After three circulation cycles, Zhang Xiaohu's Meridians were completely different from before. Judging by the tempering of the Meridians alone, they could be said to be closing in on the Misty Six Tigers of old.
Yet when the medicinal power of the Meridian Nourishing Pill returned to the lower dantian, there was still quite a lot left. At that moment, something like lightning flashed through Zhang Xiaohua's mind, and he instantly recalled how, back in Lu Town, when he had saved that little girl born on the seventh day of the seventh month, he had punctured that villain's Dantian.
Since Internal Energy could be used to poke a hole in the Dantian, preventing Internal Energy from being stored there, could that hole not also be repaired, restoring the Internal Energy within the body? And since the Meridian Nourishing Pill's medicinal power could repair the Meridians, surely it could repair the Dantian as well.
Thus, without saying a word to Zhang Xiaohu, Zhang Xiaohua wrapped the medicinal power of the Meridian Nourishing Pill in True Qi and slowly released it around the Dantian, attempting to repair his lower dantian.
Sure enough, the Meridian Nourishing Pill had the same effect in the lower dantian as it did in the Meridians. Not only did it perfectly repair certain damaged areas of Zhang Xiaohu's lower dantian, it also tempered it, making the lower dantian tougher and broader. Such an effect was beyond the reach of any martial arts cultivation method.
Seeing that the lower dantian had also been tempered, while half the pill's medicinal power still remained, Zhang Xiaohua helplessly withdrew his True Qi and said softly, "Second Brother, it seems the Meridian Nourishing Pill's medicinal power has not been fully used up. Circulate your Qi and refine it. You may gain something unexpected!"
