Chapter 65: Unblocking the Meridians

  He had been practicing diligently for nearly half a month, and Fang Li's progress was still quite evident. At least now the true energy inside his body had become much purer. However, the only thing that made him unable to let go of it was that his so-called master had never summoned him, not to mention guiding his practice.

  Of course, Fang Li didn't care either. As early as the first time he saw Xuemozi, he had already made up his mind. He just hoped that Xuemozi wouldn't interfere with him.

  Fang Lidun sat in the Gathering Spirit Array, surrounded by spiritual energy that surged towards him like waves. The closer to Fang Lidun, the denser the spiritual energy became. At this moment, he was like soaking in a spiritual hot spring. If an outside cultivator saw this, they would probably be envious beyond measure.

  The method of Fang Li's cultivation is still the Wuxiang Jue. When entering meditation, all the spiritual energy enters through the Yintang (third eye) and then flows through the twelve regular meridians, returning to the Dan Tian.

  Fang Li has been practicing the Formless Fist for some time now, but he is still stuck in the first realm. His true energy can only circulate through the 12 regular meridians. If he could break through to the second realm and open up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, Fang Li's strength would increase greatly, and his cultivation speed would also accelerate significantly.

  In the past, when spiritual energy was insufficient, I could still cultivate with just the twelve regular meridians. Now that the surrounding spiritual energy is so dense, it's a bit difficult to circulate. If we compare spiritual energy to water, then the spiritual energy I faced in the past was like a gentle stream, whereas now it's like a raging river. The twelve meridians might be able to let the gentle stream pass through without overflowing, but they can't fully drain the waters of the river.

  At this time, if eight more water channels can be developed, it will definitely increase the speed of cultivation a lot.

  Moreover, the eight extraordinary meridians are even more closely connected to the dantian, and the circulation formed by the ren and du meridians directly passes through the dantian. Once it is opened up, it will be a matter of course that all the surrounding spiritual energy will be refined into one's own true qi. This cultivation speed is absolutely terrifying.

  Moreover, if he can really cultivate the Wu Xiang Jue to the second level and open up the eight extraordinary meridians, Fang Li will have enough meridians to set up a second-order array. The array that Fang Li sets up in his body is still the Teng Cao Guan Array, but it's not very useful anymore.

  Teng grass array is flexible and changeable, but after all, it's a first-class array method. Moreover, it's not an attacking array method, but a trapping array, its power is not that strong. If you can set up the water and fire two instruments array in your body, your actual strength will be greatly improved. And when stimulated to the extreme, even release water dragon, fire dragon to kill the enemy, the wonderful place is afraid of not less than some immortal techniques!

  At this thought, Fang Li suddenly became excited. Water and fire are both attributes with extremely strong attacking power, the former is burning, the latter is corroding, when they collide, they can explode with several times more power, not to mention people, even gold, silver, copper, and iron can be melted clean.

  With a heart full of hope, Fang Li had already made up his mind to unblock the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

  With a goal in mind, Fang Li didn't hesitate and immediately took out a porcelain bottle from the Qiankun bag. This porcelain bottle contained ten Pei Yuan Dan pills, which Fang Li had been reluctant to use during his usual cultivation, but now that he wanted to open up his meridians, he couldn't be stingy anymore.

  After some thought, Fang Li took out that bottle of Huo Luo Yang Xue Dan again. While opening up the meridians was a viable option, it did come with its risks. If one wasn't careful and the true qi circulated too vigorously, it might just end up bursting the meridians and causing internal injuries. Having some Huo Luo Yang Xue Dan on hand was a bit of insurance.

  He pulled out the stopper, and a refreshing fragrance wafted up to his nose. Fang Li didn't hesitate at all, immediately pouring out a pellet of Pei Yuan Dan and putting it in his mouth. The Pei Yuan Dan dissolved as soon as it entered his mouth, instantly turning into a warm current that rushed straight to his heart.

  Who would have thought that Pei Yuan Dan's medicinal power was so strong, it turned into a warm current rushing to the heart, and suddenly became extremely unbearable, like being on fire.

  Logically, Pei Yuandan is most suitable for foundation-building cultivators to take. For a Qi-refining cultivator like Fang Li, taking Jiling Dan would be enough. However, Fang Li was overly ambitious and felt that the effects of Jiling Dan were too weak, so he bought all of the Pei Yuandan instead. Now, after taking it, he has ended up suffering greatly.

  Although it was so, Fang Li did not surprise or rejoice, the more his body felt uncomfortable, the more it showed that the spiritual energy contained in it was greater, and the effect of opening up the meridians was naturally better.

  Without hesitation, Fang Li immediately started operating the true energy in his body, wanting to absorb all the medicinal properties of Pei Yuan Dan and then impact the meridians.

  However, the idea was simple, but the operation was extremely difficult. When Fang Li tried to wrap his true energy around that medicinal power, it suddenly dispersed and turned into a dozen or so strands that rampaged through his body. Fortunately, after they dispersed, the force of their rampage wasn't too great; otherwise, this would have left Fang Li severely injured.

  Even so, Fang Li still felt suffocated and unbearable in his chest, which also affected the circulation of blood, making his physical condition extremely poor.

  Fang Li, however, was not deterred and divided the medicinal power into over ten strands, which suited his intentions perfectly. This made it even easier for him to control them. Without hesitation, he immediately used his true energy to capture six of the strands and guided them towards the Ren and Du meridians.

  A loud noise, Fang Li only felt a sudden pain in the **hole**, followed by a numbness, and the six-channel medicine began to divide into two parts. One part went from the **hole** forward, through the navel, straight to the mouth under the tongue; another part went from the **hole** backward, along the spine, straight to the top of the head, Baihui hole.

  Two forces of medicine passed through his body, and he felt a sharp pain, as if being pricked by needles, and he was sweating profusely. However, he did not retreat, but still gritted his teeth and endured.

  However, when the two meridians were opened halfway, the two medicinal powers seemed to have some signs of exhaustion. Fang Li dared not be careless and endured the severe pain to capture the remaining medicinal power again, while also controlling the true energy in his body, rushing towards the two meridians together.

  With a loud "whoosh", another large hole was blown open. At the same time as the pain, Fang Li also felt a hint of comfort, the potential of this body was gradually being tapped.

  It wasn't until much later, when the medicinal properties of Pei Yuandan were about to dissipate, that Fang Li's mind suddenly rang out with a loud rumble. It turned out that Ren Du Er Mai had been opened up, and the remaining medicinal properties all surged into the Upper Dan Tian.

  Since the disappearance of the Bodhi Dharma, the upper dantian has been empty and hollow. Now, with this surge of medicinal power rushing in, it's making it sway non-stop.

  In the depths of his mind, a faint image seemed to appear in the upper dan Tian, somewhat resembling a Bodhi tree. But before Fang could take a closer look, the medicinal effect had already been exhausted, and the illusion also disappeared along with it.

  Although it was like this, it still made Fang Li excited inexplicably. In this case, the Bodhi tree species should still have a chance to reappear. If the spiritual energy is sufficient, it may be possible to re-condense it. The effect of the Bodhi law phase on the sword intent was something that Fang Li could not forget.

  Waited for the benefit to open his eyes, only to find that the clothes on his body were already dirty and disheveled. As the Ren and Du meridians were opened up, a lot of impurities mixed with sweat were discharged from the body, but now they had all been stained onto his clothes.

  Fang Li did not rush to calculate these, but instead took a look at his own physical condition. Although this cultivation did not increase the true energy much, the benefits to the body were undeniable. After opening up two meridians, not only did Fang Li's cultivation speed increase, but his body also became much stronger. Later on, when he opened up the remaining six meridians in the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, it would be able to greatly enhance his strength.

  Fang Li originally wanted to pluck up the courage to clear all six remaining meridians, but after calculating the time, he suddenly turned pale with fright. He had already been in Xuan Yang Sword Sect for almost a month! This meant that the poison of the Thirteen Gu Poison Dan was about to take effect!
