Chapter 26: The Secret Manual of Qigong

  After dinner, Du Le solemnly put forward his employment requirements to Jiang Yun.

  Dong Lili is right, Du Le really needs an employee, and it's better to hire Jiang Yun who has a guarantor than to recruit someone he doesn't know at random.

  Du Le and Jiang Yun agreed to meet at the warehouse tomorrow afternoon to discuss work matters, and both parties had reached a preliminary employment agreement. Dong Lili still wanted to drag Jiang Yun to continue shopping, Du Le had his own things to do, and naturally didn't want to go with them.

  After saying goodbye to Dong Lili and the others, Du Le went to an electronics mall and bought a domestically-made laptop with a decent configuration and a wireless internet package.

  When Du Le was in college, he had always envied his classmates who owned laptops. This time, his wish finally came true. Next, Du Le went to the supermarket to buy some snacks and daily necessities before taking a bus back to his residence.

  Back at his residence, Du Le first casually put down the things he had bought and suddenly relaxed, then half-reclined on the sofa in the living room, resting on the sofa while sorting out the events of the past two days.

  Jin Cheng wants to open two stores in the city, which requires a supply of goods. In Fuhai City, a warehouse has been rented as a transit station for goods, and some manufacturers need to be contacted. Things seem to be one thing at a time, not many, but it takes a lot of time to do them, Du Le is a bit overwhelmed.

  But Du Le thinks that at least one thing was done well today, which is to decide to hire Jiang Yun, who can help his friend and properly alleviate his own pressure.

  Du Le decided that tomorrow when he sees Jiang Yun, he must arrange some important work for her to do. Perhaps it was a different mindset now, as a boss, Du Le had subconsciously thought about how to exploit his employees in order to bring out their greatest potential.

  Apart from being busy with his own business, Du Le had one very important thing that he never forgot. That was the practice of Qi secret book "Changchun Jue" he bought at Jibao Ge, a secret book said to be able to cultivate Qi and become an immortal.

  It's no wonder that Du Le would treasure the "Changchun Secret" so much. After all, who among those who have been exposed to Chinese civilization legends since childhood hasn't had a martial arts complex? How many people haven't fantasized about the possibility of immortals existing? However, as people grow up and receive scientific education and influence, they naturally lose many of their fantasies.

  But now Du Le is different, with a magical space bag, plus a transmitter, and even transmitted to an ancient place, which in itself is an incredible experience. Du Le couldn't help but believe that anything is possible.

  Du Le quickly took out the Changchun Jue from the space and sat on the sofa, slowly reading it.

  After carefully reading it, Du Le felt unexpectedly that although this Changchun Jue was in traditional Chinese characters and looked more tiring to read, the content inside was simple and easy to understand, and he found it not difficult to read at all.

  "Changchun Jue" is divided into two parts, upper and lower, all written in one book. The upper part is simple, describing how to practice Qi, mainly laying the foundation; the lower part is about some techniques of applying Qi, simply put, it's about applying some magical techniques with incantations.

  The first part of Changchun Jue is divided into three stages: guiding the breath into the body, absorbing the breath to form a pill, and refining the breath to build the body. The content of the first part is explained in great detail, detailing every step of the practice, including the sensations one should experience during cultivation. Especially in the first stage of guiding the breath into the body, it instructs practitioners on what posture to use, how to breathe through the nose and mouth, frequency, and even the number of words to recite, all explained so clearly that anyone who can read will understand.

  Du Le couldn't help but feel excited and immediately began to practice according to the instructions in the book. He sat cross-legged on the sofa, placed his hands and feet as indicated, then closed his eyes, excluding distractions...

  A moment later, Du Le opened his eyes in disappointment, and he didn't feel any of the aura described in the secret book.

  There were no examples for reference, so he could only think repeatedly about whether he had made a mistake somewhere.

  Action and breathing are all recorded according to the secret recipe, use your heart to feel, especially feel the place where the secret recipe records the storage of Qi, the Dan Tian Qi Hai below the abdomen.

  Was it that his own cultivation time was not enough? Du Le thought, just now he had been thinking about the steps of guiding the air into his body, thinking about feeling the existence of the air. At first, people became much quieter, and there were no distractions in their minds, but as time went on, people became more and more impatient.

  In fact, Changchun Jue in Jin Yang City or the entire Chu State is just a Taoist health preservation scripture that anyone can buy with money, but there has never been a legend of someone practicing it successfully.

  "The Law of Conservation of Energy" Du Le didn't know how it happened, but a term suddenly popped into his mind, and then his entire train of thought began to diverge.

  If what is called "qi" is a kind of energy that can float between heaven and earth, it can only be absorbed by the human body under specific conditions.

  Du Le suddenly thought of a possibility, whether the energy absorbed by the transmission device was the "qi" recorded on the secret recipe?

  Du Le exclaimed, as the saying goes, bold assumption, careful verification. Du Le adjusted his posture again and made preparations according to the instructions on the secret book. This time, Du Le's target was the positioning transmitter in his brain.

  The locator beacon is always absorbing energy at all times, this is what Du Le is certain of. The target is confirmed and the energy indeed exists.

  Du Le concentrated his mind and focused on feeling the air.

  After a long time, he finally felt the existence of Qi and its movement. Du Le immediately seized the opportunity to guide the Qi into his body's Dantian. As long as he completed the cycle of guiding Qi into his body for one week, he would be considered to have entered the gate. It's like going to school - going to school doesn't mean you can learn knowledge, but it provides an opportunity to learn; mastering knowledge depends on individual effort, and only after learning can you advance. Feeling Qi is difficult, but once you guide Qi into your body, the next time will be easy, directly using the Qi inside your body to guide the Qi outside, without needing to slowly feel the existence of Qi again.

  The night outside was quiet, with occasional insect sounds rising and falling. After a while, Du Le finally finished with a happy face. He actually succeeded! Du Le was very excited, so excited that he wanted to jump up.

  Pu Tong, Du Le forgot that he was originally sitting cross-legged on the sofa. As soon as he made a move, he fell to the ground and fortunately didn't bump into the edge of the coffee table in front of the sofa.

  He couldn't get up for a while. Because his legs were bent and fixed in one position for too long, the numbness caused by insufficient blood flow didn't bother him much. He struggled to crawl onto the sofa, stretched out his legs, and rested for a bit.

  He took out his new phone and looked at it, the clock showed 4:27. He didn't expect that cultivating would take so long, during which he hadn't felt anything at all.
