Super Divine Daoist Skill-Chapter 178 - 177: Third-class Expert (Please Subscribe)

"Among the twelve meridians, there are four types: Hand Taiyin Meridian, Hand Taiyang Meridian, Spleen Meridian of Foot, and Three Yin Meridians of the Foot, corresponding to the martial artist’s arms and legs.

Once these are connected, the corresponding arms and legs will undoubtedly experience a significant increase in strength.

For instance, if the three meridians of the Hand Taiyin Meridian are opened, then the strength of my left hand will soar, and when inner strength flows into it, there won’t be much consumption, allowing the full power of the inner strength to be unleashed.

The same applies to opening the Spleen Meridian of Foot.

Having all twelve meridians connected will let the arms and legs exert formidable power, and even withstand martial artists’ weapons with bare hands. Techniques like palm and fist methods will subsequently become extremely effective."

In Bai Ziyue’s mind, descriptions of third-class experts appeared, and it became easy to discern the differences between a third-class expert and an ordinary Inner Power Realm practitioner.

"I originally thought my soul energy quantity was enough to elevate my Martial Arts Realm to the second-class level, but now it seems I’m still a bit short.

However, with sixty thousand soul energy points, I can open up as many as six meridians, which will drastically change my strength, making it quite remarkable.

*But which meridian should I choose to enhance then?*"

Looking at his remaining soul energy points, Bai Ziyue pondered deeply.

"In terms of martial arts, my strength lies entirely in my hands; whether it’s the Overlord Saber Technique or Celestial Entwining Hand, they need my hands to unleash their power.

Naturally, I should enhance the meridians in my hands to maximize their power."

Soon, Bai Ziyue made a decision.

"Spend 10,000 soul energy to open the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian in the Purple Mansion Creation Technique Twelve Main Meridians Chapter."

"Spend 10,000 soul energy to open the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian in the Purple Mansion Creation Technique Twelve Main Meridians Chapter."

"Spend 10,000 soul energy to open the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian in the Purple Mansion Creation Technique Twelve Main Meridians Chapter."

"Open!"

"Open!"

"Open!"

"Spend 30,000 soul energy to open three meridians in the Hand Taiyang Meridian in the Purple Mansion Creation Technique Twelve Main Meridians Chapter."

"Open!"

Bai Ziyue’s expression remained unchanged, as he instantly chose to enhance all six meridians in the Hand Taiyin and Hand Taiyang Meridians.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Instantly, the inner strength within Bai Ziyue became surging like a sharp sword, quickly rushing into the corresponding meridians, breaking through them almost in the blink of an eye.

Like having gone through countless operations, these newly opened meridians rapidly expanded, becoming wide and resilient, akin to sturdy roads that no amount of surging inner strength could break through.

As the meridians expanded, Bai Ziyue’s inner strength also grew quickly, flowing through the meridians like rolling rivers.

"With the Hand Taiyin and Hand Taiyang Meridians opened and strengthened, my hands... my strength has at least more than doubled compared to before.

*I must remember that my original strength was already significant*."

Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but extend his hands, and with a thought, a surge of inner strength burst forth.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

A faint purple inner strength shot out, sharp as a sword, extending at least an inch before gradually dissipating.

"Is this the inner strength cultivated by the Purple Mansion Creation Technique? Indeed, it is much more powerful than ordinary Inner Power Heart Method cultivation."

Bai Ziyue had felt the inner strength of both Liu Dong and Nie Yunhao before, and in comparison, he could clearly see the refinement level of his inner strength far surpassed theirs.

Moreover, the inner strength cultivated through the Purple Mansion Creation Technique also had certain restorative effects, allowing even injuries to recover to some extent through Purple Mansion inner strength.

Even the recovery speed after inner strength depletion was much faster than that of ordinary Inner Power Heart Methods, truly living up to being a top-tier Inner Power Heart Method.

Only at this point did Bai Ziyue shift his gaze to the attribute panel.

"My soul energy is down to just over a hundred points; I need to replenish it soon.

However, in return, I have truly become a third-class expert, and even my meridians are opened to six.

My strength has greatly improved, far surpassing that white-clothed swordsman, Chen Qingyun."

Bai Ziyue still remembered the words spoken at the bow of the ship when he first entered Wujiang County.

A son should be like Chen Qingyun!

*Even though he didn’t care much for such praise, he couldn’t help but set Chen Qingyun as a target.*

*A target to surpass.*

*Now, having entered Wujiang County for less than a month, he had already stepped into the ranks of third-class experts.* In terms of true strength and realm, he surpassed Chen Qingyun, who had just broken through to become a third-class expert and connected one or two meridians. *This feeling really stirred his emotions.*

"Not only did I surpass Chen Qingyun, but with my Martial Arts Realm and the Perfect Overlord Saber Technique, I might not be invincible against third-class experts, but I’m not too far off either,

even when truly facing second-class experts, I can still hold my ground."

Bai Ziyue’s eyes involuntarily revealed a hint of confidence.

...

The next day, Bai Ziyue, dressed in a sturdy outfit, holding a knife sheath, with a beast hide bag obtained from Daoist Wutong at his waist, strode straight out the door.

This time, he was heading out to participate in the Immortal Technique Gathering organized by the independent cultivator elder, Elder Wu, within Wujiang County.

He had been preparing for this for quite some time.

So, even though his face was calm, he couldn’t help but feel a bit excited and nervous inside.

Once out of the room, Bai Ziyue walked straight, then crossed two streets, and soon stood in a small pavilion.

After a while, he saw a figure approaching leisurely from afar.

This figure, clad in a black robe, had two streaks of white mustache on his lips, but his face was rosy. *It was the Elder Scholar’s senior apprentice brother, Xie Gucang.*

"Elder Xie!"

Bai Ziyue quickly greeted.

"Mm, let’s go. This gathering is arranged at the Golden Elegance Pavilion."

Xie Gucang nodded slightly and walked ahead.

The Golden Elegance Pavilion!

It was one of the four major businesses in Wujiang County, extremely renowned throughout the county. Not only was it located on the most prosperous street of the entire Wujiang County, but it also occupied a vast area. Its operations spanned over a hundred meters, all belonging to the Golden Elegance Pavilion.

With its exquisite and massive signboard and resplendent decorations, upon entering, one was immediately greeted with a unique fragrance, refreshing one’s heart and spirit.

"Calm Spirit Incense?"

Bai Ziyue tentatively asked Xie Gucang.

"It’s not truly Calm Spirit Dharma Incense, just something with characteristics of Dharma Incense, much simpler to make and not expensive,

this is merely one of our General Temple’s businesses. Without this to uphold it, the incense popularity of General Temple would have gone down long ago."

Xie Gucang said lightly, his figure turning as he directly stepped onto the second floor.

Bai Ziyue knew well that General Temple’s business was not as simple as he claimed.

Not to mention the wide-ranging Golden Elegance Pavilion, even the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, one of the three major restaurants, also used incense with Dharma characteristics.

Just these two suppliers would be enough for the General Temple to thrive.

Not to mention the real profits came from various miraculous Dharma Incenses like Calm Spirit Incense and Gathering Spirit Incense.

"However, it seems the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion and this Golden Elegance Pavilion both have intricate connections with Immortal Cultivators."

Bai Ziyue thought silently as he followed Xie Gucang to the second floor.

The second floor also belonged to Golden Elegance Pavilion’s commercial area, but it dealt in high-priced items, mostly gold jewelry, jade, and agate. Those who could wander here were people of considerable stature.

Without stopping on the second floor, Bai Ziyue followed Xie Gucang and soon arrived at the staircase leading to the third floor.

But there, two solemn-looking men stationed, making it clear for strangers to keep out.

By these two guards stood an elderly man looking like a housekeeper.

Seeing Xie Gucang, the housekeeper quickly stepped forward to greet, "Master Xie, you’ve arrived. The master and several Immortal Masters are already upstairs having tea. It’s the top-grade Golden Orange Spirit Leaf Tea that my master treasures. He’s brought it out just for today’s guests."

"Oh? Old Zhou is usually stingy. Today, he’s generous enough to offer this Spirit Tea for guests; I’ve got to taste it."

Xie Gucang’s eyes lit up as he nodded with a radiant smile, saying.

"By the way, has Lord Li arrived?"

Then Xie Gucang casually asked.

*Bai Ziyue’s heart skipped a beat, knowing he was asking for his sake, and felt a wave of gratitude.*

Li Xun was crucial to his exchange for the lower volume of the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique this time.

"He’s been here since early morning."

The housekeeper quickly replied, discreetly observing Bai Ziyue.

Seeing his martial artist attire, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but since it involved Immortal Masters, he dared not inquire further.

Bai Ziyue let out a sigh of relief, nodded towards the housekeeper, and said, "Thank you!"

*This gratitude was chaotically directed, leaving the housekeeper to nod in confusion.*

On the third floor, a tall and slender woman in purple attire led them to a spacious room.

Looking around, he saw seven or eight people, scattered about, each sitting on a chair, finely sipping tea.

Among them was none other than Chief Clerk Li, Li Xun, whom Bai Ziyue had once met.
