Practice starts with skill points.

Chapter 146 Seal
"Brother, thank you for your support along the way. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to reach Kyoto."

Jiang Yuan bowed deeply to the carriage.

Zhong Lin did not get off the carriage. He spoke in a deep voice through the curtains, "As the saying goes, once you enter a noble family, it's like entering a deep sea. The imperial family is even deeper than that. Junior Sister Jiang, my mission is over. What happens next depends on you. I hope you will think carefully about every step."

"Junior sister, please remember this."

Zhong Lin slowly stood up and walked out of the carriage. Jiang Yuan was still bowing and did not stand up. A strong sense of malice could be felt from a distance.

Zhong Lin ignored him, glanced at the city gate of the capital, laughed, jumped up, turned around and rode a tall horse towards the distance.

It’s really strange that no one went into the city to take a look.

Watching Zhong Lin walk away, Jiang Yuan sighed inwardly, and after a long while, he said, "Senior Brother Zhong Lin is like a cloud in the sky, drifting freely and unrestrained. No one can control his life. Perhaps only people like him can truly reach the pinnacle of martial arts."

"Princess, the people from the Ministry of Rites have been kneeling for a long time. Should we…"

Niu Dali said cautiously.

"Let them continue to kneel."

Jiang Yuan turned his head to look at his brothers. There was no trace of family affection, but instead endless coldness.

"I'm back, and it's time for you to pay the price."

After saying that, he walked back to the carriage. It was okay for Niu Dali to drive the car himself.

……

Zhong Lin did not return the same way, but headed towards Tianyang County. After being away for so long, he planned to go back and take a look before returning to the sect.

Moreover, he has been protecting Jiang Yuan all the way, and now he wants to enjoy the scenery along the road.

When practicing martial arts to the fourth level of Tongmai Realm, the meridians in the hands and feet have been completely opened, and the next is the Yinqiao Meridian among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

The Yin Qiao is the root of the entire human body's energy system. Almost all energy starts from here. It starts from the Zhaohai point of the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian below the medial malleolus, goes along the back of the medial malleolus to at least the calf, through the anterior yin, along the abdomen and chest, into the clavicle fossa Quepen point, goes out in front of the Renying point, passes by the side of the nose to the inner corner of the eye, and meets with the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian, and Yang Qiao Meridian.

It can be said to be the basis for consolidating essence. Generally, completing the meridian unblocking can consolidate yang and lock essence, creating a leak-free body. When refining essence into qi, you can get twice the result with half the effort, and you will be full of energy. Even if you fight for several days in a row, you will not feel tired at all.

Zhong Lin rode slowly on the horse's back, and his internal energy had already gathered into threads and began to explore the acupuncture points where the Yin Qiao meridian ran.

The full-level "Linghan Sword Scripture" allows Zhong Lin to practice while walking, sitting or lying down. He can do two things at once, and opening meridians and breaking acupoints is naturally no problem, but the speed is slower.

In the evening, Zhong Lin stopped to rest in a dilapidated temple.

There were no unexpected situations. It was just an ordinary mountain temple, and there was no chase scene.

Light a bonfire to keep away mosquitoes.

At this time, Zhong Lin was standing on an open space in the ruined temple, his feet still, his hands raised flatly. Suddenly, these hands suddenly changed in front of his eyes.

The speed was so fast at the beginning that even afterimages appeared, making it impossible to grasp.

But then the speed slowly slowed down. If the beginning was eight times or even sixteen times fast motion, then at this moment it was eight times or even sixteen times slow motion.

Every movement he made seemed to require careful consideration, giving the impression of an old ox pulling a broken cart. At the same time, Zhong Lin's body inexplicably felt solid, like the earth.

Although his movements were slow, they seemed extremely condensed. His hands were like huge battlements, forming a moving immortal Great Wall in front of him.

In an instant, Zhong Lin's wrist shook, and a seal suddenly paused, and then the invisible and powerful wall in front of him suddenly disappeared.

Zhong Lin's face also turned pale and he was breathing heavily.

"It still doesn't work. What kind of martial arts is this? It's not a fist technique, nor a sword technique, but a hand seal. How can a hand seal hurt someone?"

The so-called martial arts are nothing more than fists, palms, hooks, claws, or supplemented by various leg techniques and light skills, as well as weapons that extend from the hands and feet.

What Zhong Lin just performed was similar to the hand seals in Buddhism and Taoism, which had nothing to do with murderous martial arts.

Feeling that almost half of the internal energy in his dantian had been consumed, Zhong Lin didn't know what this strange martial art was, but he could confirm that it was definitely an extremely powerful martial art, otherwise it would not consume so much energy.

This seal technique was learned by Zhong Lin from a Qi training martial art called "Mian Zhang" that he learned in the sect's Transmission Pavilion.

It cannot be said to be a comprehension, but the seal itself is hidden in it, and it can only be discovered when the "Mian Zhang" is fully mastered.

"Mian Zhang" is also known as the Hidden Needle Palm. It is an extremely vicious martial art. When a palm is struck out, the internal energy is like a needle, which specifically damages the internal organs, but there is no scar on the surface.

Moreover, the needle-like internal energy can even conceal and delay time, which is somewhat similar to the life and death talisman in the novels of the previous life, but not as magical.

Zhong Lin learned this martial art in case he encountered some enemies that could not be killed temporarily but he did not want to let go. He could use this martial art to control them, which might have an unexpected effect.

I just didn't expect to find such a magical martial art in it.

"Even with my fifth-level Tongmai cultivation, I can't perform this technique. Is this a martial art unique to those above the first level?"

Zhong Lin couldn't help but guess in his heart.

He shook his head. There was no need to think too much about things that he couldn't figure out, just like the black iron ring that had been hidden in his arms. Since he couldn't solve it now, he would leave it for when he was stronger in the future.

He swallowed a pulse-protecting pill and drank a drop of ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow. He sat cross-legged with his five hearts facing the sky, circulated his internal energy, and quickly circulated it throughout his body.

As Zhong Lin continued to practice, the temperature in the mountain temple dropped instantly. A moment later, a layer of frost slowly formed on the broken tables and chairs, the broken stone statues behind him, and the walls.
You have to know that it is midsummer now, and the heat is unbearable even at night. The appearance of frost makes the entire mountain temple look weird.

The golden crow sets in the west and the sun rises in the east.

As the sun rises, the entire mountain temple is shrouded in a faint white mist rising into the air, which looks like a fairyland from afar.

Zhong Lin slowly opened his eyes, feeling his heart had recovered and become even stronger, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

This feeling of being able to feel himself getting stronger little by little every day is irreplaceable by any external things, and it makes Zhong Lin somewhat addicted to it.

"No wonder there are so many martial arts maniacs. This kind of continuous breakthrough and evolution towards a higher level is the true eternity. No desire in the world can compare with it." Zhong Lin thought secretly in his heart.

He took out some dry food from the package and swallowed it with water.

Feeling the sunshine outside, Zhong Lin jumped on his horse and set off again.
