The ending move of the 108 is the Qi Gong training - 藏气. Sometime I only taught this move to old people for health.

Not all Qigong is created equally. It's patently absurd to say that taijiquan doesn't contain Qigong. What is Qigong? Are you using a limited definition?
The yang family manuals make direct reference to orally transmitted pressure point striking that is directly related to the meridians, channels, and watches.
The meditation instructions fill the classics.
There is also an expansive body of work directly examining the energy work as it relates to the movements. Postures can be prescribed as medicine and are related to meridians. The greater and lesser heavenly circulation is right there, why would you not lean into it?
I guess... Your Taijiquan doesn't have to incorporate energy work, but I just have to wonder why you would omit it? It's like investing in a high power sniper rifle and only shooting blanks.

Don't talk rubbish. Tai Chi does not "incorporate" energy work. Tai Chi IS energy work. If you practice Tai Chi, you practice neigong. Not Qigong.

The point is that whatever you call it, you're doing energy work.
If we want to split hairs the venn gets stupid, so what's the point?
We move energy through meridians to cultivate it. Call it what you like, it doesn't change a thing.
DAO-YIN: THE ORIGINAL QIGONG
Qigong has been known by many names throughout Chinese history. In ancient times, it was called tu gu na xin "expelling the old energy, drawing in the new," xing qi "moving the qi," yang sheng "nourishing the forces of life," nei gong "inner achievement," or most commonly as dao-yin "leading and guiding the energy." Dao-yin can also be translated as "guiding the qi and extending the limbs," thus referring to two of the primary components of self-healing: breathing and exercise.
