"My only focus is on the points!"
Xie Zhou called out directly.
"Points? What points? What are points?"
Luo Fantian wore a wry smile; in just a short while, he had already sustained injuries.
"Huh? What points? Luo Fantian, are you stunned by my attack? I'm talking about power!"
Xie Zhou felt a pang of panic, but she couldn't slow down her hand speed in the slightest.
"Alright, alright, spare me! Your attacks are too fierce, I really can't withstand them!"
Luo Fantian smiled wryly as he frantically tried to fend off Xie Zhou's attacks.
"Hey! Did you let the water slide?!"
Xie Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"No, no, I absolutely didn't."
Luo Fantian quickly waved his hand.
"Alright, alright, let's call it a day for tonight."
Xie Zhou found it boring.
Luo Fantian could tell at a glance that he hadn't fought her properly, so this fight didn't count at all.
"Here, take this, since you've worked so hard tonight!"
Xie Zhou chuckled and handed a small green glass bottle to Luo Fantian.
"This is body tempering fluid. I finally managed to get it from my master. Here you go. Thank you for helping me make the contact."
After Xie Zhou finished speaking, he hurriedly returned to his room.
"Quick, quick, quick! My points!"
Xie Zhou hurriedly urged the system.
Little did Luo Fantian know that at this moment, his feelings for Xie Zhou had changed slightly.
"Host, due to your repeated beatings of Luo Fantian, resulting in multiple injuries to Luo Fantian, the points have been accumulated, and your remaining points are now 10,088."
The system's cold, impersonal voice simply announced the numbers.
"Yes! Quickly exchange a method for cultivating spiritual power for me!"
Xie Zhou kept urging the system on.
"Alright, alright, take it here!"
As soon as the system finished speaking, an ancient scroll, so simple and unadorned it could hardly be more ancient, was placed on Xie Zhou's bed.
"This fragment of a spiritual power manual was also cultivated by an unknown master. It is also the system's most precious treasure. Considering that you contributed 10,000 points, I'll give it to you."
"What the heck? The thing I bought with 10,000 points is just a fragment? Is that for real?"
Xie Zhou flipped through the half of the ancient book in his hand, and sure enough, the second half must have been torn off.
"In the midst of everyone's struggle, the second half was accidentally lost. This is the best mental power cultivation method you asked for. However, whether you can find the second half is up to you."
The system's response was very Zen-like.
"This...this is too much of a rip-off! There are actually things that the system can't get?"
Xie Zhou was somewhat unhappy, but he still picked up the ancient book.
"The Cultivation of Mental Power? Isn't the title of this book too plain?"
Xie Zhou sighed; it seemed like she wanted to return the item.
"Returning goods does not refund points, so please think carefully before you do so, host."
The system said with a chuckle.
"You... fine! You win!"
This old item is worth 10,000 points! No matter what, I can't let those 10,000 points go to waste!
"I'm not talking anymore! I'm going to cultivate! Is cultivating not enough?!"
Xie Zhou sat cross-legged, placing the ancient book in front of him.
"When practicing cultivation techniques, one should use an additional meridian? Isn't that a bit sloppy?"
Xie Zhou opened the book "The Method of Cultivating Mental Power" to the first page. The first chapter contained only one sentence and one picture.
The location of that meridian was vaguely depicted in the picture.
"It only requires traversing one more meridian during cultivation?"
This sounds easy enough, but Xie Zhou has only just begun his cultivation and is still quite far from the intermediate level. So, there's nothing wrong with giving this method a try.
With his eyes slightly closed, he sat cross-legged, his hands casually placed on his lap, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth swept over Xie Zhou.
That meridian is located in an unknown part of the human brain.
As the energy flowed into her body, Xie Zhou tried to use it to unblock the meridian, but intense pain shot through her mind.
"hiss!"
Instantly, Xie Zhou gripped her clothes tightly. The fact that she felt such pain as soon as the airflow entered could only mean that this meridian had never been opened and was rarely used in daily life.
It's like a piece of art that's been left unused and has become rusty and dusty.
At this moment, Xie Zhou had learned his lesson and began to control the flow of energy little by little, continuously channeling it into that small meridian.
Small quantities, but multiple times.
Xie Zhou came up with this method.
"That makes me feel much better."
But it still hurt, in waves of subtle pain, making Xie Zhou feel extremely uncomfortable.
Half an hour later, the sky was beginning to lighten.
"Thank you, Zhou! Thank you, Zhou! It's time to go. Hurry up and get ready; we're going to the Immortal Venerable's place."
Luo Fantian's voice could already be heard outside the door.
"Here it comes!" Xie Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a breath.
This small meridian is extremely short, but even after Xie Zhou used all his strength throughout the night, he only managed to open half of it.
"Brother Brahma, we've kept you waiting. Let's go now."
During the day, there is rigorous physical training.
"Through these days of training, your reaction speed and physical resistance have improved a lot, but it's still far from enough!"
But the place Lingfeng pointed to was a waterfall.
The sound of rushing water could be heard continuously.
"The training under the waterfall is just the beginning of your physical training."
“Come on, Xie Zhou, try to climb up using only your physical strength.”
Lingfeng then pointed to the top of the waterfall.
"Yes, Master."
Without saying a word, Xie Zhou rolled up his sleeves and started walking towards the waterfall.
"It's just climbing a mountain, what's so difficult about that?"
Xie Zhou chuckled. She used to be on the climbing team and was recognized for achieving first place.
"Here I come!"
Xie Zhou started running as he walked, grabbed a rock, and kicked it upwards.
The water kept splashing against Xie Zhou's head, and the water even got into his eyes, making it impossible for him to open them, not to mention the immense pressure he was under.
"oops!"
Xie Zhou slipped and fell into the water, losing his grip on the rock.
"Thank you, Zhou!"
Luo Fantian covered his eyes.
"This is what happens when someone is arrogant. Would I, as their teacher, let you try something so simple?"
Lingfeng's eyes, however, were icy cold.
"Help...help! I...I can't swim!"
Xie Zhou struggled in the water, but he just couldn't climb out.
"I'll do it!"
Luo Fantian was about to rush forward to save Xie Zhou, but Ling Feng stopped him.
"Gather your energy in your feet and control the power to rise!"
Ling Feng looked serious, and Luo Fantian, though anxious, was helpless.
Xie Zhou, who was choking on water, heard Ling Feng's words and quickly did as he was told.
