Xunuo pointed to a Porcelain Bottle on the table and said, "Inside this bottle is a spirit pill. Although it cannot open your Ren and Du Meridians, it can expand your Dantian to hold more Inner Strength. This will also enhance your Inner Strength. While it may not be as extraordinary as opening the Ren and Du Meridians, it still offers a glimpse into the path of martial arts. Moreover, expanding the Dantian to enhance Inner Strength is indeed the proper way to open the Ren and Du Meridians."
Liu Yunfei was overjoyed and quickly bowed in gratitude to Xunuo.
Xunuo smiled and said, "Liu Shixiong, do not rush to thank me just yet. This pill has a potent effect that reaches every limb and bone. The pain of expanding the Dantian is something most cannot endure. Are you willing to face this trial?"
Liu Yunfei was a natural martial enthusiast, solely pursuing the most profound sword techniques. He had no concern for hardship or suffering. Without hesitation, he replied, "Lu Shidi underestimates me; even if there is only a slight chance, I would not hesitate to risk my life."
Xunuo then shouted decisively, "Good! Since Liu Shixiong is so resolute, I will assist you in refining the pill's power."
Seeing such a favorable opportunity with this junior brother's help, Liu Yunfei felt confident that he could achieve twice the result with half the effort. He picked up the Porcelain Bottle from the table and sat down on the Meditation Cushion in front of Xunuo. He removed the cork, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Yunfei felt his Inner Strength surge slightly just from inhaling this fragrance. His confidence in the spirit pill grew immensely. He then tilted the Porcelain Bottle, revealing a green medicinal pill in his palm, which he promptly tossed into his mouth. In an instant, his body felt as if it were on fire, an unbearable heat radiating within him.
Under this scorching pain, Liu Yunfei's mind began to falter, threatening to plunge him into unconsciousness. At that moment, Xunuo reached out and pressed on Liu Yunfei's Dazhui point, saying, "Guide the medicinal power into your Dantian."
In the next moment, although Liu Yunfei's body still burned with heat, his mind remained clear. He immediately directed this boiling medicinal energy toward his Dantian.
The Inner Strength within his Dantian surged violently under this wave of heat, merging into one cohesive force in an instant. Soon after, the heat within his Dantian reached its limit while the scorching medicinal power continued to flow endlessly. Liu Yunfei felt as if his blood were about to boil. If this intense medicinal energy could not be released, he might very well be turned to ashes.
He heard Xunuo's voice beside him: "Continue to guide the medicinal power into your Dantian."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yunfei hurriedly pressed more of the medicinal energy toward his Dantian. The medicinal power within his Dantian was already a hundred times denser than outside; now squeezing even a little bit inside required tremendous effort. However, the burning sensation within compelled Liu Yunfei to draw in this searing energy into his Dantian.
After a moment, as the feeling of pressure in his Dantian combined with internal burning pain overwhelmed him even under Xunuo's support, Liu Yunfei felt he was reaching his limit; darkness began to cloud his vision.
Seeing this, Xunuo realized that Liu Yunfei had reached his breaking point and thought that he needed to lend some of his own strength.
He then transmitted a strand of True Qi into Liu Yunfei’s body, wrapping around both the medicinal power and Dantian before pushing them together toward the Dantian. This caused Liu Yunfei to feel as if his Dantian were tearing apart and his organs shifting positions. The pain made him tremble all over; sweat poured down like rain. Liu Yunfei felt that losing consciousness would be preferable to enduring such agony.
But under the protection of Xunuo, the clarity in my mind made Liu Yunfei have to bear the unbearable pain all the time. At this time, Xunuo shouted: "Introducing the power of medicine into Changqiang and Perineum." Liu Yunfei was shocked and knew that this was the starting point of Ren and Du Meridians. I spent two years working on these two acupoints, but I still found no improvement. Today Lu Shidi asked myself to hit these two acupuncture points at the same time, maybe there would be a miraculous effect. Liu YunfeiI know that this kind of opportunity will never come back. He endured the severe pain and poured the medicinal power into these two acupoints. Suddenly, under the attack of the scorching medicinal power, these two acupoints were somewhat loose and cracked. The hot flow of medicinal power poured in along this gap, and it kept churning and boiling inside. After a while, the two acupoints slowly expanded under the endless impact of the medicine, and there were signs of opening the acupoints. This medicinal power is somewhat similar to the Inner Strength practiced by Liu Yunfei, but it is several times thicker. Liu YunfeiAlthough I cannot give an accurate positioning. But he also knows that if it is his Inner Strength, he can cultivate to this level. Just relying on this rich InnerStrength can make you unique in the world. But relying on this pure Inner Strength to open the acupuncture points, the pain endured is also called Liu Yunfei and is excruciating. Liu Yunfei even believes that death is an acceptable option under such pain. Gradually, the burning medicinal power in his body seemed to dissipate a lot. Perhaps the heartbreaking pain caused by the three acupoints Dantian, Perineum, and Changqiang outweighed the discomfort caused by the burning current of the medicine. Xunuo always uses True Qi to protect Liu Yunfei’s mind and keep it in a state of clarity. After a meal like this, Xunuo withdrew his hand from Liu Yunfei's Dazhui. He said: You can slowly warm up and recover here, and you will know the results in ten days. After saying that, Xunuo stood up and left Thatched Cottage. When I came out, I saw Zhang Shoufeng standing outside Thatched Cottage and waiting for several senior brothers from Seven Star Sword Hall. Jing Lide I apologized to them with sweat on my face and begged a few people not to break in. Xunuo sees Zhang Shoufeng looked livid, and the other senior brothers also looked angry. First, he made a silent gesture and pulled several senior brothers away. After walking further, he said: "Senior brother Liu Yunfei has a chance and wants to stay in seclusion for ten days. I don't want to disturb him." It turned out that Zhang Shoufeng had been waiting in the Jing Lide room for a long time, and he I didn't see Xunuo coming to meet him, so he came to ask for help. Seeing Xunuo say this, his expression softened and he asked: "Could it be that Liu Shidi realized the swordsmanship of One Sword, Seven Flowers?" Xunuo chuckled and said, "I'm afraid it's even better." Zhang Shoufeng suddenly stopped and looked at Xunuo strangely. He said: "Is it possible to be able to One Sword, Eight Flowers, or realize the supreme swordsmanship of Sword Light Divergence?" Xunuo shook his head and said: "I don't know exactly how it will be, we will know in ten days. I'll just go back to Seven Star Sword Hall and wait for the news." Zhang Shoufeng shook his head like a rattle: "I must not come here to look for you, just don't call it Seven Star Sword Formation. Open. Now Wuhua Mountain is in chaos. If anything goes wrong in Seven Star Sword Formation, we must take advantage of it and cause disaster to Wuhua Sect." Xunuo noticed Zhang Shoufeng is so cautious. I plan to keep a low profile and keep quiet, so it’s hard for me to refute. He said: "Why don't I wait in Herb Valley for ten days, and I can also be Liu YunfeiSenior Brother Guardian."
Zhang Shoufeng glanced at the other disciples. After a moment of thought, they nodded in agreement.
Zhang Shoufeng could only say, "Then it shall be so." However, still filled with lingering anger, he turned to Xunuo and said, "You left the Seven Star Sword Hall without even saying a word to your senior brothers. You’ve really become too careless. After this matter is settled, you will be punished at Broken Heart Cliff, facing the wall for half a year."
Xunuo understood that Zhang Shoufeng and the others were worried about him. He sighed and said, "I was also feeling troubled and wanted to come here to clear my mind. I apologize for making my senior brothers worry."
Although Zhang Shoufeng was still upset, he realized it wasn't the time to lose his temper. After scolding Xunuo a couple more times, he led the others to settle down in Jing Lide's courtyard.
Two days later, Tian Feiyu descended to Herb Valley.
Upon hearing from Nangong Wan that the disciples forming the Seven Star Sword Formation had all gone to Herb Valley, he immediately thought it was trouble caused by Xunuo. After inquiring further and learning that there was no major issue, he finally relaxed.
Though still somewhat worried, there were too many trivial matters to attend to, so it took him two days before he could find time to investigate Herb Valley. He saw several disciples venting their frustrations, mostly directing their ire at Zhang Shoufeng.
It was then that he realized Liu Yunfei was absent. When he asked, Xunuo quickly informed Tian Feiyu that Liu Yunfei was expected to make significant progress in the near future. Naturally, Tian Feiyu was both surprised and delighted, and he let the disciples off the hook. He returned to report the good news to Ximen Tower.
Upon receiving this wonderful news, Ximen Tower was naturally overjoyed and came over the next day. After listening to Xunuo's report, he still felt somewhat uneasy. He personally went to Thatched Cottage to peek through the window before leaving with renewed confidence.
Xunuo and the others spent each day in Jing Lide's courtyard, dissecting sword techniques while waiting for Liu Yunfei's return. Life continued as usual.
