Dragon's Origin

Chapter 327: Golden Stripes (Part 1)

Developing the acupoints is another lengthy process, requiring a massive amount of spiritual Qi. This can only be accelerated with the help of the sixteen avatars of the combat awareness villain; otherwise, it would take even longer.

Simply put, there are too many acupoints. Last time, Wang Sheng only developed sixteen acupoints and completed the Taiji Yin-Yang Qi vortex, which took a full two days and two nights. This time, with the number doubled, it is estimated that the time will also double.

Calculating it, it seems Wang Sheng can only develop the acupoints first, rest in between, and then complete the Taiji Yin-Yang Qi vortex. Otherwise, if it drags on for too long, adding up to six days without food or water, it would be a great drain on the body. Even with ample spiritual Qi to replenish now, the body still needs substance and metabolism.

It's not that there aren't those who can go into seclusion for a long time without food or water, like Old Daoist Ling Xu last time. However, that is too damaging to the body. Even a cultivator as high as Old Daoist Ling Xu was unable to move when he first woke up and had to slowly stretch his muscles and activate his blood. Then, he couldn't eat too well, recovering with rice porridge for half a month.

Even so, it took Old Daoist Ling Xu several months to fully recover, from the time Wang Sheng led the Jade Treasure Workshop to develop that camp until it was completed.

Wang Sheng wasn't so foolish as to combine two things that could be done separately into one, just to pay the price of damaging his body. If it weren't for the acupoint development immediately following the Yuan Soul upgrade, making it impossible to interrupt, Wang Sheng wouldn't mind separating these two events.

Developing the acupoints is still an important process, and Wang Sheng treats it with caution. The huge spiritual Qi vortex in the sky is still there, continuously sending spiritual Qi into Wang Sheng's body through that spiritual Qi thread, opening the acupoints one by one.

One, two, three... thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two. When the thirty-second acupoint was completely opened, it finally came to an end. Wang Sheng slowly opened his eyes. The spiritual Qi thread disappeared in an instant when Wang Sheng opened his eyes. Before two breaths had passed, several muffled thunders suddenly sounded far away in the sky, rumbling with an astonishing momentum.

Wang Sheng looked up at the sky, which was boundless. Where did the clouds come from? But where did this thunder come from?

Not only was Wang Sheng surprised, but even Old Daoist Ling Xu and the Grandmaster were surprised. What was the situation of thunder in broad daylight during a drought?

"Finished?" Seeing Wang Sheng move, Old Daoist Ling Xu threw a question over in annoyance.

"Finished!" Wang Sheng nodded in response.

"Do you feel anything unusual?" Old Daoist Ling Xu asked again.

"Unusual?" Wang Sheng tried to feel it. It was normal, nothing was wrong. He twitched his nose and could easily determine who was in the courtyard of the Sutra Depository, how far away there were books, and how far away the building was, which was many times more sensitive than before.

This was not an abnormality, but a normal manifestation of enhanced sense of smell. He hadn't checked the spiritual Qi yet, but at least it looked fine, everything was good, so Wang Sheng immediately replied, "Everything is fine, nothing unusual."

Old Daoist Ling Xu closed his eyes and sensed Wang Sheng's aura again. Wang Sheng was right there, not disappearing like during spiritual Qi tempering. The old Daoist frowned. Could it only be useful during spiritual Qi tempering? That wouldn't be very meaningful.

"You can't see it yourself, but the two of us have discovered some unusual things in these three days." Seeing Wang Sheng's confused look, Old Daoist Ling Xu knew he didn't understand. Moreover, Wang Sheng had asked them both before the promotion about what the Yuan Soul state should be like, so Wang Sheng should be unaware.

Thus, Old Daoist Ling Xu explained, and the Grandmaster supplemented, telling Wang Sheng about the unusual situations they had discovered while Wang Sheng was drinking rice porridge with a bowl in his hand after just finishing the promotion.

Golden light appeared on the surface of the body, flashing and disappearing; no heaven and earth phenomena were triggered, but spiritual Qi tempering was successfully completed; during spiritual Qi tempering, two experts could not sense Wang Sheng's aura, one of whom was the super expert Old Daoist Ling Xu. Each of these things was more peculiar than the last and could not be explained.

Hearing that golden light began to appear on the surface of his body and then disappeared, the first thought that flashed through Wang Sheng's mind was the golden纹花纹 on his arm that he saw when he absorbed Mei'er's daughter fragrance. There must be some connection between them. He wasn't sure what the specific effect was, but it must also be related to the later abnormalities.

Wang Sheng didn't care about not triggering the heaven and earth phenomena, as long as he could successfully temper his spiritual Qi. After all, triggering the heaven and earth phenomena was just a step in the normal promotion process. Without it, there might not necessarily be no successful result. Wang Sheng had already successfully promoted, which meant that the result was correct. It wasn't so crucial to have one less step. Speaking of which, wasn't thunder during a drought also a phenomenon?

However, the fact that two great experts could not detect Wang Sheng's aura was too useful to Wang Sheng. If he could use this trick anytime and anywhere, would Wang Sheng still be afraid of being followed by others? He could just drill into a mountain forest, and who could find him?

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Wang Sheng racked his brains, he couldn't figure out how to use this method. It seemed he could only wait and slowly explore it in the future.

For now, Wang Sheng should rest for a while, after all, he had spent three days and three nights. After resting well, rejuvenating himself, and carefully checking his body and Yuan Soul space, he could add the Taiji Yin-Yang Qi vortex to the newly opened acupoints, and then he could practice the advanced techniques he had dreamed of but couldn't reach the conditions for before.

Smell, he had just checked too hastily and not very carefully. Now Wang Sheng carefully tested it, and sure enough, it was many times more sensitive than before spiritual Qi tempering. Wang Sheng could tell what materials were used, how the heat was, and whether it was boiled enough in the bowl of rice porridge that the Grandmaster made from a distance. It was like a dog's nose at such a distance.

The whole body has undergone another spiritual Qi enhancement, and the physique will only be further improved. As for the spiritual Qi cultivation level, there will not be many earth-shattering changes just after the promotion.

The Yuan Soul has completely turned into the appearance of Suanni, swallowing clouds and spitting fog. Wang Sheng hasn't figured out what the conditions are for the Qiu Niu transformation, so the opportunity for transformation hasn't appeared yet. However, the combat awareness villain seems to have absorbed a lot of spiritual Qi this time, and it looks like Wang Sheng only needs to be promoted once more to split again.

After checking the combat awareness villain, Wang Sheng's consciousness was about to exit the Yuan Soul space when he accidentally discovered that some golden stripes were faintly visible in the path full of clouds, and then instantly obscured by the clouds.
