After some time, Xu Que finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The system's plan wasn't a dead end. It allowed him to learn how to sever his meridians so that he could use up the excess Qi in his body.
Because the Qi flowed through his meridians, every time he severed his meridians, the Qi would automatically replenish them.
Moreover, it would make his meridians tougher and stronger, and at the same time, it would temper his body.
However, the process was too horrible to look at. If he wanted the Qi to replenish his meridians, he would have to turn off the auto-repair function. This also meant that Xu Que would have to suffer the pain of severing his meridians over and over again.
"Forget it. So be it. It's better than being stuffed to death."
Xu Que finally made up his mind.
Gritting his teeth, he spent 10 act tough points to buy the book "Severing Meridians".
An idea flashed through his mind and he instantly mastered this self-mutilating technique.
He then closed his eyes and condensed a strand of Qi from his fingers. He then pressed on the various acupuncture points on his body.
Immediately, the screams of a pig being slaughtered reverberated throughout the forest …
This severing lasted for two days and two nights. Finally, Xu Que collapsed from exhaustion and fainted.
...
...
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in a dilapidated wooden hut. Beside him were simple wooden furniture. On the table, there was a rusty iron kettle that was emitting steam.
"I survived again …"
Xu Que smiled happily.
He licked his dry lips and wanted to get up to drink some water.
"Hiss!"
Immediately, he took in a breath of cold air. His entire body felt like it was being torn apart as he fell back onto the bed.
At this point, he realized that he was wrapped up like a mummy. A pungent smell of medicine was emitting from his body.
Damn it, which quack did this to me?
Xu Que was enraged. What's the big deal about a mere injury? I can just spend some Acting Tough Points to fix it. But you've tied me up like a mummy. How am I supposed to get out of bed and go out to act tough?
"Creak!"
At this point, the wooden door was gently pushed open. A petite figure appeared at the door.
"Eh, you're awake?"
A clear and melodious voice entered Xu Que's ears.
Xu Que looked up and was stunned.
The little person in front of him was pure and pleasant. Her skin was tender and white, and her beautiful black hair hung down naturally. Her big, watery eyes were incomparably penetrating.
Seeing that Xu Que had woken up, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing an angelic smile.
"You're finally awake. Yesterday, when I went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, I saw you lying on the ground, covered in blood, so I asked Brother Erleng and the others to help carry you back. You must be a foreigner, right? You can't go to that mountain in the future. If you don't know the way, it's easy to run into wild beasts. "The pure and beautiful village girl smiled, revealing two sweet dimples on her cheeks.
Xu Que was still stunned.
Oh my god, why are there so many beauties in this world! Previously, there was a little fairy who would shout and kill at the slightest provocation. Now, there was a random village girl who was so pure and lovely. How could he hold himself back?
"Don't be afraid. This is Pan Shan Village. Wild beasts won't come here. There are many immortals in the mountain who will chase them away." The village girl saw that Xu Que was in a daze and thought that he was still afraid. She waved her small hands and made a gesture of beating the wild beasts. She looked extremely adorable.
Xu Que regained his senses. Looking at the beautiful girl was one thing, but acting tough was another. He couldn't let go of this great career!
His body trembled as he said, "Afraid? I, Xu Que, have never known the meaning of fear. To tell you the truth, I am a hunter. That day, I met a few thousand … uh, dozens of wild beasts who wanted to eat me. However, I wasn't afraid at all. At that time, I told the group of wild beasts that death is inevitable. It could be as heavy as Mount Tai or as light as a goose feather. I, Xu Que, will never give up without a fight. Hence, I started a fierce battle with them. The battle lasted for three days and three nights. Look at this scar, it was caused by a wolf … "
"Ah? There have never been any wolves in this mountain! "
"There aren't? Then they must have come from another mountain! Aiya! Don't worry about these details. The important thing is that in order not to die under their jaws, I jumped down the mountain without hesitation. I didn't expect the heavens to bless me and send a fairy to save me. Thank you. "
"Ah … I, I am not a fairy. I am Xiao Rou." The village girl's snow-white cheeks immediately turned red as she shyly lowered her head.
"It's alright, Xiao Rou. From today onwards, you are my fairy." Xu Que said affectionately.
"You … What's wrong with you, ah …" Xiao Rou was embarrassed and anxious. She covered her face and turned around to run away.
In this place, even if it was a village, the people were still very traditional.
Xu Que's words were simply flirting with her, not a compliment!
Xiao Rou was so embarrassed that she ran out of the wooden house and hid outside. She kept fanning her red cheeks with her small hands.
Xu Que, on the other hand, was lying on the wooden bed and smiling happily.
His act of acting tough was very successful and he actually gained two act tough points. That was why he praised Xiao Rou as if he was smearing honey on it.
He called out the system and his personal information interface automatically popped up.
Host: Xu Que
Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Stage Level 10 (Small Success)
Acting Tough Points: 7
Skills: 《Ancient Five Elemental Arts》 Beginner's Level
Occupation: None
Status: Prince Consort of the Eastern Continent Fire Empire
... "
"Eh?"
Xu Que suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Previously, when he looked at his own information, he was also at the tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage, but the system's evaluation of his level was Beginner. But now, it had become Small Success, which was obviously a level higher. Was it because of the continuous repair of his meridians after he broke them?
Oh, if that's the case, the suffering I suffered wasn't in vain.
Xu Que regained his composure and spoke to the system, "Activate the automatic recovery function and help me recover from my injuries."
"Ding! Automatic recovery function has been activated. One act tough point deducted."
Swoosh!
In an instant, a cool and gentle feeling spread throughout his body.
Chen Cong felt extremely comfortable, as if he was lying in a warm pool when he was the most exhausted. All the pores on his body opened up.
After a few breaths, the pain in his body gradually disappeared and his body regained its strength. He felt much stronger than before he was injured.
Xu Que smiled contentedly and jumped up from the bed. Then he clenched his fists and the muscles on his body bulged.
"Pa! Pa! Pa da! "
A series of muffled sounds could be heard as the bandages on his body broke and fell to the ground.
"Creak!"
At this time, Xiao Rou, who had calmed herself down, pushed the door open and entered.
Her gaze fell on Xu Que and her eyes widened. Her mouth opened slightly and she let out a shrill scream. Her face flushed red as she rushed out of the door.
Xu Que paused for a moment and looked down with a puzzled expression. His face turned red as well.
