True Qi changes everything.
Over the course of the next weeks, you stabilize your new realm. And feel extremely well.
Your channels, painfully developped during the first realm, are now able to channel your refined True Qi.
It's strange : the threads are less and less blood-string like and more and more pure energy as they cycle through your aperture before pooling in your lower Dantian.
That mythical "Dantian" is a mystical energy receptacle, akin to Aperture - not present in the physical world, but shining brightly for your Astral Self.
You are currently working on filling the energy of the First Dantian, known as the Origin Dantian. In this realm, Ryota told you you have to accumulate energy and use your raw true Qi to shatter the bareers among the dantian along a cycle. Once the cycle completed, your energy will qualitatively improve once more.
Said Dantian is localized in the lower section of your midriff, connected to most channels - not like the aperture.
True Qi is liquid, shapeless. Your developped Elemental channels, by an alchemical process you don't understand, change it while still in your body and let you materialize it under the new elemental form.
You're especially impressed by the result of your <span class="mu-s">Rising Phoenix Wide Ballet</span> practice.
The body-tempering dance covers you in golden flames, shaped like burning feathers. No doubt your Phoenix Fire is purer and mighter than the mundane version.
However, without a profound comprehension and a few breakthrough, you won't capitalize easily on those changes.
That, and your meditation turns out more than you can stomach.
Maybe it was plain bad luck - but you despise shifting the blame away from yourself : this is an unbearable mark of weakness and avoiding the consequences of your action.
No, the truth is simpler : bad control of your Qi. You should had taken into account your Poison channels are already well developped. That your channel able to reduce Qi potency were narrower. Whatever it is, you pushed yourself half a step too far and get too poisonned for comfort. Granted, it was not so bad - but enough to make you puke and shiver for three days and three night, taking away precious practice time.
You think you'll really need to work on that Selftrial of yours for the technique to include more favorable aspect - Growth has no dedicated channels in one's body, after all.
It doesn't prevent you to practice your bow style, though. Merely delay the speed which you create the precious True Qi for your first dantian.
