The Qi Refining method!

It isn't some high-end internal cultivation technique or immortal cultivation method.

The Qi Refining method is actually a set of movements, a set of fist techniques, a set of exercises.

Similar to the Eighth Set of Radio Calisthenics, Eighteen Lohan Hands, Tai Chi, or square dancing.

By performing this set of movements, every muscle, every bone, every meridian, and every organ in the body is fully exercised…

Thereby allowing the body to fully absorb Congenital One Qi, to achieve the purpose of refining it!

This is… Qi Refining!

To put it bluntly.

The so-called Qi Refining method is essentially about accelerating the body's metabolism and increasing energy consumption, thereby promoting the body's absorption of Congenital One Qi!

From this, it can be seen that a Titan Warrior's Qi Refining is very simple:

Food Qi through the mouth and nose.

Qi Refining through exercise.

It's that simple!

"You know Zhu Yan Subduing Demon Fist?"

Jiang Shengnan was silenced again.

She really wanted to ask, if you know everything, why do you need me as a teacher?

"Show me!"

Jiang Shengnan sighed.

"Okay, teacher!"

Zhang Fan flipped up, took a stance, and skillfully began to perform the Zhu Yan Subduing Demon Fist.

First Form: Double Hands Thrusting Skyward.

Second Form: Picking Stars and Changing Dipper.

Third Form: Zhu Yan Holding Up Heaven.

Fourth Form: Pulling Nine Oxen Backward.

Fifth Form: Phoenix Spreading Wings.

Sixth Form: Azure Dragon Probing Claw.

Seventh Form: Crouching Tiger Pouncing on Prey.

Zhang Fan's movements were very standard, each move and form seemed naturally perfected, fluid and natural.

Jiang Shengnan could tell at a glance that Zhang Fan's Zhu Yan Subduing Demon Fist was extremely proficient, with at least ten years of cultivation.

This was more than just having learned it?

This was years of immersion!

Jiang Shengnan felt quite helpless.

When Zhang Hongcheng first invited her to be a tutor, Jiang Shengnan was somewhat resistant.

She thought that the Zhang's Group was a huge enterprise, and the Zhang family's children were likely arrogant second-generation heirs who were not only haughty but also difficult to get along with.

So she was very resistant, but out of respect for Zhang Hongcheng, she still came.

However, Jiang Shengnan had made up her mind that if Zhang Fan was disobedient, she would leave.

Jiang Shengnan had thought of many scenarios, but she never expected this one.

Static Meditation's third layer.

Food Qi was very smooth.

Now even the Qi Refining method, Zhu Yan Subduing Demon Fist, was performed so well.

The foundation was too solid!

This made Jiang Shengnan feel, was she, this tutor, redundant?

Zhang Fan didn't know Jiang Shengnan's thoughts, nor did he care; he was completely immersed!

Zhang Fan had practiced Zhu Yan Subduing Demon Fist for over ten years, but never before had it felt this… special!

With each movement, his tendons and bones were stretched, and his internal organs were exercised…

Zhang Fan felt his entire body tremble again; the cells that had just been full seemed hungry once more, eagerly devouring the Congenital One Qi within him.

"It's working!"

Zhang Fan was very excited; he had practiced Zhu Yan Subduing Demon Fist since he was young, at least ten times a day.

Over the years, if not a hundred thousand times, it was at least thirty thousand times.

Yet, it had little effect, at most making his body a bit stronger than his peers.

But this time, the reaction was extremely strong!

Every bone, every muscle, every inch of skin throughout his body…

All were trembling, at a very slow, strange frequency!

Zhang Fan understood that this was precisely due to the transformation occurring after the cells absorbed the Congenital One Qi!

The Qi Refining method!

It was originally meant to promote the body's absorption of Congenital One Qi and accelerate its consumption.

How is Congenital One Qi consumed?

Naturally, by the cells absorbing it!

And after cells absorb Congenital One Qi, they will strengthen, divide, and transform!

Trembling… is a normal phenomenon!

"Indeed! Only after awakening does Zhu Yan Subduing Demon Fist truly become effective!"

Zhang Fan could not hide his joy.

Congenital One Qi is the fundamental source for a Titan Warrior to increase strength and constantly become stronger!

Only by continuously absorbing Congenital One Qi can a Titan Warrior constantly grow stronger!

Before awakening, Zhang Fan trained desperately, performing Zhu Yan Subduing Demon Fist over ten times a day…

Yet, the effect was minimal!

Today was completely different!

This stark contrast, with such a clear before-and-after comparison, made Zhang Fan incredibly happy.

What was the point of transmigrating for 18 years?

Wasn't it to become a Titan Warrior and cultivate like one?

Today, he finally got his wish!

Zhang Fan swore he would go all out!

Zhang Fan performed the Zhu Yan Subduing Demon Fist repeatedly, refining the Congenital One Qi within his body.

After 9 repetitions, the previously saturated Congenital One Qi was finally completely refined and absorbed.

Without Jiang Shengnan's instruction, Zhang Fan voluntarily entered meditation and began his second Food Qi session.

Two hours later, his body was saturated again, and Zhang Fan began his second round of Qi Refining.

Food Qi!

Qi Refining!

This cycle repeated tirelessly; at the end of the day's cultivation, Jiang Shengnan bid farewell and departed.

...

Tonight's dinner was very lavish, with a total of eight dishes, six of which were meat dishes.

Crucially, these six meat dishes were all cooked from high-grade Titan Beast meat.

Different monster meats have different prices; the higher the grade, the more expensive they usually are!

Low-grade monster meat, for instance, generally ranges from a few yuan to dozens of yuan.

Mid-grade monster meat is much more expensive; the cheapest costs dozens of yuan per jin.

Expensive ones cost several hundred!

High-grade monsters are Core Formation Realm Titan Beasts, with vigorous vitality and abundant energy, making them absolute tonics for Titan Warriors!

The key is.

High-grade Titan Beasts are terrifyingly strong, and ordinary Titan Warriors find them very difficult to kill.

Consequently, high-grade monster meat is generally very scarce in the market.

This leads to high-grade monster meat being extremely expensive, tens of thousands per jin, and still in short supply.

Scarcity makes things valuable, after all!

"Mom, tonight's dinner is so lavish!"

Zhang Fan was a bit surprised.

This meal alone, just these high-grade monster meats, must cost tens of thousands, right?

Yang Ling, wearing an apron, brought two bowls of rice to the table and smiled upon hearing him:

"You're officially starting your cultivation today, so our family's meals naturally need to be upgraded to help you quickly improve your strength!"

"Thank you, Mom!"

Zhang Fan was a little touched; tens of thousands for one meal, his mom was too generous!

"You're welcome!"

Yang Ling smiled at her son: "The wool comes from the sheep; Mom gets to benefit too!"

"Uh…"

Zhang Fan was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Hongcheng cleared his throat and said lightly: "Your mom went to the company today and collected your cultivation subsidy, totaling 16 million!"

"That much???"

Zhang Fan was startled.

He knew that the Zhang family's descendants could receive dividends from the family group every month.

For example, he himself had been receiving it since birth, but it was only about ten thousand yuan a month!

Now that he had awakened, he would receive a cultivation subsidy, and the amount would certainly increase.

But Zhang Fan hadn't expected that the first month's subsidy would be as high as 16 million!

That was too much!

He couldn't spend it all!

He absolutely couldn't spend it all!

"It's not much!"

Zhang Hongcheng shook his head: "You still don't understand the significance of Golden Zhu Yan Transformation to the family!"

"Let me put it this way!"

"Your grandfather established Zhang's Group precisely to accumulate wealth and nurture future generations!"

"To achieve this goal, your grandfather even formulated a series of cultivation regulations!"

"For example, strictly prohibiting our Zhang family members from entering company management and interfering with the company's operations!"

"And also, our Zhang family's Titan Warriors can receive very generous cultivation subsidies!"

"Among Titan Warriors, those who have awakened the Golden Zhu Yan Transformation receive the greatest cultivation support!"

"From large-scale cultivation resource subsidies to small meal allowances, housing subsidies, holiday benefits…"

"All added up, it's an astronomical figure every month!"

"This is actually normal!"

Yang Ling pursed her lips and smiled: "After all, the entire Zhang family currently only has 9 people who have awakened the Golden Zhu Yan Transformation; if we don't cultivate them, who else can we cultivate?"

Zhang Fan nodded repeatedly, then looked at his mom and chuckled: "Mom, where's that 16 million?"

"What do you want to do?"

Yang Ling glared at her son, a wary look on her face: "You're just a child, what do you need so much money for? Mom will keep it for you first!"

Zhang Fan's mouth twitched: "Mom, that's 16 million! 16 million!"

"What about 16 million?"

Yang Ling, with an expression like 'you're still young, Mom will keep your New Year's money for you,' coldly snorted:

"You eat three meals a day, each meal tens of thousands; just your food alone costs two to three hundred thousand a day!"

"Add in high-energy drinks, and in a month, just food and drink will exceed ten million. How much of your 16 million will be left?"

Zhang Fan rolled his eyes, thinking, 'Even if I ate gold every day, I couldn't eat that much in a month. Mom, you're too ruthless!'

"Mom, that's 16 million! You have to give me some pocket money, right?"

Zhang Fan said exasperatedly.

"You'll get pocket money!"

Yang Ling patted the back of Zhang Fan's head, dotingly saying: "20,000 a month, is that enough?"

"20,000…"

Zhang Fan was somewhat exasperated: "Mom, I get a 16 million subsidy a month, and you only give me 20,000. You really are my biological mother!"

"Too little? Then add 10,000, 30,000 is enough, right? No more! You're just a child, I'm afraid you'll go astray if you have too much money!"

"…"
