Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 624 - 627: Riding a Rocket!
Ning Hua didn't intend to hide anything and immediately told Liu Ergou.
"The Internal Cultivation Method you're practicing is, as you said, only able to absorb the purple aura. Circulating your Qi doesn't seem to increase it," she began. "However, you're mistaken about one thing. The circulation isn't useless; it just doesn't increase your True Qi. Your practice has other effects!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ergou's gaze toward Ning Hua filled with even more anticipation.
"Senior Sister, tell me, quick! I can't wait!"
Seeing Liu Ergou's anxious demeanor, Ning Hua sighed. "Don't be so impatient. Listen to me. Even though circulating your Qi doesn't increase your True Qi, it allows you to become more proficient in controlling it!"
"Er Gou, let me ask you," she continued, "Since you started this technique, is it true that you only cultivate in the morning and never circulate your Qi at any other time?"
Liu Ergou didn't answer immediately, pondering for a moment before nodding. "You're right, Senior Sister. I really only cultivate in the morning. I'm busy with other things the rest of the time."
After receiving Liu Ergou's definitive answer, Ning Hua nodded. "Mm, that explains it! No wonder you have such poor control over your True Qi and sometimes can't even use it!"
At this, Liu Ergou raised his hand to make a small rebuttal. "Senior Sister, I think you're a little off. You say my control over my True Qi is poor, but when I heal people, my control isn't bad at all. It's as precise as can be!"
However, Ning Hua ignored his rebuttal and continued, "Er Gou, I've already laid out the second phase of your special training! Your second phase of special training is simple: continuously circulate your Qi. Once your morning training is done, you will keep circulating your Qi until you have no strength or stamina left. Only then will you stop. After you've rested enough, you will continue."
Ning Hua's words left Liu Ergou dumbfounded.
This training sounds incredibly tedious and boring.
It already took him over half an hour to complete one cycle. And he had always practiced the Lesser Circulation, never the Grand Circulation.
And if I have to practice the Grand Circulation... I can't even imagine it.
Noticing his silence, Ning Hua spoke as if she could read his mind. "Er Gou, you need to understand that real cultivation is just this dull and boring!
"There are no shortcuts on the path of martial arts, only hard training! Only after you've been hammered and tempered thousands of times can you shine with your own true brilliance!
"Your technique may be unique, but you can't control it right now. I'm only at the Dark Energy stage, but if I go all out, I can still knock you flat! You don't want something like that to happen again, do you?"
Upon hearing Ning Hua's remarks, Liu Ergou couldn't help but lower his head. What she said was true. His previous cultivation had been exceptionally smooth, without any real difficulties.
Well, not entirely without difficulties.
Except for the bottleneck with the Body Cultivation Technique, the rest of the time had been smooth sailing. Thinking of this, Liu Ergou finally understood.
He took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "I understand what you mean, Senior Sister! I won't slack off anymore. But you have to tell me, what stage do I have to reach for this phase of training to be over? Also, should I practice the Grand Circulation or the Lesser Circulation?"
"Hmm..." Ning Hua pondered for a moment before speaking. "When circulating your Qi becomes a bodily instinct, this phase of your training will be complete.
"As for the Grand or Lesser Circulation? Start with the Lesser Circulation. When your Lesser Circulation reaches the state I described, you can begin practicing the Grand Circulation.
"Of course, practicing the Grand Circulation will be more difficult, so the requirements will be lowered accordingly. You just need to reach a point where your Qi moves with your will!"
Having received his training requirements, Liu Ergou said nothing more. Of course, he didn't start training immediately. The afternoon had been designated as a rest period, and so it remained. That couldn't be arbitrarily changed.
Just like that, the afternoon passed. In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Early the next morning, Liu Ergou got up to cultivate as usual. After he finished, he began to circulate his Qi according to the plan Ning Hua had laid out. At first, he was often interrupted by both external and internal factors. However, as time went on, he quickly became able to ignore outside distractions. He began to focus solely on circulating his Qi.
Watching from the side, Ning Hua couldn't help but widen her eyes in astonishment. In her view, Er Gou's talent was truly heaven-defying. Although anyone could learn to circulate their Qi, it involved the practice of stillness meditation. If one's foundation in stillness wasn't good, they couldn't circulate their Qi properly. Forcing it would only lead to cultivation deviation, causing them to spit up blood and die on the spot.
Yet Liu Ergou had managed to focus on circulating his Qi after only a short while. This level of aptitude truly made Ning Hua feel ashamed. Back then, even with Swallow Li protecting her, it had taken her a full week to barely manage the circulation. And Liu Ergou...
Thinking of this, Ning Hua couldn't help but feel dejected.
「Time flew, and another week passed by.」
Nothing of note happened during the peaceful week, except for Liu Ergou's progress. His improvement was astonishingly fast, mirroring his practical combat ability. He seemed to change every day. On the first day, he could barely focus on circulating his Qi. By the second day, he had already doubled the speed of his circulation. After seven days, Liu Ergou had successfully transitioned from practicing the Lesser Circulation to the Grand Circulation.
His control over the True Qi in his body had taken a qualitative leap. Now, he could easily manipulate the True Qi within his body. Although he couldn't project it externally, he could use it to multiply his combat strength. Even if Ning Hua used her full strength, she could only fight him to a draw.
This left Ning Hua feeling somewhat dispirited. In just half a month, a complete novice had transformed into a member of the Ancient Martial Sects.
Of course, what Ning Hua didn't know was that it had only been a little over a month since Liu Ergou had first started practicing the Body Cultivation Technique. In just one month, he had stepped into the Houtian Realm.
If Ning Hua knew this, she probably would have fainted from shock on the spot. Liu Ergou's cultivation speed wasn't just like taking a plane; it was more like riding a rocket.
