Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 51: Five Qis Returning to Origin
After eating, Li Jun still had to go to class.

However, Lin Ye received special permission and is now basically free to arrange his own time.

Forget about leveling up in the abandoned city.

However, he can also choose to directly practice the cultivation techniques and gain experience points.

Lin Ye walked straight to the comprehensive training room and swiped the key to his own gravity chamber.

The heavy alloy door slowly closed behind us, shutting out all the noise from the outside world.

Lin Ye sat cross-legged in the center of the gravity chamber, with the "Five Qi Guiding Techniques" that carried Chen Meng's hard work and expectations spread out in front of him.

He didn't rush to start.

Instead, he closed his eyes and mentally reviewed the general outline of the technique and Chen Meng's annotations, word by word.

This was not the first time he had studied the cultivation method, but each time he studied it, he gained new insights.

The complexity and subtlety of this technique far surpasses that of the "Basic Body Strengthening Method".

The Basic Body Strengthening Method is a pure inward exploration. It involves pushing physical limits, squeezing out vital energy and blood, and forcing the body to undergo supercompensation to achieve the goal of strengthening itself.

However, the "Five Qi Guiding Techniques" is a completely different path.

It emphasizes both internal and external cultivation, with the core being "guidance" and "nurturing".

It draws the energy of heaven and earth into the body and uses external force to temper the internal organs.

It nourishes the Qi of the five internal organs and six bowels, and in turn replenishes the Qi and blood of the whole body.

This is a complete and continuous energy cycle system that can even evolve.

Having grasped the core concept, Lin Ye took a deep breath and began his first formal cultivation practice.

Following the instructions of the technique, he emptied his mind and tried to sense the omnipresent "source energy" between heaven and earth.

One minute.

five minutes.

ten minutes.

All around, there was still a deathly silence and darkness.

Nothing at all.

He couldn't feel anything.

Lin Ye frowned slightly.

wrong.

His approach was wrong.

He was still thinking in the same way he did in the "Basic Body Strengthening Method," trying to use brute force to perceive.

The source of energy is a subtle thing, like spring rain nourishing all things; it requires divine inspiration rather than forceful pursuit.

Chen Meng's annotation clearly states: "If the heart is pure as ice, one will not be alarmed even if the sky falls."

Lin Ye adjusted his breathing, forcing himself to forget the anxiety in his heart, forget his father's right leg, and forget the three-month deadline.

His consciousness gradually sank into an endless void.

I do not know how long it has been.

He "saw" it.

In his perceived world, the space that was originally empty began to appear with countless tiny particles emitting various colors of light.

They are like fireflies on a summer night, sparse yet truly drifting slowly in the darkness.

This is the source of energy!
The first step was a success!

Lin Ye was overjoyed, but he quickly suppressed his excitement.

He began to try to discern the properties of these light spots, as instructed in the manual.

He quickly discovered the pattern.

Those emanating a white light, carrying a sharp and piercing feel, are the aura of sharp metal.

It radiates a bluish light, full of life and rhythm; it is the aura of green wood.

The energy that radiates a black glow and gives a feeling of gentleness and lingering warmth is the energy of Gui water.

It radiates a crimson light, violent and intense, and is the aura of the Fire of Li.

And those that radiate a yellow light, thick and heavy, are the Qi of Earth.

The five elements, though distinct, intermingle and form the most fundamental energy rules of this world.

Lin Ye's consciousness cautiously reached out, like an invisible hand, trying to draw in the nearest wisp of crimson fire energy. That wisp of fire energy obediently followed him, flowing into his body.

However, the moment this wisp of fire energy entered the body, the four energies of green wood, water, earth, and metal, which were originally calm, became violent and chaotic, like a disturbed swarm of bees!
They collided and repelled each other, forming a chaotic energy turbulence.

Lin Ye felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had been hit hard by an invisible hammer!

Breathing attempt failed!
And it backfired.

Lin Ye felt his blood and qi reversed, his eyes bulged, and his head felt like it was about to explode.

Indeed, one must be even more careful when cultivating a skill to a high level, because one wrong move can lead to the legendary "qi deviation" or "demonic possession".

For an ordinary person, this would probably mean stopping training for the day.

However, the mechanism of recovering health after disengaging from combat gave Lin Ye the courage to continue trying.

Lin Ye did not rush into a second attempt.

Instead, he fell into thought.

Before long, Lin Ye's eyes lit up.

The five elements (Wu Xing) are mutually generating and mutually restraining, forming a unified whole.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

Introducing a single breath into the body will only disrupt the existing balance, causing all energy to run rampant.

It is necessary to... draw in all five elements simultaneously, and maintain a delicate balance between them the moment they enter the body!
Lin Ye closed his eyes again, this time becoming even more cautious.

His consciousness split into five strands, like five of the finest spider silk, simultaneously reaching out to five different types of source energy particles.

He was like a beginner juggling apprentice trying to juggle five balls of completely different materials, weights, and properties at the same time, which is incredibly difficult.

failure.

failure.

Another failure.

These three attempts either resulted in too much metal energy or too little water energy.

Those five energies were like five unruly wild horses, impossible to control simultaneously.

Each failure brought a small backlash, causing him to feel a stinging pain in his internal organs.

Half an hour slipped by quietly amidst repeated failures and attempts.

Inside the gravity chamber, fine beads of sweat had appeared on Lin Ye's forehead, but his mind was more focused than ever before, even with his eyes tightly closed.

In his world of perception, five streams of air, each a different color but exactly the same thickness, were finally drawn together by him in perfect rhythm and slowly merged into his body!
boom!
The moment the five energies entered the body, they did not go berserk as before, but instead, under his guidance, formed a tiny, interconnected ring.

Metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal!

A perfect cycle of the five elements was quietly formed within his body!

Immediately afterwards, this cycle began to operate on its own according to the route of the "Five Qi Guiding Techniques", flowing through his limbs and bones, refining every drop of his qi and blood.

An indescribable sense of comfort emanates from within.

[Ding! You have gained 3 experience points from practicing the Five Qi Guiding Technique!]

[Ding! You have gained 3 experience points from practicing the Five Qi Guiding Technique!]

Every ten seconds or so, the system notification tone will sound as scheduled.

Lin Ye's every breath became long and deep, and a faint wisp of white vapor was even visible in his nostrils.

He did a rough calculation.

As long as he can maintain this state of cultivation, the experience he gains in an hour is almost as fast as the experience he gains from slaughtering those mutated beasts in the outer ring of the ruined city!

But this is only theoretical.

The difficulty in cultivation lies in perseverance.

Just as he was trying to adopt a contorted posture according to the exercise manual in order to circulate his qi more efficiently, an accident occurred.

With his mind focused on two things at once, his already tense spirit began to relax slightly.

The control over the balance of the five elements in the body was momentarily disrupted.

That fragile cycle that had just been established collapsed with a bang!
Lin Ye groaned again and pulled himself out of his cultivation state.

Lin Ye immediately realized his new weakness.

His mental energy is insufficient!
