Chapter 23 – His Terrifying Cultivation Speed (1)
The so-called meridian-clearing stage was to dissolve, erode or decompose the congested stuff, which prevented cultivators from further improvements. It could be compared to molding a piece of candy in your mouth. You twist and lick it with your tongue, as this piece of candy will gradually dissolve into liquid and blend into your saliva. Obviously, in this process it took some time to completely dissolve the piece of candy, as it had to be done layer by layer.
However!
The method created by Qinghan, crazy, pioneering and risky as it was, was supposed to clear up the jammed stuff more efficiently than the traditional method.
He had to rely on the Battle Qi itself, to rush into the meridian and smash into the congested stuff. Others would slowly suck the candy, while Qinghan would crunch it into powder.
Crunching! Chewing! Crashing it within seconds!
Undoubtedly, this new process should be tens, or even hundreds of times faster than the original one. Nevertheless… By directing the forceful Battle Qi directly into the congested meridians, it was almost equal to committing suicide. The meridians in his body, fragile as they were, would most likely be destroyed, together with the congested stuff, by the sheer force of the rushing Battle Qi.
“Broken meridians? I had one back in the Awakening Ceremony. No big deal. Let the crash be more ferocious… My magic bronze ring will save me anyway!”
Qinghan took a couple of deep breaths, as he was preparing himself for this monumental moment in his life. Clenching his fists, he expended all of the Battle Qi that he had stored in his already cleared-up meridians, and forced it to flood into his dashing meridian.
“Collide! Collide! Collide!”
A large amount of Battle Qi collided with the congested stuff in his dashing meridian. Now, due to its speed, the Battle Qi was almost as sharp as a sword. It became faster and faster, as it all rushed into the same direction.
- Boom! -
The flood of Battle Qi collided against the sticky congested stuff, instantly disintegrating the latter into small particles, like ignited firework.
“Er? Have I succeeded?”
Barely had Qinghan enjoyed the moment of happiness, when his dashing meridian imploded, due to the pressure of Battle Qi.
“Ahhhhh!”
The pain of crashing a meridian was unspeakably unbearable. What was worse, was that Qinghan was caught in a fist of cramps, causing the muscles in his face to deform, making him resemble a demon.
“No… I’m losing my consciousness… My dear ring, don’t let me down…”
Within seconds, the bitter aching led Qinghan to faint. As he went down, he put all of his hopes on the bronze ring.
- Hiss! -
Fortunately, the bronze ring automatically emitted the white smoke, which penetrated into Qinghan’s skin, and finally came to a halt at the broken dashing meridian.
After the crash, the dashing meridian was riddled with a thousand gaping holes. Amazingly enough, all these holes started to patch themselves up when they were bathed in the white smoke.
Ten minutes past...
Twenty minutes past…
Only after half an hour had passed, did Qinghan reopen his eyes. Compared to his previous excruciating pain, right now, he was extremely comfortable, as if he was taking a warm bath in a cold winter. Several minutes later, he hunkered again, inspecting his inner body’s condition.
Within the dashing meridian, the congested stuff was reduced to a great extent. While at the same time, the wounds on the surface of the meridian had also disappeared.
“Wow, this is insane! My pioneering cultivating method has finally proven itself to be effective!”
“Hahahaha…”
A series of demented laughter echoed throughout the mountains, scaring away the nearby birds that peacefully sat on the trees.
……
One month later…
In the outside periphery of the Wild Mountain Range, a young man in black clothing hastily went down a mountain path. This youth wasn’t stout, but rather scrawny instead. However, his footsteps were quite steady and firm and his eyes were like two lighted torches, rendering a confident and unruffled temperament.
