Chapter 87: Cheating couple

——(POV Li Huang, while thinking about what Hu Anjing was thinking)——

This sort of training is honestly good but there is a problem here; Hu Anjing can't use it much as she is in the twelfth stage of Meridian formation so if she were to break through to the next realm there might be dire consequences.

The trial doesn't allow anyone who is in the True Qi realm to enter it, so if Hu Anjing were to break through to the next realm she is not qualified to enter this test. You might think that now that she entered it shouldn't matter that much but this is not proven, so there is the risk that she might get ejected from the trial space at the moment she succeeds in breaking through to the next realm.

'Who knows what kind of fail-safes they have created to assure that anyone who is on the trial has a cultivation lower than the first stage of the True Qi realm.' I thought.

So, in short, she shouldn't use it to break through but it is almost impossible because you are passively getting closer to the next realm, in other terms you are always cultivating like how you keep breathing. So if she were to sit here she would definitely breakthrough as the power of this Qi is too much to even try and suppress your breakthrough.

So the logical thing to do is to say 'oh well, I guess I won't meditate here' but she could gain too much here to leave it aside. She can use this time to solidify her [Mortal body transcendence formation] as she would get a very pure Qi that she can use to better the paths that she has created for this formation.

From what I can say, this half a day could equal half a year of training for her so this is big enough to tempt you to give it a try.

What we were both thinking about was a solution to this problem that would benefit both of us at the same time.

If I were to absorb all the excess Qi in Hu Anjing's body she won't break through but she could use them to shape the pathways as they are passing through her body. So in short she would get all the benefits from this condensed Qi without risking her trial and I would also gain twice the dense Qi that can help me stabilize my meridians way easier and in a shorter time.

"You know, this feels a little like cheating…" I couldn't help but voice out.

——(POV third person)——

"Well, it is more of an exploit." Hu Anjing said. They were using the meditation session in an unintended way but it wasn't against any rules.

"True, in a normal situation no one would give out their Qi to another person so it makes sense that there is no rule against it. Our situation made it a win-win for both of us." Li Huang agreed. If Hu Anjing didn't have the [Mortal body transcendence formation] to work on, she wouldn't have any gains from this.

"You better be grateful for this." Hu Anjing said to him.

"That I am." Li Huang cupped his fists and said over dramatically.

"Okay, let's do this." Hu Anjing said as she stretched her hands toward Li Huang.

Li Huang also did the same and put his hands on hers. They did so to create a bridge between their body so that their Qi can connect from there. Of course, this technique wasn't created for this, it was used for a master to teach their disciples how to work with their Qi but it would work for this purpose nonetheless.

Theoretically, if they hugged each other they could move Qi easier but there were two problems with that. First that the space between meditation setups wouldn't allow it and second that Hu Anjing couldn't handle doing so for half a day and would pass out from embarrassment long before that. Luckily for her, the first reason trumped any thought about this matter.

Hu Anjing intertwined her fingers with Li Huang's.

Li Huang who didn't expect this raised an eyebrow subconsciously.

Hu Anjing got a little flustered but came up with an excuse fast.

"…This makes the connection stronger so this way we won't separate easily when meditating." She said as she herself nodded, seeming to convince herself too.

"That… is actually clever." Li Huang said. He could read Hu Anjing like an open book and understood what was going on but feigned ignorance and while closing his eyes, held her hands a little tighter.

Hu Anjing was getting redder by the second but she calmed herself down as she heard Li Huang's words.

"Okay, let's start." He said.

"Yes." Taking a deep breath, Hu Anjing also started her meditation.

…

Within minutes Li Huang could feel the intense Qi moving throughout his body. Usually one would have to try and stabilize a meridian by forcing Qi through that path, but now there wasn't really a need to do so.

Why? Because there was so much Qi in Li Huang's body that the meridians were getting stabilized almost at the same time. Before this meditation session, he had already stabilized two of the nine meridians that he can stabilized in his current cultivation stage. Except for the ninth meridian that is the hardest one to open in all the stages of the Meridian formation realm, all other 6 meridians were getting simultaneously stabilized as his body was getting more Qi pumped in it by Hu Anjing.

Now that he was one step away from opening those meridians, he only had to make the Qi in his body calm. To do so, he had to create an output stream for all the excess Qi in his body so that the meridians can be stabilized.

Last time he used his hands to do so but as his hands were busy, he had to do something different this time. making a quick decision, he used his head as a safe place to output Qi from. Everyone was in meditation but if one were to see Li Huang at this moment they would think his head was on fire.

On the other hand, Hu Anjing was also improving her formation path every second as the paths were becoming smoother with each iteration.

This was only the start of the half-day training for this duo.
