Practice starts with skill points.

Chapter 126 Half a Year
Zhong Lin slowly stood up and shook his head which was still a little swollen and painful, but a smile appeared on his face when he felt the internal energy constantly circulating in his body.

"It's a bit slow, but I'm practicing all the time. As long as I have enough pills to support me, I believe I'll be able to achieve perfection in my inner energy soon."

He got up and went downstairs, but instead of leaving immediately, he went to the third floor and chose two more martial arts to copy.

After cultivating internal energy, the corresponding Qi-refining martial arts are only the "Spiritual Sword Finger" and the "Dragon Subduing Palm".

Too little.

Zhong Lin had just chosen a light-weight body movement technique called "Fractal Shadow" and a sword technique called "Flying Dragon Slash" on the third level.

It can just make up for the shortcomings of its own attack.

On the first floor, the old man in black robes was still dozing with his eyes closed. Sensing Zhong Lin's arrival, he slowly opened his eyes and asked with an unhappy look on his face, "Why did you stay so long?"

"The heavenly-grade martial arts are mysterious and unpredictable. I practiced them out of greed, but I didn't expect to miss the time. Please forgive me, Elder." Zhong Lin apologized.

"You chose two more martial arts?"

The old man in black robe saw the two secret books in Zhong Lin's hands again.

"Disciple also wants to enrich his own skills."

"You must remember that biting off more than you can chew. Your focus right now should be on practicing Qigong."

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder. I am awake now."

Seeing that Zhong Lin still insisted, the old man in black just shook his head and said nothing more.

Good words cannot persuade a damned person. Sooner or later you will regret it.

After Zhong Lin bowed, he sat down on a seat nearby, picked up a pen and paper and quickly copied it.

By the time they walked out of the Transmission Pavilion, the sun had already set in the west, and Mei Weixuan was already bored waiting at the iron chain bridge.

"Zhong...Brother, you finally came out. I thought you were living in there!"

"Where's Master?"

Zhong Lin glanced around but didn't see Yin Daoyan.

"Master Yin has something to take care of, so he asked me to wait for you here."

"Let's go!"

After saying that, he took big strides forward.

"You wait for me."

Mei Weixuan also quickly caught up and walked side by side with Zhong Lin.

"Zhong... Senior Brother, you don't know what I found in the Transmission Pavilion. It turned out to be the legendary 'Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound'. This is a secret method that can help people quickly cultivate their marrow and replace their blood. It is said that it appeared in the martial arts world a hundred years ago, causing a bloody storm. I don't know how many people fought for it, and in the end, this secret method disappeared in the fighting. I didn't expect it to be displayed in our Jianding Sect's Transmission Pavilion. Hehe, now it's a good thing for me."

Mei Weixuan's face was full of excitement.

"By the way, what is the fifth floor of the Transmission Pavilion like? Did you choose a top-grade technique? Let me see it for myself."

"I'll show you when I've mastered it. Now I just want to go back and have a good sleep."

The flow of information brought by the seven heavenly-grade skills gave Zhong Lin a splitting headache, and now he just wanted to go back and have a good sleep.

"Fine!"

Zhong Lin returned to Spiritual Medicine Peak without even eating dinner before returning to his room to rest. It was already noon the next day when he woke up again. The moment Zhong Lin opened his eyes, the long-dormant internal energy in his dantian began to circulate on its own. With each cycle, the remaining internal energy was converted into Feiling internal energy.

"It will take about three days to completely transform all the internal energy. Then I can continue to swallow the Great Rejuvenation Pill and practice."

Zhong Lin felt the progress in his dantian and his face showed great satisfaction.

Although the amount of Feiling internal energy converted was only 30% of the original, its power increased by several times.

Zhong Lin was not idle in the next few days. His master Yin Daoyan took him to the ancestral hall to kowtow to the ancestor. Only after kowtow to the ancestor would he be qualified to be included in the roster.

Then he took him to various mountains to visit the elders.

It was at this time that Zhong Lin learned that the black-robed old man who was guarding the Transmission Pavilion that day was Zou Shan, one of the nine elders of the Jianding Sect. He not only had the responsibility of guarding the Transmission Pavilion, but also taught and answered questions for the sect's disciples on the sword testing platform at the end of each month.

……

half year later.

There is a purple bamboo forest on the back mountain of Lingyao Peak.

Zhong Lin, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

The past six months have been the most leisurely time for Zhong Lin. He meditates and practices martial arts every day, cultivates his inner breath, or studies medicine, cultivates medicinal materials, and makes elixirs in the alchemy room.

Counting the time, Zhong Lin has been reborn into this world for a whole year.

The seventeen-year-old Zhong Lin's temperament has become more elegant, and his appearance seems to have become more extraordinary because of his success in martial arts. Although his face is not very handsome, he has a sense of perfection that is pleasing to the eye. One point more or one point less would seem redundant. It is just right at this moment.

A divine light flashed in Zhong Lin's eyes, and a bright golden light flowed out, making him look quite mysterious and different from ordinary people.

This is the leakage of internal energy, which is an unusual phenomenon caused by being unable to control it after reaching a certain level of cultivation.

Although these six months seem to be a leisurely time, my daily schedule is also full of classes.

In addition to studying medicine, he also learned how to refine fourth-grade elixirs. At this time, Zhong Lin was already a fourth-grade alchemist, and was an astonishing presence in the entire Jianding Sect.

Before Zhong Lin came into being, the entire Jianding Sect only had two fourth-grade alchemists, one was their own master Yin Daoyan, and the other was Elder Lianshan of Fenghuofeng.

A seventeen-year-old fourth-grade alchemist would be an eye-catching presence anywhere, mainly because his age is so intimidating.

Because of his obsession with alchemy, Zhong Lin's martial arts cultivation was slightly delayed, and now he has only just reached the point of perfecting his Qi, but he can start the next stage of "opening the meridians".

"The so-called meridian opening is to use internal energy to open up the twelve meridians of the human body. These are the three yin meridians of the hand, the three yang meridians of the hand, the three yin meridians of the foot, the three yang meridians of the foot, the yang qiao meridian, the yin qiao meridian, the yang wei meridian, the yin wei meridian, the belt meridian, the Chong meridian, the ren meridian, and the governor meridian."

"Especially the last two meridians, Ren and Du. Once they are opened, the internal energy will flow continuously, and all meridians will be open. There will be no more obscurity."

“Therefore, the Tongmai Realm is also known as the Twelve Levels of Tongmai, and Master is currently at the ninth level.”

"However, the meridians are extremely fragile, so you must not rush. Not only do they need to be opened up, but they also need to be nurtured and widened. You must be even more careful than when practicing Qi and blood storage. After all, problems with the internal organs can cause various injuries, and problems with the meridians can lead to direct paralysis."

Just as Zhong Lin was thinking, he heard footsteps in the distance. A female disciple from the sect appeared in front of him and said timidly, "Brother Zhong, the sect master has summoned you. Please come quickly."

Zhong Lin slowly stood up: "Thank you, Junior Sister."

The sect leader summoned him, so Zhong Lin did not dare to delay and quickly headed towards the main peak.

Zhong Lin's speed was very fast and steady. Every step seemed to have been measured, neither more nor less, and the distance was exactly the same.

This is also one of Zhong Lin's achievements in the past six months. He has never missed the first and fifteenth day of every month in the Transmission Pavilion. Now he has emptied nearly half of it, and he can use all kinds of martial arts at will.
