Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

As Zhang Yan bowed, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He had originally planned to fight to the death, even if it meant dying, he would at least manage to pluck a couple of tiger whiskers. It was a pity that he was reborn into this era and couldn't kill the Japanese.

Just then, a tiger's roar interrupted their conversation.

With that tiger's roar, the wooden plaque in Zhang Yan's hand shattered completely, revealing a thin piece of leather in his palm.

Zhang Yan was startled, then opened the leather without any hesitation.

The old Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing glanced at it and then looked away, saying to the curious Zhang Zhiwei.

"Zhiwei, go out and deal with that beast, don't let him destroy this house."

"Yes, master."

Zhang Zhiwei withdrew his gaze and swaggered out of the dilapidated temple.

Upon seeing the three pictures and tiny characters on the leather, Zhang Yan immediately understood that these were the Qi circulation diagrams left to him by the old man.

In addition, there are two simple techniques: the Splitting Palm and the Escape Light.

He glanced at the two spells briefly and then focused all his energy on the Qi Circulation Diagram.

"Brother Zhang, let's deal with that beast first."

The first step in practicing Qi cultivation, gaining a sense of Qi, is the most difficult and dangerous. Zhang Tianshi naturally understood this principle and offered a word of advice.

But after he finished speaking, there was no reaction at all. Only then did the old master realize that Zhang Yan had entered a meditative state and begun circulating his qi.

Zhang Tianshi was slightly taken aback. This was the first time he had ever seen someone enter a meditative state so quickly, especially in such a noisy and dangerous situation.

"Ignorance is bliss."

A golden light flashed from Zhang Jingqing's fingertip, and then she flicked her finger, causing the golden light to hang above Zhang Yan's head. The golden light spread out to form a shield, isolating all the noise from the outside.

At this moment, Zhang Yan was calm and focused, searching for Qi according to the method of the Qi Circulation Diagram. When he reached the Tanzhong acupoint, he clearly felt a blockage. With each step forward, the Qi and blood he had cultivated over the years diminished.

If you have insufficient Qi and blood, forcibly breaking through the barriers will directly damage your heart and lungs. Even if you succeed in circulating Qi, you will still be sickly.

If the Qi circulation fails, well, you might just die suddenly.

So that's how the old man developed his lung problems.

Is there a flaw in this method of circulating qi?

Meanwhile, Zhang Jingqing, whose eyes were gleaming, frowned as he realized the crux of the problem.

Zhang Yan had already suffered heavy losses from two fierce battles, and his physical strength and energy were greatly depleted. The probability of him successfully breaking through the barrier by force was not high. If he were to forcibly stop the attack now, he would at most suffer some damage to his energy and energy, and he would recover after a few months of rest.

Zhang Jingqing didn't want this promising talent to die or be seriously injured right under his nose. At worst, he could give him a method of circulating qi later. As long as it didn't involve Taoist techniques, it wouldn't matter; it would be a way to make a good connection.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingqing no longer hesitated and directly pointed it out.

"Brother Zhang, don't force your way through. Try again later, or try a different method next time."

This time, Zhang Jingqing used Qi, and her voice resounded directly in Zhang Yan's mind.

This reminder immediately stirred Zhang Yan's mind, and that mysterious and profound feeling was about to return to his limbs and bones.

His mind suddenly became cluttered with all sorts of thoughts.

He felt resentful, irritable, and even thought that the Celestial Master was deliberately preventing him from finding his Qi. But before these thoughts could fully develop, Zhang Yan broke free from them.

Having detached himself from the perspective of a third party, he calmly saw his own unease and agitation, and then confirmed one thing.

The old man's method of circulating qi did have flaws; it's possible that some parts were lost when it was passed down to that generation. Later generations found another way and used methods of nourishing qi and blood to complete the practice.

Since there are flaws, let's try a different method as the old master suggested.

At this moment, a diagram of Qi circulation and two Qi circulation routes appeared in Zhang Yan's mind.

While Zhang Yan was researching the new method of circulating qi, Zhang Tianshi looked on incredulously.

This person not only did not leave the meditative state, but also entered a new state.

The old master Zhang Jingqing had seen this state several times in his beloved disciple Zhang Zhiwei.

What happened next surprised him even more, and he couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.

"Is this kid courting death, actually trying to complete his cultivation technique?!"

Based on the original Qi Circulation Diagram, Zhang Yan combined Escape Light and Sky-Splitting Palm to continuously try new routes.

For someone who has never been in contact with Qi, doing this is undoubtedly courting death.

At this point, Zhang Yan's condition was beyond interruption, and Zhang Jingqing was prepared for his sudden death.

What happened next deeply shocked the old master.

Zhang Yan seemed to be able to foresee dangers, retreating as soon as a dangerous acupoint was touched, and constantly trying new approaches.

Moreover, he did not take any unorthodox path, but instead combined Taoist techniques to follow the orthodox path.

"This kid's comprehension is incredibly monstrous!"

Time passed by, and about five minutes went by.

Master Zhang's lips twitched. Zhang Zhiwei could only maintain this state for about two or three minutes, while Zhang Yan had already exceeded that time.

Six minutes.

Seven minutes.

……

ten minutes.

As time went by, the old master's heart was filled with turbulent waves.

Ten minutes, a full ten minutes.

Zhang Yan exhaled a long breath of turbid air, which gathered in his dantian, then returned to his limbs and bones, and was generated in the major acupoints of his body to form a complete cycle.

"It's done!"

Zhang Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his joy overflowing, and bowed to Zhang Jingqing.

"Thank you for the guidance, old master!"

"????"

Zhang Jingqing was completely shocked at this point, and slightly turned her body to avoid the bow.

"Could it be that this kid's comprehension is even a bit stronger than Wei's?"

Zhang Yan's previous state was similar to that of Zhang Zhixiu when he practiced the Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Technique. Moreover, his cultivation would improve after each occurrence.

Zhang Yan entered that state on his first attempt at circulating Qi, which left the old Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing unsure of what to do, so he spoke up directly.

"I saw that your Qi and blood were deficient and not suitable for breaking through the barrier, so I interrupted your Qi circulation. This can't be considered guidance."

"Your state just now surprised me quite a bit. Could you explain in detail?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan realized that the old celestial master was intentionally giving guidance, so he recounted the entire situation in detail.

The old master was increasingly shocked as he listened, and it was indeed as he had guessed, just like his beloved disciple Zhang Zhiwei.

When Zhang Yan's Qi circulation was interrupted, he entered a state of observing others and himself with his own mind.

This is a state that many seekers of the Dao yearn for their entire lives, and Zhang Yan actually achieved it on his first attempt at circulating Qi.

Zhang Jingqing was in a dilemma. If she told Zhang Yan about it, she was afraid that he would become arrogant and cause her harm.

If I don't tell him, I'm afraid he'll have no one to guide him in the future and risk his life.

Zhang Jingqing looked at Zhang Yan, whose eyes were bright and piercing, and finally spoke.

"Very good, but don't try things with your body so easily in the future."

"Sure enough, in the eyes of the old Celestial Master, these little tricks are just minor methods. I am still just an ordinary person with some luck."

Zhang Yan thought to himself, then bowed again to thank the old Celestial Master, and said nothing more.

Zhang Jingqing glanced at the Buddha statue again, then turned and walked out of the dilapidated temple, with Zhang Yan following closely behind.
