Xuanxia

Chapter 331 Sixth Realm, but Paralyzed

The mighty true energy began to surge in Fu Qingzhou's meridians.

He could feel them clearly, and that sense of power was far beyond what internal energy could match!
Internal breath is just a stream of air, but true essence is a real and solid substance. It is like blood and mercury. It not only flows in the meridians, but also shuttles through the muscles and bones!
The true essence of ordinary people, like a law-abiding citizen, is born in the Dantian, travels through the meridians of the body, and finally returns to the Dantian obediently, forming a stable cycle. The Dantian is like a solid castle, firmly guarding the source of the practitioner's power.

But Fu Qingzhou knew that he was not like that.

His Dantian has been destroyed.

His whole body is the “center”!
Every inch of skin, every muscle, and every bone is continuously oozing with true energy!
They were like a group of unrestrained wild horses, no longer restricted by the Dantian, but galloping freely in every corner of his body.

Every inch of his skin seemed to have turned into tiny springs, continuously gushing out trickles of true energy; every muscle seemed to have turned into vibrant hills, containing endless true energy; every bone seemed to have turned into solid pillars, not only supporting Fu Qingzhou's body, but also constantly absorbing, transforming and releasing true energy.

He finally passed the Six Realms Great Gate with the help of Master Wu Lian.

but……

Fu Qingzhou knew very well that this was just the beginning.

From now on, I have embarked on a path of cultivation that is completely different from that of ordinary people!
How should I open my martial arts skills in the future?

Or is it like ordinary people, with the seventh state opening the heart, the eighth state opening the six internal organs, and the ninth state connecting the meridians and acupoints throughout the body?
If so, how do these acupoints communicate with the muscles and bones that derive true energy?
If not, how should the martial arts be opened in the future?

In a flash, Fu Qingzhou's mind was filled with questions.

"Forget it. Now that I have finally broken through the sixth realm, I should stop thinking about these depressing things."

He felt the pain in his body gradually fading away and his true energy becoming increasingly powerful. He felt happy and prepared to open his eyes and say a few words.

And then... he failed.

"?!?!"

Fu Qingzhou was shocked.

He found that he couldn't open his eyes or speak!
Not only that, he couldn't even move his fingers!
What's going on? Hasn't the effect of the drug worn off? Why can't I control my body?

Even breathing became a little difficult...

Fortunately, after breaking through the sixth realm, the true energy flows through the lung meridian, and the practitioners can hold their breath for a long time. Fu Qingzhou's true energy is countless times stronger than those in the same realm. Even if his breathing becomes extremely slow, he is not afraid.

At this time, he also heard Zhuang Zhenglin's voice coming from his ear.

"Master Wu, what happened to Master Fu? Why is he smoking? And his skin is abnormally red... Is he cooked?"

Smoke? I'm smoking?
"Not urgent."

He heard Wu Lian say in a deep voice again: "Help him onto the bed and let me take a look."

Soon, Fu Qingzhou felt someone half dragging and half lifting him up and putting him on the bed. Then, Wu Lian's old fingers took his pulse.

"Um……"

After checking his pulse for a while, Wu Lian said in a deep voice, "His muscles and bones are too tired and he can't support himself."

“That red skin, and it’s still smoking…” Zhuang Zhenglin said worriedly.

"Is this even a question?"

Wu Lian snorted, "A piece of iron, without burning it, will turn red just by being hammered thousands of times! How much more so a human body?" "These muscles and bones compress the internal energy into true energy. How much contraction and compression have they experienced in a very short period of time? All the fat and fat in his body have been burned away! Can't you see that he is so thin that only skin and bones are visible?"

Only then did Zhuang Zhenglin utter a sound of sudden realization.

Fu Qingzhou just listened silently, feeling helpless...

Then what should I do?
As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Wu Lian said calmly: "This kid is probably just unable to speak or open his eyes at the moment, but he should be able to hear what you and I are saying..."

As he spoke, he patted Fu Qingzhou's wrist and said, "It shouldn't be difficult for you to roll your eyes. If you can hear what I'm saying, roll them."

Fu Qingzhou rolled his eyes quickly.

If a person moves his eyeballs, he can see through his eyelids even without opening his eyes.

"It turned, it turned!" Zhuang Zhenglin was overjoyed.

Wu Lian hummed, and said slowly: "Young man, don't worry, just lie down and relax. I will send you some pills to strengthen your body and nourish your essence later. After taking them, you will be able to recover slowly. During this process, you will probably be able to open your eyes and speak first, and then move your hands and feet after a few days, and then get out of bed after a few more days."

"During this process, your body's inner essence will also repair your body, so don't worry. In a few days, you will be able to walk briskly."

Hearing this, Fu Qingzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he couldn't thank her out loud at the moment, he could only roll his eyes to express his gratitude.

Soon, Wu Lian told Zhuang Zhenglin some more things, such as there was no need to deliberately arrange Fu Qingzhou's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. It would be okay for a sixth-level cultivator to go without food and water for a few days - but he must always pay attention to his breathing and heartbeat.

This time he suffered from severe muscle weakness, and the most likely symptoms were myocardial weakness and difficulty breathing.

Although true energy can support heartbeat and breathing, there is always a chance of unforeseen events and one should not rely on luck.

Fu Qingzhou listened secretly, thinking that Master Wu's medical skills were quite scientific...

He understood that his current condition was actually a bit like the late stage of ALS, and all his muscles were unable to be used.

In general, at the end of ALS, patients will have problems with breathing and heartbeat, and their muscles can no longer support them, resulting in death.

Soon, Wu Lian left leisurely, leaving Zhuang Zhenglin behind.

Of course, Zhuang Zhenglin was quite tired after taking care of the people for this period of time. Soon another disciple of the Wulin Alliance came to take over and brought some pills.

Fu Qingzhou was in no condition to swallow this kind of pill, so they could only crush it, soak it in water, and pour it into his mouth bit by bit.

After going through this process over and over again, just taking those pills took another cup of tea.

But for Fu Qingzhou, this is a rare "pleasure".

Now, he couldn't open his eyes or speak, but his new true energy was extremely strong. The true energy generated by Qi Ran and Yi Ran's two skills was like two groups of flying dragons, swimming in his body, making him a hundred times more energetic and unable to sleep.

Now every second really feels like an eternity.

Fu Qingzhou could only sink into the darkness, bored and thinking about random things in his mind.

From recalling the experiences I've had during this period of time, to reviewing the knife skills I learned a few days ago, to recalling the computer games I haven't played for more than ten years...

As he thought about this, the concept of time gradually faded away, and before he knew it, he finally fell into a deep sleep.
