Chapter 150: Chapter 149: Condensing ridians
Shen Luo’s facial features contorted in pain, drenched in cold sweat. But both of his hands remained tightly wrapped around his lower abdon’s Dantian, unwilling to ease the slightest bit of their grip.
At this mont, the two streams of mana in his Dantian engaged in a fierce conflict, causing his abdon to rumble like a drum, emitting booming sounds.
His Dantian had never experienced such a colossal impact; it felt like countless small blades were stirring it crazily.
Compared to the current heart-wrenching agony, the previously endured pain from the tearing of his ridians and Dantian seed negligible.
His teeth tightly clenched, despite his unbearable short gasps of pain. His body continued to shudder incessantly, and beads of perspiration the size of soybeans continued to roll from his forehead.
“No wonder the Naless Heavenly Book ntioned the necessity of steadfast determination. This kind of tornt is unbearable for an ordinary person!” Shen Luo thought to himself, but no intention of surrender arose within him.
The mana conflict within his Dantian intensified, intensifying the pain.
Shen Luo, doubled over, clenched his fists in the area above his Dantian, fiercely clenching his determination despite cutting his hand in the process.
Gradually, he noticed that the two streams of mana that were originally gaseous, seed to be wavering less during the constant collision and conflict within his Dantian.
And the originally increasing agony began to subside as the amount of mana decreased.
“Could it be that my attempt has failed and has backfired, causing the carefully cultivated mana to dissolve?” With this thought, Shen Luo beca slightly anxious.
Regardless of his anxiety, the conflict of mana within his Dantian did not subside. The consumption of the two increased, and the previously full Dantian started to feel empty.
Shen Luo’s heart sank, the physical tornt just now transitioned into ntal tornt.
Just at that mont, at the location within the Dantian where the conflict was most fierce, sothing incredible occurred after the two violently colliding streams of mana suddenly ceased.
The two battling flows of mana, after their last bout of collision, did not separate as they had before. Instead, they rged as one.
In his Dantian, a trace of sparkling light erged, followed by a droplet of radiant, liquid mana.
Boom!
When this liquid mana appeared, just like throwing a spark onto a pile of dry leaves, the other conflicting mana streams began to intertwine and rge continuously, transforming into droplets of liquid mana.
Within the space of a few breaths, all of the mana within Shen Luo’s Dantian had turned liquid. The knife-stirring pain swiftly disappeared, replaced by a warm comforting feeling. It left his Dantian soaked as if imrsed in warm water.
Shen Luo was both surprised and delighted by the change in his body.
It seed that the previously violent mana conflict was nothing more than a necessary process for condensing Qi into a liquid state. The dissolving mana wasn’t actually disappearing; it was continuously condensing, making it more and more potent until it ultimately completely amalgamated and liquified.
Shen Luo cald his emotions by quietly running the Naless Cultivation Technique, stabilizing the mana within his Dantian.
Now was not the mont to be complacent. The liquification of mana was rely the first step in breaking through the Grain Avoidance Stage. The real challenge, the refining of ridians, lay ahead. If that step failed, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
Refining of ridians ant to reconstruct the ridians connecting to the Dantian and nourishing them with mana.
According to the Naless Heavenly Book, different schools and sects had different thods for refining ridians. So were relatively gentle but took a very long ti, while others took shortcuts but obviously held many hidden dangers. The thod described in the Naless Cultivation Technique was the most direct and domineering one. It required one to destroy the original ridians and then let the mana regenerate them.
Destruction of one’s ridians ant facing enormous risks. If one was not careful, it could result in disability at best and potentially even death at worst.
Given Shen Luo’s cautious nature, he naturally preferred the slow and steady way. However, ti was a resource he did not have. Most significantly, the Naless Cultivation Technique only recorded this single thod, leaving him no room to choose.
Shen Luo took several deep breaths, cleared his mind of distractions, and slowly closed his eyes.
He continued to absorb the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi from the surrounding pond water into his Dantian, while gently channeling the liquid mana within his Dantian to form a vortex, rotating it from slow to fast.
Before long, a burning sensation arose within his Dantian. As the vortex accelerated, so did the burning sensation, felt like a fire was burning inside his Dantian.
Shen Luo responded calmly, causing his Dantian to shudder fiercely. Strands of blue mana floated out of the center of the vortex, forming a thumb-sized blue liquid droplet.
Next, the blue liquid droplet moved upwards from his Dantian, directly through his Hand’s Three Yang ridians, which included the Yangming Large Intestine ridian, into his arms and finger, as a surge of warmth started quickly flowing within them.
In an instant, the entire ridian was filled with blue mana.
“Break!”
Along with the shout in Shen Luo’s heart, the entire Yangming Large Intestine ridian shuddered and shattered into pieces. Imdiately, intense pain washed over him.
But at that mont, strands of blue silk materialized within the shattered ridian, entwining around the fragnts.
There was a vibrant vitality radiating out from these blue strands. The shattered ridian swiftly recovered. Within a few breaths, a brand-new ridian was ford.
The newly ford Yangming Large Intestine ridian emitted a faint blue light, expanded a bit more than before, and seed to be stronger.
Almost the sa instant after it was reconstructed, this ridian trembled again and shattered once more.
The silvery-blue strands full of vitality erged again, initiating another swift recovery of the shattered ridian.
In the next mont, as if stuck in a cycle, the ridian shuddered again…
In this way, the cycle of shattering and reconstruction happened nine tis before finally settling down.
A dragon-like roar echoed inside his arms. A transparent blue light belt erged at the back of his body and then vanished instantly.
Experiencing the rampant flow of mana in this newly ford ridian, Shen Luo felt extrely excited. He didn’t expect the process to run so smoothly.
Although he couldn’t observe the changes internally, he could sense the profound changes that had occurred in the Yangming Large Intestine ridian. The flow capacity had doubled, and it also beca much more resilient, behaving like an elastic band.
If he were to use a technique through both hands at that mont, the potency would probably be more than doubled, and the casting speed would be 10% faster. Additionally, the ridian could accelerate the absorption of the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi. Like the Dantian, it could store mana, thus increasing his body’s mana capacity.
According to the Naless Heavenly Book, the capacity of a newborn ridian is approximately one-tenth of Dantian’s capacity. With continuous nourishnt, it could expand furthermore to store more mana.
“I hope everything goes smoothly from here on,” Shen Luo muttered to himself, quickly suppressing the excitent in his heart.
