Becoming a god begins with the evolution of acupoint supernatural powers.

Chapter 85 The True Understanding of Acupoints! The Ambush by the Earth Dragon Beast!

Lu Ming turned his head in confusion and saw a white-haired head peeking out from the counter next to the outer storeroom of the sect.

The old man rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked him over carefully, and smiled, "You must be the new core disciple, Lu Ming, right?"

Lu Ming used his Heavenly Leakage Divine Power to take a look. The old man's aura was restrained yet quite powerful. He was at least a peak-level Tempering Realm figure and should be the sect elder guarding the outer treasury.

He quickly bowed and said, "This disciple greets Elder. May I ask how Elder comes to know this disciple?"

The old man laughed and said, "I am not yet an elder. Although the Myriad Manifestations Sect has fallen to the second-rate level, it still retains many of the habits of a first-rate sect. One who has reached the Tempering Realm is not yet an elder."

You can call me Old Zhou.

"I know all the core disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect. You are wearing the core disciple's robes, but I have never seen you before. You must be the newly arrived Rank A genius."

Lu Ming said with slight respect, "Elder Zhou has discerning eyes. This disciple is indeed Lu Ming, and I have come here today to select a cultivation technique."

Old Zhou nodded and said, "You do indeed still have one hundred contribution points. Would you like to choose a cultivation technique? Come with me."

As Old Zhou spoke, he stepped down from the counter, put his hands behind his back, and slowly led him to the martial arts area in the outer storeroom.

Lu Ming was immediately shocked by the library-like scene. All the bookshelves were filled with cultivation techniques.

"Fist techniques, palm techniques, knife techniques, sword techniques —"

Each bookshelf has a label that clearly indicates the attribute of the cultivation technique on that shelf.

The dazzling array of martial arts techniques overwhelmed Lu Ming.

If he learns all of these martial arts techniques, wouldn't his various martial arts experience bonuses be incredibly high?

Lu Ming's eyes lit up as he sensed the second benefit of the sect: not only did it provide cultivation resources, but it also had a large number of secret manuals.

Especially these secret manuals, which are related to his supernatural abilities panel, made him overjoyed to see so many techniques at once, and he felt that this was the place he should be in.

"Hehe—" Old Zhou smiled slightly when he saw Lu Ming's shocked expression.

Every martial artist from a small town is like this.

In the county towns below, second-rate martial arts techniques are considered family treasures, but here, they are just ordinary.

Old Zhou said, "Take your time choosing, but remember to pay attention to the contribution required for the cultivation technique. If it exceeds your contribution, you can't take it even if you really like it."

These words immediately brought Lu Ming back to his senses, and a sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.

Yes, this isn't a real library. The books here are all wrapped in a thin film, so he can only see the names and descriptions of the techniques.

To view the content, you must make the corresponding contribution.

Moreover, although there are many martial arts techniques, not all of them can increase his martial arts experience.

Only similar techniques with different underlying principles can provide experience bonuses.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming calmed down completely. Seeing that Elder Zhou was about to leave, he quickly said, "Elder Zhou, please wait a moment. This disciple has something to ask you."

Old Zhou stopped, puzzled, and asked, "What is it?"

Lu Ming respectfully said, "I see that these are all martial arts techniques such as palm techniques, knife techniques, and fist techniques."

"This disciple wishes to find a type of martial art that specifically targets the body, such as improving physical strength, recovery ability, and endurance."

"But I don't seem to see this category?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhou pondered for a long time before suddenly realizing, "What you're looking for should be the Qigong for health preservation."

"Health-preserving exercises?" Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat. "What are health-preserving exercises?"

Old Master Zhou said: "As the name suggests, health preservation exercises are mainly used to maintain health. They are usually not very harmful and focus on conditioning the body."

"The effects you mentioned, such as improving physical strength and recovery ability, are the benefits of health-preserving exercises."

"It is said that a long time ago, the art of health cultivation also had its own lineage."

"However, in the end, the way of health preservation disappeared into the long river of history."

"In today's highly competitive world, practitioners of health cultivation techniques lack combat power and their cultivation is slow, often falling behind others. If they fall behind by one step, they will fall behind by the next."

"In recent centuries, few people have chosen health-preserving exercises as their primary practice."

"Although my Myriad Manifestations Sect possesses this type of cultivation technique, you cannot exchange for it now."

Lu Ming was initially disappointed when he heard the last part, but then he asked in confusion, "Is it because too many contribution points are required?"

'

Old Zhou laughed and said, "That's one reason, but even if you have enough contribution points now, you can't exchange for it. It's in the sect's secret vault, the supreme martial art of my Myriad Manifestations Sect, the Myriad Manifestations Divine Art."

As he spoke, he sighed, "The Myriad Manifestations Divine Art is very difficult to cultivate, and it is a health-preserving art. It has been gathering dust in the secret vault for hundreds of years, and no one has chosen to cultivate it."

"If you can become a promising disciple of the sect, you will have another chance to enter the sect's secret vault. If you make enough contributions at that time, you can choose to cultivate."

"However, I must advise you not to choose it. There have been top-tier geniuses who chose to cultivate the Myriad Manifestations Divine Art, only to regret it later."

Ultimate Technique! Myriad Manifestations Divine Skill! Sect's Secret Treasury!

Lu Ming's eyes lit up after hearing what Old Zhou said.

Unexpectedly, the only health-preserving technique of the Wanxiang Sect is actually a unique skill.

As long as he can become a promising disciple of the Dao lineage, he can enter the sect's secret vault and gain the qualification to exchange for the Myriad Manifestations Divine Skill.

Lu Ming thought to himself, others might regret it, but he wouldn't. After all, his cultivation yielded double benefits; besides the Myriad Manifestations Divine Art itself, he could also manifest supernatural abilities.

Moreover, his repeated use of supernatural powers will advance those powers and enhance his talent for that type of martial art. As long as he persists in his training and his talent continues to increase, he will eventually be able to learn the Myriad Manifestations Divine Art.

By then, his physical abilities will have improved, and he will be able to withstand more inertial forces. Inertial forces can be increased indefinitely, so cultivating the Myriad Manifestations Divine Art is definitely worthwhile.

He immediately said, "I understand, thank you for reminding me, Elder Zhou."

Old Zhou could tell from his expression that he hadn't listened, so he shook his head and said nothing more. Whether Lu Ming can become a promising disciple of the Dao lineage is still unknown.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, you are a Grade A genius. According to the sect's rules, you can be rewarded with two hundred contribution points, so you now have a total of three hundred contribution points."

Lu Ming was taken aback when he heard this; Wu Qingfeng had not mentioned this matter to him.

Wu Qingfeng gave him all 10,000 contribution points, so he wouldn't steal 200 contribution points from him.

Lu Ming quietly placed his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, and with a whoosh, the world instantly brightened, and a scene within a radius of thirty feet appeared in his mind.

At that moment, he sensed a kindness in Old Zhou's gaze and suddenly understood. He immediately said gratefully, "Thank you, Old Zhou!"

"Just thank yourself." Old Zhou chuckled and turned to leave.

Actually, the sect doesn't have this rule.

However, he was getting old, and there was no point in keeping the contribution points, so he would occasionally send some disciples he liked to the sect in the name of the sect.

He only hoped that Wanxiangmen could stop its downward trend and that its grade would not drop any further.

Lu Ming ultimately chose an acupoint cultivation technique, "True Explanation of Acupoints," a first-rate martial art that required 280 contribution points, which was fortunately enough.

Upon returning home, he eagerly opened the manual and began to peruse it carefully.

The more he looked, the more surprised he became. He had felt that this was the kind of cultivation technique he wanted after reading the introduction, and when he opened it, he found that it was exactly what he wanted!

"The True Explanation of Acupoints" explains the differences between various acupoints and the different effects caused by acupressure techniques.

Fatal acupoint, laughing acupoint, itchy acupoint, immobilization acupoint—these different effects made him eager to learn more.

He had been wondering before that the acupoints in this world did not have the effects he had heard of before.

Now, after seeing the annotations at the end of the True Explanation of Acupoints, he understood that because the tradition of acupoints had been lost and there were no acupoint masters to pass it on, there were few people who could even find acupoints now, let alone point out their various effects.

Lu Ming's acupoint talent has improved due to the minor success of the Heavenly Leakage Divine Power. Moreover, the Heavenly Leakage Divine Power allows him to directly see acupoints without having to sense them himself, so his cultivation of the True Understanding of Acupoints is quite smooth.

[Evolving acupoint supernatural power (734/100000) ————]

[Currently evolving Claw Dao supernatural power (4507/10000) ————]

After one cultivation session, Lu Ming glanced at his acupoint experience and was immediately delighted. Before this, his acupoint experience had stopped at 692.

point.

Now, each training session directly increases the points by 42.

Considering that I started gaining acupoint experience one point at a time, the current efficiency is terrifying.

Even though evolving the fourth acupoint supernatural power requires 100,000 experience points, he can gain a full 2520 experience points a day with such efficiency.

In less than forty days, he was able to accumulate 100,000 experience points and evolve the fourth acupoint supernatural power.

Not bad.

Lu Ming felt a great deal of progress and was excited, so he continued to cultivate.

The next day was the day Li Youning moved out of Qingning Prefecture.

She chose to go around noon, and Lu Ming left early to see if there was anything he could help with.

But as soon as he stepped down from the mountain gate, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

-

Under the Heavenly Leak's vision, three hundred feet away underground, at the edge that the Heavenly Leak's divine power could barely see, a terrifying aura was quietly lurking.

Lu Ming's pupils contracted slightly; this aura was—

Earth Dragon Beast!

Moreover, its aura was slightly different from the one in Chiyun County; it was not the same one.

There was actually an earth dragon beast guarding outside the Myriad Manifestations Gate; was it coming for him?

Lu Ming thought of the suspicious points about Guo Yuan and instantly became vigilant.

He thought for a moment, then turned and went back to Wanxiang Gate.

A short while later, he calmly descended the mountain, continuing his journey towards the Golden Tripod Money Exchange.
