Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 248 - 72: True Blood Refining Acupoints, Panel Iteration Again_3

Chapter 248: Chapter 72: True Blood Refining Acupoints, Panel Iteration Again_3

"I see!"

Lin Chen’s eyes gleamed with understanding. No wonder Lord Su didn’t oppose his frequent interactions with the Martial Arts Garden; it was an organization independent of any particular faction.

"Senior Yan, if one joins the Martial Arts Garden, are there any other requirements?"

Yan He’an smiled slightly. He knew what Lin Chen was concerned about and explained, "The Martial Arts Garden never compels any member to perform any task. Tasks are released in the form of missions, and members who accept these missions can earn contribution points as a reward. Whether to accept a task or not is up to the member themselves; the Martial Arts Garden never forces anyone."

"I am willing to join the Martial Arts Garden."

This Senior Yan had made it so clear that Lin Chen couldn’t think of any reason to refuse.

Joining the Martial Arts Garden could only benefit him and bring no harm.

"Once you understand the Martial Arts Garden, you’ll realize what today’s decision means to you."

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s agreement, Yan He’an patted Lin Chen’s shoulder meaningfully, "Joining the Martial Arts Garden requires approval from the elders, but Elder Zhao has already agreed, so this is just a formality."

"Senior Yan, can I use those one hundred contribution points now?"

"You want to use them now?"

Yan He’an didn’t expect Lin Chen to be so impatient. Although by the rules Lin Chen hadn’t formally registered yet, technically he wasn’t qualified. However, since Elder Zhao at Poyang County’s Martial Arts Garden had spoken, Elder Zhao wouldn’t oppose it, so a little rule bending didn’t amount to much.

"You probably don’t know what contribution points can be exchanged for. What do you want to exchange them for?"

"I’d like to exchange them for martial insights regarding the Opening Acupoints Realm, particularly in the aspect of qi blood."

Lin Chen made the request, which although spontaneous, was something he’d carefully considered in his mind.

According to this Senior Yan, the Martial Arts Garden is an organization of martial artists pursuing the peak of the Martial Path. Its research in this area must have unique aspects. After all, the Martial Arts Garden is a transnational superpower, absorbing the essence of the Martial Path from various countries.

"Regarding martial insights on qi blood in the Opening Acupoints Realm, the Martial Arts Garden’s Library Pavilion does have a volume, but..."

Yan He’an’s ear twitched slightly: "One hundred contribution points are just enough. I’ll fetch it for you."

"Thank you, senior."

...

...

Yan He’an left the courtyard and immediately went to another yard. Seeing Zhao Qianqiu dressed in red, he promptly said, "Elder, you’re back."

"Go fetch that notebook for Lin Chen."

"Elder, the contribution points required for that manual are five hundred, but Lin Chen..."

Yan He’an wanted to say this to Lin Chen earlier, but as he began, Elder Zhao’s voice whispered in his ear, changing his approach.

"This difference will be covered by me, the elder."

Zhao Qianqiu rubbed her temples, noticing Yan He’an’s inner confusion but offered no explanation.

She wouldn’t tell Yan He’an, the reason for facilitating Lin Chen was due to her almost clashing with that old fellow Jiang Zhikai from Hongdu Prefecture.

Since Jiang Zhikai favored Li Zhe, she would then place her bet on Lin Chen.

"You contend with Li Zhe, and I contend with that old fellow," Zhao Qianqiu murmured softly. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

...

...

"Young Master Lin, sorry to keep you waiting."

After a brief moment, Yan He’an reappeared in Lin Chen’s courtyard holding a book.

"This booklet cannot be taken out of the Martial Arts Garden, and Young Master Lin must ensure not to disclose its contents to outsiders. Otherwise, if the Martial Arts Garden discovers it, your membership will be revoked."

"I will remember that."

Lin Chen could understand the reason the Martial Arts Garden imposed such restrictions.

It’s one of the key attractions for talented disciples. If the Garden’s Library could be easily leaked, its allure would greatly diminish.

"If that’s the case, I won’t disturb you further, Young Master Lin. Regarding other rules of the Martial Arts Garden, once you finish your special training and return to the Garden, I’ll explain them in detail."

Yan He’an left with a smile, while Lin Chen immediately began to peruse the booklet in his hand without delay.

Essentials of True Blood Refining Acupoints

[Qi blood, the bearer of life force.]

[Blood is the boat, qi the sail.]

[Blood: stores itself in twenty-four acupoints like rivers and reservoirs.]

[Qi: traverses meridians like a hurricane propelling a boat.]

[Opening the acupoints speaks of blood, refining the viscera speaks of qi.]

[The increase of a person’s qi blood, whether by consuming demon flesh or precious medicines, enhances void blood, while breakthrough in acupoints turns this increase into true blood.]

[Void blood is easy to supplement, true blood is hard to increase.]

[After thirty years and nurturing hundreds of disciples in the Opening Acupoints Realm, I concluded that void blood is the foundation of true blood, and acupoints serve as the furnace to refine void blood into true blood, thus I wrote this book and named it Essentials of True Blood Refining Acupoints.]

...

In the courtyard, Lin Chen’s eyes twinkled. The senior’s notes on qi blood, especially in terms of blood, were profoundly insightful, giving him an enlightening realization.

Many ambiguities from the past became clear after reading this book.

"Void blood is the foundation of true blood. When a martial artist strives to open acupoints, each acupoint acts like a furnace, refining void blood into true blood. The more acupoints opened, the more void blood can be transformed into true blood."

"Moreover, the amount of void blood also affects the quantity of true blood an acupoint can refine. Currently, my qi blood value is close to five hundred thousand. The true blood refined through opening acupoints will naturally be far greater than those whose qi blood value is around two hundred thousand."

"As for qi, according to the senior’s words, it’s fundamental to the speed of qi blood’s circulation. The breathing technique in the Grade-Entering Technique is essentially a Qi-running technique."

"True blood essentially resides in the twenty-four acupoints, whereas the void blood resides in the seventy-two minor acupoints associated with them. As qi is located in the dantian, qi facilitates the circulation of blood, thus requiring passage through the dantian."
