If you are interested in chi specifically, then you must drink tea, and lots of it. Do some digging and you'll find the real stuff is way better and way cheaper than the shitty tea you can get in tea bags. Go for loose leaf and pressed tea cakes. Whites, greens, oolongs, blacks, puers. Drink a lot, and drink for what they teach, not just pleasure. Tea is a low-grade psychedelic that needs time to work.
Avoid exercises that isolate muscles unless you know what you're doing. If you train your body that way it will learn habits that stop energy from flowing freely. Prefer to train by playing sports, dancing, martial arts, etc. I recommend practicing quarterstaff flourishes. The momentum of the staff will punish your muscles for misdirecting energy and force them to adapt. Once you pick up the feel for it in your arms you'll be able to do it for the rest of your body.

longmen pai is a cousin lineage to mo pai, but its gonna be expensive
>but I want to learn feats of chi for free
not recommended, but if you're dead set on it then you'd best begin to solidly cover the fundamentals of sitting, standing, stillness and prepare for the time you can train those other things
the first thing they will teach you are these foundational methods anyway, this is why I always beat the drum of fundamentals around here
you guys wanna learn stuff, start with the basics and cultivate them solidly, dont skip ahead because its not really skipping ahead.
the fastest way to progress is developing the fundamentals very solidly
