[Thoughtless Meditation] is a state of qualitative change, requiring the use of 15 billion neurons, which is an extremely demanding task and definitely necessitates an exceptionally strong body!
Lu Li was very fortunate that Xiao Cha had already guided him onto the Martial Arts.
Otherwise, you'll have to start practicing from scratch, wasting several months of time.
At this moment, Xiao Cha saw Lu Li looking at her with excitement and asked with some confusion:
"What's up? Did you come up with a trick?"
Lu Li nodded vigorously. "Thanks to you for transferring your Internal Breath to me! It turns out that the reason my Spiritual Sense kept giving me warnings was because my physical constitution was insufficient!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cha immediately understood what was going on.
The human spirit exists in relation to the physical body; to achieve something in Spirit Refinement, one must have Martial Arts skills to support it!
She learned this secret from the Governor's daughter's master, which is why she taught Lu Li martial arts.
Xiao Cha slapped her thigh excitedly and exclaimed:
"That makes things simple! I'll provide you with Internal Breath; just practice hard!"
Without hesitation, Xiao Cha placed her hand on Lu Li's chest and channeled a large amount of Internal Breath into him.
Internal Breath is the precious vital energy that the five internal organs and six bowels have painstakingly accumulated in the human body.
Xiao Cha's actions are tantamount to giving her own blood to Lu Li to drink!
Lu Li dared not waste the opportunity and quickly began practicing, allowing his body to absorb all the Internal Breath.
At this moment, the rosy glow on Xiao Cha's face had disappeared, and her complexion was slightly pale.
She ran back into the house, took out the medicine bottle containing "Blood Vitality Pill," and swallowed one pill.
Half an hour later, Lu Li finished practicing again.
Although he was covered in sweat, he was radiant, full of energy, and in excellent condition!
Xiao Cha pressed her hand up again, gritting her teeth as she channeled a large amount of Internal Breath!
The fatigue vanished instantly, Lu Li felt an endless surge of energy coursing through his body. He was so excited that he wanted to roar to the sky!
He unleashed a powerful and vigorous "White Dragon Whip Technique," filling the courtyard with the resounding thuds of his bones.
With each movement, qi and blood, along with Internal Breath, fully permeate the bones and fascia, causing a tingling and numb sensation throughout the body—an incredibly pleasurable feeling.
The exercise, which was originally tiring and painful, was completed without me even realizing it.
Lu Li excitedly wiped away his sweat, then looked up and saw Xiao Cha's pale face.
Continuously activating Internal Breath causes extreme damage to the body!
Seeing that Xiao Cha raised her hand, about to transfer her Internal Breath again.
Lu Li quickly dissuaded him, "It's getting dark, let's leave it at that for today."
Xiao Cha said dismissively, "This is nothing, I'm perfectly fine~"
The girl spoke lightly, but her pale face was truly worrying, and Lu Li refused to do it no matter what.
At this moment, Wan Qing also came over to advise, "You've already activated your Internal Breath three times; don't damage your internal organs."
The human body is delicate and fragile; once overworked, it can lead to chronic illnesses.
The two Xiao Cha, knowing it was for their own good, had no choice but to give up, but were still somewhat unwilling:
"A lot of my Internal Breath was absorbed by the flesh and blood along the way; otherwise, the effect would have been much stronger!"
This Life Energy is extremely beneficial, and the body will instinctively absorb it and is unwilling to release it.
There was nothing we could do about it. Wan Qing smiled and said, "I'll go and prepare some medicinal food to nourish you both."
"Wan Qing ~ You're so good~ I bullied you, and you still treat me so well~"
Xiao Cha hugged Wan Qing and gave her a deep kiss.
Wan Qing pushed her away impatiently; her chest still hurt, it must have been smacked and left marks.
~~~~~~~~~~
As night fell, a rich aroma gradually filled the courtyard.
Bored, Lu Li took out the rocket launcher and practiced its operation, just in case.
Even someone who can't read can use this thing, so it's not difficult at all. He quickly mastered it.
Half an hour later, Tong Shao ran out and invited everyone to eat.
Sitting down at the dining table, I saw that Wan Qing had stewed chicken soup in an earthenware pot, which also contained medicinal herbs such as goji berries and ginseng.
This must be a medicinal dish, but it seems to have been cooked a little too quickly.
Lu Li didn't quite understand and didn't pay much attention, so he drank a bowl of chicken soup first.
A warm feeling immediately filled his stomach, and Lu Li couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, "Delicious and nourishing!"
There were also stir-fried bok choy on the table, which was fresh, tender, and crisp, making it hard to stop eating.
However, this kind of green vegetable needs to be stir-fried over high heat to lock in its moisture, and a wood-fired stove probably doesn't have that kind of heat output.
None of the group knew how to cook, so they didn't suspect anything and kept praising Wan Qing's cooking skills, eating all the dishes clean.
Only the charred beams bear witness to the traces of the last fire...
~~~~~~~~~~
On the second day, Lu Li still got up very early.
After a night of nourishment and growth, the body became even stronger, and the sense of crisis in the mind lessened slightly.
This proves that the previous guess was completely correct; the root of the problem lies in insufficient physical fitness.
Lu Li entered the courtyard, lit two Calming Incense, and then, under the influence of the fragrance, began practicing the White Dragon Whip Technique.
The Calming Incense refreshes the mind and invigorates the spirit, making one feel clear-headed.
Moreover, like other traditional incense methods, it also has the effects of protecting the liver and lungs, and promoting the flow of vital energy and blood.
Lu Li couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Wang Siqi lights it every day; it really is very beneficial."
"Of course, the powerful and wealthy aren't stupid."
Xiao Cha came out of the house. "Many landlords and rich people without any cultivation also buy Calming Incense, just in order to prolong their lives."
The girl looked radiant and had recovered after a night's rest.
Seeing the two slowly burning Calming Incense, she shuddered and said with a pained expression, "You're really going to use them as mosquito coils?"
Lu Li casually replied, "It's worthless anyway, use it if you need to. Remember to replenish it if I forget later."
"..."
A change in mindset takes time; Xiao Cha is completely unaccustomed to using expensive cultivation resources like mosquito coils.
She stared intently at the man in front of her for a while, her heart filled with curiosity.
This unexpected man not only saved his life, but also completely changed his life...
With important matters at hand, Xiao Cha quickly banished her distracting thoughts and said, "I want to try a new method to improve the efficiency of transferring Internal Breath."
Lu Li readily agreed, nodding and saying, "Sure, go ahead and try."
Xiao Cha blushed. "Then open your mouth..."
Lu Li obediently opened his mouth, but unexpectedly the girl suddenly inserted her middle and ring fingers.
"Even through the skin, there is still some loss of Internal Breath. Try putting my finger in your mouth."
"Oh, oh," Lu Li mumbled twice, then closed his mouth and took the girl's finger into his mouth.
It was a rather intimate gesture, but having lived together for so long and been through so much together, they didn't feel particularly awkward.
The next second, a surge of heat rushed into Lu Li's mouth.
Just as Xiao Cha had predicted, the total amount was more than before.
However, there was no qualitative change; Lu Li absorbed it all before he even finished one round of punches.
However, he was already very satisfied and said excitedly:
"At this rate, I should be able to try to break through to the [Thoughtless Meditation] stage in about 20 days. Thank you, Xiao Cha!"
"More than 20 days..."
Xiao Cha lowered her head, staring at the gleaming toes of her shoes as if deep in thought, a blush gradually spreading across her face and neck.
After a while, she raised her head and hesitated, "I have an even faster way to prevent the Internal Breath from passing through my arms, but..."
Lu Li quickly replied, "Then let's try it quickly! Of course, the faster the better!"
Xiao Cha hesitated for a moment, then actually started unbuttoning her clothes?
Seeing Lu Li's puzzled expression, she opened her clothes...
Lu Li was startled. Fortunately, the girl was wearing underwear, only revealing two full, white semicircles.
Xiao Cha's eyes flickered, but she forced herself to remain calm and said:
"Press your mouth on my Tanzhong Acupoint; this will allow your Internal Breath to be sent out directly, without going through your arm, thus minimizing energy loss."
The Tanzhong Acupoint is located in the center of the chest.
