Anti-fraud manual for the cultivation world

Li Gu took a deep breath and began to circulate his internal energy.

The cold jade stone emitted a cool aura, helping him maintain his composure, remaining calm, composed, and undisturbed.

Li Gu gathered all his true energy and guided it along his meridians toward the Guanyuan acupoint.

The system has taken effect and will force "lies to become truth." In other words, whether Li Gu succeeds or not if he uses the "correct method" is still unknown and depends on the right time, place, people, and luck.

But using the second senior brother's "fake method" will surely lead to success.

If Li Gu weren't stupid, he would definitely choose to use a fake method.

But even knowing that the method his second senior brother taught him was fake and would lead to demonic possession, he still did it, which put him under considerable psychological pressure. It's like bungee jumping; you know you'll be pulled back by the rope after jumping, but you're still afraid.

Phew! Never mind! Let's get started!

Li Gu concentrated all his true energy at the Zhongji acupoint, mentally prepared himself, gritted his teeth, and unleashed all his true energy, rushing along the meridians and striking the Guanyuan acupoint with all his might.

The Guanyuan acupoint is like a thick wall, but the true qi is like a sledgehammer.

"boom"

The wall shattered, but the true energy was scattered by the violent impact, rushing in all directions and through the eight extraordinary meridians at an extremely fast speed.

People in the Qi Refining stage have very limited meridian capacity, like tiny water pipes.

But the burst of true energy was like a rushing river.

The thin water pipes couldn't move the river water away in a short time...

Then there's only one answer!

Li Gu's meridians felt as if they had been struck by a heavy blow, exploding all at once. It was as if a small knife was severing each meridian in his body, piece by piece. He felt his body losing sensation inch by inch; he couldn't feel his feet, he couldn't feel his hands, he couldn't even feel his heart beating...

A feeling of numbness filled my entire body!

He couldn't even open his mouth.

This must be what happened to Senior Brother Zheng, right?

Li Gu gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on, but it was all in vain. After only half an incense stick's time, he couldn't hold on any longer and his body went limp and he collapsed...

The system may make lies come true, but the process will be full of twists and turns... at least that's what it says.

Li Gu can only trust it now.

"Junior Brother Li!"

Li Gu heard the mournful cry of his second senior brother, Zhou Shijie. In one swift motion, Zhou Shijie lifted Li Gu off the cold jade stone. Dozens of junior brothers and sisters gathered around, and even the eldest senior sister, Bai Yan, was alerted and immediately flew over to place her hand on Li Gu's pulse.

After examining the area with her internal energy, Bai Yan's expression changed drastically, a stark contrast to her usual expressionless demeanor: "Oh no, Junior Brother Li has suffered a qi deviation; his meridians are in trouble."

The second senior brother looked anxious: "I have to save him. I must save Junior Brother Li. I will use my internal energy to help him regulate his meridians and get through this difficult time."

Having said that, he immediately struck out with his palm, pressing it against Li Gu's back, and a stream of true energy entered Li Gu's back...

Everyone thought he was helping Li Gu, but only Li Gu knew that the true energy his second senior brother injected was not helping him at all, but was just probing his body to see if Li Gu's meridians were really severed.

If there are any unbroken pieces, he doesn't mind helping to cut them off.

Hehe, I'm just laughing!

Bai Yan's expression was serious: "Junior Brother Li, how exactly did you manage to circulate your energy?"

Li Gu wanted to open his mouth, but he couldn't. The meridians that controlled his vocal cords and mouth were completely severed, and he couldn't say a word.

The second senior brother said anxiously, "The method I taught him was clearly excellent; I used it myself to break through... He must have misunderstood, or he was too tense during the breakthrough and lost his balance. What should we do? Eldest senior sister, what can we do? How can we save him?"

Bai Yan sighed deeply: "There's no saving him! Two years ago, Junior Brother Zheng also suddenly went into a qi deviation when breaking through his bottleneck, just like Junior Brother Li. Now Junior Brother Zheng is still lying in the lonely house next door, unable to move, and no one has been able to save him."

"No! How can we not save him?" The second senior brother cried out in grief, "Junior Brother Li, say something! Move quickly..."

The second senior brother was usually a highly respected and kind person, but now he was crying so sadly. His junior brothers and sisters felt sorry for him, and several of them came over and gently comforted him, saying, "Second senior brother, don't be sad. This can only be blamed on junior brother Li's lack of good fortune."

"Junior Brother Li is a genius. He has progressed faster than many of his senior brothers. He reached the fifth level in just four years. What a pity... Alas, what a pity..." Several senior brothers sighed from the side.

"When Master returns to the valley and finds out about this, he will surely be very disappointed."

"Master has always placed high hopes on Junior Brother Li."

"Ugh!"

Li Gu was unable to move or speak. Listening to the discussions of his fellow disciples, it was as if he were watching a large-scale memorial service, except that the person being mourned was himself. This feeling was quite peculiar.

For some reason, in such situations, it's easier to understand the hidden meaning in what others are saying.

Of those senior students who expressed regret for their misfortune, only two-tenths were genuine regret, five-tenths were just polite words, and the remaining three-tenths seemed like schadenfreude.

As for those junior disciples who were heartbroken, eight out of ten of their sad expressions were due to the order of seniority, and only two out of ten were out of genuine sorrow for the passing of their fellow disciples.

Huh?

Does no one really feel sorry for me?

I always thought Hidden Flower Sect was a wonderful sect, where the senior and junior brothers loved each other and looked after one another like a family. Was it all just my imagination all along?

Oh!

By the way, once you graduate from Hidden Flower Sect, you must sever all ties with your sect and never return. You also cannot mention anything about your sect in the martial arts world. In other words, after you graduate, you become like strangers, just like cattle or horses resigning from a company and having no connection with their former colleagues once they leave the company.

There's absolutely no need for them to love each other.

Li Gu looked at his junior brother Fang, his roommate. Hadn't they developed any feelings for each other after all these years of living together?

Junior Brother Fang's face was ashen; he was very upset, and that expression was genuine.

Li Gu felt a sense of relief!

Just then, a mournful cry rang out from afar: "No! No! Senior Brother Li!"

Junior Sister Meng Ting stumbled and fell as she ran through the flowerbeds, smearing her clean clothes with mud and grass. She got up and kept running, forgetting to use her [Hidden Flower Movement Technique]. She stumbled and fell like an ordinary person, snatched Li Gu from her second senior brother's arms, and hugged him tightly. Tears streamed down Li Gu's face like a July downpour.

Meng Ting hugged Li Gu and burst into tears, screaming as she cried...

"Senior Brother Li...this is impossible!"

"How could Senior Brother Li have suffered a qi deviation?"

"Impossible! He's a genius! He learns everything so quickly, he's very serious about everything he does, and he's always been careful and cautious. How could he possibly have misused his inner energy? Absolutely impossible!"

Li Gu suddenly felt calm: Fortunately, Junior Brother Fang and Junior Sister Fang are saddened for me.

That's enough!

In this vast sea of ​​people, don't expect everyone to be kind to you. If you have two parents besides your own, you're already blessed from your past life.

The junior sister looked at Bai Yan and her second senior brother with pleading eyes: "Senior sister, second senior brother, is there really no way to save him? Is there absolutely no way? Even asking Master for help won't work? Master's abilities are boundless; if Master intervenes, he will definitely be able to save Senior Brother Li, he definitely can..."

She kept saying it was definitely possible, but her eyes were filled with despair.

Bai Yan sighed softly, unsure of what to say.

The second senior brother sighed, "We'll have to add a bed to the lonely room. Sigh! We'll put it next to Senior Brother Zheng. Junior Brother Fang and Junior Sister, you two will take good care of him from now on."
