Chapter 14

Zhu Lingwu extended his hand and moved the power control lever on the training platform to the weakest setting. Then, he touched the two copper rods connected to the Baghdad battery with both hands.

Soon, a weak current began to spread through Zhu Lingwu's body from his hands, even though this was the first time in his life that he was cultivating a martial arts technique.

However, Zhu Lingwu had many advantages that ordinary people did not. After all, he was not an ordinary person. His soul power, which surpassed that of ordinary people, was enough to allow him to easily possess the ability of internal visualization.

Internal visualization is a term in martial arts cultivation, also known as internal observation. It refers to the practice of closing one's eyes, excluding external distractions, and without any wandering thoughts, observing a specific part of the body as if using X-rays to directly see through to the internal organs.

"Sit and often close your eyes to visualize internally, observe the five organs and intestines, and if you practice this for a long time, you will naturally see clearly. Internal visualization does not mean to withdraw your vision and return to listening; it means to observe with your mind, not with your eyes."

In a sense, internal visualization is a form of mental perception, where one focuses their mind and senses the inside of the body, thus visualizing the desired internal area in the mind.

For ordinary people to reach this state of internal visualization, it would take at least a decade of mental cultivation, and even if they had an initial understanding, it would still take ten to fifteen days.

According to the normal cultivation process of internal martial arts, the first step is to pass the stage of calming the mind and regulating the breath. This is known as "eyes looking at the nose, nose looking at the mouth, mouth looking at the heart, and the heart calming the breath."

One must calm the mind, exclude distractions, and guide the breath inhaled through the mouth and nose into the lungs, which then generates pressure to enter the heart, regulating the heart rate.

The heart is the main valve for the flow of blood in the human body, and the speed of the heartbeat is the driving force for blood flow. Therefore, controlling the speed of blood flow within the body is the most basic step in cultivating internal martial arts.

Controlling the speed of blood flow, and then being able to control the direction of blood flow, is the true beginning of cultivating internal martial arts. The time required for this process varies depending on one's martial arts talent.

Therefore, cultivating internal martial arts also depends on one's personality. Some people, even if they obtain the secrets of internal martial arts, may not be able to calm their minds and may be too restless to pass the first step of calming the mind and regulating the breath, and might never be able to cultivate internal martial arts.

However, a beginner still needs guidance from others and at least half a month to three months to pass the stage of calming the mind and regulating the breath.

After that, they can begin to regulate their breathing, control their heart rate, and influence their blood flow. This ability cannot be easily controlled without at least half a year of practice.

Therefore, in the normal training process, it would be impossible for Zhu Lingwu to sit on the training platform and absorb the current released by the Baghdad battery to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Lightning Body Technique without at least a year of practice.

However, with his powerful soul power, Zhu Lingwu could easily pass the initial stage of calming the mind and regulating the breath through internal visualization, and directly begin the cultivation steps of the Nine Revolutions Lightning Body Technique.

Guided by his soul power, he could easily sense the air he breathed, causing the lungs to expand and contract, which in turn pushed the blood into the heart's ventricles, affecting the heart rate.

This was the reason why Liu Ping, after verifying, agreed to let Zhu Lingwu use the training platform to formally cultivate the Nine Revolutions Lightning Body Technique. After all, cultivating internal martial arts is not a casual game.

Before this, Zhu Lingwu had already been able to guide the blood in his body to flow along a specific path according to the secrets of the Nine Revolutions Lightning Body Technique. Therefore, the weak current from the Baghdad battery was quickly guided by Zhu Lingwu's hands into the blood vessels and then continuously transported to the heart.

Clearly, the genius who created the Nine Revolutions Lightning Body Technique also used his hands to contact the current and began cultivation in this way, which is the correct method for cultivating the Nine Revolutions Lightning Body Technique.

In fact, there was already some special blood with electrical properties in Zhu Lingwu's heart ventricles. This was the result of the Eight-Year-Old Child running the Nine Revolutions Lightning Body Technique when he was struck by lightning, a foundation obtained at the risk of his life.

This reduced some of the obstacles for Zhu Lingwu's cultivation. Now, he only needed to integrate the newly introduced current into the original special blood with electrical properties, and then drive this blood to flow along the Ren Meridian according to the Nine Revolutions Lightning Body Technique, gradually opening the acupoints on the Ren Meridian.

The Nine Revolutions Lightning Body Technique, as a top-tier internal martial arts technique, naturally begins with the opening of the Ren and Du Meridians of the Small Circulation.

The Ren and Du Meridians are two of the eight extraordinary meridians in the human body, and they are also the two meridians with relatively clear acupoints among the eight extraordinary meridians. Therefore, some people also separate the Ren and Du Meridians from the eight extraordinary meridians and combine them with the twelve main meridians of the Large Circulation, calling them the fourteen main meridians.

The Ren Meridian starts at the Huiyin point and ends at the Chengjiang point, with a total of twenty-four acupoints. The Du Meridian starts at the Changqiang point and ends at the Yintang point, with a total of twenty-eight acupoints.

The cultivation of internal martial arts generally begins with the opening of the acupoints on the Ren Meridian, as the Ren Meridian is the main channel for blood, making it the most convenient for regulating the body's blood flow and starting subsequent cultivation.

As a witch, Zhu Lingwu originally knew nothing about acupoints and meridians, as his body in his original world was already a dead body, and acupoints and meridians were meaningless.

Although the previous owner of this body, the Eight-Year-Old Child, left some memories, Zhu Lingwu still had a superficial understanding of acupoints and meridians.

This shows that the Eight-Year-Old Child was extremely bold, daring to seek out lightning to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Lightning Body Technique with only a superficial understanding of acupoints.

Before formally beginning the cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Lightning Body Technique, Zhu Lingwu had thoroughly studied the human body's acupoints and meridians through Liu Ping.

At the same time, Zhu Lingwu also used his soul power to sense more differences in the human body's meridians and acupoints. The meridians can be considered a distribution line of the body's bio-energy field.

The acupoints on the meridians are nodes of the body's magnetic field, releasing magnetic waves to interact with the natural magnetic field of the earth. Any abnormalities in any part of the body can be reflected in the magnetic fluctuations of the acupoints.

This is a special scientific research topic, which will not be detailed here.

Zhu Lingwu did not know how others sensed the distribution of bio-energy, but through his soul power, he could feel that his body's organs and regions were connected by these large and small energy fields, forming a small universe-like energy field.

The known and unknown acupoints in the body, like stars in the night sky, were scattered here and there, but according to the known meridian diagrams, Zhu Lingwu could quickly identify the meridian lines and acupoints, just like recognizing constellations in the night sky.

Now, according to the Nine Revolutions Lightning Body Technique, driving the blood containing the weak current along the Ren Meridian, Zhu Lingwu found that seven or eight acupoints on the Ren Meridian were already open...
