I think that Pai Mei was known to inhale and exhale using both his mouth and nose at the same time. This is a special type of breathing. Cosmic something or other.
Just make sure you lightly press the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth. Even if you don't like the word qi in your explanations, it completes an electrical circuit.
