Chapter Fifty: Qingyuan Gong

  As the sensational hunting competition came to an end, Qingyang Town, which had just passed the New Year, gradually returned to its usual tranquility. However, there were still many topics of conversation that could not be avoided, and most of them revolved around Lin Dong, who had shone brightly in the hunting competition that day.

  Lin's personality is not showy, after the hunting competition, he quietly stays at home, only occasionally going out, so for this person who has now replaced Lei Li as the strongest among the younger generation in Qingyang Town, most people are still quite curious.

  …

  In the early morning, a thin fog enveloped the back mountain of Lin's house. Suddenly, there was a crisp "dong dong" sound coming from the depths of the dense forest.

  On the empty ground between the trees, three moving human-shaped wooden stakes stood upright on the ground. In the center of the stakes, a lithe figure was dodging and retreating, using the wooden stake arms to block and parry, covering almost every part of his body.

  And that thumping sound was produced when the figure's arm came into contact with the wooden stake, a low and muffled tone that conveyed a sense of thick and heavy power.

  A figure, naturally Lin Dong, at this moment, was fully focused on the wooden stake's offensive, his body flashing and dodging. After a brief moment, his eyes suddenly froze, his fingers curled together, and with lightning speed, he heavily struck the wooden stake that was charging towards him.

  Bang!

  When Lin Dong's two fingers touched the wooden stake, a dazzling light burst forth from his fingertips. Immediately afterwards, the extremely hard wooden stake suddenly exploded into a cloud of wood shavings that flew out in all directions.

  "Bang! Bang!"

  One finger poked out a wooden stake, Lin Dong's two fingers poked out again, and the wooden stakes on both sides also burst into pieces, with wood shavings covering the ground.

  "The power of this pure yuan is indeed formidable!"

  Looking at the destructive power of these three fingers, Lin Dong couldn't help but nod his head in satisfaction. This so-called Pure Yuan Finger was the only fourth-grade martial art of the Lin family. The day after they had pressed the so-called genius of martial arts onto Lin Dong's head, Lin Shen Tian and the others hastily handed this thing over to Lin Dong.

  As for Lin Dong, who possessed the mysterious stone symbol, cultivating the Pure Yuan Finger was obviously a relatively easy task. Moreover, the requirements of this martial art were not as complicated as those of the Qimen Seal. Therefore, within a few days of obtaining it, Lin Dong was able to roughly demonstrate its power. And now, a month later, Lin Dong could wield it at will, provided that his body's Yuan force was sufficient to support such extravagance.

  After completing a step of cultivation, Lin Dong casually wiped the sweat and then sat cross-legged on a nearby rock, with a serious expression he took out an ancient yellow book from his bosom.

  This ancient book is the Lin family's secret manual, personally kept by Lin Zhen Tian. Yesterday, Lin Dong finally got it from Lin Zhen Tian's hands. Although it's only a third-rate manual, if he successfully cultivates it, the benefits to Lin Dong will be enormous.

  In this month's time, Lin Dong had gained some understanding of the mysterious manual that was originally in his eyes.

  The so-called secret book of Gongfa is actually a special way to guide and cultivate the original force, such as the "Qingyuan Gong" of the Lin family, which can open up four hidden meridians. These four meridians extend directly to the skin, and when practicing, as long as the Gongfa is urged, it can directly absorb the original force between heaven and earth through these four meridians. The speed is much faster than just absorbing through nasal breathing.

  It is said that some so-called top-grade secret manuals can even directly open up dozens of meridians, and some even more mysterious ones can directly generate endless vortexes in the skin and flesh through a special method. At that time, even if you are not in a state of cultivation, those vortexes will continuously absorb yuan force from heaven and earth, tempering the body and filling the dantian.

  Of course, Lin Dong did have a craving for that level of ancient tome, but it was just a thought. Ancient tomes were too precious, even the so-called third-rate ancient tomes were very expensive, ordinary family clans couldn't even enjoy third-rate ancient tomes.

  Although it is said that only four meridians need to be opened, this is not an easy task. The human body has countless meridians, containing numerous mysteries, and the vast majority of them are in a closed state. Wanting to open these meridians is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

  As Lin Dong knew, Lin Zhen Tian spent half a year to successfully open up the four meridians when he was practicing "Qing Yuan Gong", while Lin Xiao also spent three months.

  Lin Dong slowly flipped through the yellowed book, memorizing all the annotations on it without missing a single word. Cultivating ancient tomes was different from martial arts; if one failed to cultivate successfully, they could simply give up. However, cultivating this ancient tome was different - if any mishap occurred, the consequences would be severe: minor setbacks might result in bed rest for several days, while major ones could lead to meridian rupture. Therefore, when cultivating the ancient tome's techniques, not a single mistake could be made.

  So, after reading the dozen or so pages for nearly an hour, Lin Dong finally withdrew his gaze, a look of deep contemplation on his face. The secret book had many detailed annotations, and by following them to cultivate, he would be able to avoid quite a few detours.

  "What kind of help will the mysterious stone symbol have for the secret manual of Kung Fu?"

  Lin's hand rubbed against the cover of the secret book, but his eyes suddenly flashed, that perfect "teacher", how could he be forgotten.

  At this point, Lin Dong also smiled slightly, his eyes slowly closing, and with a movement of his mind, he appeared in the spiritual space within the stone symbol.

  The space now seems to be brighter than before, and the number of light shadows has also become four, which are Tongbei Fist, Bahang Palm, Qimen Seal, and Chunyuan Finger.

  After Lin Dong entered this spiritual space, the space behind the fourth light shadow also began to distort gradually. Finally, another light shadow appeared, but this time, it was sitting cross-legged.

  Not long after the appearance of this light and shadow, its body gradually became somewhat transparent, with countless rays of light, like meridians, emerging from within.

  When the body is transparent, only the meridians that are like a tangled mess can be seen. Suddenly, a bright light appears and flows along the meridians, finally reaching under the skin smoothly.

  Seeing this scene, Lin Dong's heart moved slightly, and he already understood that this should be the first meridian that "Qingyuan Gong" needed to open. This kind of guidance was undoubtedly more vivid and clearer than what was depicted in the secret book by countless times.

  After the first meridian lit up successfully, three more meridians lit up one after another, with their routes clearly visible under high transparency and stereoscopic light and shadow.

  Lin Dong memorized the routes of these four meridians, then nodded silently. Just as he was about to temporarily exit this spiritual space, his moving gaze suddenly discovered that after the fourth meridian lit up, another meridian slowly emitted a bright light, which connected smoothly to the skin.

  "Article 5!"

  Looking at the fifth meridian line, Lin Dong's eyes also slightly contracted. It seems that this mysterious stone symbol can not only perfect martial arts, but even enhance secret skills!

  With this change, Lin Dong quieted down again, his eyes tightly staring at the light and shadow. He wanted to see how much the "Qingyuan Gong" that could only open up four meridians would be amplified in Shi Xiang's hands.

  Under Lin Dong's unblinking gaze, after the fifth meridian lit up, about a few minutes later, two more meridian lines successively lit up!

  Seven Meridians!

  Looking at the seven meridian lines shining brightly within the light and shadow body, Lin Dong couldn't help but take a light breath, this was almost like amplifying the "Green Origin Skill" by nearly double!

  This mysterious stone symbol is truly a divine object!

  The new first update is back again~~~~~
