Chapter 278: Successfully Refining Acupoints and Cultivating the Heavenly Fire Gang

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

Refining an acupoint was a technical task that required meticulousness.

Even if Green Spirit had imparted the method to Junior Leopard for refining acupoints, Junior Leopard could not really understand the difficulty until he did it himself.

He was going to use Internal Qi to scour and expand his tendons and meridians little by little so that he could create another Dantian at that particular point. Thanks to his excellent Inner Vision, Junior Leopard could just barely continue the work. Otherwise, he might have died because of bursting tendons and meridians.

This was not a joke. Generally, even if tendons and meridians got injured, people like Junior Leopard, who had practiced into this phase, could repair them by themselves. But at present, he gathered almost three-quarters of his Internal Qi into the new acupoint in order to expand the tendons and meridians there, so that it could transform into an acupoint. If he relaxed for a while, or an accident happened, the gathered Internal Qi would burst the tendons and meridians. Under the impact force, his body would become a bloody fog and minced meat at the same time, leaving him no chance to recover.

That was why Junior Leopard said that it was dangerous. Its requirements were, quite simply, carefulness and cautiousness.

Gradually, Junior Leopard controlled his Internal Qi and tried to circulate it inside those tendons and meridians. He had tried several times before, but had never succeeded. If ordinary circulation could not be operated at that point, it could not be seen as an acupoint.

”Bang!”

After countless trials, a stream of Internal Qi finally formed a complete circulation. At the very moment that the circulation was completed, Junior Leopard felt that something had gotten through. He was shocked, and then inside of those tendons and meridians, there was a huge attractive force. Suddenly, it fiercely attracted all the Internal Qi that Junior Leopard had gathered at that point.

The extreme speed and fierce attractive force were totally beyond Junior Leopard's expectation.

In the twinkling of an eye, the Internal Qi, which both gathered at that point and was stored in other places inside Junior Leopard's body, was all attracted. In the original Dantian, there was only a poor Demonic Fire Seed, which seemed likely to be extinguished at any time.

It was still not enough. After absorbing all his Internal Qi, that huge attractive force still existed like a hungry monster who was crazily looking for food to fill its belly. Under such circumstances, even that last Demonic Fire Seed in his Dantian could not withstand it too long.

”Damn it!” Junior Leopard cursed in a low voice. He had clearly seen that the tendons and meridians, which now could be called an acupoint, had been established. Compared to the Dantian, this acupoint was even bigger and more grandiose, like a huge black hole. The Internal Qi moved in circles inside and formed a golden-red revolving cloud.

However, compared to this huge acupoint, that starry cloud appeared to be too small to fill the acupoint. That was why just now the acupoint crazily emitted an attractive force to absorb as much pneuma as possible. The great attractive force also made Junior Leopard's breathing difficult. Not only his mouth and nose but also all his pores were absorbing the surrounding pneuma. At this moment, the airflow around Junior Leopard produced a peculiar change.

It was in the depths of the geocentric fire vein where the Spiritual Energy of Fire was extremely rich. Now, the Spiritual Energy of Fire had come here from all around and gathered around Junior Leopard's body because of the attractive force of that new acupoint. Then all the Evil Qi of the Spiritual Energy of Fire went deep into Junior Leopard's pores, which he could not take any more.

Though his body was very strong, he was only in the Bone-Forging Realm. His tendons and meridians were 10 times stronger than ordinary people's, but compared to his body, they were much more fragile. Therefore, when this heterogeneous Evil Qi and pneuma struck in the tendons and meridians, Junior Leopard immediately felt that it was hard to withstand.

His body had just gotten badly injured. Even though those impaired tendons and meridians had been almost repaired, they could not withstand the fierce impact anymore. Now, as the Spiritual Energy of Fire ran amuck, swarming into his body, he naturally could not bear it.

”If it continues like this, when I successfully refine my acupoint, my tendons and meridians will also explode,” Junior Leopard thought to himself. Then a red ray flashed in between his eyebrows. Massive Internal Qi from the Fiery Eyes came out like a flood and rushed downward.

Suddenly, that fierce attractive force stopped. It transformed into a much milder force to take the emerging Internal Qi from the Fiery Eyes into that new acupoint like an invisible hand.

”Gurgle, Gurgle—!”

The Internal Qi flowed and ran along his tendons and meridians like running water. It was the first time that he had completely released the Internal Qi of the Fiery Eyes' External Elixir. Even though he had always known that his round-the-clock practice had accumulated enormous Internal Qi in the Inner Elixir, he was extremely surprised by the significant spurting.

”Kiddo, how did you do that? How come you have such powerful Internal Qi? It's impossible!”

Green Spirit screamed out. It seemed that he had felt the change happen in Junior Leopard's body.

”You still have a telepathic connection with the condition of my body?” Junior Leopard was shocked and he changed his expression suddenly. Because he thought that Green Spirit could not have a telepathic connection with his body anymore since Green Spirit and the green lamp had been taken out of his body.

”Of course. Your Internal Qi comes out in torrents like a flood. With such a loud amplification, the deaf and the blind can also feel that.” Green Spirit sulked and continued, ”Even if I don't have any telepathic connection with your body, I can still feel it. Tell me, how did you do it? Such powerful Internal Qi needs at least hundreds of years of practice.”

”I certainly have my own wonderful method.” Hearing this, Junior Leopard was a little complacent because Green Spirit did not know the method to keep the External Elixir practicing day and night.

”It seems that necromancers in antiquity times were not up to much. They didn't even figure out this little talent that I just discovered with a flash of wit. If I lived in antiquity times, I must have been the Einstein among those necromancers!” Junior Leopard thought to himself complacently.

”Circulation in acupoints never ends!”

Just at the moment that Junior Leopard felt complacent, Green Spirit cried out strangely. ”I see it. I see. Haha, you are really a lucky dog. It must be the acupoint that you used to refine your External Elixir. Only in this way, circulation in the acupoints will never end and it will accumulate such powerful Internal Qi after round-the-clock practice.”

”What do you mean? The External Elixir is also an acupoint?” Junior Leopard's heart beat wildly.

”Of course. You said that your External Elixir was the Fiery Eyes that has the feature of the Heavenly Magic Eyes. You yourself have the Fiery Eyes…” Green Spirit suddenly stopped and said nothing as if he had thought of something. And for a long time, no sound could be heard.

”Hey, what's wrong with you?” After a long while of silence, Junior Leopard had less patience and asked him.

”Kiddo, be patient. Let me think, let me think,” Green Spirit replied strangely and then stayed silent for another while.

Junior Leopard stopped thinking because he knew that even if he were to think about it a lot, he still would not be able to figure it out. Then, he sat down there and led the rolling Internal Qi from the External Elixir into the acupoint.

If his former Internal Qi could be defined as a trickle, then the Internal Qi at present could be defined as a rolling deluge.

The rolling Internal Qi rushed out of the acupoint and integrated into his original Internal Qi. The starry cloud in the acupoint suddenly became larger but rotated slower. After a long time, the rolling Internal Qi gradually ran slower and finally stopped. In his External Elixir, there was not any Internal Qi, but only the power of the Extreme Yang Heavenly Sword that had just been restored.

The newly formed acupoint finally became stable and stopped attracting the Internal Qi from other places.

Inside the acupoint, a huge golden-red starry cloud was rotating up and down. From time to time, the golden-red Internal Qi could be seen rising and falling. Junior Leopard suddenly detected something strange.

”It seems that I have had this kind of feeling before.” Junior felt strange in his heart. In the meantime, that golden-red starry cloud in the acupoint suddenly began to roll as if there was something stirring inside of it.

Junior Leopard became suddenly inspired and the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique automatically exercised. When the Internal Qi was rolling within the acupoint, the Lion that had been refined by Junior Leopard appeared, and following that was an eccentric monster with a dragon's head and a beast's body. As the two monsters appeared, the Internal Qi in the acupoint rapidly decreased. But this time, the acupoint did not produce the attractive force. At that moment, the Lion went back into that starry cloud and only the other monster with the dragon's head and beast's body still hovered around that cloud.

”It's the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon!”

Just now, Junior Leopard finally understood what happened inside. The Nine Forms of the Real Dragon was the third form of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique. He knew that he had just now refined another one of the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon, which was called the Goat-shaped Dragon. Since he had refined the Lion, he began to pay more attention to the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon and kept all of them in his mind. But this time when he refined this Goat-shaped Dragon, he was not so lucky to have the Dragon Flying Technique in mind. He only knew that the Internal Qi was much more condensed and the fact that he had gotten another form to exercise. Now the question was what functions did this Goat-shaped Dragon possess.

But before he began his exploration, Green Spirit's voice came into his ears. ”Kiddo, you have great luck. But also it might be big trouble.”

Junior Leopard was shocked, and then the Goat-shaped Dragon that was formed just now disappeared again into the starry cloud of the acupoint.

”Green Spirit, I tell you that people can be frightened to death by others.”

”Yes, people can be frightened to death by others. But if it were the Innate Deity who frightens people, it would not be so simple as death.” Green Spirit said slowly, ”If I didn't guess wrong, you might have two acupoints of the Innate Deity. They are your two eyes.”

Two acupoints of the Innate Deity?

Junior Leopard was surprised by this news. With a light flashing across his eyes, he asked, ”What do you mean by that?”
