"Yes, Grandmother." Yun Duoduo wiped the grease from her mouth, straightened her back, and walked to the Empress Dowager.
“Grandmother, after taking a nap every day, Duoduo practices according to the instructions in the booklet that Grandmother gave her, and she is gradually feeling the power in her body becoming deeper and deeper.”
"However, Duoduo still can't control or use this true energy." Yun Duoduo frowned, like a student who had encountered a problem and was asking the teacher for an answer.
The Empress Dowager pinched Yun Duoduo's arms and legs, but did not notice anything unusual.
"Hmm, you try your luck, let Grandmother take a look." The Empress Dowager nodded and stood aside waiting for Yun Duoduo to try her luck.
"good."
Yun Duoduo took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to circulate her internal energy with her palms facing each other.
She felt the power within her body gathering little by little. She closed her eyes and continued to concentrate this power.
Suddenly, she stretched out her palm, but no force was released, and the expected palm wind did not come out. The vase and the table and chairs in front of Yun Duoduo remained motionless.
Yun Duoduo's face turned bright red, and her arms and legs felt a little swollen, as if the internal energy inside was trying to inflate her into a big balloon.
Yun Duoduo felt extremely uncomfortable. She had circulated her energy too vigorously this time, causing it to circulate wildly within her body. She had lost control of it and couldn't bring it back.
Yun Duoduo seemed to feel her body getting lighter and lighter, slowly about to leave the ground. Her brows furrowed more and more, and her wrists and ankles suddenly started to hurt and swelled up in an instant.
When the Empress Dowager saw that something was wrong, she quickly reached out and pressed her fingers on Yun Duoduo's Yongquan and Tianming acupoints, and then reached out her palm to help Yun Duoduo breathe.
A moment later, Yun Duoduo felt the true energy in her body slowly dissipate, the pain in her body gradually disappeared, and the swelling in her wrists and ankles stopped.
"Grandmother." Yun Duoduo gasped for breath, not understanding what had just happened.
The Empress Dowager patted Yun Duoduo's head. "It's alright now. Your grandmother has circulated your qi, and your internal energy has stabilized."
"That strange thing that the old sister gave me is indeed too domineering, but I always feel that something is missing from it." The Empress Dowager shook her head and looked at Yun Duoduo with some worry.
Even the most domineering person has a way of circulating internal energy.
The Empress Dowager pondered, "The flow of true energy is the most crucial element, so why is it out of control?"
"Duoduo, have you practiced all of Grandmother Wang's book?"
Yun Duoduo nodded, "I've practiced every single page."
After a moment of contemplation, the Empress Dowager spoke.
"Go and bring that book over, and show it to the Empress Dowager."
"Okay, Duoduo will go get it now." Yun Duoduo ran out of Shouchang Palace and went to Fushuang Palace to get the secret manual from under her mattress.
The Empress Dowager's expression was somewhat grave. Logically speaking, if the true qi manual given by Wang Fengru had been practiced properly, the result would not have been like this.
But just now, Duoduo's internal energy circulation had reached an extremely dangerous point.
If she were older and her true energy were more abundant, and if she still couldn't control it, and the true energy reversed, this powerful force would eventually break through her heart meridian uncontrollably, ultimately rupturing her heart and lungs, leading to her death.
The Empress Dowager's mind flashed with images of blood and flesh flying everywhere, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
She gripped the teacup tightly in her hand. [What on earth is going on?]
Just then, Yun Duoduo came running back, and she placed the yellow-covered, tattered book with curled edges and a spine that looked like it had been gnawed on by something into the Empress Dowager's hands.
The Empress Dowager took the book in her hand and carefully flipped through it.
Is there something wrong with this book?
Looking at it page by page, there were no signs of alteration.
[Let me try it out.]
She sat cross-legged on the soft couch, circulating her internal energy along the lines in the book.
Yun Duoduo held her breath and stood aside watching her grandmother's actions.
Following the illustrations in the book, the Empress Dowager slowly gathered the true energy within her body and then tried to control it.
Suddenly, the Empress Dowager stopped moving and quickly pressed two acupoints on her chest, with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
"Grandmother!" Yun Duoduo was shocked. She hurriedly helped the Empress Dowager up, only to see that her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Grandmother, are you alright? Don't scare Duoduo!" Yun Duoduo was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
What's going on?!
What exactly happened?
[Grandmother must not be harmed!]
She took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the Empress Dowager's mouth, then handed her a cup of warm tea.
"It's alright. This manual is strange. If your bloodline hadn't been sealed in time, this energy flow might have surged out and could have accidentally injured you."
The Empress Dowager looked at the book on the table with suspicion. "This is my elder sister's secret manual. How could this have happened?"
Suddenly, her pupils contracted sharply. She grabbed the book on the table and examined it closely, prying open the spine to look at the pages inside. "Duoduo, have you torn any pages from this book?"
The Empress Dowager clutched the book, looking tense.
Yun Duoduo shook her head blankly.
"This book is missing a page."
[Is a page missing?]
Yun Duoduo looked at the Empress Dowager in confusion. Why was a page missing from the perfectly good True Qi Manual?
Although the book was worn out and the pages were missing corners, the key content was not damaged.
"Just now, when we were practicing on this page, the true energy reversed. Grandmother guessed that there should have been a page here containing information on controlling true energy, but it disappeared."
"This page is crucial. Without this content, I'm afraid I'll be killed by the internal energy I've cultivated sooner or later."
A page has been torn from the book.
[He will be killed by the very internal energy he has cultivated.]
Yun Duoduo felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her heart clenched painfully.
[If she were more diligent, if her inner energy were more domineering, she might lose control of it, and the power would burst through her heart and lungs, ending her life completely.]
Why is the most crucial page about controlling true energy missing?
"Grandmother..." Yun Duoduo scratched her little hands, looking at the Empress Dowager with some helplessness. She never thought that such a thing would happen.
"Does anyone know that you possess this secret manual of true qi?" The Empress Dowager grasped Yun Duoduo's hand and asked anxiously.
Yun Duoduo shook her head. "Nobody knows. I only practice when no one is around at noon, and I haven't told anyone."
"When there's no one around, there's absolutely no one there?" the Empress Dowager asked again to confirm.
Yun Duoduo frowned. "Only Zhuangzhuang is by my side."
