Chapter 1601: Chapter 1606: Guiding Qi Into the Body

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s question, Gu Mang still frowned, "Nothing much during this period..."

"Nothing much? What does that mean? Does it mean it’s okay? Or is it simple? Or is it unbearable?" Lin Fei asked again.

"Master, I didn’t find it unbearable. I actually think it’s fairly okay..." Gu Mang said.

Lin Fei nodded, "To be honest, I already know your character, and I’ve seen the conviction you uphold. I’m very satisfied with you, but you have a flaw, a fatal flaw."

"What flaw? Please teach me, Master, I will definitely correct it!" Gu Mang said quickly, a hint of unease rising in his heart.

"This flaw cannot be corrected. I can only ask you, do you really want to become an Ancient Martial Artist?"

"Yes!"

Gu Mang answered immediately without thinking.

"Very well, but you also know, without a dantian, it’s pretty much hopeless to become an Ancient Martial Artist. What’s your take on this?" Lin Fei looked at Gu Mang.

At this moment, Gu Mang’s expression was conflicted, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

"I don’t know about that, but I know I will definitely keep trying!" Gu Mang’s expression was determined.

Lin Fei nodded, "If that’s the case, then I’ll tell you the truth, you don’t have a dantian, which means you have no potential for cultivation."

"What?!" Gu Mang was shocked. He couldn’t believe what Lin Fei said. He was not an Ancient Martial Artist. He had persisted so much just to become an Ancient Martial Artist, and suddenly Lin Fei said he couldn’t become one. How could Gu Mang accept this?

"I’ve made it very clear, you aren’t an Ancient Martial Artist, and you probably won’t become one in your lifetime." Lin Fei told Gu Mang word by word.

Gu Mang felt dizzy and couldn’t accept this fact for a moment.

But that’s precisely the reality. He, Gu Mang, cannot cultivate?

Seeing Gu Mang’s panicked expression, not knowing what to do, Lin Fei sighed, "Didn’t you say you would keep trying? What will you do if you can’t cultivate? Even if you try harder, the final outcome will still be the same."

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, Gu Mang’s eyes began to shine, and finally, he gritted his teeth, "I don’t care, I don’t care whether I can cultivate or not. As long as I work hard, I will surely succeed. I don’t care if I become an Ancient Martial Artist or not, I only know I won’t abandon the thoughts in my heart!"

"Good!"

Lin Fei clapped his hands and praised.

Gu Mang was taken aback by Lin Fei’s words, looking at Lin Fei in shock, not understanding why Lin Fei suddenly became so excited.

Lin Fei smiled and looked at Gu Mang, "Gu Mang, since you’re so determined, I’ll give you an opportunity."

"Master, what opportunity?" Gu Mang didn’t know what Lin Fei meant. Didn’t he say he couldn’t become an Ancient Martial Artist? Didn’t he say there was no dantian?

Lin Fei smiled, "Perhaps it’s fate, you are my disciple, and I also don’t have a dantian."

"What? Master doesn’t have a dantian?"

Gu Mang found it unbelievable. How could his master, being so powerful, not have a dantian? That’s impossible.

Lin Fei smiled, "I used to have a dantian, but it was abolished, and finally, I had none. However, I didn’t give up, so I cultivated the Continuous Demon Technique, enabling me to become an Ancient Martial Artist without relying on a dantian. Look at me now, even without a dantian, aren’t I doing just fine?"

"Master, are you going to teach me?" Gu Mang asked.

Lin Fei nodded, "Your character and attitude in facing difficulties impressed me. I decided to teach you two cultivation techniques, the Continuous Demon Technique, and the Silent Annihilation Technique."

"Are these what you cultivated, Master?" Gu Mang asked, curious if he too would become very powerful if Lin Fei really passed his cultivation techniques on to him.

Lin Fei nodded, "Indeed, this is the cultivation technique I’m practicing now, which allows cultivation without relying on a dantian, but the road ahead might be painful."

"Master, go ahead, I’m not afraid of pain!" Gu Mang said to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei smiled, "Since that’s the case, then come with me to the soundproof room. After all, you’ll soon learn what pain truly means."

With Gu Mang, Lin Fei brought him to a soundproof room, specially designed to prevent sound transmission. Of course, their room had some soundproofing done, though not very powerful.

In the soundproof room, Lin Fei suddenly placed the black cushion on the floor and let Gu Mang sit on it.

Gu Mang obediently sat on the cushion, which gave him a particularly comfortable feeling, and before he knew it, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath and relax.

"Later I’ll use this Gathering Qi Magic Mat to allow Heaven and Earth Qi to enter your body. You need to feel this power, and then seriously circulate what I’ve told you."

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, Gu Mang nodded. At this moment, Lin Fei calmed Gu Mang’s mind and finally settled his heart, earnestly sensing his surroundings, even though there seemed to be nothing around.

At this time, Lin Fei placed his palm on Gu Mang, sat down cross-legged himself, feeling Gu Mang’s meridians. Lin Fei identified nine meridians and then began using the magic mat, drawing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi to converge and surge into Gu Mang.

"Ah!!"

Gu Mang cried out in anguish, feeling immense pain as if thousands of needles were piercing his body, bringing unbearable suffering.

Lin Fei sharply commanded, "Hold on! Only in this way can you become a supreme being between Heaven and Earth."

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, Gu Mang felt a profound resonance, as if the words were striking a morning bell. Sweating all over, in extreme pain, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

Unblocking meridians is absolutely a colossal project, let alone expanding another’s meridians, which was incredibly challenging.

However, as time ticked away, after two hours of sitting immobile, Lin Fei finally finished unblocking three meridians. The last step was to help Gu Mang familiarize with the sensation of Heaven and Earth Qi.

Lin Fei wasn’t in a hurry, he let Gu Mang earnestly perceive his surroundings, and finally, after one or two hours of probing, Gu Mang finally discovered something different, a power unseen continuously flowing into her body.

"Is this the Primordial Energy?" Gu Mang said in surprise, but he quickly felt pain, his body filled in every cell, making him feel bloated. This was the result of Heaven and Earth Qi flooding his body.

Lin Fei stopped at Gu Mang’s critical point.

Then he let Gu Mang try to use this energy to do something meaningful, like navigating the meridians he’d opened. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

However, although there was an effect, it was not evident.

Lin Fei knew this was due to unfamiliarity, and once familiar, Gu Mang would reach a level where he could control Primordial Energy freely, like him.
