Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 28: Natural Harmony
The three of them followed the instructions and began to circulate qi again.

This time they did not dare to use strong consciousness, but only used their minds to gently guide the spiritual energy along the meridians.

As a result, the spiritual energy seemed to turn into a pool of stagnant mercury, and their consciousness was unable to mobilize the spiritual energy.

If you use your mind, it will be too much; if you don’t use your mind, you will not be able to guide the spiritual energy.

They finally understood why it was so difficult to control the heat.

At the same time, they also understood why Chen Qingxuan valued Zhou Qing so much.

Without the protection and guidance of a teacher, he broke through the twelfth level and completed the circulation of the Qi in just one night.

They found that the more they learned about Zhou Qing, the more they marveled at his almost unfathomable understanding.

Wang Xiaohu was the most free-spirited person. Seeing that he couldn't attract the spiritual energy, he stopped and wanted to see whether Wei Xu and Nie Yunxi had succeeded.

Wei Xu continued to slowly adjust his mind. He strengthened his will little by little, trying to slowly approach the right temperature.

Nie Yunxi thought that now that her uncle was by her side, it was the perfect time for her to give it a try without any worries.

She was impatient to test the heat bit by bit, but suddenly raised her awareness to see if the heat was too high or still not enough.

If the temperature is not yet high enough, she will continue to raise her consciousness so that she can get close to the right temperature as soon as possible.

This time the heat was indeed still lacking, and the spiritual energy was still like mercury, stagnant at the Jade Steps, motionless, but swaying slightly.

She once again raised her consciousness significantly.

The spiritual energy of Yujie Pass seemed to be stimulated and suddenly rushed forward.

The situation just now happened again.

Chen Qingxuan was about to step forward to calm her spiritual energy when a figure suddenly appeared from the side and reached out to hold Nie Yunxi's shoulder.

Chen Qingxuan was startled and was about to step forward to stop him, but when he saw that it was Zhou Qing, he stopped.

He knew that Zhou Qing was not a reckless person, and that he and Nie Yunxi were good friends. He would never joke about Nie Yunxi's path or even his life.

Zhou Qing pinched several acupoints on Nie Yunxi's right shoulder with his hands, and at the same time made her bend forward and lean on him. He then used his left hand to press several acupoints between her buttocks, and at the same time twisted her body with force.

He was not familiar with the acupuncture points on the human body, but he used the magnetic field to sense Nie Yunxi's condition and found that her overall electromagnetic signal was in conflict with the spiritual energy in her body, especially the electromagnetic signals at several acupuncture points were more abnormal, showing incoordination with the overall body condition.

So he followed his instinct and adjusted Nie Yunxi's body posture to change her electromagnetic signal.

Nie Yunxi's condition did improve.

She was originally suffering from the pain of the turbulent spiritual energy, with a tangled expression on her face, but suddenly, she felt the spiritual energy in her body become soft.

Her consciousness and spiritual energy seemed to be in a state of harmony, slowly guiding the spiritual energy to flow along the meridians.

Nie Yunxi didn't have time to think about it. She tried hard to remember her current level and continued to guide the spiritual energy forward. When the spiritual energy reached the platform gate, it refused to move forward and suddenly retreated to the Jade Steps Gate.

Nie Yunxi finished the Qigong exercise with a lingering feeling.

She opened her eyes and found herself leaning on Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing pinched the acupoint on his right shoulder with his right hand, and reached around his body with his left hand to press the acupoint between his thighs. Their cheeks were pressed together, and it looked like they were hugging each other.

Her face flushed crimson. Seeing that she had finished her Qigong exercise, Zhou Qing let her go, stood up, and asked, "Junior Sister, how do you feel?"

Nie Yunxi was very embarrassed and wondered why her senior brother suddenly became so frivolous. How could he ask her how she felt about such a thing in public?

Ah, that’s not right. Brother, you’re asking about the feeling of Qi circulation.

Nie Yunxi, what are you thinking about!

She quickly gathered her thoughts and recounted her experience in detail, adding, "I had already directed my Qi to the platform gate, but for some reason the spiritual energy suddenly retreated back to the Jade Steps."

Chen Qingxuan said, "This is normal. You don't have enough spiritual energy in your body to break through the platform, so the spiritual energy will naturally retreat. As long as you remember your experience just now, you can follow this timing to circulate your energy in the future. When the spiritual energy is accumulated sufficiently, you can try to break through the platform."

Then he looked at Zhou Qing seriously and asked, "How did you do that?"

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "I can't really explain it. I just felt that this posture could help her calm down, so I did it naturally."

Chen Qingxuan fell silent for a long while before he sighed and said with a smile, "It is said that there is a kind of genius in the world whose mind and spirit are naturally in harmony with the Tao. They can understand any technique at a glance and solve any difficulties in cultivation at a glance."

"I didn't believe there were such people. Now it seems that I am just too ignorant."

"Cultivators can indeed use body postures and movements to help adjust the heat. Our Qingyun Sect has also developed many movements and even breathing techniques to help disciples adjust the heat in various situations."

"However, this technique is based on others as a template. When you use it on yourself, the situation will inevitably change."

"Compared to your impromptu instructions, it's more than one level lower."

Zhou Qing originally thought that Chen Qingxuan would ask him to help guide his disciples in qigong, just like asking him to sense spiritual energy and protect the disciples.

Unexpectedly, he did not express such thoughts at all, but let the matter go as if nothing had happened.

The other disciples continued to go back and sense the spiritual energy.

Nie Yunxi and the other two tried to circulate qi.

Zhou Qing helped them adjust the temperature several times, and the three of them finally got the hang of it and could try to guide the spiritual energy themselves.

The three people who finally succeeded could not bear to waste any time and immediately immersed themselves in Qigong.

After two hours, Chen Qingxuan woke them up and said, "That's all for today. Qigong exercises cannot exceed two hours a day."

Wei Xu was still not satisfied and said, "Why is that? I feel like I still have some strength left."

Chen Qingxuan said: "The process of circulating Qi also compresses the spiritual energy in the meridians. The compressed spiritual energy will bring great pressure and damage to the meridians. At the same time, the spiritual energy flowing in the body will nourish the meridians and the body, so that the meridians and the body are strengthened."

“There’s a balance between the two.”

"After millions of years of exploration in the world of immortal cultivation, we have finally concluded that two hours of daily cultivation is the most appropriate. If you practice for too long, it will damage your foundation. Therefore, you must not be greedy for progress, and everything should be done with caution."

The three of them then understood the reason and immediately agreed respectfully.

Zhou Qing also suddenly realized.

No wonder he felt indescribable fatigue and weakness two hours after his first Qigong exercise. This was certainly because the magnetic field consumed his energy, but it was also probably because his body was compressed and oppressed by the spiritual energy, causing him to unconsciously take self-protection measures.

It seems that when I can practice on my own in the future, I must also pay attention to moderation and not be greedy for progress, which will damage my foundation.
