The semen dripped into the scroll.
Immediately, a faceless phantom appeared above, and then facial features emerged, revealing that it was none other than Yang Silang.
Yang Silang suddenly became a little distracted.
He looked up at the roof and sure enough, there was a round stone there.
It was larger and brighter than the round stones in the rooms of the Wujing Pagoda in Jiangdong Province, but that was all.
There must be stone demons patrolling the rooms in this Martial Arts Tower, just like Granny Tianjing.
Pity.
The capital city is a major city with a frightening number of rules.
The stone demon in the Martial Arts Tower must not be as carefree as Granny Tianjing, who can eat wine, drink meat, and slack off.
This high-ranking prisoner has been in prison for hundreds of years.
My aunt didn't bring her today, otherwise we might have been able to recognize each other if she had taken her out.
I don't know when it will develop sentience and become able to communicate with me.
Remembering what Grandpa Chun said about his aunt having regained her ancestral bloodline and possessing the bloodline of the Mysterious Crystal Stone Demon, he realized it must be related to the bit of ancestral blood essence he had gifted her.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how far it can grow in the future.
Knowing that his every move was being watched by the stone demon inspector, Yang Silang took a deep breath, cleared his mind of all distractions, and began to focus on the scroll.
In the scroll.
The illusory figure began to slowly exert its power, and strands of true energy emanated from the vortex of liquid true energy in its lower dantian.
It runs through five meridians: the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, and the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian.
At this stage, it's no different from the Five Elements Force.
However, the next moment, more true energy continued to surge out, beginning to flow into new meridians.
These are the metal-related Yangming Large Intestine Meridian.
Earth belongs to the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming.
Fire belongs to the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, and the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian.
Water belongs to the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian
Wood belongs to the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian.
After passing through the twelve meridians, the true qi returns to the dantian, and the liquid true qi grows much larger.
Such cultivation of true qi yields significant progress, but it is also exceptionally difficult.
To cultivate the new seven meridian pathways, one must open up all the acupoints along the way.
On the surface, it appears that the original Qi flowed through five meridians, but now it has changed to twelve meridians, with only seven new routes added. The original five routes were already familiar to everyone.
It seems that the difficulty has only increased by a little over double.
That's not the case at all.
With each additional meridian, the flow of vital energy must be considered in conjunction with the original meridians, ensuring harmony between the five elements.
Moreover, the true qi originates from the dantian and, because it travels through the twelve meridians, its circulation order is different from that of the original five meridians.
The foundation laid by the Five Elements Power is simply to open up all the original five meridians and acupoints.
Aside from that, it didn't help much.
The increase in difficulty is not just a matter of multiples, but rather several times or even ten times more difficult.
No wonder that even though this technique allows for free transformation of the five elements and the true energy is several times stronger than that of ordinary people, very few people still practice it.
This requirement is simply too difficult.
The ability to multitask is the most basic entry-level skill.
Yang Silang sat in front of the scroll for several hours at a time.
In my mind.
The soul in the Niwan Palace was operating at full capacity. The soul body was originally a hazy, ethereal ball of light, which was just in the shape of a human body, but it did not have dantian or meridians in its body.
Fortunately, Yang Silang's soul power has greatly increased. With a thought, the twelve meridians and dantian began to appear in his soul body, and even the acupoints on the meridians were visualized.
As a martial artist, I am already very familiar with these things and would never make a mistake in remembering them.
After completing the construction of meridians within the soul body, Yang Silang made minor adjustments to ensure it was perfectly integrated with the physical body.
The next moment, a surge of true energy emerged from that "dantian" and began to circulate along the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, simulating the path of true energy circulation.
This is the benefit of Taoist cultivation: one can use the Dharma body to replace the true body for simulation.
Of course, no matter how realistic the simulation is, it can't compare to the circulation of true qi in the meridians in reality.
Moreover, the dantian here is fake, as is the true qi. It merely circulates in vain as it travels through the meridians, and it does not nourish the body at all.
However, by repeatedly memorizing and familiarizing oneself with the meridian routes, countless hours can be saved, and there is no need to worry about the true qi going astray and causing backlash on the meridians.
By simulating the flow of true qi with one's soul and body, repeating it countless times until it becomes an instinct, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort when it is actually used.
He repeatedly circulated the twelve meridian routes with his divine soul countless times, finally memorizing them completely.
Oh...
Yang Silang opened his eyes, a hint of weariness flashing in them.
"Rejuvenation!"
He immediately used his supernatural powers, and in the blink of an eye, most of his fatigue disappeared.
However, only half of the techniques were demonstrated in the scroll.
Yang Silang rested for a while, calmed down, and then watched the demonstration of the second half of the scroll.
After all twelve meridians are mastered, there are other pathways that involve the principle of mutual generation of the five elements.
The concept of mutual generation does not refer to "who generates whom," but rather to the relationship between elements that promote, nourish, help, and nurture each other.
If a small amount of true qi first flows through the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian (belonging to the Wood element) and the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, and then flows into the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian (belonging to the Fire element), combined with a large amount of fire-related true qi, the final burst of fire-related true qi can be greatly strengthened.
Based on the principle of mutual generation of the five elements, wood, fire, earth, metal, water, and wood in that order, when facing an enemy, one can instantly unleash a burst of energy far exceeding normal energy using the method of mutual generation of true qi.
It can be using fire to assist earth, or earth to assist metal; the application is ingenious.
It depends on one's mind.
The complete Five Elements Energy can actually be summarized in one sentence: the twelve meridians move in unison, and the five elements generate each other.
The former allows the total amount of true qi to expand at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, while the latter can guarantee the instantaneous release of excessive true qi damage when facing an enemy.
"It's enough to remember the first half of the Great Five Elements Force today."
"We'll learn about the five elements' mutual generation again tomorrow."
"As for the Great Five Elements Fist, there's no time to learn it. It seems I'll be able to serve at the Martial Arts Headquarters several times over."
Yang Silang got up and went to the bookshelf to look through the study records and notes left by his predecessors.
"I must be crazy to have chosen this cultivation method. I could tolerate cultivating five meridians back then, but after a year of cultivating twelve meridians, I'm still not proficient. I truly regret my decision!"
"Don't practice, don't practice. I became a grandmaster at twenty, and after ten years of wasting time, I finally mastered it. The genius boy has become middle-aged, and the progress of my fellow practitioners has far surpassed mine..."
"What genius lunatic came up with such a difficult technique? If the founding emperor had actually practiced this stuff, how would he have had time to conquer the world?"
"A message for future generations: If you enjoy facing challenges head-on, you can choose this method, which will guarantee to make things even more difficult and painful."
"Even if you master it, so what? In the end, you'll still have to switch to another method. Without subsequent Martial Saint realm techniques, your path will be cut off. Why cling to this crooked tree?"
"Even if all twelve meridians are open, comprehending the true meaning of the five elements is extremely difficult and will take a long time."
The numerous comments were almost entirely complaints.
Everyone persevered through the initial practice of the Five Elements Technique and eventually became a Grandmaster.
Little did anyone know that the Great Five Elements Pit was even larger, with all twelve meridians activating simultaneously, shattering the Dao hearts of countless people.
Even if one passes the Twelve Meridians Gate, a Grandmaster must cultivate the true meaning of the fist. The Great Five Elements Force has five attributes of true qi, and one must comprehend the true meaning of each one in order to be considered a true master of the Great Five Elements Force.
How difficult must that be?
Even a genius young master, defying all superstition, spent ten years with unparalleled perseverance to finally master the technique and break through to the Golden Marrow Grandmaster realm, becoming capable of fighting multiple opponents single-handedly.
However, his former peers, who once stood shoulder to shoulder with him, are now preparing to break through to the Martial Saint realm.
Yang Silang was not discouraged and did not intend to give up.
His inscription system, once proven, is eternally proven, and when combined with the Rejuvenation Divine Power, it can rapidly restore true energy and spirit.
This is most suitable for martial arts that are so intricate and detailed that a single misstep can lead to total defeat.
Moreover, once you get started, if you study diligently and persistently, you will definitely make rapid progress.
With his vast amount of true energy, the Great Five Elements Force could unleash a burst of divine power in battle, which Yang Silang suspected could even temporarily suppress several opponents of the same level.
As for the true meaning of the Five Elements Boxing Technique.
He now possesses the three elements of wood, water, and fire, and only lacks the two elemental fist intents to complete his skill.
Even if we can't find any more Martial Saint realm techniques in the future, we can still use the powerful true energy of the Great Five Elements Force, which far surpasses other techniques of the same realm, as a foundation.
No matter which cultivation method you switch to, you've gained something.
Of course, the premise of everything is "speed".
He must master this skill in a relatively short time; otherwise, it would be a waste if he were to take ten or eight years like his predecessors.
After fully considering the cause and effect and the consequences, Yang Silang left the room.
Once outside the tower gate, Zhou Mingxuan was already waiting there, looking quite excited, indicating that he had gained a lot today.
The two returned to the inn together.
Zhou Mingxuan even started chatting and laughing on the way.
Sure enough, he was still a martial artist at heart, and the sight of martial arts pleased him, which eased his worries about the wedding two days later.
Back at the inn.
Yang Silang first went to Wang Daniu's house to see how his aunt was doing.
When I left in the morning.
In the large iron pan.
The remnant of Chongshan and the Zixiao Thunder Copper Sword were both wrapped inside by the little aunt, as if sealed in transparent amber.
I've been walking for a day now.
On the iron plate.
The Purple Cloud Thunder Copper Sword had transformed into a ball of copper, occasionally crackling with dazzling lightning, marking the most significant change.
The broken seal of Chongshan was still in its broken state, but many of the cracks and marks on it had been covered by the Zixiao Thunder Copper Molten Liquid.
Furthermore, the runes on the surface of the seal appear to have been washed away, and have completely faded.
The thin, transparent, gelatinous substance that envelops the two of them is the little aunt, spread out like a pancake or a thin porridge.
I wonder if that scoundrel Chun is telling the truth?
My aunt really can repair this mark?
I dare not even think about restoring it to its original state; I would be content with just 30% or 40% of its power.
"Don't worry, Fourth Brother, I've been watching all day," Wang Daniu said from the side, "I didn't dare to blink."
Yang Silang nodded and told him to continue guarding the area and not to leave it for even a moment.
The next day.
An angel came to the inn to deliver a message, using ornate language.
But in reality, it was just a lavish praise of Zhou Mingxuan, saying that he was of good character and talent, and that he and the princess were a match made in heaven, a blessed union, and that the two should live in harmony and build a beautiful life together.
The person who arrived was the familiar Little Li, accompanied by a group of palace maids and guards.
Zhou Mingxuan hesitated for only a few moments before kneeling to accept the decree, and the matter was settled.
He, the future prince consort, will be very busy these next few days, learning etiquette and rules, and figuring out the princess's preferences, etc.
In short, Zhou Mingxuan was so busy that he barely had time to rest. From now on, his time and body no longer belonged to himself.
