Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 56: Tai Chi Advancement and the Secrets of Qi Sensitivity

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Tai Chi Advancement and the Secrets of Qi Sensitivity

Then, Wang Ye opened his Douyin account homepage.

So far, his Douyin account name was still "Wangquan Baye," the same as his WeChat nickname.

This name really wasn’t distinctive and was hardly memorable.

It also didn’t have any connection with the content he was filming.

Wang Ye frowned, thought for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and immediately changed his Douyin account name to—

"Qi Refining Stage Cultivator"

"Not bad, it’s unique and fits the persona."

After changing the name, Wang Ye contentedly put down his phone and took out the three doses of Internal Replenishing Medicine he bought in the evening from a plastic bag.

These three doses of medicine were all related to Tai Chi.

It is said to enhance the efficiency of Qi Collection and Nourishing the Yuan.

Although traditional Daoist Schools do not encourage using medicine for cultivation. Most Daoist Sects advocate using oneself as the furnace to collect Qi and refine medicine, which is known as the Alchemy Dao.

But Wang Ye didn’t care whether it was internal medicine or external medicine, as long as it could increase Skill Level, it was good medicine.

He tore open the three doses and tossed them into different boilers, starting to cook them.

Before long, a faint medicinal fragrance gradually filled the air.

According to the prescription found online, these doses need to be simmered for at least half an hour until the decoction is completely dried out and turns thick and black before it can be taken. This is one of the drawbacks of Chinese medicine, it takes too much time.

While simmering, Wang Ye stood at the kitchen door and started practicing Tai Chi.

The reason for practicing Tai Chi at the kitchen door was because he had to keep an eye on the boilers and control the heat appropriately. To prevent overcooking and wasting these three pots of herbs worth nearly three hundred bucks.

Wang Ye inhaled the refreshing aroma of the medicine while carefully sensing the Qi within him.

For a long time.

One of the boilers started making a gurgling sound.

Wang Ye quickly withdrew from his Tai Chi state, opened the lid, and as soon as he heard a "hiss," an intensely rich medicinal fragrance rose into the sky.

He used a stainless steel ladle to scoop out a bowl of thick medicinal liquid.

Holding the bowl, he blew on the hot steam, and once the decoction wasn’t too hot, he tilted his head back and drank it all.

A sour and bitter taste immediately erupted from the base of his tongue.

Wang Ye quickly drank a glass of water to dilute the lingering bitterness in his mouth.

He glanced at the panel.

There was still no change in the Tai Chi Skill Level.

"It seems this isn’t the right medicine." Wang Ye shook his head in disappointment.

In the spirit of not wasting, he pinched his nose, endured the bitterness, and quickly drank all the decoction in this pot.

Then he waited for the next pot of medicine to finish brewing.

Wang Ye continued practicing Tai Chi. The system also began slowly refreshing the Tai Chi Skill Level.

Through the training over these days, his Tai Chi Skill Level had already reached about 89%.

It was expected to break through again in the next couple of days.

Reaching lv4—equivalent to a High-tier Professional’s level.

If he could luckily brew up an effective decoction, his Skill Level progress could speed up significantly.

Soon.

The second and third doses of medicine also began gurgling.

Wang Ye stepped forward and opened the lids of the two boilers.

Using a stainless steel ladle, he scooped out two bowls of medicine.

He first tasted the first bowl,

drinking the bitter decoction in one gulp.

As soon as the decoction passed down his throat, it suddenly digested in his stomach. Instantly, he felt a scorching sensation appear in his lower abdomen, as if a fiery blaze was roasting his Lower Dantian.

He suddenly became much more aware of the Qi throughout his body.

The next moment, a line of text appeared before Wang Ye’s eyes.

"You’ve consumed Qi Nourishing Medicine, greatly benefiting your body, Tai Chi Skill Level increased by 0.5%."

"It actually worked!" Wang Ye couldn’t hide his joy and immediately drank all the remaining decoction in the pot.

In the end, the total Skill Level improvement was 2%, almost equivalent to half an hour of intense practice.

Wang Ye gradually calmed his excitement, then practiced several sets of Tai Chi, depleting the medicinal power within him. Then he lifted the second bowl of medicine resting on the stove and drank it in one gulp.

The bitter medicine went down his throat, and a more vigorous rush of Qi surged to his brain, making Wang Ye shiver involuntarily.

Once again, text appeared before his eyes.

"You’ve consumed Qi Nourishing Medicine, greatly benefiting your body, Tai Chi Skill Level increased by 1.5%."

"So much?!" Wang Ye’s pupils contracted, his heart filled with ecstatic joy.

He didn’t hesitate, immediately drinking all the decoction in this pot.

Ultimately, the Skill Level improved by 6%.

With the boost of these two doses of medicine, his Tai Chi Skill Level approached 97%, while a strange and immense Qi sensation arose within him once more.

Wang Ye knew this was the system creating a breakthrough opportunity for him!

Seizing the opportunity, he quickly practiced Tai Chi movements.

The system’s Skill Level then rapidly surged upward.

About ten minutes passed.

The Skill Level finally reached 100%.

Just as Wang Ye was about to break through, he suddenly felt the immense medicinal power contained within him being instantly absorbed by a whirlpool-like substance at his Lower Dantian.

"Hiss!!!"

An astounding Qi sensation gradually coalesced within his limbs, accumulating in his meridians, growing ever larger, causing immense pain.

Wang Ye’s face changed, immediately tilting his body in a releasing motion and throwing a punch. The accumulated Qi sensation in his entire body then shot out as if finding an outlet, creating a loud explosion in the air.

"Bang!!!"

With that punch, all his meridians suddenly opened up completely, becoming as unimpeded as a torrential river after a heavy rain.

At the same time, his body felt much lighter, as if his feet were stepping on a swallow.

"Hehe, comfortable!"

Wang Ye jumped a few times in succession, feeling that his running speed must be faster than before.

He marveled at how this Qi sensation could magically tap into his muscles’ hidden strength.

Typically, the brain, to protect itself and conserve energy, limits the body’s performance level.

Most of the time, humans can only utilize 30%~50% of their muscles’ strength level.

Only in emergencies might they unleash 80% or even 100% of their strength level.

But unleashing such strength recklessly could definitely cause severe bodily damage, even fractures.

However, well-trained Martial Artists, lightweight boxers, lightweight weightlifters, and others can easily utilize over 70% of their strength level during regular training. That’s why some people, despite being lean, can lift over 150 kilograms.

This ability to harness more muscle potential is scientifically termed "Neural Recruitment Ability"—the ability to recruit more muscle fibers for work.

The Qi sensation Wang Ye cultivated seemed extraordinary and mysterious,

but, in essence, it was just a special technique for enhancing "Neural Recruitment Ability."

This is also why Wang Ye’s "Body" attribute didn’t increase at all, yet his strength performance slowly grew alongside the improvement in Tai Chi.

While Wang Ye was contemplating, he suddenly felt immensely hungry.

His whole body fell into weakness, unable to muster enough strength to even clench his fists.

It was evident that the earlier breakthrough had drained too much of his energy.
