Chapter 108: Eight Mysterious Meridian
Chapter 108: Eight Mysterious Meridian
" Damn, Just how many people were involved in this." Yang Shi cursed. His body was completely exhausted as last night he killed more than thirty peoples. His Longsword was reeking of blood now.
Yang Shi felt his Aura of Slaughter has grown over two times. He shook his head as he hastily entered Golden Fire Tower. The middle-aged man was dozing but seeing Yang Shi see got up.
" Ah, Master Yang, What brings you here?" The middle-aged man smiled as he asked Yang Shi. Yang Shi waved his hand as three stalks of grass and a plant with a yellow flower appeared in his hands.
" Th-This is...Three stalks of Soul Nourishing Grass and Ground Dragon Flower! I didn't expect that Master Yang would able to collect Soul Nourishing Grass in a week. This mission has remained incomplete for the last six months." The middle-aged man laughed. He took out two jade slips and burned them.
" Master Yang, You should go to the Hall of Reward. Show the elder your badge and he will give you the reward." The middle-aged man said. Yang Shi nodded as he went to the reward hall.
" Not Bad, kid. Here is your Sky Enchanting pill and Hundred Blood Tempering Roots." A skinny elder said to Yang Shi. " Thank you, Elder Xian." Yang Shi cupped his fist. " Wait, You didn't go to your resident in Golden Fire Tower, Did You?" The Elder Xian suddenly asked.
" Eh? Now you mentioned it, I really didn't check it out." Yang Shi smiled wryly. Since he is a Master rank Blacksmith, He has a resident allotted in Golden Fire Tower. Yang Shi went to check it out, But he didn't expect that it's a big house. With a large courtyard, a garden, and a pond. It has a separate room for Alchemy and Blacksmithing. It's three times better than the Gold and Jade Inn's sky-tier room.
" Holy Shit, No wonder, Golden Fire Tower really spends a load of money like metals. Fuck, I will leech off from them." Yang Shi's eyes sparkled. Even the Spiritual Qi is five times pure than outside.
" Mhmh, Since everything is prepared now, I should eat the Hundred Blood Tempering Roots to complete the great circle of Merdian Opening Realm. I can eat the sky Enchanting pills afterward." Yang Shi thought. He was just a hair's breadth away from the Fifth stage Primordial Spirit Realm.
So he wanted to bolster his physical body first. As Samsara Emperor instructed him before, He mustn't practice any kind of Qi cultivation method or Body refining method before he finishes the Body Remolding realm of Origin Chaos Energy Gathering Art. Only two stages remaining- Merdian Opening Realm and Wisdom Awakening Realm.
Yang Shi was confident that with the help of Hundred Blood Tempering Roots, He will complete both Merdian Opening and Wisdom Awakening realm in one go. He took out the herb and crushed it, drinking its juice.
*BOOM* His Internal energy rumbled as Yang Shi gathered it into his dantian. He constantly refined the liquid with his Internal Energy. Then with a sweep, he guided it into his meridians. There are two main purposes of Meridian Opening Realm.
First, It opens up the meridians and strengthens them along with other organs. With all meridians opened, The Internal Energy flow would be many times smoother than usual. The Internal energy would be purer and the strength of the practitioner would increase.
Secondly, It also increases the storage capacity of Internal Energy. It increases the Dantian, so the practitioner's energy storage becomes larger. In this cultivation world, Unless someone practicing an ancient immortal cultivation technique, There is no way they can increase the space of their Dantian before Violet Palace Expansion Realm.
" First, Open One hundred Eighty main meridians. Then Ninety-nine subsidiary meridians." Yang Shi chanted as he pushed the medicinal energy to open up his meridians. After opening the Main and subsidiary meridians, Yang Shi opened his Twelve Organ Governing Veins.
" First- Ocular Veins." Yang Shi shouted. Ocular veins are connected to the eyes. Opening it would able to strengthen the vision of the eyes. But suddenly, Yang Shi felt a piercing pain in his eyes.
" Keuuk!" Yang Shi's body trembled. " What is happening? Shouldn't my eyes suppose to feel gentle warmth?" Yang Shi cried in his mind. But then, He felt a cold sensation invading his eyes. " Th=This is the Azure Lotus." Yang Shi thought. He felt a change is occurring in his eyes. " I can only hope for the best. Even I became blind, I will just find some pills to recover it." Yang Shi gritted his teeth.
" Second- Heart Vein."
" Third- Root Vein."
" Fourth..."
" Fifth.."
Yang Shi opened all Twelve Veins. He could feel in Internal Organs, Five Senses becoming more powerful. " Now, Time to open the acupoints." Although there are hundreds of acupoints in the body, Nine of them are extremely difficult to find. And the Nine of them is most powerful. In fact, most people don't have any one of the Nine. But in Yang Shi's body, All nine were present.
" First Two, for Agility. One for long-distance, one for Instant burst of speed. Second Two, For physical power. Next Two - Dexterity and Footwork. Then one for Endurance and one for Energy. The final one is located on the forehead, Which is called the Acupoint of Mind." Yang Shi muttered as he opened one acupoint after another.
" Phew...Now, The Meridian Opening Realm is Comple-... Eh?" As Yang Shi thought he had completed the Meridian Opening Realm, He became stunned.
" This...Why there are eight extra veins here? No, That shouldn't be true. What meridians these are? I never heard anything about this?" Yang Shi thought. But as soon he tried to open them, His body lurched as he felt a strong repulsive force.
" What The hell?" Yang Shi became confused. He felt he indeed completed Meridian Opening Realm, But these Eight meridians left him dumbfounded. Yang Shi circulated his Internal Energy through his meridian and found he indeed completed the Meridian Opening stage.
" Hmm, But My Internal Energy has become purer." Yang Shi became pleasantly surprised. His Internal Energy became pale golden from gray color. Yang Shi slowly opened his eyes, but suddenly, a sharp pain assaulted his eyes as his vision became blurred. Yang Shi gritted his teeth as he blinked continuously. After some time, he felt his vision turned to normal. " Eh? I thought my vision would improve, but it's the same as before."
Yang Shi channeled Internal Energy to his palm as he slapped the floor. *BOOM* With a slight tremor, cracks spread on the ground as a palm-size hole appeared. Yang Shi nodded with satisfaction.
Suddenly, The pale golden Internal Energy gathered in his dantian and condensed into a gaseous ball. Then it exploded and filled every single cell with energy. Yang Shi felt a refreshing feeling.
" Eh? Waaaah! Such a pure amount of energy!." A voice spoke in Yang Shi's mind. It was the golden egg! Yang Shi slapped his mind as he almost forgot about it. After getting the Liquid Silver Mirthil, The golden egg went to seclusion to refine it.
" You made a breakthrough?" The golden egg asked. " Your strange energy has become so pure that I might able to hatch from this egg." It spoke with a voice of a little girl.
" Then why aren't you hatched yet?" Yang Shi asked. " Well, Although this strange energy is extremely beneficial to me, I need another kind of Qi to hatch." The golden egg shrugged. " What kind of qi?" Yang Shi asked again.
" Demonic Qi from Beast core." The egg replied. " I need a large amount of demon qi to break this egg." " That shouldn't be an issue. Deep Sky Forest has many Demonic beasts." Yang Shi replied.
" Eh? You have reached the Minor completion stage of Celestial View?" The golden egg asked Yang Shi with surprise.
