"Young Master Qin, was that... Qi just now?" someone couldn't help but ask.
This was truly somewhat beyond their understanding of common sense.
Wasn't this so-called Qi just something fabricated in TV shows and novels?
To think it actually existed!
Qin Ning nodded gently, "You can understand it that way."
"Then, after we cultivate according to your mantra, can we also cultivate this kind of Qi?" Everyone's faces were filled with a burning passion.
"You can, but you won't be able to release your Qi outward like I do."
Qin Ning explained, "By cultivating according to the mantra I taught you, you will at most be able to cultivate Qi within your bodies. You won't reach the level of releasing it outward."
"However, having Qi in your body, even if it cannot be released, allows you to channel it to protect yourselves. Simply put, you can condense the Qi on the surface of your skin to form something similar to armor. The stronger the Qi, the better the protective effect. It can even stop bullets."
"Stop bullets!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces revealed looks of astonishment, feeling that this was incredibly unbelievable.
"If I go into more detail, you probably won't understand it anyway. You'll find out exactly what it's like once you start cultivating," Qin Ning said.
Subsequently, he imparted the cultivation mantra to the crowd, first having them memorize it firmly in their minds.
Meanwhile, Xia Fei and the others on the side couldn't help but lean in; they were naturally very interested in cultivation as well.
Qin Ning said, "You guys can memorize it too. However, if you truly want to cultivate, it's not that simple. Just the physical training alone is not something your delicate bodies can endure."
This was the physical flaw of most modern people; accustomed to good days, their bodies were in a state of sub-optimal health.
"Young Master Qin, can this be resolved through physical conditioning?"
Zhou Ping'an couldn't help but ask, "For example, those tea leaves of yours. If we persistently drink them for a period of time, will our physical fitness improve?"
"It can."
Qin Ning nodded, "Keep drinking it for about three months. By then, your physical fitness should reach a level comparable to that of an average soldier."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Yousheng and the others again. "I have already taught you the mantra. Once you have memorized it, begin your cultivation. First, run a hundred laps around the villa with a light load, then another hundred laps with a heavy load. After that, you can try cultivating according to the mantra. If you have any questions, you can come to me anytime."
Everyone nodded. A lap around the villa was only one or two hundred meters. A hundred laps meant twenty kilometers.
A light-load twenty-kilometer run was like a walk in the park for people like them; it could be completed in about an hour.
A heavy load would be somewhat difficult, but it would merely take more time.
...
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
After cultivating according to the mantra imparted by Qin Ning, Wang Yousheng and the others could clearly perceive the changes brought to their bodies. There was faintly the presence of Qi within them. Although it wasn't strong, the beginning is always the hardest part.
If they continued to cultivate in this manner in the future, their bodies would inevitably reach an unprecedented human limit, which was true invulnerability to swords and spears!
"Brother, I want to donate some supplies to our old orphanage. I heard that there are a lot more children in our orphanage now than before. Although there are various subsidies, the conditions are still relatively difficult."
At noon that day, Qin Fei had just returned from the company and suddenly mentioned this matter to Qin Ning.
"Alright, it just so happens that we haven't been back to take a look in a long time. See what needs to be prepared, and we'll make a trip there in the next couple of days," Qin Ning nodded.
He and Qin Fei had grown up in the orphanage since they were young, so they naturally had feelings for the place.
Now that so many years had passed, he wondered how the director and the former caretakers were doing.
Over the next two days, Qin Fei took Zhou Ping'an and a few others around to purchase items. Supplies were prepared truckload after truckload. It was estimated that ten large trucks would be needed to haul everything.
On the third day, everyone gathered outside the villa early in the morning. Gu Siyu and Cheng Weiyang were also living in the villa now, and they planned to go to the orphanage together today, wanting to see exactly what the place where the Qin siblings grew up looked like.
"Brother, I contacted the director a couple of days ago, and he also knows we are coming today," Qin Fei said.
Qin Ning nodded, "Then let's go."
Soon, the group got into a commercial vehicle. Zhong Mingyuan drove, heading towards the suburbs.
The orphanage was quite large. When it was being built back then, because such a large plot of land could not be allocated in the city center, they had to choose the suburbs. Although the roads were convenient, many living facilities, medical care, and the like were not easily accessible.
After about a thirty-minute drive, the commercial vehicle stopped in front of an orphanage.
Outside the gate, quite a few people were gathered, along with a white-haired old man.
Director Shen Jianshan was already seventy years old this year. He had long reached retirement age, but because he couldn't put his mind at ease regarding the children in the orphanage, he had continued to hold the position of director.
Besides Shen Jianshan, there were also several caretakers here. All of them had worked at the orphanage for at least over a decade. They had been there back when Qin Ning and Qin Fei were still around, and they still hadn't left.
Seeing Qin Ning's group stepping out of the commercial vehicle, Shen Jianshan and the others quickly came over to welcome them.
Although Qin Ning and Qin Fei's appearances had changed quite a bit from back then, they were still easy to recognize.
"Director Shen."
Seeing that the other party was now so white-haired, Qin Fei's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and many scenes of her past years in the orphanage flashed through her mind.
"Xiao Fei, Xiao Ning, you've returned." Director Shen and the several caretakers were also shedding tears of old age.
Back then, these two children could be said to be the most well-behaved and obedient in the orphanage, so they had a very deep impression of them.
"Yes, we're back," Qin Ning nodded, also feeling a sense that things remained but people had changed.
"Director, my brother and I came back today mainly to donate some supplies to the orphanage. The supplies should arrive shortly; our car was a bit faster," Qin Fei said.
"Good, good, you are very thoughtful. In the future, if you have time, just come back and visit us often. Don't feel embarrassed to come back just because you didn't bring anything," the old director said with a smile.
As for the donation Qin Fei mentioned, he had already known about it over the phone a few days ago.
However, the old director didn't know what exactly Qin Fei was donating this time. Qin Fei hadn't specified, and in his mind, it was probably just some clothes, textbooks, and the like.
"Young Master Qin, Xiao Fei, the trucks carrying the supplies have arrived."
Xia Fei glanced into the distance down the long street and then spoke.
Hearing this, the old director and the others also subconsciously looked over, and then their faces immediately revealed astonishment.
They saw a row of large trucks slowly driving towards them. Each one was extremely massive, and there were a full ten of them. Just how many supplies was this?
