Dragon's Origin

Watching Wang Sheng swallow the Qi Condensation Powder for a good while, the old eunuch sat without moving. After about half an hour, the old eunuch seemed to have figured something out and slowly opened his mouth.

"Boy, it's your good fortune if you can hear something after taking the Qi Condensation Powder to expand your meridians and condense Qi. Don't blame me, old man, for not giving you guidance if you don't hear anything." The old eunuch's voice had lost much of its previous yin energy and gained a lot of sincerity.

Wang Sheng remained in a comfortable semi-reclined position, motionless, not knowing if he had heard the old eunuch's words. The young eunuch, Sister Rose, the maid, and the cook had long been banished from the outer courtyard. No one could hear what the old eunuch didn't want others to hear.

"I can see that you've killed countless people. It is said that Dai Wuji also died at your hands." The old eunuch sat on the stone table, not even looking at Wang Sheng, as if he were talking to a nonexistent person across the table: "You have enough killing intent, but you still lack a kind of momentum."

"The aura on your body is very chaotic right now. There's an indomitable killing aura, a righteous and peaceful scholarly aura, a mysterious Dao aura, and several others that this old one can't even discern." The old eunuch had already opened a jar of fine wine and started pouring and drinking it himself: "However, in cultivation, the most taboo thing is trying to swallow more than you can chew. Dabbling in everything means mastering nothing. That's a major taboo in cultivation!"

"It's not that you shouldn't learn so many things, but that you haven't yet determined which one you should focus on." The old eunuch slowly drank his wine, speaking to the nonexistent person: "Only by establishing your main momentum, with others as secondary, can you achieve a balance of ruler, minister, assistant, and envoy, allowing your cultivation to reach new heights. Just thinking about practicing those combat skills will only make you a pawn crossing the river until you die."

"You're a smart person, and smart people should have smart ideas and methods. It all depends on whether you can grasp it." The old eunuch continued to speak softly, as if talking was a way to enjoy his wine: "You asked this old one for guidance, and I've said it to your face. I haven't blocked the sound, but whether you can hear it and understand it is not just my business."

"I've already done what I promised you. Don't let the things you promised the royal family go wrong in the slightest." The old eunuch held his wine cup to his lips, finally glancing at Wang Sheng: "Otherwise, this old one will personally kill you."

After saying these words, the old eunuch drained the wine in his hand. Then he slowly began to pour and drink again, but he didn't say another word.

Wang Sheng lay there half-reclined, still motionless, refining the medicinal power of the Qi Condensation Powder. Even the old eunuch didn't know if Wang Sheng had heard these words.

In the Yuan Soul space, Wang Sheng was feeling the medicinal power of the Qi Condensation Powder. As expected of the Qi Condensation Powder, it could expand the acupoints. As soon as the medicinal Qi entered his abdomen, it transformed into a pure stream of spiritual Qi, heading straight for Wang Sheng's Yuan Soul space. After circulating in the Yuan Soul space, this stream of spiritual Qi began to disperse towards the various acupoints.

Each of the sixteen acupoints received a powerful stream of spiritual Qi. As soon as this spiritual Qi came into contact with the acupoints, it seemed to transform into a strong current of water, forcefully trying to squeeze into the acupoints, wanting to expand them.

The acupoint was like a spout, and the medicinal Qi was like a gushing spring. If the pressure of the spring was great enough and the flow rate fast enough, it would wash away the surrounding area of the spout, slowly expanding it. The Qi Condensation Powder worked on this principle, using massive and pure spiritual Qi to forcibly open the edges of the acupoints, achieving the purpose of expanding them.

Wang Sheng understood the principle of the Qi Condensation Powder in less than ten minutes, and then began to shake his head. Of course, it was his consciousness shaking his head in the Yuan Soul space, not in reality.

Although this method could eventually achieve the purpose of expanding the acupoints, how inefficient was it? If you really wanted to expand the acupoints, wouldn't it be more efficient to turn this strong current of water into a strong vortex to scour them?

Now Wang Sheng's acupoints had Yin-Yang Qi spirals. He only needed to slightly change the way the medicinal power rushed into the acupoints. However, the medicinal power was very strong and fierce, and even if Wang Sheng wanted to, he could only guide it slowly.

Fortunately, the spiritual Qi in the acupoints was constantly rotating slowly, so Wang Sheng only needed to control the spiritual Qi to keep rotating. Seeing that the medicinal power rushing into the acupoints was also being guided by the spiritual Qi and slowly generating vortices, Wang Sheng knew that it was not far from rapidly expanding the acupoints.

Vortex-shaped eddies were far more effective at expanding acupoints than direct scouring, using less medicinal Qi but with better results. Watching the acupoints get bigger and bigger, being opened up little by little, Wang Sheng felt unspeakable joy in his heart.

As for the slight pain caused by the acupoints being opened, Wang Sheng didn't care at all. It was much lighter than crawling and rolling during training, so there was no need to care.

The surging medicinal power was still constantly coming in. The Qi Condensation Powder not only expanded the acupoints but also compressed the spiritual Qi, making his own spiritual Qi more pure. The principle was that the massive medicinal Qi transformed into pure spiritual Qi, driving all the spiritual Qi in the body to completely fuse with this pure spiritual Qi for a period of time, making the whole body full of this level of pure spiritual Qi. Naturally, impure external spiritual Qi could not enter the body.

If external spiritual Qi wanted to integrate, it could only forcibly condense the external spiritual Qi to about the same level of purity as the internal spiritual Qi through the acupoints.

Wang Sheng had studied physics on Earth. In the case of semi-permeable membrane isolation, it was very simple for a high-concentration solution to reach a low-concentration solution, but conversely, it was not an easy thing for a low-concentration solution to penetrate a high-concentration solution. Energy must be involved.

Using it in spiritual Qi compression and purification was actually the same principle. When cultivating, energy was consumed to compress and purify the spiritual Qi, making it pure, from low concentration to high concentration. When using it, it was the other way around, from high concentration to low concentration.

Understanding this principle made spiritual Qi compression and purification much simpler, but it also took more effort than normal cultivation. In fact, it was not until this moment that Wang Sheng truly understood the mysteries of cultivation.

The next thing could be described as a matter of course. The acupoints became larger and larger under the scouring of the vortex, and the spiritual Qi became more and more pure under this forced purification. When Wang Sheng sensed all this in the Yuan Soul space, it was already three hours later.

However, this was only when the medicinal effect had just passed and the medicinal power was completely used up. At this time, he could not stop. According to the previous instructions of Sister Rose and the old eunuch, after the medicinal power was completely exhausted, he had to control the newly purified spiritual Qi in his body and persist for a few more hours according to the previous process to turn this change into a cultivation instinct before it could be considered complete.
