Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Su Baichen bombarded Xuan Ding Zhenren with information, leaving the old man dizzy and disoriented.

It's not that Xuan Ding Zhenren, who has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, couldn't handle it; it's just that these official documents are filled with a lot of flowery nonsense, and it takes a lot of effort to understand and condense them in order to grasp their original meaning.

"You don't need to go into so much detail next time, really."

Master Xuanding made his request to Su Baichen in a very sincere manner.

Su Baichen responded, then said, "But I am still young, and I'm afraid I won't be able to understand some of the information..."

Xuan Ding Zhenren suddenly felt very guilty. After all, Su Baichen was only twelve years old, and he had assigned him to do such important intelligence work...

"Alright, from now on, whatever you discover, no matter how small, just tell me."

He resigned himself to his fate and resigned himself to a simpler life.

After Su Baichen responded again, he asked, "I only asked you to keep an eye on things at the Zhou residence. Surely the Zhou residence couldn't possibly have obtained all these official documents?"

Su Baichen immediately replied, "Senior Uncle, this is what I think. The Zhou family doesn't have a master yet, so the Prefect of Linxian Prefecture, as the local official, must be the one who has the most contact with information from the imperial court."

"Moreover, if anyone from the Zhou residence comes, the government office will definitely be the first to receive the news. I can just go and check when the time comes."

Master Xuanding hesitated and said, "That would be best if it could be so, but... did you encounter any difficulties at the government office?"

Upon hearing this, Su Baichen immediately understood that True Person Xuanding was aware of the suppression that the power of humanity exerted over cultivators. Therefore, his previous order was merely for Su Baichen to gather intelligence at the Zhou residence, since the Zhou residence was not yet the Prime Minister's residence and was temporarily outside the protection of the power of humanity.

He said, "There are no difficulties; I can come and go as I please."

Master Xuanding said with relief, "Now I can rest assured. You are indeed the most suitable person to do this."

He paused, processed the information he had received, and then said gravely, "This information is very important. The court's actions are worrying. If they are indeed carried out, the people of Linxian Prefecture will likely suffer."

Su Baichen immediately asked, "Senior Uncle, what can I do about this?"

Master Xuanding chuckled and said, "You don't need to do anything. This kind of thing is not for a junior like you to handle."

After saying this, Master Xuanding gave Su Baichen some more encouragement before ending the communication.

Su Baichen composed himself and then began to meditate and cultivate his Qi in the room.

He surprisingly felt quite safe while meditating in the government office.

After all, it's difficult for ordinary cultivators to even get close to this place, let alone someone sneaking in to cause trouble.

Sitting in meditation at this time would be perfect for accelerating the absorption of the medicinal power of the 'Purple Sun Pill'.

The "Purple Sun Pill" is extremely precious. It replenishes the body's essence and spiritual energy, which the cultivator then refines into true energy. This avoids the situation of exhausting resources and prevents the problem of an unstable foundation.

At this moment, the medicinal effects continued to spread, and Su Baichen's true energy increased continuously, circulating rapidly through his meridians.

However, he soon discovered that Master Xuanding had made a mistake in one of his statements.

It might take an ordinary person ten days to digest the medicinal power of a single "Purple Sun Pill," but he could digest it all in two days at most.

Because his body is stronger and his absorption capacity is better.

In fact, he has already compiled a body-refining method for the Foundation Establishment stage, which is extremely effective.

However, this was not yet a complete system. He planned to cultivate to a higher level and gain some more insights in the Qi Refining Realm before figuring out a body-refining method suitable for the Qi Refining Realm.

That's about all there is to it.

The inspiration he gained from the Soul-Suppressing Sword was at most enough to support him in developing his body-refining techniques to this extent.

At this moment, the true energy in his body continued to surge, causing his meridians to feel somewhat swollen.

After thinking about it, he decided to disperse his true energy into the acupoints connecting the twelve regular meridians and the hundred extraordinary meridians, and then spread the true energy to the eight extraordinary meridians through these acupoints for warming and nourishing.

Under this continuous supply of true energy, Su Baichen's eight extraordinary meridians, except for the Ren and Du meridians, all showed varying degrees of loosening.

This day of practice continued until evening.

Su Baichen went to the kitchen again, used illusion magic to have the kitchen prepare some delicious food for him, and then went to the prefect's study.

So far, the prefect has not taken any further action.

However, Linxian Prefecture is not far from the capital, and the letter can be delivered in a day by fast horse.

In other words, by tomorrow at the latest, Su Baichen will be able to see how the Prime Minister's residence, which is still in the capital, will respond to what has happened here.

The next day, Su Baichen got the answer he wanted: the Prime Minister's residence would immediately send trusted men to handle Zhou Cong's funeral arrangements.

We should have results within ten days.

Upon receiving this news, his body finally fully absorbed the medicinal power of the first "Purple Sun Pill".

He then began to consciously guide his internal energy to flow into the eight extraordinary meridians.

The next moment, the meridian pathways that had been nurtured and loosened were pushed open with overwhelming force.

His eight extraordinary meridians were unblocked one by one, and then the work of nurturing and expanding them began.

As a result, all twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians in his body were unblocked, and the circulation of true qi within his body was already very smooth and convenient.

However, this is not yet perfect.

The Great Circulation aims to allow the body's vital energy to circulate freely throughout the body without any stagnation, thereby achieving a communion between humanity and nature.

He is still far from achieving a true Grand Circulation, as the twenty-eight hidden meridians in his body are not yet fully open.

These twenty-eight hidden veins correspond to the number of stars in the celestial sphere, and there is naturally a reason for this.

Unlike the twelve primary meridians, which connect the hands and feet, these meridians are broad and unobstructed, serving as the main channels for the flow of vital energy in the human body.

It is also unlike the eight extraordinary meridians, which connect to many vital organs in the human body through the trunk.

They may just be a short section within the body, a winding path connecting two meridians.

These twenty-eight hidden meridians are like twenty-eight shackles in the body; once they are all unblocked, they can bring about a tremendous improvement.

Only then did Su Baichen realize that he had finally entered the most crucial stage of the Lower Qi Refining Realm, the Great Zhou Heaven Realm.

Previous cultivation was a natural process for cultivators, but the unblocking of the hidden meridians involved an individual's physical condition and aptitude.

In this respect, one should start practicing spiritual cultivation as early as possible.

As people age, these hidden meridians may completely close or even become stuck in the flesh and blood, making them impossible to open again.

At that time, although one could be considered to have succeeded in cultivating the Great Circulation, there was always a flaw that prevented it from reaching perfection.

Su Baichen checked his physical condition and then, without thinking, took out the second 'Purple Sun Pill' and swallowed it.

He has decided to use all the true energy generated by this Purple Sun Pill to nourish his meridians, including the eight extraordinary meridians that have just been opened and the twenty-eight hidden meridians that have not yet been opened.

Even if it's all wasted because of this, it doesn't matter, he's young anyway, and time is on his side.

The key is to open the hidden meridians as early as possible; the earlier the preparation, the more convenient it will be.
