535: Chapter 535 Four Meridians!

"Exchange eight for me."

Qin Yan made his decision.

Eight meridian opening pills were exactly 40 tiangang points.

The staff was very efficient and soon brought back a jade box from the back, which contained eight meridian opening pills neatly arranged inside.

Qin Yan took the jade box and paid the 40 tiangang points.

At this point, he only had 2.13 tiangang points left.

But looking at the eight Medicinal Pills in his hand, he was very satisfied.

"Thank you."

Qin Yan put away the jade box, turned around, and left the Resource Hall.

...

He returned to his room.

Closing the door, he shut out all the noise from the outside world.

Qin Yan sat cross-legged in the living room.

He took out a meridian opening pill.

The Medicinal Pill was pale gold all over, about the size of a thumb, with fine patterns engraved on the surface, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

Without hesitation, Qin Yan popped it straight into his mouth!

The Medicinal Pill melted as soon as it entered his body!

A surge of warm medicinal power instantly exploded within him!

The medicinal power was gentle and long-lasting, flowing slowly along his Meridians and spreading to all parts of his body!

Qin Yan immediately activated the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture!

As the Cultivation Technique operated, the blood qi and Devilish Qi in his body surged instantly!

The red blood qi was like a rushing river, and the black Devilish Qi was like a profound abyss. The two forces converged in his body, pushing the surges of medicinal power to rapidly strike the second meridian!

When he first achieved a Breakthrough to the Fifth-Rank Early-stage, he had already opened one meridian.

That was the sign of entering Body Refining and the foundation for stepping into the Meridian Opening Realm.

Now, he was opening the second meridian!

Inside his body, that meridian was currently tightly closed, like a dried-up riverbed.

The medicinal power turned into a torrent, and the blood qi and Devilish Qi became the driving force, frantically battering the barrier of that meridian.

Once, twice, three times—each impact loosened the barrier a bit more.

Moreover, the Meridians in his body were now shimmering with the power of the Five Elements!

Those were the Five Elements Meridians he had forged by cultivating the Five Elements Primordial Scripture, spread throughout his entire body.

Sensing a kindred aura, the powers of the Five Elements lit up one after another: the sharp gold, the vibrant green, the deep blue, the fiery red, and the heavy yellow. The five-colored light circulated, also providing a portion of power to accelerate the opening of the meridian!

The power of the Five Elements was gentle and persistent, complementing the violent nature of the blood devil qi to form a perfect cooperation!

Under the combined effect of multiple forces—

Qin Yan's second meridian was being opened at an extremely fast speed!

One inch, two inches, three inches...

The speed was far beyond that of ordinary people!

However...

Qin Yan looked inward at the state of his body and shook his head slightly.

"This blood qi is much weaker compared to the Devilish Qi."

Within the Meridians, the Devilish Qi was vigorous and surging, like a black mad Dragon, crashing through everything in its path.

The blood qi, however, was just a small clump huddled to the side, looking quite pitiful.

He would never lack Devilish Qi.

With Xiao Hei around, the Devilish Qi was continuous and inexhaustible.

But for blood qi, he had to Cultivate it himself or obtain it by devouring the blood of exotic beasts and enemies.

The former was too slow, and the latter was risky.

And now, he had just arrived in the Taixuan Realm and was unfamiliar with the place and people.

This Realm had many experts, numerous factions, and intricate networks of power.

It was better for him to be cautious.

"At the very least, I must become an Inner Court Disciple before venturing out!"

Qin Yan set a plan for himself in his heart.

Inner Court Disciples had status, position, and backing.

When he went out to gain experience then, it would be much safer.

For now, he should keep a low profile and develop.

...

When the second meridian in Qin Yan's body was half-opened, the medicinal power of the meridian opening pill was exhausted!

The warm medicinal power gradually weakened and finally disappeared completely.

Without the support of the medicinal power, the speed of opening the meridian immediately slowed down.

Seeing this, Qin Yan did not hesitate to take another meridian opening pill!

As the Medicinal Pill entered his stomach, a new surge of medicinal power gushed out, continuing to batter that meridian!

Medicinal power, blood qi, Devilish Qi, and the power of the Five Elements—the four forces converged again, frantically striking the remaining barrier!

Another half-quarter of an hour passed, just as the medicinal power of the meridian opening pill was about to be exhausted—

That meridian in Qin Yan's body was finally successfully opened at this moment!

The originally closed meridian was now completely open, like a wide riverbed waiting to be irrigated by power!

Qin Yan was overjoyed at the sight!

He immediately activated the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture, and blood qi and Devilish Qi instantly poured into this newly opened meridian!

The blood qi and Devilish Qi flowed slowly through the meridian, gradually nurturing it to make it tougher and wider!

The Meridian Opening Realm isn't just about simply opening the Meridians.

One must also use a Body Refining Cultivation Technique to nurture the meridian, allowing it to integrate with oneself.

Eventually, it can become a martial veins, a martial veins unique to oneself.

For instance, his martial veins could be called the blood demon martial veins.

Because it was cultivated through the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture, it contained the power of blood qi and Devilish Qi.

It is precisely because of the differences in martial veinss that different Body Refining Martial Artists, even at the same Realm, have vastly different vitality.

If someone Cultivates a powerful Cultivation Technique, their martial veins will be strong, and their vitality will be robust;

If someone Cultivates a weak Cultivation Technique, their martial veins will be weak, and their vitality will be thin.

This is the gap.

"I'll just let it nurture slowly like this for now."

Qin Yan withdrew his internal gaze and whispered to himself.

With the formidable power of his Body Refining Cultivation Technique, it would only take a few days to complete the nurturing.

The Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture is, after all, a Cultivation Technique that surpasses the top grade, and its power in the path of Body Refining is far beyond that of ordinary techniques.

Actually, there are also Medicinal Pills that can accelerate nurturing.

There is a type of Medicinal Pill on the market called the "Meridian Nurturing Pill," specifically used to accelerate meridian nurturing, and its effect is excellent.

But Qin Yan was very poor right now and couldn't afford it.

Fortunately, his Devilish Qi was formidable, and Xiao Hei was reliable.

With that little thing around, the Devilish Qi was continuous and inexhaustible.

Otherwise, just nurturing these few Meridians would take an unknown amount of time.

If it were an ordinary Body Refining Cultivation Technique without the support of Medicinal Pills, nurturing the Meridians alone would take a long time.

Months or even half a year would be common.

But for him, it only takes a few days.

This is the gap.

Immediately, Qin Yan took out another meridian opening pill and continued to temper the third meridian in his body.

One, two, three...

Time passed slowly.

By noon, Qin Yan had consumed all the meridian opening pills!

Eight meridian opening pills, not one left.

By now, he had opened three Meridians.

Adding the basic meridian opened when he promoted to the early stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, he had opened a total of four Meridians.

The difficulty of opening each meridian is different.

Especially the later Meridians, which require more resources to open.

The first one is the easiest, the second is slightly harder, and the third is even more difficult.

Following this trend, the subsequent Meridians will only require more and more resources.
