It's possible to practice magic this way, right?

Lin Li felt that the magic power in this world was quite ethereal, untraceable yet very real. When you couldn't sense it, it was as if it didn't exist. There was no way to extract even a trace of magic power from the air, and there was no way to materialize it. But when you sensed it, it was real. When practicing, you could clearly feel that every part of your body was absorbing magic power from nowhere. The moment it entered your body, you could see it, and you could both control it and use it.

"By the way, do you know how magicians practice?" Lin Li asked Eudora.

"I heard that after awakening the spiritual sea, a spiritual power vortex will appear between the eyebrows. This vortex will slowly absorb magic power. Meditation on the law can increase one's spiritual power. I don't know the details."

Compared to the illusory magic, elements are much more intuitive. Water, fire, wind, thunder, ice, rock, wood, life, holy light, darkness, etc., these elements can be directly manifested and used. The most common is the magic core in the body of the monster. The magic core is a crystallization of an element. Powerful magicians can even release magic of the soul, spirit, time, space, etc.

Luca put down the kettle, picked up the food, and ate while asking, "Lin Li, how long do you think it will take to reach the intermediate level?"

"It should be soon. You should try harder and don't be left too far behind by me." Lin Li said confidently.

"We can't even decide who will come first."

After chatting with the brother and sister for a while, Val took them home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother, Elena, sitting on the sofa, tapping her legs with her hands, looking very tired. Seeing this, Lin Li walked up to her and tapped her legs gently and asked, "Are you shopping with the Viscountess again? Why don't you see Aunt Celis (the maid in the house, originally from Baron Ethan's family, and has always been brought by my mother), isn't she the one who usually gives you a massage when you are tired?"

"I came back a little late today, so I asked her to go cook first, because I was afraid you would be hungry when you got back."

Feeling that Alina was still very tired, Lin Li helped his mother take off her shoes and said, "Let me give you a massage today. Come and lie down on the sofa."

"You can also give massage?" Elina looked unconvinced, but still turned around and lay on the sofa.

"I guarantee you'll be comfortable." When Lin Li was in school in his previous life, the country was vigorously developing Traditional Chinese Medicine, and he followed the national policy and signed up for acupuncture and massage, a major in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Although he came to Luolan Continent inexplicably before graduation, he had studied for two years anyway, and he had memorized the acupuncture points on the human body, and of course he could perform simple massage with ease.

As he spoke, he began to press. Lin Li remembered that to relieve fatigue, he could press the Xuehai acupoint, Zusanli acupoint, Sanyinjiao acupoint, Yongquan acupoint, etc. While recalling the memories of his previous life in school, he helped his mother massage her legs. He thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had memorized the acupoints by heart at that time, and it had only been four years since he traveled through time. If it had been a few more years, he would have almost forgotten them.

After massaging for a while, Lin Li asked, "How comfortable is it? Is it better than Celise's?" I thought to myself that I had specially learned this technique.

"Yeah, it's really comfortable, even more comfortable than Celis's massage."

Lin Li picked up his mother's foot and said, "I'm going to press the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of her foot. It may be a little painful, so bear with it."

Elina first replied "OK" and then asked in confusion, "What is Yongquan acupoint?"

"Yongquan acupoint is an acupuncture point on the sole of the foot. Massaging here has many benefits for the body." Lin Li answered casually without stopping.

"What are acupoints? Why haven't I heard of them?" Elina was still puzzled.

Lin Li was startled when he heard this, thinking that maybe people in this world haven't discovered the existence of acupuncture points yet. He could only say casually, "This is what the teacher hired by the Viscount taught me."

"When I was a kid, I also had a special cultural teacher to teach me. How come I haven't heard of it before?"

Lin Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Maybe the teacher my grandfather hired is not very good."

"The meal is ready, Madam and Master, please come and have dinner." At this time, Celis' voice came.

Lin Li quickly said, "Let's eat first. I'm hungry." But he was at a loss for words when his mother asked him.

Elina was tired after a day of work and was hungry, so she didn't ask any more questions. She stood up and said, "You can teach Celis when you have time later. Wash your hands and eat. Don't starve."

After dinner, Lin Li began his evening practice. As he got older and his body got stronger, he could practice for a lot longer than before. It was not like the beginning when he would use up all his energy after practicing for an afternoon and could only go to bed early at night, otherwise he would not be able to recover the next day.

After finishing today's practice, Lin Li took a shower and lay in bed ready to sleep, thinking back to the time when he gave his mother a massage in the afternoon. It turned out that people in this world also didn't know the existence of acupuncture points. It was normal to think about it. In the past life, only the East had acupuncture points. It was not until modern times that Western countries learned about the existence of acupuncture points from Eastern traditional Chinese medicine. Even many people who studied Western medicine did not admit that the human body had acupuncture points and meridians.

This acupuncture point cannot be seen by the eyes, nor can it be detected by any instrument. Even if you cut the flesh at the acupuncture point, it will be exactly the same as other places. It is a bit like the magic of this world. Although it is invisible, it really exists.

Thinking of this, Lin Li was suddenly stunned. In the novels of the previous life, wasn't the cultivation all about storing the so-called Qi in the Dantian? The Dantian is divided into upper, middle and lower. The upper Dantian is located at the Yintang point between the eyebrows, the middle Dantian is located at the Tanzhong point on the chest, and the lower Dantian is located at the Guanyuan point three inches below the navel. In the previous life, those who practiced martial arts often said that they should sink the Qi into the Dantian. The Dantian here generally refers to the Guanyuan point of the lower Dantian, which is also called the Qi Sea.

Lin Li, who was lying on the bed, sat up instantly. He pressed his Sanyinjiao acupoint and felt a little sore and swollen. He also felt sore and swollen when he pressed Zusanli acupoint. When he pressed other places that were not acupoints, he didn't feel that way. It seems that the human body in this world has acupoints just like in the previous life, and the location should be no different.

In the previous life, the immortal cultivation novels all stored the Qi (spiritual energy, true Qi) gained from cultivation in the Dantian. Then the meridians were opened up to allow the Qi to flow through the meridians. The most common one is the Ren and Du meridians, followed by the eight extraordinary meridians.

Those true qi and spiritual qi did not exist in the previous life, they were probably all made up in the novel due to the plot. But internal martial arts did exist in the previous life, the most famous of which was Tai Chi. Lin Li's great grandfather knew how to do it and was quite good at it. He had always been the leading master of morning exercises in their community.

Although practicing internal martial arts doesn't allow one to fly over rooftops and walls, split mountains and walk across the sea like in novels, it can indeed prolong one's life. When Lin Li traveled through time, his great grandfather was already over 90 years old, and he was still healthy and energetic.

There was no spiritual energy in the previous life, but there is magic in this world. Can the magic be stored in the Dantian? Thinking of this, Lin Li was no longer sleepy. Now his face was full of excitement. If the magic was gathered in the Dantian like spiritual energy, could he fly like a fairy in the novels of the previous life, achieve the golden elixir, or even live forever?
