I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 46 The Beginning of Cultivation: One Hundred Days of Foundation Building
After confirming that breathing rhythm could indeed affect vital energy, Li Boyang quickly discovered a new problem.

That is, one's own situation is very special and cannot be used as a normal template for reference.

Even excluding the influence of the gnat curse.

Before he was born, Li Boyang had absorbed enough "innate Qi" to develop his body and his potential far exceeded that of a normal human being.

From the perspective of the third eye, the surging life force within Li Boyang's body was as intense and powerful as a furnace fire.

In contrast, the eldest daughter suffers from hunger and thirst year after year.

The vital energy within the body is so weak that it's like a flame that could be extinguished at any moment.

Li Boyang only needed to make a simple adjustment to his breathing to clearly notice the changes in the flow of vital energy.

However, the same breathing rhythm made the flow of vital energy in the eldest daughter even weaker.

Left with no other choice, Li Boyang could only use the eldest daughter as a model and teach her step by step how to regulate the vital energy in her body.

Let's start with eating.

The goal is to eat well and be full, but not to overeat because of greed.

Xi Luo's contribution was the most obvious in this process.

The meat and herbs from wild animals in the mountains and forests provided the young girl, who was already in her developmental stage, with the best nutritional supplements.

Secondly, Li Boyang made targeted changes to Da Yatou's daily routine and behavior patterns.

For children who are naturally playful, this is undoubtedly the most challenging part.

Fortunately, we have Li Boyang's carrot and stick training method.

After passing through the initial stage, the vital energy within the eldest daughter's body quickly underwent a qualitative transformation.

While learning the second edition of "Exercise-Based Vital Energy Regulation Breathing Method", Da Yatou experienced for the first time the feeling of vital energy flowing in her body.

The ever-growing life force could finally be clearly felt without Li Boyang's guidance or reminders.

The eldest daughter was happy about this for almost half a month.

Once you can feel the flow of life energy, the rest will fall into place.

Drawing upon the meridians and alchemical theories of my previous life, and incorporating my own trial-and-error experience.

Li Boyang taught the eldest maid to bind the flowing life energy within her meridians, instead of letting it dissipate meaninglessly from her body.

Of course, it's not that Li Boyang didn't want to get it done in one step and directly have the eldest girl channel her life energy into her dantian.

To Li Boyang's astonishment, not everyone was born with clear meridians like he was.

As long as one is human, physical defects and ailments are inevitable.

These defects and imperfections can affect the permeability of the meridians—where there is free flow, there is no pain; where there is pain, there is no free flow.

This is a very simple common sense principle in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is the same in the world.

Therefore, in order to unblock the meridians in the eldest daughter's body that were no longer clear due to various reasons.

Li Boyang used a combination of methods, including exercise, dietary supplements, and health care, to tailor a special training program that uses exercise to change breathing rhythm.

This process took about a year.

Finally, the eldest daughter's life energy was able to circulate smoothly, barely forming a basic cycle.

Since then, even without Li Boyang's help, Da Yatou has been able to transform her body's Qi and blood into vital energy, which she then channeled into her Dantian through the meridian system.

It was also from that day on that the eldest daughter gradually revealed a side of herself that was different from ordinary people.

Unobstructed meridians mean good health and freedom from illness.

The girl, who was originally skinny and sickly, grew stronger at a visible speed.

The various meats and herbs that the eldest daughter ate were also transformed into nutrients for her growth with extremely high efficiency.

Carrying Li Boyang across the mountains and fields became a daily routine for Da Yatou during that period. Wild animals in the mountains encountered Da Yatou during that time.

Let alone preying on each other, they're lucky if they don't get caught and beaten up.

Cunning as a fox, swift as a leopard, fierce as a tiger, strong as an ox, brutal as a bear...

This is the eldest girl who has completed the first stage of cultivation—a "Qi cultivator" who is already skilled at binding life energy within her body.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

“I call this ‘refining essence into qi’, and this stage is called ‘100-day foundation building’.”

“People like us are born divine and have abundant innate energy, so we skip this stage at birth.”

"But for an ordinary person like Big Girl to reach our level..."

"One must return to one's original nature and transform from an acquired body back into an innate body."

Xi Luo decisively blocked out the words she couldn't understand in Li Boyang's words and interpreted "refining essence into qi" in her own way.

"Simply put, you created a 'superhuman' through your own efforts."

"Although this supernatural being does not possess any innate supernatural abilities, his physical attributes have indeed reached the level of a spirit or monster."

Xi Luo had just finished muttering to herself when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait, wasn't that what I just asked?"

"This girl's physical abilities have long surpassed those of spirits and monsters, and are even not much worse than mine?"

Ordinary spirits and monsters may be much stronger than wild beasts.

But they could never climb, jump, and scale cliffs like the eldest daughter, treating the precipice as nothing.

"So this is what I added to the seventh edition of the breathing method—how to properly utilize vital energy."

Li Boyang shook his head smugly; this was a new idea that suddenly came to him after a moment of inspiration.

“Binding one’s vital energy into the meridians can indeed subtly strengthen one’s body and even make one less prone to aging than the average person.”

"But those are ultimately just passive effects, not the active use of life force."

“Unlike you and me, the eldest girl isn’t blessed by heaven and earth, and her vital energy doesn’t actively respond to our thoughts and ideas, thus uncovering her own unique innate abilities…”

"So, how exactly should she actively use that life force?"

After a slight pause, Li Boyang looked at Xi Luo, who was deep in thought, and continued to explain.

"The answer is the conscious and active control of the flow of life energy..."

"Then let those vital energies break free from the shackles of the meridians and return to the body."

"The vital energy of life originates from the flesh and blood, and is a product of the purification of blood and qi energy."

"So allowing vital energy to actively circulate within the body to replace the function of blood and qi can naturally greatly enhance physical strength and self-healing speed."

"Moreover, during the flow of life energy, a special effect similar to 'protective aura' will be generated on the surface of the young lady's body."

As Li Boyang spoke, he raised his hand.

An invisible protective sword aura covered his palm, revealing a sharpness capable of cutting through steel and iron.

"That 'protective aura' is not as domineering and sharp as the 'protective sword aura'..."

"But that's enough to ensure that even if she falls off a cliff, she won't die instantly."

"For you and me, this is just an instinct we are born with."

"But for the eldest daughter, this is a skill that can only be learned through arduous training."
