At this moment, Xiao Fei brought over a bowl of chicken soup, holding it up high. Looking at the three clever little sprites, Lin Yi smiled and said to Xiao Shu, "This time, I'll help you for Xiao Sang and Xiao Fei's sake. There won't be a next time."
With that, he sent a stream of true qi into Xiao Shu's body.
"Thank you, sir," the three little foxes said in unison.
Life in the secluded valley was very peaceful, making it ideal for reading, writing, cultivating one's character, and nurturing one's nature.
Xiao Shu finally cultivated true qi. It had long since trained its Dao arts to the Night Wanderer level, second only to Old Tu among the foxes of the secluded valley. Once it resolved to cultivate diligently, its progress naturally came swiftly.
The other two little foxes, Xiao Sang and Xiao Fei, were both at the Shell Leaving stage. Their souls could leave their bodies, but could not yet venture outside. They needed the protection of incense offerings, or even a gust of wind might scatter their souls.
During this time, Consort Yuan visited the secluded valley once more. She sat with Lin Yi and discussed the Dao, praising the path of qi refinement without reserve.
In particular, the qi refinement method clearly recorded the locations of the three hundred and sixty-five major acupoints of the human body. Though the acupoints cultivated through qi refinement differed from those condensed in the martial path of Human Immortals, they still held immense reference value.
Martial Saints relied on supremely pure fist intent to sense, measure, and condense acupoints, ultimately turning their physical bodies into immortals. The first step was being able to accurately locate those acupoints.
If one could not find them, then everything else was empty talk.
