Dragon's Origin

“Old Daoist, when one’s cultivation is crippled, how do the acupoints change?” Wang Sheng asked Ling Xu Old Daoist when they were alone.

“When cultivation drops to a certain level, the number of acupoints will naturally decrease to the number corresponding to that level,” Ling Xu Old Daoist replied without hesitation.

“What about the Yuan Soul?” Wang Sheng asked immediately after.

“The change in the Yuan Soul might be more painful.” Ling Xu Old Daoist sighed, “The Yuan Soul won’t suddenly revert to the state of a lower realm, but it will slowly revert to its original lower realm state over a period of time. This process might be extremely painful for you, after all, the Yuan Soul space is related to your consciousness.”

“Have you experienced it before? How do you know so much about it?” Wang Sheng was very curious and couldn’t help but ask Ling Xu Old Daoist.

“Experienced it once, dropped a major realm.” Ling Xu Old Daoist nodded naturally, “Cultivation is about experiencing situations that others haven’t, so you can be better than them, right?”

“Is that why you don’t object to me doing this?” Wang Sheng laughed. He and Ling Xu Old Daoist were practically frank with each other, and there was no need to worry about anything even when talking about such things.

“Of course, it’s not bad for you.” Ling Xu Old Daoist nodded again, “I don’t know why, but your previous cultivation felt like the foundation wasn’t solid enough, and your spiritual energy cultivation was actually quite poor. That kind of realm achieved through crooked ways is not stable, and there will be big hidden dangers in the future. If you can take this opportunity to rebuild the foundation, it will be a good thing for you.”

What the old Daoist said made a lot of sense, and Wang Sheng himself knew his problems. The previous Yuan Soul upgrades were all about various kinds of delicacies, calligraphy, or music, and there was not a single instance of properly absorbing spiritual energy and naturally upgrading.

This also led to Wang Sheng's spiritual energy cultivation being terribly low before the seventh realm. It was certainly related to Wang Sheng's fewer acupoints, but ultimately, the foundation was insufficient, which was an undeniable fact.

Ling Xu Old Daoist could see Wang Sheng's drawbacks, so he didn't stop Wang Sheng's behavior of saving Sister Qiangwei, also for Wang Sheng's sake. To the old Daoist, what did it matter if Wang Sheng delayed for a few years? Trading a few years for a future of hundreds of years was definitely worth it.

“Old Daoist, aren’t you the most disgusted with people like me who are now living in extravagance and dissipation?” Wang Sheng knew that the old Daoist was doing it for his own good, and he felt very warm in his heart, but he couldn’t help but be curious: “You know that doing this will gain a large group of beauties’ loyalty, and life will be even more extravagant in the future, how can you bear it? You used to be unhappy with Grand Master and the others, and you left the monastery directly.”

“Remember the first time you and I met?” The old Daoist laughed, as if thinking of the scene in that small mountain village outside the capital.

“Of course!” Wang Sheng replied quickly.

“At that time, you told Old Lu’s little apprentice that I was a hermit, and later said that you were originally a layman who liked fertile fields, mansions, and beautiful concubines.” Ling Xu Old Daoist smiled and repeated Wang Sheng’s words at the time: “From that time on, I knew that you were not a person of the Dao.”

“Then you still made friends with me?” Wang Sheng asked a little puzzled.

“I’m making friends, not looking for Dao companions.” Ling Xu Old Daoist’s words left Wang Sheng speechless.

“Then you still introduced me to the Daoist sect and accepted me as a disciple on behalf of your master? Aren’t you afraid that I will corrupt these young people in the Daoist sect?” Wang Sheng asked with wide eyes.

“So, I just accepted a secular disciple on behalf of my master, and didn’t let you enter the Daoist sect, not even a Daoist name.” Ling Xu Old Daoist said with a look of disdain: “It’s just that you are to my liking, stronger than those people.”

“Looking at my current situation, what realm have I dropped to?” Wang Sheng was speechless, changed the subject and asked again, wanting to confirm whether his changes were correct.

“Should still be in this realm.” Ling Xu Old Daoist had keen eyes, and saw through Wang Sheng’s cultivation at a glance: “It will take many more times for your realm to gradually decrease. But it’s also a good thing, haven’t you seen all the Old Lord Temple’s cultivation methods? Take this opportunity to cultivate from the most basic Daoist cultivation methods, and cultivate all the way up again, I guarantee you won’t have to worry about a shaky foundation in the future.”

Wang Sheng nodded, and kept Ling Xu Old Daoist's words in his heart. He did intend to take this opportunity to cultivate again.

It took Wang Sheng a whole day to cultivate four times before he could restore the spiritual energy in his acupoints to the limit he could currently reach. Then, he once again helped Sister Qiangwei with treatment.

It must be said that as a disciple of the Hidden Hall of the Triumph Palace, and the personal disciple of the Hall Master of the Hidden Hall of the Triumph Palace, Sister Qiangwei is definitely very good at serving people. There was no chance before, but now facing Wang Sheng, who is willing to sacrifice his cultivation to save her, and who is also the man she has identified for this lifetime, Sister Qiangwei can be said to have used all her skills to please Wang Sheng.

Originally, it was the best age for a woman to be radiant, ripe but not fully ripe, and under deliberate flattery, Wang Sheng felt as comfortable as if he had gone to heaven. Compared with the first time, it can be said to be worlds apart.

Until this moment, Wang Sheng truly ate Sister Qiangwei, this delicious and juicy ripe fruit, into his mouth, every taste bud cheered and rejoiced, enjoying the most mellow taste.

Still as tired as before, Wang Sheng still endured the fatigue and asked Sister Qiangwei again, and after knowing that her feeling had improved again, Wang Sheng once again entered a deep sleep.

For the next few days, life was like this. Nourishment, cultivation, rest, and helping Sister Qiangwei with treatment after regaining his energy. After a few days, Sister Qiangwei's own feeling had improved a lot.

Ling Xu Old Daoist would carefully check Wang Sheng every time afterward. Wang Sheng's cultivation was decreasing each time, and after three times, it had dropped to the bottom line of the seventh realm. According to Ling Xu Old Daoist's speculation, Wang Sheng would drop to the sixth realm after the next time.

Waiting for another bout of pleasure with Sister Qiangwei, and once again performing the Qiankun Reversal and falling into a slumber and waking up, Wang Sheng subconsciously checked his physical condition, wanting to see the changes in his acupoints and Yuan Soul after his cultivation realm decreased. However, when Wang Sheng's consciousness was immersed in the Yuan Soul space, he couldn't help but be stunned.

In the Yuan Soul space, except that the smoke in the pool had turned white, there were no other changes. The old Daoist also said that Yuan Soul degradation takes a period of time, but Wang Sheng did not feel any pain.

What surprised Wang Sheng even more was that Wang Sheng's number of acupoints was still one hundred and twenty-eight, not reduced at all. What's going on?
