Chapter 7: The Astonished Li Wenguang (New Book, Please Follow!! Seeking Recommendations and Monthly Votes!)

Qi Rushing to the Disease, within the Inner Core Skill, was actually about gathering sufficient "Qi," which would then naturally flow along the body's meridians.

This circulation followed the body's own natural laws,

"Qi" would traverse the meridians instinctively, and this process did not require control of the "Qi"; control might actually be counterproductive and could lead to deviations in the flow.

And during this process, the "Qi" would continuously search for the body's "disease focal points."

This was also the first minor realm of Qi Rushing to the Disease, "Finding Disease."

In the course of its circulation, the "Qi" would encounter "obstacles," which might be old hidden injuries, current ailments, or even future potential illnesses, which are dormant problems.

These "diseases" were divided into minor and major focal points depending on the difficulty of resolving them.

Generally speaking, minor disease focal points would be broken through on the first circulation of the "Qi," thus starting to mend the flawed body.

Whereas if the "Qi" couldn't break through a major disease focal point, it would autonomously change its route and mark the spot, repeating this process until all the focal points in the body were identified.

With that, the first stage of Qi Rushing to the Disease, Finding Disease, was considered complete.

After this process was finished, because some minor disease focal points were repaired, the "Qi" and physical fitness would be strengthened, leading to an increase in strength.

What Wang Sheng's Qi-Blood Power was autonomously doing right now was essentially the "Finding Disease" phase.

"How long will it take?"

He had no master, nor any experience.

So he wasn't quite sure how long the process would actually take.

Then he saw a progress bar appear.

"Qi Rushing to the Disease: Finding Disease (1.5%)"

Wang Sheng was stunned when he saw it.

"Does a progress bar appear for everything I do?"

Upon further consideration, it wasn't incomprehensible.

After all, even chrysanthemum planting had levels and progress bars.

Although this process was the Qi-Blood Power moving according to the body's rules on its own, the Qi-Blood Power was his, so it could be said to be his own effort, right?

Observing for a while, Wang Sheng found that the circulation of Qi-Blood Power inside his body had indeed accelerated, but not to an outrageous extent; the growth of the progress bar wasn't particularly fast.

The key was that Qi Rushing to the Disease, like chrysanthemum planting, had a progress bar but no levels, which meant that even though the speed had increased, it was still fixed.

The biggest benefit was that he wouldn't fail in this process of Qi Rushing to the Disease.

He had realized this while planting chrysanthemums; no matter what he did, the chrysanthemum seeds would always grow.

Having this advantage was more than enough.

Or rather, without guidance from predecessors, this ability was more important than anything else.

What Wang Sheng needed to do now was to let it develop autonomously.

"Just not sure if raising the level of the Inner Core Skill would accelerate this circulation speed..."

Wang Sheng kept this in mind.

He planned to test it out after dealing with the chrysanthemums tomorrow.

As for tonight, sorry, his biological clock was hitting, and to say it again, a health-conscious person never stays up late.

...

The next morning, as dawn faintly broke, Wang Sheng was practicing Ba Duan Jin in front of his house as usual.

Ever since his breakthrough with the Ba Duan Jin for the second time, the effects of his practice had increasingly improved, and his Qi-Blood Power had grown rapidly.

Accordingly, the consumption also increased, and the Tiger Bone Ointment, at the current rate of use, would last only a few more days. He was recently troubled by this; having used the Tiger Bone Ointment, he really didn't want to rely on eating meat to replenish.

He planned to ask Li Wenguang how the Tiger Bone Ointment was made; if possible, he wanted to replicate it.

But this would have to wait until after today.

Lately in the village, hardly anyone dared to approach him, fearing offending the Sun Family.

Li Wenguang's family was no exception.

However, Wang Sheng did understand.

Their family was just an ordinary one, and if they offended the Sun Family by helping him, the consequences would be too much for them to bear.

They had already done him a great favor by busily helping him before and even sending over a Cultivation Technique and Tiger Bone Ointment.

After practicing a set of Ba Duan Jin, Wang Sheng began to move out the chrysanthemums that had already been dried, preparing an extra amount just in case, roughly 600 pounds.

As a martial artist, he found it easy to move these chrysanthemums.

It was just that halfway through moving them, a familiar person arrived at the door.

"Uncle Li?"

Wang Sheng truly had not expected Li Wenguang to come at this time.

He knew his own limitations, but did Li Wenguang?

That day, when Li Wenguang spoke to him, he mentioned two methods: one was to become a martial artist, and the other was to strengthen himself and then run away.

Probably, at that time, Li Wenguang thought more about the latter possibility.

To strengthen and run away.

"Yun Sheng, take these."

Without saying much, Li Wenguang just handed Wang Sheng a small cloth bag.

The bag felt uneven, as if there were stones inside, and Wang Sheng knew it contained silver.

"This silver is collected by me and some people in the village. Take it and leave. You should have used the Tiger Bone Ointment, right? Your Brother Li said that it's chaotic outside now, but if you're capable, leading the way isn't a big issue. Be careful, and there shouldn't be too much of a problem..."

Li Wenguang rambled on and on without noticing the pile of chrysanthemums at the door.

Wang Sheng could only smile bitterly; the people of this village were really simple, even gathering money to help him escape. And indeed, if they were not simple-hearted, the original resident might not have managed to live by eating from a hundred families until now.

In this regard, the old scholar's contribution was indispensable. Reading enlightens people, and the generation of Li Wenguang was greatly influenced by the old scholar.

However, it seemed that he might have to let down this kind-hearted intention.

"Uncle Li, look at what's there first?"

Wang Sheng forcibly turned Li Wenguang's body to face the chrysanthemums he had just moved out, using his martial artist strength, against which Li Wenguang had no chance of resisting.

"What's this?"

Li Wenguang finally saw the objects at the door.

"Where did you find so many chrysanthemums?"

"There are some in the house, and I managed to gather some more."

Others might believe this explanation, but Li Wenguang knew enough to find it nearly impossible to believe, yet he simply nodded without saying more.

Li Wenguang's son, Li Yongfeng, was an escorter; knowledgeable and broad-minded, he was aware that this world was full of wonders.

At the same time, he also knew that some questions don't need to be asked.

Any method that could solve a problem was a good one.

"If you have gathered enough, then that's good to say, but you still need to be careful. After all, the Sun Family are wealthy and powerful, with martial artists in their clan. If they really insist, you won't stand a chance."

Not only did Wang Sheng understand this principle, Li Wenguang did too.

They knew that the powerful families might not play by the rules.

Gathering the required amount of chrysanthemums was only the first step, and a life-or-death one at that.

"Don't worry, Uncle Li, look at this!"

Then, in front of Li Wenguang, Wang Sheng started to juggle the stone mill in his hand.

Li Wenguang was aware of the weight of the stone mill, and he also knew that Wang Sheng did not possess divine power.

But there Wang Sheng was, lifting the stone mill right before his eyes. What did this mean?

Li Wenguang felt it was all like a dream.

"Did you really make it?"
