Chapter 336: Chapter 0336: Breaking Through with Qi (Part 2)

The Qihai Acupoint is located above, leading through the Shenque Acupoint in the navel area, and continues to the Upper Courtyard, Central Courtyard, Huge Que, and Zhongting Acupoint located above the abdomen.

Moving further up, the location of the next acupoint gets a bit awkward.

Its name is the Danzhong Acupoint.

Long Fei cleared his throat twice. The needling just now was done with ease, as effortless as playing a game of chess.

But when it came to this spot, his hands hesitated.

Lin Yingying’s eyes were tense, feeling the Essential Qi in her abdomen rushing upwards.

However, it stagnated here and refused to move further up.

Shortly after, they began to feel somewhat nauseated by the ascending Essential Qi.

Lin Yingying frowned and mumbled, "Is there a problem?"

Long Fei awkwardly asked, "Could you move your hands to the sides?"

Lin Yingying inhaled sharply and, enduring it, moved her hands aside.

Long Fei could feel his heartbeat accelerate, his nose even starting to feel hot.

Although the two had been in close contact before, they had never been face-to-face like this.

The figure of Lin Yingying was truly impeccable.

As he inserted a needle, Lin Yingying clenched her teeth and sharply inhaled a breath of cold air.

Lin Shanshan’s situation was a bit difficult.

When Long Fei’s hand moved lower, she was frightened and hastily exclaimed, "Do we really have to do this?"

Long Fei smiled and said, "If not, you can cover it with your hand."

Lin Shanshan, blushing, quickly covered herself.

As Long Fei inserted a needle, his fingers quickly lifted as if they had touched electricity.

Dammit, what’s wrong with this hand.

Lin Shanshan bit her lip, not crying out because her sister was nearby.

She thought to herself that this brother-in-law was not at all proper, getting to look and touch; she would surely never be able to marry off after this.

Long Fei took a deep breath.

Above was a flat stretch, finally no need to torture himself like this anymore.

His silver needles passed through the space between their eyebrows, and the last needle landed on the Baihui Acupoint atop their heads.

This acupoint marks the boundary of the governor and conception vessels.

After Foundation Establishment, the Essential Qi in the Dantian travels through the Ren Meridian and passes the Baihui Acupoint, moving on to the Governor Channel on the back.

The breakthrough begins here.

He had initially been worried that their meridians were too fragile to withstand the impact of the Essential Qi.

Now, it seemed that their youth meant their meridians were relatively resilient.

He decided to help them make a breakthrough tonight, letting them adjust for a day, and then increase the dosage slightly.

In this way, all the Eight Extraordinary Meridians could be opened.

Lin Yingying both felt the Essential Qi from their lower abdomen surge up through their throats and shoot straight into their heads.

Their ears were buzzing instantly, and their heads felt like balloons filled with air, ready to explode at any moment.

A wave of heat rose from the tops of their heads.

Perspiration also appeared on their fair foreheads.

Both of them struggled to hold on, uttering a plaintive whimper.

Long Fei furrowed his brows, thinking the timing was also about right.

Whether the breakthrough could succeed depended on the next needle.

He sat behind them, inserting a needle into the Hou Ding Acupoint located at the back of their heads.

The Hou Ding Acupoint, corresponding to the Qian Ding Acupoint on the forehead, is the first acupoint of the Governor Channel on the head. Once past this acupoint, the Essential Qi would flow along the Governor Channel.

After the needle was inserted, Lin Yingying both heard a buzzing sound in their heads as if a blocked nose was suddenly cleared.

Feeling refreshed and clear-headed, their entire bodies relaxed.

Long Fei let out a sigh of relief, glad that his efforts hadn’t gone to waste.

What came next was easier. His hands descended along both their backs, inserting needles into the Governor Channel.

Starting from the Yamen Acupoint, moving to the Dao, to the Spiritual Platform, the Central Hub, and finally to the Yangguan Acupoint at the waist.

The Essential Qi had thus completed a Grand Circulation within their bodies.

Many martial artists cultivated their entire lives and still failed to break through their limits.

They knew only to cultivate inner strength without understanding the principles behind it.

They were unable to concoct medicinal soups, and the Qi they cultivated was far from sufficient to break through the necessary barriers.

In a certain sense, their current cultivation level could already be considered at the Master Realm of the Ancient Martial World.

A simple medicinal soup could surpass a lifetime of cultivation for the average person.

This is the law of the Cultivation World—there’s no such thing as fairness.

Sometimes, if the method is wrong, no amount of effort will compensate.

According to "The Comprehensive Guide to Qi Refinement," if you refine a pill.

The Essential Qi contained in a single pill is enough for someone to successfully establish their Dantian.

This pill is also known as the Body Tempering Pill, which is quite a common elixir in the Cultivation World.

The starting point for Long Fei and the others was quite low.

He taught the two women how to move their Qi through the governor and conception vessels, constantly circulating the Essential Qi to strengthen the resilience of their meridians.

It’s like steel—the more you hammer it, the tougher the meridians become.

If they didn’t exercise regularly, they might burst their own meridians with a sudden strong surge of Essential Qi when facing an enemy.

By the time all this was finished, it was already the middle of the night.

All three of them exhaled in relief as Long Fei removed the silver needles from their bodies, and the two ungrateful women promptly kicked him out the door.

This time, he had certainly gotten the better end of the deal.

Especially Lin Shanshan, who buried her head in her pillow, unable to calm down for a long time.

In the living room, Long Fei brought out the stewed bone soup he had prepared for Bald Dog.

With the two women not wanting him around, he was left to attend to the dog.

At this point, it was hard to tell who was the master and who was the pet.

Bald Dog initially felt dejected, not expecting Long Fei to still consider its feelings.

It wagged its tail frantically, undeterred by the heat.

It dunked its big mouth into the simmering broth and began to slurp and gulp down the liquid.

Long Fei examined the dog’s head and touched the peculiar characters on top, curiously asking, "Where did you get this bald patch on your head from?"

Bald Dog whirled its eyes around and initially didn’t plan to share this secret.

It was hoping to use whatever was on its head to rise in status and eventually have Long Fei serve as its minion.

Now, touched by a bowl of bone soup, it smacked its lips and explained, "It got burned onto me from a big Resonant Bell."

"A bell?"

Long Fei furrowed his brows, perplexed, and asked, "This bell, was it very hot?"

Bald Dog replied, "Of course, it erupted from the mouth of a volcano. Suspended in the air for three days and nights, it was formidable, its resonating sound continuous. The scene was such that all beasts submitted to its power, and nearly all living things within a hundred-mile radius didn’t dare approach it. Many Demon Kings and powerful humans of the Human Race attempted to inspect it. Most of them were pulverized into a mist of blood on the spot. It was truly a grand vision."

Long Fei’s eyes went wide as if he had heard some great secret, and he immediately pressed on, "What happened next?"

Bald Dog replied, "After the bell went silent, all the experts frantically rushed to claim it. It was chaos with everyone pushing and shoving, to the point my head got banged up against it. That thing was scalding hot, nearly turning me to ash. In the end, it left this scar on my head."

"I see."

Long Fei sighed lightly, having already suspected the scar on the dog’s head was some sort of inscription, and now he knew there was a story behind it.

Curious, he asked, "What happened after? Was the Resonant Bell taken by someone?"

Bald Dog chuckled, "It wasn’t that easy. A crowd battled fiercely for it, slaughtering each other viciously. I fled far away to heal my injuries. Just as the conflict between the demons and humans was at its peak, the Resonant Bell sounded once more."

Pausing there, it played coy, tapping on its bowl and asked, "Is there any more bone soup?"

Long Fei, engrossed in the story, tapped the dog’s head and went to pour the rest of the soup from the pot into its bowl.

After taking a generous bite of bone, Bald Dog burped contentedly and said, "Then it got exciting, damn thrilling, indeed. Prior to that, the bell’s tolling was merely a few minor chimes, but its final toll was the real resonance. That toll was like a furious Thunderbolt, absolutely devastating—within a hundred miles, the flora and fauna were wiped out, turning into barren land. Most of the elite of both the Demon and Human Races were annihilated on the spot, disintegrated into clouds of blood. A rift seemed to open between that world and yours because of the bell’s resonance, and I got caught in the ensuing spatial storm and was sucked into it."
