Chapter 196: Chapter 177 Guidance
The space inside this luxury RV is incredibly large, with a leisure hall, dining room, bedroom, and a two-level tatami layout. The addition of two more people hardly made any impact at all.
Little Black was driving, and Cao Shaolin was in the passenger seat.
Worried that Zhang Hao would get bored, I found him a Tom and Jerry DVD. After briefly teaching him how to use the TV, I let him watch the cartoon in the leisure hall while snacking by himself.
Come to think of it, for ancient people experiencing this sort of thing for the first time, watching TV dramas and movies might make them feel out of place, while cartoons could be more easily understood in terms of resemblance to shadow puppetry.
Zhang Hao, who had never come across such entertainment facilities before, was instantly engrossed, so much so that he stopped eating his snacks and remarked,
âLearning to identify acupoints and veins requires quiet. I wonât cause any disturbance.â
âŠ
Seeing him like this, Tao Yu decided not to bother him further.
At first, he had thought Zhang Hao might be the one to teach him, but now that Cheng Lixue was personally taking over, he was naturally more satisfied.
Not to mention her more meticulous mind and richer experience, just having a beautiful woman instructing him was surely more effective than rough man like Zhang Hao could ever be.
Cheng Lixue, dressed in a white martial arts uniform, touched the bedroom mattress, feeling its softness, and once again her face showed astonishment,
âThis world truly knows how to enjoy itself.â
âJust sit wherever you like, donât be shy, I am the one seeking instruction from you after all,â Tao Yu said with a smile to a somewhat nervous Cheng Lixue.
Having interacted with them, it was clear that both individuals had very upright character setups, albeit a bit naĂŻve.
They tried to appear savvy but instead radiated a sort of pure simplicity.
I have to say, Cheng Lixue has good fundamentals, and thereâs a mature charm about her that could easily outshine those celebrities from the Green Family. Of all the people Tao Yu had met, only the young rich woman could overshadow herâwell, and Sun Shiqing if she dressed as a girl.
The head maid Lara was also on par with her.
âLearning to identify acupoints and veins is generally passed down directly by a master because itâs best if I lead with my Inner Strength within your body first, to give you a feel for it. Otherwise, if you rely solely on verbal instruction and demonstration, youâre unlikely to retain the impression,â Cheng Lixue said as she sat on the edge of the bed, flicking her hair beside her ear, her cheeks blushing slightly.
âThis is very dangerous. If the teacher has any malice, they could easily cause irreversible damage. And if they deliberately mislead you about certain aspects, it could also lead to serious misunderstanding.â
âSince Heroine Cheng has made a point of stating this, I think she can be completely trusted. Please, go ahead. I wonât blame you if thereâs a mistake,â Tao Yu said, not worried about the damage as he had [One Proof Forever Proof], which assured his recovery from any mishaps. Naturally, his words sounded reassuring.
However, these words of trust, when heard by Cheng Lixue, made her feel a twinge of guilt.
She had doubted him initially.
Moreover, with Mr. Tao being young and successful, and handsome to boot, he surely wouldnât be interested in an old woman past her prime like herself.
Having mentally put down a huge weight, Cheng Lixue indicated for Tao Yu to sit cross-legged on the mattress, and she then approached and pointed at several key spots on his body,
âBefore I transfer Inner Strength into your body, Iâll point out a few crucial acupoints to you. First, the most important is the Dantian, which is the ocean of Qiâhere is the Danzhong Acupoint, and here is the Huiyin AcupointâŠâ
When her finger pointed to that spot, Cheng Lixueâs pretty face flashed with a trace of embarrassment.
Tao Yu, sensing a slight sweat odor from his nose, understood why itâs typically the master who teaches the discipleâphysical closeness like this could indeed be seen as overly intimate.
However, Tao Yuâs concentration, having been tested by the young rich woman, was extremely strong. Learning was the priority, and everything else could be set aside for later.
âRemember a few key acupoints for now. Iâm going to send some Inner Strength into your body. Since youâve missed the initial period and your meridians might be somewhat blocked, you may feel some soreness or swelling. Iâll be careful with the control of my strengthâŠâ
Cheng Lixue said in all seriousness, and then stretched out her slender hand to press against Tao Yuâs dantian qi sea, slowly infusing a bit of inner strength.
The location where Tao Yuâs Qi and Blood Pill was formed was also here, but the Qi and Blood Pill and inner strength are two different things, so Cheng Lixueâs infusion of inner strength encountered no resistance.
However, as soon as she cautiously attempted to infuse it, Cheng Lixue was greatly shocked.
âHow is this possibleâŠâ
Originally, Cheng Lixue thought that, given Tao Yuâs age, she should be more careful in teaching him, assuming that most of his meridians would already be blocked, and that a slight flow of inner strength would be enough for him to catch the feeling.
But the moment she began to infuse her inner strength into his qi sea, it felt like a drop of water had fallen into a lake.
Tao Yuâs dantian was indeed empty of inner strength, but it was incredibly spacious!
Immediately after, she attempted to control the flow of inner strength and discovered the toughness of his meridians, the breadth of his meridians, were actually far beyond her own, despite her dedicated efforts in daily sitting in meditation and practicing breathing exercises.
It was completely unimaginable that he was not a martial artist and had not cultivated any inner strength!
âSwordswoman Cheng?â
Tao Yu felt Cheng Lixueâs lapse and politely reminded her.
âOh, sorry. The extent of Tao Yuâs talent is unparalleled in my experience. I train rigorously every day to nurture my meridians with inner strength, to expand the breadth of my meridians.
âBut Tao Yu is naturally far superior to me, truly what legends call an Innate Body.â
Cheng Lixue controlled the flow of True Qi along the Zhou Tian cycle, her pretty face showing a hint of emotion.
âOh, I have a very good physical foundation.â
Tao Yu also knew the reason; it should be the benefits brought by the second Deification of the Stance Skill as well as the talent of Fist Intent.
âIn this case, teaching will be much simpler. Moreover, if Tao Yu cultivates internal cultivation methods in the future, you can skip a lot of the grinding work of nurturing the meridians and only need to accumulate inner strength instead. And since Iâve already taught you the locations of several crucial acupoints, now Iâll let you feel the route that inner strength travels, along with the acupoints along the wayâŠâ
Tao Yu listened carefully to the knowledge Cheng Lixue imparted, also deeply perceiving the path of her inner strengthâs circulation.
Although Tao Yu didnât know at what level Cheng Lixueâs strength actually was, even just her strand of inner strength allowed Tao Yu to faintly feel its destructive power.
If she really had malicious intent, suddenly surging inner strength would start to become rampant.
In that case, he would likely be injured immediately, having to rely on his physique to tough it out, consuming physical strength and even Yuan Force for recovery.
âIndeed, a very promising power system. If I can learn Divine Skill and then undergo Deification, who knows what level it could reachâŠâ
Tao Yu found himself somewhat expectant for a moment.
Not until the inner strength reached the Huiyin Acupoint did his body, filled with robust Qi-Blood, exhibit some instinctive reactions. Coupled with the hand that was originally placed on the qi sea area, it led to an awkward moment for both parties.
âThis is a normal phenomenon, donât mind it.â
Although feeling mentally disordered, Cheng Lixue still tried to maintain composure and continued the teaching. Tao Yu didnât bother with other things.
It wasnât as if he was at a loss.
However, this kind of hands-on teaching efficiency was actually low. It would be better if they could understand each otherâs intentionsâŠ
Tao Yuâs mind unconsciously recalled the process of heart-to-heart understanding with the young wealthy lady.
It was double the pleasure.
But then he quickly suppressed the thought and began to focus on learningâŠ
