Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 28 Cultivation Technique

As for whether anyone will stop him? Just kidding. The previous Blue Silver Emperor was love-struck, otherwise he wouldn't have sacrificed himself. This generation of Blue Silver Emperor only cares about the benefits he gains. After his martial soul evolution is complete, he won't care about the suffering of the grass. On the contrary, Jiang Li is popular with the people. Even if he wanted to stop him, he would be powerless. This is the desire for evolution of thousands of Blue Silver Grass, which he cannot stop.

"Never mind, let's put that aside for now. Your soul power level has already reached level 30. Have you considered your soul rings?" Dugu Bo asked.

Because part of the Black Jade Divine Bamboo replenishes his origin and the other part enhances his soul power, Jiang Li has now reached level 30.

Jiang Li lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "Let's wait until Sister Yan's martial soul has finished evolving her spirit rings. I'm not in a hurry."

To be honest, Jiang Li hasn't decided on his third spirit ring yet. His first spirit ring is a control type, his second is an attack type, and his third spirit ring could be an amplification or recovery type. He'd say the spirit ring's age is four to five thousand years.

"Yes, that makes sense. Let's get them together then," Dugu Bo nodded.

At this point, Jiang Li remembered the matter of cultivation techniques.

"By the way, senior, there's something I need your help with."

"What kind of busy?" Dugu Bo looked confused. Was this kid up to something again?

"Here's the thing, I have an idea in my head, but I don't know if it's feasible. Could you please give me your advice, senior?" Jiang Li explained about the cultivation technique, and then took out several sheets of paper from his ring. They were covered with densely packed meridian diagrams, pathways, and some ideas.

Jiang Li had wanted to create a new method for a long time, but his level was too low, and he hadn't come into contact with many meditation methods, nor did he have enough cultivation insights, so he simply put it off. Now that Dugu Bo is here, he should be able to help solve the problem.

Dugu Bo took the paper Jiang Li handed him and looked at it for half a minute. Then he sat down and circulated his soul power according to the route on the drawing. He was surprised to find that cultivating according to the meridian route on the drawing was much faster than meditation.

"Wow, Jiang Li, your idea is incredible! It could change the balance of the entire Soul Master world!"

Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Li as if he were a monster. Not only were his medical skills and theories so strong, but his ideas were also so audacious. He had only been practicing cultivation for a short time, yet he had already come up with such a route for circulating soul power.

"Unfortunately, this is only a prototype. My understanding of cultivation is insufficient, and I can only offer an idea. So, I would be grateful if you could help me research it."

Jiang Li rubbed his hands and said that his theory only existed on paper, and since Dugu Bo could cultivate it, it meant that there was no mistake.

The idea that Jiang Li gave to Dugu Bo included the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, which in turn included the Small Heavenly Circuit and the Great Heavenly Circuit.

The Eight Extraordinary Meridians are a category of meridian pathways in the human body, mainly including the Governing Vessel, Conception Vessel, Penetrating Vessel, Belt Vessel, Yang Wei Vessel, Yin Wei Vessel, Yin Qiao Vessel, and Yang Qiao Vessel. Unlike the Twelve Regular Meridians, they are not directly connected to the internal organs, nor do they have an exterior-interior relationship. Instead, they follow "different and unusual paths," hence the name "Extraordinary Meridians."

The Small Heavenly Circuit, also known as the microcosm of the human body, refers to the process of guiding the body's vital energy (qi) to circulate along the Ren and Du meridians through cultivation, thereby achieving a state of yin-yang balance. It is an essential path to the higher realm—the Great Heavenly Circuit.

The Great Circulation, also known as the Unity of Heaven and Man, is one of the highest realms of cultivation. At this stage, true qi not only circulates in the Ren and Du meridians but also flows freely and smoothly throughout the body's meridians, ultimately achieving harmony between body, mind, and the universe. This requires further expanding the scope of true qi circulation based on the Small Circulation, connecting the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians to form a complete systemic circulation.

Generally speaking, the first step in cultivating the Small Heavenly Circuit is to calm the mind and guide the Qi in the body from the lower Dantian along the Du Meridian to the top of the head, and then down along the Ren Meridian back to the lower Dantian, forming a small cycle. This is one Small Heavenly Circuit.

The Great Circulation begins at the Yongquan point on the heel, slowly rising along the back of the leg to the coccyx, then ascending along the spine, passing the coccyx, the back vertebrae, and the Yuzhen point, before turning upwards to the head. From the Baihui point on the top of the head, it descends to the Shenting, Tanzhong, and lower Dantian points, then down the inner sides of both legs to the Yongquan point and the toes.

"Leave it to me. Your method of operation has impressed me. You've even marked out the meridians. I'll modify it for you."

"By the way, you're the original creator, so you need to stay here and watch, lest I make a mistake."

hold head high--

A loud dragon roar swept through the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and the two people looked and saw that Dugu Yan had completed the evolution of her martial soul.

Because Dugu Yan's martial soul was only the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, she did not become a Serpent Emperor and transform into a Flood Dragon like Dugu Bo, instead becoming a new sub-dragon type martial soul, the Golden Scale Flood Dragon.

The Golden-Scaled Flood Dragon is a colossal dragon, comparable in strength to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and is proficient in earth-based attributes while having abandoned poison. It possesses the power to overturn an earth dragon. Its golden scales are not only beautiful but also incredibly strong defensively.

The Golden Scaled Dragon has four claws growing from its belly, a dragon's head, and a fish's tail. Its drawback is that the dragon horns on its head have not fully evolved, and it almost became a true dragon.

Her entire body was covered in golden scales, and the poison attribute was expelled during the evolution of her martial soul, and was also converted into soul power. It can be said that Dugu Yan will have no further involvement with poison in the future.

The dragon's head is majestic and imposing, its golden vertical pupils revealing the majesty of a true dragon, and its limbs are thick enough to walk. It is the complete image of an Eastern dragon, much like the golden dragon in mythology.

Dugu Yan opened her eyes. Her martial spirit had already possessed her body, and her entire body was covered in golden scales, especially her left hand, which was thicker than her right hand.

"Huh? Yan Yan, is your left hand using some kind of secret dragon transformation technique?"

Dugu Bo had a sharp eye; Dugu Yan's left arm clearly resembled a dragon's arm. He had seen the dragon arm of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex in its dragon form, and Dugu Yan's was exactly the same as theirs.

"It seems so. My left hand has turned into a dragon claw. I don't know how it happened, but now that my martial soul has been attached to me, I have the ability to transform into a dragon. I can feel that the power in my hand has doubled, the poison attribute is gone, and my soul power has reached level 30. I'll only know the exact level after I absorb a soul ring."

Dugu Yan looked at her right hand and found that her strength had increased, and even her poison skills were gone, as if they had been rejected by her new martial soul. This made her extremely happy. To be honest, if her martial soul wasn't poison-attribute, how could a girl like her deal with poison all day long? Now that the poison was gone, it meant she could become a power-attack type.

"Haha, what great news! It's even more powerful than the dragon transformation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan. Looks like we'll have to revise the soul beasts we prepare for Yan Yan from now on."

Dugu Bo was also delighted to hear Dugu Yan's words. Because his martial soul was a snake, he had always been severely suppressed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, unable to unleash even 70% of his strength. Now, both grandfather and granddaughter's martial souls had evolved to the same level as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and Dugu Yan's martial soul was even slightly stronger. However, they couldn't let outsiders know for now, as martial soul evolution was no small matter. Otherwise, powerful forces would definitely try every means to uncover the secret of martial soul evolution. (Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School: You might as well just say my name.)

"Come, Yan Yan, Jiang Li and I have some new ideas about cultivation. Please take a look."

Jiang Li looked at Dugu Yan and clicked his tongue. How should I put it? The new martial soul is very beautiful, and Dugu Yan is even more beautiful because of the martial soul.

"Huh? Grandpa, who is this?" Dugu Yan asked, pointing at Jiang Li's appearance with a puzzled look.

"Him? He's Jiang Li," Dugu Bo explained.

"Huh? He's Jiang Li?" Dugu Yan exclaimed in shock. Then she came up to Jiang Li and looked him up and down curiously.

"Wait, what do you mean? What are you talking about?" Jiang Li was completely confused by the grandfather and grandson. Weren't they supposed to be researching cultivation techniques? Why were they suddenly concerned about his appearance?

Upon hearing Jiang Li's question, Dugu Yan's expression turned strange as she said, "You don't actually know what you look like now, do you?"

Then, Dugu Yan took out a mirror and handed it to Jiang Li, saying, "You should take a look at what you look like now."

Jiang Li took the mirror from Dugu Yan, glanced at himself, and blurted out instinctively, "Holy crap!"

"This is me!?" He was surprised again.

The mirror reflected her fair skin and deep blue hair.

"Am I becoming a gigolo?"

Jiang Li, who hadn't had a chance to check his physical condition earlier, quickly examined himself carefully.

Then I gained a new understanding.

"My skin is probably better than even a 16-year-old girl's, right? And my hair is so damn smooth..."

"Wow, she's lost a lot of weight! Is this what they mean by 'good things come in small packages'?"

"Plus that fair and delicate face, damn, I wonder if people will mistake her for a girl if we go out like this?"

Jiang Li had thought he might change a lot, but she didn't expect the change to be this big; it was as if he had become a completely different person.
