Soon, Yun Chuan's guess became a reality.
Under the strange fluctuations emitted by the rune on his glabella, the spirit power, which was originally flowing through his meridians along a specific meditation path, suddenly began to uncontrollably disperse in all directions… It split into wisps of spirit power, continuously spreading towards those obscure meridian paths and previously untouched meridian areas.
This was no joke; spirit power cultivation wasn't just about casually guiding it to wander through the meridians. It needed to follow a specific trajectory, otherwise, arbitrary cultivation could very likely cause immense damage to the body! This was what martial arts novels often referred to as 'qi deviation'.
Observing his spirit power wandering haphazardly through his meridians through introspection, Yun Chuan couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. If he hadn't trusted this rune so much, he would have already exited his meditation state and stopped his spirit power from running wild.
Time quietly slipped away.
Yun Chuan discovered that under the special fluctuations emitted by the rune on his glabella, the spirit power flowing out from his dantian spread out in an orderly fashion, continuously entering some unknown meridians, expanding those originally narrow and obstructed meridians… It even found many hidden meridians that he had never discovered before.
He was surprised to find that his body's meridians were far more numerous than he had imagined, with the twelve main meridians acting as the trunk, like intricate tree roots spreading throughout his entire body… After all the meridians in his body were opened, the spirit power did not return to his dantian but instead charged towards the acupoints densely distributed throughout his body!
Puff! Puff! Puff…
As one acupoint after another was opened, until all the acupoints in his body were activated, Yun Chuan suddenly found that his efficiency in absorbing spirit power had increased tenfold!
"—Whoosh!!!"
The surrounding air suddenly stirred with visible breezes, swirling around him and slowly beginning to rotate, picking up speed! Finally, a small tornado formed around his body!
This small tornado swept up the energy contained in the air, continuously surging into his body as he meditated, flowing along the meridians, constantly being refined, and finally, all streams converged, gathering in his dantian to become his spirit power!
And feeling this visible increase in spirit power, Yun Chuan was completely dumbfounded. He had never dreamed that after opening all his meridians and acupoints, his cultivation efficiency could still increase so dramatically!
Is this World's power system too primitive, or is my cheat too heaven-defying?
Yun Chuan was utterly bewildered.
At this moment, the rune on his glabella had stopped emitting strange fluctuations. Sensing this, he subconsciously stopped his meditation cultivation. Opening his eyes, he suddenly smelled a foul odor.
It turned out that at some point, a large amount of grayish-black impurities had seeped out from the pores all over his body, emitting a nauseating stench.
Is this the legendary 'Yi Jin Xi Sui' (Marrow Cleansing Scripture)?
Yun Chuan frowned, pinching his nose, and first ran to the window to open it for some fresh air.
Then, he impatiently rushed to the en-suite bathroom, tore off all his clothes, and threw them aside. Next, he turned on the showerhead, and slightly hot water immediately poured down, washing over his body.
The Douluo Continent World is very strange; some places are similar to ancient China, while others lean towards medieval Western settings. It's like two different civilizations mixed together, creating a stitch monster. Anyway, from Yun Chuan's perspective as an Earthling, this World looks very peculiar no matter how he sees it.
There are things similar to electric lights, but no generators. There are faucets, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and showerheads, as well as water heaters, but no refrigerators, air conditioners, or electric fans. In short, some aspects just seem very odd.
Of course, from this World's perspective, these places that Yun Chuan finds very strange actually have reasonable explanations. For example, those anachronistic items, similar to electric lights and water heaters, are things passed down from ancient times, equivalent to spirit tools, and are all driven by spirit power.
So, some parts of this World that seem strange to Yun Chuan can actually be explained away. A simple phrase like 'ancient legacy' can clarify everything.
Perhaps in the ancient times of this World, a civilization similar to modern times developed, but as time passed, the civilization gradually declined, eventually becoming a legend.
In any case, exploring these ancient details is meaningless; living in the present is the most important thing.
Yun Chuan stood under the showerhead, feeling the slightly hot water pouring down. He scrubbed the layer of grime on his body and found that it was greasy. Hot water alone couldn't wash it off. So he reached out, grabbed a bar of soap, and began to scrub his body.
After some time, Yun Chuan finally managed to clean his body after using up the entire bar of soap. He examined his skin, which had improved another level in texture, feeling a bit dissatisfied. In his opinion, such fair and tender skin, like a little girl's, really didn't suit his identity as a tough, iron-blooded man. He decided that in the future, he must get more sun to achieve a bronze complexion, which would look more masculine. What was this fair skin like tofu? It was effeminate and not manly at all.
He turned off the shower.
Grabbing the towel nearby to wipe his hair, Yun Chuan caught a glimpse of his torn clothes out of the corner of his eye. Looking at the greasy, dirty clothes, he frowned. He extended his right hand, and a large ball of flame suddenly burst forth from his palm!
Then he threw the flame onto the clothes.
This flame, originating from the four attributes of the Supreme Haotian Hammer, was clearly not as simple as ordinary fire. As soon as it landed on the damp clothes, it immediately began to burn fiercely.
In a short moment, the clothes were reduced to a pile of ashes.
Yun Chuan nodded in satisfaction, then grabbed the faucet and flushed the ashes down the drain. The entire bathroom immediately became clean and tidy again.
Opening the bathroom door, he walked out naked, wiping his wet hair. He sniffed lightly and found that the room no longer smelled bad after being ventilated for some time.
He took out new clothes and put them on.
Yun Chuan then sat down cross-legged again and began to meditate and cultivate. He wanted to confirm whether his spirit power cultivation speed could still be so fast without the aid of the rune.
"—Whoosh!!!"
The surrounding air stirred with visible wind, swirling around him and slowly beginning to rotate, picking up speed! Finally, a small tornado formed around his body!
This small tornado swept up the energy contained in the air, continuously surging into his body as he meditated, flowing along the meridians, constantly being refined, and finally, all streams converged, gathering in his dantian to become his spirit power!
His spirit power was increasing at a visible rate!
Yun Chuan stopped cultivating and opened his eyes. Through this exploratory cultivation, he knew that because all his meridians and acupoints had been expanded and opened, his cultivation efficiency was now more than ten times what it was originally, even without the help of the rune.
Oh my god!
His innate level 50 cultivation speed was already inhuman, and now it had increased tenfold. How were ordinary Spirit Masters supposed to live?
Yun Chuan shook his head, thinking to himself with a smug satisfaction.
Now, for him, spirit power cultivation was no longer important. What truly limited his strength improvement was his physical fitness not meeting the standards. So, for the next period, his main focus would be on physical training to improve his physical fitness!
He aimed to see if he could become a Titled Douluo at ten years old and a god at twelve.
Douluo was just his starting point, not his destination.
