After finishing the meal, we tidied up a bit.

Su Ziyang wanted to see what Zhang Rongyi meant by "internal strength manifesting externally," and Fairy Li was also curious.

The three chatted and rested for a while, digesting their food.

Zhang Rongyi settled into the chair, then closed his eyes slightly and formed a meditation mudra with his hands.

The lights in Zhang Rongyi's living room weren't particularly bright, and Su Ziyang and Fairy Li just sat there quietly watching Zhang Rongyi.

About ten minutes later, Su Ziyang suddenly noticed a flash of golden light on Zhang Rongyi's chest. This golden light was different from the aura that Su Ziyang usually saw when using the Qi Observation Method.

It was something real, like a light source. Fairy Li was startled when she saw it, and sat up straight, staring intently at the golden light on Zhang Rongyi's chest.

As time passed, the golden light grew brighter and brighter. Then, the golden light slowly rotated and moved, from the lower abdomen (Dantian) to the forehead (Yintang point), and then surged upwards again from there...

Then it floated from the Baihui acupoint to the top of the head, slowly began to rotate, and grew larger and larger until it solidified into a golden ball, about the size of two palms.

Su Ziyang and Fairy Li exchanged a glance, looking at each other in bewilderment.

But neither of them dared to speak, both afraid of startling Zhang Rongyi's success.

The shimmering golden sphere hovered for about two or three minutes before returning to Zhang Rongyi's middle dantian along the path it had just emerged from.

As the golden light faded, Zhang Rongyi slowly opened his eyes, smiling as he looked at Fairy Li and Su Ziyang.

"This is something I've cultivated for thirty years; I rely on it for healing and health maintenance. I also used it this afternoon when I practiced writing with my finger pointing in the air."

What kind of cultivation method are you practicing?

Su Ziyang asked with some curiosity.

Tao Te Ching.

Tao Te Ching?

Although Su Ziyang knew that the Tao Te Ching was a scripture for cultivation, he had never seen anyone actually practice what was written in it. Su Ziyang asked Mr. Mengfei about it, but Mr. Mengfei did not explain much and simply told Su Ziyang to practice the Midnight-Noon Heaven and Earth Art properly.

Having met such a highly accomplished person today, Su Ziyang asked a couple more questions in detail.

Although Zhang Rongyi generously displayed his skills, he did not want to reveal too many details about his cultivation.

Seeing that Zhang Rongyi didn't want to talk about it, Su Ziyang didn't feel comfortable asking any further questions.

"Young friend Su Ziyang, could you demonstrate what you've learned?"

Su Ziyang didn't know how to proceed, so he simply stood still and casually waved his arm.

With a wave of his arm, the True Qi he had cultivated day and night instantly spread out.

The powerful True Qi circulated around his arm, leaving Zhang Rongyi astonished.

"Alright, alright! Stop now. You young man, your cultivation is quite good. But didn't your teacher teach you how to use it? Today I can teach you one, my family's secret technique, called 'One-Handed Grab.' Do you want to learn it?"

Su Ziyang withdrew his arm, unsure whether he should learn it or not.

I don't even know if learning this is a good thing.

They had no idea what "One-Handed Grab" meant.

It seems that Fairy Li has now become Su Ziyang's pillar of support. Su Ziyang turned to look at Fairy Li, Fairy Li nodded. Only then did Su Ziyang agree with peace of mind.

"Originally, the One-Handed Grab was a secret family skill, requiring me to learn and master it in conjunction with my practice of the Tao Te Ching. However, seeing your abundant True Qi, and considering our different sects, I will teach you a small part of the One-Handed Grab ' technique called ' Grab Illness Qi,' which is used to cure illnesses."

Zhang Rongyi asked Su Ziyang to sit next to him, and then extended his right hand to demonstrate for Su Ziyang.

Zhang Rongyi's teachings were really not difficult; Su Ziyang only needed to learn them twice to master them.

The One-Handed Grab Illness Qi" technique involves channeling the energy cultivated within the body to the hands, forming a claw shape with the five fingers, and then channeling the energy to the fingertips.

The five fingers, like five steel needles, pierced into the patient's lesions, then plucked out all the dark energy from the lesions and flung it to the ground. It's crucial not to fling it towards a person; only fling it to the ground while silently chanting, "Go to the ground!"

However, after rehearsing twice, the two found that the performance styles were completely different.

The golden light emanating from Zhang Rongyi's fingers was visible to the naked eye, and the golden light could extend about an inch beyond his fingers.

Su Ziyang had nothing there, but if one knew the Qi Observation Method, one would see that Su Ziyang's entire palm emitted a milky white mist-like substance resembling a palm.

"It's done!"

Even without Zhang Rongyi saying it, Su Ziyang knew it was done; he could feel that his palm had indeed extended a portion.

"Alright. Consider this my apology; hopefully it will clear up any misunderstandings. Haha!"

Hearing Zhang Rongyi's words, Su Ziyang felt even more embarrassed.

Zhang Rongyi Zhang Rongyi that the two of them stay at his house, but Fairy Li refused. Seeing that Fairy Li was a girl and didn't want to stay, Zhang Rongyi didn't stand on ceremony and said that if they didn't want to go back, they could chat again tomorrow!

After leaving the house, Fairy Li used her phone to book a hotel. Su Ziyang was standing behind Fairy Li Fairy Li and One-Handed Grab her hair.

Su Ziyang discovered that although this kind of energy does not have a significant, visible effect on the human body, it does have a visible effect on hair.

Fairy Li no longer styled her hair in a bun; she simply tied it into a ponytail. When Su Ziyang touched it, the ends of Fairy Li's hair moved slightly.

Su Ziyang was having a great time when Fairy Li Su Ziyang turned around and grabbed his ear.

"Ouch! What's wrong? Does that hurt?"

Su Ziyang's ear was pulled, and he grinned.

"Why are you scratching at me like that? My head is so itchy! Pulling your ear is too mild a punishment. All you do all day is play around. Take your phone, call a taxi! Find a place to sleep!"

Fairy Li let go of Su Ziyang Su Ziyang pouted, looked down at his phone, and opened a ride-hailing app to hail a taxi.

In the hotel, Fairy Li lay Yangyang on the bed after taking a shower.

"Let's buy something for Lao Zhang tomorrow," Su Ziyang said to Fairy Li while drying his hair.

"I don't care. I didn't learn their skills." Fairy Li looked down at her phone, showing no intention of getting involved.

"Tch, whatever. I'll ask my master if he's finished with his work."

Su Ziyang dialed Mr. Mengfei's number. Mr. Mengfei said he wasn't finished yet and asked Su Ziyang how he was doing. Su Ziyang said he was fine, and Mr. Mengfei hung up the phone.

"Your advisor is gone, and your master is annoyed. Stop asking. Also, buy some honey or something tomorrow. Time for bed, I'm tired!"

Su Ziyang didn't know why Fairy Li slept so well; she slept even faster than a cell phone shutting down!

Su Ziyang looked at Fairy Li, who was already asleep, and helplessly lay down to sleep as well.

The next morning, Su Ziyang and Fairy Li found a large shopping mall in the area, bought a lot of things, and then headed to Zhang Rongyi's house.
