Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

Carrying a bottle of good wine and a bag of fragrant roasted chicken, Shen Lin entered the backyard of the county office.

"Master Yuan, I've come to see you."

As soon as Shen Lin spoke, the old man, who had been lying on a bamboo chair sunbathing, darted in front of him with a speed that completely belied his white hair.

"Hibiscus Wine?" He completely disregarded his image, pressed his nose to the wine jar in Shen Lin's hand, sniffed, and said with a look of intoxication, "And it's a thirty-year vintage... Boy! What windfall did you get that you're willing to buy such good wine to find this old man?"

As he spoke, he raised his head, looking at Shen Lin with surprise in his eyes.

The old man was sent by the prefecture to guide the constables of Qiulin County in martial arts. Everyone in the county office, from top to bottom, only knew that his surname was Yuan and that his strength was unfathomable, so they respectfully called him Master Yuan.

However, even this Master Yuan couldn't see through Shen Lin's current martial arts realm.

After all, with the help of the system, Shen Lin had studied the power of Qi and blood for nearly a hundred years, and his control over it had reached perfection.

Neither the previous County Constable Hu nor the current Master Yuan could see that Shen Lin was not just a simple martial artist, but a Meridian Opening realm martial artist who had opened three meridians.

Shen Lin smiled slightly and slightly released the Qi and blood power in his body.

"Oh my goodness..."

This time, the old man was so shocked that his hometown dialect came out.

He widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Although I knew your talent was good, how long have you been officially practicing? You've already become a martial artist?"

"Just lucky," Shen Lin sighed and said, "I was facing a life-and-death crisis at the time, and I don't know why, but I broke through."

Hearing this, Master Yuan seemed to think of something, his eyes dimmed as he nodded and said, "Between life and death, there is indeed a great opportunity. Come, sit! Have a drink with this old man."

He led Shen Lin to a stone chair and sat down. The old man rubbed his hands and solemnly opened the fine wine. First, he took a deep breath of the aroma, then directly raised the wine jar and took a big gulp.

"Ha! That's refreshing, come on!"

Shen Lin took the wine and sipped it, watching the old man tear open the oil paper and eat the chicken. He wanted to ask something, but in the end, he closed his mouth and handed the wine jar over.

The old man didn't say anything, only focused on drinking wine and eating meat. Before long, only a pile of chicken bones and an empty wine jar remained on the stone table.

"嗝!" The old man, burped with satisfaction, his face greasy and his eyes a little dazed, said, "You came to me for the next step of cultivation, right?"

Shen Lin smiled and said, "Master Yuan is wise!"

"You little brat, you're very cunning. You wouldn't come to me with good wine and meat if you didn't have something to ask." After scolding with a smile, he wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeve and said solemnly, "Alright, I'll tell you about the cultivation path after becoming a martial artist."

Hearing this, Shen Lin's expression became serious, and he clasped his fist and said, "Master Yuan, I am grateful for your guidance..."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop! Less nonsense, use that thought to bring me more wine in the future."

Waving his hand to interrupt Shen Lin's performance, the old man pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Martial arts cultivation, the birth of Qi and blood power to become a martial artist, this is just the beginning, you must not be too complacent! The road ahead will only become more and more difficult."

"After becoming a martial artist, have you practiced the Blood Battle Saber Technique again?"

Seeing Shen Lin nod, the old man immediately said, "Then you should also feel that when practicing martial arts, the Qi and blood power in your body will be mobilized and naturally flow. This is the key to reaching the next step, the Meridian Opening realm!"

"Find the meridians, determine the meridians, and finally open the meridians!"

"Each time you open a meridian, you can increase your Qi and blood power by one times out of thin air."

Shen Lin thought of the three meridians he had opened and asked, "Master Yuan, do you know how many meridians there are in the human body in total?"

"A total of twelve!"

Hearing this, Shen Lin felt that his head was going to explode.

He had used more than a hundred years of life to open three meridians. How much demon life would it take to open all of them?

The matter of slaying demons must be carried out as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Then do I just need to continue practicing the Blood Battle Saber Technique?"

"Of course, you can do that. But..." The old man shook his head and said, "I don't recommend it!"

"The earliest martial artists did this, using martial arts to mobilize the Qi and blood power in their bodies and naturally open the meridians. But this requires extremely high talent, and it takes a long time."

"With low-end martial arts like the Blood Battle Saber Technique, even with your talent, it would probably take more than ten years to break through to the Meridian Opening realm."

You really think too highly of me.

Shen Lin couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He had to know that even with the help of the system, it had taken him twenty-eight years to break through from a martial artist to the Meridian Opening realm.

"Then if you find some high-grade martial arts, can you..."

Before Shen Lin could finish his question, the old man interrupted, "Indeed! High-grade martial arts involve more meridians, making it easier to feel the location of the meridians. But similarly, the time it takes to open the meridians is the same."

Seeing the confusion on Shen Lin's face deepen, the old man stopped being mysterious and said directly, "Today's martial artists need two things to reach the Meridian Opening realm as quickly as possible."

"One is Meridian Opening martial arts! This kind of martial art has no killing power, it is only for mobilizing the Qi and blood power in the body, which can allow martial artists to more easily feel where the meridians are in the body."

"The second is elixirs and miraculous medicines similar to the Meridian Opening Pill, which can greatly speed up the process of opening the meridians."

Speaking of this, the old man shook his head and said with some regret, "Unfortunately, these two things are controlled by those powerful aristocratic sects and the imperial Demon Suppression Division, and outsiders cannot easily obtain them."

Shen Lin asked hesitantly, "Didn't you previously..."

"Are you talking about the Meridian Opening Pill I obtained before?" The old man chuckled and said, "That's what I exchanged from the Demon Suppression Division with merit points after staying in this Qiulin County for nearly twenty years. Do you think this old man has that much face? Look at Sun Zhi, he has killed so many demons in recent years, and he was only able to exchange the most basic Meridian Opening secret technique and Meridian Opening Pill from the Demon Suppression Division."

Hearing this, Shen Lin's eyes lit up and he asked, "Squad Leader Sun... exchanged for the Meridian Opening Pill?"

"It should be arriving in the next few days. That guy has escaped death so many times that he finally has the hope of taking it a step further."

The old man said with emotion, looked at Shen Lin, shook his head and said, "All the knowledge I have learned is bound by an oath and cannot be passed on, otherwise I would have a Meridian Opening secret technique that I could give you."

As he spoke, he took out a tattered book from his arms and threw it over.

"This is a martial art that I obtained from the enemy after I killed them back then. Take a look at it, it's still stronger than the Blood Battle Saber Technique anyway."

Shen Lin took the book, his face full of joy.

To be honest, he didn't really care about any Meridian Opening secret technique.

After all, with the existence of the system, he believed that as long as there was enough demon life, he would always be able to figure out the location of the meridians in his body.

What he needs most now is martial arts, and...

Meridian Opening Pill!
