Sword from Songshan

Chapter 48: Qi Circulation
In addition to the internal force cultivated through the Songyang Heart Method, Lu Nanxing also has six streams of true qi in his body!
In fact, the six strands of true qi injected into his body by the Six Immortals of Taogu occurred before he learned the Songyang Heart Method.

If the twelve main meridians are compared to roads and the different kinds of true qi are compared to vehicles, and six vehicles are running on the twelve roads at the same time, how can we ensure that they do not collide?
At the beginning, the small wooden tripod used its absolute strength to forcibly restrict the six strands of true qi.

Whenever there is a clash of qi, stop or slow down a certain flow of qi, or simply redirect a certain flow of qi to avoid a collision.

As time went by, through repeated corrections, the number of conflicts among the six strands of true qi became less and less.

This is just like trial and error. By now, the small wooden tripod no longer needs to forcibly restrain the six strands of true qi. They flow through the twelve meridians according to their respective paths, perfectly avoiding each other.

In other words, under the effect of the small wooden tripod, the six different kinds of true qi have formed their own exclusive paths!

In order to absorb these six strands of true qi, Lu Nanxing needs to expand the meridians of the Songyang Heart Method, which requires additional guidance from the small wooden tripod. And the running paths of the six strands of true qi are derived from the guidance of the small wooden tripod.

The answer lies in the riddle?
Lu Nanxing couldn't help but wonder whether he could create a new internal strength method based on the Songyang Heart Method and combining it with the running paths of the six different kinds of true qi!

"Which one should I start with... Let's start with this one!"

As a man of action, Lu Nanxing has always been bold in thinking and acting, and he does it once he has thought it through!
The way is to start from the simple and then move on to the complex. He first chose a path of true Qi with the shortest travel path, and when it flowed into the Taiyin spleen meridian of the foot, he simultaneously practiced the Songyang Heart Method.

As this true qi flowed out of the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, Lu Nanxing continued to practice his skills, but did not enter the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian as before. Instead, he followed the true qi into the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian.

"Hmm~!"

The Songyang Heart Method originally operated according to the Taiyin spleen meridian of the foot and the Shaoyin heart meridian of the hand. Now that Lu Nanxing changed the path, he was out of breath. In serious cases, it can be said that he was possessed!
At this moment, I felt a stuffy and stabbing pain in my chest, and my blood and energy were surging violently!
Lu Nanxing groaned, his brows instantly wrinkled, and he quickly stopped practicing.

He kept rubbing his chest, and after a while, the depression finally eased. He let out a long breath and felt much better.

"It's not that easy..."

After making sure that he was not seriously injured, Lu Nanxing began to recall what had happened.

First of all, changing the exercise route is not as simple as he thought, and it can easily cause damage to the body.

In fact, it is much more than that.

Zuo Lengchan had been studying the Songyang Heart Technique for decades, and his own insights into martial arts had reached a certain level, so he dared to try to create a new heart technique.

But even so, he experienced countless failures and risked going astray many times before he created the secret method of hidden skills and icy true qi.

Lu Nanxing is just a beginner, yet he dares to try this, which is tantamount to playing with fire!
Fortunately, with the guidance of the small wooden tripod, the breath did not flow randomly or become stagnant, thus damaging the meridians.

Another thing is that it comes from the Taiyin spleen meridian of the foot. The spleen belongs to the earth element and is of a neutral nature. The true qi is usually not violent, so the damage is lighter.

"it should be OK!"

After a moment, Lu Nanxing's eyes flickered and he suddenly looked excited.

Although he suffered a small loss, he did practice according to the new path just now, which means that his idea is indeed feasible!
Following the guidance of the strange true energy from the small wooden tripod, he might be able to expand on the Songyang Heart Method and create a new internal energy method!

However, opening up a new path is inevitably obscure and difficult.

But Lu Nanxing believed that as long as he tried a few more times, he would be able to do it smoothly.

It’s like a mountain road. The more you walk on it, the easier it becomes to walk on it.

But today it’s not possible. Although my qi and blood have gradually recovered, there is still some damage to my body, which requires recuperation and recovery.

Next, Lu Nanxing stopped acting recklessly and continued to practice according to the orthodox meridian path of the Songyang Heart Method.

……

"Come again!"

The next day, Lu Nanxing, whose body had fully recovered, tried again.

It was still the shortest path, still from the Spleen Meridian of the Foot to the Pericardium Meridian of the Hand.

The result was the same as yesterday. When the meridians changed, a heavy and stagnant feeling made Lu Nanxing feel extremely uncomfortable in his chest.

But compared to yesterday, I am more familiar with it, so it seems to be easier this time, and the damage to my body is not as severe.

Realizing this, Lu Nanxing's eyes lit up, further confirming what he was thinking!
He simply made a concerted effort, then gritted his teeth and continued to follow the alien true qi, completing the entire Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian.

However, when it came to the next meridian, the stagnation and difficulty became more than ten times stronger, just like hitting a huge rock!

"Pfft~!"

Caught off guard, Lu Nanxing's blood surged violently, as if he was hit in the chest with a heavy hammer, and he opened his mouth and spurted out large mouthfuls of blood.

Buzz~!

At the same time, the small wooden tripod vibrated violently, and a large amount of toxic energy surged out in an instant.

"...Nima."

It took him a long while to recover. Lu Nanxing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, still feeling scared.

I have to say, practicing Qigong is indeed dangerous!
"hey-hey."

But then, Lu Nanxing started laughing for no apparent reason again.

Fortunately, Xiao Mu Ding will take action!
The small wooden tripod guided and released the energy in time, so that his inner energy did not continue to flow wildly, and the damage to his body was stopped at this point.

The existence of the small wooden tripod is like an internal strength master, monitoring Lu Nanxing's internal strength in real time and making corrections at critical moments.

"Great."

Before, Lu Nanxing was most worried about getting a stitch in the side, which would cause great damage to his body.

Under normal circumstances, any change in the internal skills requires the protection of an internal skills master.

If Lu Nanxing were to look for someone to protect him in Songshan, he would have to be at least at the level of the Thirteen Guardians.

As a master, Zuo Lengchan definitely did not have the time. After all, even the teaching of martial arts was done by Zuo Feiying.

As for the other people, Lu Nanxing was not familiar with them, so how could he dare to entrust his life and property to them easily?

Another thing is, if someone else were to protect him, they would inevitably discover the strange kind of true energy in his body. The fact that six kinds of true energy can coexist peacefully is bound to arouse suspicion.

If the small wooden tripod were exposed, it would be very bad.

With no other options, Lu Nanxing had to bite the bullet and try it himself. Although he was crossing the river by feeling the stones, he thought that if he was cautious, there shouldn't be too many problems.

Now it seems that he was totally wrong. He must not be careless at all when practicing Qigong.

But fortunately, there is the small wooden tripod.

"Let's talk about it in a few days."

With the small wooden tripod as a guardian, Lu Nanxing can rest assured.

Even if a stitch in the side causes damage to the body, at most it will cause vomiting of blood, and it will not endanger life or cause serious injuries.

Without any worries, Lu Nanxing began to try and explore again and again.

As time goes by, amidst repeated failures and setbacks, the path becomes clearer and clearer.
