"How could I possibly deserve this... Master, look at what you're saying. Well, I haven't even learned to read, but I've already started learning Dan Gong. Has all these ten years of practice been in vain? I've made some small achievements in inner alchemy!"
As he spoke, Zhang Zhiwei stretched out his index finger and thumb and made a small gesture.
Zhang Jingqing recognized Zhang Zhiwei's achievements in inner alchemy and said:
"Master knows that you have cultivated the Golden Light Mantra to the point where it can protect your internal organs and blood vessels. This is not just a small achievement; it's no exaggeration to say it's a great accomplishment. However, meridians are meridians, and blood vessels are blood vessels. The two cannot be compared. You may be able to protect your blood vessels, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can protect your meridians."
"If you want to protect your meridians, you must practice Neidan Kungfu to the point where you can break through the structure of the human body and see the gods. When you can clearly feel every meridian and every tiny acupuncture point in your body and know their functions in the body, then come and tell me about your unrealistic ideas!"
Looking at Zhang Jingqing's serious expression, Zhang Zhiwei pursed his lips and said weakly:
"Well... Master, maybe I have already reached the realm you described!"
"Um?!"
Zhang Jingqing was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He looked at Zhang Zhiwei with a strange expression, his eyes half closed, and confirmed:
"You said you've realized your own structure and cultivated to the point where you can see gods?"
Zhang Zhiwei nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Jingqing glared at him, "Don't try to deceive me. Come on, let me test you. If you can't answer, I'll punish you!"
Zhang Jingqing rolled up his sleeves and pointed to a spot on Zhang Zhiwei's upper abdomen, two inches above the navel. "What's this?"
"This is Shangqu acupoint!" said Zhang Zhiwei.
"Nonsense, master, don't you know that this is Shangqu acupoint? Master, I am asking you, what did you see at this acupoint by observing the human body structure internally?" Zhang Jingqing said.
Zhang Zhiwei said truthfully, "This acupuncture point is glowing. Moreover, every time I perform Yang Wu Lei, the Heart Fire Qi moves, and this acupuncture point becomes brighter, flickering like a figure moving. At the same time, my Qi and blood will boil even more!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jingqing's eyes darkened: "You actually cultivated to this level?"
Zhang Jingqing looked at his disciple carefully, as if he were looking at a monster.
He always knew that Zhang Zhiwei was very talented and rare in the world, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated him.
At the age of twenty, he practiced inner alchemy to the level where he could see gods. How terrifying is that?
This kind of talent, I think even if the great master were still alive, he wouldn't be any different...
Zhang Jingqing sighed inwardly, trying to suppress his surprised expression, and asked:
"When did you reach this level of cultivation?"
"About two or three years!" Zhang Zhiwei said casually.
"Two or three years?!"
Zhang Jingqing glared, using anger to mask his surprise: "You've been here for so long, and you haven't told me about this?"
"No way?"
Zhang Zhiwei quickly said, "I clearly told you that when I came to the main hall to find you that day, I told you that my Golden Light Mantra had already covered every part of my body, from inside to outside. You praised me and told me not to become complacent. Have you forgotten?"
"Yeah?"
Zhang Jingqing thought about it carefully. It seemed that he had said that, but he didn't think about it that way at the time. He just thought that Zhang Zhiwei was talking about the golden light protecting the internal organs and blood vessels, and didn't think about the tiny meridians at all. It seems that he had misunderstood at the time.
"That's vague. Be more specific next time!"
Zhang Jingqing brushed it off lightly, then continued, "The Shangqu acupoint we just mentioned is also known as the Blood Gate. It serves as the central point of Qi and blood circulation, connecting to the liver and kidneys. It can expel impurities from the body, and working in conjunction with the heart, it can unleash unprecedented potential."
"As for the acupuncture points that flickered when you were activating your Qi, and even a faint human form appeared within them, this is the vision of the God among Gods. These acupuncture points are called Gods because they control the functioning of the human body, just like the gods in heaven and earth, each performing their duties."
"The Shangqu acupoint corresponds to the human deity 'Northern Dipper True Martial God', representing martial power. Many extraordinary people, when faced with life-or-death crises, use acupuncture with golden needles to boost their combat power. The acupoint they prick is the Shangqu acupoint. However, this method is too crude. While it can increase combat power in the short term, it will cause a loss of both Qi and blood."
"However, this disadvantage does not exist for those who have broken through the human body structure and can see the gods, because they can operate very delicately and without leaving themselves with any sequelae."
"If you want to unleash your maximum strength in battle, you can intentionally activate this acupuncture point, causing it to not only flicker but completely glow. This will increase your combat power by at least 30%."
After hearing what Zhang Jingqing said, Zhang Zhiwei was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the human acupoints had this use. This way, he had another means to improve his strength.
"Oh right, since you've already reached the realm where you can see gods!" Zhang Jingqing suddenly thought of something and asked, "Tell me the truth, have you tried the reverse state of Yang Wu Lei that you mentioned?"
Zhang Zhiwei scratched his head and smiled, "Master is very wise. It really can't be hidden. I tried it briefly, but I found a problem while doing it!"
Zhang Zhiwei was just trying to describe the feeling of being dissolved when he was about to enter the reverse life state.
Zhang Jingqing raised his index finger to his lips as a gesture to keep quiet.
Zhang Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, then reacted and looked to his side.
In the woods, there was a gathering of figures, and two figures, one big and one small, walked out. They were none other than the ethereal Zuo Rutong and his apprentice Lu Jin.
"Master, you are still training your disciples in the middle of the night? What the old man said before was right. He hid such a big treasure, but only let us know about it today!" Zuo Rutong said with a smile.
"That's not true, Brother Zuo. He's just a useless and evil disciple!" Zhang Jingqing said politely.
"This is not even a good thing. Your request is too high. If you think so little of him, how about..." Zuo Rutong said with a smile: "How about giving it to me?"
Zhang Jingqing said, "Brother Zuo, you must be joking. I wonder why you are here?"
Zuo Ruotong patted Lu Jin's head and said, "My two disciples, this fool of mine lost the sparring match for no apparent reason, and after the sparring, he received no guidance. He was so angry that he broke down, crying and making a fuss. Didn't I bring him here?"
Lu Jin stammered, "Brother Zhang, you beat me during the day... uh huh... after sparring with me, you still haven't given me any advice!"
"Young Master Lu has Sect Master Zuo to guide him, so I won't interfere!" said Zhang Zhiwei.
"this……"
Lu Jin turned around to look at his master Zuo Rutong. He couldn’t take the beating in vain. Master, please support him!
