Chapter 56 Lv3 Qi Master
"Upgrade." Lin Zhuo silently confirmed in his mind, and the player panel updated accordingly.
Ding--
Occupation: Qigong Master Lv3 (1250/4900)
Occupational Characteristics (New)
Forging Meridians: Consuming vital energy causes the Qi Sea to grow, sprouting branch structures called "Divine Meridians," which allow the flow of spiritual energy within the body.
A level 3 Qi Master is already comparable to a martial arts master in the world of "Cangcheng".
For example, Dai Xianyong, who wreaked havoc in the area, and the four elites of the Night Rain Pavilion had all forged divine veins. They were superior to Lin Zhuo in terms of realm, but the difference in their martial arts skills was too great, which is why they were crushed to death.
After a fierce battle with the assassins, Lin Zhuo gained a considerable amount of rewards, including mission rewards and an improvement in his martial arts skills.
[Combat action successfully assessed; [The Fallen Dragon] basic skill level increased by 1%]
【Ingenious Coefficient x 1.8 (Unique and Original)】
[Combat Results Statistics: (Strong Strike to Break Enemy +4.5%) (Overcoming the Strong with the Weak +2%) (Brutally Sweeping Away +2%)]
[Final Calculation Result: [The Fallen Dragon] Cultivation Progress +10.3%]
As his palm techniques became more proficient, Lin Zhuo gained a more refined grasp of controlling complex internal energy. Various insights and realizations surged within him, transforming into a foundation for increased martial arts prowess, ensuring he could unleash even more terrifying destructive power next time.
He has now broken through to Lv3, and the improvement in realm has brought a higher upper limit to his combat power.
To unleash the full potential of "Refining Marrow and Changing Blood" and "The Fall of the Clumsy Dragon," one must possess the ability to forge divine veins.
Divine Veins are also a core talent for the Qi Master profession, and can be considered of paramount importance.
If we compare the Qi Sea to a seed, then reaching the vein-casting stage is like the seed maturing and beginning to sprout roots.
Qigong masters build a complex network of spiritual meridians within the body, allowing the mind and energy to circulate spontaneously along these meridians, which can bring about a variety of wonderful benefits.
Firstly, it can greatly simplify the circulation of internal energy. Qigong practitioners no longer need to be careful and concentrate on controlling their thoughts and energy. They only need to gather the corresponding true energy in time at the key parts where the thoughts and energy flow through the meridians to the limbs and internal organs.
Lin Zhuo currently needs three hours to promote the "Marrow Refining and Blood Transformation Longevity Method". Once the divine vein construction is completed, it will take at most two hours to complete one cycle.
The Shenmai Meridian System is not only about simplifying the circulation of Qi, but it is also an essential structure for many complex Qi cultivation practices.
For example, the perfected effect of "Refining Marrow and Changing Blood" is that it can repair and restore what is missing, even if a hand or foot is severed. This requires the divine meridian to transport essence, qi and blood to help the remaining limbs grow in a fixed posture without becoming deformed.
Further cultivation of "The Fall of the Clumsy Dragon" requires the use of divine veins to store the hidden dragon's energy in order to stack the hidden dragon's buff effect to a higher level.
Lin Zhuo now felt that the Qi Sea in his Zhiyang acupoint was stirring, like a heart that was both large and small, seemingly present yet absent, pulsating with vigorous rhythm, wanting to break free of restraint and spread freely.
However, the process of forging the divine vein is not something that can be taken lightly or done recklessly.
Each cultivation method has a corresponding meridian network. The established meridians are deeply rooted in the body and difficult to move. If you want to switch to another cultivation method, you often have to actively sever the meridians and start over.
This not only requires a lot of time and energy, but also may damage one's innate foundation if not handled carefully.
For this reason, the martial arts system of Qigong masters requires that the spiritual veins of various techniques be compatible with each other, or at least not too different. Otherwise, the clash of thoughts and energy, and the reverse flow of true energy, will quickly deteriorate into qi deviation, which may result in hemiplegia and drooling at best, or paralysis, incontinence and vegetative state at worst.
The network of spiritual meridians constructed by the "Marrow Refining and Blood Transformation Longevity Method" is quite complex, and the flow of Qi is in harmony with nature, closely resembling the circulation of Qi and blood in the human body. Therefore, it can basically accommodate any cultivation method that is not unorthodox or contrary to common sense.
Lin Zhuo was not in a hurry to cultivate, but instead got up and strolled around the courtyard, only to find that everyone had left.
He went back inside to wash up quickly, changed his clothes, and checked his injuries in a mirror. Seeing that the wounds were mostly closed, he applied some medicine powder, wrapped it with clean gauze, and that was the end of the treatment.
The loot from this mission has not yet been examined.
[Jianghu Recipe: Spicy Fish (Lower Grade, Gray)]
[This record describes the recipe for "Hula Fish," a famous dish from Xiaoshui Prefecture. Its intense spiciness and delicious aroma reflect the temperament and character of the local residents. How many wandering heroes yearn for this taste of home?]
Type: Skill Book/Class Material
Weight: Less than 0.1kg
Item effect: There is a chance to learn a recipe after use; when used in conjunction with certain job-seeking methods, it can be used to unlock the secondary profession "Chef".
The recipe is of gray quality and consists of only a simple piece of paper, but it is much more valuable than the gray item Tiger Bone Traumatic Injury Wine obtained from the last mission.
The game features a secondary profession system, including professions such as chef, enchanter, alchemist, gunsmith, and bartender.
These types of deputy positions can be improved through professional activities or by using general experience.
A skilled secondary character, after investing resources in the early stages, can help players grow faster if they successfully establish a positive cycle.
There are also many casual players who don't want to fight and make a living by operating a side job, but it's extremely difficult to become a legendary player through this method.
Lin Zhuo has no plans for that yet; he's too busy practicing his martial arts.
In addition, there is a white martial arts manual called "Wasp Needle," Cui Luoyan's signature move. Like Dai Xianyong's "Wind Stealer," it can be briefly read and studied to draw inspiration and ingenuity from the creator, serving as martial arts resources to enhance one's foundation. However, there is no need to actually learn it.
Finally, there's the white-quality infantry armor, which lacks a helmet, arm guards, and legs; it only has lamellar armor and shoulder guards on the upper body, and skirt armor on the lower body.
This set of armor offers excellent protection. You can also wear the breastplate that fell off last time, making it look even more authentic.
Lin Zhuo fiddled with the new items briefly, especially putting the armor on his body first and then putting it into the player's backpack. This way, the equipment would be automatically put on the next time he retrieved it, saving a lot of effort.
Once he was satisfied, he returned to his throne, drank a couple of sips of spiritual wine, and began to forge the divine veins.
As the vital energy of life burns fiercely, the originally round and seed-like Qi Sea seems to sprout from its shell. A bright vein of light slowly extends out, starting from the Zhiyang acupoint on the spine, and carefully grows towards the limbs and bones. In this process, it gradually splits into more veins, like tributaries of a river weaving into a net, nourishing a wider expanse of land.
Lin Zhuo drank the wine sip by sip, constructing one meridian structure after another within his body.
In the afternoon, the teammates returned together, while the other three characters from the story had already said goodbye and left.
Jin Xiaohu has a cute cat-like face and always mutters to himself as he walks down the street.
"That's a bad woman!" "She's got ulterior motives towards me!" "Seriously, the cat almost got caught!"
Zhu Baixuan chuckled and reassured him, "It's just a little touch, it's nothing. My master used to like rubbing my belly."
"Ugh! If I touch your head, you'll never grow up! And she even pulled my tail! Humph, I shouldn't have sat next to her for a bite of fish. What a scheming and wicked woman!"
Shu Yuliu carried a lacquered wooden food box in her hand, her steps both steady and hurried. "Second Senior Brother should have recovered from his injuries by now. We left him all alone, and there's no food stored at home. He must be starving."
When they returned to their lodgings, they found several townspeople gathered there. Upon seeing Zhu Baixuan, who resembled a black-and-white boy, they immediately knelt down and hailed him as a deity.
"Wow, Senior Brother, you're so prestigious now!" Shu Yuliu exclaimed in amazement. She had no intention of lingering at the door, so she used her lightness skill to leap onto the roof of the South Building and then gracefully landed in the courtyard.
Her graceful figure made the kneeling townspeople even more convinced of the legend of the immortals. Fearing that another immortal might run away, they hurriedly crawled over, wanting to hug the black and white boy's legs.
When Jin Xiaohu saw those longing faces and the waving hands, he was so frightened that he meowed loudly and jumped like a firecracker, running into the yard as well.
Zhu Baixuan stood motionless in place, and the townspeople who approached suddenly encountered something furry and soft in the air.
"Ah, no wonder he's a deity! He has magical powers to protect himself, and mortals can't get close!" The people of this world are used to seeing martial arts masters who can move freely and easily, so they have a strong tolerance for such behavior.
In fact, their outstretched hands were being held in place by the panda's belly, and if you pressed on them, they felt quite bouncy.
"What do you want from me? Speak one by one, don't be impatient." Zhu Baixuan chuckled, completely unconcerned about being called a deity.
Qigong masters belong to the immortal sect, and it is reasonable that the powerful ones are regarded as immortals and gods.
