Thus, the training lasted for almost a month before it ended.

After the willow tree absorbed some of the Yin Fire Liquid bought from the Tongbao Auction House, its entire body burst into gray-black flames.

It looks miserable, but life is actually recovering rapidly.

The head of a three-headed demon faintly appeared on the main trunk of the tree. The process of gestation had begun, and all that was left was to wait.

How long it takes depends on luck.

Gu Qing estimated that it would not take more than three years, and if the growth was good, the organ could be harvested in a few months to a year.

Next, I will return to Mount Huosang for seclusion.

After activating the warning array, burning incense and taking a bath, he plunged into the quiet room.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, with his eyes closed.

The Taotie head appeared opposite Gu Qing, and the jade gourd on the ground emitted two streams of water, one of which entered the Taotie head and the other entered Gu Qing's mouth.

There were also devouring Dao patterns between his eyebrows.

The two lines worked together to refine this gourd of Dragon Spring Brew, and a Azure Sea Pill was extracted from it. It should be renamed Azure Sea Dragon Spring Brew!

Ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare drink like Gu Qing, otherwise they would run into trouble.

After mastering the Devouring Divine Power.

Gu Qing grasped this feeling very easily, and the exhilarating feeling of being able to refine anything was even more captivating.

In less than an hour.

After drinking the entire gourd of Azure Dragon Spring water, the gluttonous beast returned to its Niwan Palace and poured all the refined essence into Gu Qing's body.

Two streams of true energy, the former originating from the Jade Pillow Pass, and the latter from the limbs and bones.

It surged wildly into Gu Qing's body.

This digestion process took ten days, during which his cultivation level increased dramatically. His Qi Sea appeared to be full, but it also grew larger.

"Let me see just how many times you can expand."

The body needs time to process this feedback, so Gu Qing gave himself twenty days to cultivate the Purple Star Qi Gathering, learn the Dragon-Snake Transformation, and a variety of spells.

The first month of my retreat has ended, and I have made significant progress in all aspects.

After the second month of seclusion, Gu Qing discovered that the expansion of his Qi Sea was inextricably linked to the [Ziwei Qi Gathering Strategy]. The Qi of the Ziwei Star and the celestial sphere also had the effect of expanding the Qi Sea.

This caused the true essence of the Flaming Dragon True Skill to quietly increase to 5.2 times... 5.3 times... 5.4 times, seemingly without limit.

This is a good thing.

The better the foundation, the greater the benefits when you reach the pinnacle of your abilities in the future.

In the third month, his true essence increased to six times that of the same level, his Dragon Sword Qi cultivation reached perfection, and he mastered the Fire Rain Technique and Blazing Flame Ring.

In the fourth month, the Dragon-Snake Transformation progressed from beginner to intermediate level, and his True Essence reached 6.5 times that of the same level.

In the fifth month, Gu Qing mastered the Fire Release Technique, which granted him the ability to move and teleport within flames, and his true essence reached seven times its normal level.

……

Ten months later, the cultivation resources were exhausted.

With Ziwei's breakthrough to the fourth level of Qi Gathering, Gu Qing's True Essence Limit increased to 9.9 times that of the same level, which is ten times.

At this point, the Qi Sea was complete, and the Yanlong True Essence completely filled every gap.

A raging storm surged within the middle dantian.

This is the true essence as vast as the sea, and also the perfect state of the eighth grade, the Golden Dew Abstinence stage.

The next step should be to break through to the upper level of the eighth rank, the gathering of spiritual energy in all the acupoints!
The true essence in the dantian can no longer accumulate.

Since the capacity was limited, the predecessors of the Cangwu cultivation world set their sights on acupoints. The "Zongpai Neijing" states that there are 365 acupoints in the human body, which corresponds to the number of the circadian rhythm, but the actual record only shows 160 acupoints. It is also the earliest text to describe acupoints, but it is still immature.

Through integration and research by later generations, a total of 720 acupoints were finally identified, including 52 single acupoints, 309 double acupoints, and 50 extra acupoints.

A single acupoint refers to a special acupoint that is only found once in the human body.

A double acupoint is a symmetrical distribution, with one on the left and one on the right, and two acupoints with the same name.

Extra points outside the meridians are slightly more complex. The acupoints are distributed on the meridians, while those that are not on the meridians are called extra points outside the meridians.

The cultivation content and methods of the Hundred Apertures Gathering Spirit Realm.

It is a process of continuously opening up acupoints and further accumulating true essence.

This is also the second process of strengthening the entire body after a cultivator completes the Golden Muscle Jade Meridian.

The first step was to create 309 double acupoints, totaling 618 locations.

This is a massive undertaking, yet it is also the simplest step in achieving the Hundred Apertures Gathering Spirit Realm.

The "Spiritual Awakening Pill" that appeared at the Tongbao auction before can not only open a certain acupoint with a 100% success rate, but also bring spiritual energy that can make all the acupoints on this meridian half-open.

One seed can save countless hours. How many seeds can be opened in the Spirit Ascension state depends on the cultivator's own abilities.

The second step is to open up 52 acupoints.

The barriers of a single cavity are harder to break through, and even locating it can be quite troublesome.

The third step, which is also the most difficult, is to open up the extra meridian points.

People's height and physique are different, and the acupoints will also be slightly different. Even a slight difference can make a world of difference.

Extraordinary acupoints are not located within the human body's meridian network, making them even more difficult to locate. Furthermore, due to the obstruction of flesh and bones, opening them requires immense strength.

The cultivation of the Hundred Apertures Gathering Spirit Realm progresses from easy to difficult.

Almost all of them are aimed at opening up acupoints, but there is a fourth step, which is to fill 720 acupoints with true energy!
Completing these four steps signifies the perfect gathering of spiritual energy in all the orifices, the body's purity and cleanliness, and the abundant true essence like the sea. At that time, one will communicate with the Heavenly Gate for the second time, bringing this gateway into the body.

It endows the human body with the ability to breathe in and absorb the essence of the sun and moon.

This is the time for meals and the moon, but it's still far from Gu Qing's reach.

at this time.

It would be very simple for him to break through the Hundred Acupoints Gathering Spirit; he only needs to break through one acupoint.

Gu Qing did the same.

With his true essence being nearly ten times that of others of the same level, plus the assistance of the Crimson Crow's divine sense, locating the two acupoints was very simple.

The true essence split into two, and under Gu Qing's micro-management, it launched an attack on the first double acupoint, aiming to open up both sides of this acupoint simultaneously.

The hard barrier gradually thinned under the baptism and erosion of true energy.

Seven days later, the barrier was broken through, and true energy entered the two acupoints, as if opening up a small sea of ​​qi, which was then filled by the influx of true energy.

Conversely, the true essence in the Qi Sea has decreased somewhat, leaving room for further increases in total amount.

In the quiet room, Gu Qing's aura suddenly surged, and his Yanlong True Skill broke through to the seventh level. His eyes shone brightly, and he was very satisfied with the result of this breakthrough.

I stood up and stretched, my mind filled with a multitude of thoughts.

In theory, "opening the acupoints" means changing the location of storing true essence. The acupoints will gradually expand under the nourishment of true essence and will also have some kind of miraculous effects.

Finally, there is the second evolution of the body.

Using his self-created dual-opening technique based on his vast true essence, it took him seven days the first time. If we calculate it this way, just for the 309 dual acupoints, it would take 2163 days, more than six years to complete the first step of cultivation.

What about ordinary cultivators?
Without Gu Qing's level of true essence, one can only open them one by one, which would take at least twice as long as Gu Qing's time in the first step.
