From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

What is the Meridian Flow Theory?

During the Yin hour (3-5 PM), Qi and blood flow to the Lung Meridian; during the Wu hour (11-1 PM), Qi and blood flow to the Heart Meridian.

This is a natural law of the human body and does not require deliberate adjustment; all healthy people are like this.

Therefore.

Those who cultivate themselves, focusing on refining Qi, only seek the eight extraordinary meridians and do not need to consider the twelve regular meridians. This is because the twelve regular meridians, which have a direct internal-external relationship with the five internal organs and six bowels, will naturally connect Qi and blood throughout the body.

Qi and blood, with Qi being Yang and blood being Yin, are also important foundations for maintaining the Yin-Yang balance in the human body. At the same time, they also affect the fluctuations of positive and negative emotions at the mental level.

The Twelve Labors Formation uses the rhythm of one's own twelve meridians to evoke resonance in the twelve meridians of others, thereby influencing their internal organs and positive and negative emotions.

However, using the twelve meridians to create a small-scale energy field, similar to the Qimen Dunjia formation, is a technique—

This is truly the first time I've ever seen this!

Compared to the Qimen Dunjia system based on the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the Qimen Dunjia system based on the Twelve Regular Meridians has a much smaller scope, but it seems to have stronger control over individual Qimen Dunjia spells!

For example, Jin Ge's control over "luck" makes it easier for him to manipulate good and bad fortune!

This is likely because the twelve meridians have a direct internal-external relationship with the five internal organs, making them easier to control. Furthermore, since the twelve meridians control positive and negative emotions, people who enter their Qimen Dunjia formation are more likely to lose control of their emotions and thus break down.

"Is it actually a technique similar to Qimen Dunjia? We really shouldn't underestimate the capabilities of the West."

Upon hearing about the essence of Jin Ge's abilities, Lu Jin seemed thoughtful. "So, Brother Jiang, you'd like to learn from him, wouldn't you?"

"After all, I have obtained the Twelve Labors Formation. If I can use it to simulate Qimen techniques based on the Twelve Meridians, I may be able to replenish the Qimen in my body."

Jiang Liu smiled casually, "The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams have already been formed. How can the Twelve Yuan Chen, which follow the flow of Qi and blood, be omitted? The Twelve Primary Meridians are the natural flow patterns of Qi and blood in the human body. If they can be incorporated into Qimen Dunjia, the control over the timing and temperature will be even more precise!"

"Number five, it's your turn."

After all the members of Team Four passed, Robin addressed Jiang Liu and the others.

"Oh no! We haven't even thought of a way yet!" Evelyn exclaimed. "How are we going to get over there?"

"Just follow me."

That's all.

Jiang Liu took the lead, stepping out without regard for the rule that he could not step on the square black and white tiles, and walked over as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.

“It looks like Jiang Liu is going to ‘give up’.” Duanmu Ying said thoughtfully to Jack and the others, “Let’s just walk over there. Being logistics personnel might be safer.”

"That's true."

So many people died just from the testing; who knows what kind of trouble it would cause if the actual exploration of Atlantis were to take place.

Therefore, even though the members of Team Five had their own thoughts, they were quite united and followed Jiang Liu slowly as they walked past.

Seeing this, the members of the other four teams seemed to understand how so many of them had survived the previous two tests—truly forming a team centered around one person.

Once everyone in Team Five had reached the finish line, the robin stood up and announced the result: "Team Five - All passed."

"what?"

The other four teams were not calm.

Despite their great efforts and abilities, one team was still eliminated, while Team 5 managed to have all members pass.

They clearly broke the rules, so why did everyone pass?

Behind the scenes?

Or are there other rules?

The rest of the team members, except for Jiang Liu, were also extremely surprised.

"Brother Jiang?"

Lu Jin suspected that the robin had some kind of conspiracy.

But Jiang Liu simply said, "The rules only say that no part of your body can touch the black and white square tiles, but where are the square tiles in the field?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin hurriedly used his mental energy to scan and compare, and was surprised to find that the floor tiles in the room were indeed rectangular, with the length exceeding the width by five centimeters. If one did not observe carefully, it would be difficult to notice.

Are there no square floor tiles?

The members of the other teams were taken aback and hurriedly measured in their own way. They found that the square floor tiles in the field were 55 centimeters long but only 50 centimeters wide. Even a cultivator would not be able to tell at first glance that the floor tiles in the field were rectangular.

“Strictly speaking, only we passed the ‘wisdom’ test, while the other four teams relied on their abilities, right?” Lu Jin looked at teams number two, three, and four, deep in thought.

No, that's not true.

Jiang Liu, however, had a different view: "Their abilities are also the crystallization of wisdom accumulated by their ancestors. The application of their abilities is an inheritance of the wisdom of their predecessors, so they also rely on 'wisdom'."

"Your definition of wisdom is quite broad!"

Duanmu Ying was speechless. Her true thoughts were: compared to the other two tests, this third test was simply a joke!

# Chapter 722 Before the Formal Exploration —

Playing around?

It's just playing around.

Jiang Liu remained calm after learning of Duanmu Ying's thoughts.

What are the rules for testing these three elements of trust, cooperation, and wisdom? It's just a saying by the robin and Anselm, which could be more aptly described as a game.

The reason why this third test is considered a joke is simply because their fifth team has "delayed" for too long, which has led to the selection of other Atlantis exploration teams from the G-Society branch, who are heading towards Mauritania and will soon join them.

If we don't finish this soon, when the other teams and their respective branch leaders arrive, they'll probably laugh at Robin's incompetence.

"Congratulations on passing the test!"

The robin raised its arms high, its face full of excitement, like a principal at a school opening ceremony, and launched into a long speech of compliments, praises, commendations, and expectations.

However, everyone still learned some useful things from it.

First, the exploration of Atlantis will officially begin in three days, and they will have three days to communicate with each other.

Secondly, the Violinist, the Masked Woman, the Deadshot, the Ragdoll, and the Cheshire Cat will be the joint captains of the four teams that pass all three tests.

Third, the robin is affiliated with the G-Economy and is the president of its North African branch.

Fourth, they are not the only team exploring Atlantis; members from other branches will also gather here in two days.

Fifth, Atlantis is located in the Sahara Desert!

The fifth one is the most surprising: the legendary Atlantis was not sunk in the Atlantic Ocean, but was located in the desert.

This defied their expectations!

Only Jiang Liu was not very surprised, saying, "It is not uncommon for continental plates to drift and tectonic movements to turn oceans into land."

Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying also knew some things about geological movements.

such as:

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was once an ocean.

Although this matter has not been confirmed in this era, there is a brief introduction in the encyclopedia that Jiang Liu brought back from another parallel universe. The strong evidence that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was once an ocean is the discovery of many marine fossils there.

If the location of Atalanta was an ocean millions or even hundreds of millions of years ago, and is now a desert, it can be completely explained by geological activity!

"Our goal is to explore the ancient alchemical techniques within the ruins of Atlantis and find the legendary artifact crafted by Thoth himself: the Trident of Poseidon!"

The robin grew increasingly excited, “Then we will control the whole world! And you will come into contact with a whole new world!”

applause--

It did not ring.

Everyone watched quietly as the robin spoke freely.

There's an old saying: As long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

So the robin didn't take it seriously and continued, "After you find Atlantis, if you want wealth, I will give you wealth; if you want honor, I will give you honor!"

And the ascetics among you can obtain the ancient alchemical techniques of Atlantis!

It will definitely boost your strength!

In an instant.

All five teams, including the members of Team One who were eliminated in the third test and relegated to the logistics personnel, were chanting the slogan "Explore Atlantis".

Jiang Liu had to admit that, as the president, Robin was indeed very good at inspiring people and could even accurately grasp the desires of most people on site.

wealth!

honor!

strength!

If you find Atlantis, you will find all three of these!

How could the explorers in the team, as well as most of the cultivators, not crave it?

Most of the people present who possessed supernatural abilities could hardly be called "cultivators"; they were merely slaves to power...

···

Years are like a shuttle.

Two days passed quietly between sunrise and sunset, and Jiang Liu and the others had become somewhat familiar with Ango, Jax, Jagata, Zubo, and Jin Ge.

Ango is somewhat submissive, but when faced with injustice, he will choose to resist, verbally, until his bottom line is crossed, at which point he will resort to physical violence.

Jax is a free spirit, with an unconventional personality, but we can't tell much else about him yet.

Jagata, on the other hand, was a rich girl who was quite caring. She showed concern for everyone over the two days, and many people found her enthusiasm overwhelming.

Zu Bo is a rather aloof middle-aged woman who doesn't talk much and prefers to be alone.

Jin Ge, a middle-aged man with an unstable mental state, sometimes acting erratically and sometimes lucidly, is believed to have mental problems caused by excessive stress.

This is the situation that these five people are currently exhibiting.

As for Kafmo—

No one wants to be close to a madman who kills his teammates in order to pass the "intelligence" test.
