Behind the door was a spacious room with several long tables and chairs, resembling a library reading room.

The lights in the reading room were still on, and several long tables were piled high with various documents and books.

At one corner of the long table, Li Wenjing, Zhao Xiaomei, and Lin Fang were sitting together, talking in hushed tones, their conversation unreadable.

"You guys really haven't left yet."

Upon seeing the three women, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah! You, how did you get here?"

Hearing Zhang Beixing's voice, Li Wenjing and the other two women were startled and looked up at the door.

When they saw Zhang Beixing standing at the door, smiling at them, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

“Why can’t I be here? This is a library.” Zhang Beixing said with a smile.

"But...but the library is closed now," Zhao Xiaomei couldn't help but say.

"Can't I come in just because the door is closed?" Zhang Beixing retorted.

"Of course not... it's just that your sudden appearance in front of us surprised us a bit," Lin Fang explained.

"Oh, I see." Zhang Beixing nodded and said, "Actually, I was just passing by here and noticed that the side door wasn't closed properly, so I came in to take a look."

"Aren't you surprised to see us here?" Li Wenjing asked curiously.

"Of course I'm surprised," Zhang Beixing said truthfully. "I didn't expect you to still be here so late."

"Oh dear, don't misunderstand, we're not organizing documents," Zhao Xiaomei quickly waved her hand and explained, "We're just... just..."

She seemed somewhat embarrassed and unsure of how to put it.

“We were just chatting,” Li Wenjing replied.

“Yes, yes, we were just chatting,” Lin Fang chimed in.

However, an unnatural look appeared on their faces, clearly indicating that they were hiding something.

Zhang Beixing could naturally see that something was wrong with them, but he didn't point it out directly. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Since you're not organizing data, I'm relieved."

"Huh? What are you so worried about?" Zhao Xiaomei asked curiously.

"Of course I'm not worried about you guys overworking yourselves," Zhang Beixing said with a smile. "Being here so late must be tiring."

"Oh...so you were worried about us." Zhao Xiaomei finally realized, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

"Of course, you are my good friends, how could I not care about you?" Zhang Beixing said with a smile.

"Thank you, Zhang Beixing." Li Wenjing looked at Zhang Beixing gratefully and said, "Actually, we didn't mean to hide it from you. There are just some things we didn't know how to tell you."

“Yes, Zhang Beixing, there are some things we really don’t know how to bring up,” Lin Fang added.

Hearing the two women say this, Zhang Beixing's curiosity grew even stronger.

He had a vague feeling that Li Wenjing and the others seemed to be hiding something important.

These things are very likely related to the *Huang Ting Jing*!
"Is there something you want to tell me?" Zhang Beixing asked the three women.

“This…” Li Wenjing and the other two women exchanged glances, their faces showing hesitation.

They did have something they wanted to say to Zhang Beixing, but they didn't know how to bring it up.

“If you trust me, then tell me.” Zhang Beixing looked at the three women earnestly. “No matter what it is, I will do my best to help you.”

Upon hearing Zhang Beixing's words, Li Wenjing and the other two women fell silent.

After a long while, Li Wenjing took a deep breath and slowly said, "Alright, since you've put it that way, then we'll tell you."

Then she told them all about why they were still in the library so late and what they knew about the *Huang Ting Jing*.

It turns out that Li Wenjing and her friends were not organizing materials at the library so late, but studying the "Huang Ting Jing"!
They accidentally discovered the secret of the "Huang Ting Jing" and even tried practicing it.

But it turned out that he was completely unable to cultivate successfully!

Not only that, they also suffered some internal injuries due to forced cultivation!

Although these internal injuries were not serious, they still left them feeling very frustrated and disappointed.

After all, the Huangting Jing is the supreme classic of Taoism. If one can successfully cultivate it, one's strength will definitely be greatly enhanced, and one may even undergo a complete transformation!
But now, they can't even get started, let alone succeed in their cultivation.

That's why they're still studying the "Huang Ting Jing" in the library so late at night, hoping to find the secrets or methods to succeed in cultivation.

After listening to Li Wenjing's account, Zhang Beixing finally understood the whole story.

He frowned slightly and looked at Li Wenjing and the other two women, saying, "You're all too impulsive! The Huangting Jing is a supreme Taoist classic, extremely difficult to cultivate! You have no cultivation foundation or experience, yet you dare to force yourselves to cultivate it. Aren't you playing with your lives?"

Hearing Zhang Beixing's reprimand, Li Wenjing and the other two women lowered their heads and dared not speak.

They knew that what they were doing was somewhat reckless and risky, but it was too late to regret it now.

"Forget it, what's done is done, there's no point in saying anything more." Zhang Beixing sighed. "How are you feeling now? Is anything bothering you?"

"We're okay, just a little tightness in our chest and shortness of breath," Li Wenjing said.

“These are symptoms of internal injury. You all need to rest well,” Zhang Beixing said. “How about this, you go back and rest first, and I’ll take another look tomorrow to see if there’s any way to treat the internal injury.”

"Really? Zhang Beixing, can you really help us treat our internal injuries?" Zhao Xiaomei asked excitedly.

"I can't guarantee I can cure it, but I will do my best," Zhang Beixing said earnestly.

"Thank you, Zhang Beixing!" Li Wenjing and the other two women looked at Zhang Beixing gratefully.

"Don't mention it, we're friends, helping each other is only right," Zhang Beixing said with a smile. Afterwards, Li Wenjing and the other two women said goodbye to Zhang Beixing and left the library.

Zhang Beixing watched their departing figures, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He never expected that Li Wenjing and the others would risk getting injured while practicing the "Huang Ting Jing," and he never expected to meet them at this time.

All of this seemed to be a preordained destiny.

Thinking of this, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He was determined to heal Li Wenjing and the others' internal injuries no matter what, and to guide them in the correct practice of the "Huangting Jing"!
The next morning, Zhang Beixing got up early, washed up, and went to wait for Li Wenjing and the others downstairs in the girls' dormitory.

A short while later, Li Wenjing and the other two women came down together.

They were all surprised and delighted to see Zhang Beixing already waiting for them.

"Zhang Beixing, you're here so early," Li Wenjing said as she stepped forward.

"Yes, I didn't have anything else to do, so I came early to wait for you guys," Zhang Beixing said with a smile.

"Let's go to the school hospital now," Zhao Xiaomei said.

"What are you going to the school hospital for?" Zhang Beixing asked curiously.

"Of course we're going to treat our internal injuries," Lin Fang explained. "We felt really unwell after we got back last night, so we wanted to go to the school hospital for a checkup."

"Oh, I see." Zhang Beixing nodded. "But you don't need to go to the school hospital. I've already found a highly skilled senior to treat your internal injuries."

"Really? That's great!" Li Wenjing and the other two women exclaimed excitedly.

After they went home last night, they did feel very unwell. Their symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath became more and more obvious, and even affected their normal life and study.

That's why they wanted to go to the school hospital for a check-up to see if there was anything seriously wrong.

Now that they heard Zhang Beixing say that he had found a highly skilled senior to treat their internal injuries, they were all very happy and excited.

“Then come with me now,” Zhang Beixing said.

Then, he led Li Wenjing and the other two girls to a secluded corner of the campus.

There is an old pavilion here, surrounded by flowers, trees and shrubs, creating a very quiet and elegant environment.

At this moment, several elderly men were already leisurely drinking tea and chatting in the pavilion.

They were all curious and surprised to see Zhang Beixing walking over with three girls.

"Young friend Fang, you've arrived so early!" one of the elderly men with white hair greeted him with a smile.

This old man was none other than the Taoist master I met at the library yesterday—Master Xuanzhen!
"Good morning, Senior Xuanzhen." Zhang Beixing greeted them respectfully. "These are my friends. They suffered some internal injuries while practicing the Huangting Scripture, so they would like to ask for your help in treating them."

"Oh? You were injured while practicing the Huangting Jing?" Master Xuanzhen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "Tell me the details of the situation."

Then, Li Wenjing and the other two women recounted in detail their experience of cultivating the "Huangting Jing" and the circumstances of their injuries.

After listening to their stories, Master Xuanzhen frowned.

He never expected that these girls would be so reckless and adventurous in practicing the "Huang Ting Jing," and even suffer internal injuries as a result.

However, he also understood their feelings and actions. After all, the Huangting Jing is the supreme classic of Taoism, and who wouldn't want to succeed in its cultivation?
"I understand your situation," Master Xuanzhen said to Li Wenjing and the other two women. "Fortunately, you encountered young friend Fang; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"What do you mean, senior?" Li Wenjing asked curiously.

“Your injuries from practicing the Huangting Jing are not a big problem in themselves. The key issue is that you did not have the correct practice methods and guidance.”

Master Xuanzhen stroked his beard, his gaze deep as he looked at Li Wenjing, Zhao Xiaomei, and Lin Fang. He spoke solemnly, “The Huangting Jing is a classic of Taoism, and it is by no means an ordinary book. Its cultivation methods are extremely profound and cannot be mastered in a short time. If you rashly attempt to cultivate it with only enthusiasm, it is like groping forward with your eyes closed. You are very likely to go astray, and it will be difficult to avoid getting injured.”

Upon hearing this, Li Wenjing and the other two women all lowered their heads in shame. They realized that they had indeed been too rash and arrogant, believing that they could solve the mystery of the *Huang Ting Jing* with their own intelligence, but they had almost caused a disaster. Looking back now, they were filled with regret.

"Senior, what should we do now?" Zhao Xiaomei asked anxiously, her eyes filled with expectation and longing. She was unwilling to give up the opportunity to cultivate the "Huang Ting Jing," and even less willing to let her internal injuries continue to plague her.

Master Xuanzhen smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to worry. Now that you've met me, I won't let you waste all your previous efforts. I will teach you the correct cultivation methods and help you heal your internal injuries."

Upon hearing this, the three women were overjoyed and quickly thanked Master Xuanzhen. They knew that this was the only opportunity to cultivate the *Huangting Jing*, and they absolutely could not miss it.

Master Xuanzhen waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be so polite. Then, he began to explain in detail to the three women the cultivation methods and precautions of the "Huangting Jing".

He slowly explained: "The most important thing in cultivating the Yellow Court Classic is to refine Qi. Qi is the foundation of life. Only by refining Qi well can one talk about other cultivation methods. The way to refine Qi lies in the harmonious unity of regulating the mind, regulating the breath, and regulating the body."

"To regulate the mind, one must be single-minded and clear-headed; to regulate the breath, one must breathe naturally, slowly, and evenly; to regulate the body, one must maintain proper posture and be comfortable and at ease. Only by achieving these three points can one begin to cultivate the Huangting Jing."

The three women listened intently, nodding occasionally to show their understanding. They realized that cultivation was no easy task, requiring immense effort and patience. At the same time, they felt deeply fortunate to have encountered a master like Master Xuanzhen to guide them.

Next, Master Xuanzhen taught the three women some specific cultivation methods and techniques. He explained in detail how to guide the flow of internal energy through breathing and intention, and how to sense and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one's own use. He also personally demonstrated the postures and movements of cultivation, allowing the three women to understand the essentials of cultivation more intuitively.

After imparting the cultivation methods, Master Xuanzhen began treating the internal injuries of Li Wenjing, Zhao Xiaomei, and Lin Fang. He was well aware of the difficulty and danger of internal injuries, so he dared not slack off in the slightest.

Master Xuanzhen instructed the three women to sit cross-legged, close their eyes, and relax their minds and bodies as much as possible. He stood before them, watching them with a solemn expression, preparing to begin the treatment.

"Do not panic. I will use my profound Taoist energy and superb medical skills to heal your internal injuries," Master Xuanzhen said slowly, his voice revealing confidence and authority.

Upon hearing this, the three women nodded slightly, expressing their trust and gratitude. They knew that Master Xuanzhen was their only hope and an important guide on their path of cultivation.

Master Xuanzhen took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. He stretched out his hands, palms facing up, and began to circulate his internal energy. With his breathing and mental guidance, streams of warmth gradually gathered between his hands.

The warm current grew stronger and stronger, as if it were about to break through the clouds. Master Xuanzhen remained calm and continued to circulate his true energy until he reached his peak.

Then, Master Xuanzhen gently placed his hands on the tops of the three women's heads. He closed his eyes slightly and began to slowly channel his true energy into their bodies.

As soon as this warm true energy entered the three women's bodies, it flowed through their meridians like a clear spring. Wherever it passed, stagnant blood and turbid qi dissipated as if encountering their nemesis. (End of Chapter)
