Someone once compared the human body to a vast world, with the body's acupoints being like regions and checkpoints. Although this analogy is somewhat one-sided, it does have a certain degree of truth.
As a holy healer, Feng Jueyu was extremely familiar with the body's acupoints. The human body has a total of 409 acupoints, and including the meridian points, extraordinary points, and various intersections, there are roughly 1,700 acupoints in total. These acupoints all have certain functions; when used properly, they can relax muscles, promote blood circulation, and smooth the flow of qi. Conversely, if they are attacked, they can cause minor injuries or even be fatal. Or if wind evil enters the body, it can damage the body...
The dantian is the most important of all. On the Tai Xuan continent, martial artists can break through the dantian at the Void Martial Realm and cultivate the Purple Mansion. At the Qi Martial Realm, the Purple Mansion is full, and one can feel the flow of true qi. This is the norm. However, Feng Jueyu's Life and Death Unpredictable Art can reach the Qi Martial Realm but cannot open the Purple Mansion dantian, which is a significant difference.
However, the appearance of the yellowish round mass puzzled Feng Jueyu. According to the signs of successfully breaking through the dantian, the existence of the qi mass was like the true qi accumulated in the dantian, both abundant and stable. For a while, Feng Jueyu thought his dantian had moved. After the qi mass moved for a moment, it precisely lodged in an acupoint that Feng Jueyu couldn't even name.
"What does this mean?"
Feng Jueyu was stunned. If not for the attempt to break through the dantian, where did the intense pain come from? Could an unnamed acupoint also serve as a dantian?
"Ridiculous!"
Just as Feng Jueyu was shocked, he never expected that the shock was far simpler than what he saw.
His divine consciousness scanned the dantian but found no abnormalities. The life and death qi could not break through the dantian acupoint but instead gathered a large amount of similar yellowish qi masses nearby.
One, two, three...
Four, five...
Six...
Seven...
There were actually seven, each emitting a pure and thick true qi aura...
More terrifyingly, after Feng Jueyu carefully observed, he found that the seven qi masses were lodged in the acupoints, as if each acupoint had been opened and true qi had entered.
This yellowish qi mass, different from the life and death qi, had the characteristics of true qi and was extremely pure, no different from the internal qi stored in the dantian by martial artists.
Feng Jueyu was almost certain that the seven acupoints had formed their own "dantian," fully breaking through the acupoint barriers and advancing to the acupoint prison...
With this discovery, Feng Jueyu almost went crazy with excitement. The seven acupoints independently opened to store true qi around the dantian, meaning he would have seven dantians, which was too crazy...
Feng Jueyu had long forgotten the intense pain in his body, allowing the needle-like pain to torture his nerves. He focused entirely on the seven acupoints.
These seven acupoints formed the pattern of the Big Dipper. The seven yellowish chaotic qi masses were like seven bright star clusters in the night, emitting a dazzling light. The sparks and qi currents generated by the collision of life and death qi were immediately absorbed by the nearest seven acupoints, repeating this cycle. Feng Jueyu suddenly realized that his true qi was continuously growing stronger.
"Indeed, as expected!"
In the empty room, Feng Jueyu's eyes suddenly brightened like two lamps. He changed his gesture to accelerate the movement of the technique. The life and death qi, which had been summoned by Feng Jueyu, withdrew from the dantian and split into seven "black and white armies" to attack the seven major acupoints...
A surging flood of Hong Yuan spiritual energy burst forth from the Hong Yuan space, converted by the Life and Death Unpredictable Art into life and death qi, and spread throughout the body via the Ren and Du meridians.
At this moment, Feng Jueyu's entire body was fully open, with all meridians unblocked. The life and death qi surged forward, desperately attacking the seven major acupoints.
The two major spiritual energies outside the seven-star acupoints interacted and collided intensely, emitting brilliant true qi sparks, which were then simultaneously absorbed by the seven acupoints, continuously nourishing Feng Jueyu's true qi.
After a full hour, the seven acupoints were filled with a vast amount of true qi, finally coalescing into the martial artist's innate true essence.
With the seven acupoints activated, Feng Jueyu's spirit was greatly invigorated, and all 108 million pores on his body were fully relaxed. Feng Jueyu pushed the divine technique to its ultimate level, and the black and white Hong Yuan true essence faintly appeared on his skin...
"Life and death in the same acupoint, all acupoints coexist, the three talents manifest, true essence converges, the five qi and three flowers gather at the top, the dantian cycle, the technique is complete and the method is clear..."
Suddenly, the seven acupoints had absorbed the true essence to fullness, and the life and death qi stopped on their own, transforming into a continuous flow of qi and returning to the meridians. Feng Jueyu also stopped his technique, focusing his mind, and the true essence flowed through the dantian, the meridians, and the acupoints...
Without Feng Jueyu needing to activate the technique, the true essence from the seven acupoints became the key to the flow of true essence, forming a cycle through the seven-star pattern. No matter how the life and death qi moved, they would always pass through the seven acupoints, transforming into a continuous flow of innate true essence, reshaping the body...
This section of the technique was the second level of the Life and Death Unpredictable Art. Compared to the "life and death qi," the second level had a more fitting name that Feng Jueyu could not ignore, which shocked and delighted him...
The second level of the divine technique: Hundred Acupoints Surrounding the Dantian.
The first level is "life and death qi,"
The second level is "hundred acupoints surrounding the dantian,"
Even if Feng Jueyu were foolish and ignorant of the cultivation system of the Tai Xuan world, he could understand the meaning of "hundred acupoints surrounding the dantian"...
The first level of the divine technique signifies the transformation from Hong Yuan to the beginning, from the beginning to chaos, and from chaos to life and death...
Here, "life and death" can also be referred to as "two instruments" or "yin and yang"...
The second level, undoubtedly, is the transformation of the two instruments into the three talents in the cycle of heaven and earth...
The three talents manifest, true essence flows... the dantian cycle begins, all methods become clear...
This is the great truth of heaven and earth!
Feng Jueyu let out a long sigh, his heart swelling with grand ambition, echoing in the empty valley. From chaos to the two instruments, to the three talents... the Hong Yuan Heavenly Canon is indeed a treasure of the universe, and its cultivation method also contains the great truth of heaven and earth...
Did I get a good deal this time?
Ha ha...
If it weren't for the late hour, Feng Jueyu would have almost run outside to sing a song. This feeling was too damn good. In just one hour, I advanced from the Qi Martial Realm to the True Martial Realm, and even if I encounter a Spirit Martial Realm expert, I won't be afraid, right?
He he, ha ha, ha ha...
The first level of the life and death qi brought me a pleasant surprise, so what powerful technique does the second level of the hundred acupoints surrounding the dantian bring? Let me see.
Feng Jueyu, feeling extremely elated, calmed his mind, suppressed his joy, and used his divine consciousness to examine the seven-star acupoints. After activating the divine technique, Feng Jueyu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"Hundred acupoints surrounding the dantian, it's like this?"
Feng Jueyu's eyes were wide like a bull's, bloodshot. He didn't know until he saw it, and it was a shock: the "hundred acupoints surrounding the dantian" is a method to cultivate all acupoints into dantians, based on the Life and Death Unpredictable Art, transforming the two qi into the three talents, forming a flow of true essence through all acupoints and residing in the acupoints, and then using an unconventional method to transform all acupoints into dantians...
In this way...
Feng Jueyu couldn't even imagine it. Every martial artist has only one dantian, and even if they cultivate to a high level, they are still limited.
In contrast, he had already opened seven acupoints at the second level, and although he was only at the True Martial Realm, he had seven dantians of the True Martial Realm, with a much more substantial true essence than martial artists of the same level.
This isn't a simple 1+1=2 concept; it's an exponential concept...
And the surprises didn't stop there. After careful observation and insight, Feng Jueyu discovered that the second level of the divine technique brought him a special technique, or method, or even a profound technique...
Yuan Qi Devour!
Yuan Qi Devour, as the name suggests, is a method that can use multiple "dantians" to absorb the true essence from another person's body and use it for oneself. In simpler terms, it's a version of the Star Absorption Technique from another world. It is particularly suitable for use in dangerous situations when the opponent far exceeds oneself, and its power can span two major levels.
This means that with his current True Martial Realm cultivation, Feng Jueyu can absorb the true qi of Spirit Martial Realm or even Profound Martial Realm experts for his own use, temporarily enhancing his cultivation. The effect lasts about ten minutes, or the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn...
This is insane. Imagine being pursued by a Profound Martial Realm expert in a crisis, and when there's no way out, using "Yuan Qi Devour" to immediately transform into a Profound Martial Realm expert. Even if you can't completely drain the opponent's power, you can at least achieve a draw within the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn. And this is in a direct confrontation; if it's an ambush...
Feng Jueyu felt more and more elated the more he thought about it. Wasn't this a tailor-made life-saving technique for his current situation?
Too awesome, the Hong Yuan Heavenly Canon is too awesome...
"La la la... la la la..."
For the rest of the afternoon, Feng Jueyu's cultivation advanced rapidly, and he couldn't help but jump out of bed and sing a little tune...
In the opposite pavilion, Shangguan Ruomeng, with a haggard face, wrapped in a thick blanket, looked out the window. Although she couldn't see the inside, hearing the simple yet pleasant melody, she knew how happy Feng Jueyu was at that moment.
Although she didn't understand why Feng Jueyu was so happy, Shangguan Ruomeng smiled, "This fool, what is he singing?"
Xing'er also heard the song from the opposite building and said, "Sir, where did he learn this tune? It's simple and easy to understand, really interesting..."
Shangguan Ruomeng nodded, recalling Feng Jueyu's serious and responsible expression in the morning and his confident smile, which made her feel warm and comfortable. She looked at Xing'er and asked, "Xing'er, do you think Sir has changed a lot recently?"
Xing'er didn't even think about it and said, "Sir has changed a lot. Although he is sometimes still not serious, he is much more restrained, unlike before when he was persistent and annoying. Also, when Sir is serious, he has a lot of presence, like Master and Grandmaster. Yes, Xing'er thinks Sir is different from before. He can even speak eloquently... worrying about the world before enjoying it..."
Xing'er imitated the sentence she heard at the talent show on the lake, with a look of endless savoring: "Sir was really impressive that day..."
Shangguan Ruomeng subconsciously glanced at Xing'er and scolded, "You little brat, looking at you, one would think you're talking about your lover."
Xing'er was startled and immediately blushed and lowered her head, "No, no, Xing'er wouldn't dare."
"You wouldn't dare?" Shangguan Ruomeng had no intention of blaming her but felt a sense of pride. It was a great thing for her husband to be praised.
"I think you're in heat..." Shangguan Ruomeng couldn't help but tease her.
Xing'er was even more frightened and waved her hands in explanation. Halfway through, she suddenly paused, "Miss, you used to call him 'Big Brother Feng,' but just now you called him 'Sir.' Miss, do you like him..."
Shangguan Ruomeng was stunned. She didn't expect Xing'er to catch her slip of the tongue. Recalling it, she indeed called Feng Jueyu "Sir," which never happened before. Could it be that I really like him?
Xing'er looked up at Shangguan Ruomeng, seeing her face flush, and said, "Oh~ oh~, Miss, you're done for, you really like him."
"Brat, shut up."
"Oh, you like him and won't let me say it, hehe~ spare me, Miss..."
