His muscles were filled with Blood Qi.
The medicinal energy from the Meridian Unblocking Pill had already begun to flow through his meridians, but Su Fang controlled it and merged it with his Blood Qi, officially beginning to flow in reverse.
When most of the Blood Qi in his body stopped, it began to slowly flow in reverse along with the Immortal Pill's medicinal energy. At first, it was almost impossible to make the Blood Qi flow in reverse.
All of the energy and breathing in the human body were regulated and formed a cycle.
Flowing the Blood Qi in reverse was the same as going against the body.
Originally, he wanted to go east, but Su Fang had to control his Blood Qi to go west.
Because of this, the Blood Qi and the various energies in the body and the inner walls of the meridians would cause friction and collision. Not only was it difficult to advance even a little bit, but the Blood Qi would also rush against the inner walls of the meridians, as if it wanted to tear the meridians apart.
If not for the Meridian Unblocking Pill's medicinal energy, Su Fang would have been in even more pain.
Breaking through the meridians, forcefully breaking through the meridians.
For some reason, many wild animals appeared outside the cave, ranging from small rabbits to large wild boars. Yang Yizhen had only lightly grabbed at the air and so many wild animals had appeared as if he was performing a magic trick.
Yang Yizhen was currently standing on the snowy ground. His body was completely weightless, because his feet had not stepped into the snow. His black robes were fluttering in the cold wind.
This time, he did not use a black cloth to cover his face, but a black hood that completely covered his head. Only a pair of deep and calm eyes could be seen.
"With such perseverance, my good disciple will definitely become a great person in the future."
Yang Yizhen waited for a while, then suddenly waved his hand. A large net-like white net sucked in all the wild animals and immediately flew with him into the depths of the forest to his left.
After a few breaths, he saw the temple and the Family Su youths patrolling the area.
He immediately sucked in a large amount of wild animals, causing them to fall onto the snowy ground.
"There's movement. Let's go take a look."
Su Yi just happened to be patrolling the forest in front of them. After hearing the noise, they slowly approached with crossbows in hand. When they saw the wild animals all over the ground, they were stunned.
"Brother Yi, there's so much wild animals. Could it be that Su Fang killed them?" One of the youths was drooling.
"Of course it's Su Fang. Otherwise, in this world of ice and snow, who would help us? But why hasn't Su Fang appeared?"
Su Yi scanned his surroundings and did not see anyone. He no longer had any doubts and immediately organized his prey.
Meanwhile, Yang Yizhen was currently standing on the snowy ground several zhang in front of them, but in front of these youngsters, he was like an invisible person. He slowly turned around, and with a few steps, he silently disappeared into the snowy sky.
"So painful. I didn't think it would be so difficult to break through the meridians in reverse."
Because he was focused on his cultivation, time passed very quickly. When Su Fang felt that he couldn't hold on any longer, he stopped. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Yang Yizhen sitting cross-legged in front of him, calmly sizing him up.
"Disciple, rumor has it that cultivation in the Ancient Era was originally not easy to cultivate. Otherwise, it would not have been gradually abandoned by other cultivators. You've already gained something by persevering for a few days. It's just that your meridians are too twisted. If you rely solely on your own efforts, you'll need at least one year, and at most two years to successfully break through all the meridians in your body." Yang Yizhen immediately consoled him.
It seemed that he had been paying attention to every little change in Su Fang.
It was also because of this that Su Fang's heart surged with waves of warmth.
Ever since his clan's incident and his grandfather's sudden death, he had not been able to relax for a bit. Right now, he was very comfortable because someone was concerned about him.
The firewood crackled as it burned. This pair of master and disciple sat on the ground quietly and naturally like this.
Yang Yizhen suddenly opened his left hand and a dark red wooden box appeared. "As for your clan's food problem, you don't need to think about it. I've already brought a lot of prey to them. In these few days, I've specially refined a few Gu worms for you."
"Thank you, master. What is a Gu worm?" Su Fang opened his eyes wide and asked.
That wooden box seemed to be a treasure. There were even more treasures that mortals could not see inside.
"Gu worms grow in the distant Southern Border. How far is that? Even if a mortal walked their entire lives, they still wouldn't be able to reach the Southern Border. Even some of the more powerful cultivators would have to spend a long time. Fortunately, there are many trading companies that sell Gu worms. I've heard that Gu worms are carefully raised by Southern Border cultivators using corpses or special food.
"There are many rumors about Gu worms. Of course, there are also people who say that Southern Border cultivators plant Gu worms in the bodies of babies from birth, allowing them to grow up into Gu worms. In short, it's not true. The more rumors there are, the more extraordinary a Gu worm is. I was also very curious about Gu worms, so I researched them for a period of time. One time, I was poisoned and had to rely on a Gu worm to detoxify it.
"Gu worms are mostly used by cultivators to detoxify poisons, experiment with medicinal pills, and so on. A portion of people also use them for cultivation. There are many different cultivation methods. Your meridians are twisted and blocked, so you need to use strength to cleanse your marrow. Only then can they be reformed. You're also an ancient body cultivator, so normal methods are not suitable for you. That's why I thought of using Gu worms to coordinate with your cultivation. When you reverse the flow of your blood, it can enter your meridians and unblock your meridians."
Yang Yizhen calmly explained to the box.
So Gu worms were so extraordinary. Su Fang was still in a daze.
The latter slowly opened the wooden box. There was an indescribable smell of medicinal herbs coming from inside. There were three slightly wriggling black worms. They were only about an inch long and were much smaller than normal caterpillars.
Gu worms had no body hair and were fleshy. They looked a bit like newly born silkworms, but they were black.
Yang Yizhen continued, "Don't be afraid. It looks a bit disgusting, but it's nothing to cultivators. Drip three drops of blood on each of the three worms and let them get used to your blood first."
Su Fang was indeed a bit uneasy. Who would let live worms enter their body?
But on one hand, he believed in Yang Yizhen. He was his master and like a father. On the other hand, the Mortal Realm was so difficult to cultivate. If he didn't use this method, it would really be difficult for him to reach the Great Circle in three years.
Without any hesitation, he pricked his finger and a drop of blood immediately appeared. He then dripped it on one of the Gu worms, followed by the second and the third.
At first, the Gu worms were still lazy. But after absorbing the blood, they started to become active as if they were looking for a host of fresh blood.
"Disciple, these three Gu worms are larvae that have never been bloodthirsty. The Gu worms also have a flaw. Once they are stained with someone's blood for the first time, they will never devour a second person's blood for the rest of their lives. So, only you can use these three Gu worms in the future. Now, close your eyes. In your current state, it's best not to look."
"Okay!"
Su Fang knew that the Gu worms were about to enter his body and was trembling.
After all, they were living worms that were bloodthirsty. Anyone would be afraid of them.
Yang Yizhen first poked Su Fang's shoulder and then put the worms into his mouth one by one. Su Fang didn't have any reaction to this. It was as if he didn't feel anything.
After a while, Yang Yizhen poked him again. Su Fang slowly looked at the wooden box, but he couldn't see the three Gu worms. It seemed that the Gu worms had already entered his body, but he didn't feel anything.
"The Gu worms are very docile, so you don't have to worry about that. Furthermore, they aren't very bloodthirsty. Right now, you just need to focus your mind on sensing the Gu worms. Because I made the Gu worms consume a bit of the Meridian Unlocking Pill's medicinal powder, the Gu worms will search for the Meridian Unlocking Pill's aura within your body. You just need to focus the medicinal power of the pill on your meridians. This way, the Gu worms will slowly crawl through your meridians on their own. I estimate that in half a year, the three Gu worms will naturally open up your meridians.
Su Fang slowly adjusted his breathing and calmed himself down. Then, he slowly sensed the medicinal power of the Channel Unblocking Pill into his meridians. Then, he used his muscles to control his blood.
He sensed for more than half a day. Sure enough, he felt three slight tearing pains coming from his lower abdomen. As time passed, he could feel the pain slowly moving. It seemed that the three Gu worms were beginning to enter his meridians.
It was too miraculous. He didn't need to do anything, but his twisted and blocked meridians would become comfortable after a few months.
However, he was an ancient body refiner. He couldn't wait like this. He had to continue breaking through his meridians in reverse.
Since the Gu worms would crawl in his meridians on their own, he didn't need to care about them. He began to control his blood and slowly let it flow in reverse through his meridians.
How difficult it was to go against the current? One could imagine how difficult it was to break through his meridians in reverse.
This was the difference between the Hundred Apertures Bloodline. It was also an ancient body refiner's technique that suited Su Fang's situation.
Because Su Fang had taken the Channel Unblocking Pill, he didn't feel hungry even though he hadn't eaten for several days. Moreover, his body's condition was very good. It seemed that he always had inexhaustible energy.
The blood and Qi slowly flowed in reverse through his meridians. It was very difficult at first, but after a month, Su Fang adapted from the pain. During this process, there would be dark blood seeping out of his pores from time to time. This was the effect of breaking through his meridians in reverse.
This was cleansing the body. With the assistance of the Channel Unblocking Pill, the effects of Su Fang's meridians were getting better day by day.
Yang Yizhen was either looking after Su Fang in the cave or going out once every few days. Naturally, it was to hunt. For the time being, he was taking care of Su Fang's Family Su.
"Master, I can already feel that a part of my meridians is unblocked. There is blood and Qi flowing in the direction of the circulatory cycle."
After an unknown amount of time, Su Fang suddenly opened his eyes in excitement.
Yang Yizhen also seemed to have stopped cultivating. His eyes revealed a confident smile: "Sometimes, Gu worms are just that useful. They are superior to panaceas and miraculous medicines. Of course, this is inseparable from your daily cultivation. Work hard, strive to successfully break through your meridians within three months. When your meridians return to normal, you'll become a cultivator!"
"This disciple won't disappoint Master." Su Fang continued to sit cross-legged and began to break through his meridians in reverse.
After more than a month of breaking through his meridians, he could feel that the scene of his blood and Qi breaking through his meridians was like wave after wave of blood-colored waves crashing against the shore in reverse. Although the pain didn't stop, after each impact, he felt that his Qi had an illusion that it was returning to his meridians.
Because of this, more impurities in his body were being expelled.
Most cultivators used methods such as Channel Unblocking Pills to cleanse their meridians. Very few chose to use their own physical strength to forcefully cleanse their meridians.
The Hundred Apertures Bloodline was an ancient body refining cultivation method that abandoned all medicinal pills and external forces. It relied on one's own strength to cleanse their meridians.
Once they succeeded in cleansing their meridians, their physical body would reach the realm of great perfection.
The heavy snow never stopped for a day. It was almost impossible to see the mountains and forests. The world was a vast expanse of white.
"It's been three months."
In the wind and snow, Yang Yizhen slowly walked over. He wasn't affected by the wind and snow. His eyes revealed a sense of urgency. "Fang 'er should be about to succeed. Although his body can only withstand three Gu worms."
He didn't know where Yang Yizhen went. He was a bit travel-worn.
When he returned to the cave, he suddenly revealed a pleasantly surprised smile.
Under his observation, white smoke would occasionally come out of Su Fang's head. Moreover, the color of his skin would regularly change from blood to red.
Again and again, Su Fang felt that there were streaks of blood-colored light flickering in his body from time to time.
