Chapter 50: The Working Principle of the Sunflower Treasure

  "Ah...... This sleep is so refreshing!"

  The next morning, Chen Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, stretched his waist and looked at A Bi standing beside him, laughing: "It's Sister A Bi, good morning! You're really fine, that's great. By the way, where is your sister Zhu?"

  Abi looked at Chen Xiao, who was standing tall, and her face turned red as she said with her head down: "Yesterday, after Auntie went back, she let me and Sister Zhu out, but I was so scared to death. Luckily, heaven blessed me, otherwise my arm would not be here today."

  Well, as long as your arm is still intact, it's all good, haha.

  Chen Xiao washed his face in the basin held by Ah Bi, feeling refreshed for a moment. After wiping himself with a new towel, he asked, "By the way, where is Madame Wang?"

  Abi lowered her head, packing things while saying: "Auntie knows that the young master is asleep, and instructed me not to disturb him. When the young master wakes up, please follow me to Yunjin Building for a meal, Young Master, please follow me."

  Chen Xiao followed Ah Bi in the winding paths of the Mandala Villa, strolling and admiring the scenery.

  This is indeed the Manshan Villa, and in the surrounding flower forest, there are only camellias, without even a single peony, rose or begonia.

  They soon arrived at the Cloud Embroidered Tower, where Chen Xiao stepped up. The decorations on this floor were rich and luxurious. A large painting in the middle depicted a peacock spreading its tail, with a pair of wooden couplets on either side, inscribed with: "Lacquer leaves are densely shaded, tea flowers are snowy and beautiful".

  At this time, the wine table was already set up. When Madam Wang saw Chen Xiao coming up, she smiled and said: "The young master has arrived, please take a seat."

  The more polite she was, the more Chen Xiao felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't shake off the feeling that Wang Furen had ill intentions towards her and that when push came to shove, she would have to make a quick escape.

  But no matter what ideas are in mind, they naturally cannot be revealed on the surface.

  Chen Xiao sat at the upper seat, while Wang Furen accompanied him at the lower seat.

  For a whole day and night, Chen Xiao hadn't eaten anything, he was really starving. He didn't care if the dishes were luxurious or ordinary, as long as they looked delicious, he would pick them up and eat them, without any politeness at all.

  He not only ate, but also kept stuffing his mouth. He was originally tall and big, and with a face full of food, he looked like a giant squirrel, and to the surrounding maids and servants, it seemed as if he had starved to death in his previous life.

  Madam Wang saw Chen Xiao's appearance without any sense of danger and sighed again.

  He finally ate his fill, and with a satisfied belch, Chen Xiao let out a mouthful of wine fumes, only then feeling content. He leaned back in his chair, gently rubbing his belly, and chuckled: "It's been ages since I've eaten so comfortably. This young master must thank Madame Wang for this meal. As long as it's something that's on my mind, I'll speak without reserve."

  Madam Wang looked at the table, which seemed to have just been swept by a tornado, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She stretched out her hand and poked Chen Xiao's forehead, saying: "You don't need to rush off, look at your starving ghost appearance, can I still starve you to death?"

  At this time, Chen Xiao had to pretend to be silly and foolish. He chuckled and scratched his hair, saying: "I'm sorry to make Wang's wife laugh, I've never eaten such delicious food before, I got excited and ate too much..." After finishing speaking, he let out another belch, causing the surrounding maids to cover their mouths and giggle, making a big commotion.

  At this time, Wang Furen was thinking about how to maintain her dignity, but she couldn't help it and finally burst out laughing again. "You... go back first, I'll come find you after I'm done with my business here." She looked at Ah Zhu and Ah Bi standing beside her and said, "The two of you can attend to Chen Gongzi for now. If there's anything that's not served properly, I'll chop off your hands."

  "Yes, I know," Ah Zhu hastily replied beside her.

  At this time, even those who didn't have a discerning eye knew that the other party was letting him off, Chen Xiao immediately stood up, bowed to Wang Furen and said: "That little kid will go back first."

  She followed Ah Zhu and Ah Bi back to the small building, Chen Xiao saw that they were guarding the door and didn't dare move at all. She understood that Wang's wife had told them to keep an eye on her so she wouldn't sneak away. At this point, she didn't mind, came to the desk, thought carefully, and finally took out "Chrysanthemum Treasure" from her pocket, slowly flipping through it.

  I considered myself lucky before, thinking that Ji Mo Zhi was trying to please me by getting the Six Meridians Divine Sword manual and didn't take it away from me. But now that I've fallen into the water, who knows what other things might happen in the future? I definitely can't let it get lost.

  After being soaked in water, this lotus flower treasure book has become wrinkled and worn out. This is a small matter, the most tragic thing is that most of the words inside have become blurry and can't be seen clearly. This shock was not trivial, Chen Xiao thought for a moment, and hurriedly searched carefully in this room.

  Fortunately, this was a study room. Before long, Chen Xiao found a blank book with no words or title on it and was overjoyed. He immediately sat back in his chair, intending to copy the entire "Kuihua Baodian".

  The pages of the Chrysanthemum Treasure Book were already wet and illegible, and many characters had faded away. Fortunately, Chen Xiao was a technical expert in traditional Chinese medicine, and these acupoint positions were originally remembered very firmly. At this time, although they couldn't be seen clearly, it wasn't a big problem.

  This time he recorded it in a proper brush calligraphy style, and the characters have greatly improved.

  Although it's still ugly, it can barely be read now - at least the characters are recognizable.

  First, write the four characters "Kui Hua Bao Dian" on the title page, and then turn to the next page, where it naturally says "To practice divine skills, one must first castrate oneself".

  However, Chen Xiao was afraid that the treasure would be snatched away by others, so he couldn't write down the records in their original form. After some thought, he opened the second half of the book and started writing according to the records above.

  The second half of this book is completely opposite from the first half.

  To know, the first half of the Sunflower Treasure Book talks about opening up the inner strength one acupoint at a time to connect the entire body's seven major yang meridians. However, this second half is completely opposite, talking about how to thoroughly seal off all of the body's seven major yin meridians.

  This is exactly what Chen Xiao said was the reason for the loopholes in the Sunflower Treasure Book when he told Dongfang Yu about it earlier.

  In the original work, the dispute between the two sects of Huashan's Qi and Jian originated from this.

  The first half of the book talks about the methods of practicing Qi and opening up the meridians, but the second half is completely the opposite, it's about closing off the acupoints and meridians.

  Think back to the two disciples of Mount Hua, who parted ways in memory. Comparing their paths, they found that their approaches to cultivation were completely opposite, and each thought they were right while the other was wrong.

  This also led to the tragedy of the two schools of Qi Jian.

  As a result, in fact, those two Huashan disciples that year were both practicing with their backs to each other, they just didn't think that this was actually the same kind of martial arts practice.

  Chen Xiao bit his pen holder and thought for a moment before recording the practice method of one of the second half books.

  "The first move of the Sunflower Divine Art."

  "Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian."

  "Main article: Internal force closure This meridian has eleven holes on both sides, which will completely seal the meridian and its holes, leaving no internal force."

  Then Chen Xiao started drawing his "male toilet sign" again, only this time it looked a little better...

  After finishing the portrait, Chen Xiao clearly marked all the acupoints of Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian on this portrait, including Zhongfu, Yunmen, Tianfu, and Xiebai, a total of eleven acupoints.

  "Afterwards, write clearly on the side: 'This heavy repair practice requires concentrating all internal energy in the body to the outermost point of the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, the Shao Shang hole. Starting from the Shao Shang hole, gradually seal off all the holes along the way. When this meridian is completely sealed, this goal will be achieved.'"

  Then he drew another picture with black lines marking out the step-by-step route of the exercise, and the last step was exactly the Zhongfu point in the innermost part.

  The operating principle of this Kuihua Treasure is actually a variant of the human body's electromagnetic cannon working principle.

  In the normal working principle of electromagnetic railgun, it is because there is a current flowing through the object in the magnetic field will produce acceleration.

  A railgun uses two sliding rails made of metal, which are electrified to produce a strong magnetic field. Part of the current flows through the projectile, which is also made of metal, accelerating it out of the barrel at high speed.

  And this Kuihua divine power is the inner force stored in the body's seven major yang meridians as electricity, which bursts out instantly when activated, and then recovers to the dantian before transferring to the body's seven major yin meridians, instantly breaking through the acupoints originally sealed by the inner force. This allows a person who has mastered the Kuihua treasure to have an action speed far surpassing other martial arts in the Jianghu.

  It has to be said that the eunuch who created this "Treasured Lotus Scripture" back then was truly a genius, able to come up with such a principle of movement.

  Chen Xiao carefully recorded the first revised cultivation method, then quickly closed the book, carefully put it away, and carefully returned the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to their original positions. Only then did she feel at ease. She couldn't continue writing anymore, in case Madame Wang discovered it, that would be a big trouble.
