Simultaneous transmigration, but with low martial arts and low magic.

Chapter 52 Ren and Du Meridians

Seeing this, Li Ke stuffed the two manuals, Iron Palm Skill and Water Walking, into his pocket, then used his lightness skill to go to the shade of the eaves, close his eyes, and sit cross-legged.

He began to fully digest the surging blood and qi in his body, transforming it into immense internal energy, and then using it to break through the Ren and Du meridians and reach the Innate Realm!

Seeing this, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Li Mochou, and Mu Nianci also silently came to Li Ke's side to protect him.

Looking at the three people beside her, Li Mochou asked in a cold voice:

"Who are you? What is your relationship with him?"

"And who are you? What's your relationship with him?"

Looking at the aloof and elegant Li Mochou, Huang Rong asked with a slight smile.

"I……"

Li Mochou opened her mouth as if to give an answer, but after thinking for a moment, she realized that she couldn't give an answer at all.

The exact nature of his relationship with Li Ke remains uncertain.

"friend."

After thinking for a long time, Li Mochou finally gave the answer that was closest to the truth.

With a slight smirk, Huang Rong said with a mischievous grin:

"We are also Li Zhiguang's friends, friends who would share life and death."

Upon hearing this, Li Mochou gripped her sword tightly.

"snort."

With a cold snort, Li Mochou ignored Huang Rong and the others, and instead went to the shade of a tree to warily look around.

They planned to wait until Li Keyun had digested the massive amount of blood and energy before returning to the Ancient Tomb Sect, ensuring his safety.

After all, although the martial arts practitioners who attacked had gradually left, who knew if they might launch a counterattack?

Seeing this, Huang Rong and the others came to Li Ke's side, leaning against the shadows and warily looking around to guard against any approaching enemies.

Among them, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen and Zhou Botong were catching up not far away. After more than ten years apart, they had so much to say to each other.

As for Li Ke's fellow disciples and the miscellaneous disciples of the Quanzhen Sect, they were naturally outside cleaning up the corpses and remains.

Not only must the corpses and remains be buried, but scriptures must also be recited for them according to custom to appease their resentment; only then is the matter considered closed.

Huang Yaoshi, on the other hand, picked up a pointed stern bullet and began to examine it carefully.

The study investigated why, despite both being techniques involving a flick of the finger, this pointed stern bullet was used as a projectile.

This is not only because the attack range of the Finger Flicking Divine Skill has greatly increased, but also because its speed and power have been greatly increased.

……

Time passed slowly, and after an incense stick's time, Li Ke, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Mu Nianci, and the other two immediately came to Li Ke's side.

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen, who were chatting idly, and Zhou Botong and the others slowly walked over after seeing this.

"How's it going? Have you opened up your Ren and Du meridians yet?"

Huang Rong asked Li Ke first.

As far as she knew, Li Ke had already opened up the twelve meridians of the human body, and his next goal was to open up the Ren and Du meridians.

After consuming the Qi and Blood Elixir, which can increase one's internal energy by 40 years, I wonder if he took the opportunity to open up his Ren and Du meridians?

"Only the Ren meridian was opened, not the Du meridian."

It is said that the human body has twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians.

These twelve meridians of the human body are responsible for the transportation of Qi and blood, running through all the internal organs and are symmetrical on both sides.

Central Plains martial arts generally follow the "orthodox first, then unorthodox" approach, which means first opening the twelve regular meridians of the human body, and then opening the eight extraordinary meridians.

The reason is that this is the most moderate and peaceful approach, with the lowest risk of going astray, and it aligns with the idea of ​​gradual progress and the principle that haste makes waste.

Among these, the eight extraordinary meridians include the Ren meridian, Du meridian, Chong meridian, Dai meridian, Yin Qiao meridian, Yang Qiao meridian, Yin Wei meridian, and Yang Wei meridian.

Because of the harsh environment in the Western Regions, where survival is extremely precarious, the priority is naturally to pursue martial arts that can be learned quickly and can rapidly build up combat power.

Therefore, they prefer to first open up the Chong Meridian, Dai Meridian, Qiao Meridian, and Wei Meridian among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, thereby quickly enhancing their strength and speed.

Then, by combining unpredictable moves, weapons, and highly poisonous substances, they can enhance their survival and combat capabilities.

Only after that can one open the twelve regular meridians or the Ren and Du meridians. Their martial arts concepts are quite different from those in the Central Plains.

However, whether they are martial artists from the Central Plains or the Western Regions, their ultimate goal is definitely to open up the Ren and Du meridians, simply because the effects of opening up the Ren and Du meridians are too strong.

The Ren and Du meridians are related to the yin and yang energies of the human body, and to the balance of yin and yang. Once they are unblocked, the loss of innate vital energy can be prevented.

These locked-in innate vital energies will nourish and repair the five internal organs, meridians, muscles and bones, and delay the aging of the body.

This is also why, more than twenty years later, when Guo Jing was defending Xiangyang, the Five Greats were already in their seventies and eighties, yet they were still so powerful and formidable.

Of course, nourishing and repairing the internal organs, meridians, muscles and bones, and prolonging life are just side effects of opening up the Ren and Du meridians.

After opening up the Ren and Du meridians, the most powerful effect is actually that it will transform internal energy into innate true qi.

The power of this innate true energy will be more refined, and its penetrating power and the ability to change between hardness and softness will far exceed those of ordinary internal energy, as if a qualitative change has occurred.

Therefore, even if a master with innate talent and a master who has acquired talent use the same martial arts, the power and effect will be different.

Furthermore, once the Ren and Du meridians are opened, the innate true qi can circulate through the Great Heavenly Circuit, greatly increasing the recovery speed.

They could fight and recover their inner strength at the same time, which was a continuous and inexhaustible process. This is why the Five Greats were able to fight for seven days and seven nights.

Therefore, martial artists, whether from the Central Plains or the Western Regions, all regard opening up the Ren and Du meridians as the ultimate goal.

However, whether one can actually do what one thinks is another matter entirely.

Throughout history, very few people have been able to successfully open up the Ren and Du meridians; they can be counted on one hand.

In order to preserve the body's innate vital energy from leakage, the Ren and Du meridians are naturally sealed, forming two mysterious passes.

Because acquired internal energy is impure and heavy with turbidity, it can cause swelling and pain in the meridians and reverse the flow of qi and blood when breaking through barriers, making it easy to go astray and fall into demonic possession.

This is also true for many exceptionally talented martial artists who, despite being young, have already opened up the twelve main meridians of the human body and are theoretically ready to challenge the Ren and Du meridians.

But in reality, they were still quietly accumulating and refining their internal energy, waiting for decades to accumulate enough pure internal energy before attempting to break through the Ren and Du meridians.

The reason is that the risk of impacting the Ren and Du meridians is too great; a slight mistake could lead to qi deviation and demonic possession.

This kind of qi deviation will either kill a martial artist on the spot or leave permanent sequelae, damaging their foundation and causing them to suffer from illness.

Therefore, martial artists in both the Central Plains and the Western Regions are extremely cautious about attempting to break through the Ren and Du meridians.

Only when you have confidence in your own mind will you dare to attempt to break through the Ren and Du meridians.

At this point, Li Ke had only opened the Ren meridian but not the Du meridian, which was a standard indication of failure in opening both the Ren and Du meridians.

Logically, Li Ke would either die on the spot or become a cripple, tormented by illness and living a life worse than death.

The problem is that Li Ke possesses an immortal body, capable of repairing his meridians and hidden injuries, so he naturally won't die on the spot or become a cripple.

"Tsk tsk, it's truly a rare occurrence that only the Ren meridian was opened and not the Du meridian."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoshi clicked his tongue in amazement.
