What a lucky world!

Chapter 10: Instructor Wang: Don't move here, I'll go get your reward...

Teacher Wang has finished his fifth cup of tea.

He looked at Zhang Mu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, with some doubt and hesitation.

"Why is it taking so long?" Instructor Wang was worried. Normally, if he just used his innate martial arts to find the location of the meridians, with the guidance of the meridian map, two or three cups of tea would be enough.

Now the time has doubled!

In fact, Teacher Wang already had an answer in his mind.

That is, the martial luck in Zhang Mu's body is too weak.

Because of the thin military luck, it is not running so smoothly.

From this perspective, it seemed that we had overestimated Zhang Mu's ability to open up three or four acupoints within a month.

I guess it will take one or two.

Madam Zhuang is really capable. The reward is there. If you have the ability, go and get it. If you don’t have the ability, you can’t blame anyone else.

At the same time, outside Instructor Wang's house, several outer courtyard disciples gathered together and whispered.

Although they did not know about Madam Zhuang's reward to Zhang Mu, they knew that Zhang Mu had mastered the Qingsong Fist Sutra in one day.

"Humph, I just peeked through the window and saw that guy was still checking the location of his meridians." said a little fat man.

"I think he must have come into contact with the Qingsong Fist Sutra before, which is why he was able to comprehend his innate martial luck so quickly." Another disciple echoed, "It's been so long since he's been able to detect his meridians. His talent is truly terrible!"

"Yes, yes. In my opinion, it may take more than a month to open the first acupoint." A female disciple also said, "Senior Brother Liu is really amazing. He opened the first acupoint in just five days. My father said that Senior Brother Liu has the potential to reach the rank of master within half a year!"

"Wow..." All the disciples made sounds of envy, and all looked at Brother Liu who was sitting cross-legged in the practice room and meditating to stimulate his meridians.

Senior Brother Liu, who had been eavesdropping on everyone's conversation, also felt everyone's gazes. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, opened his eyes, looked at everyone, and said softly, "Stop playing around and start practicing."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately sat down and returned to the practice room. Senior Brother Liu took another look at Instructor Wang's room.

When he first heard that the person was recommended by the accountant and they were not related to him, he really thought that a genius had come and was going to overshadow him.

It seems that I was worrying too much.

That's right, a talent like his cannot be suppressed.

Liu Song closed his eyes again with satisfaction.

Instructor Wang naturally heard the discussions outside, and was very pleased to see that his most satisfied disciple called everyone else back to practice.

"Liu Song is still reliable..." Instructor Wang sighed.

At this moment, Zhang Mu took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and opened his eyes.

Great!
Although the Tianji Ranking once again exhausted the ten taels of silver worth of white energy, he also reached the 90th place in the ranking and successfully strengthened his innate martial luck five times.

As for detecting the location of the meridians...

Just take a turn and you’re done!
"Teacher Wang, I'm fine now." Zhang Mu said to Teacher Wang excitedly.

Instructor Wang saw Zhang Mu's eager smile and thought of his thin innate martial luck. He sighed quietly in his heart, then adjusted his mindset and nodded: "Okay, then choose the meridian to open for the first time."

"The twelve meridians have different numbers of acupoints, and opening them will enhance different abilities."

"The Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin has nine acupoints distributed along it. Opening them can help to calm the mind and reduce physical exhaustion during sleep."

"The Shouque Yin Pericardium Meridian also has nine acupoints. Opening them can concentrate the mind and suppress the impulses brought on by blood and qi."

"The hand Taiyin lung meridian has eleven acupoints. If these are opened, one can hold his breath and not drown in water."

"The Liver Meridian of Foot Jueyin has fourteen acupoints. If these are opened up, one's eyes can become like those of an eagle, allowing them to see things that ordinary people cannot."

"The Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian has nineteen acupoints. Opening them can simultaneously improve hearing and vision."

"The Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian has twenty acupoints. Opening them up can improve your resistance to poisons. A poison that kills an ordinary person instantly might only weaken you for a few days."

"The Spleen Meridian of the Foot Taiyin has 21 acupoints that have a certain additive effect on the absorption of energy from food."

"The Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian of the Hand has 23 acupoints. Opening them up can improve hearing."

"The foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian has 27 acupoints. When kidney qi is sufficient, the essence and energy are strong. Opening up these acupoints can make one's blood and qi more abundant."

"The Gallbladder Meridian of Foot Shaoyang has 44 acupoints. Opening them can clear the brain, making judgment and reaction better than that of ordinary people."

"The Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming has a total of forty-five acupoints. Opening them allows one to absorb energy that cannot be absorbed at the Tongmai level in advance. Children of wealthy families often open this meridian first, then use high-level monster meat or elixirs to open other meridians. However, you don't have the foundation for this, so I don't recommend it."

"Finally, there's the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, which has a total of sixty-seven acupoints. It's also the longest of the twelve meridians. Unblocking it can help one recover faster, and even if injured, the recovery will be much quicker."

"This is the additional ability of the twelve meridians."

"Have you decided which meridian to choose?"

Zhang Mu recalled what Instructor Wang had said about the meridians in his mind. He didn't rush to give an answer, but instead asked, "Instructor Wang, how do you usually choose?"

Instructor Wang smiled and said, "You've heard it too. I'm telling you in the order of the number of acupoints."

"Generally speaking, everyone would choose to open up the meridians with fewer acupoints first. After all, as long as one meridian is opened up, no matter how many acupoints there are, it will improve one level."

"The Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian and the Hand Queyin Pericardium Meridian are both the first choice."

Zhang Mu nodded. Although he was very interested in the kidney meridian, he also felt that he should choose the meridian with fewer acupoints first.

"I'm playing the Shaoyin Heart Sutra!" said Zhang Mu.

"Okay. Now do as I tell you," Instructor Wang said. "The Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian begins in the heart, runs through the chest, throat, face, hands, and finally ends in the chest."

"Concentrate the innate martial energy at the starting point of the meridian, slowly wrap the meridian, and extend it forward along the meridian..." Zhang Mu listened to the guidance of Instructor Wang, closed his eyes, as if he saw a long meridian in his body. He manipulated a colorful gas ball to cover the meridian, and then extended it forward.

Suddenly, a mountain seemed to appear on the road, stopping the expansion of the colorful air mass.

"Huh? You've found the acupoint so quickly?" Instructor Wang was also a little surprised. Based on Zhang Mu's previous performance in locating the meridians, he thought it would take Zhang Mu one or two days just to sense the first acupoint.

Although he was a little confused, Instructor Wang still said, "Use your martial energy to attack the acupoints!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mu immediately did as Instructor Wang said and controlled the colorful gas ball to crash into the mountain!

"Don't rush, take your time!" Instructor Wang instructed from the side, "Strike the acupoints requires a lot of practice."

"It's easiest to hit the first acupoint."

"My disciples here can break through in about ten days. Even the best Liu Song took five days."

"Your innate martial luck is a bit weak. If you work hard, you should be able to break through in about twenty days..."

At this time, Zhang Mu could no longer hear the voice of Instructor Wang. He was concentrating on controlling his innate martial energy to impact the acupoints. With each impact, he could feel the acupoint shake, as if it would be opened at the next moment.

Seeing that Zhang Mu was immersed in the acupoint attack, Instructor Wang stopped talking and turned to look at the other disciples' practice.

After he had instructed all his disciples and returned, he saw that Zhang Mu had stopped impacting his meridians and was scratching his head, not knowing what was going on.

"Zhang Mu, cultivation requires perseverance. I've only been away for less than half an hour, and you've already stopped?" Instructor Wang said sternly, "Your innate martial luck is weak, so you must work even harder. Otherwise, you may not be able to reach the first acupoint in a month..."

"No, Instructor Wang!" Zhang Mu explained, "I should have... opened the first acupoint..."

"What's not... huh? What did you say?" Instructor Wang said halfway, his voice suddenly rising, "You opened the first acupoint?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Mu nodded.

"Impossible!" Instructor Wang said it was impossible, but he still stretched out his hand and pressed a finger on the acupuncture point that Zhang Mu had just opened. Zhang Mu immediately felt a tingling sensation at the acupuncture point.

"It really broke through!" Instructor Wang looked at Zhang Mu in disbelief. After a while, he reacted and asked, "How do you feel now?"

"I feel like... I feel a little stronger." Zhang Mu clenched his fists, then hesitated for a moment and said, "Also, I'm hungry!"

"It feels like I haven't eaten in days. I'm so hungry now!"

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I felt like!" Instructor Wang was now certain. He glanced at Zhang Mu's pale face, then hurried out of his room, rushed into the practice room, and came directly to Liu Song.

"Instructor Wang!" Liu Song saw Instructor Wang approaching and quickly stood up. Before he could say anything, he heard Instructor Wang ask, "Do you still have the dried rabbit meat you usually carry with you?"

Liu Song nodded blankly and took out a bag of dried meat from his pocket: "There's still... a little bit left!"

"Consider it a loan!" Instructor Wang snatched the dried meat away and said, "Newcomer Zhang Mu has opened his first acupoint and needs energy replenishment. I'll have the kitchen compensate you later!"

After saying that, Instructor Wang rushed back to his room, leaving the practice room in silence.

"Has the first acupoint been opened?"

"It's less than half an hour, right?"

"No way?"

"Isn't that even more powerful than Senior Brother Liu?"

Everyone looked at Liu Song. The corners of Liu Song's mouth twitched slightly, and he laughed dryly: "Ha...haha...haha...this Junior Brother Zhang...seems to be very powerful...powerful..."

then……

"What are you looking at me for! Is there a meridian map on my face?"

"Your parents spent so much money to send you here, just for you to see me?"

"They broke through the first acupoint in half an hour. If you don't work harder, you won't be able to catch up even if you try your best!"

"Don't you know that the early bird catches the worm?"

"All of you fly!"

……

When Liu Song broke through the defense, Instructor Wang had a kind look on his face and poured a glass of water for Zhang Mu who was swallowing dried meat.

"Excuse me, the kitchen definitely hasn't prepared the food yet. This is some jerky made from wild rabbit meat. Eat some first to fill your stomach."

"Thank you, Teacher Wang."

As soon as the dried meat entered his stomach, Zhang Mu immediately noticed something different. It seemed that the dried meat contained a kind of essence of energy. This energy did not go down the throat into the stomach and intestines, but was absorbed into the acupoints that he had just opened after entering the mouth, and filled into the acupoints. At the same time, he also felt that his hunger had dissipated a little.

"Discovered?" Instructor Wang said from the side, noticing Zhang Mu's expression. "Wild beasts are nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and their Qi and blood are abundant. Therefore, they are the first choice for warriors to eat. Just this small piece of dried meat is equivalent to the Qi and blood provided by ten kilograms of beef."

"It's just a little dry..."

"No, it's quite delicious..." Zhang Mu took another piece of dried meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Do you like it? Then I'll ask someone to bring more next time." Instructor Wang looked at Zhang Mu with satisfaction and felt relieved.

The first acupoint was opened in half an hour?
This talent is even more terrifying than that of Song Biaotou!

Old Wang's vision was still as good as ever. He discovered from the beginning that this child was extremely talented and even went directly to report it to Madam Zhuang.

Thinking of this, Instructor Wang suddenly reacted.

correct!

I need to tell Madam Zhuang about this!
"Zhang Mu, don't move here..." Instructor Wang stood up and walked out, "I'll go get your reward..."
