Chapter 47: Chapter 33 Reading Scriptures
After being out for a month, there was quite a bit of dust accumulated in the house, so after spending some time cleaning, Lu Yuan felt hungry.
He cooked two pounds of bacon and ate it, then he took a shower and began practicing his internal martial arts.
He didn’t know how profound the Internal Cultivation Method of the Cloud Palm was, as he had no other techniques to compare it with.
However, based on his own experience, he felt that this method was, without a doubt, on par with the level of the palm technique, simply a second-rate technique.
Since he comprehended the first meridian and started cultivation, Lu Yuan made sure to cultivate for at least two hours every day.
However, from October last year to February this year, five whole months had passed, and his cultivation of the first meridian still only achieved an initial clearing effect.
He was not much stronger now than when he just started to train his Inner Qi.
The attribute template in Lu Yuan’s mind was not in specific numbers, but in realms such as perfect, minor success, major success, and so on.
But as the actual practitioner of the technique, he had some idea of the precise progress of his cultivation.
At the moment, he was cultivating the Hand’s Taiyin Lung Meridian, which had eleven acupuncture points in total: Middle Mansion, Cloud Gate, Heavenly Palace, Horizontal White, Cubit Marsh, Maximum Hole, Insufficient Hole, Channel Gutter, Great Abyss, Fish Border, and Lesser Shang.
Up until now, besides the Lesser Shang point that he unlocked when he first started cultivating Inner Qi,
In five months, Lu Yuan had only managed to unlock the second point, the Fish Border.
As for the third point, the Great Abyss, he estimated that it would take about three more months to unlock.
This meant that it would likely take about four months for Lu Yuan to unlock one acupoint.
It would take a total of forty-four months, or about three and a half years, for the entire Hand’s Taiyin Lung Meridian.
“Using three and a half years to complete one meridian, this kind of progress…”
Lu Yuan calculated the number of the meridians he needed to practice. One meridian would take three and a half years, and there were twelve ordinary meridians. Multiplying the time would result in forty-two years.
In other words, it would roughly take him forty-two years to complete the twelve ordinary meridians.
Then there were the eight bizarre meridians and the two primary meridians.
It was feared that it would take at least a hundred years to complete these ten additional meridians and fully open all the meridians in his body.
“In a hundred years, a person would already be dead.”
Lu Yuan imagined an old man who had achieved Great Martial Arts Achievement and shook his head at the thought.
Even if he achieved great martial arts success, he probably would only have a couple of years left to enjoy it.
Would it even be possible to boss around the martial arts world for a couple of years?
Furthermore, would it be possible to kidnap righteous heroines from famous sects or the demonesses from evil cults? It was not known whether or not he would even have the strength, so what was the point?
“No, I am immortal. My lifespan is unlimited. Even after a hundred years, I’ll still be youthful, and my strength will not be inferior to my younger self. In tn1S case, spending a nunarecl years practlcmg Internal martial arts doesn’t seem like an issue.” He suddenly remembered this and immediately felt happier.
As the saying goes,
When you’re unhappy, you tend to feel better when you see others who are more unhappy than you.
At this moment, as an immortal, Lu Yuan felt entitled to be happier than ordinary martial artists in the Jianghu.
“Besides, my talent should be considered neither too poor nor too good.
From the martial arts experts I’ve encountered, the strongest among them should be Ma Jiqing from the beginning.
However, at twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, he only reached the peak of third-rate strength, probably training no more than five meridians.
It would only take me fifteen years to achieve this level.
In this way, my cultivation talent should belong to the ordinary or intermediate level.
Not a genius, but not a fool either. That’s not bad.”
Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
As an immortal, he only hoped his talent wasn’t at the level of hopeless stupidity.
As long as his abilities allowed him to cultivate, everything else could be accomplished through his endless lifespan.
He, as a lofty immortal, wouldn’t need to compete with those short-lived individuals for temporary gains and losses.
Cultivating his inner strength for two hours, Lu Yuan felt that his acupoints had cleared up somewhat, and he felt closer to unlocking the Great Abyss point. With that, he went to sleep satisfied.
The next day,
After having breakfast, he went to the town bookstore and bought some quality stationery. With the gift in hand, he went to visit Sun Siwen.
Upon arriving at Sun Siwen’s house, he found that he was not the earliest guest.
“Brother Lu is here.”
Welcoming Lu Yuan in, Sun Siwen looked very happy and warmly introduced him, saying, “Come, Brother Lu, let me introduce you to my friend.”
He pointed to a male scholar in blue clothes beside him, “This is Xu Ce, Brother Xu from the Xu Family in town. He’s my classmate. He passed the scholar examination seven years ago and is a famous talent in the county.”
After that, he turned to Xu Ce and said, “Brother Xu, this is Brother Lu Yuan, my good friend. Although he appears to be a hunter, his martial arts skills are extremely high, and he’s a hermit of our town.”
Lu Yuan looked at Sun Siwen up and down. His complexion was rosy, and he looked radiant, vastly different from the gloomy and melancholy appearance two months earlier.
‘It seems that after obtaining his long-awaited desire, Brother Sun has left behind his previous troubles, and he has changed for the better as well.’
With a smile on his face, he bowed his hand to Xu Ce next to him and said, “Brother Xu. ”
The Xu Family was the most prominent family in the town, with 300 acres of fertile land, and they also owned two shops in town and even a wine shop in the city. Their wealth and social status were far beyond that of Lu Yuan and Sun Siwen, so they hardly ever interacted..
