Chapter 622 Plum Blossom Finger

"You can try and see if you can kill me like you killed Demon Thousand Breakers." Chen Guan neither admitted nor denied it, letting others speculate as they pleased.

"It seems that after so many years of not making a move, some humans have forgotten the fear of being dominated by me." Mei Sheng's eyes gradually turned cold. His pupils, which were originally like those of humans, suddenly dilated, turning from one large pupil into many small pupils, crowding into his eyes and filling them completely, so that the whites of his eyes could no longer be seen.

The spirits quickly retreated, and those who knew how terrifying Mei Sheng was also retreating.

Only Jin Taohua remained standing there, watching the two fight with great interest.

The Divine Martial King, who had joined forces with the Divine Martial Legion, also used secret techniques to monitor the situation in Mei City.

He did not leave immediately, nor did he even intend to leave.

"Your Majesty, what is the background of that person, that he possesses such terrifying power?" Qingya asked with a worried expression.

The Divine Martial King sneered, "He has only practiced the Reverse Yuan Technique. His Yuan Qi density and strength far exceed those of others of the same level, which is why he appears so powerful."

"Reverse Yuan Technique?" Qingya had never paid attention to this secret technique before, mainly because so few people could master it, making it difficult to attract widespread attention.

"It's a secret technique that can refine primordial energy, remove impurities and retain the essence, while compressing primordial energy. However, with each level of this technique, the upper limit of primordial energy is reduced to only one-tenth. Therefore, ordinary cultivators can't reach two or three levels, and the effect is only average. At least four levels or above are needed to see a particularly noticeable effect." Divine Martial King sneered, "Only a few cultivators with special talents or who use some special methods can cultivate the Reverse Primordial Technique to a high level. They all need to take shortcuts. Without a cultivator's own primordial energy, it is impossible to cultivate the Reverse Primordial Technique to a high level."

"If that's the case, wouldn't practicing the Reverse Yuan Technique make one invincible? Why are there so few people practicing it?" Qingya asked.

“Taking shortcuts isn’t so easy, and only a very few people can succeed. There’s no method that works for all cultivators. This Reverse Yuan Technique is destined to be a secret technique that only a few people can use. It’s indeed very powerful, but to say that it’s invincible is not necessarily true.”

The Divine Martial King sneered, "If he were truly invincible, then Mo Qianpo wouldn't have been killed. He does possess the ability to counter the Reverse Yuan Technique, and Mei Sheng's ability is one of them."

"Can Mei Sheng restrain the Reverse Yuan Technique?" Qingya asked, somewhat surprised.

“If that weren’t the case, why would I have feigned defeat and so easily given him the Dragon Blood Grass?” The Divine Martial King’s eyes narrowed, looking like a venomous snake ready to devour its prey. “I can’t break the Reverse Yuan Technique, but Plum Saint can. Let them fight like the snipe and the clam, and then we can reap the benefits. Perhaps then we can not only get the Dragon Blood Grass back, but also bring Plum City into my territory.”

"Since Master Mei can counter the Reverse Yuan Technique, what if he easily defeats that person and takes the Dragon Blood Grass?" Qingya pondered.

"It's not that simple. Mei Sheng will have to pay a heavy price to restrain the Reverse Yuan Technique. If his condition is still good, I only need to retrieve the Dragon Blood Grass. If he has also exhausted the secret treasure, it will be the best time for me to kill Mei Sheng and seize Mei City." Shenwu King had obviously already had his eye on Mei City, but he was not confident in dealing with Mei Sheng, which is why he had not revealed his thoughts.

This is an excellent opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. The Divine Martial King has considered all the possibilities and he is certain that he will not lose out no matter how he calculates it.

Chen Guan observed Mei Sheng's changes without much surprise.

Although Mei Sheng looks like a human, he is not a real human being after all, so it is normal for him to be different from people.

"Could this Mei Sheng be like Bu Changning, skilled in mental attacks?" Chen Guan muttered to himself as he looked into Mei Sheng's eyes.

According to the information he found, Mei Sheng doesn't seem to be good at mental attacks, and he probably doesn't have the soul attack ability like Bai Xiuyan.

However, just in case, Chen Guan still activated the Heroic Spirit Unsheathing state to prevent his soul from being attacked and ending up like Mo Qianpo.

However, Chen Guan did not feel his soul being attacked, nor did he sense any mental attack. Mei Sheng flicked his finger, and a thin, needle-like red beam of light flew out from his sleeve, shooting straight towards Chen Guan's brow like a laser.

Chen Guan struck out with his palm, the bloody handprint meeting the needle-thin red beam of light.

Ding!
The red beam collided with the palm, producing a crisp metallic clang.

The red beam of light was shattered. Although Chen Guan was unharmed, he could still feel a slight sensation where his palm had collided with the red beam. He looked at his palm and saw that there was no damage.

"How is my plum blossom finger technique?" Mei Sheng asked in a cold voice.

"Not very good." Chen Guan had heard of Plum Blossom Finger, but seeing it today, he realized it was indeed extraordinary. No wonder it was able to overpower all others in a place like Tianyuan Sea and establish the foundation of Mei City.

After experiencing it firsthand, Chen Guan learned that the Plum Blossom Finger technique is a secret method for compressing vital energy.

This is different from the Reverse Yuan Technique, which is not simply about compression, but also about clearing and reconstructing.

When practicing the Reverse Yuan Gong, most of the inferior Yuan Qi is expelled from the body, leaving only the highest quality and purest Yuan Qi to be broken down into its most primitive state for reconstruction and compression.

It's like a water glass. First, you put iron ore in it, then you fill the gaps with pebbles, then you fill it with sand, and finally you fill it with water.

The function of the Reverse Yuan Gong is to remove all the water, sand, and stone particles from the iron ore, then refine it, remove impurities, and finally refine it into refined iron.

In fact, this analogy is not quite appropriate, because the Reverse Yuan Technique is not just a simple refinement, but also a reconstruction and compression.

It's somewhat similar to turning lead into gold. By removing three protons from lead, the lead nucleus will become a gold nucleus.

Reverse reactive power reconstruction is a qualitative change, not just simple compression.

Completing the Reverse Yuan Technique is extremely difficult and consumes the vast majority of one's Yuan Qi. The final reconstructed and compressed Yuan Qi is the purest of all.

Plum Blossom Finger, however, is not like that. Plum Blossom Finger is simply compressing vital energy to its limit, more like pressing wood chips into a solid and dense plank.

It can indeed increase the strength of one's vital energy, but its upper limit is not as high as that of the Reverse Vital Energy Technique.

When the Reverse Yuan Technique reaches levels one, two, or three, the Plum Blossom Finger technique, being at a higher level, might be more effective than the Reverse Yuan Technique.

However, after reaching the fourth level of the Reverse Yuan Technique, the Plum Blossom Finger technique will be left behind. Even if the Plum Blossom Finger technique is trained to level 60, the compressed Yuan Qi will be difficult to compare with the Yuan Qi reconstructed by the fourth level of the Reverse Yuan Technique.

After the fifth level, the Plum Blossom Finger technique is even more advanced.

Chen Guan's nine-fold Reverse Yuan Technique is even more beyond the reach of the Plum Blossom Finger.

Moreover, the effect of Plum Blossom Finger is only effective when using Plum Blossom Finger. After practicing Reverse Yuan Gong, it will benefit any secret technique.
