwards, they returned to their room without talking.
Wei Xiao Bei anwhile, did not know that a misunderstanding was born between the two won. After coming out of the building, he hailed a cab and rode to the dojo.
Just as he was entering the dojo, Wei Xiao Bei happened to bump into Cheng Si Si, who was preparing to leave.
“Senior apprentice sister,” Wei Xiao Bei spoke with a smile.
“Junior apprentice brother? Where have you been? Why weren’t you answering the phone? I even thought that you had been involved in human trafficking? You worried us to death!”
As Cheng Si Si opened her mouth, her grumbling abruptly ca out, making Wei Xiao Bei smile in embarrassnt. It took a while before Cheng Si Si was pacified.
When he entered the dojo, Wei Xiao Bei thought that his master and apprentice brothers would investigate him like Cheng Si Si. In the end, after seeing him, his master only nodded his head and did not inquire further. On the other hand, his big senior apprentice brother and third apprentice brother were only worried about his body. After seeing that nothing was wrong with Wei Xiao Bei, they did not bother him anymore.
After all, Wei Xiao Bei was already an adult. As long as nothing happened to him, his master and apprentice brothers would not investigate his personal matters any further.
After returning to his own room, Wei Xiao Bei charged his phone and looked at the ti. Five days had actually already passed. It was no wonder why Cheng Si Si was that worried.
At four in the early morning of the next day, Wei Xiao Bei woke up, left the room, and directly headed towards the practice grounds.
There were no people at this ti in the practice ground. Even his big senior apprentice brother, who normally woke up the earliest, could not be seen.
This though, was natural since his big senior apprentice brother only wakes up 30 minutes after 6.
Wei Xiao Bei chose a strong tree and did a few breathing exercises. He stood straight, placed his hands on his waist, widened his legs parallel to his shoulders, straightened his back and pushed out his chest. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply as he focused on his Dantian. He threw out all distracting thoughts, inhaled and exhaled to cleanse his body and rid himself of impurities.
After a few minutes, his mind entered a peaceful state. The sleepiness from waking up was disappearing without a trace.
Wei Xiao Bei changed his stance to a Qigong stance. His thoughts sunk deep within himself, urging his Qi to slowly move inside his Dantian.
Following the circulation of the Qi, the uncontrollable Qi was beginning to be absorbed by the Qi inside his Dantian. Perhaps because of the gap between the outside and the inside of his Dantian, the uncontrollable Qi began flowing toward his Dantian. In the end, it had collected in the middle of his Dantian.
This cycle moved step by step.
At this point in ti, Wei Xiao Bei had already rid himself of all outside distractions.
Following the passage of ti, his Qi continued to expand.
In the end, Wei Xiao Bei’s spirit was quite spent, but his Qi could not be described as a simple thread anymore.
Under his efforts, his Qi had already occupied half of his Dantian.
The ti Wei Xiao Bei cultivated his Qi ca to an end as he resisted the dizziness coming from his mind. He returned back to his room while coincidentally eting his big senior apprentice brother, who had just woken up, along the way.
Seeing that Wei Xiao Bei was rocking from side to side, his big senior apprentice brother worriedly said a few words. After hearing that it was caused by excessive Qi cultivation, his opened mouth almost made Wei Xiao Bei laugh.
The amount of ti his big senior apprentice brother had been following his master was very long. From that ti until now, it was almost 20 years. As a result, he was already at the realm of negative jing, so he was not a stranger to cultivating Qi. However, Wei Xiao Bei had only been there for 3 months, yet he had already reached the state negative jing and had started to cultivate Qi. This had truly shocked him.
This gave his big senior apprentice brother the feeling of a new student he had just began instructing, entering college without going through elentary.
Naturally, his big senior apprentice brother had already developed a slight immunity against Wei Xiao Bei’s surprises. After telling Wei Xiao Bei to rest well, he began to train under a tree.
Wei Xiao Bei fell down onto his bed as soon as he returned to his room and fell asleep in an instant. His master and Cheng Si Si had also checked on him during this period of ti.
When his master ca in, he tried to feel his pulse. After seeing that everything was in order and the pulse was vigorous, he left relieved.
As for the reason why Cheng Si Si ca in, it was to call Wei Xiao Bei for breakfast. However, after seeing that Wei Xiao Bei was unwakeable, she could only leave angrily.
Wei Xiao Bei slept peacefully, and only woke up when it was ti for lunch.
In an instant, Wei Xiao Bei had slept for more than five hours. Although his temples were aching after he woke up, his spirit consumption had made up for this inconvenience.
After taking a look at his Dantian, he noticed that the first ti he trained in reality exceed the ti he trained in The Dust World by more than a few tis. This made him quite happy. If it was not because it was lunch ti, he would have began to train a bit more.
After eating lunch, Wei Xiao Bei found out that Cheng Si Si’s freshn military training had ended, and that school had officially begun. Cheng Si Si would return every Friday afternoon to the dojo, and go back to school on the Sunday afternoon.
Cheng Si Si, compared to most girls nowadays, was a perfect virtuous woman. Once she returned to the dojo, she imdiately washed the master’s and apprentice brother’s clothes. Moreover, she even cooked the als.
The only weakness was that her mouth was unforgiving. Wei Xiao Bei, himself, had already experienced this countless tis.
After seeing their difficulty of cooking als when she left for college, she hurriedly went out after lunch to go to the employnt center to find a cook for them.
His master followed convention and boiled tea. He sat in front of the chessboard to analyze the desperate situation. His big senior apprentice brother went for a nap, and as for Wei Xiao Bei, he once again returned to the practice grounds.
It was already past the Autumn Equinox. Compared to the sumr, the climate at this ti was pleasantly cool. The small period of ti after the Autumn Equinox was one of the most comfortable tis of the year.
Wei Xiao Bei felt extrely comfortable as the cool breeze softly blew past his body. It did not make him drowsy or cold at all.
Since he had just finished eating lunch, he sat down in a lotus position in front of the tree and practiced breathing techniques.
Breathing techniques did not put any importance into posture. You could stand, sit, or lie down. So Guo Shu experts even trained while they were asleep.
This kind technique was used to stimulate internal organs and train them. It also increased the amount of Qi flowing inside his body.
After half an hour, Wei Xiao Bei felt that the feeling of fullness had disappeared. He slowly stood up and began to train again by sinking his thoughts into his Dantian.
Perhaps because his Bajiquan had already reached pretty much perfection, he felt that his Qi was much more abundant compared to how much his master had described it was during the initial stages of negative jing.
The Qi in his Dantian began to circulate as he honed in on it and began to absorb the uncontrollable Qi, expanding again.
After half an hour, the Qi had fully occupied his Dantian. The uncontrollable Qi outside could no longer easily enter his Dantian anymore.
Wei Xiao Bei recalled the things his master had told him about cultivating Qi. After recalling this, he knew that the next step was to urge his Qi to move through his blood channels.
This was one of Guo Shu’s traditional training techniques.
When the Qi inside the Dantian was full, it needed to be moved all throughout the body using the 12 blood channels.
The so called ‘12 blood channels’ referred to the three on each hand and the three on each foot.
Urging the Qi to move through the blood channels would stimulate the blood, link up the internal organs, expand the blood channels, clean the internal organs, and also strengthen the muscles, bones, skin, blood, etc.
As for the opening of governor and conception vessels described in various Wuxia novels, it was in fact referring to the Qi moving through the acupuncture points. This was one step after urging the Qi to move through the blood channels.
The process of urging the Qi to move through the blood channels must reach a certain level before being able to move it through acupuncture points.
The main purpose of training the acupuncture points was to gain the 8 extra ridians.
These 8 ridians were different from the 12 channels. It not only affected the internal organs, but it also affected the relationship between internal and external organs. In the past, these things were originally called extra channels due to their limited knowledge of Chinese traditional dicine. It was only when powerful Quo Shu experts developed them did everyone find out their use.
The 12 channels was the place where blood and Qi normally moved. It was a natural pathway that even normal people have, albeit it may be a little narrower.
However, the 8 extra ridians were naturally blocked ever since birth.
Operating these 8 ridians would require using Qi to forcefully open them
After opening them, these 8 ridians could link up with the 12 blood channels and allow a finer adjustnt of accumulated Qi and blood.
In short, opening the 8 ridians would make the blood channels stronger and also strengthen Qi!
As for how this actually happened, Wei Xiao Bei had not yet reached this stage so everything he knew about it had only ca from his master.
Just from observing his master when he would occasionally demonstrate his skill, Wei Xiao Bei imagined that the benefits of opening the 8 ridians was not small.
It must be known that his master did not have a status panel, but his master was able to play around with Wei Xiao Bei.
Urging the Qi to move around the blood channel was done by circulating Qi in them. Opening the ridians, on the other hand, would require him to use Qi to open the acupuncture points. Although the processes were similar, they were also different.
As his thoughts continued to run, Wei Xiao Bei moved his Qi all over his body.
