Chapter 11 Find a new way
This decision wasn't difficult.
Choose a dragon vein.
Within the mica stone, Zhong Ming sensed the vastness of heaven and earth, and the endless tide of spiritual energy like a mighty river. From the dragon vein, he sensed a single word.
Strong.
I must become stronger.
Only by becoming stronger can one exact revenge.
Alright, let's begin.
The spiritual energy of the mica stone flowed slowly but steadily into the dragon vein, and the spiritual energy began to tremble rhythmically, like the breathing of a dragon, gradually filling his body.
Zhong Ming carefully controlled his spiritual energy, as every mistake would impact the sidewalls of the dragon vein.
Because the dragon vein was formed entirely from ordinary flesh and blood, every mistake would bring immense suffering to the flesh and blood, as if someone were using a brush made of a thousand steel needles to scrub the flesh and blood.
"Take it slow, stay calm, Zhongming, you can do it," Zhongming kept encouraging himself. "Just one lap, just finish one lap first."
After its initial weak state, spiritual energy has finally grown and is able to actively absorb more free spiritual energy. However, this has brought more serious problems. The spiritual energy surges forward like a tide, gathering more and more, and rushing faster and faster.
The spiritual energy almost completely filled the entire meridian.
After completing the lap, Zhong Ming officially became a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining.
Before he could even rejoice, Zhong Ming discovered an even more serious problem.
He just can't stop.
The spiritual energy was pushed forward layer upon layer, and his weak soul had reached its limit, making it impossible for him to control so much spiritual energy.
The torrent of spiritual energy surged forward, eventually crashing uncontrollably to one side.
The pain caused Zhong Ming to faint instantly.
......
cold.
cold.
And my stomach hurts.
Zhong Ming struggled to open his eyes and vaguely saw a large pile of round...
Head!
The old Taoist priest, Xiao Yu, Xiao Zhao... even the big orange cat was there.
"woke up?"
"Master... I feel so uncomfortable."
"It's so painful... I'm so painful too... What kind of unparalleled genius did I take in?"
The old Taoist priest was extremely puzzled. Could someone really suffer a qi deviation on their very first attempt at cultivation?
This kind of problem only occurs when other people are old monsters with profound cultivation, who have prepared a lot of spiritual energy to break through their bottlenecks.
This kid...
"Come, tell your master exactly where it hurts the most."
This dragon vein is extremely hidden, and even the old Taoist priest could not fully detect it. To be precise, he could not detect it without harming Zhong Ming.
Zhong Ming raised his hand with difficulty and pointed to his waist, "It's probably here, hiss...it seems to be about an inch or so under the skin."
"Yes, it's between the Wailing and Zhongzhu acupoints."
Zhong Ming told the old Taoist priest everything.
The old Taoist priest wasn't too surprised by the choice of the dragon vein. Zhong Ming was just an ordinary mortal; it was both his misfortune and his opportunity.
only.....
"Zhong Ming, how wide do you think the area of pain is?"
"It feels like a single point."
"That would be terrible."
Wailing acupoint is located on the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming, and belongs to the category of Earth generating Metal.
Zhongzhu acupoint is an acupoint on the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, and its element is water.
Zhong Ming's spiritual energy attribute depends entirely on the dragon meat he ate; it was from a flood dragon, whose Dao was close to water.
"Zhong Ming, do you still remember that method of using spiritual energy to impact the sides of the meridians?"
“Master, remember, I will try my best to prevent this from happening again.”
"No, you must try your best to impact it, try your best to strike the Zhongzhu acupoint, that is, strike it to the right."
Zhong Ming: ? ? ?
The old Taoist priest sighed, "It'll cost you some money." He continued, "Your path leads you to water. Once you break through the obstacles, the dragon vein will connect to the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, one of the twelve meridians, just like a stream flowing into a great river. From then on, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap and the sky high enough for birds to fly."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ming couldn't help but get excited, and the gloom in his heart was swept away.
He savored the pain, finding it sweet, seemingly believing that the more suffering he endured now, the stronger he would become in the future.
In a flash, a thousand thoughts raced through his mind. A slight smile appeared on his lips, and his heart was filled with boundless pride, as if today's hardship was nothing more than a small ravine, and that one day he could climb to the summit in a single step.
"Don't be too happy yet. Let me make this clear first: thirty taels and four mace of silver is not enough for your treatment. You can pay me back later when you can earn spirit stones."
Connecting meridians is no easy task; just patching up the cracks at the junction of two meridians would require countless rare and precious materials.
Mentioning money had a more effective effect than a bucket of cold water, instantly sobering Zhong Ming up.
The mountains are high and the roads are long, the road to wealth is long and arduous.
To think you can reach the top in one step is wishful thinking.
As the saying goes, you can't get fat in one bite.
But you can get fat by eating bite by bite.
Thinking of this, Zhong Ming...
"Gurgle~ gurgle~~"
hungry.
"Master, I feel so hungry. How much time has passed?"
"It's alright, it'll only be three days. Xiao Yu made you some mountain delicacy porridge, and added bird eggs to it. Have some first."
Zhong Ming: ? ? ?
Three days? If this had happened last year, everyone would have been able to eat at my banquet!
Having thought this through, he disregarded all teacher-student etiquette, took the bowl of porridge, and began to wolf it down.
As the porridge went down my throat, a sweet taste spread first, and every cell in my body was craving nutrition. This bowl of life-saving porridge tasted even more delicious than dragon meat.
He slurped up the bowl of porridge in a few gulps, then licked his lips, still wanting more.
The old Taoist priest stood up, dusted off his robe, and said, "Zhongming, I have some bad news for you."
"Master, tell me."
"You'd better keep trying to break through the dragon vein."
"Now...?" The fighting spirit that a bowl of warm porridge had lifted immediately deflated.
"You have to keep pushing until your wounds heal, otherwise the flesh will become tougher after they heal, and the next push will be more painful and more difficult."
Seeing Zhong Ming's mournful expression, the big orange cat carefully moved to his side and gently flicked its tail over the spot of excruciating pain.
"Ow!!!"
It hurts even more now.
The old Taoist priest casually slid his foot, inserting his toe under the large orange cat's belly, and hooked it forcefully. The entire cat was lifted up, its neck grabbed by the priest, who then carried it out the door.
"Zhongming, I'm going out for a while. Remember, eat when you're hungry and sleep when you're tired."
When Zhong Ming could no longer see the old Taoist priest, a sense of panic arose within him, and he felt somewhat uneasy.
Previously, with his master backing him up, Zhong Ming only felt nervous and didn't feel that it was very dangerous. But now, he finds it hard to muster the courage to do it again.
"Xiao Zhao, how high is your Taoist skill?" Zhong Ming looked at the thin and weak Taoist temple servant with hopeful eyes.
"I don't know Taoist magic."
"How long do you think it will be before the abbot comes back? Should I wait until he gets back before I start?"
"The Taoist priest? He's probably gone to borrow money, but his friends are all poorer than the next, so he probably won't be back for a long time."
.....
Zhong Ming took a deep breath, his smile looking more like a grimace.
We always have to face difficulties, so let's go.
Head straight for the Zhongzhu acupoint, right?
"Um, Xiao Zhao, one last question, do you know what precautions to take when you hit an acupoint?"
"I...I only know that if you use acupuncture on that acupoint, it should be able to treat abdominal pain and...menstrual irregularities."
