The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 097
Chapter 097 Da Tongqiao Acupoint
Li Qing felt the boundless True Qi in his body. He saw that his dantian was filled with True Qi, as vast as the sea and as deep as the abyss.
After cultivating to the tenth level of the Houtian realm, his dantian had already expanded to its limit, and he was unable to continue to increase his space. He could only continue to cultivate true energy and then fill his dantian. After reaching the Great Perfection Houtian realm, he would no longer be able to improve.
Of course, even though he couldn’t make any further progress at this realm, he could still continue cultivating. However, it wasn’t to increase the total amount of true energy, but to increase the depth of true energy, making it even more dense, pure, and condensed.
The thicker the true energy, the more powerful it would be.
Therefore, both of them were at the tenth level of the Houtian realm, and their strengths varied from strong to weak. Normally, the longer one cultivated, the deeper one’s zhenqi would become, and their strength would naturally become stronger.
After reaching the tenth level of the Houtian realm, he would be able to cultivate to the Perfection realm, and then he would be able to prepare for advancement to the Xiantian realm.
Li Qing exhaled a long breath, his chest surging, muttering to himself, “Xiantian, I’m coming!”
He continued to cultivate for a period of time, consolidating his cultivation before stopping. Although he hadn’t filled his dantian with zhenqi and hadn’t reached true perfection, this didn’t stop him from digging Tongqiao acupoints.
At this time, one could cultivate zhenqi while digging Tongqiao acupoints. The two did not conflict.
…
To break through to the Xiantian realm, one needed to open all the acupoints in one’s body to communicate with the heavens and earth. This was the most basic common sense.
Within the human body, there were a total of 360 Great Circular Apertures, as well as countless small apertures that were distributed throughout the human body. They were extremely precise. No wonder some people thought that the human body was the existence with the greatest potential in the world.
Actually, Xiao Qiao acupoints could also be opened, but no one would do that. It was because they didn’t even have time to open the Great Orifice Acupoint, let alone the Small Orifice Acupoint.
Xiao Qiao was more concealed and dangerous than Da Qiao.
Xiantian was divided into three grades, according to the number of acupoints used to open the apertures. They were 360 high-grade, 240 medium-grade, and 120 low-grade acupoints.
The third grade referred to here was the foundation of the Xiantian realm, and it was related to the potential of the future.
This was because when he broke through to the Xiantian realm, he would experience a baptism of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth would frantically pour into his body through his apertures and acupoints, washing his marrow and cutting his hair, improving his aptitude, and finally forging his Xiantian body.
A Xiantian body was the key!
There was only one chance to forge a Xiantian Physique in one’s life, which determined the foundation of the future. The more acupoints one opened, the more spiritual energy one could receive during the baptism of heaven and earth. The better the effect of improving one’s physical body, the more stable one’s foundation would naturally be.
Li Qing decided to try opening an aperture first to see how he felt. Thus, he took out the acupoint map of the human body that his master had bestowed on him.
This map was extremely precious and rarely circulated in the world. It was the key to reaching the Xiantian realm. If an ordinary person did not have such a plan, then he would have no way to cultivate and would have no way to break through to the Xiantian realm.
Among the great sects, the benefits were indeed very obvious.
On this map of acupoints, there were 360 acupoints around the body in detail. Beside each acupoint, there were detailed notes, methods and experiences of drilling Tongqiao acupoints, and so on. It was very useful.
Li Qing then took out a small porcelain bottle. The bottle contained the Aperture Opening Pill, which was used to assist in opening acupoints.
To quickly open so many acupoints, the Aperture Opening Pill was indispensable. Li Qing was already prepared for this moment.
The positions of apertures and acupoints in the human body are different, so the difficulty of opening them varies greatly. Some of the acupoints were extremely well-positioned and could be easily opened, so there was no need to worry about injuring oneself. Some acupoints were extremely dangerous, and a slight carelessness could endanger one’s life.
Li Qing looked at the map of acupoints in the human body and identified a relatively safe acupoint. This acupoint was located in his hand and was very easy to identify.
Li Qing carefully sensed it and very quickly found the location of the aperture point. Then, he circulated traces of true energy into the aperture point and began to polish it.
This speed was very slow. Li Qing estimated that it would take at least ten days to clear this aperture.
Fortunately, he had the Aperture Opening Pill, which could increase his speed. Thus, he opened the porcelain bottle, poured one into his heart, and immediately consumed it. After absorbing it, he felt a strange medicinal power circulating within his body.
Li Qing’s heart trembled. He hurriedly gathered the medicinal power and pulled it to the acupoint in his hand, injecting it bit by bit.
After these Orifice Opening Pills entered the acupoints, they slowly merged into them, causing them to undergo some strange changes and become easier to open.
Li Qing understood what was going on according to the experience of his predecessors. Without hesitation, he immediately used his True Qi to polish it. The speed of his aperture had indeed become much faster.
…
Three days later, after uninterrupted polishing with zhenqi, this aperture in his hand was finally opened.
“I’ve finally taken the first step to success!” Li Qing’s face couldn’t help but reveal a joyful expression.
Acupoints could also store true energy, but the space wasn’t that large. Although there weren’t many of them, they could still be considered pretty good, allowing them to increase their combat strength.
Moreover, in the future, there would be more and more acupoints opened, and the more they accumulated, the more True Qi they could store, almost comparable to half of their dantian.
“With the Aperture Opening Pill, it will still take three days to clear one aperture point. Then it will take a year to clear 120 apertures. It will still take a long time.” Li Qing calculated.
“Moreover, this is still under the condition of uninterrupted cultivation. Normally speaking, it is impossible for me to continuously polish my aperture points. It will only take longer!”
According to the records, the first 120 acupoints were relatively easy to open. With the Aperture Opening Pill, it wouldn’t take too long. It would only take one or two years.
Achieving low-grade Xiantian was not that difficult. As long as there were enough Orifice Opening Pills, it could be achieved quickly.
However, mid-grade Xiantian was much harder to deal with. Because the acupoints behind them would become harder and harder to open, and their positions would become more and more dangerous.
Not to mention high-grade Xiantian, it would be even more dangerous, and his life would be in danger at any moment.
Li Qing pondered in his heart, not knowing if he wanted to reach the Xiantian Realm with the above grade.
…
After a while, Liu Ke’er came to look for Li Qing. She told Li Qing, “I have opened 120 acupoints.”
“Oh? So fast!” Li Qing was a little surprised, but on second thought, it was not surprising that Liu Ke’er had already reached the tenth floor of the Houtian realm for several years.
She gently leaned her head against Li Qing’s shoulder and said, “In other words, I can break through to the Xiantian realm at any time as long as I want.”
“If we break through now, then wouldn’t it be a low-grade item? This won’t do!” Li Qing unhappily flicked her forehead and said, “I have to open 240 acupoints! Otherwise, I will make you look good!”
“I’m just saying that. I’m not saying that I really want to make a breakthrough.” Liu Ke’er said with a wronged expression, “Besides, I’ve broken through for your own good. That way, we can get married as soon as possible. Look at how anxious you are right now.”
Li Qing couldn’t help but laugh and said, “It has been such a long time. Could it be that we will give up at this last moment? Don’t worry, I’m not in a hurry. We still have a lot of time. Perseverance now will only bring about a better future!”
“Mm. We still have a lot of time!” Liu Ke’er nodded obediently and said with a yearning expression, “I only need to wait a few more years before I can open 240 acupoints. At that time, I will be able to break through. At that time, we will immediately get married and stay together forever. We will never be separated!”
“Never part.” Li Qing gently stroked her beautiful hair and looked forward to a better life in the future.
“You have already reached the tenth level of the Houtian realm. Do you plan to become a Xiantian with mid-grade or high-grade?” Liu Ke’er asked.
Li Qing was also hesitating in his heart, not knowing how to choose. Generally speaking, people like him always wanted to pursue a better and stronger path.
“I don’t know.” He said.
“High-grade is too difficult. The location of the acupoints behind them is really too dangerous. It might be life-threatening if you are not careful. Medium-grade insurance is better.” Liu Ke’er advised.
Of course she wanted her man to be the strongest, but she didn’t want him to be in danger. The two of them were safe and sound, and that was the best thing that could happen.
If they wanted to walk the high-grade path, they had to be prepared to die. This was simply too demanding, and it was not worth it for them.
“When the time comes, I’ll go ask Master how difficult it is for a high-grade Xiantian.” Li Qing sighed, “By the way, did anyone successfully walk this path?”
Liu Ke’er nodded her head. Knowing that Li Qing was unwilling, she stopped trying to persuade him.
