Chapter 177 - A Miraculous Discovery (2/2)

It was very hard to stop and study one’s meridians. This highway, which carried the load of the circulation of true energy, really wasn’t smooth in shape.

When a cultivator uses up far too much of their true energy, they would conventionally choose to rest, waiting for their true energy to recover bit by bit before engaging in cultivation. This was to avoid mishaps from occurring when cultivating without enough true energy.

Every cultivator knew that when one engages in cultivation without enough true energy, the cultivator’s control and focus of mind would need to be at extreme highs. Otherwise, it was very easy to descend into the flames of madness, leading one to be unable to take care of himself or causing one to simply die.

Very few cultivators were treated like Qin Fen, being forced to cultivate even though his true energy was clearly depleted.

The meridians were indeed channels that were full of bumps and weren’t smooth at all!

Qin Fen was very shocked. He always believed that the meridians were smooth. So it turned out that they were not smooth and that they were like this!

With such road conditions, it was no wonder that the movement of true energy on these highways would have its speeds reduced. This was like taking a Formula One racing track and tossing a section of road that was full of potholes and wasn’t smooth. With these limitations, it was impossible for the cars on the track to reach their boasted speeds.

Could the meridians be repaired? Like repairing the potholes of a highway? Qin Fen carefully controlled his true energy, letting it undulate up and down on the bumpy meridian channels. The forward speed was several times quicker than when he had an abundance of true energy, like in normal times.

In the past, it took several hours to circulate one cycle. This time, he only needed to use one hour to do the same.

After circulating this one cycle, Qin Fen discovered that his true energy had grown a bit thicker and more solid.

During his second cycle of situation, Qin Fen discovered something due to his true energy becoming a bit thicker. His control wasn’t as smooth as it was during the very beginning. The degree of difficulty when it came to the up and down undulations of the bumpy meridian channels had increased substantially.

In such circumstances, it took Qin Fen all the way to one-fifth of completing the second cycle of circulation to finally obtain complete control over the true energy that had changed to be a bit thicker.

The second cycle took a bit longer because of how un-smooth the first one-fifth of it was. This time, it took Qin Fen just over an hour to truly complete the cycle.

In the third cycle, his true energy had strengthened quite a bit when compared to the second cycle. Controlling his true energy through the bumpy up and down undulations of his meridian channels became even more difficult. This time it took him one-quarter of the entire way to ultimately control his true energy to be unconstrained.

The fourth cycle. The fifth cycle. The sixth cycle. The seventh cycle. The eighth cycle….

The difficulty of controlling true energy to total free control increased with the completion of every cycle of circulation. When Qin Fen reached the eighth cycle, Qin Fen discovered that he needed to take make it ninety-five percent of the way through in order to obtain complete free control.

Though his true energy grew harder and harder to control, Qin Fen still discovered that his degree of control over true energy was reaching unprecedented heights after going through these up and down undulations. If he were to face the Vile King once more, he was confident that he could eliminate his opponent with his opponent in a three-star strength state.

Aside from the control over true energy, Qin Fen also discovered a way to control the up and down undulations of true energy. The speed of growth of true energy far exceeded the times when he had yet to discover the problems with the meridians.

“Could this be the good thing that the master talked about?” Qin Fen was a bit suspicious. He faintly felt that the master’s words weren’t this simple.

Though the discovery of the bumpy meridians was indeed something rare, the discovery was still something that was visible on the surface. The master had a habit of giving hints that made one discover deeper things.

“Something on a deeper level?”

Qin Fen was puzzled. Just what could it be that was on a deeper level?

Qin Fen silently controlled his true energy and pondered the master’s tip.

Within the special dream space of his mind, it was as if Qin Fen had turned into stone. The white figure of light was like the strictest of teachers. He silently floated by Qin Fen’s side.

Du Zhanpeng’s room wasn’t that big. It contained a simple wooden bed and an enormous bookshelf lined with all sorts of books.

Military affairs, politics, martial arts, science, and technology….

Outstanding and remarkable youths don’t come out of thin air. Men may appear to blossom in a split second, but behind them are often hardships and diligence that others are unaware of.

There were secret martial artist books that countless people viewed as treasures, and they were tossed to the ground by Xing Wuyi. Behind the books was a hidden compartment half a square-foot large.

He gently pressed the button on the hidden compartments, and a virtual projection appeared in the air. Please enter the full name of the person I love the most.

“Du Peng.”

Xing Wuyi quickly typed the two words that he loathed the most on the virtual keyboard. The hidden compartment quietly opened up toward two sides, revealing a delicate red metal box about the size of a fist.

Xing Wuyi carefully took out the red metal box. A scene of the past emerged in his mind.

“Do you know, Wuyi? I secretly participated in an encirclement and annihilation operation of mercenaries. I eliminated two terrorists on the bounty list of the Federation, and I made a bit of money.”

“You can’t be needing money, right?”

“Haha, how can I not be needing money? I need quite a bit.”

“Oh? Really? What do you want to buy?”

“A biochemical beast egg….”

“Don’t you have an extremely high-grade biochemical beast? There is no need to risk secretly going out and participating in operations, right?”

“My little brother is almost eighteen years old. I want to prepare a birthday gift for him.”

“What, he wants it? Even if you give it to him, he won’t thank you.”

“Isn’t it simple? I just need to provoke him a bit, and the little fool will accept it.”

“Is it worth it?”

“It has nothing to do with worth. I am his big brother, after all.”
