Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 577 Opening the Dantian

night.

After completing his daily meditation practice, Yaluo prepared to take the first step of the Eight Extremes Method—opening up the dantian—according to the external training plan of the Eight Extremes Method.

The internal energy cultivation method of Bajiquan involves using consciousness to directly control energy, allowing it to flow according to needs.

External martial arts, on the other hand, use physical movements to indirectly affect the flow of energy within the body.

In fact, both of these types of energy are present in Yaro's body.

Aro possesses magical powers; energy that can be directly controlled with consciousness.

The energy that needs to be indirectly affected by actions, and the life force left over from consuming magical plants in Yaro's body—if that's not enough, the warehouse also has a large number of magical plants.

The reason why Yaro hadn't opened his dantian before was because he hadn't decided which kind of energy to use to open it, but the swordplay he conceived during the day finally gave him a solution.

—With the power of life!
The effect of vitality on the body is additive, similar to influencing growth; even if there are problems, they can be corrected at any time.

Magic's effect on vitality is subtractive, meaning it has a destructive effect. Like getting your ears pierced or getting a tattoo, it's not only difficult to repair, but even if you manage to repair it, it may leave residual marks, making it hard to fully restore it to its original state.

In terms of self-cultivation, it is very important to leave room for maneuver, because Yaro does not know when he will be able to come up with a better solution.

Even if it's just to develop a CPU, it's worth making this decision.

The Bajiquan method's external martial arts technique for opening the dantian is quite peculiar; it's actually just a horse stance!
This action looks simple, but it involves a lot of details.

For example, your feet should be shoulder-width apart, your toes slightly turned out, your knees should point in the same direction as your toes, your thighs should be parallel to the ground when you squat, and your back should be straight...

In addition to physical requirements, there are also requirements for awareness.

Because consciousness can also affect the body.

For example, thinking about how delicious food might affect one's stomach, or how beautiful women might affect...

If this leads to different emotions, it will not only affect the endocrine system, but also, according to the deduction process of 'True Martial Arts Intent', it will also affect the involuntary muscles in the body.

Furthermore, even without these emotions, focusing attention on other parts of the body is not effective.

When attention is focused on other parts of the body, it can cause over-excitation of that part, accelerate local blood circulation, and increase the sensitivity of that part. Even if you intentionally relax your voluntary muscles and prevent them from moving, your involuntary muscles will still aggravate the reflex.

So, in general, it's about not thinking about anything and just sitting in a horse stance!
If all else fails, you can focus your attention on the dantian, since the ultimate goal is to channel energy into the dantian and accelerate blood circulation there, which can actually improve the efficiency of energy inflow.

"Perhaps this is what they meant by 'holding onto the original essence and guarding the oneness' in my previous life?"

A fleeting thought crossed Yaro's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

His 'memory' was very familiar with this process, but his consciousness and body were completely unfamiliar with it.

Exercise is never a comfortable experience, especially when you step out of your comfort zone and exercise in a new way.

The correct posture will only allow life force to enter the dantian more smoothly and will only reduce the possibility of post-exercise side effects.

However, it will not alleviate the soreness of stretching or the strain on the mind.

In particular, while cultivating one's consciousness, one must not have any distracting thoughts and must concentrate on feeling the dantian.

Fortunately, Yaro knew that his training was definitely effective, and he was also full of anticipation for the opening of his dantian. All his attention was focused on his dantian, and he was not affected by the strange feeling in his body at all.

With the movements perfectly executed, Yaro felt his entire body was very stable, as if rooted to the ground. He felt a distinct exertion in his lower limbs, especially his thighs and buttocks, but other parts of his body, such as his shoulders, arms, and neck, were inexplicably relaxed.

My mind became increasingly focused, and the strange sensations in my body seemed both real and illusory. My breathing was like a surging tide, natural and deep.

In a daze, it seemed that all of Yaro's other sensory organs had disappeared, and the tactile sensation of his body became exceptionally clear... as clear as if he had opened a pair of eyes that only perceived the inside of his body.

Internal vision?

The words that flashed through his mind had no effect on Yaro's thoughts; everything proceeded as planned. The abundant life force within him moved gradually along the predetermined path, nourishing his meridians and bringing a warm and comfortable sensation, like taking a shower.

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

Yaro seemed to hear the sound of dew dripping.

A drop...

Two drops...

The sound grew faster and faster, gradually transforming into a gentle, drizzling spring rain.

The dried-up riverbed greedily absorbed the rainwater, and tiny streams began to meander through the cracks, converging into streams, which gradually grew stronger and formed trickles.

A warm sensation gradually enveloped his entire abdomen, and a strange, subtle sense of satisfaction arose within Yaro's body.

It felt like someone who had been starving for a long time had finally had a full meal.

It felt like I'd been cold for a long time, and then suddenly crawled into a warm bed.

But Yaro remained very rational.

He knew that this was life force flowing into his dantian and spreading throughout his body along the meridians of his 'innate heart'.

At the same time, during this process, the life force is also nourishing the dantian, and is blocking the dantian leaks by proliferation, just like a wound is being repaired quickly, which is why the excessive temperature is generated.

It will take some time to build up the dantian.

And Yaro was not lacking in patience.

……

At that moment, in another room, Claire was reading "Claire's Autobiography".

What's it like to read a novel where the protagonist shares the same name as you?
It's hard to say about other aspects, but the sense of identification is definitely very strong, because when anyone sees their own name, they will subconsciously identify that name as themselves.

Actually, reading a novel where the protagonist shares the same name as yourself is similar to the first-person perspective of "I" often used in early online novels in Ya Luo's previous life. The advantage is that it provides a strong sense of immersion, but the disadvantage is that it is also too immersive.

So Claire felt extremely awkward watching it.

Especially in the very first paragraph, Claire was neither prepared nor did she subconsciously put herself in the protagonist's position, which made her so embarrassed that she was practically digging her toes together.

……

"No vitality whatsoever!"

Looking at the five large, almost blindingly bright characters on the testing magic stone, Claire remained expressionless, a self-deprecating smile playing on her lips...

……

His face was expressionless, but there was a hint of self-mockery at the corner of his lips?
I really can't do it. Can someone demonstrate it for me?
What does it mean to have no vitality at all?
If all vitality is gone, isn't that death?

The opening content was a real shock, almost knocking Claire out!

Claire slammed the book shut and paced back and forth in the room for a long time before the surging shame slowly subsided.

He sat down at his desk again.

He is now completely expressionless.
