While I’m going to each person, I’m seeing a pattern with the scan that I should have checked on when I first started on this.
Capability and experience.
With 600 people here and with the mass majority being from an impoverished lifestyle, they simply don’t have practice in moving qi around within their bodies.
Which means they need detailed instructions on what to look for. Even if they have the body to handle this, they still have done nothing like this before.
After realizing this, I immediately start speaking from where they should start.
“For those of you struggling to control your qi, try to first really focus on how the qi is moving into your body. As you are currently using the breathing method, most of it will flow into your nose.”
As an example, I give an audibly loud breath in. And then resume speaking.
“Visualize and search for that qi that travels in and watch where it is flowing. Of course, you are all already aware of this from the previous exercise, but here is what I want you to change.
“I want you to breathe in for four seconds, hold your breath for four seconds, and breathe out for four seconds. Keep your eyes closed while doing this.”
Box breathing. A variation on diaphragmatic breathing.And now for the qi part.
“As you breathe in, hold the breath, and release it, you should be able to feel the qi move all throughout your body. I want you to keep a little of the qi you feel in it, behind in your body. Specifically, try to imagine all the parts that it’s flowing through is absorbing a bit of it. And give it the slight push to go in, if it’s a little resistant.”
I pause, waiting for them to get used to this before continuing.
“Some of you have already noticed, but as you do this, your nose isn’t the only way qi is now entering your body. Your entire body is breathing in and out Qi. Washing your meridians, the pathways that it’s traveling in, with it.
“Let this all of this in and allow the areas it’s flowing into also absorb this qi.”
Automatically, I can sense a change with all of them.
As they don’t have any blockages in them, once they knew what to do and give a bit more instruction, they could feel each of the changes as I was describing them.
Highlighting the beauty of the healing method, increasing their sensitivity to changes in their body.
Making it so that many were able to naturally infuse it into their bodies.
In terms of feeling it, it’s not like blood, which only in serious situations you can feel pulsing through your body.
It’s a strangely present sensation, like a sliver of cloud moving throughout your body. Depending on if the qi is denser or altered in an area, that could change the feeling of it slightly. As an example, cultivating directly near a volcano might have a warmer qi cloud feeling.
And of course, the Qi Condensation realm of cultivation is about accumulating that cloud in your dantians. Body cultivation, as could be assumed, is about accumulating it within the body itself in specific ways.
While traditional cultivation utilizes and strengthens the body, it is fundamentally different from building it into the body itself.
But I’m starting to already see even more issues within the group, having kept my scan up in case something went wrong.
Sweat piles on a number of faces, showing a struggle with their progress. Something that shouldn’t be happening at this stage.
There are two situations where this would occur, with the first being that they are putting their qi into their dantians, while also doing absorbing it into their bodies. This will cause a major imbalance, as the dantian would be for traditional cultivation, with the body being for body cultivation. There can be crossover, but only with a method in place.
The second situation would be that they are infusing too much qi into one area and not balancing it across all of their body. This, too, would cause an imbalance.
While it seems more people are understanding what to do, there are some who are making these serious mistakes that could hurt them in the future.
And there is, as I’m realizing, too many people for me to handle in a short-time frame.
I need help.
I’ll use my scan to identify people who clearly understand the method and will be appropriate to lead others through the process.
People who are suitable to be ‘tutors’, of sorts.
A quick run with my scan shows Shi is definitely one. She’s already noticed my apprehension and the others struggle.
A nod of my head to her silent question has her rushing over to the first person near her experiencing issues.
On the other side, Shi Ji, the blonde-haired, red-eyed noble, wouldn’t be a good tutor at this stage. Perhaps because of her noble upbringing, she might not empathize with others ‘lower’ than her in a situation like this.
But the redheaded woman from her social group who joined before they did, named Min, will be a good choice instead.
Others that would work out would be the secretive noblewoman and her “More Daddy” servant, Lin Qiang and Tao Chenguang; Chen and Ju, the two brunette women who I had promised to help in the alleyways, that seem to be good at leading others through things, likely because of their experiences with each other; Ming, the guy who is basically a giant, seems to fit with this, as well. Though, I think his skill comes from his empathy, rather than anything else.
And finally, Yan, the woman who at first glance appears to be morbidly obese… but is actually just absurdly gifted in certain areas.
Basically… many of these people that my scan had showed had great promise and had joined early on, seem to have good character traits to at least support others.
Of course, several of the yellow sash cultivators are also showing as good choices too. Likely, because they were already used to a team environment and had to go through a form of qi training themselves.
I quickly run to each of them and explain the situation, so they can move to people exhibiting the symptoms my scan had shown.
Out of the 600 people here, over 50-60 needed individual help to stop and recalibrate their actions in the method.
With the information they need, they run out and stop anyone who is sweating. From there, they teach them one by one on what to do and look out for. Another glance at the situation is showing that things are going well and should progress nicely.
Leading me to the third thing that has come up.
The people who excel.
I can see that many of the people are going through the normal time to practice and learn this.
But there are some who practically instantly reached the end of this stage. Waiting for the next step.
With the others, still learning how to progress through this stage.
Should I focus on the geniuses? And let the others raise the others up at the normal pace?
