Chapter 26: Breathing Method (2)
rombWith the help of HeavenlyDemon and SwordTasteMaster, I somehow managed to feel mana.pKDlo
1vnXI simply tried to repeat the sensation I had experienced the first time, and it worked quite well.O534sS
XRf1DdBut the problem appeared afterward.vjAew
iI5gsXEvery time the mana that started from the lower abdomen completed one full cycle, my stomach hurt.X82ynqa
MuyWIf it had happened once or twice I would understand it, but exactly at the moment when the mana completed a cycle, the stomach pain was so strong that I could not endure it.FUru4
8b0To the point of thinking whether I should build a separate bathroom.3ruXr1u
QUKLnXI cannot even go very far.E9SVb9
vihGx‘And why am I sweating so much?’2iTS34e
a18YP9I did not feel like I was making a big effort, but sweat was running all over my body.DH0VeB
VHeAnd it was not normal sweat.wpc
bjHIt was completely black sweat.C11
X6s7zX0It literally looked like the filth of the body coming out.nX7
Oqjy0xJust seeing it was disgusting.8G0Da
VL48n2W“Ugh!”59wM
XMMvYKAThe smell was also horrible.5pnTldB
afFh6I almost vomited.zgQLP
ckG46LIt seemed like all the waste in my body had gathered there.vE0wiS
hpd41“Kyueeek! Kyueeek!”4Cs
F2oX7OWonmo, whose sense of smell is much better than mine, was having an attack.qBpn
XCozAs soon as he smelled the odor, he moved away from me.unUH9M
tvOidHe went into a corner of the cave growling, so it must be truly unbearable.aSkq
mzZIt seems I will have to bathe again.ZZJ
b5GOtherwise Wonmo might kick me out of the cave.ZCi2Yj7
Z0b7QEven though it was already getting dark, if I slept like this I might get sick.5OGdZ1
i6uBq5‘What the hell is happening?’aUSzH9
cviWI filled the container with water and lit a fire underneath.6p7
2vHQVWaiting for it to boil completely would be too slow, so I put my body directly into it.kd1yd7Y
kcRGfhFAs soon as my body touched the water, the characteristic freshness of the stream water spread throughout my body.cuoaF8i
9vZ1I let out a sigh of relief and decided to ask for help in the gallery.Yoj
fyTTitle) Is mana circulation normally like this?KoWrNt
lelAJWildGrillsmmDP0dD
iaOtLFollowing your advice I am circulating mana, but every time it makes a cycle I feel like taking a shit. Is this normal?cQlQ8r
esg8WㄴHeavenlyDemon) It is the first time I have heard of someone wanting to defecate every time they do energy circulation.QmTzI
qSFSFOㄴSwordTasteMaster) Me too. Could it be that you have some intestinal problem?BbppHnZ
xudQMㄴWildGrills) I have not eaten anything;; it is not even diarrhea.2iQhsb
n8uㄴUgh. That is disgusting.bd7J
fk3ZㄴDamn it, I am eating curry and you are talking about shit.kcu
zGjlXㄴActually you are eating shit flavored curry.zyqCm
DNOeL8cㄴSeriously…2F8dpl
lACEven though the topic was quite unpleasant, I was speaking seriously.UUXOgV
ztvIf it had been diarrhea, I would have understood it to some extent.taFVDt
OW7tiIt would mean I am sick.rQn
y6oNjBut it is not even that, so I cannot help but be suspicious.M6d7RV
ZjZrgUntil now the only thing I have eaten are the fasting pills.VQF
3BK1J9ㄴHeavenlyDemon) The only thing I can think of is that your body is expelling impurities do you have any physical problem?fJkbw
JK2JㄴWildGrills) At least I am not a pig.nF7
rzcQ5My body, to be honest, is close to overweight.0E4Y
LYBnMI am not thin, but I am not noticeably fat either.hOpvXgS
Hda5QJbBut since I used to eat only ramen to save money, I probably have visceral fat accumulated.rEJ7P
vVYㄴHeavenlyDemon) After consuming the fasting pills, that is the only thing I can think of.fp4sPj
niniQㄴSwordTasteMaster) It could also simply be your constitution.6bsakdz
3pJㄴWildGrills) Do fat people experience the same thing when learning a breathing method?2zJv
5CB1eㄴIf that were true I would have learned it already hahaha77z4n5M
71K6iㄴBecoming healthy just by breathing? I would do it right now hahahaj9K
gWfLearning a breathing method does not change the body.b8DjWw
mqUzChanging the body belongs to external training, while the breathing method belongs to internal cultivation.sE1K
E6FYOILAlthough both complement each other, so it is recommended to take care of the body.PwpLRZ
tMy5YㄴHeavenlyDemon) Do you have any other symptoms?mhWrFg
zYfㄴWildGrills) I am sweating black sweat and the smell is horrible.VAIk
4Bkt9TJㄴHeavenlyDemon) Then it seems that impurities are coming out of your body.pyVzC9u
nRBBiㄴWildGrills) Is that good?onl3
znxryxㄴHeavenlyDemon) More than good, it is an abnormal level. Normally that only happens when reaching an extremely high level.OUtlMEx
GG7GhVㄴWildGrills) Then it is not bad?H0VPpaG
k7L8ㄴHeavenlyDemon) It is not bad, but just in case it would be better if for now you focus only on energy circulation.0NX
u8krIn the end the breathing method stopped at the energy circulation part.7aMO
rMAThey said they would teach me the verses of the method later.jAFziSh
BcFtinI had no intention of refusing either, so I accepted without any problem.oEfRNn
IjCEvery time the mana makes a cycle my stomach hurts, so there is not much I can do.OxX40Z
xWoTqgk‘Are you sure what is coming out are impurities and not nutrients?’QzR
YxQWtOut of worry I feel like eating more fasting pills.1HWH
9rd0uBut if I do that my Johnson might explode, so it is better to hold back.rokn
hMMTakc“Ugh.”pWqr0
EpKbDPGWhy does nothing turn out the way I planned?oxJ3sKP
3bROyAlthough from the beginning falling into this damned forest was already a problem.JBR
PekYUfWhile complaining about my luck, I lifted my head and looked at the sky.ramb
zKIThe night sky was full of stars and it was truly beautiful.V5dfD
vD73nX‘…Yes. There is no need to rush.’AkmX
VtYThe water was already heating up.iLbcy
ec2LmfI washed my entire body with soap until it was completely clean.qbfV3Rv
e1Z8rThe water left in the container I will throw away the next day.ZsBj
C9CimCIt is too dark to do it now.Tf1TkT
fUoIngAfter drying myself with a towel, I checked the gallery while my hair dried.d0Nj
jgvTEven though it was late at night, the gallery was still very active.j2Fj
ktRMost of the posts were completely useless.YU989Us
1ZQCB[A gallery user is screwed right now]H4yrDA
njF20[I want to quit my job]cVK9c
Miut[Is this what they call a blue ocean?]v9vK4
42p[Lately the river water is warm]2EM
hFjyf[Damn elves planting trees again]xVV
s17WUUy[Emergencyyyyy]WWR
bTKTmPCThings like that.W4MSK
mePt8I had already become so used to it that it even felt familiar.i4deeUW
S6irjAfter checking the gallery for a while, I posted a short message.0tt12Qc
VlsNLtAs always, a post to mark the end of the day.vn8
HWaOOMany comments appeared, but I only skimmed them and closed the page.Js6op
I8rSMaybe because today I learned the breathing method, I was getting sleepy.HDxo
mbFv‘Where will I go tomorrow? Repairs? Breathing? Exploring?’f7wQemi
LdUIfL7Whatever it is, it will surely be hard.q2SvUsu
gNDBefore closing my eyes, I checked on Wonmo.kjeGae
GuDHe was lying beside me trying to sleep.RgPMDAI
TGHAt least thanks to him I do not feel so alone.Yyzvfv4
8l5‘I will have to cut many trees to earn money.’6nSo1
anwLI slowly closed my eyes.VkTIeO5
R8HYUSleep was overcoming me and I could no longer think clearly.FGp
xbMuTxI worked hard today, so tomorrow I will rest well and continue forward.HCC
w4TgK1‘Will I be able to… get out?’kV3
aKzJUI kept that small hope while falling asleep.8vSs
DzyA12***1PEg0
vYjf4nSleep is very important for any animal.b9aBl
PDWDWOAnd humans are no exception.t2dz
VvCGfHuIn fact, the desire to sleep far surpasses appetite and sexual desire.KpOq
DcB2If you do not sleep well, you can consider that day already ruined.s8v
nMDqgOn the contrary, if you rest deeply, you can greet the morning with incomparable freshness.f4ckZp
98lPQTitle) Another morning full of energy and determination!ODA4
Z4cCWildGrillsv91V
nSCJTIf someone asks who I am, I am WildGrills!9c45
gvcㄴHeavenlyDemon) You are already awake. Do you feel any discomfort in your body?0oQZ
N7GDNㄴWildGrills) Not at all. In fact I feel much fresher than other days.INUd
yOnZtㄴSwordTasteMaster) It must be because of the breathing. If you do it right after waking up it will be even more effective.OOV
gUsㄴHeavenlyDemon) It is probably because of the breathing. It would be good to do it once before sleeping and once after waking up.4NQ
RR5vfUGㄴHeavenlyDemon) How insolent. I was going to say that first.aUo0N0
tqIㄴSwordTasteMaster) You are quite slow.LkBM
x8e0ㄴHeavenlyDemon) Not everything fast is good. Precision is what matters.GWn9S9
KSAGkㄴSwordTasteMaster) I agree with that, but speed is more important.mZUY7
vtYI4O7ㄴHeavenlyDemon) If you pursue only speed you will end up falling into demonic deviation.hXt
0QjSQㄴStarlightLady) You are already awake. Do you not have any pain?LwS
VAovXiㄴWildGrills) No, nothing. Are you really completely well now?HTQW3h
VLHrㄴStarlightLady) Yes. As soon as I woke up I went running outside the mansion.5L6LMg
FBJue8uㄴWildGrills) You really are much healthier.gMzS
KvFWuTyㄴSo now only Grills is left, right?wvR6rvJ
F8EfㄴWill Grills not feel lonely? hahahaNkuXF8d
ozBㄴWill he beat the lady’s record?6ydk
p16hCVㄴStarlightLady) You all are very cruel. I will make sure not to beat that record, so do not worry too much.l4h0
oGRHeavenlyDemon and SwordTasteMaster started arguing since the morning.Oy9
S94The comment from StarlightLady also appeared, now completely recovered.tnMoQ
3fvqJmKI tried to remember how many posts I had published wishing for her to recover.ju3kAU
j4VAs far as I remember, it had been around 110 days.h7V9n4c
226SApproximately between three and four months.GHIVG4
J8dWill I be able to get out of here by then?z73l
0SW‘By that point it would not be adaptation anymore, it would literally be living here.’fkbSM
vvqgAfter checking the gallery for a while, I first looked at Wonmo.UMgp5S
2qlSince he is still a cub, he was still sleeping deeply even though I was already awake.eS9
UaiVbmNIf I moved too much I might wake him up, so I first checked the auction house.ouzv
jjg‘Let’s see… what I uploaded yesterday…’JYsEjw
h3HRTThe items I uploaded yesterday were the owlbear corpse and wood.k6jz3u
Lrh3lUBoth were placed in auction.5Vn
Q2xNldBecause of the brutal commissions, the auction system actually harms the person who registers the item.PRs2Me
TxqBut for me the important thing was selling them, so I was curious.RIflzX6
j4yvEi[Owlbear corpse: 200 liang of silver]eRt
tRKE9ir[Wood from the Forest of the Four Seasons: 10 gold]nwo68vM
u1Zwvk“Oh?”jz9VJ
NppiLi3The prices were quite high.EODM2Q
gyoFThe wood was already valuable, but the owlbear had a really high price.HKOOa
rFlRSilver is the currency of Zhongyuan, and I heard that 1 liang is approximately equal to 10 gold.QDil
XohXKoSo the owlbear corpse is worth more or less 2,000 gold.jav33
BMj4fIH‘Why is it so expensive? Could it be because of the bear bile?’ElhF
5IzfOcThe owlbear is basically a type of bear, so its bile must be valuable.oAfNs
UDLUKfDEven if it is not that, if it sells for a high price that is fine.0TKaR
RDXJU1‘The wood is also quite expensive.’ugk
4xSEarning 10 gold every time I cut down a tree?vV1p1
pwKBHEI could become an environmental criminal without any problem.CyXL
X284Df‘Although my body would be destroyed first.’mBDDTN
4ucJVAt the very least I would have to reach the point of being able to knock down a tree with a single swing of the axe.wIkB3f
dsOIUUntil then I plan to avoid cutting trees just for money.otOv
L82‘Anyway I need wood for the wall.’GGq
1w8IAfter organizing my tasks more or less, I sat in the lotus position.FmfOlgn
03HwyFollowing the advice of HeavenlyDemon and SwordTasteMaster, I began breathing.7Olqu
YIE9Once in the morning, at noon, at night, and before sleeping.l7l
VYIA9HGFour times a day is the norm.pxl
F4McC8rBut there is an exception.Gxa
wEwrr6When you consume a spiritual pill.avkk
cillIn that case it is mandatory in order to absorb its energy.DfNni
Jd4jb‘Then I should do it every time I eat?’cGvw8v
fR5B4Since the fasting pills are basically a spiritual pill, it must be mandatory.xa86e5r
SrfGTI closed my eyes and began practicing the breathing as I had learned yesterday.DWaNuL8
Y6Y‘Start from the lower abdomen and make a full cycle through the body…’KoTJ
Iix4LChAt first I could not even control it, but afterward it became easy.xciYr
rMfJXThe problem is that every time it completes a cycle my stomach hurts.2o7GKMc
mdipsTI was worried that the same thing might happen today.zYpP
h2wm‘It passes through the heart and the head and returns to the abdomen.’1fo
DMaqDHeavenlyDemon said that for a beginner it is dangerous to pass through the heart and the head.agR
hcpPX8DNormally it can only be done after reaching a certain level.ZGL8eYc
Fz9But I opened it from the beginning.D2Xc
3ON95uiThat is why I bled from the nose, although I never actually reached danger.KSCD
sFGurVg‘Back to the abdomen.’ZdN
6oJpOThe mana that had traveled throughout the whole body returned to the abdomen.86ZD
5I0rjuUnlike yesterday, I did not feel stomach pain or anything similar.zoxRncx
BAolxFHMaybe I had already expelled everything that needed to come out.0kNcQAJ
22ykAfter making several more cycles, I slowly stopped the breathing.L92
cZ9CfUa“Fuu.”7txc
Ld8fHnFI released the air and slowly opened my eyes.ylfMa8k
wfPiThe first thing I saw were bright golden eyes.MW0DPt
XdEGE6QWhen I stared at them, the ball of fur tilted its head.RJf2Cts
OHS“Kyuu?”yj1HBLK
VAhqNeIt was Wonmo.aNCt
lS3It seems he had been watching me while I practiced breathing.hYP
Im63UH7At least he had the consideration not to interrupt me.yYD
2H4fTI stared at him and smiled slightly.CUAP
o1XVjmw“Are you hungry?”iLpeJ
2BgqPgW“Kyuu!”Dr46AS
3CTAu0“How is it that it seems like you understand everything I say?”aG8O
OcjF“Kyuu?”JSBlU
4QloW“You do not?”7uhPpNx
IDMWell, it does not matter.50qWCWh
VCmI bought a piece of meat from the auction house.Qyi6
rIgZWZWhen I gave it to Wonmo, he ate it with great enthusiasm.L9wCDL6
Km6Y1iMI should also give him water in case he is thirsty.ZhFJ3d
aiqTrickle, trickle.5QL0h
IJHW7g“Hm?”QfPG
hHTUBut the water was not flowing properly.N1hoy
XvYhIt was coming out, but the pressure was too weak.Ma8EQz
4INTLProbably the hose had some problem during the night or something happened in the river.QXZNnxH
jOyQZ“What a hassle.”HyJbn
49eD8RI will not go up there right now.RUW0
3USAt least some water is still coming out.wuXVE
OhgI gave water to Wonmo and ate a fasting pill for breakfast.UUVEl2B
tfCNow I no longer eat three per meal.4yrGijw
d0q43rOnly one.ZpwbrXC
3mXwEven if I eat just one, the bitter taste is still the same.gIxbm
IspZc3BMaybe one is better.zZoZGs
O8KU‘Can I try it right now?’2Sbtq7v
XqVI activated the cultivation method immediately and something different happened.exfzc
V8TSUSomething that was accumulated inside broke down and mixed with the mana.X4s
v2BIThat was probably the energy from the fasting pill.hpjA
bPSIn that state I circulated the mana.b8ob5OQ
1Jf1JqXThere were no big changes.f3ew
HXf2NWMy stomach did not hurt and everything was normal.qLXCZ0
Thx427T‘Could it be that my body already got used to it because I ate too many?’Au1
yvgMaybe.rnvTInM
dPmIn any case, I had already finished eating.VNB
PCVIt was time to go fix the hose.7RAnA
LRS2I took the sword and the shield and looked at Wonmo.5ikKtmC
JLYtJZrWonmo was staring at me, as if he knew I was leaving.NfjB
1Dzh“You have to stay here. Understood?”Un8bzvn
gtED6“Kyuu.”sWy
ojOafmf“Ah, and if your stomach hurts, do it outside. Not inside the cave.”r1rDn
RsL“Kyuu.”DOSWU
gzuW2OWonmo answered adorably.EdaxObu
P01eb06It seemed like he had understood.v35WkcN
NR637Well, even if he does not understand, toilet training can be done calmly.vI6HLNR
bVCThere is no rush.k7In4AR
cPNI patted Wonmo several times and left the cave.WCZYGh
EhntJ4‘Do my sword and shield feel lighter? Is it my imagination?’XWj
VRjMaybe because I slept well, the weight of the sword and shield felt much lighter.XClexU
kgdSGUNot only that.bKM
yHaThe condition of my whole body was excellent.M5dwrjJ
MPplwjThe change was so sudden that I could not help thinking about the internal method I learned yesterday.DRF
XcI8GWAlthough it could also just be today.ids7Cp9
ptAqK0Better not to have expectations that are too high.mr9
GA7zFZ‘I wish I felt like this every day.’QbpIMUA
s1vThinking that, I headed toward the river.OSkw8
Q1vuWhen I arrived at the place where I had worked with the hose, what I saw was…5YJg
kUyFzjSplash! Splash!sd5x
Lftii9B“…And now what is this?”yu1S
9D5mrA red fish completely blocking the outlet.V6rwzX
7Z8FL‘It looks like the Carp King.’xY26r
B9BlNMkMore or less that is what it looked like.mfJ3Ga
