Acupoint Locations! Open, Hidden, and Ashi!

As he pondered, a graceful figure appeared in Li Bufan's mind before he knew it.

Dressed in white as pure as snow, with dark hair cascading like a waterfall, a cool expression, and features as fine as a painting, she was Lin Zhiyan. About two years had passed since they parted at Forbidden Peak.

In those two years, he had grown from a minor cultivator in the Dantian Realm to one in the Acupoint Realm.

"I've caught up to you," he said softly, the tenderness in his voice unmistakable.

After the Nine Peaks Martial Meet, I'll have to discuss it with her. If that doesn't work, I'll have no choice but to use force.

At the thought, Li Bufan could not help smiling. But he knew Lin Zhiyan was not one to meekly yield. If he wanted to catch up with her, he still needed to cultivate diligently. He took a deep breath, pushed those distracting thoughts from his mind, and resumed his cultivation.

The Acupoint Realm, as its name suggested, involved opening the acupoints within the body. The human body had twelve principal meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, with countless acupoints distributed along them.

But those were only the ones out in the open. Many more lay hidden deep within the body, waiting to be discovered and opened.

According to both the Five Elements Heaven Skill and the Circulatory Stars Diagram, the body contained three hundred and sixty such points.

Three hundred and sixty was the number of a complete celestial cycle, secretly mirroring the principles of heaven and earth. The first points to be opened were called open acupoints. Distributed along the body's meridians, they were also known as meridian acupoints.

These points followed the meridians and had fixed positions and names. Every cultivator would open them.
