I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

Xiao Bai responded in his mind, his tone tinged with impatience and barely concealed smugness: "Don't worry, with me here, who would dare to lay a finger on them? You go back to your business, leave this to me."

Luo Fei didn't say anything more and stood there for a while longer.

The air in Green Star is exceptionally fresh, carrying the moisture of the soil after the rain and the fragrance of grass and trees. A cool, vibrant energy flows slowly across the skin.

He closed his eyes and tried to cultivate according to the Qi-guiding technique he had just obtained.

As the most basic introductory exercise, the Qi-guiding technique is not complicated, but each step requires precision.

The rhythm of breathing, the degree of concentration of intention, and the direction of guidance of the meridians are all indispensable.

Following the description in the cultivation method, he adjusted his breathing, slowly exhaled the turbid air from his chest, cleared his mind of distractions, and focused his consciousness into his dantian, trying to sense the spiritual energy in the air that was invisible and intangible but truly existed.

He sensed it very quickly.

They did exist, and were much clearer than on Earth, like a thin, flowing mist floating in the air, each wisp carrying a faint light, like fireflies in the grass on a summer night, flickering and changing in the perception of consciousness.

He tried to guide a wisp of spiritual energy into his body and let it flow along the meridians.

Guided by his consciousness, the spiritual energy slowly seeped into his body from the surface of his skin, traveling along the pathways of his meridians.

However, it disappeared the next second.

It wasn't stored in the dantian, but completely disappeared, like a drop of water falling into a dry desert, instantly absorbed without a trace, leaving not even a trace behind.

His dantian remained empty; the wisp of spiritual energy did not settle there, nor did it circulate there, nor did it linger there for even a moment, as if it had never existed.

Luo Fei opened his eyes, his brows furrowed, his heart filled with doubt.

He tried again, this time with greater focus, concentrating intently on guiding the spiritual energy slowly into his body.

He could clearly feel those sparse spiritual energy particles penetrating his skin, entering his meridians, and then—disappearing again.

It either dissipates out of the body or leaks to other places; it simply disappears into thin air.

He stopped what he was doing and asked himself, "Why is this happening?"

The system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, calm and undisturbed: "The host's constitution is the Chaotic Body. This constitution will directly convert all energy entering the body, including spiritual energy, into the energy required by the body."

Luo Fei suddenly realized that it was because of his special physique that he could not store spiritual energy like ordinary people.

He stopped worrying and, with a thought, teleported back home from Green Star.

My feet landed in the familiar courtyard, where sunlight streamed down from the sky overhead, warm and gentle.

The yard was empty, except for the cat's bed under the eaves. He stood in the middle of the yard, closed his eyes, and tried to contact Xiaobai in his mind.

A relaxed voice sounded in his mind, tinged with a hint of laziness: "What? You missed me so soon? I just found them a nice cave, it's quite spacious, enough for them to live in for the time being."

"I also caught a few animals that looked like rabbits but were several times larger. Their fur was light brown and their meat looked quite fatty, perfect for their dinner."

Luo Fei replied, "I'll try to contact you from this distance. Contact me anytime if anything happens."

Xiao Bai's consciousness responded with a hint of laziness and indifference: "We have a soul contract, so we can communicate no matter how far apart we are. What's there to test? You go ahead and do your thing, I'm fine here, don't worry."

Luo Fei said no more and walked to the largest Spirit Gathering Grass in the yard.

He spread a clean, soft straw mat on the ground next to him, then went back into the house to call his parents out.

Li Xiulan wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen, still wearing an apron.

She walked into the courtyard, looked at the straw mat that had been laid out, and then looked at Luo Fei with a puzzled expression. Although she didn't know what her son was going to do, she knew that her son was always calm and would not do anything meaningless, so she just waited quietly.

Luo Weidong also came out of the house, holding the TV remote control in his hand, obviously he had been watching TV.

He walked to the straw mat and stood there, not sitting down immediately, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Facing his parents, Luo Fei took a deep breath and slowly said, "Mom, Dad, I'll teach you a set of techniques. It's called the Qi-Inducing Technique. It allows you to sense the spiritual energy in the air, and long-term practice can improve your physical condition and prolong your life."

When Li Xiulan heard the words "cultivation method," she looked somewhat confused, clearly indicating that the term was unfamiliar to her.

Luo Weidong didn't show any obvious change in expression, but he had already silently placed the remote control on the edge of the flower bed next to him, clearly becoming serious as well.

Luo Fei began to teach them the Qi-inducing technique.

He had his parents sit cross-legged on a straw mat, with their hands naturally placed on their knees, palms facing up, in a relaxed posture, and then close their eyes.

He himself sat down in front of them and taught them the incantation of the Qi-inducing technique word by word, making sure they could remember it.

Next, he taught them the breathing method that corresponded to the mantra: "When you inhale, imagine fresh air entering your body from the Baihui acupoint on the top of your head, going down your spine, and stopping at the Dantian."

"When you exhale, imagine the breath going up from your lower abdomen, down your spine, back to the top of your head, and slowly being expelled from the top of your head. The whole process should be natural and slow, don't rush, just feel it with your mind."

Li Xiulan obediently closed her eyes and began to take deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling.

Her breathing was slow and even, like someone taking a nap in the afternoon, her expression relaxed and focused.

Luo Weidong also closed his eyes. His breathing was slightly faster than Li Xiulan's, clearly not quite used to it yet, but he was trying to adjust his rhythm and let his body gradually adapt to this unfamiliar breathing method.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Li Xiulan was the first to open her eyes. Her eyes sparkled with a strange light, filled with surprise and disbelief: "Xiaofei, I think... I think I can feel some bright, sparkling points in the air around me, like little fireflies."

Luo Fei nodded, a relieved smile on his face: "That's spiritual energy, Mom. You have a lot of talent. Keep practicing."

He then turned to look at Luo Weidong, who still had his eyes closed, and continued, "Dad, it's normal not to be able to sense it at first, don't worry. The spiritual energy on our Blue Star is extremely thin, only a little bit near the Spirit Gathering Grass. Practice more near the Spirit Gathering Grass when you have time, and you'll gradually be able to sense it."

Li Xiulan nodded, her face filled with excitement, and closed her eyes again, continuing to immerse herself in the wondrous experience of sensing spiritual energy.

Luo Weidong nodded slightly, and although he didn't speak, his breathing became noticeably more steady.

Luo Fei didn't rush to leave. He stood in the middle of the courtyard, quietly watching his parents sitting next to the Spirit Gathering Grass, their eyes closed, their breathing even, their expressions calm and focused.

He stood there for a moment, making sure they were in stable condition and that nothing unexpected had happened, before he felt relieved.

With a thought, Luo Fei's figure disappeared from the courtyard and appeared in Director Qin's office in the next second.
