Zhang Xuezhou had never actually tried cultivating the Western Sect's One Hundred and Eight Thousand Acupoints Technique after eating the flesh of a spirit beast.

But he has done similar things many times. For example, he used X446 medical technology to promote the Grain Avoidance Instruction and X432 medical technology to promote the initial stage of Mental Strengthening.

Zhang Xuezhou is a professional in using external forces to rapidly advance his spiritual practice.

The reason he hadn't been able to advance the One Hundred and Eight Thousand Acupoints Technique for so long was simply because they were too difficult to cultivate. Cultivation often took a whole day, and a whole day was negligible in terms of progress.

Even Rulai his senior brother, Tathagata, was overwhelmingly powerful and displayed skills superior to those of Zhou Xin and others, Zhang Xuezhou never put in the hard work to master this technique.

He was pondering when he would encounter a Spiritual Qi storm or find Qinmeng's Great Spirit Jade, and then attempt to cultivate.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou felt that even if he relied on external objects to make progress in his cultivation, it would likely be limited. But he never thought of becoming a second senior brother Rulai Buddha, or like Zhou Xin, who would fight head-on.

For Zhang Xuezhou, he felt that having enough ability was sufficient.

For example, if ordinary cultivators could get close to him and find it difficult to kill him, or if Zhang Xuezhou could escape after taking a beating, Zhang Xuezhou felt that such abilities were sufficient.

He was extremely pleased with the reward offered by the Daoist Randeng Ran Deng for another sermon, and he also understood the way to rapidly improve the One Hundred and Eight Thousand Acupoints Technique of the physical body.

However, Zhang Xuezhou had to be wary of the possible malice of the Daoist Randeng.

This requires him to appear somewhat clumsy and ordinary, and even with the spiritual fish nourishing his body, he cannot cultivate too quickly.

Zhang Xuezhou mentioned that he had made a mistake in practicing the One Hundred and Eight Thousand Acupoints Technique for cultivating the physical body, and he gave up after only two days of practice.

What he said wasn't wrong. Zhang Xuezhou had only practiced twice in reality and then stopped, and the same was true for his physical body.

If it weren't for his chance encounter with Daoist Randeng, Zhang Xuezhou felt that it would have taken him an indefinite amount of time to advance his cultivation of the One Hundred and Eight Thousand Acupoints Technique for physical body refinement.

"Young friend, you're wrong again!"

The Daoist Randeng had to admit that Zhang Xuezhou's performance in cultivation was rather mediocre.

This doesn't mean Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation was completely ineffective, but rather that he had taken some wrong turns in his Zhang Xuezhou. If it weren't for his intervention, the Daoist Randeng felt that Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't even have been able to enter the gate of cultivation.

It's clear that Zhang Xuezhou didn't put much effort into the One Hundred and Eight Thousand Acupoints Technique; in fact, he almost completely abandoned them.

Zhang Xuezhou's condition pleased the Daoist Randeng.

Firstly, they focused on practicing the Poison Avoidance Instruction, and secondly, Zhang Xuezhou's practice was minimal and he hadn't even scratched the surface.

Brother Tathagata has almost advanced the Poison Avoidance Instruction to the point of 24,000 acupoints, Rulai Zhang Xuezhou hasn't even activated the 1,000 acupoints of his physical body's initial stage.

Moreover, despite using the spirit fish to nourish his physical body, Zhang Xuezhou's performance in cultivation was less than satisfactory.

This inevitably made Randeng sigh that the strength of the cultivators in the Eastern Land Southern Jambudvipa Continent was largely due to the conditions of the land. If the conditions were not so good, the cultivators in this land would not be able to surpass those in Western Niuhezhou.

"To only grasp the basics after a whole night of practice, that's incredibly difficult!"

From sunset to sunrise, Zhang Xuezhou finally mastered the basics of cultivating the One Hundred and Eight Thousand Acupoints of his physical body.

He touched the glossy skin and bounced it, feeling as if his body was wrapped in a layer of cowhide, much more robust than before.

But Zhang Xuezhou's mouth was full of complaints.

"My cousin has a thousand acupoints a day, ten thousand in ten days, and One Hundred and Eight Thousand Acupoints!"

Rong Tianding was two minutes slower than Zhang Xuezhou.

Zhang Xuezhou had a foundation in this area and had also cultivated One Hundred and Eight Thousand Acupoints Technique, making it extremely difficult for him to conceal his abilities. Rong Tianding, on the other hand, had not cultivated to the required level. Moreover, he had been flying all day and was exhausted, and he couldn't get through the night, falling asleep in the middle of the night and not waking up until dawn.

He calculated Zhang Xuezhou's progress in cultivation, then pointed to his own, indicating that he should have been cultivating for three years.

This made Daoist Randeng Deng smile broadly; if cultivation could be calculated this way, that would be wonderful.

Not to mention the myriad of acupoints that are increasingly difficult to cultivate, the sheer amount of nourishment required to sustain the physical body is beyond the capacity of ordinary people.

Rulai the Buddha, with his exceptional talent, nearly a year of cultivation to advance the Poison Avoidance Instruction to the level of approximately 24,000 acupoints. In the Rulai year, the Buddha has consumed a great deal of nourishing substances and poisons, eating almost every day. Rulai to advance further, the time required would be doubled, or even several times or dozens of times longer.

The Daoist Randeng did not ask Rulai perfect the Poison Avoidance Instruction; he only hoped that Rulai senior brother, the Buddha, could withstand the poison of Brahma. He had no other thoughts.

The Rulai 'Sole Self Realm cultivation, a powerful physical body, and the Poison Avoidance Instruction with nearly 24,000 acupoints is already an extremely formidable combination.

The Daoist Randeng Deng had been planning to return to Xiniu Hezhou, but he never expected to run into Zhang Xuezhou.

At this time, he helped Zhang Xuezhou get started with the physical body technique, and he also hoped Rulai Zhang Xuezhou would reciprocate by helping him to fully implement the Poison Avoidance Instruction of the Buddha's 24,000 acupoints.

"What you say is true, young friend. As long as you are willing to endure hardship and have all the good conditions for cultivation, achieving perfection in one hundred days is not difficult," Daoist Randeng with a smile.

"I knew it! It's great that the Daoist priest thinks so too," Rong Tianding said.

"We hope you can lend us a hand, young friend," Daoist Randeng. "Let's see if we can get the Rulai to push through the 24,000 acupoints."

"My abilities are limited, so I can only preach. How much you can correct depends on your own skill Rulai," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"That's natural!"

The Daoist Randeng nodded repeatedly, Rulai could fill in the gaps and make corrections.

He had been busy all night, just waiting for Zhang Xuezhou to say those words.

Even though the Daoist Randeng was familiar with the physical techniques of the One Hundred and Eight Thousand Acupoints, and could use the names of many of these acupoints interchangeably, there were still gaps in his memory.

At this moment, Zhang Xuezhou began to preach again, which made Daoist Randeng prick up his ears.

On the one hand, he needed to listen to Zhang Xuezhou's explanation again to solidify his memory; on the other hand, Daoist Randeng needed to guard against Zhang Xuezhou making mistakes in his explanation. Once he found any discrepancies with the previous explanation, Daoist Randeng would definitely make Zhang Xuezhou stop.

"Young friend..."

"Fellow Randeng Deng is mistaken. This is something I've memorized over many years; how could it be wrong? Don't be impatient, listen to me continue, and you'll see that you've made a mistake!"

When Zhang Xuezhou was giving his sermon, the Daoist Randeng interrupted him three times.

But after three times, the Daoist Randeng never spoke again.

He found that Zhang Xuezhou's sermons were exactly the same as before, and the more Zhang Xuezhou spoke, the more familiar they felt to him.

As he corrected the errors in his memory, Buddha, Rulai received permission, also continued to make corrections.

It wasn't until the midday sun was high in the sky that Zhang Xuezhou finished explaining the cultivation method for the 24,000 acupoints.

"If you two have any further needs, you are welcome to come to Chang'an City for lectures and exchanges!"

Zhang Xuezhou stood up very politely.

He was being shrewd, indicating that he still had value, and he wasn't afraid that the Daoist Randeng might go back on his word or harbor ill intentions.

This is Zhang Xuezhou's instinct when facing an uncontrollable powerful cultivator.

His invitation clearly pleased Daoist Randeng greatly.

"Rulai the Buddha's small cycle of 24,000 apertures stabilizes, we will return to the sect to test Brahma's poison. If the Rulai it difficult to resist, we will ask for your help, young friend!"

The Daoist Randeng spoke with the same extreme politeness.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help Rulai senior brother Tathagata achieve the cycle of 36,000 and 48,000 acupoints, but rather that Daoist Randeng lacked both time and the ability to find better heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

The spirit fish, which was enough to inspire Zhang Xuezhou to master the basics of physical cultivation overnight, had a negligible effect on his senior brother, Rulai. Finding a highly poisonous creature to activate the Poison Avoidance Instruction was even more difficult.

At this moment, he was hoping that Rulai quickly complete the Poison Avoidance Instruction, and then return to Xiniu Hezhou to check on the situation.

Even if the two leaders of the Western Sect don't run into trouble, the time for the century-long struggle involving the major Sacred Land is approaching.

Anyone who can make a name for themselves in such an occasion and win the championship will Rulai obtain important rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures to promote their cultivation.

This is a crucial window of opportunity, and Daoist Randeng and his companions clearly won't miss it.
