American Comics: BOSS Invasion

The true energy cultivated through breathing techniques can be preserved within the body, but to use it more effectively, one must selectively strengthen various acupoints.

The author of the book regards the 108 acupoints throughout the body as 108 pools of water, and the true energy as a small stream constantly washing over these pools.

If one wants to strengthen a certain aspect of their abilities in a targeted manner, they must expand the capacity of a specific pool. The so-called true energy is just a wisp of water evenly distributed from all 108 pools, then condensed to form a small stream.

When this torrent rushes into one acupoint in one go, the acupoint will be opened.

It's like digging open a spring, which will cause a larger flow of water to gush out, washing and expanding the small pool.

This, in turn, can create more streams.

Qi Shan had seen this kind of practice method in a martial arts novel before, something called the Nine Revolutions Undying Body, he doesn't remember the name anymore, but it was also about strengthening the acupoints around the body, thereby strengthening the whole body.

But the two old Taoists completely misunderstood the relationship of subordination. They drew energy from the acupoints of the whole body, always trying to expand the water flow, but not expanding the acupoints.

If one does not have a naturally Daoist body, then the person's body will leak air everywhere.

Every time the true energy circulates, it will correspondingly dissipate a portion. In order to maintain the continuous operation of true energy and ensure a certain amount, a portion of the water must be drawn out every once in a while.

This leads to the acupoints always being in a closed state, never having been developed.

After Qi Shan understood the matter of the cultivation method, he was also very speechless.

The two old Taoists were lucky enough to obtain the cultivation method, but they completely reversed the cultivation. In fact, it's not surprising, they were originally from poor backgrounds, barely able to recognize ordinary characters, let alone ancient texts from 1200 years ago, and from another country.

They have devoted themselves to research for so many years, and being able to barely cultivate this part of the text is already of great significance. Perhaps it is because of wealth and luxury, fine clothes and jade food, like a carrot dangling in front, that the two old Taoists have been able to persevere.

After understanding the principle and the process of cultivation, Qi Shan naturally began to cultivate.

His body is special. Every time external energy touches his skin, it will be quickly converted into his own energy. Previously, it was stored in the body, but now it is all integrated into the small house, serving as energy to expand the Resident Evil world.

He even suspects that his body attribute is an energy converter, and any kind of energy that touches him will be converted into his own energy.

In this way, Qi Shan cannot learn any external force-based cultivation methods.

Like Iron Shirt and other hard skills, which require constantly being hit to become stronger, continuously transforming and upgrading the skin, muscles, and bones, although Qi Shan doesn't need defensive skills, wanting to cultivate Iron Shirt is also wishful thinking.

And cultivating true cultivation methods like absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is even more futile.

Even if the so-called spiritual energy of heaven and earth enters Qi Shan's body, it will be converted into energy in minutes.

On the contrary, using the acupoints to exercise the body and cultivate unique techniques, like breathing techniques, is more suitable for Qi Shan.

No sooner said than done.

Qi Shan didn't prepare much. He just sat cross-legged in the hall, and with a slight thought, a strand of golden energy as thin as hair slowly extended from the small house.

The energy tentatively wandered around the 108 acupoints marked on the book, carefully probing and judging.

First, he needed to figure out the characteristics of his body.

Fortunately, although they are from different worlds, the internal structure of the human body is generally the same.

After stimulating the acupoints with golden energy, he could indeed feel that there seemed to be a layer of window paper pierced in the acupoints, with surging energy below.

It's just that as soon as this energy appears, it will be quickly absorbed by the body completely, just like a pool of stagnant blood being broken up and then reabsorbed by the cells.

As for what the cultivation method describes, using energy to open up the acupoints, which can induce the internal stored energy to make incredible movements.

Qi Shan didn't feel it at all.

After cultivating this method, Qi Shan applied the energy from the 108 acupoints in his body, which was then reabsorbed by his body, and although his body length increased to a certain extent.

But those special effects described in the god-level cultivation methods, Qi Shan couldn't do any of them here.

The days passed day by day, and Qi Shan, the emperor, was quite carefree.

These days, through the organization of memories and the investigation of surrounding events, he has generally understood the current situation of the Great Qi Dynasty.

The Great Qi Dynasty is still vast and outwardly strong, but in reality, the ministers in the court all know that the current Great Qi Dynasty has reached the moment when the building is about to collapse.

The moths have already hollowed out the entire Great Qi from top to bottom, and it is almost impossible to recover.

Even if the emperor and his ministers are of one mind and have the idea of reversing the tide, it is not so easy.

Moreover, the court is now full of factions, and they are only concerned with attacking each other, fighting for power and profit, occupying more territory, and vainly trying to leave a name in history and become a virtuous minister of a generation.

They simply don't care about Qi Shan, the emperor.

Moreover, since hundreds of years ago, the cabinet's power has controlled the entire national government. Although the emperor is important, he is not that important. For example, Qi Shan, the emperor, has not attended court for nearly half a year, and the ministers are still leisurely, submitting two memorials when they have nothing to do, advising the emperor to be diligent in government, and no one takes it seriously.

Originally, such days were still peaceful, and Qi Shan, if not liking them, was happy to see them happen.

At least now, Qi Shan can ask people to find some ancient materials to read during his free time every day.

He hasn't found what he's looking for, but he has found a lot of various acrobatics and ghost stories.

This dynasty is indeed one where literature is flourishing and martial arts are declining. The various literary creations are so imaginative and strange that Qi Shan feels like his eyes have been opened.

Just when Qi Shan thought that such peaceful days would continue until he found clues to cultivation, an accident quietly descended.

Li Da Ban walked quickly to Qi Shan's side with a bit of trembling, and handed over a golden memorial. Qi Shan glanced at it strangely and reached out to take it.

He opened it and couldn't help but be surprised.
