After careful scrutiny, Li Yunmu discovered that the core of the Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique were the words in the first line meaning nurturing meridian, strengthening flux point, expanding muscle, transforming blood, and substituting internal organs. Only when someone became perfect in these five points could the flux points be developed and a future path of cultivation opened.
In the beginning, Li Yunmu couldn’t understand it. But after reading through the text carefully for one more time, he suddenly understood that this Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique was actually a torn fragment of a technique which smashed the common sense of Origin World.
Strengthening flux points, nurturing meridians!
The Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique he had only dealt with two of the five fields mentioned before.
According to the author, the deity had said that if someone nurtured their meridians, strengthened their flux points, expanded their muscles, transformed their blood, and substituted their internal organs to the point of perfection, then with the aid of some heavenly materials, their flux points could break through the universal limit and be advanced to the next stage.
If someone was successful in developing their flux points to that point, they would’ve smashed through the shackles of the deity realm and gain the chance to step into the realm of ancient god.
After descending to the Origin World, this was the first time that Li Yunmu had heard about such an idea and the existence of ancient god realm’s threshold.
From that, it could be clearly seen that the Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique definitely belonged to ancient history.
It had to be known that of all the natives that Li Yunmu had met in the Origin World, none had advocated that flux points could be strengthened to the next stage.
The so-called flux points strengthening techniques which Li Yunmu had been looking for mainly focused on dealing with the innately frail constitution of descenders. Those secret techniques were only complementing the deficiency and not developing the flux points to the next stage.
However, when he read the complete manuscript, he became aware that it wasn’t that the strength and development of flux points had reached the limit, but that the people he’d met were too low level.
If not for his trip to the Hall Clan, Li Yunmu wouldn’t have known that there existed ancient gods in the Origin World who were even higher level than what the quasi deities had been chasing after.
Li Yunmu sighed faintly. The ancient god realm towards which the ancient secret technique pointed was extremely far from him. Besides, his manuscript was even incomplete.
He had only obtained a fragment which would allow his body to be developed to the limit in the past. The remnant fragment was just that, which made it fcking useless. It lacked three of its parts—expanding muscles, transforming blood, and substituting internal organs.
After a long time, Li Yunmu returned to the real world. What he needed to accomplish right then was to complement what he had as a descender. All the other things could come later.
Before long, Li Yunmu exited the room. He went back to Whale Island, but didn’t stay there for a long time. After going to the neutral island city, he wantonly spent thirty thousand life points to purchase a hoard of medicine and different materials before returning.
Upon returning, he again went into seclusion in his room.
By then, his heavenly world no longer contained the ape gods which left it silent, without the previous liveliness and vitality. Following the steps from the Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique, he first established a medicinal cauldron near the spring. After that he took out a number of medicinal herbs and other ingredients which he had purchased in Whale Island.
That’s right. The first step to complement weak constitution and strengthen flux points was to concoct elixirs. It thus could be seen that the so-called secret technique could only be used by those who were wealthy.
The price to purchase a secret technique to supplement flux points was at least five thousand contribution points. If the costs of herbs and other ingredients to be purchased were also added, then if one was born as a civilian with a weak constitution, they were out of luck. They would need nine thousand contribution points to supplement their deficiency.
And that was not calculating the costs required to cultivate to physical flux expert and flux experts layers. Fortunately, Li Yunmu was a wealthy person.
His wealth wasn’t in terms of silver sand coins used by ordinary people, but rather in the accumulated amount of currency used by the cultivators – life points. But even then, of the 1.3 million which he had obtained from the first sale of croton, he didn’t have much left.
After using three thousand contribution points to purchase flux binding pills, then another three thousand to read the summary of the source manuscripts, and finally three thousand more to purchase the ingredients, he had spent nearly nine hundred thousand life points in less than ten days.
If such news was leaked out, his fellow disciples would probably fall into despair. Nine hundred thousand life points could purchase nine hundred thousand grains of low level croton.
That amount was even sufficient for some flux experts to last their whole life. However, although the investment was quite large, the harvest was also similarly enormous.
All the thirty types of medicine and other ingredients were thrown into the cauldron by Li Yunmu, according to the sequence prescribed in the Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique.
Blood meridian fruit, rattan silk, lentigo grass, stone marrow, rare eel blood, juice from cold plum tree, moon lotus, the heart of devil gauze… and so on.
Li Yunmu carefully looked at all the ingredients and cautiously threw them in one after another.
Some needed to be thrown in the beginning, and some could be thrown only after reaching a certain temperature. There were also some which could only be thrown after crushing and mixing them with other ingredients.
Even the fire under the cauldron required specific wood. If he made the slightest mistake in any of the procedures, the whole process would immediately fail.
Li Yunmu understood that what he had wasn’t just an ordinary secret recipe to complement the deficiency of flux points, but a unique recipe of Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique. As for how potent it was when compared to other recipe to strengthen flux points? He would know the answer after testing the elixir he had just concocted.
Fortunately, Li Yunmu wasn’t refining the elixir alone, but had the system’s precise guidance. Thus, he completed the extremely difficult process without any mishaps, which was one of the benefits of the system’s assistance.
If he had been someone else who wasn’t an extremely high class pill concocting master, then without testing for a few times, they certainly wouldn’t have been able to succeed.
But Li Yunmu was already done with it. After a few hours, when he opened the lid of the cauldron, he discovered the elixir boiling like a broth.
According to the procedure, he took out a jade bottle of ice attribute and carefully poured the elixir in it. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
It truly hadn’t been easy. Refining several tens of kilograms of medicinal herbs and ingredients had produced only several tens of grams of elixir in the end.
After that, Li Yunmu didn’t stop and filled a wooden bath which he had prepared long ago with water from the spring. He then poured three drops of the elixir into the tub of water.
Instantly, the originally clear spring water turned vermillion color. Without any hesitation, Li Yunmu removed his clothes and shoes and jumped into the tub.
Then he began to rotate the flux energy in his body according to the secret technique and his entire body entered a special state. With each inhale and exhale, he began to gradually absorb the medicinal liquid.
