“The Qi produced after two hours or so of cultivation is already more than that of all of the Qi together from the past 10 days. What an awesome “Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture”! It is indeed a peak level martial arts formula of the human realm. It is indeed amazing.”

An unprecedented feeling of strength flowed through Ding Hao’s body.

“The Seed of Qi is about to reach fulfillment. After this, I should charge the first meridians of martial arts, the first meridian of Hand’s Minor Yin.”

Only by opening the meridians and apertures could he truly enter the path of martial arts.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful one’s sword techniques were, without the use of Qi, it was but just a skill and did not possess any strength. Before a true powerhouse, he would not be able to pierce through their skin with a stroke, much less kill him.

The “First Meridian of Hand’s Minor Yin” started from the dantian. The first level of cultivation method in the “Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture” included this meridian and the position of its nine major apertures. Sun Fei carefully led the Qi from his Seed of Qi into the meridian.

Wisps of gentle Qi quickly found the meridian and entered successfully.

Generally speaking, the size and hardness of one’s meridian’s passageway determined one’s potential in martial arts.

Ding Hao was assessed to have a second class meridian earlier. This class was considered average. It was not wide, and as such, when the Qi first entered the meridian, Sun Fei felt as if there were a blockage and bloatedness.

“Oh? Could my meridian be this small?”

Ding Hao frowned lightly, feeling slightly indignant.

He considered for a moment and did not stop. Instead, he sped up the rate and strength of the charge.

To an ordinary person, the meridian was not naturally smooth. Due to various reasons, some blockage would appear later in life. They were just like various abandoned river channels with sediment building up. One would need to push these “sediments” away to ensure that the river would flow smoothly.

Therefore, the charging of Qi into the meridian was a process of clearing away the “sediments”.

Qi could only flow normally once the blockages in the meridians were cleared. Then, the Qi would flow throughout the body to provide strength for the body.

After he increased the charge of the Qi in both speed and power, Ding Hao was shocked to discover that the pain from his meridians tearing did not happen. The first meridian of Hand’s Minor Yin still felt blocked and bloated… However, it somewhat felt slightly comfortable.

“Oh? What’s happening?”

Both the “Drawing Qi Formula” and the “Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture” had mentioned seriously that forcefully charging the meridians might cause tearing and damage to it. The pain was like being bitten by tens and thousands of ants and one would rather die before the pain.

But this did not happen to Ding Hao.

As such, he felt rather odd.

“Even though I have yet to arrive in the Inner Vision Realm, but I am certain that “Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture” is right. The only explanation is that my meridians are different from others. There is something odd about them. It is very likely that it has something to do with the white liquid in the strange encounter I had in the cave of garbage cliff.”

Having the souls of two lives allowed Ding Hao to rationalize calmly.

Then, he tried once again. He continued to pull out stronger Qi from his “Seed of Qi” and increased the strength of his charge through his meridian.

This process was slightly dangerous and Ding Hao was very careful.

If he used too much strength and damaged his meridian, he might harm himself and damage his potential. That would do him more harm than good.

However, what delighted Ding Hao was that even when he increased the charge of Qi to his meridians by twofold, the First Meridian of Hand’s Minor Yin felt comfortable. There was not a hint of pain, and the previous sense of bloatedness gradually disappeared.

Almost within a moment, his First Meridian of Hand’s Minor Yin doubled in size.

The meridian seemed to have thickened.

Ding Hao led his Qi out of the meridian passageway. Then, at the next moment, the size of his First Meridian of Hand’s Minor Yin returned to its original state.

“Wahaha, so this is why. I understand now. Hahaha, so my meridian is incredibly flexible. It is like an extremely bouncy spring haha. Even though it’s original size is average, the amount of Qi it can hold and let through is several times of its size!”

Ding Hao could not help but laugh loudly.

Such flexibility was very rare. It was a meridian of the spiritual class.

He had guessed correctly earlier. The silver robed elder from the outer sect who had tested his meridians had gotten it completely wrong.

Ding Hao even already knew why the silver-robed elder had gotten it wrong…

In the test, when the elder discovered that the passageway of his meridian was thin, he had not dared to charge it with Qi several times stronger to test the flexibility of his meridian. This was because he had been tested to have a spiritual class and rare property talent earlier. If the elder had used too much strength and damaged Ding Hao’s meridian passageway, he would be charged with having destroyed an emerging talent of the spiritual class. This was something an outer sect silver-robed elder cannot afford.

As such, the silver-robed elder naturally did not know that while Ding Hao’s meridians were thin, they were so flexible they could be considered to be in the spiritual class. As such, he could only deem him to have a second class meridian.

Actually, Ding Hao’s guess was completely right.

The outer sect silver-robed elder in charge of the test had tested him several times and seemed flustered due to that.

After understanding this, Ding Hao suddenly felt elated.

Spiritual class physical property!

Spiritual class meridians!

If the news that there was someone who was talented both in the spiritual class and the body spread, it would shock the entire Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

If the “scout” from Tranquility Academy knew that he had missed out on a genius with two Spiritual class talents, he might even want to kill himself.

Such aptitude would make any sect in Snow Province do anything to take him as their disciple.

Ding Hao sat on his spot and laughed to himself for a while. After a long while, he finally calmed down from his excitement and then continued to cultivate.

After ascertaining the class of his meridians, he did not have to be careful anymore. Instead, he used the most powerful strength in his “Seed of Qi” at the moment and charged the First meridian of Martial Arts, the Hand’s Minor Yin meridian.

Indeed, after the initial bloatedness, the Qi flowed faster and faster through the passageway of his meridian. It flowed smoother and smoother.

In the blink of an eye, Ding Hao had already charged open about 10 percent of the First Meridian of Hand’s Minor Yin.

After that, the crux of the matter arrived.

According to “Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture”, in the first 10 percent of the First Meridian of Hand’s Minor Yin, was an extremely important aperture. It was deemed the first aperture amongst the hundred in the human body and was named the Holy Spring. It was like a large steel door, blocking the meridian passageway.

To martial artists, charging open the Holy Spring aperture would mean a soar in strength class.

Furthermore, only by charging it open, would one be able to continue charging the other passageways and aperture of the First Meridian of Hand’s Minor Yin.
