Ranked Middle Stage

Jiang Liu sat cross-legged, mending the internal injuries caused by the chaotic flow of Blood Essence. After a good while, he finally recovered.

This won't do. I need to calm down and think. Jiang Liu then continued to sit cross-legged, his mind entering a state of clarity.

The meridians needed for the Five Elements Heart Sutra and special attribute techniques, seemed like a three-dimensional graphic appearing in Jiang Liu's mind. One by one, the routes of circulation automatically sketched themselves together, but they never quite flowed smoothly.

The requirement for circulating the techniques was to complete one before connecting to another, but it always veered off halfway, preventing even a single technique's circulation route from being completed.

Suddenly, Jiang Liu thought, it seems like it's out of habit. Every time I experiment, I always start with the Five Elements Heart Sutra. Why not start with the Lightning Guiding Art this time?

A surge of Blood Essence rose from his lower abdomen, following the circulation route of the Lightning Guiding Art. It completed its cycle, and then successfully connected to the Five Elements Heart Sutra. Next, the Thunderclap Art also succeeded. Then, when he tried to circulate the Wind Rise Art, the Blood Essence went haywire.

This left Jiang Liu feeling extremely frustrated. The first few went so well, but then it failed at the Wind Rise Art. Something must be wrong somewhere.

Jiang Liu decided to continue experimenting. This time, he started with the Wind Rise Art, but it failed to connect even to the first one. The Blood Essence immediately ran amok, and a mouthful of reverse blood spurted from his mouth. Jiang Liu quickly stopped.

Jiang Liu meditated and regulated his breathing, recovering his Blood Essence. Suddenly, Jiang Liu thought. It seems the Five Elements Heart Sutra can connect all the circulating techniques! Drawing out the various Blood Essence circulation routes again, he couldn't help but cry at his own stupidity.

Jiang Liu began circulating the Lightning Guiding Art, starting to circulate Blood Essence, then connecting to the Five Elements Heart Sutra, then connecting to the Thunderclap Art, followed by the Five Elements Heart Sutra again, then circulating the Wind Rise Art, then the Five Elements Heart Sutra again, then circulating the Frost Art, and finally the Five Elements Heart Sutra, followed by the Lightning Guiding Art. Finally, a perfect cycle was formed.

With this cycle, the four special attribute techniques were circulated once, and the Five Elements Heart Sutra was circulated four times. The number of circulations was high, but the time spent on each circulation was also long! Although it saved time compared to circulating each technique individually, it didn't save much. Perhaps the time spent could be reduced significantly after the proficiency increased.

Jiang Liu circulated the technique route he had experimented with again. After completing one cycle, the sky was already completely dark.

But Jiang Liu's eyes were exceptionally bright. He had been so focused on experimenting that he hadn't noticed anything different about these technique circulation routes. But when he circulated it for the second time, Jiang Liu finally discovered that the circulation routes of these techniques, when combined, were the circulation routes of the body's main meridians.

In other words, there's no such thing as single cultivation! Single cultivation is just taking shortcuts. Jiang Liu doesn't yet know what this means, only that he has discovered something that seems extraordinary. He felt uneasy about whether to tell others! He thought that his strength was currently weak, so he shouldn't say anything for now!

Jiang Liu's mind flickered, and a deep blue light screen appeared.

Seeing that he was about to be Ranked, Jiang Liu's lips revealed a smile. This speed is really fast! Although the time spent circulating the technique once is long, the Primal Qi refined is much more! He knew that this was only the first day of cultivating the technique.

Jiang Liu's heart is now full of hope, because even if he cultivates all the meridians, his cultivation will not lag behind others, after all, the strength rank of a Martial Practitioner depends on the amount of Primal Qi stored.

Because he cultivates all attributes, he can cultivate any attribute's martial arts. Moreover, martial arts of various attributes can be used in combination, and he believes that the power level of martial arts will definitely be improved.

Huff!

Jiang Liu circulated the technique circulation route he had designed before. Immediately, a vortex of Qi appeared in his lower abdomen. The vortex of Qi started to rotate slowly, gradually accelerating.

As the vortex of Qi accelerated, a suction force slowly appeared, and the suction force became stronger and stronger, pulling Primal Qi particles into the vortex! One by one, they gradually filled the vortex, and the vortex gradually expanded.

Jiang Liu knew that he was finally about to open up his Dantian. The appearance of the Qi vortex was the beginning of opening up the Dantian. Only by filling the Qi vortex for the first time can one officially enter the ranks of a First Rank Martial Practitioner.

The Qi vortex continued to pull the Primal Qi particles, and the Primal Qi particles that had been pulled into the Qi vortex began to rotate with the Qi vortex.

When the last Primal Qi particle in the meridians was pulled into the Qi vortex, the Qi vortex gradually stopped rotating, but the rotation of the Primal Qi particles did not stop, it continued.

Finally, reaching a peak, Jiang Liu felt a shock throughout his body. His body, which he previously thought had been forged to the extreme, suddenly had clusters of dirt emerging from its surface. This was the body cleansing itself again, expelling impurities from the body.
