Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 29 New Discovery

When Zhou Qing returned to his residence in the evening and was practicing Qigong, he thought of Chen Qingxuan's warning about the time for practice.

This time he spent some time and effort to observe the damage caused to the meridians when the spiritual energy flowed through them.

Zhou Qing discovered that as more and more spiritual energy was introduced into his body, the energy density in his meridians became higher and higher, which indeed caused great pressure on the meridians.

He couldn't directly observe the damage to the meridians, but he could sense the active electrical signals of nearby cells through the magnetic field.

That's the cells being traumatized and working intensively to repair themselves.

There is a limit to this kind of injury and repair.

When the speed of repair cannot keep up with the speed of injury, the circulation of Qi should be stopped.

This should be the two-hour limit that the world of immortal cultivation has figured out.

However, Zhou Qing was very skeptical whether this limitation was truly unbreakable.

For those chosen ones in the Taoist temples, who can guarantee that there are no pills that can quickly repair the meridians so that they can extend the time of daily qi circulation?

In the world of cultivating immortals, talent and sect are two major limitations for practitioners. If he did not possess special abilities, it would be impossible for him to overcome these two limitations and compete with the chosen ones of the Taoist temples.

Two hours passed quickly. When Zhou Qing was about to finish the Qigong exercise, he suddenly discovered that the cells near his meridians were still very active, without any signs of fatigue, as if they had not reached their limit at all.

How is this going?

Could it be that the two-hour limit mentioned by Uncle Chen is wrong, and in fact cultivators can withstand a longer period of time for Qi circulation?

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and soon discovered the truth.

What Uncle Chen said was correct, but it just didn't apply to him.

The limitation on the time of Qi circulation is actually the contradiction between high energy density and the fragile human body.

The physical body of a cultivator will become stronger as his realm improves. This is because the spiritual energy flowing through the body will naturally nourish the physical body.

According to the records in the exercises, for a Qi-refining cultivator, every time he advances to a higher level, his physical strength will increase by a thousand pounds, and the strength of his physical body will naturally increase accordingly.

However, the speed of strengthening the physical body is still much slower than the speed of compressing spiritual energy, so the cultivator has to shorten the time of Qi circulation every day.

But Zhou Qing is different.

He had no spiritual roots, so he had to use a magnetic field to forcibly draw spiritual energy into his body.

During this process, four-fifths of the spiritual energy will be absorbed by the body and used to strengthen the body.

In other words, the speed at which his body strengthens is much faster than the speed at which his spiritual energy is compressed.

He is not restricted by the time of practice at all.

His only limitation is the limit on his energy consumption by the magnetic field.

Zhou Qing was overjoyed.

As the time of cultivation got longer, he felt that his energy was becoming more and more abundant, and now the time he opened the magnetic field was far more than two hours a day.

He decided to continue practicing to see what his current limit was.

Zhou Qing continued to circulate Qi.

Another hour passed before he felt that his energy was running out, so he stopped the Qigong exercise.

Feeling the spiritual energy filling his body during the day, Zhou Qing's heart was filled with joy.

In this way, he could practice for one more hour every day than others.

His original cultivation speed was roughly equivalent to that of having four spiritual roots. In this way, if he cultivated for three hours every day, it would be almost the same as having six spiritual roots.

He had only been practicing for a short ten days, but he had made such great progress, which filled him with hope for the future. Five days later, almost all of the new disciples had sensed the spiritual energy and were ready to begin practicing the exercises.

Wei Xu and the other two had already circulated their qi to break through the platform gate and launched an attack towards the Mingtang gate.

With this level of cultivation progress, apart from Zhou Qing and Wei Kuang, there are only three or five disciples from Qingyun Sect who are better than them.

These ten or so people became the first echelon of this class of disciples and were the popular candidates for becoming disciples.

The other disciples were naturally extremely envious, but they could do nothing but stare at Chen Qingxuan, waiting for him to teach them the skills.

Chen Qingxuan did not let his disciples wait in vain. He taught them the skills that day and explained the key points clearly. Then he asked his disciples to try to circulate qi in batches.

The first batch of ten people no longer needed his care.

The remaining fifty disciples practiced in groups of ten at a time. Chen Qingxuan personally protected them and gave them guidance on how to control the timing.

It was very dangerous for a cultivator to practice Qigong at the beginning, and Chen Qingxuan could only take care of ten people at the same time.

Zhou Qing had been prepared long ago. Chen Qingxuan would ask him to protect other disciples, just like the divine communication between heaven and man to protect them.

He has no complaints about this.

Chen Qingxuan was the first and greatest benefactor he met in his career of cultivating immortals.

Without Chen Qingxuan, he would have no chance of entering the Immortal Gate.

Anyone who has had some experience in society understands how rare it is to meet someone who is willing to help you at a critical juncture in your life.

Even without considering the so-called cause and effect, Zhou Qing was willing to do something for Chen Qingxuan in return.

Who knew that Chen Qingxuan didn't even mention this request, which made Zhou Qing feel puzzled.

That evening, Chen Qingxuan dismissed all the disciples. Zhou Qing went to meet him and said with a smile, "Master, you have worked hard."

Chen Qingxuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to use empty words with me."

Zhou Qing said, "I am ready to serve Uncle-Master and protect the other disciples and sisters. However, Uncle-Master has never mentioned it, which makes me a little puzzled. So I came to ask Uncle-Master, do you think I am not qualified?"

Chen Qingxuan smiled and said, "You are fully qualified. With your sensitivity to Qi circulation and your ability to give advice on the spot, if you were to give them guidance, I'm afraid you would be better than me. It's just..."

Having said this, Chen Qingxuan suddenly stopped. He paced a few steps, as if thinking about something, and then said, "Guiding the cultivators in their Qi flow and sensing their spiritual energy to protect them are two completely different things."

"Anyone who can circulate Qi is already a cultivator. Therefore, the person who first teaches you how to circulate Qi is your guide on the path to immortality."

"In a cultivator's career, there are few favors greater than this. For this reason, every sect's doubt solver and their class of disciples are considered a community of shared interests."

"I can't make the decision for you for such a great favor."

"If I ask you to protect them, then the favor will be counted on me. But if they are desperate and ask you for help, then the favor will be counted on you."

"I shouldn't have taken advantage of you."

Zhou Qing was somewhat moved, and said seriously, "During this period, Uncle Master has been very caring towards me. I should repay him. Why should we be so clear-cut?"

Chen Qingxuan smiled and said, "Master, I'm very happy that you have this intention."

"However, I'm afraid your future path will be difficult. Gathering some helpers around you will help you go further. Uncle Master can't bear to see such a talent like yours go to waste."

Zhou Qing understood what Chen Qingxuan meant.

The improvement of one's own cultivation level will be very slow if one cannot become a senior disciple. If one cannot become a senior disciple, it will be difficult for him to be promoted to an entry-level disciple in the future. After ten years, he will have to leave Sanshan to handle some chores for the sect.

If all the disciples of this session can receive my favor, and some of them gain power in the future, they may be able to gain recognition for me in the sect.
