Although condensing Dharma Meridians was a sign of advancing to the Fasting Stage, the number of Dharma Meridians one could condense was the key to one's future achievements. This was because the process of condensing Dharma Meridians was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a cultivator. Once one came out of seclusion, unless one had some kind of heaven-defying treasure or some kind of fortuitous encounter, one could forget about condensing Dharma Meridians.
The number of Dharma Meridians one could condense was mainly determined by the amount of Dharma Qi in one's body and whether one could absorb Spiritual Qi from Heaven and Earth in the process of condensing Dharma Meridians. Of course, it would be best if one had a suitable elixir to supplement it. The first two were naturally related to one's cultivation method and talent.
According to the nameless cultivation method, under normal circumstances, an ordinary cultivator could condense two to six Dharma Meridians without the help of external forces. Unless one had a Dao Body, it was rare for one to condense eight or more Dharma Meridians. Even if one had a Dao Body, it would not exceed twelve Dharma Meridians.
No matter what, no cultivator would complain about having too many Dharma Meridians. They would always want to seize this opportunity to condense as many Dharma Meridians as possible. Excessive greed was probably the reason why many Qi Condensation Stage cultivators were unable to advance to the Fasting Stage and were instead heavily injured.
Shen Luo recalled this information in his mind and continued to urge his Dharma Qi to nourish the newly born Yangming Large Intestine Meridian of Hand. At the same time, he once again activated his cultivation method and began to reconstruct the Hand's Three Yang Meridian of Hand's Three Yang Meridian.
The Hand's Three Yang Meridian, along with the Hand's Three Yin, Foot's Three Yang and Foot's Three Yin, belonged to the Twelve Meridians of the human body. Like the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, they all used the Dantian as the hub. Because most cultivation methods required the use of both hands, when most cultivators condensed Dharma Meridians, they would naturally prioritize the Hand's Three Yang and Hand's Three Yin meridians that could increase the speed and power of the hands.
Just like this, time passed little by little as the meridians were continuously destroyed and reconstructed.
During this time, Shen Luo successively reconstructed the Hand's Three Yang and Hand's Three Yin meridians in succession. Moreover, he succeeded in each of them on his first try, which greatly increased his confidence. Although he knew that he should not be greedy, under the circumstances of repeatedly confirming that his Dantian and absorbing Dharma Qi could keep up, he still planned to continue trying to reconstruct the Foot's Three Yang and and Foot's Meridians.
Half a month later, early in the morning.
In Shen Luo's courtyard, a clear and carefree howl tore through the sky, and it continued for the time for half an incense stick to burn before it gradually stopped.
In the pool beside the well, Shen Luo stood with his legs apart. His hands were clenched into fists and placed on his waist. He slowly lowered his head. His eyes were unusually bright.
Just now, he had successfully condensed the last meridian of the Foot's Minor Yin's Kidney Meridian. At this point, he had condensed a total of 12 meridians.
In other words, he could now cast spells with his hands six times more powerful than before. His casting speed had also increased by more than 60%. Moreover, his feet had also been improved. If he used the Water Treading Technique, he should be able to run against the current for several hours!
"I never thought that the body in the dream could reach such a level! It's about time for Gu Mai to come out. " Shen Luo murmured a few times. He guessed that this might be due to the fact that his absorption speed of Heaven and Earth's spiritual energy was much faster than that of a top-level Taoist body.
However, just as he was about to draw out his mana to nourish the new meridians, his expression suddenly changed.
The mana that had just calmed down in his energy center had unknowingly left his control and started to circulate on its own, turning into a whirlpool.
Moreover, it was circulating faster and faster. In two or three breaths, it had reached several times its previous speed.
"What's going on now?" Shen Luo suppressed the panic in his heart and tried his best to circulate his energy. He wanted to stabilize the surging mana in his dantian. Otherwise, if something were to happen to his dantian at this critical moment, the mana meridians that had not been completely stabilized could collapse. Everything from before would be for naught.
However, the mana whirlpool in his energy center had already gone out of control and did not listen to him at all.
"Could it be that I was too greedy and caused a backlash?"
When Shen Luo thought of this possibility, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his back became even more drenched in cold sweat.
But at this moment, the mana whirlpool in his energy center trembled violently. Then, a series of "puff" "puff" sounds were heard. Balls of blue liquid formed by mana appeared one after another and turned into a hot current that flowed into the meridians in his body.
"Eight Extraordinary Meridians? Could it be … "Shen Luo felt the eight meridians in his body that were rapidly flowing with mana and was shocked.
These eight meridians were the Conception Meridian, Governing Meridian, Chong Meridian, and Girdle Meridian. They were distributed to all the vital acupoints in the body and interconnected with the twelve meridians. They almost ran through the entire body.
He suddenly thought about it. These eight meridians were not the same as the twelve meridians. If the latter were to break or cause serious injuries, they could still be slowly recovered. If the former were to break and not be repaired in time, they would die on the spot.
When this thought came up, he couldn't help but become more afraid.
But before he could make the slightest reaction, a soul-tearing pain suddenly emerged. His body twitched like a sieve. He held his head with both hands but couldn't make the slightest sound. He almost fainted.
However, in the next moment, a wave of cool and refreshing energy flowed out from these eight shattered meridians, causing Shen Luo to feel indescribably comfortable. However, soon after, his body started to twitch again, and an intense pain that was even more intense than before assaulted him …
In the following time, Shen Luo was constantly hovering between life and death like this. He repeated this for a total of nine times before he stopped.
At this time, Shen Luo's whole body was limp in the pool. His face was pale and he couldn't move at all.
After half an hour, his face recovered a little bit of color. He was finally able to use his arms to support his body and sit up with difficulty.
At this time, the pain all over his body had disappeared. The surging mana in his energy center had also finally calmed down.
He hurriedly sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath. He was anxious to see what was happening in his body.
As a result, he just closed his eyes for a short while and opened them again. His eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"Twenty meridians, it's actually twenty meridians! I'm not dreaming, right? No, I'm dreaming, but … so what? "Shen Luo was so excited that he was about to dance for joy.
Then he closed his eyes again, guarded his energy center, and slightly operated the nameless cultivation method. Suddenly, a series of crackling sounds came from all over his body. His sitting figure suddenly grew a few inches.
And in front of and behind his body, crystal clear blue light ribbons emerged one after another. There were a total of twenty ribbons. They intertwined with each other, running through his limbs and head. There was a faint blue light flowing among them.
These blue light ribbons, no matter how complicated they were, were connected to the energy center in his lower abdomen. They were the twenty meridians that Shen Luo condensed.
