Zhao Yun returned to his room, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, immersing himself in a state of tranquility.
Luke stepped in quietly and stood behind her, his expression focused.
He slowly reached out and gently placed his palm on Zhao Yun's jade-like back. A warm and gentle true energy flowed from his palm and silently seeped into Zhao Yun's body.
This true energy, like a seed in early spring, contained vibrant life and boundless potential. It slowly circulated within Zhao Yun's body, searching for the most suitable place to take root and sprout.
Zhao Yun's body was like a fertile land, waiting to be nourished by this mysterious power.
Luke's true energy flowed slowly within Zhao Yun's body, guiding her inner breath to gradually merge with this external force.
·· ·Requesting flowers··· ···
Zhao Yun felt a warm current surge into his back, instantly spreading throughout his body. His limbs and bones seemed to be awakened by this power, filled with unprecedented vitality and life.
Zhao Yun felt the warm, gentle energy emanating from Luke's palm, like the warm spring sun shining on a frozen lake, gradually melting the stiffness and chaos within her body.
This vital energy flowed slowly through her meridians, like a gentle stream nourishing parched land. Everywhere it passed, it made her body feel lighter and more luminous.
"Relax your mind and body, and don't resist."
Luke's deep voice came from behind, seemingly carrying some invisible force that calmed Zhao Yun down involuntarily.
She held her breath and focused her attention on the warm current emanating from her vest, feeling it gradually seep into the depths of her lower abdomen.
... . ...
With Luke's guidance, ripples began to appear in Zhao Yun's previously dormant dantian.
That seed of true energy was like a seedling breaking through the soil, taking root and sprouting in the fertile land.
At first, it was just a faint hint of green, but as time went on, it spread rapidly and gradually formed a clear path.
This path extends along Zhao Yun's main meridians, connecting his limbs and bones, linking his entire body into a complete circulatory system.
"Very good, continue to maintain this state."
Luke's voice remained steady and gentle, as if afraid of disturbing the growing seedlings.
"Your breathing should be natural, not hurried, and you should never force your internal energy. Just let it develop at its own pace."
Zhao Yun adjusted his breathing as instructed, each breath seemingly injecting new nutrients into that seed of true energy.
Gradually, she found that her consciousness seemed to become more acute, and she could clearly perceive the flow of true qi in her body—starting from the dantian, rising along the Ren and Du meridians to the Baihui acupoint on the top of her head, then descending down her back, and finally returning to the dantian, completing a perfect cycle.
This process may seem simple, but it actually requires a high degree of focus and patience.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Zhao Yun's forehead, but she gritted her teeth and persevered, daring not to slacken in the slightest.
Because she knew that every effort she made at this moment would determine the height she could reach in her future cultivation.
Chapter 226: Martial Arts Chronicle: The Feeling of Power is Like a Drug
Luke stood aside, silently observing Zhao Yun's condition. He could sense that the true energy within Zhao Yun's body was no longer a solitary sapling, but was gradually growing into a towering tree.
Its branches continue to extend outward, covering more and more meridians, and even touching those more hidden branches.
When all the meridians are opened, Zhao Yun's true energy will surge like the Yangtze River, displaying boundless power.
Of course, achieving this level is not something that can be done overnight; it will take at least a few years. You can't get fat overnight.
The internal energy within Zhao Yun gradually grew stronger, like a seed taking root and sprouting in fertile soil, eventually growing into a lush little forest.
As Luke guided her further, her meridians were completely unblocked. A warm current surged from her dantian, slowly rising along the Ren and Du meridians, reaching the Baihui acupoint on the top of her head, and then flowing down, forming a perfect cycle.
At this moment, wisps of white smoke began to rise from Zhao Yun's mouth and nose, like the thin mist of an early winter morning, gentle yet carrying a strange sense of power.
These white wisps were no ordinary substance; rather, they were a manifestation of her internal energy overflowing.
With each breath, white smoke escaped, only to be reabsorbed by Zhao Yun and absorbed into the ever-expanding circulation of true energy.
This cycle repeated itself, eventually becoming a remarkable phenomenon indicating the attainment of internal strength.
Luke stood to the side, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. This phenomenon is not something everyone can witness; only when a cultivator reaches a certain level can their internal energy resonate with the external energy, thus producing such a wondrous sight.
This shows that Zhao Yun has successfully taken the first step in his cultivation, and his progress far exceeds his expectations.
"Great, keep it up."
Luke's voice was deep and gentle, like a spring breeze across a lake. "Remember, don't rush things. Let your inner energy flow at its own pace. Now, try to feel how it flows through your meridians and focus your attention on each breath."
Zhao Yun did as instructed, closed his eyes, concentrated, and immersed himself in the unique experience.
She could clearly feel that warm and gentle true energy flowing through her body. Every time it passed through a meridian, it was like pouring sweet rain into parched land, giving her body unprecedented vitality.
The white smoke was not ordinary water vapor, but rather a manifestation of the overflow of her internal energy.
With each breath, white smoke slowly emerged from her mouth and nose, only to be inhaled back into her abdomen by Zhao Yun. This cycle repeated endlessly, as if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had formed a small universe within her body.
This unusual phenomenon made Luke nod in approval; he knew it was a sign that Zhao Yun's internal strength was beginning to show results.
As time went by, Zhao Yun's complexion became increasingly rosy, and his skin became crystal clear, as if his whole body was enveloped in a faint light.
The white smoke grew thicker and thicker, even emitting a faint, pleasant fragrance that was refreshing to the senses.
All of this indicates that her cultivation level is improving at a visible rate.
“Very good, Zhao Yun,” Luke said softly. “This is a sign that the true energy within your body is beginning to merge with the outside world, indicating that your inner world has been initially constructed. However, this is only the first step. You will need to cultivate more diligently to fully control this power.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun, though not opening his eyes, felt an unprecedented surge of confidence welling up in his heart.
She continued to focus on the flow of vital energy within her body, feeling how it surged through her meridians, nourishing every inch of her skin.
Gradually, the white smoke became purer in color, even revealing a faint golden light, which bathed the entire room in a soft glow.
Luke secretly admired Zhao Yun, not expecting him to have such a high level of comprehension.
With just a few hours of guidance, she reached this level.
It should be noted that even for exceptionally gifted individuals, it would take months or even longer to see such results.
However, Zhao Yun shortened this process through his own efforts and dedication to martial arts.
Of course, Luke's powerful internal energy also played a role, which saved Zhao Yun a lot of time.
After another incense stick's time, Zhao Yun finally slowly opened his eyes.
Her eyes shone with an unprecedented clarity and determination, as if the whole world was under her control.
She stood up, stretched her limbs, and felt a surge of energy coursing through her body. She could even feel the ground tremble slightly when she landed.
This is the result of Zhao Yun's perception being released, and also a phenomenon caused by the sudden increase in Zhao Yun's own power, which he cannot fully control for the time being.
Zhao Yun took a step forward, and the ground seemed to be struck by an invisible hammer, leaving a pair of deep footprints.
The tread pattern on the sole is so detailed that it seems as if each step contains immense power.
She frowned slightly, feeling the surging true energy within her body still flowing uncontrollably outwards.
Each step caused the surrounding air to vibrate, even creating subtle yet noticeable ripples.
Her hands trembled slightly, not because of weakness, but because of an overwhelming amount of power that she could not fully control.
With each breath, the true energy within her body continued to flow like a river, but this powerful energy made her feel a sense of unfamiliarity and pressure.
She tried to calm herself and focus her attention on her dantian, attempting to guide the violent power back to calm.
However, although the true energy has eased somewhat, it is still churning in the meridians, like a wild horse that has broken free of its reins, and could easily go out of control again if one is not careful.
Zhao Yun slowly raised his arm and discovered that even the slightest movement of his fingertips would cause a wave of air to stir up the surrounding air and produce a low hum.
3.3 She understood that this power was not an enemy, but a manifestation of her own cultivation achievements, only that she had not yet fully mastered it.
As time went on, she believed that one day she would be able to completely control it and make it her own.
At this moment, she can only use patience and perseverance to adapt to this sudden power and wait for the true transformation to arrive.
However, it must be said that the powerful feeling was like a drug, intoxicating Zhao Yun.
"His!"
Zhao Yun moved his arm slightly, tearing a hole in his clothes and revealing a glimpse of his underwear. Luke could even see Zhao Yun's undergarments and the red bodice beneath them.
A fiery glint flashed in Luke's eyes. He pulled the blushing Zhao Yun into his arms, lifted her up by the waist, and carried her into the room.
Chapter 227: Martial Arts Chronicle: Three Days of Absurdity, Gu Santong Arrives
That night, Luke carefully taught Zhao Yun how to practice his skills.
Pointing out the meridians through which Zhao Yun's true energy flowed, Zhao Yun was in pain at first, but soon felt a sense of accomplishment as his true energy flowed.
Zhao Yun enjoyed this feeling very much, and at first he kept pestering Luke to practice his skills.
However, an hour later, after seeing Luke tirelessly helping him practice, Zhao Yun began to regret his decision.
Although he still gained a lot, Zhao Yun could feel his back aching, his legs weak, and his hands and feet limp, which was not a good sign.
Two hours later, Zhao Yun wanted to stop practicing, but Luke told her that she couldn't give up halfway, so Zhao Yun had no choice but to persevere.
Practicing martial arts is a very arduous task. Although he gained a lot, Zhao Yun's body seemed unable to withstand such intensity and soon gave out.
Luke had no choice but to stop what he was doing and carefully try to comfort Zhao Yun.
This was the first time he had helped someone practice martial arts, so his movements were inevitably a bit too exaggerated. Having tasted the sweetness of it, he lost his sense of restraint.
At noon on the 21st of the next day, Zhao Yun finally woke up from her deep sleep, but she didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.
Actually, if Luke hadn't been there last night, Zhao Yun probably wouldn't have been able to get a good rest.
As for Luke, he naturally rested with Zhao Yun. Although Luke could stay energetic without sleeping, life would be too boring if one couldn't even get a good night's sleep.
Sleep is the best way for humans to recover and reduce energy expenditure, no matter how high your martial arts skills are.
"woke up!"
Luke looked at Zhao Yun, who had just woken up, with an apologetic expression, and said in a low voice.
Feeling the magnetic voice in her ear and the warm breath on her ear, Zhao Yun's pretty face turned as red as if it were about to bleed.
"Don't make trouble!"
Feeling Luke's burning gaze, Zhao Yun blushed and said.
Luke immediately touched his nose, smiled sheepishly, and sent a stream of true energy to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun felt a warm stream of true energy flowing into his body from Luke's palm, and his fatigue disappeared considerably.
