Chapter 12
So to speak, it was the same as a planet. The gravitational force of the earth pulled everything to the ground and made this planet a perfect place for life. Likewise, the existence of innate Genuine-Qi allowed the acquired Genuine-Qi to maintain its presence.
Mari said, "This is just an example. As you know, qi has no figure or smell, so its volume doesn’t increase or so, but extracting your maximum internal force from the cultivation method means..."
"It means to consume the innate Genuine-Qi. According to your explanation, it’s like weakening gravity,” responded Yongno.

Yongno asked, "Then, developing internal martial arts with the Gold Core Immortal Technique is..."
