The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

Ning Hongyu had no idea that something even more unbearable was waiting for her.

"Master said that the sooner you start guiding Qi into your body, the better. Sister, you should start quickly, and I'll protect you!"

As Su Qi spoke, he forcefully pulled the person onto the bed to sit opposite him. Then he stared at him with his two round eyes, giving him a stern look.

Ning Hongyu: ...

It should be noted that the trajectory of each exercise is different.

Once you break through to the Qi Refining stage, the trajectory of spiritual energy flow becomes fixed.

Now, having Ning Hongyu draw Qi into her body using this local-level cultivation technique is like using an Apple data cable to charge an Android phone!

"This...it's too late now. Let's go to sleep and conserve our energy for cultivation tomorrow."

"No way!" Su Qi refused without even thinking, and gave his reasons before Ning Hongyu could ask.

"I've already checked. According to the relevant regulations of Tianfu Ancient Capital, as long as my sister becomes a cultivator, she can get rid of her lowly status and regain her freedom. My sister is going to be auctioned off tomorrow night, so we must race against time and successfully guide her Qi into her body before tomorrow night!"

Ning Hongyu: ...

You know this? Should I call you stupid or clever?

Ning Hongyu was still hoping to use her status as a courtesan to get close to Ying Muxue through Bai Luo, so she definitely couldn't regain her freedom.

Wait a minute, it doesn't seem like it's a bad idea after all.

Anyway, Bai Luo has already taken the bait, so whether or not she becomes the top courtesan is no longer of much significance.

No, no, the issue now is the status of being of low social standing, isn't it?

The problem is, she's already at the Foundation Establishment stage, so how is she supposed to draw Qi into her body?

"Hehe, sis, aren't I smart? They always say I'm silly, but I'm not silly at all. Most of the time I'm incredibly clever!"

Su Qi grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and then urged him on again.

"Sister, let's begin. I also practice this technique, and I know the path of spiritual energy circulation by heart. Don't worry, under my supervision, I won't let your energy flow be even slightly off."

Those bright eyes were fixed on Ning Hongyu Dantian.

Ning Hongyu was about to cry.

If she were to actually use this method to draw qi into her body, she would be ruined.

"Xiao Bao, I can actually manage on my own, you don't need to help me like this."

Ning Hongyu had a sudden inspiration and came up with a plan. She tricked Su Qi into not focusing on her, and then she circulated her spiritual energy along the original route, pretending that she had successfully guided the energy into her body.

"No, you're my sister. If I don't help you, who will?" Su Qi said in a tone that suggested he would go through fire and water for his sister.

No need!

Ning Hongyu roared inwardly, but forced an ugly smile onto her face.

"Little Bao, don't you believe your sister?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, but Master said that for things that can be done without fail, don't be lazy and take chances. You must be fully alert before you succeed."

Su Qi held up one finger and earnestly explained the profound principles, urging him for the third time.

"Sister, I am your teacher now. Master said that teachers should be strict. Please listen to me and start guiding your Qi into your body immediately, or I will hit you!"

Your master's teachings are truly...

Ning Hongyu cursed that master eight hundred times in her heart, but seeing Su Qi raise his hand in a pretentious manner, she could only pretend to start cultivating.

Try guiding your Qi into your body using your original method and see if he notices.

With that in mind, Ning Hongyu began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.

"elder sister!!!"

Su Qi's voice interrupted Ning Hongyu. Seeing his shocked expression, Ning Hongyu suddenly realized something and his heart skipped a beat.

Having been a cultivator for so long, she had forgotten that when a cultivator first begins their practice, the first thing they need to do is to find the feeling of Qi.

Who can absorb spiritual energy from the very beginning?

But she absorbed it subconsciously just now.

So... have we been exposed?

He's already figured it out, hasn't he?

Seeing Su Qi's serious face, Ning Hongyu couldn't help but feel nervous, secretly gritting her teeth and preparing herself to be killed with a single palm strike.

Su Qi made a lightning-fast move, gripping Ning Hongyu's shoulders with his hands, his eyes sharp and piercing.

Coming?

Facing a Golden Core stage expert, he was indeed powerless to resist.

Ning Hongyu cried out in her heart that her life was over.

Unexpectedly...

"Sister, you're a genius! You were able to absorb spiritual energy right from the start!"

His voice was excited and overjoyed.

Huh...

Ning Hongyu has beady eyes.

How come no one noticed?

Phew, I almost forgot, this idiot isn't very bright.

He breathed a sigh of relief and put on a surprised smile.

"really?"

"It's absolutely true. Other cultivators need to spend a long time finding the feeling of Qi when they try to draw Qi into their bodies. I didn't expect that my sister could absorb spiritual Qi directly. She's definitely a genius."

After praising her with a smile, Su Qi's expression turned serious again: "However, there's something I have to say to you, sister. The trajectory of your spiritual energy circulation just now was wrong. It didn't follow the book at all. You deserve a beating!"

He raised his hand and struck Ning Hongyu hard on the buttocks.

"Ah~"

Ning Hongyu gasped, her face turning red. She wanted to say something, but looking into those clear yet foolish eyes, she sensed that Su Qizhen was simply punishing her and had no other intentions.

"Hurry up and draw your Qi into your body, or I'll hit you again!"

Su Qi found it amusing, but on the surface he still pretended to be a serious teacher.

"I...I know."

Seeing how dedicated he was, Ning Hongyu felt helpless and could only do as he was told.

"That's right, it enters from the perineum, rises along the Du meridian, and passes the Changqiang acupoint..."

Hearing Su Qi's voice, Ning Hongyu knew she couldn't cheat anymore, so she could only endure the discomfort and follow Su Qi's guidance to guide her qi into her body.

uncomfortable...

I feel so bad...

It felt like a snake had crawled into my meridians, recklessly burrowing and biting everywhere.

Ning Hongyu gritted her teeth and continued to circulate her spiritual energy according to the trajectory Su Qi had described.

After running for a full week, Ning Hongyu could no longer hold on.

"Xiao Bao, I need to go to the toilet."

Without waiting for Su Qi's reply, she ran away in a flash, her face flushed.

Completely unaware, someone behind them was grinning wickedly.
