Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

If he were to become some kind of supernatural being, the family business would probably be ruined.

"Oh? A single lineage? That's why your father didn't want you to become an extraordinary person. He had good intentions. Young friend, don't worry, I don't mind. Besides, you haven't even reached the basics of learning the Eight Directions Reversal yet. You still need to learn the method of obtaining Qi first."

Wang Yaozu narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

This kid is dressed in fancy clothes, clearly from a wealthy family, and he's also the only son in his lineage. Although superhumans are much more powerful than ordinary people, many of them have also lived a life of danger.

It's definitely not as comfortable as being a wealthy man.

It's understandable that his father stopped him from becoming an Outcast.

"So, according to you, I can only find time to come see you. If my dad finds out that I'm secretly learning these supernatural people's methods, he'll probably spank me."

Chen Yuan pretended to be puzzled.

Although becoming a rich second-generation heir after transmigrating is a good thing, he transmigrated into the world of "Under One Person". It would be a pity if he didn't learn Qi cultivation and superpowers.

However, he can now learn Qi cultivation, although he is learning it behind his father's back.

Chapter 4 Breathing Techniques

"It's alright, I'm available anytime. I've traveled all over the country, so it's all the same to me. I'll just rent a house near Lingyin Temple. You can come and find me when you have time."

Wang Yaozu said slowly.

He naturally didn't mind when Chen Yuan started learning from him; the kid hadn't laid a solid foundation yet, and haste makes waste.

"Then, Elder Wang, why don't you teach me the method of obtaining Qi now?"

Chen Yuan chuckled.

Although he could sense the innate Qi within his body, he didn't quite know how to circulate it.

Moreover, the distinction between superhumans and ordinary people is very strict.

Even if you can sense the "Qi" within your body, it doesn't mean you are an extraordinary person.

The definition of an "Outsider" is someone who has mastered "supernatural abilities"; only then can one be considered a true Outsider.

Extraordinary people are also divided into those with innate extraordinary abilities and those with acquired extraordinary abilities.

Innate extraordinary individuals are those who can sense and use the Qi within their bodies at birth; this is a passive awakening. Examples include Mei Jinfeng, Xu San, and Feng Shayan, who awakened their talents at birth.

Acquired extraordinary individuals require cultivation or guidance to perceive and utilize Qi. Examples include Zhang Chulan, Wang Ye, and Zhuge Qing.

Most people with innate supernatural abilities cannot cultivate acquired techniques and can only rely on their own self-taught abilities. For example, Feng Shayan cannot inherit the ability to control spirits and command generals.

However, there are a few exceptions, such as Gao Erzhuang, who is a naturally gifted individual and is able to cultivate the Wu Liu School's techniques.

Acquired extraordinary individuals can freely choose the cultivation methods that suit them and inherit powerful techniques, such as the Golden Light Mantra of Longhu Mountain, the Reverse Life Triple of Sanyi, and the Seventy-Two Arts of Shaolin Temple.

Those born with extraordinary abilities are naturally capable of self-cultivation, and with proper guidance, they may progress even faster.

Although those who develop extraordinary abilities later in life have a later start, they have greater potential for development, can master a variety of techniques, and have a higher ceiling.

"Hehe, kid, today I'll teach you how to obtain Qi! Follow me!"

Wang Yaozu turned and walked toward the side of Bixi Bridge.

He was also eager for Chen Yuan to learn his "Reversing the Eight Directions" technique as soon as possible.

However, this requires first learning basic breathing techniques and methods of circulating Qi before one can learn supernatural abilities.

"Mr. Wang, then I'll leave it to you."

Chen Yuan's eyes darted around, and he quickly followed.

Although I was still wet and felt a bit uncomfortable.

But the thought of learning the method of circulating qi naturally filled Chen Yuan with excitement.

"This kid is quite interesting. I didn't expect Old Wang to actually find a successor. We should tell the Evil Immortal and the others!"

Yuan Jingui stared at Che Yuan and Wang Yaozu's backs, a sly look on his face, before disappearing into the crowd near Lingyin Temple.

Before long, Chen Yuan and Wang Yaozu arrived at the other side of Bixi Bridge. There was an open space there, but not many people were around, except for a few little kids playing nearby.

"Boy, do you know what Qi is?"

Wang Yaozu looked at Chen Yuan with an air of nonchalance.

"Old Wang, I've heard some of this from those supernatural beings. In addition to inheriting the flesh and blood given by their parents, life also inherits the abstract energy of the previous generation—the innate Qi, which is what you call Qi, right?"

This energy allows the inheritor to grow, to think, and to transform from a mindless being into a sentient being. It is also its disappearance that forces the inheritor to rely on other forms of energy, which can only delay the depletion of energy until the innate Qi is exhausted and the inheritor dies.

The so-called extraordinary people and the special abilities cultivated by practitioners are all changes and manifestations of the primordial Qi.

Chen Yuan smiled.

As a transmigrator who had read through "Under One Person," he was aware of this.

"Kid, you know quite a lot. That's right. When a person is born, the innate Qi manifests in the limbs and bones. It is because of the innate Qi in our bodies that we can develop and grow."

One of the differences between extraordinary individuals and ordinary people is whether they can sense the primordial Qi within their bodies, known as Qi perception. Being able to manipulate this wisp of primordial Qi through consciousness and techniques, circulating it throughout the meridians, is called Qi circulation.

Wang Yaozu grinned, then opened his left hand, revealing a wisp of transparent Qi flowing in his palm.

Ordinary people around could not see it.

But Chen Yuan was different. He already had a sense of Qi, and it was unclear whether it was a benefit of his time travel, but he was able to see Wang Yaozu's Qi.

"Old Wang, is this your Qi? It was originally colorless and transparent."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the wisp of colorless Qi in Wang Yaozu's hand.

He knew that the colors of the Qi on different people were different, perhaps because of the cultivation methods they practiced, or because of their personality traits.

"Boy, can you see my Qi?"

Wang Yaozu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Only those who have developed Qi perception can see the Qi on his body. Chen Yuan probably hasn't practiced it, but unexpectedly he already has Qi perception.

Could this kid be born with a spiritual root?

"Elder Wang, I'm quite lucky; I seem to be able to sense the existence of primordial Qi within my body. Although I can't draw upon much, I can still draw upon some. Naturally, I can also see the Qi within you!"

Chen Yuan shrugged and then spoke frankly.

After all, there's no need to hide something like this.

Besides, since the old man is going to pass on his skills, the two of them need to treat each other with sincerity.

"Hehe, kid, you really are born with spiritual talent. As long as you learn from me properly, you will definitely be able to establish your own sect in the future! Since you have already developed a sense of Qi, I don't need to teach you how to sense Qi first. I will teach you how to circulate Qi now."

The so-called "circulation of Qi" naturally requires first acquiring Qi. Take *Journey to the West* as an example: everyone knows the crescent moon and three stars represent the heart, but few may notice that the monkey entered the path of cultivation only after seeing the pine tree; he transformed into the pine tree and emerged as a master of cultivation. Relaxation and controlled breathing are the introductory lessons for all schools of cultivation! Therefore, breathing is especially important!

A glint flashed in Wang Yaozu's eyes, and he immediately manipulated the wisp of colorless and transparent Qi to condense and transform in front of him.

"Journey to the West? Could it be the original meaning of Journey to the West? Breathing!? Relaxation and freedom? So there's such a story behind it. Although this old man is a member of the Quanxing sect, he seems to know quite a lot."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He remembered that in the Biyou Village chapter, Liu Dang, who was originally an ordinary person, wanted to become an extraordinary person. He followed that blacksmith to learn breathing techniques, but unfortunately, he did not have the aptitude, so no matter how hard he practiced, he could not succeed.

"That's right. However, even if you master breathing, it doesn't mean you've truly attained Qi. Take Journey to the West as an example. It's not enough to just enter the Three Star Cave and have enough blood and Qi to cultivate. You need five years to build your foundation and seven years to face the wall in meditation before you're qualified to enter the inner sanctum. In other words, perseverance alone isn't enough. You also need to use your perseverance in the right place to truly enter the realm of the extraordinary."

So what is obtaining Qi? Besides the physical body, one must constantly refine Qi, training it into various controllable and abstract forms, and being able to freely mobilize the Qi and blood. This shaping process is how one avoids the powerful spells—transformations—encountered in various cultivation practices.

A glint flashed in Wang Yaozu's eyes, and the Qi in his hand immediately deformed!

Chapter 5 Prodigy

"I see. So, once Sun Wukong obtained the incantation, he could naturally understand everything and master all seventy-two transformations! Elder Wang, am I right?"

Chen Yuan's eyes darted around, and he seemed to understand.

He had read "Journey to the West" before his time travel, so understanding Wang Yaozu's words wasn't too difficult for him.

For example, the thunder magic of Longhu Mountain transforms the five elements into thunder and lightning, while the reverse birth of the three elements applies the elements to the physical body, transforming the physical body into the primordial element.

These changes are all produced by specific training of Qi, namely the routes and breathing methods of the exercises. Because the methods are different, the changes are also different.

"Young man, you're right. Although the different schools of Qi cultivation differ, the principles are the same. For example, the Thunder Magic and Golden Light Mantra of Longhu Mountain, and the Seventy-Two Arts of Shaolin Temple..."

Wang Yaozu grinned.

This kid is truly a prodigy.

He only needed to explain it briefly, and he was immediately able to apply the knowledge to other situations.

He truly deserves the spur of his eye.

interesting!

This kid's future achievements will definitely surpass his.

"Uncle Wang, I understand."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

Just as he guessed.

Acquired cultivation techniques can transform one's innate Qi, merging it with acquired Qi to create a variety of variations, which in turn become the various supernatural abilities of different schools.

The "reversal of the eight directions" that he wants to learn also involves changing the Qi to form magnetic force, which is the so-called "human magnetic field".

"Kid, don't be too proud. This method is easy to know, but it still takes a lot of effort to cultivate. You need to toughen your body and temper your mind. If you don't grit your teeth and persevere, it's easy to lose all your previous efforts."

Wang Yaozu snorted.

This kid has the talent, but he's still too green. He's a little afraid that Chen Yuan will give up easily after encountering setbacks, so he has to suppress his arrogance in advance to prevent him from becoming too proud.

After all, the skills of those with supernatural abilities are not so easy to master.

If you can't endure hardship, you can't become an extraordinary person.

"Old Wang, don't worry, I'm a person who always puts my heart and soul into what I do and is willing to endure hardship. If I give up, you can spank me!"

Chen Yuan smiled.

"Stop joking, kid. I'll teach you the breathing technique first, but it requires standing meditation!"

Wang Yaozu narrowed his eyes and circulated his Qi.
