The first group of young members of Wen family entered a quiet training chamber.
They sat according to the instructions preserved in the old manuscripts and began following the breathing pattern that had been passed down through generations.
At first, nothing happened.
Then one young man suddenly stiffened.
His brow furrowed.
"I feel something."
An elder immediately stepped forward.
"What do you feel?"
The young man placed a hand over the lower part of his abdomen.
"Warmth."
The word caused several elders to exchange glances.
Before they could ask another question, a young woman sitting nearby suddenly pressed a hand against her chest.
"I feel pressure here."
Her breathing became slightly uneven.
Another participant began experiencing dizziness and had to stop the exercise entirely. Several others reported strange sensations throughout their bodies, while a number of participants felt absolutely nothing.
The results were inconsistent.
Wildly inconsistent.
