Chapter 48 Opening the Acupoint
"Junior brother, you're destined for great things!"
After dinner, taking advantage of Mingyue's inattention, Huixin suddenly patted Han Yi on the shoulder and said something earnestly.
The restaurant still had a faint aroma of food lingering in the air, and the whole place was filled with a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Huixin slightly raised her chin, her expression incredibly complex, a mixture of heartfelt admiration and barely suppressed teasing.
He raised an eyebrow and, unusually, gave Han Yi a thumbs-up. The thumb stood straight up and wiggled as if to say, "Junior brother, you're really something!"
He was a straightforward man, and immediately patted his chest, saying he would help Han Yi make a new door for his master.
He patted his chest and grinned, crossing his arms over his chest, thinking to himself, "My junior brother's willpower is truly extraordinary. With my senior sister's cooking skills, anyone else would probably vomit after just one bite, but he swallowed it all. He's really amazing!"
Han Yi finishing all the food was a huge encouragement to Mingyue.
Her eyes sparkled, her face beamed with joy, and she couldn't be happier. Mingyue pursed her lips, her hands unconsciously twisting together, thinking to herself, "Since my junior brother loves my cooking so much, I'll have to put in more effort and cook him more delicious food in the future."
The three of them left the Taoist temple. The sky outside was as blue as a freshly polished gemstone. They slowly walked to a big tree. The tree was so thick that even several adults holding hands might not be able to hug it.
Huixin clenched her fist with one hand and began to mobilize the spiritual energy around her body, which gathered at her fingertips.
Immediately afterwards, he drew his finger in the air, and a sword aura formed from gathered spiritual energy instantly appeared, slicing the tree in half with a "whoosh".
The big tree crashed down with a loud "bang," but it fell in the wrong direction, heading straight for the three of them.
Huixin remained completely calm. He simply extended a finger, tapped lightly, and uttered the word "broken."
Countless sword beams emerged from all directions of the tree, crackling and sputtering like a sudden storm, instantly shredding most of the tree's trunk and branches to pieces, leaving only a wooden plank about the size of a door, which landed steadily on the ground.
After this whole sequence of actions, Han Yi, who was standing next to him, was completely dumbfounded and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
It took him a while to realize what was happening, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Senior brother, your control over spiritual energy is amazing! It's incredible! You're so awesome!"
"Junior brother, today I will teach you a method to cultivate your divine sense. You must watch carefully."
As soon as Huixin uttered these words, spiritual energy began to gather around the wooden board, which was about the size of a door, and in the blink of an eye, countless carving knives appeared.
The carving knives began to carve patterns onto the wooden board, their movements methodical and orderly.
Huixin raised her chin, her eyes gleaming with smugness. With her hands behind her back, she slowly said, "This secret technique is called the Dividing Mind and Myriad Manifestations Technique. It allows you to control multiple objects simultaneously. However, the exact number you can control depends on how strong your spiritual sense and spiritual power are."
As Huixin spoke, she explained the intricacies of this secret technique to Han Yi with a smug look on her face.
Han Yi was incredibly excited, thinking that if this secret technique were combined with the sword control technique, it would be like a fish in water.
Moreover, Xuan Kongzi said that he now fully meets the conditions for practicing Qi and can practice Qi into his body at any time.
"I'm entrusting my master's door to you. I want to go to Wuxu Cliff to cultivate."
He turned around quickly, eager to start cultivating immediately. Wuxu Cliff was his ideal place for cultivation; the results would surely be better there.
Upon reaching the edge of Wuxu Cliff, the wind howled, and clouds and mist swirled around the mountains. The mist, like a light veil, added a touch of mystery to the place, making it look like a fairyland.
Han Yi found a place, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and calmed his mind, facing upwards, and began to sense the spiritual energy around him.
Before long, he felt the surrounding spiritual energy like lively little elves, jumping and dancing around him and merging into his body.
The spiritual energy was quite obedient and didn't resist much. With each breath he took, it continuously seeped into his body.
The entire Qi Refining Realm is divided into two major stages: one is Qi Gathering in the Dantian, and the other is Qi Refining into Spirit.
The process of gathering Qi in the Dantian is further divided into three steps: Qi entering the body, Qi rushing through the orifices, and Qi converging in the Dantian.
Right now, Han Yi is in the first step of gathering Qi in his dantian, and the next step, opening the acupoints, is crucial. Opening the acupoints means using the spiritual energy continuously entering the body to open up the channels leading to the dantian.
The spiritual apertures in the human body are hidden in various important places. They are originally blocked, like closed doors. If a cultivator does not open these channels, the spiritual energy cannot be stored in the dantian.
The process of opening the spiritual apertures is extremely difficult. Cultivators must constantly accumulate spiritual energy and then use it to break through the blocked spiritual apertures. While gathering spiritual energy, they must also endure the pain brought about by opening the apertures. That pain is something that ordinary people cannot bear. It is like someone is stabbing a knife into the bone, a piercing pain.
However, Han Yi was no ordinary person. He didn't even care when the Blazing Soul Whip struck him. His physical strength and soul power were frighteningly strong.
By this time, Han Yi had accumulated some spiritual energy, and he began to guide it toward the first spiritual aperture.
This spiritual aperture is located near the Tanzhong acupoint and is called the "Zhonggong Spiritual Acupoint".
As the spiritual energy slowly gathered around the spiritual aperture, Han Yi felt a resistance.
Han Yi gritted his teeth and increased his spiritual energy output. The spiritual energy rushed towards his spiritual aperture with a "whoosh," just like waves crashing onto the shore one after another. With each surge, Han Yi felt a sharp pain in his heart; the feeling was too unbearable.
But Han Yi had no intention of giving up; he continued to guide his spiritual energy and push forward with all his might.
As the number of attempts to break through the spiritual aperture increased, the barrier began to loosen slightly. Beads of sweat slowly appeared on Han Yi's forehead. The spiritual energy impacts became more and more intense, and the loosened area gradually grew larger.
Finally, after a particularly violent impact, as if a tightly closed door had been smashed open, the barrier of the spiritual aperture shattered with a "crash".
Immediately afterwards, a cool current of air flowed into the central palace spiritual aperture. The feeling was so comfortable, like a person who had been thirsty for a long time drinking cool spring water.
This energy flow spread rapidly through his central spiritual aperture, nourishing his meridians. Han Yi felt completely comfortable, as if every pore was cheering.
However, Han Yi knew in his heart that he had only just broken through the first spiritual aperture, and there were still many difficulties waiting for him.
