Elder of Teaching Skills Ji Yun had once said that the Hundred Flowers Secret Records was compiled from the martial arts created by past sages of Hundred Flowers Valley or collected from the martial world. They had fused together the essence related to acupoint cultivation, creating this cultivation manual that could be called a peerless divine art within the Aperture Opening Realm.

Looking across the entire martial world, only a few other Martial Arts Holy Lands on the Divine Continent likely possessed something similar.

To Martial Artists of the World, calling it priceless would not be an exaggeration.

Ji Yun's willingness to pass such an immensely precious cultivation manual to Lin Lin was already proof of how highly he regarded Lin Lin's future.

He looked forward to it—to Lin Lin using this cultivation manual to lay an unparalleled foundation and becoming one of the foremost Heaven and Human Level Experts in the entire martial world.

Under such circumstances, there was no reason, nor any possibility, for him to hold anything back from Lin Lin.

In other words, these methods for opening and cultivating all 533 acupoints were already everything Hundred Flowers Valley possessed.

This showed just how difficult it was to discover and locate an entirely new Hidden Acupoint, then determine the method for opening and cultivating it.

The fact that Lin Lin could see over a thousand acupoints that could be lit up in the Meridian System of his Attribute Panel did not mean the Hundred Flowers Secret Records was not precious. It only showed how powerful his Attribute Panel was at grasping his own condition.

I originally treated this Attribute Panel as a cultivation aid that let me see my progress and provided positive feedback rewards. I never expected such an additional surprise.

With the basic principles of opening and cultivating acupoints that I learned from the Hundred Flowers Secret Records, it won't take long before I can find the methods to open and cultivate every acupoint in the human body.

After opening just 533 acupoints, breaking through to True Qi Condensation can lay the Foundation of Heaven and Man. If I cultivate every acupoint throughout my body that can be opened and lit up, what kind of powerful foundation will I lay when I break through to the True Qi Condensation Realm?

The Foundation of Invincibility?

In the martial world, those Invincible under heaven are generally called Martial Arts Legends. Perhaps such a foundation could also be called a Legendary Foundation?

Lin Lin trembled all over, his heart filled with excitement.

His past cultivation progress and accomplishments had only given him the confidence that he could become an expert.

As for being Number One Under Heaven, that had merely been a distant dream, something that required a lifetime of pursuit and effort for even the slightest chance of attaining.

Even after he became qualified in the future to cultivate Hundred Flowers Valley's peerless divine art, he would never have thought that he was certain to become Invincible under heaven.

After all, if Hundred Flowers Valley's peerless divine arts could make someone Invincible under heaven, why was Hundred Flowers Valley now merely a Martial Arts Holy Land rather than the supreme power ruling the entire Divine Continent?

Yet this new discovery gave Lin Lin an absolute conviction and confidence that he would surely become invincible.

If he could open and cultivate every acupoint in his body, then only one future awaited him.

Invincible under heaven!

How could Lin Lin not be excited under such circumstances?

It took a long time for Lin Lin to calm his excitement. He then focused his mind and, following the basic principles of acupoint cultivation he had mastered, began nourishing and opening those Hidden Acupoints not recorded in the Hundred Flowers Secret Records.

His initial experiments were not particularly successful, but after testing the three methods of opening acupoints one by one, Lin Lin successfully found a way to open, nourish, and light up this Hidden Acupoint.

Moreover, in the cultivation that followed, he found the method of nourishing and cultivating that suited this acupoint best.

"Hahaha!"

When he opened his eyes, Lin Lin could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and threw back his head in laughter.

It was just as the lamps were being lit, and Lin Lin was home after work.

Such a huge commotion immediately drew the attention of his family and several nearby residents.

The sound of robes fluttering rang out as several people came to investigate.

Lin Lin cupped his hands toward the figures appearing around him and toward his parents, who were looking at him, then said with a smile, "My apologies for disturbing everyone. I merely made a minor breakthrough in martial arts. Nothing else has happened."

The onlookers focused on Lin Lin and saw that his blood and qi were surging powerfully. He indeed looked like someone who had made a breakthrough in martial arts.

"Little Lin cultivates so diligently. His blood and qi are so vigorous that he's already approaching the first-rate level."

"Guanglin, learn from Little Lin. Don't take that earlier scuffle to heart. Only by consulting Little Lin more often about martial arts will you improve."

A neighbor spoke in praise. He was a middle-aged man with a square face, dressed in white, smiling warmly.

Beside him stood Chai Guanglin, whom Lin Lin had beaten up earlier. It was not difficult to see that this middle-aged man was Chai Guanglin's father.

As a parent, he sincerely felt that the occasional conflict or fight between children was no big deal. It might even spur one another's enthusiasm and motivation for martial arts.

Besides, Lin Lin had not pressed his advantage and beaten his son up every day, so it was even less of a problem.

At those words, Chai Guanglin's expression became as uncomfortable as if he had eaten something unmentionable.

He had merely come out to watch the excitement, only to suffer such humiliation.

Yet he could not say much, so he merely cupped his hands in greeting before turning and leaving with a dark face.

Chai Guanglin was not the only one. Zhao ChuXue and several others whom Lin Lin had also beaten up earlier likewise turned and left with dark expressions at nearly the same time.

Seeing this, Lin Lin, who had already been in a good mood, nearly laughed aloud.

He quickly exchanged a few polite words with the older neighbors. Only after seeing them off did he turn to his parents and say, "Father, Mother, I'm in a great mood today and have a huge appetite. Make more for dinner."

Although Zhang Fei did not know exactly what had happened to her child, she was happy as well and answered, "All right."

With a smile on his lips, Lin Lin sat down in a reclining chair and turned his attention back inward.

It seems my earlier guesses and ideas were correct. By exploring according to the basic principles of opening and nourishing acupoints, I can easily open entirely new, undiscovered Hidden Acupoints. At this rate, opening and lighting up every acupoint in my body to forge a true foundation of invincibility is only a matter of time!

There are exactly 1,440 acupoints throughout the body. If I can open and light up every one of them, then even without breaking through to the True Qi Condensation Realm, my combat strength will continue to rise until it reaches an exaggerated level.

Invincibility begins today!

His heart surged with emotion, and Lin Lin had to exert considerable self-control to suppress the urge to dance with joy.

At dinner, Lin Lin moved his chopsticks with lightning speed.

After quickly eating his fill, Lin Lin did not rest. He immediately began trying to explore the method for opening and lighting up the next Hidden Acupoint.
