The manager of the training room was named Fu Dong. He was also a brawny man more than 2.2 meters tall. However, his arms had been torn off by demon beasts, and there were shocking wounds on his chest. On his bare shoulders, he was carrying two enormous artificial arms made of Spiritual Qi, which could be manipulated by his Spiritual Qi. When the artificial arms were opened, they could be more than two meters long.
Wu Mayan spoke to Li Yao in a low voice. Manager Fu Dong was the best tutor in the temple of techniques. Wu Mayan had been tortured by Fu Dong a lot when he was young. He was a ruthless and merciless man.
"My training room is prepared for the real tough guys. Xiong Tou talked to me last night and said that you are an out-and-out tough guy. That's why I've reserved the training room for you."
Fu Dong waved his two-meter-long iron arm and picked up training tools that looked like torture devices from the shelves nearby. He eyed Li Yao coldly and said, "If you are not, just give up as soon as possible. There are many other training rooms up there. Let's not waste each other's time."
While he was talking, he tossed a lot of metal shackles to Li Yao's front.
"The veins and nerves of human beings can be divided into the Twelve Main Veins and the Eight Extraordinary Veins. In the level of ordinary warriors, they mainly focus on the Twelve Main Veins. But when they reach the Refinement Stage, they begin to work on the Eight Extraordinary Veins."
Spiritual Qi was spurting out of Fu Dong's right arm, which was elongating nonstop. He pointed at the pictures of veins and nerves and said, "The Twelve Main Veins and the Eight Extraordinary Veins are like the aorta and veins of human beings. A lot of Spiritual Qi circulates inside the body and triggers the potential deep inside the cells.
"However. It's like there are a lot of capillaries other than the aorta and veins in between the Twelve Main Veins and the Eight Extraordinary Veins. In fact, there are countless capillaries that are as thin as hair, too.
"Cultivators discovered the existence of capillaries a long time ago. But before the apocalypse, few people paid attention to the training of capillaries, because such training is not only extremely painful, but also limited in the expansion of capillaries, which means that the amount of Spiritual Qi they can hold is limited. Instead of spending a lot of time and energy on the training of capillaries, it's better to focus on the training of capillaries. It's more cost-effective to focus on the Building Foundation Stage and the Core Formation Stage.
"However, after the apocalypse. We Qi Refiners, on the other hand, focus on the Dao of True Energy. "
"Although each of the capillary meridians is as thin as a strand of hair and can only contain a small amount of true energy, many grains of sand make a tower. Many a little makes a mickle. The twelve main meridians and the hundred extraordinary meridians add up to no more than twenty spiritual meridians, but there are thousands of capillary meridians. If the width and strength of all the capillary meridians can be increased by ten times, how much more Spiritual Qi can be stored in one's body? "
"This is the original cultivation philosophy of us Qi Refiners. After the Heavenly Tribulation. The earth was dark, demonic beasts were rampant, and inheritances were severed. We have no other choice but to focus on the cultivation of the capillary meridians. "
"Unexpectedly, we hit the jackpot by a stroke of luck. Our ancestors continuously cultivated, opening up one capillary meridian after another. In the end, he discovered the function of the capillary meridians. It connects the Twelve Main Meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. "
"Originally, everyone thought that the Twelve Main Meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were connected by the Governing and Conception Meridians. That was why there was a saying that if you opened the Governing and Conception Meridians, you could become a martial arts expert."
"But now, as long as the capillary meridians are completely opened up and strengthened, they can also play the role of connecting the two meridians."
"The stronger the capillary meridians are, the stronger the Twelve Main Meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians will become."
"In short, the cultivation of Qi Refiners is to turn all the capillary meridians in one's body into new Governing and Conception Meridians, so that there will be a hundred or a thousand Governing and Conception Meridians in one's body."
"Just opening one Governing and Conception Meridians will make you a martial arts expert. If you open all a thousand Governing and Conception Meridians, just think about it. How powerful will you be?"
"This is our path of cultivation."
"Study the pictures of the meridians on the wall carefully, especially the distribution of all the capillary meridians. Xiong Tou said that you have a certain foundation in cultivation and have already reached the 13th or 14th level of the Refinement Stage. It shouldn't be difficult for you to remember these pictures, right?"
Li Yao nodded his head and studied attentively.
Turning all the capillary meridians into Governing and Conception Meridians and opening a thousand Governing and Conception Meridians? That was rather domineering.
Five minutes later, Fu Dong picked up a bunch of training tools that looked like shackles and helped Li Yao put them on with Wu Mayan's help.
The training tools were mainly made of two bracelets and two leg cuffs. Both the bracelets and the leg cuffs were clumsy, heavy, and dark. There was no telling what they were made of, but each of them weighed at least two hundred and fifty kilograms. Spiritual gas pressure gauges were welded to them, and they were full of gears and valves. They gave off a messy and rough feeling.
Li Yao warmed up his arms and legs casually. Although he was carrying a thousand kilograms of weight, he did not feel much of it for someone who was used to weight training. His punches were as fast as before.
Seeing that he was perfectly fine, Fu Dong was slightly surprised, but he did not say anything. He simply said, "Such Spiritual Gas Locks are the best magical equipment to open up the capillary meridians. As long as the magical equipment is activated, the hollow needles inside the bracelets and the leg cuffs will stab into your body and inject hundreds of streams of compressed spiritual gas into your capillary meridians.
"On one hand, it is to help you expand your capillary meridians. On the other hand, it is to trigger the spiritual gas inside your body to resist the invading spiritual gas.
"Both the expansion of the capillary meridians and the fierce battle between the two streams of spiritual gas inside and outside of your body are extremely painful and unbearable for ordinary people.
"The young men of the Furious Bear Tribe have been training since they were young. They have to clear their veins bit by bit. Every day, they only clear a few of their veins. That's the only reason why a small number of determined and talented people can persist and become Qi Trainers."
"According to Boss Xiong, you want to take part in the battle of the apocalypse in a month. Therefore, you want to improve your capability as much as possible. I wonder if you have received any training with Spiritual Gas Locks before. But whether or not you have, one month is too short a time."
Fu Dong mumbled for a while and fetched more than ten True Qi balloons together with Wu Mayan.
Li Yao noticed that the pressure gauges on all the True Qi balloons were above 95, indicating that they were all advanced True Qi balloons that could be put into real battles.
Every Spiritual Gas Lock was riddled with several holes through which the True Qi balloons could be connected. However, the airtightness of the holes was not very good. White air currents were spurting out in squeaking noises. A moment later, Li Yao was enshrouded in mist and spiritual gas.
"There is a pressure-adjusting device on the Spiritual Gas Locks. Look. As long as you turn the gear like this, you will be able to adjust the intensity and speed of your spiritual gas.
"One time of standard pressure equals to the intensity of all the spiritual gas that a middle-level True Qi balloon can unleash in ten minutes at a uniform speed.
"At the beginning, I suggest that you train with one third of the standard pressure. If it is too much for you, one fifth of the standard pressure will do too.
"After your body is used to it, you can increase the pressure slowly. From two times, to five times, to ten times. This set of Spiritual Gas Locks is prepared for experts. The highest pressure you can achieve is thirty times.
"Remember, do not increase the pressure recklessly, because such a training process is like pumping air into your body nonstop. You must keep your head in the clearest state and guide the spiritual gas into your veins consciously. If your head is dizzy because of the pain, the spiritual gas will run amok inside your body. You may be mentally deranged if you are lucky, or one of your limbs may explode if you are serious."
Fu Dong explained solemnly.
Wu Mayan interjected, "If you can bear the pressure, you can also train your fleshly body with the training devices. The effect will be better if you work together."
"Who said that?"
Fu Dong glared at him and said angrily, "This is a very advanced training method that only the real experts can use. Do you think that other people are the same as you, a little monster whose spiritual root was awakened at the age of ten?"
Li Yao nodded, indicating that he understood.
Fu Dong extended one finger and said, "I'll say it one last time. Signal me immediately if you can't bear the pressure. I'm going to open the valve."
Li Yao raised his hands and looked at him calmly.
Next door to the training room, Xiong Wuji and Sha Yulan were observing Li Yao through a one-way mirror.
Next to Sha Yulan was a giant medical kit, in which all kinds of drugs were emitting intense fragrance.
She glanced at Xiong Wuji and said, "I'm here to rescue someone. What are you doing here?"
His hands behind his back, Xiong Wuji said casually, "Observation. Only when a person is in excruciating pain can they reveal their true nature. This matter concerns the fate of Iron Plateau. I cannot entrust it to a cowardly, useless, and weak-minded person."
"I don't care how much pain he can bear. I only want to see how he is going to bear the pain."
Sha Yulan shuddered. She said softly, "Big Xiong, are you really ready? Once the operation is launched, it is very likely that you will turn from the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau, the great hero that everybody admires, into a rat that everybody hates and despises and the greatest traitor of the six tribes of Iron Plateau. "
Xiong Wuji was silent for a long time. Then he said, "Maybe I'm not ready yet. But since the heavens have sent such a man to me, I have no choice but to launch the operation."
Sha Yulan asked, "Are you not scared that your reputation will be ruined and that you will die without a burial place?"
Xiong Wuji took a deep breath. His eyes that were staring at Li Yao were deep and gloomy. He replied briefly, "Everything is for survival."
Sha Yulan smiled bitterly. She lowered her head and said, "Then, let the two of us be ruined together and die without a burial place."
Their hands, one big and one small, one black and one white, were entangled with each other.
On the other side of the one-way mirror, Fu Dong opened the valve on the True Qi Lock brutally.
Earsplitting shrieks were echoing from the joints of the True Qi Lock. Streams of spiritual gas were darting more than ten meters away like white arrows.
One third of the standard spiritual gas was blown into Li Yao's body.
