Chapter 48: Strength Increases, Chen Xingyue Enters the Qi Sensing Realm

Xiao Yingle said, "You each gave two cents for this meal, and you only plan to eat a bowl of white rice?"

The children looked at their parents one after another, and only picked up a piece of meat when Fang Tieshan and Grandma Chen told them to eat as much as they wanted.

"Madam Xiao, is this the wild boar you hunted a few days ago?"

Widow Qin tried hard to find topics to talk about so that the atmosphere would not become too awkward.

"Well, I'm lucky." Xiao Ying said casually.

Fang Tieshan immediately took over the conversation: "It's not enough to just be lucky. I hunted for at least twenty years when I was young, but the chances of killing a wild boar can be counted on one hand. This arm was also broken by a wild boar."

"Dad, if that's the case, then Madam Xiao is even more powerful than you."

Widow Wang looked at Xiao Ying in disbelief. Madam Xiao looked thin and weak, so how could she have such strength to hunt a wild boar?

"Madam Xiao is indeed more capable than me."

Not only was Fang Tieshan not angry, he praised Xiao Ying instead.

Xiao Ying could only say, "Maybe I'm stronger."

Fortunately, no one investigated further, or perhaps they didn't dare to investigate further, and the matter was just left unresolved.

After dinner, the two daughters-in-law competed to wash the dishes and quickly cleaned up the kitchen.

The two wanted to give Xiao Ying money for the meal, but Xiao Ying said that they could just deduct it from Fang Tieshan and Grandma Chen's wages.

Chen Xingyun took out copper coins and gave each of them twenty-four coins. The two of them were so excited that they kept thanking him.

Both of them promised to come early tomorrow and not let the Chen sisters help them anymore, otherwise they would feel uneasy about taking the money.

In the afternoon, Chen Xinghai went into the mountains to collect firewood, Chen Xingyun and her sister washed clothes, and Xiao Ying continued to dry peppers.

At the hour of You, the villagers who had gone into the mountains to pick peppers came over to sell them, and the family became busy again.

The amount of chili peppers received today was almost two hundred kilograms less than yesterday, and the villagers had to go even further away.

As Xiao Ying expected, the quantity would only decrease day by day.

He put the dried ones into the Immortal Palace space, and hung the newly collected ones in the yard to dry, planning to deal with them together in two days.

After dinner, the family finally had some free time. Xiao Ying checked their arithmetic and found that they had no problems with the multiplication table and addition and subtraction within 100, which showed that the three of them were still very hardworking.

"After soaking in the spiritual spring water for a few days, how do you feel?"

Her most intuitive feeling was that the three of them had gained some weight and their skin had become whiter and smoother.

Compared to when they first came here half a month ago, the three of them are no longer pale and thin, and look almost like children from ordinary families.

Chen Xinghai was the first to speak: "I feel much stronger and more energetic. That bundle of firewood weighed several dozen kilograms this afternoon, and I carried it back easily."

Xiao Ying nodded slightly. "Spiritual energy can improve physical condition and indeed increase one's strength. If one reaches the first level of Qi Refining, even with only a single spiritual root, one's strength will be at least equivalent to that of two adult men."

Chen Xinghai immediately showed a look of longing, but it was a pity that he didn't even have spiritual roots now and had no way to practice.

When it was Chen Xingyun's turn, she said, "I also feel that my strength has increased. Just now, when I was harvesting peppers, there was a backpack filled with more than 30 kilograms, and I was able to lift it with one hand."

"And I feel my skin is whiter and smoother, and I may have gained a few pounds."

I feel a little embarrassed to say this, but these two points may also be because the food has improved recently.

Xiao Ying raised the corner of her lips and said, "Your physical condition is indeed improving. Keep soaking in the water, and your skin will become whiter and smoother, and your body will get better and better, and you will grow taller."

Hearing this, the three of them were extremely excited. Who doesn’t want to be in better health and look better?

Finally, Chen Xingyue said, "I seemed to see a little light last night, but it disappeared quickly. Mom, am I sensing spiritual energy?"

Xiao Ying's heart moved: "Try again later, let me see."

"Um."

Chen Xingyue was a little excited. If she could really sense the spiritual energy, she could start learning Qi training with her mother.

After giving each of the three people a bucket of spiritual spring water, Xiao Ying went to Chen Xingyue's room.

Chen Xingyue had already taken off her clothes and was sitting in the wooden tub. The water was just up to her chest. Even so, she was still a little embarrassed to face her mother.

"Close your eyes, relax, and enter a meditative state."

Xiao Ying sat next to the wooden barrel and guided Chen Xingyue in meditation.

Chen Xingyue gradually eliminated all distracting thoughts, and after about a quarter of an hour, she successfully entered a state of trance.

After a while, Xiao Ying keenly sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy on her body. Although it was very faint, it also showed that she had indeed entered the realm of sensing energy.

At the same time, Chen Xingyue saw a ball of light swaying in front of her eyes.

I didn't open my eyes, but I saw it clearly.

My mother said that there is something called the pineal gland in the brain, which can see things that ordinary people cannot see. It turns out it really can!

In her excitement, she instantly fell out of her trance and the ball of light disappeared.

"Mom, I just saw the light again."

Chen Xingyue opened her eyes and reported happily.

"Just now, there was indeed a fluctuation of spiritual energy in your body. It can be said that you have entered the realm of sensing energy."

Xiao Ying's eyes showed approval. The yellow spiritual root was indeed much stronger than the fake spiritual root. Under the effect of the spiritual spring water, he was able to sense the spiritual energy in just a few days.

If it is a fake spiritual root, the time will at least double.

Of course, if there were no spiritual spring water, with the spiritual energy in this world being so thin, Chen Xingyue might not be able to achieve such results even in a month.

"Great! Mom, can I learn Qi Refining from you?"

Chen Xingyue's brows immediately lit up with joy, and she finally felt like she was cultivating an immortal.

Xiao Ying said, "I will start teaching you Qi training tonight. The most basic Qi training is to circulate the Qi through the meridians. The meridians are divided into the Great Circulation and the Small Circulation. You must memorize them all."

Next, she explained the meridian routes of the big and small circulations respectively.

He placed one hand on Chen Xingyue's back, and every time he described a point, he would send spiritual power to the corresponding position to help the other party remember.

Just teaching it once is definitely not enough. Unless you have a photographic memory, you will not be able to remember so many points.

Therefore, after finishing her story, she gave the other party a copy of the Seven-Series Hunyuan Gongfa.

She had recorded this technique herself in a blank jade slip. It not only recorded the method of the circulation of Qi in the meridians, but also several small spells, especially the fire-type spiritual root spells suitable for Chen Xingyue's practice.

"You have entered the Qi Sensing Realm. From now on, you can read the Jade Slip by placing it on your forehead. If you can't remember the path of the Qi Circulation, just look at it more often. You must not make mistakes when practicing."

"I remember, mother."

Chen Xingyue clenched her fists, feeling extremely excited. She must not let her mother down.

Xiao Ying continued, "When you refine a wisp of spiritual energy into your lower dantian and form a cyclone, it means you have entered the first level of Qi Refining."

"Mom, I'll start tonight."

Chen Xingyue couldn't wait any longer and closed her eyes again.
