The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Zeng Wenyu, who had previously thought that he would be able to successfully ascend to the pinnacle of life after traveling through time, suddenly became dispirited. God gave him a body that was very suitable for refining Qi, but played a joke on him in his Dantian. Isn't this like building a highway and then telling you that the destination is a big pit!

"Ahem, old boy, don't be discouraged. Look at how spacious your meridians are. As long as you can repair your Dantian... forget it, I can't make it up anymore. Don't be afraid, old boy. Even if your Dantian is broken, you are still my disciple, Shen Xuzi. Even though we have nothing in the Sui Xin Sect, we are loyal! We... will take care of you until the end of your life! And don't be discouraged. You can still try our Qi refining method. What if... what if you can succeed without a Dantian?" After Shen Xuzi finished speaking, he took out a thin book from his arms and handed it to Zeng Wenyu, "Look, this is our Sui Xin Sect's Qi refining method. Why don't you try it now? Your teacher can also give you some pointers."

"Master, you said that my Dantian is broken, and there is no way for the true qi to be gathered into the Dantian and stored. Then what's the point of me refining this qi? Just... let the true qi pass through my meridians and then escape into the world in a more refined way? Then wouldn't I be a purer device..."

Shen Xuzi didn't know what to say after hearing what I said, but the eldest brother sitting on the futon couldn't stand what I said. He frowned and said in a serious voice, "Little Junior Brother, what you said is wrong. You should know that God rewards hard work. Even if the true energy can't keep anything after traveling around your meridians, it can still help you strengthen your body! Moreover, the true energy between heaven and earth has various functions, maybe it can repair your Dantian!"

"Well, the boss is right. There are all kinds of true qi between heaven and earth. You never know which one can help you slowly repair your Dantian." Shen Xuzi nodded. "As long as your life is long enough, the true qi will be able to repair your body. Then you will be able to practice!"

Under the gazes of his senior brother and master, Zeng Wenyu finally nodded. He opened the mental method in his hand and read it carefully. After memorizing all the mental methods in it, he posed with his five hearts facing the sky according to the posture drawn on the mental method, and began to guide the true energy flowing between heaven and earth into his body according to the content of the mental method.

Zeng Wenyu, who was originally restless due to the inability to practice, calmed down quickly with his eyes closed and felt his surroundings carefully. After calming down, he felt that there were many things like water flowing around him. Although he didn't know where these water flows came from, he knew that this should be the so-called "true qi".

According to what was written in the mental method, he began to try to guide the true qi into his body. However, it was difficult for him to change the direction of those seemingly small streams. Only the true qi that was as thick as a hair around him was separated from the true qi streams, and some finer true qi entered his body through the acupoints.

Controlling that strand of true Qi to flow along the meridians, the true Qi that entered his body was very obedient. After flowing along the meridians in his body for a circle, it penetrated into his Dantian. Then... the true Qi seemed a little confused. Why did it run out of Zeng Wenyu's body when it had clearly entered the Dantian and should have settled down in the Dantian?

Just like two little animals that had been playing together for a long time, the strand of true Qi looked back at Zeng Wenyu reluctantly before merging into a thick stream of true Qi and flowing towards the distance together with the thick stream of true Qi.

Zeng Wenyu really felt comfortable when that trace of true energy was flowing through his meridians, but when the true energy flowed out of his dantian, he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if his body had been hollowed out, leaving only emptiness.

He opened his eyes and looked at his master and senior brothers and sisters from the Sui Xin Sect who were nervously paying attention to him. He shook his head helplessly: "Master, it seems that I really can't refine my Qi anymore. Should I just stay in our Sui Xin Sect and wait for death?"

When he said this, both Master Shen Xuzi and the eldest senior brother sighed deeply. Shen Xuzi even beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying something like "He is obviously the disciple with the most talent for cultivation, but I didn't expect his Dantian to leak."

"Wait a minute? Master and senior brother, come here, both of you," when everyone was sighing, only the second senior sister had an excited look on her face. She handed Shen Xuzi and the eldest senior brother aside and whispered something.

"Are you serious? You're not lying to us, are you?"

Shen Xuzi, who was called aside, kept exclaiming when he heard what the second senior sister said. Even the eldest senior brother had a look of surprise on his face. After a while, the three of them finished talking and walked back. The second senior sister looked at Zeng Wenyu in front of her and said, "Alas... Junior brother, you really can't practice Qi anymore. I'm so sorry..."

Hearing what the second sister said, Zeng Wenyu's face fell, and the disappointment was uncontrollable on his face. He kept muttering in his heart: Zhuo! Others who traveled through time either had the system or the grandfather, but why did I end up with such a body with a broken dantian!

Just when he was silently thinking that he would probably just live a life of idleness and waiting for death in the sect, the second sister lifted his chin with her index finger and said, "But little brother, if we can't refine Qi, we can refine the body. Although the Tianyi Continent is full of Qi-refining cultivators and the body-refining has long been in decline, it's not impossible to refine it!"

Second Senior Sister's words rekindled Zeng Wenyu's hope. He raised his head suddenly, and the finger of Second Senior Sister hooked on his chin could not catch up with the speed of his raising his head: "Second Senior Sister, what do you mean, I can still practice? But I have to be a non-mainstream person in the future?"

"Non-mainstream? What kind of word is that? But you can still practice, little brother, but..."

"Hahahahahaha, I knew I could definitely practice. Second Senior Sister, don't say anything. I'll just practice my body. As long as I can practice, that's fine!"

"Okay, since you have such a plan," the second sister did not get angry at being interrupted by Zeng Wenyu. She looked at the excited Zeng Wenyu and nodded. Then she turned to look at the eldest brother, "Eldest brother, please find the records about body training from our collection of books. After all, we are all Qi training, and the methods of body training can only be found in those books."

Seeing the eldest senior brother walking towards the place where the books of the Sui Xin Sect were stored outside the main hall, the second senior sister turned around and said to Zeng Wenyu: "Little junior brother, I know you are very excited to continue practicing, but I want to tell you that body training is very torturous, and the upper limit of body training is not as high as that of Qi training. If you can't find another way..."

"Sister! Please stop talking!" Zeng Wenyu covered his ears with his hands. "Sister, if you keep talking, I won't be able to make up my mind to practice body cultivation! So please stop talking!"

Zeng Wenyu's words filled the second sister's face with smiles. She stretched out her hands to pry open Zeng Wenyu's hands that were covering his ears: "Don't worry, little brother. Even if you want to give up, I won't let you. I will be behind you to encourage you!"
