Repair the Meridians, Grow Spirit Sprouts to Live Ten Thousand Years

The Kun Void Cauldron suddenly began to shake violently, and the patterns on it pulsed nonstop like fish scales.

Muddled and chaotic!

The great cauldron rang out!

The greatest sound was hard to hear, silent and formless.

Then ripples like those on water spread through the void, and the entire cauldron body was wreathed in ancient, simple streams of chaotic qi. Infinite heavenly stems, earthly branches, and mysterious seal-script characters interwove, forming one abstruse pattern after another.

At last, they transformed into subtitles again!

[Acquisition successful. Cauldron master, please take note and receive it.]

[Received!]

"Clang!"

The great cauldron shook!

Yu Ke watched expectantly as two strands of resplendent aura breathed out from the cauldron and slowly flowed into his body.

"Mediating Mother Qi?"

"There are actually two wisps!"

Yu Ke was both shocked and delighted. This time, it had come out of nowhere.

Could it be that killing an emperor brought such fortune?

Last time, obtaining one wisp of Mediating Mother Qi had healed his acupoints. This time, with two wisps, he did not know whether it could restore his meridians.

Acupoints + meridians = able to cultivate!

I'm going to cultivate immortality.

As the two wisps of Mediating Mother Qi gradually merged into his body.

The instant they touched him!

They turned into two currents of heat, flowing through his whole body like trickling streams, leaving him warm all over.

It was like drinking crushed ice in the height of summer, like soaking in a hot spring in winter.

It was that familiar feeling again, that familiar recipe.

A wave of drowsiness came over Yu Ke, and his consciousness grew hazy and heavy.

An incomparably comfortable sensation spread through his whole body, as if a pair of meticulous hands were slowly kneading him from head to toe.

Yu Ke seemed, in an instant, to recall a certain place from his previous life.

"What number were you again? Number 88."

He could no longer hold on and toppled headfirst onto the bed.

The next day.

The four great suns in the sky rose as usual.

Yu Ke rubbed his eyes and slowly woke up on the bed.

The first thing!

With excitement and anticipation, Yu Ke sat upright, closed his eyes, and began to look inward at his body.

He gathered his mind and looked within himself.

He sent his consciousness deep into every corner of his body, carefully inspecting his meridians, acupoints, and dantian.

Under his focused gaze, the internal scene of his body gradually became clear.

The human body had seven hundred and twenty major acupoints distributed along the conception and governor vessels, as well as the twelve primary meridians.

There were roughly fifty-two single acupoints throughout the body, three hundred and nine paired acupoints, and fifty extraordinary acupoints outside the meridians, for a total of seven hundred and twenty acupoints.

But in the people of this world, there was one extra acupoint above the Niwan Palace.

"The Divine Heaven Point!"

Only after Foundation Establishment could it reveal itself. Once this acupoint opened, one's ears became sharp and eyes clear. It was the most important acupoint for cultivators.

It was the foremost of the seven hundred and twenty acupoints.

Now, in Yu Ke's eyes, all seven hundred and twenty major acupoints shimmered with crystalline jade light, like precious mountains nourished by spiritual energy.

Yu Ke was quite satisfied.

However!

When Yu Ke shifted his consciousness to his meridians, the scene he saw...

Yu Ke's expression darkened.

"It's still the same old mess!"

The meridians that should have been smooth, unobstructed, and brimming with vitality now looked dim and lusterless. In some places, there were even signs of fractures and blockages.

These fractures and blockages severely affected the flow of spiritual energy, giving Yu Ke an indescribably heavy feeling.

His meridians were still in a shattered state. Many small clots of blood were lodged within them, just like blood clots in his previous life. Once blocked, the consequences would be too dreadful to imagine.

What worried him even more was that some meridians had even "rerouted."

Although these rerouted paths would not cause too much impact on his body for the time being, if things went on like this, at best he would become a cripple, and at worst he might drop dead violently.

Thinking of this, Yu Ke could not help but feel a wave of lingering fear.

The reason he had not dared circulate his cultivation these past few days was precisely because he was worried these fractured and blocked meridians would worsen further.

Most importantly!

If the meridians were blocked, he could not cultivate.

If this continued for long, he might even lose the ability to cultivate forever.

That was the most terrifying part!

Yu Ke grew puzzled again.

"Wait, my Mediating Mother Qi is gone?"

At that moment!

However, two warm currents suddenly emerged from his lower dantian, like two lively little fish of shimmering light swimming about.

They radiated warm and gentle energy.

One of the warm currents was like a silver stream. It followed the Central Yellow Court, the Golden Palace, then surged straight upward, passing through the checkpoint of the Yellow Court and continuously advancing. (along the acupoints of the spine)

Every impact it made seemed to cause a faint tremor inside Yu Ke's body, bringing strands of vitality.

The other warm current was like a fine golden thread. It swam along many acupoints, including the perineum, coccygeal pass, central pivot, Origin Pass, Hundred Convergences, Life Gate, Sea of Qi, central pivot, Divine Path, and Chest Center, ultimately also gathering upward and charging toward the upper dantian.

Its route was more winding, and it was indeed the most important point for the human body to break through its passes.

Where these two warm currents passed, as many as six meridians, including the hand greater yin lung meridian, foot greater yin spleen meridian, and hand lesser yin heart meridian, began to be slowly opened one by one.

The meridians that had originally been dim and lusterless gradually recovered their vitality under the nourishment of the warm currents and brightened.

Yu Ke sensed the changes inside his body, and his eyes instantly became blazing hot.

These two warm currents were precisely the Mediating Mother Qi he had obtained earlier!

As the Mediating Mother Qi flowed, strands of blood-colored velvet-like matter were swallowed by the "spirit fish" or expelled through his pores.

These blood-colored velvet-like substances were exactly the stagnant blood and waste accumulated in Yu Ke's body.

Under the effect of the Mediating Mother Qi.

The blood clots inside Yu Ke's body were cleansed one by one, and the shattered places in his meridians were silently repaired as well.

Deep within his dantian, spiritual energy continually sprang forth like a gushing fountain, beginning to cycle endlessly through the meridians carefully opened by the two spirit fish.

As the spiritual energy was born, Yu Ke's meridians gradually became crystal clear, as if they had undergone a baptism.

However, within this purity came an unbearable scorching heat.

His face flushed red as fire, sweat pouring like a waterfall, soaking his hair, his forehead covered in bean-sized beads of sweat.

Yu Ke took off his upper garment, revealing the lean, powerful physique forged by years upon years of cultivation.

But even so!

He still felt waves of heat rolling over him. His skin seemed to be inside a blazing furnace, flushed so red it almost looked ready to drip blood.

Spiritual energy surged endlessly through his meridians. Yu Ke's body seemed to have become an inflated balloon, yet he had no way to release the excess spiritual energy, making him suffer terribly.

Yu Ke was frantic with anxiety. He worried that if this went on, his whole body would explode because he could not endure it, turning into a pile of minced flesh.

"What do I do!"

He worked hard to recall his predecessor's knowledge of cultivation.

"Drawing qi into the body is the cultivation method of this world."

"What is the Divine Firmament Sect's cultivation method?"

Yu Ke hurriedly searched his memories.

"Essential Guide to Tending the Field!"

Although the name sounded somewhat vulgar, and at first hearing one might think it was about farming and breeding livestock.

But it was the foundation of the Divine Firmament Sect. Only disciples who joined the Divine Firmament Sect and swore an oath in the Ancestral Master Hall were qualified to cultivate it.

The Divine Firmament Sect had weathered wind and rain without decline for ten thousand years, and this immortal scripture had likewise been passed down through countless ages.

It was not only the symbol of the Divine Firmament Sect, but also a publicly recognized immortal treasure manual in the cultivation world. Even the inner disciples within the sect all used this scripture as the foundation of their cultivation.

The name of this treasure manual had been personally given by the founding patriarch of the Divine Firmament Sect, and it had never changed over thousands upon thousands of years.

Opening its first page, one could see two lines of poetry:

"My household rightly sows my household's field."

"It can grow spirit sprouts to live ten thousand years."

These two lines of poetry condensed the patriarch's unique understanding of the path of cultivation. He believed cultivation was like farming.

The human body was born with tillable fields; there was no need to seek outside.

The fields within the body could nourish life and grant longevity without death.

The source of nourishing life was the path of longevity.

Come, I'll teach everyone how to cultivate, haha.
