Chapter 35: Analyzing Flame Blade, 70%

  At this time, Jumozhi sat cross-legged, and a layer of light yellow aura appeared all over his body, faintly visible. Chen Xiao only took two glances to know that this was the protective inner energy he had developed during his training with the Flame Knife.

  At this time, he didn't make a sound or move, but secretly watched.

  It's already midnight now, and with the moon hiding behind the clouds in the sky, the light is quite dim.

  By contrast, the faint yellow aura on Kumājīva's body became even more pronounced.

  Chen Xiao looked for a while, suddenly closed his eyes and secretly thought: "The yellow aura on him seems to have a route. I must be careful not to let him discover that I am observing him, lest he reveals his flaws, it will be difficult to observe again later."

  Breathing became more even and relaxed, occasionally accompanied by a light snore.

  To know, this Kumārajīva previously brought Chen Xie all the way running, rarely having such a full-force work. An opportunity once lost will never come again, if at this time one is not careful to startle the snake in the grass, then afterwards it will be difficult to handle.

  Chen Xiao pretended to sleep for nearly half a time, and only then dared to secretly open her eyes again.

  At this time, Jiumozhi had already reached the critical point of his practice, and the light yellow aura all over his body was becoming more and more obvious. Chen Xiao looked carefully and could even see that among the large patches of light yellow aura, there were a few weak yellow lines flowing slowly.

  "This inner power of his converges at the Zhongzhong acupoint on his chest, which is located on the Ren meridian and serves as the main conduit for the body's yin energy. It seems that this Flame Blade martial art uses the Ren meridian as a buffer point."

  "Going through the arm there are three... two... one, three lines, indeed it is the Hand Three Yang Meridian, this is the meridian that Flame Knife Fa Gong passes through."

  "Ah, going through the legs are one... two... three... four. Hmm? There are actually four in total. Looking at their positions, they should be the Foot Taiyang (Urinary Bladder) Meridian, Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian - these three Foot Yang meridians, as well as the Foot Taixing Spleen Meridian which belongs to the Yin attribute."

  "The Foot Three Yang Meridian naturally cultivates fire attribute flame true energy, so what is the use of the yin attribute Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian?"

  "This doesn't make sense. This Flame Knife can be considered as the inner power of fire attribute, but what's the situation with the inclusion of the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian in this inner power?"

  Thinking of this, Chen Xiao felt quite curious.

  It stands to reason that this flame knife is the fire attribute inner strength of the utmost yang, and cultivating the three yangs of the hand and foot would be fine. However, it just so happens that there is a foot taiyin spleen meridian mixed in, which really makes people somewhat incomprehensible.

  Chen Xiao stole a glance at Jiumozhi again, and at this time, Jiumozhi's whole body aura was even more intense. The seven meridian lines were even more obvious, except for the one located on the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, which was suddenly strong and weak, as if it were a heartbeat.

  After watching for a while, Chen Xiao thought to herself: "This Zutaiyin spleen meridian seems different from the normal one..."

  "Not the same...not the same..."

  At this point, Chen Xiao suddenly realized and secretly said: "Wait a minute!"

  He looked again from the beginning, looked for a few more eyes, and calculated in his heart. This time he looked at it for nearly twenty minutes. Suddenly, he had an epiphany and chuckled to himself: "So that's how it is! Ah ha!"

  "The Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian belongs to the Metal element, which generates Water. Water is associated with the Foot Taiyang Meridian, and Water also generates Wood. This leads to the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. Subsequently, Wood generates Fire. In the human body's 12 regular meridians, there are four meridians that belong to Fire: Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, and Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian. The Huo Yan Dao occupies two of the Fire meridians. Fire generates Earth; if it were only one Earth meridian, there would be an excess of Yang energy, which would harm the body. Therefore, two Earth meridians are used: Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian and Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian."

  "Finally, these two earth meridians converge at the Zhongzhu point of the Ren Meridian. The Ren Meridian belongs to Yin and can dissolve Yang poison. After that, the internal force flows again into the Yang-governed Du Meridian, thus forming a complete cycle."

  Chen Xiao looked carefully, and this time he already had some ideas in his mind. Indeed, he saw that the direction of Ji Mo's internal force was exactly the same as what he had thought of, without any difference!

  Just thinking of this, the system's voice suddenly rose in his mind: "Analyzing Flame Blade task, completion rate, 70%."

  With the system prompt, Chen Xiao's analysis was correct, and he almost burst out laughing: "Haha! You may be smarter than anyone else, but you didn't expect your Flame Blade to be analyzed by me so accurately, did you?!"

  Tech nerds save the world!

  The old man is indeed a traverser, awesome and unexplained!

  It turned out that this time Kumājīva really lost both his wife and his soldiers.

  He had always thought that Chen Xiao was just an ordinary person with no martial arts skills, and in fact, Chen Xiao's appearance was indeed that of an ordinary person. Even when reading "The Peony Pavilion", it seemed like he was flipping through a trivial book. He only read but didn't practice.

  But how could Jiumozhi have thought that Chen Xiao would be able to change to such an extent, and from just one accidental occurrence, he could analyze the training method of Huoyan Knife from his cultivation path?

  At this moment, Kumārajīva was still quite satisfied with Chen Xiao's actions, which had never involved running away. He thought to himself: "This Chen Xiao is indeed very cooperative and has never tried to escape. Since that's the case, I'll try not to make things difficult for him. If he can successfully write down the sword manual of the Six Pulses Divine Sword, at most I'll just capture him and take him back to the Western Regions."

  At this moment, one of them is meditating and the other is sleeping. On the surface, they are in perfect harmony, but as for what's really going on, only each person knows in their own heart.

  Time flies, and it was already the next morning. Ji Mo Zhi didn't rush to continue his journey, instead finding a flat stone and taking out brush, ink, paper, and inkstone from his clothes. He carefully laid them out and said: "Young master, I have shown you great respect on this journey, even not having any desire for the 'Huā Huā Bǎo Diǎn' that you carry with you. Now, shouldn't you give me the sword manual of the Six Meridians Divine Sword?"

  He spoke politely, but Chen Xiao knew what he was thinking in his heart. He immediately said firmly: "Guoshi, I'm really sorry, but I really don't know anything about the Six Pulses Divine Sword."

  Qiu Mozheng clasped his palms together and said calmly, "Little donor, don't try to deceive me. When I was fighting with Duan Yu and that young master at the Liu residence, you clearly shouted out the names of the Six Meridians Divine Sword techniques. The Six Meridians Divine Sword is known by very few in the Jianghu world. If you didn't know it, how could you have called out those names?"

  I thought you were arresting me for no reason, but it's because of this. Damn it, I'm really getting screwed over while lying down this time, so depressing.

  Chen Xiao knew that the more he didn't admit it, the more he would definitely think of a way to deceive him.

  So Chen Xiao first pretended to lower his head and ponder, after a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked: "Guoshi, you are already one of the six top masters in the world, this Six Veins Divine Sword is quite powerful, but it's not worth going so far as to capture me and bring me here, right?"
