Martial Research Master

Chapter 36: FINDING THE ACUPOINTS, OPENING THE SECONDARY MERIDIANS

Long Tao agreed and summoned his clones out. There were 6 of them.

Although he had three more avatars of himself, he didn’t bring them out this time, because as per the analysis of the Keeper, the artifact would require the rest energy for mending itself.

Long Tao put up the artifact first into the pool. The device needs to be mended first. He was content as long as he managed to open some acupoint s and meridians in either of the body.

But for the treasure, it is a resource that could mend it. Hence, he had to take the chance.

...........................

As expected by Long Tao, the will was shocked by the sight of 7 avatars standing.

” I didn’t expect you to have seven avatars. Go ahead and start practicing the body cultivation.”

.....

“You seem to have idea about the pathways to acupoints and some secondary meridians beforehand.”

A new set of scripture was passed to Long Tao. There were accurate drawings of skeletal, meridian structure, and acupoints of human beings.

” This is the compilations of the pathways known to me after practicing multiple body cultivation art and my research. But even then, I was only able to find 100 secondary meridians and 30 acupoints in my life.”

“Even if you are not able to inherit my legacy here, I expect you to practice this pathway and continue your research, finding new meridians and acupoints.”

Long Tao held the scripture with care. It was an essential piece of cultivation manuscript. Even the weapon tempering formula didn’t mention so many acupoints, at least not until now.

“You should start the cultivation boy. I will be observing you. If you manage to come up to my basic requirement level, you will receive a fortune you will never forget.”

Long Tao proceeded into the pond, and the liquid started seeping automatically into his body. Out of the seven silhouettes, three were devoted to searching the acupoints, and four were divided to the barge and search for the secondary meridians.

According to the formula, Long Tao soon arrived near the 1st secondary meridian and started barging in it. Soon the first acupoint was found.

Long Tao didn’t know the requirements of becoming the inheritor of whatever the will wants him to inherit, but he didn’t want to give up on a chance that would let him pick a significant pace in the body cultivation path.

........................

In the crimson lord world-

Long Tao was currently talking with the Keeper.

” Do you have anything to say? About how the person got to know about this technique or he knew about the presence of a treasure that can help me summon the avatars.”

The Keeper replied in a calm voice: ” The voice you heard is a remnant will.”

“As per it knows, its real body has quite great a cultivation base, to enable him to have such knowledge. Also, he doesn’t know about the Crimson lord world.”

“You should take the opportunity provided to you thoughtfully, boy. The world you are currently cultivating in runs in a 1:6 ratio time. It is a massive benefit to you if you ask me. ”

...............................

Finally, he reached the 8th level Qi child realm peak, only a step away from breaking through the 9th level.

Long Tao persisted on his belief and decided to level up the realm only after reaching the maximum level of all the art he has in this particular realm.

But he also couldn’t have a significant difference between the cultivation of the avatars (Like a difference of a whole realm). It might result in backflow of energy and him being forced back, rather than him moving forward in the area of cultivation.

Hence, he couldn’t take chances.

...............................

Long Mengchen was currently sitting, legs-crossing at her training spot. She was absorbing energy to have a breakthrough in the Qi master realm. It was the only way she could defeat Long Tao.

If one wanted to break through the Qi master realm, they have to create a Qi sea.

Qi child realm required the body to get accommodated with Qi and then use it to store Qi and utilize it.

After stepping into Qi master, there will be a Qi sea created by the practitioner in their bodies that will work as a storage medium for the Qi. It was the next step, the establishment of the Qi sea.

Long Mengchen was long since assimilating energy from before she participated in the competition. The size of the Qi sea determined the potential, talent, and future of the martial artist except for their apparent fighting power.

Hence, the martial artist would train harder and harder and break their Qi sea multiple times, to create a good Qi sea over a long period.

Long Mengchen was doing it too, and now the power has come to a saturation level, which meant she had neared the perfection level of Qi sea for her body.

“I will defeat you for sure this time, Big brother.”

..............................

Long Tao was busy barging into the meridian and acupoints, according to the diagram present in ‘Hell-forger’ art.

The major problem while opening any meridian was to locate it first. Only after one can identify his/her meridian can they proceed further.

The next step is barging into the blockage, hindering the meridians, and successfully entering the blockage.

The next step was to cleanse the meridian with Qi and blood and then temper it with a continuous circulation of Qi through it. It takes a large number of circulations to bring the level of the opened meridian to the level of the present meridians.

...................................................

Once it finally reached the level, can a meridian be said to have successfully opened? This process was not only long in terms of time consumed, but also very painful during the opening and the tempering part.

The opening of acupoint required the same practice as the meridians. The only difference has been that the after-work was even longer than that of the meridian.

The reason for this was the fact that meridians work as a channel for the flow of Qi, but acupoints work as storage areas for both blood energy and Qi.

Hence after the tempering of each opened acupoint, continuous filling and expenditure of blood energy and Qi are needed to be done before reaching the saturation capacity for that acupoint.

One can conclude from this, as to how tedious and lengthy the process is going to be.

.....................................................................

Long Tao finally managed to open up a secondary meridian and the acupoint in the center of the right palm successfully. He started the tempering part instantly and continued the process to the end.

Although Long Tao wanted to research on the power output and the percentage growth he had achieved over the opening, he knew that now was not the best time to indulge in his regular habits of studying each improvement and change in the minute level.

He only had one month until the sanctioned period is over. He wanted to open as many pieces as possible.

.......................................................

“This boy brings a light of hope to me. Let’s see how much he can improve before the energy here is consumed completely.”

“If he can complete this phase and bear what comes next, my objective will finally be achieved. The will of the dragons needs to remain burning forever.”

The voice was talking to himself silently. Unknown to all this, Long Tao was still sitting in the training position and practicing.

Outside the forbidden zone-

Jiao Sheng was consulting with various elders of his clan about the activities in the royal grounds, regarding the three youngsters that had gathered.

“Reporting to majesty, Long Mengchen had caused a commotion in the period between, what the upper echelon said to be, the awakening of the bloodline.”

” The elder said that we are not interfering in the activities of this child. Her origin seems to be extraordinary. The elders ask his majesty to build good relations with her. “.

Jiao Sheng silently comprehended. “What about the other two.”

” There is a continuous absorbing of the ancient Qi in both the regions, and they seem to be improving at an incredible pace too. There is a high chance that both of them will reach the peak of the Qi child realm soon. ”

Jiao Sheng asked,” I am happy about Di Tao since he is going to join the military academy, but what about Long Tao. He is going to join the north-eastern frontier; you know that is the only part we have no control over right.”

” even if you don’t have full control, that still is on our side at the end. Hence, he is a member of our camp.”

“On top of that, a very talented and important member. He can prove to be a great asset if the right conditions and situations are laid down.”

Jiao Sheng nodded.
