Chapter Sixteen: Everything Happens for a Reason

sciples. If you leave now, you should be able to make it in time.""Now" Jiang Yun was taken aback.Although Gingercloud has spent most of his years deep within the Mang Mountains, he is still far from...Being able to see the inside of one's own body with the naked eye was, naturally, a brand new experience for Jiang Yun.

After giving it a good, interesting look, he turned his gaze to the twelve main meridians.

The twelve meridians within the human body are connected head to toe, linking the dantian and running through the entire body, forming a continuous cycle that never ends, like a ring.

Therefore, the first step to cultivating Taoism is to open up as many meridians as possible so that Qi can flow continuously throughout the body, until it becomes inexhaustible.

And looking at his twelve meridians, Ginger Cloud couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Although he had never seen what other people's meridians looked like, he had a strong feeling that his own meridians were much thicker than others'.

Especially the three meridians that had been opened, faintly transparent in color, one could clearly see the inner spiritual energy churning within them, like rivers converging.

This stirred something in his heart, reminding him of the countless medicinal baths his grandfather had made him soak in over the years: "Could it be that under the stimulation of those herbs, my meridians have been gradually expanding"

And the next moment, when Jiang Yun's gaze fell on the nine meridians that were yet to be opened, his heart suddenly became enlightened. He not only understood that his thoughts were right, but also knew why his cultivation speed was so fast!

Among those nine meridians, although they are indeed filled with all sorts of chaotic impurities, if you look closely, you will find that the impurities in six of them are extremely fine. Even within the impurities, there is a faint trace of spiritual energy surging!

This is like a small stream. If you put a large rock in it, it will completely stop the flow of the water. But if you put in an equal amount of small pebbles, it might also stop the water from flowing, but the water can still pass through the gaps between the stones.

Even if the water flow is just a little bit faster, it can wash these stones away directly.

Now, Jiang Yun's meridians are like small streams. The impurities that should have been boulders have turned into tiny pebbles. As long as the influx of spiritual energy is fast enough, it can easily wash these pebbles away.

At this point, Ginger Cloud naturally understood that her unique meridians and her incredibly fast cultivation speed were all thanks to the medicinal baths her grandfather had been letting her soak in for years.

Although I cannot cultivate the techniques of Ginger Village myself, my grandfather has, as much as possible, laid a solid foundation for my future cultivation.

Over time, the medicinal properties of those herbs not only gradually expanded their own meridians but also subtly and gradually pulverized impurities within them.

This way, as soon as spiritual energy flows in, it will happen naturally and smoothly!

New fastest;

This is one of the reasons why he was able to defeat Feng Wuji, a cultivator, with his mortal body back then.

For as long as one is willing, it's likely that within just a few days, they could directly leap to the ninth level of the Meridian Network!

"Grandpa!"

Only now did Jiang Yun truly understand his grandfather's good intentions, and he became even more determined to cultivate diligently and return to the Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains as soon as possible.

After staring silently at the six meridians for a long while, Ginger Cloud finally shifted his gaze to the last three.

These three meridians' impurities remain in a congealed state, I fear even the medicinal properties of these herbs haven't been able to pulverize them.

Actually, Ginger Yun didn't know that with Ginger Wanli's attainments in medicine, it would be a piece of cake to crush the impurities in these three meridians.

However, since cultivation is a rebellious act against heaven, and nine represents the ultimate number, all realms of cultivation, whether it be meridian pathways or blessed lands, all culminate at nine. This is also a limit permitted by the Heavenly Dao.

Once it exceeds nine, it becomes an overstep, thereby incurring the punishment of heaven. Even someone as powerful as Jiang Wanli wouldn't dare to break it easily, so when helping Jiang Yun unclog his meridians, he intentionally avoided these three.

Ginger Cloud exited meditation, rinsed his body with some water, and didn't dare continue cultivating. He only calmly solidified his own realm.

The next morning, Dongfang Bo appeared before him again. After sizing him up and down, he exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Jiang, you've truly opened my eyes! This also proves that what I said earlier was correct. That so-called 'passing three trials' is nothing but a show!"

Before Ginger Cloud could speak, Dongfang Bo shifted his tone and continued, "However, there must be some secret hidden within you. Otherwise, your performance in the three trials would have been utterly abnormal!"

"Of course, you can rest assured. No matter what secrets you have, the four of us from Chiangfeng will never pry into them, let alone have any desire to covet them. However, once you're outside, you best be careful and don't let anyone discover your secrets!"

Although Jiang Yun believed that apart from the secret of the nine meridians in his body, there were no other secrets about himself, he also knew this was Dongfang Bo's kindness. Therefore, he didn't explain and nodded solemnly: "Thank you, senior brother, for your teachings. I will keep them in mind."

Dongfang Bo waved his hand and said, "Teaching It's not teaching! Just a reminder. By the way, Lao Jiang, you've already reached the third level of meridian opening, so you can start practicing spells. Have you thought about which spells to practice"

"That..." Jiang Yun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Senior Brother again. When it comes to spells, I'm just as clueless."

"Haha, no trouble at all!" Dong Fang Bo's eyes lit up again instantly. He sat down in front of Jiang Yun with a decisive thud and said, "Anyway, you need to consolidate your realm these days. Why not take this opportunity I can explain the knowledge about techniques in detail."

"Techniques are diverse and naturally have levels of distinction, closely related to cultivation. I'll start with the most basic five-element techniques!"

……

Another day and night had passed, after Dong Fang Bo once again gave a talk that left Jiang Yun with much to ponder. Finally, Jiang Yun made his choice regarding the technique – the Fire Attribute Technique!

Fire is one of the five elements and is relatively easy to control, so it is basically the first choice of spells for most cultivators.

Moreover, through Dongfang Bo's explanation, Jiang Yun also learned that fire magic, besides being used for attack, was also indispensable for alchemy and crafting.

Although Gingercloud can now cultivate, after sixteen years of effort in alchemy, he naturally wouldn't neglect it. Therefore, choosing the fire attribute spell was a win-win situation.

In addition to fire magic, at Dong Fang Bo's suggestion, Jiang Yun also chose swordsmanship.

Swordsmanship, in essence, is also a type of magic. However, swordsmanship requires a sword to be wielded, and throughout history, the attacking power of sword cultivators has been widely recognized as formidable. Particularly, the headmaster of the Qindao Sect primarily practices sword cultivation. Therefore, choosing swordsmanship is both beneficial and harmless.

"Originally, only outer sect disciples were allowed to go to the inner sect library to find suitable techniques, but it doesn't matter, I'll run it for you!"

After saying that, Dongfang Bo left in a flurry of excitement. This once again filled Jiang Yun with gratitude and solidified his belief that although his senior brother was a bit talkative, he was truly kind-hearted.

As for Dongfang Bo's proactive approach and enthusiasm, Jiang Yun wasn't without suspicion and caution. However, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity about Dongfang Bo, coupled with the fact that Jiang Yun was penniless and had nothing of value to offer. Therefore, Jiang Yun chose to trust Dongfang Bo.

And through this short few days of contact, Jiang Yun also increasingly confirmed that his trust was not wrong.

>>>Dongfang Bo quickly went back and forth, giving Jiang Yun a storage ring.

You now have spiritual energy, and you can also open the storage ring. Although the space inside the ring is not large, it's enough for you now. Inside the ring there is a set of beginner-level fire magic spells and swordsmanship techniques, as well as an ordinary iron sword.

"As for the cultivation of techniques, I'm afraid I can't offer any guidance. However, your second senior sister is quite proficient in this area. If you could have her guide you, it would be immensely beneficial!"d light, just about to rush out without regard, but Jiang Yun spoke up to stop him. "Third Senior Brother, leave this to me!"Fang Yu's words not only insulted his master but also insulted Jiang Yun's...
