Chapter 263 Open Source and Unblocking Channels: Strengthening the Physical Body and Meridians, Unblocking Channels in One Turn! Practical Application!
Name: Qin Fang
Occupation: Boss
[Rank: Tier 3, Level 90]
[True Cultivation Level: Open Source Realm (True Realm Perfection)]
...
Has his true cultivation level transformed from the 'Mortal Realm' to the 'True Realm'?
this……
Qin Fang blinked.
Clearly, this 'True Realm' is an existence that transcends the 'Mortal Realm'.
"One unit is the 'Mortal Realm,' and ten units are the 'True Realm'?"
He frowned, and after a moment, he let out a soft breath.
Forget it, I'll ask Old Rabbit about this concept of realms later.
He thought about it, then looked at his dantian and smiled with satisfaction...
The army, now ten times larger than before, marches in cycles around his twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, which are the twenty "military routes."
This powerful feeling is intoxicating.
"However, with so much new source energy generated, there are problems with the control of the power, and it needs to be 'reorganized' again."
He made a lot of money again, but all of it was injected through violence, and he needed to reorganize it.
With that thought in mind, he closed his eyes and began to circulate his source energy, gathering the scattered soldiers from all over the world and turning them into an army.
This process lasted for an hour.
An hour later, Qin Fang let out a long breath.
He lowered his head, clenched his fist, felt the surging power within his body, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face...
The energy source has been completely controlled.
"However, with the army expanding so much, the 'military channels' have become somewhat congested. With just a slightly larger army, I feel waves of stinging pain... It's time to start clearing the channels."
Qin Fang squinted.
This time, there are three rewards in total: an 'Advanced Source Energy Cultivation Technique', a 'Meridian Unblocking Manual', and the 'Second Level of the Nine Slashes of Xunfeng'.
Now, he's going to start 'clearing the channels'!
It is entirely possible to cultivate both the meridians and the source energy simultaneously.
Previously, the source energy was too weak, making it difficult to cultivate and open the meridians... because opening the meridians requires consuming a large amount of source energy to 'strengthen' and 'expand' the meridians.
Treat the 'meridians' in your body as divine weapons to forge and strengthen, ultimately reaching a point where you can wield all your power at will.
Furthermore, Old Rabbit hadn't passed on the 'meridian clearing' secret manual to him before. He only knew that he needed to strengthen it, but how to strengthen it? How to expand it? He hadn't explained.
Now that he has the manual, Qin Fang can naturally begin to 'unblock the meridians'.
He opened the panel and began to seriously study the secrets of meridian clearing.
"Is that so...?"
After carefully reading the manual on clearing the meridians, Qin Fang showed a surprised expression... because the process was a little different from what he had imagined.
First of all, it's not simply a matter of nourishing the meridians with energy and forcibly widening them.
Instead, it needs to expand and tear again and again, but not to the point of complete shattering, and then be nourished and repaired with source energy.
This process is repeated time and again to strengthen the meridians.
Moreover, this process requires guiding the source energy to build a very ingenious structure, thereby thoroughly improving the strength of the meridians...
The whole process felt like a massive and meticulous construction project, rather than the simple and brutal process one might imagine.
Because the requirements for meridians are different, some areas need 'strength' while others need 'resilience', and the ways to nourish these two are completely different.
This is just like the human body; it's about exercising.
However, if you only pursue large muscles, you may end up with very large muscles but lose mobility, and you won't even be able to scratch an itchy back.
However, if we only focus on mobility, then our strength will definitely be greatly lacking...
This is how ordinary people exercise.
The same applies to spiritual practitioners.
Strengthening the meridians is also a process of strengthening the body and muscles.
Moreover, it's scientifically based: the 'muscles' are large where they need to be to ensure explosiveness and power; the 'meridians' are strong where they need to be to ensure flexibility and resilience...
"My body and genes did receive an amplification due to the source energy. But this amplification was unconscious, and there is still a lot of potential that has not yet been developed."
"And unblocking the meridians is actually the process of maximizing the body's potential... making the muscles and meridians stronger, so that they can withstand the impact of stronger source energy and power..."
Qin Fang looked at it carefully.
"The technique is a combination of source energy and muscles. The stronger the muscle explosive power, the stronger and more resilient the meridians, and naturally the stronger and more lasting the explosive power will be... That's true. Although I have mastered the first level, and theoretically the first level has no cooldown."
"But in reality, I can only use it twice in a row at most before my muscles become unbearably sore, my meridians ache, and most of my energy is depleted..."
"It's because the physical strength and meridian strength are insufficient."
"My source energy has increased tenfold, but the strength of my body and meridians has only increased by a limited amount."
"To fully unleash its combat potential, it is indeed necessary to further strengthen the meridians and muscles..."
"And this is also a prerequisite for mastering the second level of the Nine Slashes of Xunfeng..."
...
Even if you have the right mindset, it's useless if your body can't handle the burst of energy in that instant.
Because if you use it, you might 'explode' yourself first.
"Of the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians, the most fundamental and important are the Ren and Du meridians. These two connect the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians, and are the first to be strengthened. Only when these two meridians are strong enough can strengthening the other meridians be much more effective..."
Qin Fang carefully examined the manual, paying close attention to the nourishing methods.
"Let's start with the Ren meridian."
He made his decision, closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to circulate his source energy.
Instantly, the source energy within the body began to be mobilized and slowly flowed into the 'Ren Meridian'.
"The eight extraordinary meridians require resilience. The muscles in this area also need to be as resilient as possible to ensure that a large amount of source energy can flow through the body without causing injury, thus maintaining flexibility..."
The eight extraordinary meridians are the Ren meridian, Du meridian, Chong meridian, Dai meridian, Yang Wei meridian, Yin Wei meridian, Yang Qiao meridian, Yin Qiao meridian...
These eight meridians are like eight highways in the human body. For ordinary people, if these eight meridians are unobstructed, it can promote blood circulation, improve health, and enhance immunity.
For practitioners, these eight meridians are equally important.
These are the eight main roads, which can be used to gather the energy army.
The stronger the natural resilience, the better, so that more troops can pass through...
The first hurdle to overcome... is 'Guan Yuan'!
The source energy in the lower layer of the dantian surged into the 'Guanyuan' point...
Almost instantly, Qin Fang felt a sharp pain.
...The newly generated source energy is ten times stronger than before. The dantian was expanded in the process, but the other acupoints were not strengthened.
Qin Fang began cautiously, channeling his source energy to tear at Guan Yuan... wounding him without breaking him, then nourishing him with the source energy...
This is a slow and meticulous process that requires undivided attention.
Time flows slowly but steadily...
...
In the blink of an eye, a day has passed.
A prompt will appear on the panel.
Qin Fang let out a long breath and opened his eyes.
There was some fatigue in her eyes.
"No wonder it's impossible to perform tearing, nurturing, and expansion when there's only one unit... These processes all require a lot of source energy."
"Although we currently have 10 units of source energy, because the meridians are very fragile, the amount of source energy that can participate in the 'meridian clearing' process at one time is limited, only about three or four units..."
He looked down...
"Six hours, and I've only barely strengthened six acupoints... This meridian opening technique is really difficult to cultivate..."
He frowned.
These acupoints and meridians require cultivation. Strength and resilience complement each other. Unblocking the meridians means strengthening all these meridians and acupoints.
Only in this way can the smooth operation of the energy source be guaranteed.
This process requires a large amount of energy.
He is currently practicing the 'Advanced Source Energy Cultivation Method' and has 10 units of source energy.
However, because the meridians are too fragile, it is impossible to infuse too much source energy at once.
This has hampered progress.
There are more than 700 acupoints in the human body, but fortunately... only 108 key acupoints really need to be strengthened.
Other than those related to cultivation secret techniques, there is generally no need to specifically strengthen them, and they will not affect combat power.
These 108 acupoints are distributed throughout the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians.
By combining different muscle stimulation methods, we can ensure optimal body shape...
For example, if you want to build a large physique, you can roughly tear muscle fibers and forcefully and quickly repair them with source energy to strengthen muscles.
To achieve flexibility, you need to slowly tear the muscles while maintaining stretch throughout the process... ensuring that the newly formed muscles are 'long' and 'resilient,' rather than simply 'large'...
It's very complicated.
Fortunately, this manual on clearing the meridians describes things in great detail.
This pertains to muscles.
Even more mysterious are the acupoints related to energy sources.
The Ren meridian, one of the two most important meridians, has a total of twenty-four acupoints, which require cultivation.
I can't believe they only fixed six today...
"Looks like I'll have to put in some hard work from now on."
Qin Fang thought to himself.
Then he sensed his body.
Yes, although the Ren meridian is not fully repaired, I can definitely feel that the strengthened Ren meridian, even though it is not completely 'completed', has a much smoother flow of source energy.
A hint of anticipation flickered in Qin Fang's eyes...
If I can fully cultivate my meridians, I estimate that my combat power will increase significantly.
He glanced at the panel one last time before disappearing into the Upside-Down Cloud Realm.
...
In the time that followed, Qin Fang devoted himself entirely to the cultivation of opening his meridians.
Finally, on the third day, he completed the cultivation of the Ren meridian.
At the same time he successfully cultivated the Ren Meridian, the section on his panel showing his true cultivation level changed.
[True Cultivation Level: Open Source Realm (True Realm Perfection) Unblocked Meridians (One Meridian)]
This made Qin Fang blink.
He entered the Meridian Opening Channel, but the description of the first "Open Source Realm" was not covered.
After thinking about it carefully, Qin Fang narrowed his eyes.
That seems... to make sense.
It is obvious that 'open source' and 'network' are not in a hierarchical relationship, but rather in a parallel one.
'Open source' refers to 'the quantity of energy sources'.
'Unblocking the meridians' refers to the 'strength of the meridians'.
These are two completely different things.
...That's true. Old Rabbit never said that the first stage of cultivation was the 'Open Source Stage' and the second stage was the 'Pulse Opening Stage'.
He simply said... he could now 'open his meridians if he wanted to'.
"These two things can obviously be done in parallel... If we can get the 'advanced reward' later, can we continue to pursue them side by side?"
He had a guess in his mind.
But he quickly shook his head.
Never mind, continuing my cultivation is what's important.
As soon as he completed the cultivation of the 'Ren Meridian', Qin Fang immediately felt the difference.
As one of the "military paths" that the "Source Energy Army" passes through most often, the Ren Meridian used to cause a stinging sensation when walking through it after the Source Energy Army grew stronger, which made Qin Fang have to be very careful.
But now, with the Ren meridian's strength greatly enhanced, the stinging sensation has completely disappeared, replaced by a warm and comfortable feeling!
His choice to strengthen the Ren meridian first was clearly the right one.
For example, it took him three days to complete the strengthening of the twenty-four acupoints on the Ren meridian.
But he only used the twenty-eight acupoints of the Du Meridian in two days!
Efficiency has been greatly improved.
With the strengthening of his Du Meridian completed, his speed increased once again.
On the fifth day, he successfully cultivated the Chong Meridian and the Dai Meridian, a total of eighteen acupoints.
On the sixth day, he successfully cultivated the Yangwei and Yinwei meridians.
The seventh day...
By the eighth day.
He has fully strengthened all eight extraordinary meridians!
Then, Qin Fang began the twelve serious enhancements.
The improvement brought about by strengthening the twelve meridians is obvious.
Because once completed, the energy output capacity will increase significantly by several levels!
The twelve meridians, on the other hand, require both 'strength' and 'resilience'.
Only in this way can there be enough explosive power!
Day 9, Day 10, Day 11...
...
In the blink of an eye, only five days remain in the month-long period.
Qin Fang has finally completed the first round of 'meridian opening'!
And then look at the panel description...
[True Cultivation Level: Open Source Realm (True Realm Perfection), Meridian Opening Realm (First Transformation Perfection)]
Today, before the final twelve meridians have been fully cultivated, this meridian is still described as 'unblocking the meridians' (19 meridians).
In the instant it was completed, it transformed into the current 'Meridian Clearing Realm (First Stage Perfection)'...
If there's one advancement, then there's obviously a second...
Qin Fang's eyes flickered.
Five more days until the actual practice begins.
And now, his Xunfeng Nine Slashes are only at the first level.
Now, you can begin the second level of cultivation!
Thinking of this, a long sword appeared in his hand.
The next moment, the blade in his hand flashed brightly, and within a second, he unleashed four slashes!
His eyes were bright.
"Unblocking the meridians not only strengthens the meridians... but also strengthens the muscles. Now, I can also make four slashes in a second."
"So the first level is..."
With a thought, his energy and muscles synchronized in a unique rhythm.
In an instant, strange ripples and amplitudes appeared on the long sword in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Twelve blade beams were unleashed in an instant!
A smile appeared on his face...
Yesterday, he could only make nine cuts.
Today, that's twelve cuts!
Don't underestimate those three extra slashes... they mean the skill's damage multiplier has increased from nine times to twelve times...
And it has no cooling!
...Of course, this is on the premise that his muscles and meridians can withstand such high-frequency bursts.
...The burst of the Xunfeng Nine Slashes puts a great strain on the body.
He is now...
He took a moment to feel it.
"I managed five consecutive bursts, barely..."
He was thinking to himself.
It's been upgraded three times!
Although it was only three times, the intensity was on a completely different level.
The completion of the Twelve Meridians has greatly improved his speed and explosiveness!
"Five days left... Let's try to complete the second level within these five days!"
He was thinking to himself.
Then, after a long absence, he began to wield his knife...
...
Five days.
Fleeting.
"Qin Fang, Qin Fang... Grandma Village Chief wants you to go to his place!"
After Qin Fang left the Inverted Cloud Mirror, a group of little rabbits had been waiting for a long time.
Qin Fang took a deep breath, smiled and nodded, thanked them, patted the heads of the little rabbits that brought the news, and headed towards the village chief's house.
The village chief had been waiting for a long time.
"A month has passed. It's time for your first test. While this first test isn't the final assessment, it will determine your basic evaluation... Do your best. Opportunities like this don't come often."
The village chief, his cloudy eyes scanning Qin Fang up and down, spoke slowly.
Qin Fang perked up upon hearing this and nodded.
