Chapter 5 Attempting to Create Cultivation Techniques
Since the rakshasa evil was suppressed yesterday, Yu Xiaogang's image in Bibi Dong's heart became increasingly complex; at times she loved him, at times she hated him, it was very conflicted.
As Bai Yu successfully absorbed his spirit ring, Bibi Dong's expression returned to calm: "How is it? What's your spirit power level now? And your Spirit Ability?"
Bai Yu looked at Bibi Dong: "Teacher, it's just as I expected, a support system spirit power amplification. The only thing is, when I use the Spirit Ability, I need to make my Spirit touch the other person. My spirit power level is thirteen."
"That's a problem, but for your second spirit ring, you can try a Parasite-type Spirit Ability. Parasiting your Spirit onto a teammate should solve this issue," Bibi Dong said indifferently, looking at Bai Yu.
"Teacher is right, thank you for your guidance."
Bai Yu put away his Spirit and bowed to Bibi Dong, muttering in his heart: "He's quite intelligent, so how could he be completely deceived by Yu Xiaogang's ridiculous theories? Did she learn it later?"
Bibi Dong turned and walked out of the forest: "Alright, we've wasted a lot of time, it's time to go back. Once we're in Spirit City, I'll have Nana take you to the Spirit Master Academy. From now on, you'll study there during the day."
"Yes, Teacher."
...
"Wow, is this where Teacher used to live? It's so big!" Hu Liena looked around the Holy Maiden Hall, her expression full of novelty.
"Speaking of which, Teacher is so biased. The place I live is far worse than yours. I heard this used to be the Holy Maiden Hall. Little Yu, are you going to be the Holy Son in the future?"
Bai Yu's expression was helpless. After obtaining his spirit ring and returning to Spirit City, having lunch with Hu Liena, and then going to the Spirit Academy to complete the procedures, it was already getting late.
He just wanted to get back and rest early, but who knew Hu Liena, hearing he was staying in the Holy Maiden Hall, insisted on coming to take a look.
"Nana, whether I become the Holy Son isn't up to me. If you think your living situation isn't good, you can apply for a transfer."
Hu Liena rolled around on the bed: "I wouldn't dare. Teacher is very scary. How about letting me stay here tonight? Also, Little Yu, you should call me Senior Sister, got it?"
"Teacher, you're here."
Bai Yu's soft words were like a thunderclap in Hu Liena's ears. She jolted, bounced off the bed with a thud, looked at the door in terror, and muttered in a low voice: "Teacher, I was wrong..."
"Oh? Nana, is Teacher very scary?" Bibi Dong slowly walked over and looked at Hu Liena.
Hu Liena shook her head frantically: "No, no, how could Teacher be scary? Teacher is so beautiful, so, so..."
"Alright, Nana, you go back first. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come ask Teacher." Bibi Dong glanced at Bai Yu, who was trying to hold back his laughter, and then turned to Hu Liena.
"Yes, Teacher, Nana is leaving now." Hu Liena ran out as if her backside was on fire.
Bibi Dong looked at Bai Yu: "Release your Spirit, continue cultivating."
"Yes, Teacher."
...
"Sigh, I wonder if it will work this time? If not, my meridians will be damaged again." Bai Yu's face was pale, and he scratched his head with some irritation.
Over the past month or so, besides releasing Hong Ming Knife every night to cultivate with Bibi Dong for a while, most of his remaining time was spent on realizing his dream from before Spirit awakening: creating cultivation techniques.
However, the results were not satisfactory. Although the spirit power circulation combined with the guiding movements could indeed absorb the power of heaven and earth.
But the power of heaven and earth would not directly convert into spirit power; instead, it would rampage within his body. During his first attempt, due to lack of experience, he almost shattered his meridians.
After treatment, it took him a week to recover. When Bibi Dong asked, he made up a half-baked excuse and was scolded by Bibi Dong.
During this time, Bai Yu re-examined the spirit power circulation routes of normal Spirit Masters.
After careful deliberation, he found that when Spirit Masters cultivate, their spirit power always originates from the Dantian, starting with the Ren Meridian, passing through other meridians, and finally returning to the Dantian from the Du Meridian.
And because the attributes of Spirits vary, or rather, each has its shortcomings, the spirit power circulation, apart from the Ren and Du Meridians, also varies. The twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians were not all unblocked.
Based on this situation, Bai Yu envisioned guiding the power of heaven and earth.
Starting from the Ren Meridian, passing through the twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, and then converging back to the Dantian from the Du Meridian, circulating endlessly, forming a Great Heavenly Cycle.
The prerequisite for this method was to unblock the clogged meridians, allowing spirit power to flow through them.
Bai Yu stood in the courtyard, looking at the moon in the sky: "The moon is at its zenith, the power of Yin is strongest. I can start trying now."
Taking a deep breath, Bai Yu slowly danced in the courtyard. As Bai Yu moved, the moonlight in the sky seemed to condense onto his body; with every movement, light shimmered.
And within Bai Yu's body, the power of Yin slowly surged with his spirit power, opening up the blocked meridians within the eight extraordinary meridians.
...
"Hahaha, it worked, I, the Taoist master, succeeded! Bai Yujing, I... cough cough, I can't shout that." Bai Yu excitedly waved his arms.
In the past hour, Bai Yu's theory had succeeded.
During the process where the spirit power circulation drove the power of Yin to impact the blocked meridians, it not only unblocked the meridians but also allowed the power of Yin to transform into spirit power.
Just one hour of cultivation was roughly equivalent to three days of meditation. Because of the power of Yin, his spirit power even acquired a cold attribute.
"What a pity, I can only cultivate for one hour each day, otherwise I'll freeze and damage my body."
Bai Yu exhaled a puff of cold air, regained his composure, and walked into the hall: "Tomorrow during the day, I'll try to guide the power of the Sun and see what happens."
...
The next day at noon, Bai Yu lay expressionlessly in the Spirit Academy's infirmary, looking at Hu Liena and the other two who were trying to suppress their laughter beside him.
"I say, Little Yu, how did you injure yourself again? And it's always meridian damage. How do you do it?" Hu Liena looked at Bai Yu with curiosity.
Hu Liena's words made Yan unable to hold it in anymore: "Pfft, Little Yu, if you keep this up, the Spirit Master healers at the Spirit Academy might not be able to save you! Goodness, you've been injured twice in your meridians in just over a month since enrollment?"
Bai Yu turned his head, buried his face in the quilt, and muffled: "What do you know? I am a Divinity reborn. I am merely recovering my cultivation. What are these injuries? Just a bit of hardship!"
"Pffthahaha," in an instant, the infirmary was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
"Oh, then, this Divinity reborn, can you tell this seat why you're lying in a hospital bed?" As a clear yet Charm-filled voice sounded, the room fell silent.
Bai Yu turned his head awkwardly: "Teacher, this was just an accident, it won't happen again."
Indeed, although the daytime attempt failed—guiding the power of the Sun to continue opening the meridian from last night—it caused the Yin-cold energy remaining in the meridian from last night to riot, resulting in meridian damage.
But in the clash between Yang fire and Yin cold, Bai Yu understood the path forward.
During the day, when the sun is at its zenith, guide the power of the Sun to impact the twelve main meridians. At night, when the moon is at its zenith, guide the power of Yin to impact the eight extraordinary meridians.
During this period, expend effort to control and allow the two types of spirit power to circulate independently within the Dantian, without interfering with each other.
Until all meridians are unblocked, then in the early morning when the sun rises and the moon sets, and in the evening when the moon rises and the sun sets, the guiding movements of Yin and Yang cooperate.
Allowing Yin and Yang power to circulate simultaneously, starting from the Dantian, passing through the Ren Meridian, the twelve main meridians, and the eight extraordinary meridians, and then returning to the Dantian from the Du Meridian, forming a Great Heavenly Cycle.
From this point, Yin and Yang converge and circulate endlessly.
...
Bibi Dong walked over and extended her hand to examine Bai Yu's injuries: "I can tell you have your own ideas. Although I don't know what you're up to, meridian damage is very serious. If it happens too often, it can even leave hidden injuries that are difficult to heal."
"Yes, Teacher, this disciple knows his mistake."
What could he do? He could only bow his head and admit his mistake. Yesterday Bai Yujing, today falling into a pit, Bai Yu was extremely embarrassed.
Bibi Dong turned to Hu Liena and the other two: "Nana, are your lessons finished for today?"
Hu Liena's body instantly tensed: "Yes, Teacher, the morning lessons are finished. We still have practical combat class this afternoon."
"Mm, good. You three go out first."
"Yes, Teacher (Your Holiness)."
Bibi Dong turned to Bai Yu: "You rest well. This seat will leave first."
"Okay, Teacher, take care."
Looking at Bibi Dong's retreating figure, Bai Yu once again pondered the feasibility of the Great Heavenly Cycle.
