Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 216 All Meridians Open

"It seems that you are here for the spiritual spring and the divine book in the valley, but the divine book has been taken away by my master. Now there is only the spiritual spring left in the valley."

Valley Master Jia Shiliu looked at Chu Yuan and said.

Spirit spring?

Chu Yuan's heart moved, and he realized that the spiritual spring that Valley Master Jia Shiliu mentioned should be the spring water in the Changchun Bulao Valley that can make people immortal.

"Is the spiritual spring still there?"

Chu Yuan asked Valley Master Jia Sixteen.

"Of course. The reason why people in our valley can live for two to three hundred years is because we often drink the water from the spiritual spring in the valley."

Valley Master Jia Sixteen Dao.

"If you want to drink the water from the spiritual spring, I can take you there. It's okay for outsiders to drink from the spiritual spring, but if you are not from the valley, it's better not to stay in the valley all the time. Staying for too long is not a good thing but a bad thing."

Valley Master Jia Shiliu looked at Chu Yuan and said again.

"What does this mean?"

Chu Yuan wondered.

Jia Shiliu said: "Young man, you don't know that if you drink the water from this spiritual spring, you can indeed live forever in the valley. You can live for two or three hundred years, but you can't leave this valley."

"There were people who left our valley before, but they never came back. After my master came to the valley, he destroyed all three exits to avoid unnecessary deaths and injuries."

"But Master is kind-hearted and worried that if we wanted to get out one day, we would be trapped in the valley forever, so he left a dangerous path that we could barely get out of, but even if we could get out, we would still be in danger of death."

Chu Yuan thought of the dead-end road connecting to the cliff stone platform. It seemed that the people in the Changchun Valley of Immortality were able to access the outside world in the past.

But after Xiaoyaozi arrived, he had already destroyed it.

The road he came from was one of the three roads leading to the outside world from Changchun Bu Lao Valley that was destroyed by Xiaoyaozi.

The spiritual spring water in this valley has no harm to drinking and can even prolong one's life.

But people from outside cannot stay in this Changchun Valley for long.

Otherwise, once you leave the Changchun Valley of Immortality, you will quickly age and die.

This can be seen from the fact that Gao Ming, the old patriarch of the Baiyi tribe, met the people from the Changchun Valley of Immortality when he was a child.

That person should have left Changchun Eternal Valley from another passage, not from the road Chu Yuan came from.

It’s not that Chu Yuan looked down on others. Even if it was the Valley Master Jia Shiliu in front of him, he would probably not be able to climb up the cliff.

Chu Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "What are the three roads leading to the outside world?"

Jialiu: "These three roads are the Soul-Breaking Cliff, the Fallen Dragon Gorge, and the Golden Cloud Peak. Judging from the direction you entered and were discovered by the valley, you should have entered the valley from the Soul-Breaking Cliff."

Chu Yuan nodded: "Yes, I did come down from a cliff that was difficult for immortals to cross. It should be the Soul-Breaking Cliff that the Valley Master mentioned."

There was a look of amazement in Jialiu's eyes, and he praised:
"Young man, your Qinggong is peerless. Since the master left the valley, some people couldn't stand the boring life in the valley and secretly escaped from the valley, but most of them went to the Golden Cloud Peak. No one ever went to the Soul-Breaking Cliff or the Fallen Dragon Gorge."

"After being destroyed by Master, that place has become a desolate place. The Golden Cloud Peak was not destroyed so thoroughly. In more than a hundred years, you are the first one to walk in and out of the valley through the Cliff of Broken Souls."

Chu Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that the direction I was looking for Changchun Bu Lao Valley was correct."

The three entrances to the Changchun Eternal Valley seem to be located in dangerous and sparsely populated areas just by looking at their names.

Chu Yuan asked Jia Shiliu: "Can you take me to see the spiritual spring in this valley?"

Ever since he entered the Changchun Valley of Immortality, he discovered that the valley was always emitting a refreshing coolness that invigorated people and gave them a feeling of being nourished all over their body.

It feels like arriving at a legendary paradise.

What’s more important is that Chu Yuan actually felt the spiritual energy here.

And it’s a lot, not just a little.

If the spiritual energy he absorbed on the Knight Island in the previous world was only a wisp, then the amount of spiritual energy in the Changchun Bulao Valley at this time was extremely large, even filling every corner of the valley.

No wonder Chu Yuan felt comfortable from the inside out as soon as he arrived in the valley.

Living in such a place with abundant spiritual energy, even if you don't practice martial arts, you can at least live dozens or hundreds of years longer.

However, Chu Yuan was a guest. As soon as he arrived in the valley, he was discovered by the people in the valley and brought to the valley master. However, he had no time to practice and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Taking this opportunity, Chu Yuan wanted to go and see what the spiritual spring in the Changchun Eternal Valley was all about.

Valley Master Jia Shiliu said, "Young man, since you are related to my master, then you are one of us. But I won't go. We go to the spiritual spring every day, and we are used to it. Let my disciple Shi Sheng take you there."

Chu Yuan stood up and bowed: "Please trouble the Valley Master."

Jia Shiliu smiled and said, "We are one family, no need to trouble you."

Then he shouted to the outside of the door: "Shi Sheng."

After a while, Shi Sheng, who had just brought Chu Yuan here, walked in from outside the door.

Shi Sheng bowed: "Master, what do you want?"

Jialiu: "This young man wants to see the spiritual spring in our valley. You take him there."

Shi Sheng: "Yes, Master."

……

"Shisheng, this is the person from outside the valley?"

"He looks quite young and handsome. He seems to be from our valley!"

"You must treat him well and don't neglect your guests!"

As he walked along, residents in the valley kept greeting Shi Sheng, and Shi Sheng responded to each of them.

It can be seen that Shi Sheng, as a disciple of Valley Master Jia Shiliu, has a very high status and prestige in the valley.

Chu Yuan also discovered that in this Valley of Immortality, the men were handsome and the women were beautiful. They were all handsome boys and beautiful girls rarely seen in the outside world.

In this Valley of Immortality, there is not a single ugly person.

Even older women still have charm.

"Are there no ugly people here?"

After leaving the place where the residents gathered in the valley, Chu Yuan asked Shi Sheng, the disciple of Valley Master Jia Shiliu who was beside him.

"No, young man. Maybe our valley is blessed by the gods, so there are only handsome men and beautiful women. If you must find an ugly one, I am one of the uglier ones in the valley."

Shi Sheng said to Chu Yuan.

"You're not ugly, are you?"

Chu Yuan looked at Shi Sheng again.

I found that Shi Sheng in front of me, although he had thick eyebrows, big eyes and thick lips, he had a tall and strong figure, six feet tall, and looked very heroic. He could be considered handsome in an alternative way.

"People in the valley often make fun of me for my appearance."

Shi Sheng said helplessly.

Chu Yuan: ...

Even Shi Sheng would be laughed at, so how could those ordinary-looking people in the outside world survive?
He guessed in his heart that the reason why the Xiaoyao Sect selects only handsome men and beautiful women as its disciples was that he wondered if it was a trend that Xiaoyaozi brought from the Changchun Bulao Valley.

Passing through some houses in the valley, they soon arrived at the Changchun Bulao Valley, a place located in the southwest corner.

Chu Yuan looked around and saw the gurgling stream flowing down from a high place and gathering in a pool with a diameter of nearly ten feet.

The sound of the clear flowing water is pleasant to the ears, like a beautiful piece of music composed by nature.

The area around the pool was covered with green moss, and there was a layer of light white mist on the surface of the pool that dissipated and then gathered again.

The pool was not very deep and its color was not dark. One could vaguely see the rocks at the bottom of the pool. It was probably only three to five feet deep.

"Young Master Chu, this is the spiritual spring in our valley."

Shi Sheng introduced him to Chu Yuan.

As soon as Chu Yuan arrived here, he stopped because he was shocked.

In the Changchun Valley of Immortality, the already rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly became even richer here.

In Chu Yuan's perception, the light layer of white mist that kept drifting and gathering on the surface of the pool was the condensed spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so thick that ordinary people can see it.

"Can I meditate and practice here?"

Chu Yuan asked Shi Sheng.

Shi Sheng said: "Young Master Chu, you are a guest in our valley, of course you can. In fact, before the arrival of our master, we have always used this spiritual spring as ordinary spring water for drinking. It was our master who said that this spring water is a spiritual spring. The reason why people in our valley can live forever is because they often drink this spiritual spring."

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "What your master said makes sense."

In his perception, this is the place with the richest spiritual energy in the entire Changchun Bu Lao Valley.

Even the spring water in this pool contains a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

If you drink it regularly, it can indeed make you immortal.

Chu Yuan even suspected that the existence of the entire Valley of Immortality was due to the spiritual spring in front of him.

Shi Sheng said, "Young Master Chu, you can practice here. I will go and find a place for you to live."

After saying that, Shi Sheng left.

Chu Yuan walked around the spiritual spring several times and immediately found a suitable place for practice.

He walked to the top of the spiritual spring, sat on a blue stone at the edge of the stream, sat cross-legged, cleared his mind of distractions, and began to meditate and practice the "Nine Heavens Divine Art".

Today, Chu Yuan has opened up the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians.

As he circulated the Qi in his body, the vast amount of spiritual energy from the surrounding heaven and earth, influenced by his practice, continuously flowed into his body and was absorbed by him.

With each cycle, Chu Yuan's internal strength increases rapidly.

In less than half a day, Chu Yuan felt that his lower Dantian Qi Sea was a little swollen.

The internal force that can be contained has reached its limit. If you continue to practice, the internal force you have cultivated will also dissipate in your meridians.

Chu Yuan was about to finish his work...

"Hey, that's not right. Why is the innate true qi in my middle dantian crimson palace also increasing?"

Chu Yuan was shocked.

His "Nine Heavens Divine Art" originally had the idea of ​​cultivating innate true qi. The stronger the innate true qi, the stronger the protective qi will be.

He had tried in the past to cultivate the innate true qi in the middle dantian and the crimson palace.

However, compared with the speed of cultivating internal strength, the speed of cultivating innate true qi is as slow as a snail.

Every slight increase requires a lot of effort.

Even in his previous two lives, when his martial arts had reached its peak, he had not cultivated even one tenth of the innate true qi in the crimson palace in his dantian. This was even more so in this life.

But at this time, when Chu Yuan was practicing, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth absorbed into his body was constantly transformed into innate true qi, and the innate true qi continued to enrich the middle dantian, the crimson palace.

During this period of cultivation, Chu Yuan sat cross-legged on the blue stone as the sun rose and the moon set. He did not eat, drink or sleep. He did not know how long he had been cultivating.

Residents of Changchun Bulao Valley sometimes come to fetch water.

Seeing Chu Yuan sitting cross-legged on top of the spiritual spring like a stone, motionless, the news spread like wildfire...

Some people say that Chu Yuan is not an ordinary person, but a hermit master from the outside world!

Didn’t the Valley Master’s master also come from outside the valley?

Some people say that Chu Yuan is a god, because who can go for several days without eating, drinking, resting or sleeping?

Even those who have achieved immortality in the valley cannot sit there and meditate for several days without eating or drinking.

Shi Sheng, a disciple of Valley Master Jia Shiliu, came to Jia Shiliu's residence, reported the matter to Valley Master Jia Shiliu and asked, "Master, do you want to wake up Young Master Chu?"

After hearing this, Valley Master Jiashiliu shook his head and said, "Let him go. This man is probably a strange person like Master. Moreover, he has not done anything to harm the valley. It seems that he is just practicing. If we wake him up and disturb his practice, we will offend him."

Shi Sheng thought about it and said, "That's right."

Valley Master Jia Shiliu said, "Go and tell the residents in the valley not to disturb Young Master Chu from practicing unless necessary. Just pretend he doesn't exist."

Shi Sheng said: "As you command."

After saying that, Shi Sheng left.

"I don't know if Master is still alive now."

Looking at the back of his disciple Shi Sheng as he left, Valley Master Jia Shiliu, who was sitting on the cushion, said.

Chu Yuan's appearance reminded him of his master.

"He should still be alive. I am still alive. Master has such high martial arts skills, so he must still be alive."

Jia Shiliu suddenly smiled and felt that he was worrying too much.

……

Chu Yuan practiced for a full nine days.

The innate true qi in his middle dantian, the crimson palace, had also reached its limit and could no longer be contained.

"Try to continue opening up the meridians."

Chu Yuan's heart moved, and he began to open up his meridians.

Now that the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians have all been opened, let's move on to opening up the other meridians.

Twelve meridians, twelve meridian tendons, twelve skin parts...

What made Chu Yuan feel unbelievable was that he used the innate true qi to open up the meridians, and it was unexpectedly fast. Those acupoints were like a layer of window paper that broke with just a poke.

These meridians were almost broken one by one by Chu Yuan like a whirlwind.

Not long after, Chu Yuan's meridians were opened up.

"Now that the meridians have been opened, let's continue to open up the collaterals."

Chu Yuan felt that he still had some strength left, so he made a decision.

Meridians are divided into meridians and collaterals.

Generally, internal energy techniques open up the meridians and only involve the meridians, and rarely involve the collaterals.

The collateral vessels are divided into fifteen collateral vessels, floating collaterals, sun collaterals, etc.

Meridians and collaterals are the exterior and interior of each other, and are the channels for the circulation of qi and blood. They connect the inside and outside of the human body into an organic whole.

Compared with meridians, opening up collaterals is much easier.

It only took one day for Chu Yuan's meridians and collaterals to be completely opened up.

"My body's meridians have been completely opened. The plan to open all the meridians that I had planned from the beginning has actually been completed."

Chu Yuan opened his eyes, a dazzling light flashed across his eyes, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

Chu Yuan stood up and looked up, and found that it was early morning. The sun was rising from the top of a mountain not far away, and the warm sunlight illuminated the entire Changchun Buliao Valley.

At this moment, just like when he came, there was no one else beside the spiritual spring.

Maybe he woke up at the wrong time.

"I have been in the valley for a while, and it is time to meet the Valley Master again."

Chu Yuan, whose meridians were all open, felt as if he was floating in the air. He was worried about A-Bi, Duan Yu and others who were still waiting for him outside. He thought that after meeting the Valley Master, it was time to leave.

Originally, the magical book that could make people immortal was also one of Chu Yuan’s goals.

But according to the Sweeping Monk, the sacred book should have been taken out of the valley by Xiaoyaozi, so he was no longer concerned about it.

Moreover, compared to when he came here, his martial arts skills have undergone earth-shaking changes, so this trip was worthwhile.

Chu Yuan left Lingquan and, according to his memory of the journey here, traveled through the valley and found the residence of the valley master Jia Shiliu.

Valley Master Jia Shiliu was not in the house at this time. He was wearing loose linen clothes, standing in front of the door, practicing martial arts facing the morning sun.

It looks like he just got up.

He practiced palm techniques.

After taking a few glances, Chu Yuan recognized that the palm technique practiced by Valley Master Jia Shiliu was somewhat similar to the "Tianshan Six Yang Palm" of the Xiaoyao Sect.

"Young man, your training is over..."

Seeing Chu Yuan approaching from a distance, Valley Master Jia Shiliu stopped practicing martial arts and said to Chu Yuan.

But he stopped abruptly before he finished speaking.

Because the Chu Yuan in front of him was very different from when he first entered the valley.

At this time, Chu Yuan had fair skin and an extraordinary temperament, like a banished immortal from heaven.

Although Chu Yuan was extraordinary before and obviously not an ordinary person, he was far from reaching this level.

The aura of Chu Yuan also became very natural and friendly, just like the grass, flowers and trees in the world, no longer like a living being.

In addition, when Chu Yuan walked towards him, he saw Chu Yuan with his back to the rising sun, with a layer of colorful light covering his body, but when he looked more closely, he found that it was gone again.

But the Valley Master Jia Shiliu, whose martial arts skills were not too low, was absolutely sure that it was not his illusion just now.

"Young man, have you become an immortal?"

Jia Shiliu really couldn't imagine how a person could undergo such a big change in just a few days. He couldn't help but think of the stories about becoming immortals that his master had told him.

"I can't be considered an immortal, I just made a breakthrough in martial arts. On the contrary, you are already considered immortals in the eyes of ordinary people."

Chu Yuan said with a smile.

"Too."

Valley Master Jia Sixteen Dao.

He had heard from his master that people in the outside world were considered to have a long life if they lived for sixty or seventy years, but they, the residents in the valley, could generally live for two or three hundred years.

To outsiders, they are just immortals!

However, Chu Yuan's change made Valley Master Jia Shiliu certain that Chu Yuan should be a hermit master like his master.

He might even be more powerful than his master, because he remembered that when his master came to the valley before, and even when he left the valley, he did not have so many strange phenomena on Chu Yuan's body.

"The Valley Master said before that there is a divine book in the valley that can make people immortal?"

Chu Yuan asked Valley Master Jia Sixteen.

"Originally, it was written on a stone wall in the valley. We couldn't understand it and never paid attention to it. Then our master came to the valley and said that it was a divine book that could make people immortal. This book couldn't be easily revealed. After copying down the contents of the divine book, he destroyed the stone wall."

"Later, Master transformed some of the contents of the divine book into several martial arts, and taught some to us before he left."

Valley Master Jia Shiliu nodded.

Chu Yuan thought to himself: "Sure enough..."

Wuyazi is not kind!
Not only did the old fellow take away the sacred book, he also destroyed the stone wall. He didn't want later comers to see it, and he cut off the roots of those who came later.

And this so-called sacred book is most likely the same as the "Tai Xuan Jing" on the Knight Island in the previous world.

It should be a martial arts secret book left here by a senior.

However, this martial arts secret book is quite powerful and involves immortality.

Even though Wuyazi created the Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts based on that magical book, all of them are peerless magical skills.

"Xiao Wuxiang Gong", "Beiming Shengong", "Lingbo Weibu", "Tianshan Liuyang Palm", "Bahuang Liuhe Weiyizuo Gong"...

Chu Yuan asked again: "May I ask what palm technique did you just practice?"

Valley Master Jia Sixteen replied: "The Tianshan Yin-Yang Palm!"

Chu Yuan complained in his heart: "What is "Tianshan Yin Yang Palm", isn't this just "Tianshan Six Yang Palm"? "
