Chapter 225: Opening the Yang Wei Vessel

For example, the Yang Wei Vessel is the first meridian a Martial Artist must face when attempting to open their meridians; among the Extraordinary Meridians, the difficulty of opening it is relatively the lowest.

The entire Yang Wei Vessel has a total of 16 acupuncture points; each time an acupuncture point is successfully opened, the True Qi within the Martial Artist's body will increase, and at the same time, various physical attributes will also be strengthened to a certain degree.

And if one can successfully open the entire meridian, the True Qi will be significantly improved further.

If one can open the first four meridians, the Origin True Qi within the Martial Artist's body will exceed one hundred units, thereby advancing to a Vein Refining middle-stage Martial Artist.

If one opens six meridians, with only the Ren and Du meridians remaining unopened, one also belongs to the Vein Refining middle-stage Martial Artist.

And when all the Extraordinary Meridians are opened, and a Qi Sea is successfully created in the dantian to convert True Qi into True Essence, it means one has stepped into the True Essence Realm.

It is just that the difficulty of opening the Extraordinary Meridians increases with each one.

Unless one is a martial arts prodigy with extraordinary talent whose eight meridians are naturally in a connected state, otherwise, superior aptitude and massive cultivation resources are both indispensable.

"If I open the next acupuncture point, the Yang Wei Vessel will be completely opened." Lu Yu could not help but feel a surge of anticipation in his heart.

【Consume 440,000 Potential Points to open the Yamen acupuncture point of the Yang Wei Vessel】

【True Qi value +16】

【Constitution +7】

【Strength +8】

【Open the entire Yang Wei Vessel】

【True Qi +20】

【Constitution +8】

【Strength +9】

【Agility +9】

Lu Yu's eyes first lit up, but immediately after, he shook his head with a wry smile.

Good grief, he had thought that after opening the entire meridian, the attribute improvement would be quite significant, but as it turned out, the True Qi value only increased by an extra 20 points...

The changes in the three basic attributes were also not particularly large.

However, being able to improve physical attributes while refining Qi could be considered an unexpected bonus.

Lu Yu looked at the panel again.

Realm: Vein Refining Initial Stage

True Qi: 58/236

The Potential Points required for the next meridian opening reached 600,000, which was more than 100,000 more than the Potential Points required for the last acupuncture point of the previous meridian.

Lu Yu checked his remaining Potential Points, which were still over 87 million, thinking to himself that it seemed the difficulty of opening four meridians should not be too great.

As for the Potential Points required for the subsequent meridians, he could only take it one step at a time.

He continued to look down.

After opening the first meridian, his Origin True Qi had already risen from over 150 points to 236 points, an increase of over 80 points all at once.

The growth in the total amount of True Qi in his body reached 101 points.

"Then let's continue to open the meridians."

With a thought from Lu Yu, one million Potential Points were instantly consumed.

Even though the difficulty of opening the second meridian was twice that of the first, in the face of the True Qi converted from such a massive amount of Potential Points, it was still easily broken through.

【Consume 1,000,000 Potential Points to open the Zhubin acupuncture point of the Yin Wei Vessel】

【True Qi value +17】

【Constitution +9】

【Strength +9】

"Did the True Qi value only increase by 17 points?" Lu Yu scratched his head, thinking to himself if that was a bit too little.

However, according to what those Pulse Refining Martial Artists in the Association said, opening the first four meridians would result in about a thousand or so points of Origin True Qi. Lu Yu shook his head helplessly and chose to continue improving.

【Consume 2,000,000 Potential Points to open the Fushe acupuncture point of the Yin Wei Vessel】

【True Qi value +18】

【Constitution +9】

【Strength +7】

【Consume 1,800,000 Potential Points to open the Zhubin acupuncture point of the Yin Wei Vessel】

【True Qi value +25】

【Constitution +10】

【Strength +9】

【Agility +8】

【Open the entire Yin Wei Vessel】

【True Qi +30】

【Constitution +9】

【Strength +10】

【Agility +10】

The second meridian was successfully opened.

As a reward for opening the entire meridian, the True Qi value increased by 30 points at once.

However, the three attributes of Constitution, Strength, and Agility had been fluctuating around 10 points.

It seems that for opening an entire meridian, the growth of the three attributes is basically around one hundred points.

Lu Yu looked at the panel again.

Realm: Vein Refining Initial Stage

True Qi: 247/425

The Potential Points required to perform Meridian Opening again increased from 1.8 million to 3 million, and Lu Yu clearly felt significant pressure.

He looked at the remaining Potential Points; there were only nearly 70 million left.

"I don't know if I can open the third meridian; there's probably no hope for the fourth." He sighed softly, but then he thought of a piece of good news.

His Origin True Qi had already reached 425 points; counting the 30% True Qi bonus, the total amount of True Qi in his body had already reached 552 points.

If he could successfully open the third meridian and include the Internal Energy bonus, his total True Qi should be able to exceed 1000 points; in this way, he would be able to rival a Vein Refining Middle Stage Martial Artist who had opened four meridians.

"Then I will open the Yang Qiao Vessel."

The Yang Qiao Vessel and the Yin Qiao Vessel are the other two meridians that need to be opened during the Vein Refining Initial Stage; the former has a slightly higher number of acupoints, with 14, while the latter is relatively fewer, with only 9.

【Consume 3 million Potential Points, open the Shenmai acupoint of the Yang Qiao Vessel】

【True Qi value +26】

【Constitution +9】

【Agility +8】

【Consume 4.3 million Potential Points, open the Fengchi acupoint of the Yang Qiao Vessel】

【True Qi value +39】

【Constitution +9】

【Strength +10】

【Agility +8】

As the Fengchi acupoint was successfully broken through, the entire Yang Qiao Vessel was declared opened.

【Open the entire Yang Qiao Vessel】

【True Qi +50】

【Constitution +9】

【Strength +10】

【Agility +10】

True Qi was continuously increasing, yet the three basic attributes had clearly reached the bottleneck value for the current stage.

"The total amount of True Qi in my body should have already exceeded one thousand points, right?" Lu Yu looked at the panel with slight trepidation in his heart.

The True Qi value was displayed as: 752/930; seeing this line of numbers, Lu Yu could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.

With 930 points of Origin True Qi, calculated according to the 30% additional True Qi bonus, the total amount of True Qi in his body had already reached 1209 points.

In this way, the conditions for using the Wind Chasing Arrow were considered met.

Of course, as far as his current True Qi reserves were concerned, this move could only be used once, so Lu Yu intended to use it as a trump card for critical moments.

Lu Yu's gaze slowly moved upward to look at the Realm column, which displayed: Vein Refining Initial Stage.

And at this moment, the Potential Points required for the next Meridian Opening had already climbed from 4.3 million to 6 million.

Looking at the Yin Qiao Vessel again, this meridian had a total of nine acupoints; if he wanted to open them all, the required Potential Points would be at least 54 million.

Lu Yu frowned slightly; the amount of Potential Points required was truly not small.
