After the internet was disconnected, I connected to the magic world.

After returning from Yunqi Mountain, Lin Ze finished reading all three books that same day.

With the added enlightenment from the meteor buff, you can understand the text after reading it once. The acupoints, routes, and precautions can all be accurately applied to yourself.

He knew exactly where each of the eight extraordinary meridians went, which acupoints it passed through, and what checkpoints it had.

Forced penetration won't work; I need to take medication.

Lin Ze opened the Magic Network General Store and immediately started buying things.

I bought five bottles of second-tier body-tempering potion and ten portions of tiger-striped leopard blood essence.

He also picked out a few more second-tier herbs to nourish his soul, spending a total of over three hundred magic coins.

There's a little over a thousand left in the account, which is enough.

Once he had the items, he moved the bath tub to the backyard, mixed hot water, poured in a bottle of medicine, and added half a portion of his own blood.

The water instantly turned dark green, steaming, and the smell of medicine made one's nose sting.

Lin Ze took off his clothes and sat inside. His skin felt like it was being pricked with needles, much stronger than the first-level medicine.

He didn't take it seriously, closed his eyes and focused his mind, letting his fighting spirit sink down from his dantian all the way to his perineum.

Master Xuanqing is right: going with the flow is mortal, going against the flow is immortal.

Normally, when fighting spirit flows along the twelve meridians, it nourishes the body from top to bottom. This is a natural flow, nourishing the mortal body.

Now, to activate the Du meridian, you need to push the fighting energy upwards from the perineum, along the spine, all the way to the top of the head. It's a reverse flow; once you get through it, you'll be reborn.

The difficulty lies in going against the grain.

"Let's begin."

Lin Ze steadied himself, condensed his fighting spirit, which was imbued with the medicinal power, into a single burst, and rushed towards his coccyx.

The coccyx is located on the tailbone and is the first gate of the Governing Vessel, which is completely blocked.

When his fighting spirit clashed with it, it was like hitting cotton; most of the force was dissipated, and the rebound made his lower back numb.

If once doesn't work, try twice; if twice doesn't work, try ten times.

He gritted his teeth, channeling his fighting spirit upwards, and the medicinal power continuously replenished his bloodstream, replenishing whatever he consumed.

Sweat poured down my back like water, mingling with the medicine in the bucket and dripping down.

After grinding for almost an hour, with a muffled "hum," the coccyx was opened.

The fighting spirit surged upwards along the Du meridian, passing several acupoints before reaching the Jiaji point, which is located in the middle of the back, where it was blocked again.

This barrier was even harder to overcome; his fighting spirit surged through it more than ten times without making a dent, instead causing a tightness in his chest.

Lin Ze didn't force it. Instead, he channeled his spiritual energy, wrapping it around his battle qi, and slowly seeped it in, like water dripping on stone, gradually wearing it down.

After grinding for another two hours, the Jiaji Pass was finally opened.

The fighting spirit surged upwards, reaching the Jade Pillow Pass at the back of the head.

This is the final and most dangerous hurdle, right next to the head; one wrong move and it could damage your soul.

Lin Ze withdrew his momentum and proceeded steadily, breaking his battle qi into thin streams that seeped into the enemy little by little.

After more than half an hour, the Jade Pillow Pass trembled slightly and opened.

The moment the fighting spirit surged out through the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, Lin Ze felt a jolt throughout his body, as if an electric current had shot from his tailbone to the top of his head, making his scalp tingle.

He instantly became clear-headed, able to hear the chirping of insects hundreds of meters away, smell the scent of grass and trees on the back mountain, and even the spiritual light in his mind brightened up.

The Du meridian is open.

He didn't rest; his fighting spirit traveled down from the top of his head and connected to his Ren meridian.

The Ren meridian runs along the front of the body, from top to bottom, which is a smooth flow and much easier to walk on.

It passes through the chest and dantian, and finally returns to the perineum.

A perfect circle, front and back.

The Small Heavenly Circuit has been completed.

The moment the cycle was formed, the fighting energy in the dantian began to spin wildly, and the originally pale white, floating energy ball became more and more solid as it spun.

It slowly turns milky white, with a heavy, weighty texture, like liquid metal.

Lin Ze's heart skipped a beat.

This is no longer ordinary fighting spirit.

According to the forum, the ability to condense battle qi to its ultimate level and transform it into qi into qi is a skill possessed only by warriors.

He raised his hand and flicked it at the courtyard wall ten meters away.

A milky-white blade of air flew out, half a meter wide and two meters long, piercing the air with a sharp whistling sound.

A snap.

The half-foot-thick bluestone slab in the corner of the courtyard was split in two, the cut surface so smooth it could reflect light, much sharper than the previous blade strike.

"罡气 (罡气)." Lin Ze clenched his fist; the feel was completely different.

He focused his mind again, and a small sword, half a foot long, slowly floated into his palm. It was made entirely of condensed qi, with sharp edges, and the shape of the blade was clearly visible.

Previously, it could only condense a blurry ball of light, but now it can be precisely shaped into a sword, increasing the precision several times over.

Lin Ze tried tiptoeing again, his inner energy enveloping his feet and lifting them slightly upwards.

He floated three centimeters off the ground, hovering for two seconds before landing.

The prototype of flight.

It's clearly stated on the forum that only a third-tier Battle Master can achieve short-distance aerial flight.

He has just entered the Innate Realm and has already touched the threshold.

With the twelve regular meridians plus the Ren and Du meridians, circulating through the microcosmic orbit, his combat power was forcibly increased to a level close to that of a Battle Master.

Lin Ze withdrew his internal energy and closed his eyes to test his mental strength.

A wisp of spiritual energy was drawn out and pulled outwards, three meters, five meters, six meters...

The thread was stretched to six and a half meters before it swayed slightly, but it still didn't break.

The threshold is at least 1.8.

It was only 1.2 before, and now it has increased by almost half.

No wonder it is said that when the Ren and Du meridians are open, one's spirit and soul are invigorated.

The effects of Qi cultivation and spirit transformation fully manifested after the Small Heavenly Circuit was completed.

Lin Ze opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

The water in the bathtub had long since cooled down, and a layer of dark brown sludge floated on top, even more than when I had my twelve meridians cleared last time, and it smelled terrible.

He got up and took a cold shower, feeling relaxed from head to toe.

The remaining six extraordinary meridians—Yinqiao, Yangqiao, Yinwei, Yangwei, Chongmai, and Daimai—do not need to be deliberately stimulated.

As the microcosmic orbit circulates daily, the Qi and blood become increasingly abundant, naturally opening up the remaining six pulse channels—a natural and inevitable process.

Lin Ze dried his hair and walked into the yard.

It was completely dark, but the stars were very bright.

He's not in a hurry to quench the remaining pulse.

From the moment he got the meteor until now, all he could think about was building up his spiritual power, practicing the Divine Transformation Magic, and becoming a mage.

Previously, I didn't have enough mental strength, so I could only suppress it.

That's enough.

The seventy-two-layered rune array can finally be properly set up.

Lin Ze's lips curled up slightly.

The path of the martial artist has been paved; now it's time to fulfill the dream of the mage.
