When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 12 The Art of Consuming Wind and Dew

"Confirm your selection, 'The Art of Eating Wind and Drinking Dew'."

A gentle voice slowly explained Bai Ze's choice, and many bookshelves disappeared at the same time, with only one book flying in.

It hovered in front of Bai Ze and opened automatically.

At the same time, a transparent humanoid figure appeared not far ahead, sitting cross-legged, with light spots appearing inside its body and being connected by light.

Having learned about meridians in medical class, Bai Ze immediately recognized that the light spots and lines inside the transparent humanoid figure were a meridian diagram.

"StarNet's service is truly excellent. No wonder Senior Zhong Jing said that we can leave everything to StarNet," Bai Ze couldn't help but exclaim.

It is said that the cultivation manuals brought back from the other world were obscure and difficult to understand. Even though the culture of the Eastern Xia Federation is similar to that of the other world, it is still difficult to fully interpret the contents of the cultivation manuals.

As for Western Union, let's not even talk about it.

Initially, the Western Alliance was completely lagging behind in martial arts, and it wasn't until the emergence of New Martial Arts that they caught up.

It now seems that the Western Alliance must have acquired technology from other worlds and combined it with martial arts to catch up.

Back to the point.

After the book was opened, a ball of air appeared in the lower abdomen of the transparent humanoid figure.

That should be the lower dantian area.

The Eastern Xia region adopted the realm designations from the other world, dividing martial arts realms into three souls and seven spirits.

A one-star martial artist cultivates the central soul among the seven souls, located in the lower dantian. At the beginning of martial arts cultivation, one gathers the vital energy throughout the body, circulates it through the body, and guides it to the lower dantian to connect with the central soul.

Once the lower dantian is full of internal energy, it is then transported upwards from the lower dantian to open the heart orifice and begin the second-level power cultivation.

The heart is the hub of the body's Qi and blood. Nourishing the blood with Qi strengthens the body, making one incredibly powerful, and thus, one's strength and vitality are formed.

Afterwards, the three stars cultivated their essence and spirit, their vital energy was inexhaustible, and they were born endlessly.

The four stars cultivate their spirit, inhaling and exhaling primordial energy, condensing inner energy into true energy.

However, the "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew Skill" allows one to begin breathing in vital energy earlier, giving them an advantage over other martial artists from the start.

As Bai Ze thought of this, he became even more focused, staring intently at the transparent humanoid figure.

At the same time, the explanation of "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew" began. But strangely, the voice explaining was no longer the previous gentle voice, but an indifferent female voice.

"The message says that only one person in Dongxia mastered the 'Wind and Dew Drinking Skill' at the first star level. Is that person a woman?" Bai Ze thought to himself upon hearing the voice.

To guide cultivation, one must naturally be someone who has successfully cultivated.

Currently, there is only one person in Dongxia who has mastered the skill at the first star level, so this voice most likely comes from that sole successful individual.

"At the beginning of practicing the 'Eating Wind and Drinking Dew' exercise, one should use internal energy to travel to the Taiyin Lung Meridian, open up the relevant meridians, and connect the acupoints of the lungs to communicate with the nasal passages. Then, through a special breathing method, one should forcefully inhale the primordial energy in the air into the body to strengthen the internal energy."

"There are three difficulties. First, the meridians in the lungs are delicate and fragile, and a slight mistake can damage the lungs."

"Second, the breathing technique is extremely difficult; if it is not mastered, one cannot forcibly absorb vital energy."

"Third, after completing the breathing technique, you need to make it an instinct and maintain it at all times. You also need to switch from external breathing to internal breathing, mimicking the innate breathing state of a fetus, in order to fully absorb vital energy and moisture."

"For a four-star martial artist, the above three points are not too difficult, but for a one-star martial artist, they are as difficult as ascending to heaven. Now, pay attention to the circulation of internal energy, and guide the internal energy into the dantian..."

The woman's voice narrated the key points of the technique in a straightforward manner. Her voice was cold and indifferent, without any fluctuation, but her explanation was very thorough.

Then--

"It's so difficult."

The female voice explained things very well, and Bai Ze understood it by watching the demonstration with the transparent humanoid figure.

Understanding something is one thing, but being able to do it is another.

The difficulty lies not in understanding, but in personal ability; that's why it's said that extraordinary talent is required to master this skill. Bai Ze doesn't possess that extraordinary talent, but that doesn't matter, for he can make his words come true.

"Should we switch to cultivation mode?"

At this moment, the gentle voice appeared again, "The realism of the StarNet can reach 80%. Users can practice martial arts moves or fight with other martial artists in the StarNet to increase their combat experience. However, in terms of internal energy cultivation, because it cannot reach 100% realism, accidents may occur, and it is impossible to guide the internal energy within the real body when cultivating in the StarNet."

"The cultivation mode allows the user's consciousness to return to their own body while maintaining the projection of consciousness, so that they can view the Star Network content and cultivate at the same time."

"Let's switch to cultivation mode," Bai Ze said.

Other martial artists might need to watch it several times before they feel comfortable starting their first training session.

But Bai Ze was different; he believed in his own comprehension and hard work.

"Switching cultivation mode."

The gentle voice said, "StarNet will monitor the user's status at all times. If there is any deviation in internal energy, it will issue an immediate warning, and in serious cases, it will call an ambulance immediately."

The voice was still echoing in his ears when Bai Ze felt his real body again.

The virtual pod was adjusting Bai Ze's posture, allowing him to change from a lying position to a seated meditation posture with his palms facing upwards.

Bai Ze did not resist, but changed his posture accordingly. Then, following the female voice that appeared again, he began to recite the practice route of "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew".

"It originates in the middle jiao, descends to connect with the large intestine, then ascends through the diaphragm and enters the lungs. Its qi flows through the Zhongfu, Yunmen, Tianfu..."

The internal energy flowed perfectly in accordance with Bai Ze's words, without any deviation; it was the most precise path ever followed.

When the internal energy reached the relevant acupoints and meridians, it paused slightly, but in the next instant, Bai Ze's spiritual power was depleted, and the acupoints and meridians were immediately opened.

These acupoints and meridians are small and fragile. The key to opening them up lies not in the strength of the internal energy, but in Bai Ze's control over it.

And Bai Ze, who possesses the power to make his words law, is least afraid of this.

As the saying goes, "Where there is a will, there is a way," and Bai Ze can be considered a genius of unparalleled talent.

······
······
When Bai Ze changed from a lying position to a sitting position, Zhong Jing, who was outside the virtual pod, noticed it immediately.

He glanced at the young lady who was leading the way, and she, with great tact, bowed slightly before leaving the room.

"Wanqing, what kind of cultivation method do you think Bai Ze will choose?" Zhong Jing asked with great interest.

A woman wearing a black knee-length skirt and a black beret leaned against the wall and said calmly, "I can't guess what cultivation method he will choose, but I can guess that you definitely hope Bai Ze will cultivate the Pure Yang Boy Skill. People who have been caught in the rain always want to tear up other people's umbrellas."

"I have perseverance and determination. What do you mean by 'getting rained on'? Did the guy who practiced 'boyhood kung fu' eat your rice?"

Zhong Jing retorted somewhat awkwardly, then looked at the virtual pod and said in a low voice, "This is the necessary price that we, from ordinary families, have to pay to catch up with those people. I hope Bai Ze has the same determination."

"What if he hadn't chosen the 'childhood training' method?" Fu Wanqing asked.

“Then my expectations will be lower,” Zhong Jing replied. “If he shows that kind of determination, I should consider increasing the investment.”

As they were talking, Zhong Jing suddenly noticed that Bai Ze seemed to be muttering something to himself.

He took a step closer and listened intently, but he didn't hear the familiar incantation for the Boy's Kung Fu, and couldn't help but show his disappointment.

"It seems your expectations have been dashed," Fu Wanqing said.

In the next instant, Zhong Jing's expression changed drastically.

"Wanqing, I remember that when you register as a martial artist, you are automatically registered with a merit points account, right?" Zhong Jing asked anxiously.

"Yes, what do you want to do?"

"What do you want? Send me money. I want more money, more investment."
