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

Zeng Wenyu looked at the pancake with vegetables in it that Nannan handed to him. He took the pancake and took a bite of it. Zeng Wenyu thought that the dishes chosen by Nannan were quite good and tasted good when sandwiched in the pancake.

Holding the cake in his hand and chewing it, Zeng Wenyu suddenly had an idea and felt as if he had grasped something. But the next second, this feeling became illusory and seemed to be gradually fading away from him.

Staring at the cake in his hand, Zeng Wenyu kept trying to catch that bit of spiritual light, but the spiritual light was getting farther and farther away from him and was about to disappear.

"I didn't expect that when you combine several dishes together, they become even more delicious than when eaten separately!"

Zeng Wenyu turned his head and looked at Zhang Qing who was talking. She was holding the same cake as his in her hand and was eating it very happily. When she saw Zeng Wenyu looking at her, she happily raised her hand to show him the cake in her hand.

"Qingqing, what did you just say?"

"What did I say? I said the pancake Nannan gave me was delicious."

"No, that's what I said before. You also said something else before!"

"Hmm... several dishes combined together?"

"Yes! That's right! I clearly got the inspiration, why didn't I think of it! Nannan, you and Qingqing are amazing!" If he hadn't been holding the cake in his hand, Zeng Wenyu would have wanted to hug them both, "You two eat first, I think I've found the direction of cultivation, I'll go upstairs first."

Zeng Wenyu hurried upstairs, opened the door of the room and activated the spirit gathering array. Usually, this array was activated for Zhang Qing's practice. Zeng Wenyu's qi and blood power for physical training were not used at all, but he needed the spirit gathering array to help him now.

Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, feeling the true energy gathered outside the body by the spirit gathering array, Zeng Wenyu began to guide the spiritual energy into his body, and at the same time mobilized the qi and blood in his body, allowing the two forces to reach the acupuncture points on his arm together.

The power of Qi and blood and the true Qi were clearly separated beside his acupuncture points. The two forces each had their own territory, and even if they came into contact with each other, they did not merge.

Zeng Wenyu knew that the next step was the key point, and whether his guess would be successful depended on the next operation.

Drawing out a trace of true Qi and a trace of Qi and blood at the same time, Zeng Wenyu began to try to compress the two forces together. However, the two forces were two systems after all. Zeng Wenyu pressed them tightly together, but the two forces were always you you and I was me, just like water and oil, and refused to merge.

Since the two forces cannot be compressed together, Zeng Wenyu chose to try another approach.

That trace of true energy and that trace of qi and blood began to slowly rotate in his meridians, just like the yin and yang fish in Tai Chi, constantly rotating.

Zeng Wenyu did not expect to be able to merge the two forces together using this method. He was just trying to see if he could let the two forces open the acupuncture points in his body and allow the forces to enter the acupuncture points.

As the two forces spun faster and faster in his body, a pulling force emerged from the rotating force. Zeng Wenyu forcibly controlled the other qi, blood and true energy in his body to prevent this force from growing stronger.

When the two forces were gradually becoming indistinguishable from each other, Zeng Wenyu controlled the force to slowly approach his acupuncture points. If there was any discomfort, he would stop immediately.

The imagined swelling and tingling sensation did not appear. When the rotating qi and blood power and true energy approached his acupuncture point, they merged into it easily. Then Zeng Wenyu felt as if a small hole had been opened in the acupuncture point, and a suction force came out from the small hole. The clearly distinct qi and blood power and true energy in his body gradually became restless, as if there was some rare beauty in Zeng Wenyu's opened acupuncture point, and they began to stir. If Zeng Wenyu had not still suppressed these two forces in his body, they would have been unable to resist wanting to enter.

The suppression of the two forces was relaxed a little, and a part of the qi, blood and true qi immediately poured in from the small opening of the acupuncture point. A cool feeling appeared at the location of the acupuncture point, just like drinking a sip of cool drink in the hot summer. That feeling made Zeng Wenyu feel very comfortable.

He slightly relaxed the suppression of the two forces until Zeng Wenyu was sure that the two forces entered his acupoints and did not cause any damage to his body. Zeng Wenyu completely released the suppression of the two forces, and they began to enter the opened acupoints frantically. But gradually, Zeng Wenyu felt something was wrong.

Compared with the Qi and blood power in his body, Zeng Wenyu felt that his acupoints began to crave for true Qi. Although he still had a lot of true Qi in his body, compared with the Qi and blood power, the quality was not at the same level as the Qi and blood power that had reached the pinnacle of blood refining.

But Zeng Wenyu didn't have much to do about this situation. He could only continuously absorb the true qi gathered by the spirit gathering array into his body, using a large amount of true qi to fill the need for true qi in his acupoints.

But true Qi is only true Qi after all, and cannot be compared with spiritual Qi. What the cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm take in into their bodies during their daily practice is indeed true Qi, but after being compressed by their Dantian Qi Sea, that true Qi will change into spiritual Qi. Zeng Wenyu does not have a Dantian Qi Sea in his body, and he does not practice Qi, so naturally he has no way of changing true Qi into spiritual Qi. He can only hope that quantity can make up for quality.

Zeng Wenyu, sitting on the cushion, continued to absorb true Qi. He absorbed it very quickly. Even with the spirit gathering array, the true Qi could not keep up. The spirit gathering array operating at full power could only pull the true Qi from farther away. This caused the practitioners in Dancheng to feel that something was wrong, and there was even an alchemist whose furnace exploded due to the change in the flow of true Qi.

In just a few seconds, the true Qi in the Dan City was instantly drained, and all the true Qi was absorbed into Zeng Wenyu's body. For a moment, the sound of exploding furnaces could be heard everywhere in Dan City. Fortunately, the true Qi was endless, and the true Qi vacuum of a few seconds was quickly filled up again.

"Is it some great master who is cultivating in Dan City?" The mayor of Dan City felt the inner energy of Dan City replenishing again. He looked in the direction of Zeng Wenyu and said, "I wonder which senior has made a breakthrough, but there is such a big commotion. I hope the shop owners in Dan City can see the situation clearly and not run over to cause trouble."

Of course, the shop owners were not brainless losers, they also had some cultivation skills, and they had felt the true energy in Dan City being drained away before. Under their restraint, the servants and guards in the shops did not run out to cause trouble, but some alchemists obviously relied on their status as alchemists and started preparing to find people to compensate for their pills.
