'Shaoshong Point!'

Ling Yi stretched out his right hand, fingers spread, and focused his gaze on the ulnar side of his little finger, just a bit away from the corner of the nail, muttering to himself.

Then, he clenched his fingers into a fist and opened them again. Ling Yi's gaze shifted to the spot where his little finger had just pressed, and he thought to himself once more: 'This is… Shaofu Point!'

His gaze moved along the side of his little finger, tracing the route to his wrist. After passing the prominent pea bone, it stopped at a relatively noticeable depression: 'Shenmen Point!'

Ling Yi was quite familiar with this point. In his previous life, as a martial arts enthusiast, he was familiar with the novel and its corresponding TV series, where the Wudang Sect's 'Thirteen Divine Gate Swords' specialized in attacking the opponent's Shenmen Point on the wrist, rendering their wrist powerless. This rare sword technique, which did not aim to kill, left a deep impression on Ling Yi.

Equally memorable was the 'Shaoshong Point' on the little finger, which came from the martial arts world of 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' and the Dali Duan family's 'Tianlong Temple' and their 'Six Pulse Divine Sword'—the Shaoshong Sword!

In the TV series, Duan Yu, the 'master of meeting sisters,' would stretch out his hand to make a '666' gesture, and then his thumb and little finger would start emitting laser beams. This scene had much more visual effects than when Yin Liting drew his sword in 'Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber.'

Enough with the digression, let's get back to the main topic.

Ling Yi gathered his mind, maintaining composure, and continued to overlay the 'Bingxixi Version' Spiritual Power circulation route of the Douluo Continent onto the human meridian map he had recreated, to help him understand it better and, eventually, to… modify it.

Of course, modification was still too early. For now, he was just trying to activate the tiny, cool breath of Spiritual Power within his body, following the route of the 'Basic Meditation Method,' slowly and completely.

Bending his head, Ling Yi stared at his lower abdomen, three inches below his navel… no, he was only six years old now…

Feeling the cool breath enter a space that seemed both real and illusory, Ling Yi's eyes gleamed: "Interesting~"

'Logically, this direction is completely opposite to the meridian circulation of my previous life, but in this world, it can actually work like this!'

Ling Yi could clearly sense that the half-level of Spiritual Power in his body, with a mere thought, surged from the Dantian below his navel, quickly reaching the 'Shaoshong Point' on his right little finger. It then attracted some particle-like entities from the outside, absorbing them and following the route Ling Yi had traced through each acupoint, returning to the Dantian.

During this process, those particles gradually merged with the cool breath, which was Ling Yi's Spiritual Power. By the time they entered the Dantian, about thirty percent had been assimilated, causing a slight increase in the amount of Spiritual Power, despite the losses during circulation!

This meditation Spiritual Power circulation route, in Ling Yi's previous life, had a name: the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian!

The difference was that in traditional Chinese medicine, the 'Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian' was symmetrical on both sides, meaning each arm had one. However, on the Douluo Continent, the 'Basic Meditation Method' provided by Yan Bin, the Soul Temple's officer, only mentioned the route on the right arm, and the description was vague and filled with irrelevant details, leaving many beginners with low cultural levels scratching their heads.

Fortunately, although Ling Yi hadn't specialized in traditional Chinese medicine in his previous life and only had a bachelor's degree from an ordinary university, his reading comprehension was quite good. He could manage to understand the reasoning and administrative tests, so the 'Basic Meditation Method' was relatively easy for him to grasp.

"Simply put, the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian starts from the heart, passes through the armpit, and runs along the inner side of the arm to the tip of the little finger. It has several branches: one descends to the small intestine, one ascends along the esophagus to the eyes, and another ascends to the lungs, emerging from the armpit, running along the back of the upper arm to the inner side of the wrist, and reaching the Shaoshong Point on the little finger… Are you listening to me recite this?"

The nurse's playful scolding echoed in his ears again.

To prevent the nurse from realizing that he had been distracted by the curves under her white coat, Ling Yi quickly replied: 

"Listening~ Listening~ But, I'm just thinking, if the meridians aren't blood vessels and there's no blood flowing through them, what exactly is circulating? Qi? Internal power?"

The nurse rolled her eyes, her lips pouting, making his throat move involuntarily. She spat out, not in the best mood: "Qi~ Internal power, why don't you say chakra or magic circuits?"

"Come on, how could those things exist in this world!"

"Then what circulates in the meridians?"

"Well, you can call it primordial energy or blood energy. It's the original driving force of human life activities…"

"Oh~ So, it starts from the heart, not the Dantian, right?"

"Hey~ Talking is one thing, but what are your hands doing?"

"This is just to confirm the positions of the heart and Dantian…"

"The heart's position is fine, but the Dantian… is it really that low…?"

"Hehe… my hands slipped… they slipped…"

…

Let's discard the inappropriate and uninteresting content from the latter part and focus on what the nurse said earlier.

In Ling Yi's previous life, according to traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is a microcosm, and the internal circulation of energy in this microcosm is divided into two categories: the regular meridians and the extraordinary meridians. There are twelve regular meridians, namely the three yin and three yang meridians of the hands and feet, collectively known as the 'Twelve Regular Meridians,' which are the main channels for the circulation of qi and blood. There are eight extraordinary meridians, namely the Governor, Conception, Thrusting, Belt, Yin Link, Yang Link, Yin Heel, and Yang Heel Meridians, collectively known as the 'Eight Extraordinary Meridians,' which have the function of overseeing, connecting, and regulating the Twelve Regular Meridians. In addition, there are 'Twelve Divergent Meridians' and other smaller meridians that serve as supplements and connections.

Let's put the 'Eight Extraordinary Meridians' aside for now. Ling Yi hadn't discussed them with the nurse in his previous life before he switched to studying foreign languages and found a blonde to learn Russian with.

Moreover, even in martial arts novels and TV series, discussions of the 'Eight Extraordinary Meridians' usually involved high-level experts. For a beginner like Ling Yi, studying them was premature.

Speaking of the 'Twelve Regular Meridians,' their names are determined based on their yin-yang attributes, the organs they belong to, and the parts of the body they run through. They are associated with the twelve organs, each named after the corresponding organ, and their paths through the hands and feet, inside and outside, front and back, are named according to the principles of yin and yang.

Their names are as follows: Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, Hand Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian, Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, and Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian.

These twelve meridians are connected through the hand and foot yin-yang relationships, forming a continuous, endless circulation system. Qi and blood can travel through these meridians to reach the internal organs and the surface of the body, nourishing the entire body.

With this brief introduction to the encyclopedia, Ling Yi began to focus on the parts relevant to him.

Namely, the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian!

'Is it because most people's spirit cores manifest in their right hand that the entry route starts from the meridian in the right hand?'

Ling Yi pondered: 'But, why start from the Shaoshong Point on the little finger? Why not the Shaoshang Point on the thumb, the Zhongchong Point on the middle finger, or the Guanchong Point on the ring finger?'

'Additionally, the Shaoze Point is also on the side of the little finger, but it's on the inner side closer to the ring finger, while the Shaoshong Point is on the outer side. What's the significance of this choice?'
