Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

Huang Jingyu saw that Brother Qiao was in such a state and his master was still teasing him, so he couldn't help stamping his feet and said coquettishly: "Master, you talk too much nonsense, can you save him?"

"Yes! I can save him. How could there be an injury that I can't cure?" Ancestor Shuangjue glared, quite unhappy with his disciple's lack of trust in him.

"This kid is lucky. There happens to be a plant of Seven-Leafed Gan Yuan Jing here. Not only will it be of great benefit to his illness, but it may even turn out to be a blessing in disguise and help him gain a few years of strength for free!"

"That's good. Eh? Aren't you going to use the Seven-Leaf Gan Yuan Essence to make medicine for that Shushan disciple in a hundred days?" Huang Jingyu asked in surprise.

"Use it first, and then use other medicines to make a pill for him. It will increase his internal strength for two to three years!" The old ancestor said casually, breaking his own rules again and again without any bottom line.

"Only increase your skills for two or three years? Isn't that too little? Aren't you afraid that people will say you are ruining your reputation?" Huang Jingyu said.

"What are you smashing? When did I ever smash a sign? The fact that his power didn't increase much is because he's useless and can't absorb the medicinal properties. Do you blame me?"

The old ancestor spread his hands and looked nonchalant. Those bastards from Shushan were cheated, so it was fine. There was no psychological pressure at all!

"Yes, yes, Master is wise. It's definitely not our medicine that's bad. If there's a problem, it must be his own problem!" Huang Jingyu smiled widely, his eyes curved and narrowed into a crescent.

"Alright, alright, those who need to leave should leave, those who need to pick up medicine should pick up medicine. First, give you a medicinal bath, then acupuncture, and then take decoctions. This three-pronged approach, after seven or eight times, I guarantee you will be cured. Then you can rest for two more days. In ten days at most, I will return you to a lively and energetic silly boy!"

The Shuangjue Patriarch quickly wrote down a prescription and handed it to Huang Jingyu, then waved his hand impatiently and asked them to leave.

After Li Shaobai and Hu Guangming took the miasma-avoiding pill, they were sent out of the inner valley of Yaowang Valley by Huang Jingxuan. After walking a long distance, Hu Guangming finally couldn't help it, so he stopped and looked at Li Shaobai angrily.

"Brother, why do you have to swallow your anger like this? Do we in Shushan really fear him?"

"Alas... I have finally witnessed today that the Shuangjue ancestor is capricious and violent. He calls our master and the head sword master like that, so I think he must have some intention. It would be wrong to use the sect to suppress him!" Li Shaobai shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Then there's no need to keep the Seven Leaf Gan Yuan Jing. At worst, you can just take it directly without refining the elixir. If you waste it, it's just a waste of medicinal power. Why endure the bad smell? After a hundred days, the daylily will be cold!"

Hu Guangming was still indignant. He thought that as a Shushan disciple, he was always arrogant and conceited wherever he went, so he had never been bullied in such a blatant way.

"I've thought about it, and there's nothing I can do about it. Although taking it directly can increase my power by a few years, it's not enough to make me a top-notch player, and I won't have the slightest chance of making a splash at the disciple-recruiting ceremony!"

"Besides, if I take the Seven-leaf Gan Yuan Essence, I will completely offend Yaowang Valley. Who can guarantee that they will be safe and sound when traveling in the martial arts world?"

"It doesn't matter if I endure humiliation for a while. As long as I get the precious elixir in a hundred days and enter the first-class level, even if there is no disciple-taking ceremony, I can still make a name for myself. By then, I will be able to dominate the martial arts world and I won't have to care about other people's opinions!"

Li Shaobai said slowly, his face tense, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes flashing with brilliance, it was obvious that his heart was not as easy to let go as he appeared to be. When the time comes, he will pay back double for everything that was owed to him and what had offended him!

In the Zuimengxuan, Xiangzhu Island, Yaowang Valley, in a bamboo pavilion, Qiao Rui sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and concentrated on moving the Qi around in his body. A strong Qi flowed through his body, passing through the Tongziliao, Hanyan, Xuanluo and other 44 major acupoints, and opened up the eleventh meridian, the Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian of Foot.

As expected, the medical skills of the Shuangjue Patriarch lived up to everyone's expectations. Not only did he cure Qiao Rui in seven days, but also, because of the Seven Leaves Gan Yuan Jing, Qiao Rui's power increased greatly. After two days of rest, Qiao Rui could no longer hold back, and could not wait to find a quiet bamboo pavilion, and began to connect the acupoints one by one and open up the meridians. Now that his qi and blood are abundant and his internal strength is surging, after easily opening up the eleventh meridian, he continued to work non-stop and began to penetrate the twelfth meridian.

Generally speaking, it takes about 24 years of pure skills to open up the twelfth foot-Jueyin liver meridian. After opening it up, one can immediately enter the first-rate realm. Of course, this refers to people with high-quality qualifications who practice advanced internal skills through hard work. Most of the mediocre people in the world practice general internal skills. Even if they practice diligently for 34 years and gain mixed internal strength, it is difficult for them to reach the first-rate level.

Although the twelfth foot Jueyin liver meridian has only fourteen major acupoints, each acupoint is dangerous and tight, and it is not easy to open up, which is much more difficult than opening up the eleventh meridian.

To penetrate the acupoints, it is best to be like gathering water to break through a dam. When the water reaches the destination, it will burst out in one go. If you are not fully prepared, your internal strength is not sufficient, and you fail to break through in one go, it will be like a flood hitting the shore. The greater the force it brings, the greater the recoil it will cause when it encounters resistance. If you are not careful, you will be seriously injured immediately.

At this time, thanks to the effect of Qiye Ganyuan Essence, Qiao Rui's pure internal strength increased dramatically. He was confident that he could pass this level and become a first-class player.

Sure enough, the surging internal energy in Qiao Rui's body flowed from the Dadun acupoint, Xingjian acupoint, Taichong acupoint, Zhongfeng acupoint, Li Gou acupoint, Zhongdu acupoint, Xiguan acupoint, Ququan acupoint, Yinbao acupoint to the Zuwuli acupoint. Although the process was slow, it was safe.

Feeling the internal force in his Dantian that had not yet been exhausted, Qiao Rui gritted his teeth secretly, and rushed through the Yinlian acupoint, Jimai acupoint, and Zhangmen acupoint without stopping. Although it was getting slower and slower and more and more difficult, he finally made it all the way to the final Qimen acupoint.

"boom!"

Qiao Rui felt tinnitus and dizziness, and everything in front of his eyes was dark. He felt nauseous as if his head was hit by a sledgehammer and wanted to vomit. He felt a sweetness in his throat and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Qiao Rui knew that he had failed at the last moment. The Qimen acupoint could not be opened, which led to backlash. He thought about it secretly and decided to make another attack.

This is because he has no worries in Medicine King Valley. Others are not as reckless as him. They have to practice for at least another year or two before they dare to try again. The recoil of the meridians can be mild or severe and should not be taken lightly.

Qiao Rui wiped the corner of his mouth, took a pill for internal injuries, then adjusted his breathing, slowly gathered his scattered internal energy, and moved it around to nourish the meridians that had already been opened.

After about two hours, his internal strength gradually recovered. Qiao Rui once again mobilized all his internal strength and rushed towards the acupoints of the twelfth meridian again.

With the experience from the first time, this time was much easier. He advanced with great force all the way. The Qimen acupoint had been opened for the first time and had become loose. It was then opened with a bang by Qiao Rui's strong internal force. The twelfth meridian, the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, was opened.

At this point, all of his twelve meridians were opened up, and he entered the first-class realm.

Qiao Rui opened his eyes and stood up, only to feel his whole body lighten, as if a layer of shackles had been taken off. With an idea in his mind, he slowly practiced his moves, Taizu Changquan, Luoyanquan, Vajra Palm, Jianglong Wuhui Palm...

He fought faster and faster, and the moves he used were from low to high, becoming more and more sophisticated and advanced. He practiced all the martial arts he had learned separately and repeatedly.

Qiao Rui felt that the more he fought, the more enjoyable and smoother his moves became. Suddenly, he let out a long roar, hooked his foot, and with the Cloud Patterned Moon-Cut Blade in his hand, he unleashed a set of Five Tigers Breaking Door Blades and Arhat Breaking Vows Blades, and the murderous intent and pressure came like a hurricane and rainstorm.

By the end of the practice, he could use all kinds of moves with ease, whether it was knife, palm, kick or fist. Sometimes his movements were as unpredictable as those of an antelope hanging on a horn, and sometimes they were as surging as a raging storm.

Qiao Rui put away his sword and stood up, feeling that his martial arts skills had been integrated to perfection and his strength had been further improved.

It turns out that the difference between first-rate and second-rate is not just the difference in skill, but also the difference in understanding and application of martial arts moves.

After opening the twelfth meridian, depending on your comprehension and aptitude, you will have a chance for enlightenment, which will allow you to organize and integrate your martial arts and reach a higher level of strength. Now think about it, when you used second-rate strength to fight against Hou Zijian, who had just entered the first-rate level, it was extremely dangerous and too reckless!
