Shen Lian laid on his right and closed his eyes. A strand of his fair fell from the side of his face. He looked refreshing.
Lei Jing was overcome by lust. However, she was intelligent and managed to shake off her lustful feelings. She realized how she did not hear Shen Lian breathe.
Thinking that it could not be right, she walked closer to Shen Lian who was on the couch. She focused on listening. She heard hundreds and thousands of tiny sounds of breathing; it was a beautiful symphony of melodies that hinted at something profound.
Shen Lian was breathing through all the pores on his body instead of his mouth and nose.
Daoist termed breathing through mouth and nose as external respiration while breathing through the pores was termed as internal respiration, which was also known as Guixi. The divine turtle led a long life due to its breathing technique.
