1499 Words
He then dumps 42,120 thousand lightness skill points to both of the lightness technique, ranking them up almost immediately to grandmaster rank.
Li Xian felt like some of his meridian is about to burst and he felt that feeling of lightness once again filling his entire body
After that, the images started to appears in his mind. The images guide him on how to perform the lightness technique.
Then a few second after, Li Xian smiles bitterly.
It is good that he has more lightness skill techniques.
But it is a pity that his internal energy is insufficient. If he uses all of this lightness skill many times in a fight, his internal energy storage would not keep up.
The problem with Li Xian is his capacity of internal energy that he could use.
It is too little.
It is fine if he met some bumbling untalented martial artist like Wang Li.
But if he met a first rate elite of martial arts, he probably would not have such an easy fight. When it became a battle of attrition, Li Xian is at a disadvantage. This is a weakness that he himself acknowledge.
He looks at his other skill points and he nodded
‘Now, is the time for me to rank up my meridian’
As Li Xian is preoccupied with upgrading and ranking up his level, he did not notice that the old man, Bai Qingniu was actually not asleep.
Li Xian had waited for all of them to go asleep. While Bai Qingniu was waiting for Li Xian to go to sleep. Even though he is not a martial artist anymore, his know how is still a lot more than Li Xian and he just almost die.
For the kids it is easy for them to go sleep easily.
The old man after brushing with death, no longer could take things to simply. Because he had think to simply he had almost get buried in this forest and the fate of his disciple ad his granddaughter would clearly be horrendous to imagine
Even though Li Xian was only a kid, he still become cautious.
Especially because he had already been trapped once.
He waited and waited for Li Xian to sleep because only then he could be a bit relaxed.
He uses his breathing Detection Method.
This method is not a martial arts method instead it is the method in which he uses the breathing of his patient to determine the patient condition.
It is the combination of some internal martial arts and the principle of medicine. He waited for Li Xian breath to reach the breathing level of a person that is sleeping
But his wait did not end. Because he could detect that all the while, Li Xian, that kid did not sleep at all.
the more Li Xian acted like this, the more Bai Qingniu become cautious. He fears that there is another plot.
He is not that unaccustomed to such plots and schemes.
Even in his old days during the time he was one of the evil path, he knew that sometime the rescuers are actually another scheme planted by the mastermind.
The method is sinister and even many of the smart ones in the righteous path would get tricked by such methods.
Because nobody would have thought that their rescuers are also is in the same side as the enemy that they have just been rescued from
The Underworld Gate also recruited children so it is not out of the realms of possibilities that Li Xian is such children.
He did not like being suspicious of his benefactors but he had just been handed a cold splash of reality with the betrayal of Wang Li, so Bai Qingniu had no choice but to be suspicious.
He saw that the young boy went out of the yard. He got up and he follows the young kid while maintaining his stealth among the bushes.
Since he could detect other people breathing, that also means he could control his own breathing.
So, his whereabouts was not discovered by Li Xian. And the main point was Li Xian had never guarded against such possibilities.
The old man has no martial arts skill and have no internal energy.
The other two kids could not understand much about martial arts so Li Xian did not guard at all against the three people.
Not to mention, that the system has regarded the three person as one of the righteous path.
As such, Li Xian did not worry being schemed or being attacked by those three people.
He just didn’t want to uses his skill points and the other things he got from the system in front t of people because he didn’t want to be labeled like some crazy kid that live in the mountain forest or anything like that.
There is also the fact that Li Xian knows that there is nothing good if people think he have some kind of treasure.
So, Bai Qingniu had saw everything. And the more he saw the more he become shocked.
What kind of internal energy technique that this boy practiced?
Bai Qingniu also realize that he had misjudged the intention of the boy.
The boy wanted to practice in the night and as such the b oy did not sleep.
Bai Qingniu once heard that some martial artist would practice in the night.
Some martial arts did have some kind of training that needs to be trained at night like some assassins’ skill or stealth related skills.
The young boy did not want to disturb everyone so he pretended to sleep.
That is the though pf Bai Qingniu.
But even if the boy did not scheme against him, Bai Qingniu still did not return to the hut. He was perplexed at the way this young boy is training.,
How could just by standing there, he emanates such rising of internal energy.
It was like he ascended into another level of internal energy.
Is it that easy breaking through the level of internal energy? He thought to himself.
Internal energy is the hardest thing to cultivate for martial artist.
Because the accumulation of internal energy depends on one age from when they started training, some medicines or valuable herbs or some powerful internal energy technique that could quicken the sped of accumulating internal energy
That was the thought of the old man.
Because he saw that even though Li Xian did not move since he went out on the yard, Bai Qingniu could sense the rising of internal energy.
At this point of time, Bai Qingniu no longer have any interest in trying to sleep. He is trying to identify from which school that this person come from.
Li Xian did not notice this at all and now is thinking about something else
Li Xian looking at the skill points on his status window at first had decided to balance the opening of the meridians.
He wanted to opens slowly the meridians from the feet meridian and the other.
But now that he had the Six Meridian Sword it would be stupid of him if he did not focus on opening the acupoint of the meridian that is required for using the Six Meridian Sword.
If he could finish opening his Taiyin Lung Channel of Hand meridian, he could at least shoot out sword blade from his thumb.
He then opens the Taiyin Lung Channel of Hand meridian status window
The meridian explanation popped out
[According to the Lingshu Book, this meridian is the main meridian of the Yin channels of the hand, and it controls the stamina of the body. Therefore, it is the meridian that must be practiced by those who is desiring to become stronger and any practitioner of the martial path]
Zhongfu (Middle Palace) [Open]
Yunmen (Cloud Gate) [Open]
Tianfu (Palace of Heaven) 100 points
Xiabai (Clasping the White) 200 points
Chize (Cubit Marsh) 300 points
Lieque (Broken Sequence) 500 points
Jingqu (Channel Gutter) 1000 points
Taiyuan (Supreme Abyss) 3000 points
Yuji (Fish Border) 5000 points
Shaoshang (Lesser Shang) 8000 points
Kongzui (Maximum Opening) 12,000 points
Out of ten acupoint he had opened two. Even if he used all of his life skill points and his martial skill points, tonight he must open up all the acupoint of his Taiyin Lung Channel of Hand
He already had the technique. If he could not even use it, what would be the point of having it?
The points needed to open the acupoint had also decreased a bit.
This must be because of that grandmaster rank skill. He already felt like the meridian was about to burst open when he ranks up a lot of his skill to grandmaster level.
If his body is not restricted by system, he might have already opened up the meridian. At least that is his conjecture. He had no basis in this conjecture.
He nodded to himself and then calculated how may skill points he needed to open up all the acupoint.
It would cost him 30,100 points.
He decided to use his Life Skill points to open up all of the meridian.
‘Open’ he said and the Life Skill points was drained off as sound of explosion could be heard inside his body.
