Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 558 Acupressure?

"Teacher, if we use magic to replace life force to learn the Eight Extremes Method, do we first need to guide the magic into our dantian?"

"Of course it is necessary. The dantian is like the capital of a kingdom, which is naturally connected to other 'important cities'. Once the dantian is well-constructed, the meridians can be directly nourished through the dantian."

"Nourish? Teacher, magic can't nourish meridians, can it?"

"It's about nourishing. Of course, you can also understand it as 'building meridians,' but I prefer a word... 'unblocking.' Unblocking meridians means being able to stably transmit energy to specific acupoints through the meridians. The best way to do this is to inject energy in advance and let the body adapt to this energy. The final 'unblocking' is like repairing, finding the 'leaks' one by one until it is completely unblocked."

"Teacher, you said in the 'Eight Extremes Method' that the reason the Dantian is located in this position is because it is the 'innate heart'. So, are the meridians the same as blood vessels? And nourishing the meridians is nourishing the walls of the blood vessels?"

"No, the meridian system is primarily a lymphatic network with blood vessels playing a secondary role. You can think of blood vessels as a fast-flowing 'canal,' while the lymphatic network is like a more flexible 'dry road,' which is more prone to wear and tear. You can use the 'canal' for general directions, but for precise manipulation, you must take the 'dry road.'"

"Teacher, the Bajiquan method mentions constructing acupoints. How should we construct acupoints near blood vessels? Blood is constantly flowing inside, so they can't be stabilized, right?"

"Just as there are 'dry roads' alongside 'canals,' there are also lymphatic networks alongside the cardiovascular system. You can see conspicuous blood vessels, but it's hard to see the tiny, transparent lymphatic vessels. These lymphatic vessels are like crisscrossing paths, together forming an entire city. This city is the acupoint."

"Teacher, you said before that vitality is about 'addition' and magic is about 'subtraction'. If we think of acupoints as cities, then vitality is about building up these cities, and magic is about destroying them, right? Can magic build... open up acupoints?"

"Of course you can. The human body has its own healing mechanisms. You can think of magic as a 'carving knife' to sculpt the 'acupoint' stone into the shape you need. For example, to block a few lymphatic vessels, the way life force works is to proliferate and block, while magic can directly destroy it and let the body heal the blockage on its own."

"Teacher, will blocking these pipes have any negative effects on our health?"

"Lymphatic vessels are not blood vessels. They are numerous, crisscrossing, and densely packed small channels distributed throughout the body's tissues. Acupoints are not large in size, just like placing a stone in the middle of a river, causing the water to automatically flow to both sides, and they basically do not affect the body's normal functions."

"Teacher, how do I know when the acupoints have been opened?"

"First, after energy is injected into the acupoints, the body will have a corresponding reaction. Second, the energy can remain for a period of time after it is injected. Once these two effects are achieved, the acupoints are considered unblocked."

"Teacher, how deep is the acupoint?"

"You just need to remember the location of each acupoint. Once you have built up your dantian, the location where energy travels through the meridians of the dantian will be the specific depth of the acupoint."

……

Through Bevin's questions, Yarrow's understanding of the Eight Extremes Method deepened, and he also discovered the main problems in its external promotion.

The construction of the dantian and acupoints in the "Eight Extremes Method" is not difficult, because it borrows the mechanisms and locations that already exist in the human body. As long as you find the location, you can make appropriate adjustments.

This is like the keyboard input of a computer in the past. You could type a character by pressing a key on the keyboard. But how can you enable someone who has never touched a computer before, or even heard of a computer, to edit software on a computer?

The opening of the dantian and meridians in the "Eight Extremes Method" can be seen as the process of building a keyboard and activating it, which is to write several 'programs' that act on the body in sequence.

However, what will be spread to the outside world in the future will certainly not be the original design of the "Eight Extremes Method".

What can be passed on to outsiders are books similar to the Knight's Secret Techniques, such as "Blood Frenzy," which simply tell others how to do it.

Here's the problem. If no one teaches you, how many people can master the skills directly from a professional book?
How can we explain technical terms like 'meridians,' 'acupoints,' and 'dantian' to others?
How can I let others know?

There are no shortcuts; we must proceed step by step and activate each step in the order specified in the "Eight Extremes Method." Even if some steps seem repetitive, none of them can be omitted.
Perhaps, just like in my previous life, I can achieve this goal subtly and gently through storybooks.

But... will anyone watch it?

If no one watches it, wouldn't that be a waste of time and energy?
As Yaro was pondering, he suddenly heard Bevan make a decision.

"Teacher, I'm going to activate my dantian right now!"

Yaro was stunned, almost thinking he had misheard. "What did you say?"

Bevin repeated it again.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Bevan took a deep breath. "Teacher, after your explanation, I now understand all the details of the Eight Extremes Method. In addition, I went with you to see the werewolf corpse and witnessed the specific structure of the dantian. Now is the moment that has impressed me the most."

"Moreover, my magic power is inherently weak... almost imperceptible, so even if it damages my body, the impact shouldn't be severe..."

“Bevin!” Yaro interrupted sternly, “Don’t underestimate these acupoints! Their locations are extremely crucial. If the magic is inputted incorrectly, it will cause nerve conduction to be blocked, resulting in the inability of muscles to contract and move normally. At best, it will cause paralysis; at worst, it will cause respiratory arrest and death on the spot!”

In my past life, there were often candidates who paralyzed themselves during the TCM exams; this was no joke.

Moreover, the above situations are not only visible, but also invisible, and can cause endocrine disorders, indirectly affecting all bodily systems!

After Yaro explained the serious consequences that could result from incorrect acupoint placement, Bevin asked in confusion:
"Teacher, didn't you say that acupoints affect lymphatic vessels? How come they also affect nerves?"

"Our goal is to influence the nerves. The areas where nerves converge naturally need nutritional support, which is transported there by blood vessels and lymphatic vessels."

Bevan had to put aside his impatience and nodded: "Teacher, I understand. I will study the knowledge of acupoints carefully."

Then, Bevan suddenly asked, "Teacher, can we use this effect to attack the enemy?"

Attack the enemy?

and many more……

Yaro thought of a martial art technique from a martial arts novel from his previous life.

Acupressure!
