Chapter 972: Chapter 973: Clapping Has Another Effect

After some arrangements, Song Xiaodong brought Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan to Changbai Mountain.

It was already late March, but the temperature here remained below freezing, blanketed in snow. Unlike their first visit, they arrived without much trouble this time, taking a military helicopter to a nearby cave and then walking the rest of the way into it.

"Whoa! This place is incredible!" Miao Xuanxuan exclaimed in amazement as soon as they entered the cave.

Miao Qingqing’s face also lit up with delight, saying, "This place is wonderful, it has a kind of hidden paradise vibe."

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "Yeah, the most important thing is that the spring water here has special properties. It can help me recover my True Qi."

"If we go in, would we also gain True Qi?" Miao Xuanxuan asked curiously.

Song Xiaodong paused for a moment and said, "That’s not clear, but now that you mention it, it might be worth trying."

After some brief preparations, the three of them arrived at the spring, stripped down, and entered the water together.

"Ah, so comfortable. This feels just like soaking in a hot spring," Miao Xuanxuan said contentedly.

Miao Qingqing laughed, "Yeah, even if it doesn’t do anything for us, spending a few days soaking in the hot spring seems like a very enjoyable experience."

Song Xiaodong closed his eyes, feeling the unique True Qi within the hot spring. The True Qi entered through his pores, directly reaching his meridians. It naturally circulated within his meridians, gradually nourishing them.

As his strength grew, Song Xiaodong became increasingly aware of the spring’s effects. The wonders of nature were truly immense.

After spending two days there, Song Xiaodong’s meridians had healed by roughly a quarter. His True Qi had begun circulating again, and he estimated that within ten days, he would be fully recovered.

"Eh?" On the third day, as the three of them soaked in the spring, Song Xiaodong suddenly heard voices approaching the entrance.

"What’s up?" Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan, who hadn’t heard the sound, asked curiously.

Song Xiaodong remained silent, listening carefully. His face broke into a smile as he said, "Qingyue has come."

Sure enough, Shui Qingyue had arrived, along with Xiao Yingying and Shui Qinghe.

"Why are you all here?" Song Xiaodong asked excitedly as he welcomed them.

Snuggling into Song Xiaodong’s embrace, Xiao Yingying said with a playful smile, "We missed you. Besides, staying at home was getting boring. Since Sister Qingyue knew where you were, we decided to come and see you."

Equally emotional, Song Xiaodong pulled Shui Qingyue into his arms as well, saying, "I missed you all too."

"Ahh! Are you planning to do something unsuitable for minors? I’m backing off!" Shui Qinghe shrieked and ran over to Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan for refuge.

After a bit of tender time, Shui Qingyue brought out a box and said, "I thought you might need this, so I brought it over for you."

Song Xiaodong beamed with delight, saying, "This is perfect! If I had this silver needles sooner, I could have recovered much faster."

From the back, Shui Qinghe snorted, "If it weren’t for bringing you the needles, you’d have forgotten about treating my condition. Hmph, you really take me too lightly."

Turning to look at Shui Qinghe, Song Xiaodong chuckled, "Your condition isn’t too serious anymore. Missing a few treatments won’t matter."

Shui Qinghe glared at him and said, "That won’t do! I want to be cured as soon as possible. Who wants to walk around with a bump on their head? What if it acts up again? What would I do then?"

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily, saying, "Not bad! You’re not as afraid of needles anymore."

"You keep poking me over and over. Even if I was scared, I’d get used to it eventually."

After exchanging a few jokes, Song Xiaodong went straight to the hot spring. With the addition of the silver needles and the spring’s effects, the recovery process became much stronger than before.

By the end of five days, Song Xiaodong’s meridians were fully healed, and his True Qi was fully restored, even slightly enhanced.

However, Song Xiaodong didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he wanted to see if he could help Miao Qingqing and the others generate True Qi, which would make them safer and better equipped for self-defense.

First, Song Xiaodong began with Miao Qingqing. Holding her hand, he attempted to channel his True Qi into her meridians, guiding her to circulate it using the method taught by Lu Yaobing.

But after a long while, Miao Qingqing showed no results. Song Xiaodong called over Miao Xuanxuan and the others to try one by one, but none of them succeeded.

Despite all being intelligent girls, and the spring’s special effects theoretically making things easier, none of them managed to generate True Qi.

"Forget it. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work. What’s important is that we have you by our side. Whether we succeed or not, it’s not a big deal. Husband, it’s been so long since we’ve... you know... Let’s have some fun now," Xiao Yingying said, wrapping her arms around Song Xiaodong’s neck with a seductive look, dismissing any concern over True Qi.

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Right here?"

"Yeah, it’s thrilling here," Xiao Yingying said, twisting her body until the two of them were fully entwined in the most intimate embrace.

Song Xiaodong didn’t hesitate. Right there in the hot spring, he and Xiao Yingying went for it.

"Ah..." Xiao Yingying cried out in excitement. The experience was entirely new, so stimulating that she couldn’t control herself.

Once Xiao Yingying calmed down, Song Xiaodong exclaimed in surprise, "It worked, it worked!"

"What worked?" Xiao Yingying, lying softly on his chest, tilted her head curiously. "Don’t tell me it was a one-shot win and I’m pregnant?"

Song Xiaodong laughed excitedly, "No, no. I mean you’ve now got True Qi."

"True Qi?" Xiao Yingying’s interest was immediately piqued.

Song Xiaodong’s eyes gleamed as he said, "Yes! Try circulating it using the method I taught you."

Giving it a try, Xiao Yingying soon exclaimed, "Wow, I think I feel it! It’s like a little worm crawling around inside, very soothing."

"Exactly! That’s True Qi. I think I’ve figured it out. Qingqing, Xuanxuan, Qingyue, come here quickly."

Song Xiaodong felt he had stumbled upon the method. It seemed to be the legendary Dual Cultivation Method. Using hands wasn’t the true way to transfer energy. It was during intimate moments that the True Qi bridge was truly established, allowing them to cultivate True Qi effectively.
