Demons and monsters wreak havoc: gain one new confidante every day.

The "opening of the acupoints" at the second rank is far more risky than Shen You imagined.

The moment all the energy and power in his body rushed into his head, Shen You felt as if his head was about to split open.

Every minute and every second after that became torture.

His energy could not find the hidden acupoints in his head. His preparation was not sufficient, and his seven orifices were not strong enough, so his energy could only fill his head, surging and raging, with nowhere to go.

He tried hard to recall every detail of the Chongqiao point from his memory.

The process of opening the acupoints, besides requiring a long period of gentle, persistent effort and using force to break through the acupoints, can also utilize...

The Green Bag Classic!

His already blurred consciousness recalled the effects of the "Qing Nang Jing" in making people's ears and eyes clear and helping to open the orifices. He naturally started to circulate the "Qing Nang Jing" in his body.

The "Qing Nang Jing," now at its peak, mobilized his Qi, guiding it along a balanced and peaceful path within his body, gradually bringing a refreshing sensation.

The sensation surged into his head, making the torment in his head a little easier to bear.

He seemed to vaguely sense the existence of the acupoints.

But this is not enough.

After all, the "Qing Nang Jing" is not yet complete, and his acupoints have not been trained to their full potential. Sometimes, even a small difference can make a world of difference.

He had no other choice but to close his eyes and search desperately for that tiny, barely visible acupoint within his skull.

How is the outside world? How much time has passed? Am I about to be killed by the myriad poisons?

These conflicting thoughts were quickly dismissed by Shen You.

He had already made a desperate gamble, attempting to open his meridians in front of all the poisons, so he had no way out.

If we fail here, we will only die.

If we can break through this predicament, we may be able to defeat Wan Du and hope to rescue Xiao Hui!

"Find it! We must find it!"

Shen You roared inwardly.

Driven by an intense will, Shen You had unleashed his full potential. The "Unwavering in the face of death" talent he received from Hong Xiugu played a crucial role at this moment, allowing him to maintain his composure and avoid collapse even in such a difficult situation.

As long as there is support, there is hope.

But where will that hope come from?

Feelings of hope and despair constantly swirled in Shen You's heart.

Shen You was like a lone boat in a storm, struggling to survive in a turbulent environment.

"No, I can't hold on any longer..."

Just as Shen You's willpower was exhausted and she was about to faint.

He suddenly felt a soft, smooth hand gently caressing his face, and soon after, a fragrant pill was put into his mouth.

The moment the pill entered the mouth, the sweet juice spread out, and a warm current flowed from the throat into the lower abdomen, then miraculously into the limbs and bones, flowing back up to the head along the circulation route of the Qingnang Scripture.

【Qing Nang Jing (Da Cheng 157/1000)】

【Qing Nang Jing (Da Cheng 432/1000)】

【Qing Nang Jing (Da Cheng 867/1000)】

【Qing Nang Jing (Da Cheng 1000/1000)】

The "Qing Nang Jing" is complete!

It's unclear what grade of pill it is, but in just a few breaths, it pushed Shen You's "Qing Nang Jing" to perfection.

Shen You felt the medicinal power within her body was surging forth with an inexhaustible stream of energy, constantly flowing into her body, strengthening her original energy while refining it to be more solid and pure.

Shen You's energy was originally light and airy, like clouds suspended in the air, but now it gradually transformed into heavy mist settling on the ground.

The quality of Qi Jin underwent a leap forward at this moment.

Only then did Shen You realize that although his previous energy had seemingly filled his chest and reached the limit of the second rank, it was still true.

However, the purity of his internal energy is insufficient, and there is still a considerable gap compared to the peak of a true second-grade master.

At this moment, the elixir finally helped him close the gap, allowing him to truly reach the peak of the second rank.

With his inner energy transforming into mist, he now truly possessed the ability to "open his acupoints".

The energy, like a dense fog, seeped into his head, penetrating every nook and cranny.

The perfected "Qingnang Jing" continued to circulate, causing seven vague acupoints to faintly appear between his skull.

Those were his seven orifices, which finally began to appear under the influence of the "Qing Nang Jing".

The atomized energy finally gained enough pressure and began to slowly seep into the seven orifices.

Unbeknownst to him, Shen You's body trembled, and the true "opening of the acupoints" had begun.

When a second-rank martial artist is "opening up" his orifices, he will choose one of the four orifices—eyes, ears, mouth, or nose—to make a breakthrough.

After the breakthrough, not only will one advance to the third rank and greatly increase their strength, but they will also receive a special boost in the acupoints specifically designed for breakthroughs.

For example, if one breaks through the eye aperture to reach the third rank, one can see more clearly and accurately; if one breaks through the ear aperture to reach the third rank, one can hear farther; and there are also corresponding enhancements to the mouth and nose apertures.

Shen You then entered the "Opening the Acupoints" stage, and was finally able to choose the enhancement he needed.

"My eyes, ears, mouth, and nose are all in good condition, but I need to integrate the 'Five Poisons Great Power' later, which requires more meticulous observation, so I need to... enhance my 'eyesight'!"

Without much hesitation, Shen You made her choice.

After all, it's just something that adds to the beauty, so there's no point in dwelling on it.

Shen You consciously channeled his energy, directing it towards his eye sockets.

He felt his eyeballs begin to itch, as if they were under tremendous pressure. Inside his eye sockets, his eyeballs even began to swell and deform, as if a surge of energy was about to burst forth from them.

"Be patient! Don't rush, let things take their course!"

Shen You steadied herself and silently recited the mantra.

His talent of "unwavering in the face of death" proved invaluable at this moment, allowing him to maintain inner peace during this critical time.

Often, this mindset is the secret to breakthroughs in martial arts.

Cultivating martial arts is like walking a tightrope high in the air; going too fast or too slow could lead to utter destruction.

Only with the most stable mindset can one forge a path to heaven on this perilous cableway.

At this moment, Shen You did just that perfectly.

When the energy finally broke through the eye sockets, it flowed throughout the entire head along an unprecedented route.

For the first time, the head and body were connected and integrated, forming a constantly functioning little world.

According to traditional martial arts, this is called opening up the Ren and Du meridians, forming a small circulation within the body. From then on, Shen You's meridians are smooth and unified, and his Qi circulates continuously. He can mobilize it at will, creating enormous pressure in localized areas at any time, and his every move has immense power.

This is also the difference between the third rank and the second rank.

The second rank opens the heart's acupoints, making the breath long and increasing endurance. The third rank, although it only opens the acupoints in the head, actually connects all the meridians in the body, causing a qualitative change from a quantitative change, naturally far surpassing the second rank.

Shen You's internal energy accelerated at this moment, and the five illusory images of the Five Poisons seemed to be visible from within his body. Shen You could also see a purple aura flowing within his body, which was the deadly poison that Wan Du had previously inflicted on him.

Shen You used his internal energy to send the purple energy into the Five Poisons Phantom. In an instant, the Five Poisons Phantom grew much larger, while the purple energy melted away like ice and snow. In just a moment, the poison in his body was completely neutralized, and his poison skills were vigorously activated, bringing him to his peak state.

Shen You opened his eyes, and his gaze, enhanced by his enhanced eye aperture, pierced through like a divine light, directly targeting the myriad poisons not far away.

Shen You immediately saw Hong Xiugu desperately guarding in front of him, while Tian Yier simultaneously displayed solid and solid phantom images of a white ape and a cloud crane, desperately resisting the attack of the myriad poisons.

As if sensing something, Wan Du turned his gaze toward Shen You.

The moment he met Shen You's gaze, he trembled violently, and an expression of extreme shock appeared on his face.
