After becoming familiar with the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Zhu Zhuqing began to follow Xiao Yan's instructions and prepare to open her second meridian.
Xiao Yan wasn't just protecting Zhu Zhuqing's heart meridian; he was also carefully sensing the situation as she worked to open her meridians.
Upon careful observation, he was surprised to discover that although Zhu Zhuqing's Inner Strength quantity and control were inferior to his, she found it much easier to open her meridians.
Watching Zhu Zhuqing's steady breathing, Xiao Yan thought to himself, After all, it's her own body, so it's more natural for her to use it. If I were to do it, it would feel like a strong man trying to hold tofu; I would need to be extremely cautious at all times.
Previously, when teaching Zhu Zhuqing the Mysterious Heaven Skill, all of her Soul Power had been converted into Inner Strength.
Therefore, when Zhu Zhuqing mobilized her full strength to open her meridians, it was like divine assistance, incredibly easy.
Before long, she had opened the entire meridian.
Zhu Zhuqing was secretly delighted, surprised by her own talent. After adapting to the second level of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, she began to open her third meridian.
However, this time was not as easy.
It took a long time before the entire meridian was about seventy or eighty percent open, and the final few acupoints presented even greater difficulty.
At this crucial moment, Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to give up easily. Remembering Xiao Yan's words, she didn't dare to be overly aggressive, instead repeatedly circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
She had always been determined to become stronger, and now the opportunity was right before her. With focused concentration, her cultivation became more effective, and her speed of absorbing elemental energy from the world increased.
Furthermore, the residual medicinal power within her body was now fully utilized.
With the aid of this new power, the remaining acupoints held on for a while before finally being completely opened.
Zhu Zhuqing decided to strike while the iron was hot and began to open her fourth meridian.
But the feeling in this fourth meridian was completely different from the first three. Just the first acupoint felt as hard as a rock, making it difficult to break through.
Knowing she had reached her limit, Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes, a hint of regret in her voice, "I only managed to open three meridians."
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing wake up, Xiao Yan also withdrew the Inner Strength that was protecting Zhu Zhuqing's heart meridian, pulling back his hand.
Released from the immense force, daung, it bounced slightly, and her heart meridian immediately returned to normal.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said, "Feel your Inner Strength. You should be able to reach the level of Soul Power of a thirty-level Soul Master."
"Inner Strength? Is this what the Mysterious Heaven Skill cultivates?" Zhu Zhuqing was startled at first, her beautiful eyes looking at Xiao Yan with suspicion.
Xiao Yan nodded, "Indeed. But if you prefer to call it 'Soul Power', that's fine too. It's just a name."
Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll still call this power Soul Power. After all, I've been calling it that since I was a child, so I'm used to it."
Sensing the power within her, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate face immediately lit up with a smile: "I really broke through to level thirty! I broke through three levels in a row."
Her Soul Power level was originally twenty-seven. She hadn't expected to break through three levels in less than half a day.
Although the process was a bit difficult to describe, the effect was immediate.
"Can I improve this quickly from now on?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with a smile.
Xiao Yan raised his hand and tapped Zhu Zhuqing's head: "What are you thinking? If breaking through was this simple, then this Mysterious Heaven Skill would be too overpowered."
Zhu Zhuqing touched her head in slight pain, pouting, and said with a little grievance: "Then what happened to me?"
"There are many reasons for your breakthrough this time. Firstly, it's because of the Medicinal Bath. Secondly, I guided your meridians, and your cultivation aptitude improved a lot. Thirdly, when your Soul Power was converted into Inner Strength, it merged with a small strand of my Inner Strength. I originally thought it would take you some time to fully master it.
But I didn't expect that when you opened up your third meridian, under the full operation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, you not only completely absorbed the remaining medicinal power in your body but also thoroughly integrated that strand of Inner Strength."
Zhu Zhuqing realized: "No wonder I felt that my Soul Power was running strangely at first."
Xiao Yan explained, "Judging by your body's reaction, the Mysterious Heaven Skill is very well-suited for Soul Masters. However, to reach its highest level, you need a strong physical foundation. The reason you could only break through three meridians is precisely because your physical condition is too weak."
"That Medicinal Bath earlier... it can improve my physical condition, right? Can you continue to help me in the future?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xiao Yan with some anticipation.
"Help you again?" Xiao Yan gave a wry smile. One time almost killed him; another two times, and he felt like he'd be internally injured.
Seeing Xiao Yan's strong reaction, Zhu Zhuqing blinked, "You're not... incapable, are you?"
Xiao Yan almost couldn't resist pulling out his forty-meter Green Dragon Crescent Blade and chopping Zhu Zhuqing down.
"As long as you can endure it, then it's fine," Xiao Yan agreed immediately.
Want to freeload? Then get ready to suffer! Nobody's getting off easy!
Xiao Yan suddenly thought of something, "Right, after you start training with me, you won't be able to wear your usual clothes anymore. I'll make you a brand new set. These clothes will be heavy, which will also accelerate your training speed."
"I understand." Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly. As long as she could get stronger, that was all that mattered.
Xiao Yan raised his hand, then paused, remembering that he wasn't making clothes for himself. He asked Zhu Zhuqing, "Do you have any preferences for the style?"
Zhu Zhuqing said indifferently, "Anything is fine, as long as it can speed up my cultivation."
Xiao Yan decided to stick with what he knew best. He could probably make Zhu Zhuqing's leather outfit, but he wasn't familiar with it.
With his Inner Strength activated, several strands of blue-gold vines emerged from his palm, quickly growing into the air and beginning to weave together.
Watching this incredible scene, Zhu Zhuqing was once again amazed.
Perhaps only Xiao Yan could use the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to this extent.
Not only could it be used to attack, but also to eat, and it could even explode.
Unexpectedly, it could even be woven into clothes now.
Because it was a style he was familiar with, Xiao Yan finished making the weighted clothing for Zhu Zhuqing in just a few minutes.
He made a complete set, even preparing a pair of shoes for her.
Placing the clothes and shoes on the bed, Xiao Yan got up and walked off the bed, saying, "You can try them on to see if they fit. If there's anything that doesn't fit, I'll modify it for you right now."
"These are the weighted clothes?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the pair of white suspender stockings at the top of the clothes and couldn't help but purse her lips.
Why were Xiao Yan's training methods always so strange?
