um...I hope the Qi Qong won't give me "sad energy" or "angry energy". "negative energy" is another common term from yogis. What's that? Is "gaining negative energy" a gain or a loss? Finally, can anyone tell me the meaning of "negative loving energy" or "positive sad energy"?
"gaining negative energy" is a gain. Next we need to come to
an understanding of the term "negative" (and positive).
Is negative/positive understood with feelings of good and bad ?
Or is it understood as an expression of quality like Ying/Yang ?
Now I never have heard the term "negative loving energy" and I really
don't know what to make of it. May be you should give an example
or tell me where you have heard this.
And by the way, I also am sceptical about the number crunchers
of Qi Gong. All I can say to this is: may be the belief in some
magical number helps them to manifest something. In the end,
the practitioner does not know if it was the magical number or
his own belief that helped him achieve something.

The energy language is mythologised and will only create much misunderstanding.
That's true, but at its best, it's just picturesque and poetic. Unfortunately, at its worst it is misleading as you say.
There are psychological reasons why it is natural and picturesque to say someone is 'giving off negative energy', for example. The body-language systems, both expressive and interpretative, in all their richness, evolved to be able to express this 'energy'. So it is true that, in general, people are giving out constant messages about their internal state, whether they intend it or not.
By the way, Alvin, "negative" as used by people in this domain, tends to ultimately simply mean 'bad', or 'undesirable'.
