Chapter 196: Even the Sect Master Can’t Afford Clothes?
Lin Fengmian assessed the situation and noticed that Shangguan Qiong was floating above the ground, which explained the lack of footsteps.
His gaze finally landed on her exaggerated round bottom, which was swaying from side to side with a hint of confusion.
Suddenly, Shangguan Qiong stopped, and Lin Fengmian, unable to brake in time, crashed into her and was bounced back.
“What are you looking at so intently? Is it that good to look at?” Shangguan Qiong said with a teasing smile.
“It’s good, but I’m confused. Is our Joyful Union Sect really that bad? Even the sect master can’t afford clothes?” Lin Fengmian said with a mixture of laughter and frustration.
Shangguan Qiong rolled his eyes. “Yes, it is that poor. Otherwise, why would we even consider doing something so crazy?”
“Really not wearing anything?” Lin Fengmian asked in surprise.
“Why don’t you take a look and find out?”
As she spoke, Shangguan Qiong lightly lifted her skirt, revealing her round thighs, and continued to pull it up, drawing Lin Fengmian’s unwavering gaze.
Closer and closer, just as he was about to see the mysterious area, Shangguan Qiong let go, allowing the skirt to fall back down.
“Kid, you really dared to look, huh?”
“Since the sect master invited me so warmly, how could I not look?” Lin Fengmian replied with a smile.
Shangguan Qiong pressed her hand against the wall, opened a secret chamber, and led Lin Fengmian inside.
Lin Fengmian noticed that there was another similar secret chamber opposite the door, though he wasn’t sure what it was used for.
The chamber was filled with an abundance of spiritual energy. The ceiling was decorated with night pearls arranged according to the constellations, and the floor was covered with intricate array patterns.
Inside the chamber, a steady stream of water flowed from a spring, forming a small pond that turned out to be a spiritual vein.
The area around the spiritual vein was littered with spirit stones of various sizes and spirit gathering arrays, making the spiritual energy in the chamber far more abundant than in other places.
Above the spiritual vein, a white jade stone was suspended in the air, supported by the gushing spiritual spring, which was clearly Shangguan Qiong’s usual cultivation place.
Shangguan Qiong came back to her senses and said, “Little pervert, let me explain the essentials of the cultivation realm and what is required to establish the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.”
“The human body has fourteen meridians, 361 acupoints, and 48 special points. At birth, two meridians and thirty acupoints are naturally open.”
“By opening one more meridian and reaching at least fifty acupuncture points, one can enter the realm of Foundation Establishment. However, this is only the lowest level of the Human Dao Foundation Establishment.”
…
“To reach the Heavenly Dao Foundation’s Establishment Realm, one must endure immense pain and have strong power to open four or more meridians and over sixty acupuncture points. Only then can one reach the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment Realm.”
…
With her melodious voice, she explained various essentials to Lin Fengmian, and he listened to her words intently.
Although his attention was occasionally drawn to her ample bosom and cherry-red lips that opened and closed, he managed to absorb most of what she said.
He couldn’t help but lament inwardly, damn it, he never used to be so preoccupied with such thoughts. What was happening to him?
It was all because of that sorceress Liu Mei from the Joyful Union Sect, who had distorted his thinking and increased his lust.
But deep down, he knew that this was only part of the issue. The bigger problem was probably the Demon Emperor Technique.
He made a concerted effort to refocus his thoughts and listened intently.
“But different cultivation techniques can open different numbers of acupoints and meridians. If the technique is too weak, it won’t allow you to reach the realm of Foundation Establishment.”
“If the number of meridians and acupoints you open doesn’t meet the minimum standard required by the technique to condense qi into liquid, your Foundation Establishment will fail.”
Lin Fengmian understood; it was like not being able to eat enough to be full, but not starving either.
In order to fully utilize the power of a cultivation technique, one needs to open the corresponding acupoints and meridians.
Shangguan Qiong asked, “Do you understand?”
Lin Fengmian gathered his scattered thoughts and nodded. “I understand. Will switching to the Heavenly Fiend Hall cultivation technique affect me later?”
Shangguan Qiong shook her head. “Acupoints can be opened later in life, and outsiders cannot tell whether they were opened at birth or later. It won’t affect your cultivation. Besides, most cultivation techniques open similar meridians.”
Lin Fengmian nodded, but then asked in confusion, “If acupoints can be opened later, why is there such a focus on reaching the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment Realm?”
Shangguan Qiong smiled slightly. “You are very perceptive and have hit the nail on the head. The biggest difference is the level of spiritual energy condensation.”
“When you use your abilities, you can see the difference, but the most significant effect on cultivation isn’t that. How should I explain it?”
She thought about it with some distress, then suddenly laughed, poking at the soft, fragrant flesh on her chest, causing the two mounds to sway continuously.
“Suppose there’s a method to stuff things inside your chest to make it bigger. Would you prefer the real one or the artificial one?”
Lin Fengmian was speechless. Wasn’t this just a padding to fool people?
“Of course, the real one! How could the feeling be the same?”
However, a certain Zhou Ping, who was extremely hungry for a bigger chest, might desperately need such a technique to create a wave on her flat chest.
Shangguan Qiong nodded, “The same principle applies. The meridians opened during a breakthrough are different from those opened under normal circumstances.”
“The difference between innate and acquired is like the difference between a wide road and a narrow path. Both can be walked on, but which one do you prefer?”
Lin Fengmian thought about it seriously and said, “That depends on the situation. Usually, the narrow path is tighter.”
Shangguan Qiong looked at his ugly face and suddenly felt the urge to kick him.
How could you even compare this to that? You really are a member of the Joyful Union Sect.
I’m already feeling so uncomfortable and you still say such things. How despicable.
Lin Fengmian had no idea what she was thinking. Her vivid and graphic description actually enlightened him.
He had never thought that Shangguan Qiong could provide such a profound and simple analysis in addition to her skilled nine shallow one deep technique.
She really was a great teacher and friend!
If Shangguan Qiong knew what he was thinking, she might have wanted to kill him.
She projected a meridian diagram and asked, “Can the cultivation technique you practice open these four meridians and sixty-one acupoints?”
Lin Fengmian knew that these were the meridians and acupoints that Jun Wuxie had opened. He examined it carefully and nodded his head.
“Yes, it can!”
Shangguan Qiong took out a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, handed it to him, and solemnly said, “Go sit among the spirit stones and prepare to start.”
Lin Fengmian nodded, took the Foundation Establishment Pill, and flew to the spirit stones, sitting cross-legged. Then, he systematically began the process to bearkthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
With the experience from Luo Xue, he was quite familiar with the Foundation Establishment process.
The only difference this time was that most of his meridians and acupoints were still unopened.
Using the power of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Lin Fengmian began to affect one meridian after another, and then opened the corresponding acupoints.
This time, he experienced pain. The pain of striking the meridians and opening the acupoints made him furrow his brows.
At this moment, Shangguan Qiong also flew to the spirit stones, standing behind him and placing one hand on his back.
A huge amount of spiritual energy surged into his body, helping him to impact the acupoints.
