Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 164 We must get rid of Zhou Qing, this troublesome person.

Zhou Qing had indeed been thinking about opening up multiple dantian.

Originally, it was only to increase the power of spells.

His spiritual energy is mixed. While the total amount is similar to others, the amount of spiritual energy in a single element is only one-fifth of that in others. This results in the spells he uses always being less powerful than spells of the same level.

However, he doesn't actually crave it that much anymore.

Because he possessed the Rejuvenation Technique, which could enhance his magnetic field abilities with spiritual energy, he was no longer as eager to cultivate magic.

However, if one can open up more dantian and store more spiritual energy in the body, the power of the Rejuvenating Tree Technique should also be stronger.

Therefore, if the conditions are right, he naturally hopes to obtain the corresponding method.

Although the notes collected by Du Ziming did not contain the methods for the upper and middle dantian, but rather some lessons learned from failures, he might still be able to analyze something useful from them.

Zhou Qing thanked Du Ziming sincerely, then took his leave and returned to Ziyun Mountain.

Du Ziming did not linger at the sect and set off for the Crimson Fire Sect that very day to negotiate matters related to the Fire Golden Needle.

Back at his residence, Zhou Qing immediately opened the ancient notebook and began to study it carefully.

A rustic and simple atmosphere wafted over me.

The notes reveal the confusion of the Qi practitioners in that primitive era, as well as their fervent pursuit of the Dao.

At that time, the methods of cultivation for humans had not yet been determined, and the peak of Qi Refining was the end of cultivation.

Countless cultivators are willing to risk their lives to explore realms beyond Qi Refining.

This notebook records such an exploration.

There are 365 acupoints on the human body. In ancient times, people explored these acupoints extensively, hoping to use them as places to store spiritual energy.

In the end, only the Qihai, Tanzhong, and Niwan Palace acupoints were successfully treated.

This notebook details the locations of more than a dozen acupoints, as well as the process and consequences of practitioners using spiritual energy to impact these acupoints.

After reading the text carefully, Zhou Qing concluded that the reason these acupoints failed was because, compared to the three dantian, these acupoints were inherently small and fragile, making it difficult for them to withstand the impact of spiritual energy.

This is an inherent weakness that cannot be remedied.

Zhou Qing's heart stirred.

Just because others can't do it doesn't mean he can't.

From the first day of his cultivation, only one-fifth of the spiritual energy he absorbed entered his meridians, while four-fifths nourished his physical body.

This gives his physical body greater strength, stronger defense, and greater regenerative ability.

When he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, his physical body will surely be elevated to an incredible level, and he may be able to withstand the pain of opening acupoints.

However, these are all just speculations, and they can only be verified when one reaches the Foundation Establishment stage.

Before he could establish his foundation, he needed his senior uncles and elder brothers to help him collect as many ancient notes as possible.

Besides the information about opening the dantian, there were other pieces of information in the notes that also caught Zhou Qing's attention.

It turns out that in ancient times, there was a distinction between the immortal path and the demonic path.

In ancient times, the demonic path was even more rampant. The notes often record demonic disasters in certain places, resulting in thousands of miles of barren land, or the sacrifice of tens of thousands of lives.

This was the first time Zhou Qing had heard of the concept of blood sacrifice, which seemed to be a very important ritual for demonic cultivators.

According to the notes, demonic cultivators can gain incredible power through blood sacrifice. However, the details of the blood sacrifice are vague in the notes, and Zhou Qing can sense a strong sense of dread between the lines, as if the author of the notes did not want this terrible secret technique to be passed down to future generations.

Closing his notebook, Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh with melancholy.

All known information seemed to confirm his ominous suspicion.

Demonic cultivators have blood sacrifice techniques. Since it is called a blood sacrifice, there must be an object to be sacrificed, right?

Zhou Qing thought of the thunderous, frenzied power he had witnessed in his mental world.

Over the past two months, he has visited the world of his mind several times, and each time he has felt the terrifying power of that force more intensely. Moreover, as his cultivation level has improved, he has found it increasingly difficult to resist.

Zhou Qing suddenly felt a strong sense of urgency.

He must quickly improve his cultivation level. A storm is brewing, and he cannot afford to lament his weakness when the storm arrives.

……

Du Ziming's negotiations with the Crimson Fire Sect went smoothly. On behalf of the Azure Cloud Sect, he signed a cooperation agreement with the Crimson Fire Sect.

The terms of the treaty were similar to those with the Longevity Sect. Both parties stipulated the prices of their respective talismans, thus enabling them to cooperate in dividing the market. They also agreed to set up counters in each other's shops to sell each other's specific products, thereby jointly expanding the market.

The introduction of the Fire Gold Needle immediately caused a sensation in the cultivation world of the Western Continent.

Having invented two powerful talismans, Thorn Wrap and Fire Gold Needle, Zhou Qing has already gained considerable fame in the cultivation world, even though he has not yet left the sect to travel on his own.

This is naturally a good thing for Zhou Qing and Mu Zhuosha's faction, but it may not be so for the affiliated families.

Although the affiliated families are all affiliated families, they are not a monolithic entity.

Some large affiliated families control several or even dozens of shops within the sect, including shops near Golden Core sects, earning substantial incomes. Other affiliated families, however, only manage peripheral shops, earning meager incomes, yet they must join forces with the powerful affiliated families to resist the trend initiated by Zhou Qing.

They naturally had their own thoughts.

As Zhou Qing's reputation grew, it gradually showed an unstoppable trend. These weak affiliated families began to consider switching sides to Zhou Qing's faction, but they could not make up their minds and remained hesitant and observing.

Those powerful affiliated families, led by Fang, Lü, Xu, Mu, and Wei, naturally sensed the change in mentality among them.

They understood that once affiliated families began to side with Mu Zhuosha, their decline would be unstoppable.

They must do something beforehand to dispel those people's ideas.

There is only one person who caused this situation, and that is Zhou Qing. To solve the problem, we must start with Zhou Qing.

So the five major families held a secret meeting to discuss how to deal with Zhou Qing, this troublesome person.
The five major families all had their ancestral homes near the sect, so they could easily gather together.

On this day, the heads of the five families secretly arrived at the Mu family.

They are Mu Yunhe from the Mu family, Xu Jingtian from the Xu family, Fang Dalin from the Fang family, Lü Cenzhong from the Lü family, and Wei Xing from the Wei family.

"We must get rid of Zhou Qing, this troublesome guy!"

Wei Xing spoke first.

He still harbors deep resentment at Wei Kuang's passing.

He didn't blame himself for forcing Wei Kuang to make an unacceptable choice; instead, he blamed Zhou Qing for having a negative influence on Wei Kuang, and therefore wished he could erase Zhou Qing from this world immediately.

Mu Yunhe said, "Don't act rashly. Zhou Qing cannot die."
