Maybe some questions will help me with your specifics. In what part of the world do you reside? Do you currently have a teacher? How are you currently learning? What are you trying to accomplish with your training?

First you need to be a decent person to begin with. That will mean wildly different things for many different people. Staying out of trouble and being respectful of others are good signs imo. Not holding extremist views, nor judging people in a shallow way.
So what is the goal of one's training?

What I learned was way before I was aware of Feng Zhiqiang. I also learned a qi gong system from a TCM doctor from the mainland and he also referred to material as being hun yuan qigong although it was titled differently
