Sensing his gaze, Zheng Zhian turned his head and gave him a reassuring look. His soft voice swayed in the breeze, "The acupoints corresponding to the Qian hexagram are Shangyang, Sanjian, Quchi..."

After she finished speaking, Xiao Huachi didn't say whether it was right or wrong, but simply asked, "What about the Li hexagram?"

“The Li hexagram is Shaochong, Shaoze, Houxi, Quze…” Zheng Zhian finished speaking, slid off him, ran to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

The Li trigram has the most acupoints, which made her thirsty.

The two continued their question-and-answer session for half an hour before Xiao Huachi finally stopped, throwing his head back and laughing heartily. "I never expected that an old man like me, who's practically buried to the top of the head, would actually receive such a genius disciple. This life is enough, enough indeed!"

Even Chu Mo, who was standing to the side, looked at her with a gaze that went from initial worry to relief and now to amazement.

He was adopted by his master because of his talent for gossip; otherwise, he might not be alive now. It took him a whole year to memorize all of these things. His master said he had a great talent.

Now, my junior sister has memorized it all in just half a month, and even understands most of it, and can even ask Master questions. So, what about her...?

No wonder Master was so happy.

Zheng Zhian had absolutely no idea why he was so excited. She had taken it home and studied it for over half a month; if he still couldn't figure it out, how could he face her past...?

His reaction clearly showed that he was quite satisfied with her performance. Zheng Zhian breathed a sigh of relief. Despite her confidence, she was actually a little nervous.

"Master, what will I learn next?" Actually, she wanted to ask when she could formally learn that magical internal energy.

Seeing through her thoughts, Xiao Huachi picked her up, swiftly descended the stairs, and teased, "What do you want to learn?"

“Master has the final say!” Zheng Zhian looked down to the first floor and walked inside. What else was there on the first floor besides a giant Bagua table?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huachi shook his head and chuckled, "What a little fox."

He walked to the table and fiddled with the wooden strips on it, adjusting them in every direction until he finally placed the last wooden strip in front of the Zhen trigram.

The giant table in front of him slowly unfolded outwards from the center, revealing steps underneath.

Zheng Zhian looked at him in surprise, but what came to mind was whether Zhongyang Palace also had a secret room.

Although it was underground, it wasn't very dark. The patterns carved on the walls were more intricate and complex than those outside. Perhaps it was because she now had some understanding of the Bagua, but she always felt that the flow of energy inside was different from that outside. There were also many bookshelves around, and two futons on the ground in the middle.

Is this a martial arts training room?

"I will circulate my internal energy through your body in a moment, so feel it carefully yourself." Xiao Huachi placed her on one of the futons and reminded her when he saw that she was still looking around with a wandering gaze.

"Okay." Zheng Zhian snapped out of his daze and sat down cross-legged.

He sat down as well, but I didn't see him do anything. White mist slowly rose in the air around us, growing thicker and thicker until finally even people right next to us couldn't see each other.

"Close your eyes." A stern voice rang out, and Zheng Zhian immediately complied.

That's amazing, how did you do that?

After closing her eyes, her body became more sensitive and clear to the outside world. Gradually, she felt her surroundings getting warmer and warmer, much like when she was still in her mother's womb.

Slowly, a stream of energy entered her body, moving gently forward from Shangyang, like a clear spring cleansing her meridians, making her feel extremely comfortable wherever it passed. She even felt a wisp of energy slowly following behind it.

The internal energy of my master felt completely different from that of Old Man Feng when they helped me protect my heart meridian.

After the energy circulated through her body, the powerful energy in front withdrew, but the remaining energy stayed inside her.

Was that hers? She tried to urge it to follow the original route again, and to her surprise, it actually worked.

Zheng Zhian was a little excited, but then he suddenly heard, "Slow down."

She immediately suppressed her emotions and slowly guided him.

Xiao Huachi sat to the side, carefully observing her. The white gas around her was slowly decreasing, and there was a protective layer of energy around her, which was deliberately left on her so that he could intervene immediately if anything went wrong.

After an unknown amount of time, Zheng Zhian slowly opened his eyes.

In that instant, Zheng Zhian felt the flow of energy in the surrounding air more clearly, and he could even sense his master's aura.

Is this what it feels like to have internal energy? Not bad, very good.

Seeing her open her eyes, Xiao Huachi finally felt relieved.

Fortunately, the little girl inherited her mother's constitution, even surpassing it. In addition, since she was a child, two old men have been channeling their internal energy into her to protect her life, which has made her meridians several times stronger than those of ordinary people.

It truly is a case of fortune and misfortune being intertwined.

"Is it okay?"

The light in her eyes was frightening. Xiao Huachi coughed lightly, stood up, and said coldly, "You're still far from it." He certainly wouldn't say it was because he was afraid she would become arrogant.

Amo started trying for the first time when he was five years old. At first, it took him several attempts to succeed. He no longer wanted to marvel at the little guy's talent.

Zheng Zhian pursed his lips, his joy was in vain.

"Just remember to run it whenever you have free time."

That means I've already taken the first step and can say, "Don't worry, I won't slack off."

Aside from eating and sleeping, she is very diligent.

Seeing her eager expression and recalling what had just happened, Xiao Huachi sternly warned, "Don't be too hasty, otherwise..."

"I understand." She was only just now because she had finally seen the martial arts she had been longing for for so long. She would definitely not act like a naive child in the future; her life was still very important.

Knowing that she was still sensible, Xiao Huachi picked her up and the two of them left the training room.

Zheng Zhian clearly felt the flow of energy on the combined Bagua table when she came out this time, and the divination images she had recently looked at vaguely flashed through her mind.

"Master, can the Bagua be used to find things?" Zheng Zhian suddenly thought of the person he was looking for. If it could be used, then this thing would really be useful.

Carrying her upstairs, Xiao Huachi didn't even look at her, only casually asking, "Who are you looking for?"

"Who are you looking for? I recently lost something but haven't been able to find it, so I wanted to ask my master." How could she admit it? If she dared to say it, she probably wouldn't be able to hide it from her father that night.

Xiao Huachi squinted but didn't point it out, "When looking for something, the closer it is to you, the easier it is to find. It all depends on your own skill."

What else is there to say? With her current level of skill, she's practically useless. Don't even think about asking her for help.
