Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 168: Storing Yuan Meridians (Bonus Chapter for the 17th Alliance Leader, archicad)

Perhaps because he had never encountered such a situation before, the yellow-robed youth was completely stunned by Mo Wuji's slap, his mind blank. He subconsciously obeyed Mo Wuji's words and sat down on a seat to the side. The other inner disciples in yellow robes did not dare to speak out either, and quickly stepped aside.

These inner disciples all had first-rate spiritual root aptitude, but their strength was still low. Faced with the powerful Mo Wuji, they simply didn't dare to argue.

In this short period of time, the Transmission Hall was already full of disciples, with many even standing at the back. Mo Wuji sat alone in the middle of the front row. Because most people had seen him teaching those yellow-robed inner disciples a lesson, no one dared to sit next to him, leaving several seats on either side empty.

Even those inner disciples who had been taught a lesson by Mo Wuji didn't dare to sit in the empty seats next to him now.

Mo Wuji was also a little helpless. He wasn't trying to monopolize the best seats in the first row; he just wanted one seat.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a black beard, dressed in gray robes, walked into the Transmission Hall. Mo Wuji hadn't learned the ability to check cultivation levels, but he knew that this black-bearded middle-aged man must be Elder Dai, who was lecturing on spirit meridians today. The invisible pressure and aura made it clear to Mo Wuji that the other party was much stronger than him.

The black-bearded man stood on the lecture platform and scanned the hall. When he saw that only Mo Wuji was sitting in the best seats in the front row, and that Mo Wuji looked as ordinary as an outer disciple, he was slightly surprised.

Soon, his gaze fell on the wall a few feet away, where there were fresh bloodstains.

Mo Wuji was very calm. Even if this Elder Dai wanted to pursue the matter, he was in the right.

To Mo Wuji's slight surprise, Elder Dai didn't say anything. He didn't even pay attention to Mo Wuji before directly beginning his lecture: "So-called cultivators refer to those who cultivate. In the initial stages of cultivation, cultivators are also called Spiritualists. This is because to become a cultivator, one must possess spiritual roots. Those without spiritual roots are ordinary people, and can never cultivate…"

Mo Wuji didn't think much of this. He didn't have spiritual roots, but he was still cultivating. Because he had pioneered a path for ordinary people to cultivate, forging a different path of cultivation.

"Those who possess spiritual roots can certainly cultivate, but spiritual roots have good and bad qualities, and aptitude has high and low levels. How do we judge the quality of spiritual roots and the level of aptitude? The most common method we use is to test spiritual roots. In fact, this is only the most basic way to judge spiritual roots, and it is not the most accurate method…"

Elder Dai's teaching progressed from the simple to the profound, and Mo Wuji was gradually drawn in, listening with great attention.

"I have even seen a cultivator with inferior-grade spiritual roots enter the True God Realm. Of course, this is also related to opportunity. The most standard method for judging the quality of spiritual roots is not to test the spiritual root grade, but rather the number of spirit meridians. Generally, for cultivators, if they can reach ten or more spirit meridians after Spiritual Awakening, they are considered top-tier spiritual roots and are also talented cultivators. Of course, there are even cultivators who awaken twenty spirit meridians…"

Elder Dai said, glancing at the many listening cultivators in the hall, and his tone softened slightly. "When you all underwent Spiritual Awakening, perhaps you only opened up four or five meridians. Don't think you're incapable because of this. Spiritual Awakening is only the first step in opening up spirit meridians. How many spirit meridians you can open up later depends on your effort and opportunities. In our Wen Tian School, there was once a senior who only opened up three spirit meridians during Spiritual Awakening, but in the end, through their own efforts, they forcefully opened up over ninety spirit meridians…"

A wave of discussion broke out in the hall. Those who could sit here and listen to the lecture were naturally not ignorant. They knew what over ninety spirit meridians represented; even the best extreme-grade spiritual roots might not be able to open up that many spirit meridians.

"Now, I will talk about the various spirit meridians. The human body has many spirit meridians: primary meridians, extraordinary meridians, pivot meridians, exterior meridians, skin meridians, bone meridians, collateral meridians…"

Although Mo Wuji had a good understanding of meridians, after listening to this, he was even more impressed. What Elder Dai was saying was truly profound and benefited him greatly.

Not only Mo Wuji, but all the cultivators were listening intently, carefully memorizing the names and functions of these spirit meridians.

Time passed unnoticed.

"…The so-called jue wei spirit meridian is the central spirit meridian among the collateral meridians. It can not only guide us cultivators in the circulation of energy…"

……

"Alright, today's spirit meridian lesson will end here. If there are any disciples who still don't understand, please ask now. I will give everyone three opportunities to ask questions. Remember, you can only ask questions related to spirit meridians." After a full six hours of lecturing, the hall was silent. Only after Elder Dai spoke these words did everyone recover from the vast knowledge of spirit meridians.

Mo Wuji felt that this trip was well worth it. Since he was in the first row, he naturally stood up without hesitation, bowed respectfully, and then asked, "Disciple Mo Wuji seeks guidance from Senior. This disciple has heard that someone was once able to open up one hundred spirit meridians. May I ask if this is true?"

The incident of Mo Wuji violently beating several inner disciples was still fresh in their minds. Now that Mo Wuji stood up to ask a question, many disciples didn't dare to speak up, even though everyone here was furious at the question Mo Wuji was asking.

Because Mo Wuji was asking an idiotic question that had no meaning. Who would pay attention to the hundredth spirit meridian? But no one dared to say anything.

Asking this question was equivalent to wasting an opportunity.

Dai Zhu hummed and calmly replied, "Opening up one hundred spirit meridians is not a false claim. In fact, I have even heard of geniuses who have opened up one hundred and one spirit meridians."

Even those cultivators who were resentful that Mo Wuji had asked such a boring question were now attracted by Dai Zhu's words. A genius who opened up one hundred and one spirit meridians? Who was that person?

"All the spirit meridians I mentioned earlier do not include the hundredth spirit meridian. The hundredth spirit meridian is called the Stored Yuan Meridian. This meridian can store yuan energy, but this yuan energy does not belong to the yuan energy within the cultivator's cultivation…"

The hall erupted in an uproar. Could store yuan energy? That meant that once someone possessed the Stored Yuan Meridian, they would have an extra trump card compared to other cultivators. Even if two people fought until they were exhausted, the Stored Yuan Meridian would still have extra yuan energy. This was simply a powerful weapon.

Dai Zhu smiled. "I think everyone understands the power of the Stored Yuan Meridian. Precisely because of this, cultivators who open up one hundred spirit meridians are far stronger than ordinary cultivators. Of course, there are very few cultivators who open up the hundredth spirit meridian. Our Wen Tian School once had a senior who opened up one hundred spirit meridians. I heard that this senior has crossed the Five Elements Wasteland and gone to the true Great World."

"May I ask Senior Dai, how can one open up the hundredth spirit meridian?" Mo Wuji quickly asked.

Everyone was angry but didn't dare to speak. Mo Wuji was asking nonsense.

Mo Wuji could also sense everyone's anger, but he had no choice. He had to ask. This was related to his own future. He was an orphan with no master, and he had finally caught Elder Dai, who was also a senior with research on spirit meridians. How could he let go of this opportunity?

He had to consider everyone's feelings depending on the matter. On matters related to his own cultivation future, Mo Wuji would never hesitate in the slightest. Otherwise, why would he sit at the front? The hundredth spirit meridian belonged to the Stored Yuan Meridian, which was definitely a surprise to Mo Wuji. Once he opened up the hundredth spirit meridian, it would be equivalent to having an extra trump card.

Dai Zhu sighed and replied, "Opening up the hundredth spirit meridian is no easy task. I heard that only by cultivating to the tenth level of Vein Expansion Realm can one have the opportunity to touch the hundredth spirit meridian. As for the specific method of opening it, I have not delved into it. Our Wen Tian School's Scripture Depository has detailed explanations of spirit meridians. You can go and check it out."

"Senior Dai, Disciple Chu Zhensheng. After opening up the sixty-ninth meridian, I have been unable to open up new meridians again. Once I forcefully try to open them, it will cause my cultivation to collapse. May I ask Senior if there is a way to solve this problem?" A cultivator sitting behind Mo Wuji, fearing that Mo Wuji would continue to ask the last question, quickly interjected.

As soon as this question came out, the entire hall became even quieter, showing that this was a question that everyone cared about.

If there was one person who didn't care about this question, it was Mo Wuji. At this moment, Mo Wuji was already thinking about how to enter the Scripture Depository of Wen Tian School.

In the end, Mo Wuji decided to first visit Yan'er, and then immediately go to the Scripture Depository to find the method to open up the hundredth meridian, and also to find out how to build a spiritual foundation.

As Mo Wuji made his decision, Dai Zhu also announced the end of the lecture. After Dai Zhu left, many disciples stood up and left.

"Mo Wuji, I've remembered you." A sharp voice rang out, and Mo Wuji turned around to see the yellow-robed youth with a few faint marks on his face.

Mo Wuji stopped. The youth subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Get lost. Don't disgust me. If you dare to speak to me so arrogantly again, I'll beat you until you can't recognize your own parents," Mo Wuji glared at the yellow-robed youth and scolded.

The yellow-robed youth and the other disciples who had been taught a lesson by Mo Wuji quickly bypassed Mo Wuji and hurried away from the Transmission Hall.

Many disciples subconsciously kept some distance from Mo Wuji and then left in a hurry.

Seeing Chao Buheng's hesitant expression, Mo Wuji simply didn't call him. He knew what Chao Buheng was worried about. Chao Buheng was worried that getting too close to him would cause him to be targeted by the inner disciples.

Seeing Mo Wuji leave, Chao Buheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then lowered his head in shame. At the same time, he was secretly shocked by Mo Wuji's strength. With Mo Wuji's powerful skills, how could he only have climbed to the eighth step on the Wen Tian Steps?

"This person is so powerful. Who is he?" After Mo Wuji left, many disciples began to discuss. Many people here had seen Mo Wuji's attack. At that time, Mo Wuji had swept away several inner disciples in the Vein Expansion Realm.

"I suspect he's already in the Spiritual Building Realm."

"Let's go. This matter is definitely not over. That Mo Wuji is too impulsive. He's going to suffer a big loss later…"

……

Even if he knew he would suffer a big loss, Mo Wuji didn't care. This time, he had gained a lot, and sitting at the front, he had asked two key questions. These two questions were very important to him. Even if it happened again, he would still sit at the front.
