After resting for a while, Zhang Yuan swallowed the second Meridian Opening Pill. Then, he used his mind to guide the spiritual energy of the Meridian Opening Pill to the Futu acupoint on his thigh to open the body's acupoints.
With his mind guiding the spiritual energy, he continuously washed over the Futu acupoint. After about half an hour of this, the Futu acupoint was opened.
Then, the Futu Acupoint began to absorb the remaining spiritual energy of the Meridian Opening Pill, storing it within the acupoint. Each acupoint was like a miniature dantian, capable of slowly absorbing spiritual energy.
After absorbing spiritual energy for about ten minutes, the absorption rate of the Futu acupoint slowed down, indicating that it had reached saturation. Zhang Yuan then guided the remaining spiritual energy to the second acupoint on his leg, the Yanglingquan acupoint, and continued to flush and open the second acupoint.
Opening acupoints requires the soul to control and guide true qi, which consumes a lot of the soul. Because Zhang Yuan often refines pills, his soul is stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. However, after opening the first Futu acupoint, his soul was already a bit tired when he opened Yanglingquan.
After exhausting the remaining spiritual energy of the Meridian Opening Pill, Yang Lingquan did not open the spring, but a small opening had been created.
Zhang Yuan finished opening the acupoints.
Then, practice meditation to nourish the spirit and repair the damage to the soul.
For the next two days, Zhang Yuan focused on activating the acupoints on both his left and right legs.
The Futu acupoint on the thigh and the Yanglingquan acupoint on the calf—four acupoints on both legs—were all activated on the fourth day using three Tongmai Pills.
Zhang Yuan's leg strength has improved significantly!

Late at night, outside the gate of Tongcheng University.
Zhang Yuan, dressed in only a single layer of clothing, stood on the side of the road.
Behind him, several buses were neatly parked in the small square in front of the school, waiting for the arrival of the next morning.
After leaving the school gate and confirming that the security cameras couldn't capture him, Zhang Yuan looked around again to make sure no one was nearby, then used his Qingyun Step to run wildly down the road.
Under the moonlight, a phantom flashed by on the road.
As Zhang Yuan ran, he performed difficult moves such as dodging left and right, somersaulting upwards, and somersaulting backwards, like a superhero running through the night.
After the four acupoints in his legs were activated, his speed increased by a significant amount!
In just ten minutes, I ran several kilometers in one go, and I still felt like I hadn't run enough.
I felt no fatigue in my body or legs.
During running, the Yongquan, Yanglingquan, and Futu acupoints continuously release vital energy to nourish and provide strength support.
Zhang Yuan was very satisfied and stopped his run.
With his full power unleashed, his movement speed is now comparable to that of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. If he encounters a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator in the future, even if he can't defeat them, he can still run away!
Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment, then used his movement technique again to return to the school.
Once a cultivator reaches a certain level of cultivation, they become energetic and have a very low need for sleep.
Xia Changqing walked along the road, stopping and starting, holding the golden compass.
He searched the entire area but couldn't find any clues about the young man who stole the Spirit Turtle Armor and the Moon Sword.
"That's strange. Could there be something wrong with my compass?"
Xia Changqing tapped and struck the compass, and the needle slowly rotated in the center of the compass.
Suddenly, the compass needle began to spin violently and then stopped in the southeast direction. Xia Changqing looked in the direction the compass was pointing and saw a figure flying past on the road in the distance, heading towards the other side of the road!
Xia Changqing was immediately invigorated.
"You little rascal, I've finally found you! You've been hiding well!"
Xia Changqing ran off in the direction the dark figure had gone.
A few minutes later, Xia Changqing stopped on the quiet, dark road, panting heavily.
"Damn it, how can he run so fast!"
"Why can't I catch up with a junior cultivator at the Meridian Opening Realm!"
"No reason!"
Xia Changqing was extremely frustrated, as he had ultimately lost track of them.
"Fine, at least I know that brat should be around here, and my compass isn't broken!"
Just wait, one day I'll find you out!
Xia Changqing watched Zhang Yuan's disappearing figure, spoke slowly, and then his figure flickered and disappeared into the night.
Time flies!
The second semester of my freshman year is already halfway over.
On the third floor of the Rongxia Courtyard, Zhang Yuan's dormitory door was tightly shut. Outside, the sun shone brightly; the light rain that had fallen for two days after the Qingming Festival had stopped today.
The air at school was filled with joy on weekends.
At 9 a.m., while most students were still sleeping in their dorm rooms, Zhang Yuan had already been busy in the dorm for a long time.
In the four corners of the dormitory hall, there was a small piece of red crystal stone. Zhang Yuan kept adjusting the position and direction of the red crystal stones, using his divine soul to connect the red crystal stones.
Then return to the center of the hall and feel the changes in the spiritual energy within it.
"Damn, there's not even any spiritual energy in it!"
Zhang Yuan cursed and swore.
Clearly, the spirit-gathering formation has failed once again!
These past few days, Zhang Yuan has been using the Crimson Crystal Stone to study how to set up a Spirit Gathering Array. However, the array on the Spirit Turtle Armor, which looks simple, is not so easy to set up in practice.
Zhang Yuan tried many times, but never succeeded.
Of the five types of formations recorded on the Spirit Turtle Armor, only the simple attack formation and the spirit gathering formation can be learned so far. However, the attack formation requires three magical artifacts, and Zhang Yuan only has a Moon Sword, which is not enough to set it up. Therefore, he turned to study the spirit gathering formation first.
Setting up a spirit-gathering array requires red crystal stones. These stones are placed at specific angles and orientations, and then the divine soul is used to communicate with the heavens and earth, mountains and rivers, connecting them with the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers, thereby attracting spiritual energy from the heavens and earth and mountains and rivers, and increasing the concentration of spiritual energy within the array.
Zhang Yuan brought out several pieces of red crystal from the ruins, which were perfect for studying the spirit-gathering array.
However, connecting the red crystal stone with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is a skill. The placement and angle of the red crystal stone are very important. Even the slightest mistake will prevent the formation from connecting with the outside world.
Moreover, each time the formation connects with the heavens and earth, it consumes a great deal of spiritual energy and mental strength.
Zhang Yuan failed three times in one morning, and a slight stinging pain came from his soul.
He rubbed his temples, put the red crystal back into his storage bag, and walked out of the dormitory.
A gentle breeze caressed his face as Zhang Yuan sat in a rocking chair, swaying back and forth with it.
The Shiba Inu Wangcai and the crow Xiaohei were playing happily on the third-floor balcony. When they saw Zhang Yuan arrive, Wangcai grinned and ran to Zhang Yuan's feet, rubbing against him affectionately.
Little Black landed to one side, tilted its head to look at Zhang Yuan, and then chirped away.
Jumping around on the balcony.
Zhang Yuan was in a good mood today. He took out two pieces of tiger demon meat from his Qiankun bag and threw them on the balcony.
Wangcai and Xiaohei happily ran towards the meat and started eating.
Since Wangcai and Xiaohei stole Zhang Yuan's pills and were fed with the flesh of python and tiger demons by Zhang Yuan, they have become increasingly handsome. Not only have their bodies become stronger, but there are also wisps of spiritual energy flowing through their bodies. Their intelligence is also more advanced than that of ordinary animals. They are clearly no longer ordinary Shiba Inu and crows.
If these two were to unleash their full power, their destructive force would be no less than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Zhang Yuan is now also very interested in these two little guys.
If we keep feeding them like this, will these two little guys turn into spirit beasts in the future?
Or perhaps they are simply a weaker version of the demon race?
After Wangcai and Xiaohei finished eating the tiger demon meat, they came over to play with Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan ignored them, so the two little guys played on the balcony by themselves.
Zhang Yuan lay in the rocking chair, basking in the warm sun, and fell asleep without realizing it.

Outside the courtyard, the student street was already bustling with activity at this time of day.
Students were there for dates, outings, shopping, and morning tea.
On the street, an old man was holding a golden compass, searching and looking around.
He was dressed in a gray robe, thin, and unshaven, making him stand out from the others on the street.
The old man walked to a corner, stopped, and the golden compass in his hand began to spin violently again, then pointed in a certain direction on the street.
Xia Changqing looked in the direction of the pointer and saw a small courtyard with a mottled wall at the end of the alley. There was a banyan tree in the courtyard with lush branches and leaves. On the third-floor balcony next to the banyan tree, a young man was lying in a rocking chair, fast asleep!
"Finally found you!"
A murderous intent suddenly spread from the street.
