199 BLESSING OF ANCESTORS-“Given you can connect and establish the Yin-Yang law, you can go ahead and practice the various scriptures within the valley’s book vault.”

“Doesn’t ancestor have some powerful art within his memory?” Lu Ming wanted to gain more benefits from the founder. One doesn’t get to meet a powerful expert every day.

“Don’t dream of cooking eggs which have not yet hatched. With every passing day, the amount of energy within your body would keep increasing. You would need to keep suppressing your energy to not break-through the Qi King level. If you weren’t able to even reach the pinnacle of the ‘circle of Tao’, you can forget about connecting to the Yin-Yang law.”

“Even if you do reach the pinnacle, there is no guarantee that you would be able to establish the Yin-Yang law. Hence giving you techniques is out of the question as of now?”

“However, if you can make a connection, I might get you a gift in the future.”

“I don’t believe I will have the opportunity to meet my ancestors again in the future.” It was out of pure luck that Lu Ming was able to pass all the tests laid within the lamps. How could he let this chance go for some promise which might never come into fruition?

“Don’t be rash in drawing a conclusion boy. Let me finish my part and if you are still unsatisfied, you could begin complaining.”

“The path was my first gift to you for passing the trial laid in here. Now for the second part of the path, which refers to the circulation of the combined Qi, you need to strengthen your Qi pathways for that. The best way to strengthen them is to forcefully circulate the Qi, but I fear it would lead to permanent damage to your Qi channels.”

“Here is where the benefits of being an alchemist show itself. You could use pills that can help strengthen the meridians within your body. There is a specific recipe which could help you synthesize a tonic which can help in strengthening the meridians.”

.....

The man once again transmitted some information to Lu Ming. “These three recipes relate to three types of Pill. These three pills refer to the three stages on which they are effective. It goes all the way up to the emperor level. I don’t have a meridian strengthening pill recipe beyond the emperor’s level, but they do exist. You need to depend on your luck to find them.”

“This is the second gift for passing the trials. I gave you a pill recipe of three tiers because I believe you can merge even more types of energy in the future. The greater the number of energies, the more would be a burden on the channels. So, use them wisely. You are not allowed to share the recipe with anybody, but you may share the concocted pills.”

“Another way is to walk further within the path of body cultivation.” Lu Ming’s interest was instantly aroused. When the ancestor said body cultivation, he must be talking about something beyond the acupoints level.

“The next gift of mine is more of a knowledge which might help you in future cultivation. Practitioners often neglect the importance of body cultivation. As it turns out it is also the reason many people fail to advance to a higher level. It is because, although their QI cultivation is ample, their body is subpar.”

“Even I wasn’t able to go beyond the acupoint level with my body cultivation. I do know what the next step is. According to the ancient scriptures, I managed to get my hands on, 5 levels are known to me.”

“The first level is the meridians within one’s body. There are three categories mainly referring to primary, secondary, and tertiary. You must have already felt the phenomena, but once one can open all the primary meridians, a person can sense the existence of acupoints.”

“This is exactly where fate tries to play with a cultivator’s mindset. One can choose to open the meridians, or directly open the acupoints. When a person’s heart is impatient, they would try to open the acupoints instantly after opening all their primary meridians, but this path is wrong.”

“If my research did get any results, it was the fact that the number of acupoints one can open in his whole life depends on the number of meridians they opened. I was rash in the younger part of my life and hence was only able to open around 20 of the 108 tertiary meridians. That limited my future to only 200 acupoints in my whole life.”

“My failure yielded a specific fact, that when you try to walk two paths simultaneously when they are supposed to be done in a particular way, the result obtained is always faulty. If one concentrates on opening acupoints, one would find it more and more difficult to open meridians thereafter.”

“You waked the correct path by first opening all the medians within your body. You should be able to open all the acupoints too. I don’t know the exact limit, but once you do open all the acupoints, you should be able to sense the Qi channels, without even using your Qi. It is the point which marks the end of the second part of body cultivation.”

‘The next part is called the Tempering of Qi channel, with the help of external agents. The expansion you have experienced so far is through internal occurrences. Once you open all the acupoints, you should be able to sense the external structure of your Qi channels. That’s when you can start tempering them.”

“My third gift is an art which could help you with the tempering part.” Another art was transmitted to Lu Ming. This was the fourth art he gained after entering this space. He couldn’t start to describe the amount of excitement he was feeling. The gains this time were tremendous.

“The opening of acupoints is a necessity to reach the next stage. You should first concentrate on this part. You already have the art necessary to help you open the acupoints.”

“Is ancestor referring to the weird practice stance which I gained earlier?”

“The practice stance is called ‘the breath of the dragon’. It is not only a perfect breathing and Qi circulation technique, but it even helps in identifying the acupoints. The best way to do it is by circulating various elemental energies with the help of this art. Start with fire, then jump to other elements and even weapon aura.”

“I hope you can reach the next level.”
