From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 45 Perfection
Meng Yuan did what he said and sat down cross-legged.

He first thought about the method taught by Master Nie, and then closed his eyes, emptied his mind, and closed his ears to the outside world.

After a while, I felt the warmth in my dantian and the surge of my internal energy.

Meng Yuan's mind moved at will, and the true energy slowly flowed out from his dantian, passing through various meridians and reaching various acupoints.

The true Qi dispersed to the opened acupoints, and then poured into and impacted Meng Yuan endlessly. He felt that his whole body was full of energy, and he just wanted to fight hard.

The circulation of true Qi in this way cannot be sustained. Firstly, it is extremely tiring, and secondly, it consumes a lot of energy.

After Meng Yuan swallowed the green fruit, his dantian became slightly larger, his true qi became more abundant, and his acupoints also became larger.

After just a short while, most of the true energy in Dantian had been consumed.

Meng Yuan continued to press hard to squeeze out the Qi in his Dantian.

After a while, he suddenly felt something strange. The acupoint on the top of his head seemed to have a subtle connection with his Dantian under the impact of the infusion of true qi.

This connection is like a vague silk thread, which is extremely thin but seems impossible to cut or remove.

Then, silk threads emerged from the limbs and torso, all connecting to the Dantian, reflecting the depiction.

The last thirty-three silk threads are intertwined and entangled, seemingly chaotic and yet orderly.

Meng Yuan felt that as long as the true qi in Dantian reached the place of reflection, the location of the corresponding acupoints would be able to manifest externally.

In this way, the Kuangfeng Sword Technique can be used as desired and its power will be increased.

"Is this... done?" Meng Yuan opened his eyes.

…………

Nie Yannian's face turned red from drinking. After he left the room, he realized that this was not Zuiyue Tower and he didn't need to run away to avoid paying the bill.

"The wine was sent by my daughter as a treat, and the castrator didn't spend a penny!" Nie Yannian wanted to go back and have a couple more drinks to make up for his investment.

But when I looked back, the young gelder had already sat down cross-legged, looking as if he was determined to finish today's work.

Seeing this, Nie Yannian was no longer in a hurry and planned to take a walk around the training ground before coming back.

Although the method of penetrating the lower thirty-three days has just been mentioned, there are still many tricks and experiences that have not been mentioned. Nie Yannian feels that Meng Yuan will definitely find obstacles after trying it, so he will have to come to ask for advice again.

As soon as Nie Yannian walked out of the courtyard, he saw a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old walking on the road outside.

The girl holding a few thread-bound books was Jiang Tang.

When Jiang Tang saw someone coming out of the house, she blinked her big eyes at the other person, then quickly bowed and said happily, "Excuse me, is this Teacher Nie?"

"Do you know me?" Nie Yannian smiled. He had secretly gone to Mu Zhuang to check on Meng Yuan, so he naturally recognized Jiang Tang. However, ever since the grandfather and grandson of the Jiang family came to the palace, he had been busy outside, so this girl should not have seen him.

"I heard it from my brother." Jiang Tang held the book and bowed again.

"What did your brother say about me?" Nie Yannian asked with a smile.

"My brother said that it was Teacher Nie who taught him martial arts, so I have to show respect to him as a junior when I meet him." Jiang Tang said obediently.

"I see." Nie Yannian wanted to drink more, but since the family was here, he didn't want to disturb them any more, so he said, "Your brother is in the room, go ahead, I'm leaving now."

"Teacher Nie, I see you seem to have drunk some wine. Can I make you a bowl of sobering soup?" Jiang Tang tried to persuade him to stay.

Nie Yannian had heard a lot of such empty words, but when he glanced at the little girl, he found that she was actually very sincere and had no intention of being distant from him. Instead, she was quite familiar with him, as if she really regarded him as a close elder.

"I remember you were working at Xunmei's place, right? Why are you back?" Nie Yannian looked at the little girl and couldn't help but think of his own daughter. "I came to see if my brother is back." Jiang Tang answered honestly.

"Oh? Where did he go?" Nie Yannian glanced into the yard.

"We went to Muzhuang." Jiang Tang said seriously, "My brother said that life has gotten better now, but we should not forget our roots, so we should go to Muzhuang to take a walk, recall the good and bad times, and cherish the present more."

"This kid has some knowledge." Nie Yannian was relieved to see that the gelder was not going out to have affairs, and asked again, "Did the little gelder say anything bad about me?"

"No." Jiang Tang immediately shook his head and said seriously, "My brother never speaks ill of others behind their backs. Besides, Teacher Nie is a teacher that my brother respects, how could he possibly say that?"

"Then what did he say?" Nie Yannian asked.

"My brother told me before he went to Muzhuang that if grandpa and I were bullied when he was not at home, we should just endure it for the time being. If we encounter serious problems, we should ask Teacher Nie for help." Jiang Tang said honestly.

After hearing this, Nie Yannian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Both you and the little gelder are from Xunmei. Why don't you come to Xunmei when you encounter problems, but come to me instead?"

"My brother said that Sister Mei can indeed protect people, but she is a little far away after all. Teacher Nie is really capable of doing things, so if you are undecided, just look for Teacher Nie." Jiang Tang hugged the book and said happily: "Since my brother said so, then Teacher Nie must be one of our own."

Nie Yannian smiled when he heard this and said, "The little gelder has stuck to me!"

Jiang Tang also smiled and said, "Then it's only natural for me to make you a bowl of hangover soup."

"Okay, you go and prepare. I'll go around the parade grounds and come back later." Nie Yannian saw that the little girl was indeed sincere and not being hypocritical and polite, so he agreed.

However, he was accustomed to the world and knew that the young gelder was practicing his skills at the moment. It was okay for him to chat with the little girl on the way, but it was not appropriate for him to go into the room.

Nie Yannian was just about to go to the training ground when he saw the door open and Meng Yuan walked out with a confused look on his face.

"This is a difficult situation. Looks like I have to teach you the skills!" Nie Yannian smiled in his heart.

"Master Nie." Meng Yuan stepped forward and patted Jiang Tang's head again, "Go make a few dishes. I'll treat Master Nie to a drink."

Meng Yuan had a sense of perfection after this, but Master Nie said that to achieve perfection, it would take three to five days at the fastest, or even several years at the slowest. However, it had only been a short while for him, so it was too fast.

Therefore, I have to find Master Nie to talk to him and ask him about the method to open the thirty-three heavens.

"Okay!" Jiang Tang agreed immediately, bowed to Nie Yannian, and then hurried to the small kitchen.

"I drank too much today. I have to go." Nie Yannian said cautiously.

"Master Nie, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I just want to have a good drink with you!" Meng Yuan grabbed Nie Yannian and refused to let him leave.

Nie Yannian was dragged into the room, forced onto a chair, and poured with wine.

After talking nonsense for a while, Meng Yuan asked directly: "Master Nie, how can I open the thirty-three heavens after the ninth level is perfected?"

"Look, you're anxious again." Nie Yannian drank a bowl of wine and said, "You haven't even opened the book yet, and you want to take the exam?"

"Master Nie, I seem to have succeeded in reflection and engraving, and it has been perfected." Meng Yuan poured the wine vigorously.

Nie Yannian said casually: "Then tell me how you feel?"

Meng Yuan immediately spoke of his feelings as he penetrated the lower thirty-three heavens and reflected and portrayed them.

Nie Yannian didn't say anything when he heard this. He tapped the table with his knuckles. After a long while, he said, "You are a talented person!"

"If jade is not carved, it cannot become a useful object. If it were not for Master Nie's wise teaching, how could I be where I am today? Drink the water and remember its source. Master Nie, please drink." Meng Yuan poured the wine.

Nie Yannian pointed at Meng Yuan with his finger for a long time, but couldn't utter a word.
