Inside the Avenue Bookstore.

Zhang Youwei sat on the floor with a strange expression on his face. His hands were raised in front of him.

In front of him was a wooden chair with a small box placed on it. He had been maintaining this position for two whole hours and had not moved at all.

Just as he felt that his hands were a little sore and wanted to put them down to rest for a while, Luo Xiu forcefully raised his hands back up and said, “You can’t put your hands down.”

His tone was filled with unquestionable authority.

Zhang Youwei was upset. As an outstanding entrepreneur with a net worth of billions, he was now working here as an employee.

Moreover, he did not receive a single cent of his salary, and he even had to pay 30 million to his “boss.” What kind of logic is this?

Although Zhang Youwei had just stepped onto the path of immortal cultivation and wasn’t proficient in it yet, he could somewhat understand what he was doing now.

It was nothing more than using the basic method of spiritual energy circulation to continuously deliver spiritual energy into the box in front of him!

It had already been two hours, and he did not even know what was in the box.

Thinking of this, Zhang Youwei put on a bitter face and negotiated with an aggrieved expression, “Sir, why don’t you let me rest for a while? I really can’t lift my hands anymore.”

Indeed, ever since Zhang Youwei had earned money, he had enjoyed every single day of his life.

Beauties, fine wine, delicacies, luxurious cars, villas… He did not miss out on any enjoyment. Meanwhile, he had nothing to do with any of the healthy activities.

For him, even if he was not lifting any weight, merely lifting his hands for two hours was already extremely tiring.

It was precisely because of this unhealthy life that he had his current illness.

Looking at Zhang Youwei’s trembling arms, Luo Xiu knew that he was extremely tired. He immediately sighed and said, “Forget it. I’ll let you rest for a while.”

Hearing this, Zhang Youwei immediately stood up as if he had been pardoned. He was ready to sit on the chair and rest.

However, Luo Xiu grabbed the chair and dragged it to the side, causing Zhang Youwei to fall heavily.

This fall was extremely sudden. Zhang Youwei rubbed his butt and looked at Luo Xiu with a puzzled expression.

Didn’t he say that he was going to rest? Why did Luo Xiu take the chair away?

Luo Xiu coldly and calmly said, “Stand and rest.”

This time, Zhang Youwei’s expression became even more bitter. He wanted to say something, but he had nothing to say.

After all, he was the one who had begged Luo Xiu to help him cultivate. Of course, he had to obey Luo Xiu’s orders.

However, he did not understand how whatever he had done in these two hours would benefit his illness. No matter how he looked at it, he was just doing hard labor!

Luo Xiu naturally saw Zhang Youwei’s dissatisfaction and shook his head, “Zhang Youwei, how do you feel now?”

Zhang Youwei heard it and pursed his lips. With a bitter expression, he said, “I feel that my arms are sore, and I can’t lift them up.”

“Apart from this?” Luo Xiu smiled slightly and continued to ask.

When Zhang Youwei heard it, he still had an aggrieved look on his face at first, but he quickly realized, “Eh… my liver doesn’t seem to hurt at all!”

That’s right, after two hours of “working,” Zhang Youwei’s illness had further improved.

After practicing “The Basics of Spiritual Energy Circulation” last night, Zhang Youwei only felt that his body had become much more relaxed. But now, after two hours of practice, Zhang Youwei found that his illness had greatly improved.

He even suspected that his cancer had been completely cured!

Seeing that Zhang Youwei had discovered the condition of his body, Luo Xiu said, “Do you know why the spiritual energy circulation can save your life?”

Zhang Youwei was slightly stunned, shook his head, and answered honestly, “I don’t know.”

“Because the cultivation principle of spiritual energy circulation is to let your body produce spiritual energy, and the production of spiritual energy doesn’t appear out of thin air. It will travel along your meridians, through every corner of your body, and finally, move to your dantian. The circulation of spiritual energy is the key to treating your illness.”

Hearing this, Zhang Youwei finally understood a little.

“Does it mean that as long as I cultivate according to the basics of spiritual energy circulation, the spiritual energy will travel along my meridians and heal my body parts along the way?”

“That’s more or less what it means.”Luo Xiu nodded and looked at Zhang Youwei with appreciation.

Although Zhang Youwei was a person with poor aptitude and physicality, his comprehension was quite good.

He understood these words so quickly and even used words that he could understand to translate them. It was indeed worthy of praise.

Zhang Youwei noticed Luo Xiu’s appreciative gaze and also chuckled, somewhat proud.

Soon, he asked another question, “Is there any difference between this and what I practiced at home?”

Indeed.

To Zhang Youwei, what he had done in the past two hours was almost the same as what he practiced at home, except that he had to raise his hands all the time. He suddenly felt that his 30 million yuan had been wasted.

However, Luo Xiu asked with a smile, “Let me ask you, what did I say will happen after the spiritual energy is produced?”

Zhang Youwei scratched his head and answered, “After the spiritual energy is born, it will travel through my meridians and eventually gather at my dantian. Is there a problem?”

“Of course there is.” Luo Xiu nodded with a smile, pointed at Zhang Youwei’s abdomen, and asked, “Guess what will happen if the spiritual energy in your dantian is full?”

Zhang Youwei was stunned for a moment. He looked at his lower abdomen, which was the so-called dantian position, and muttered, “If the spiritual energy in the dantian is full, it will…”

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up, and he said, “If that happens, I won’t be able to produce new spiritual energy, and I won’t be able to let the spiritual energy flow along my meridians.”

Upon hearing Zhang Youwei’s answer, Luo Xiu smiled and nodded again, “Yes.”

Then, he pointed at the box and explained, “The reason why I keep you raising your hands is so that the spiritual energy in your dantian can be transferred into this small box. As long as the spiritual energy in your dantian is not fully stored, you can always use the basic method of spiritual energy circulation to generate spiritual energy and heal your body. Do you understand?”

Zhang Youwei finally came to a realization when he heard this. No wonder he felt that the effect had diminished after practicing for some time last night. It turned out that the spiritual energy in his dantian had already been fully stored!

When the spiritual energy was full, no new spiritual energy could be generated. Without the spiritual energy to heal the body through the meridians, wouldn’t the effect diminish?

In the past two hours, all the spiritual energy produced by Zhang Youwei had been transferred into this small box after it had completely circulated through his body.

In this way, Zhang Youwei could continuously produce spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy would also continue to flow through the meridians to heal his body. The effect would naturally be much better!

Zhang Youwei understood this principle, and the huge burden in his heart was finally relieved. He looked at Luo Xiu with a lot of gratitude. He had suspected that the shop owner was merely exploiting him, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding!

Thanks to Luo Xiu, he was able to heal himself continuously.

Looking at Zhang Youwei’s grateful eyes, Luo Xiu smiled slightly and pointed outside the door, “Alright, it’s getting late. I should rest. You should go back and rest early too.”

Hearing this, Zhang Youwei was shocked and quickly said, “No, no, no, I still want to practice for a little longer. I feel much better after practicing spiritual energy circulation. Moreover, I only have one month left. I have to hurry up and practice. Otherwise, what if I die?”

Hearing this, Luo Xiu smiled helplessly and said, “Don’t worry. Your illness has been greatly alleviated. Moving on, you only need to come here for two hours every day. After a week, your illness will basically be completely stabilized, and then you can practice in your own home.”

Zhang Youwei could only nod when he heard this. He was already full of admiration for Luo Xiu. It could be said that he would do whatever Luo Xiu asked him to do without hesitation.

This shop owner was his savior!

After Zhang Youwei left with a thousand thanks, the expression on Luo Xiu’s face turned solemn again. He could feel that the demonic energy on Qi Mountain seemed to have become even denser. He had to hurry up and deal with it!

However, only a little bit of the spiritual energy in the Five Thunder Fiend Suppression Talisman had been stored, and it was almost negligible!

If he were to deal with it now, he would still use up a large amount of spiritual energy in this world. Now was definitely not the time to be rash!

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu sighed helplessly. Just like Zhang Youwei before, he sat down in front of the small box and began to transfer spiritual energy to the box.

The box contained the Five Thunder Fiend Suppression Talisman, the reward that the system had obtained previously!

As soon as Luo Xiu began to circulate his energy, a large amount of spiritual energy poured into the Five Thunder Fiend Suppression Talisman.

In just a few minutes, he had caught up with Zhang You’s spiritual energy that had been transferred for an hour.

However, even with Luo Xiu’s speed, if he wanted to completely fill up the five Thunder Fiend Suppression Talisman’s spiritual energy to the extent that he would not need the spiritual energy of this world at all, it definitely would not be completed in a short amount of time.

Luo Xiu helplessly closed his eyes.

What would happen to Qi Mountain was no longer something he could control now.

If the demon beasts were to awaken ahead of time, the villagers in that village could only count on their own good fortune.
