Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 25 Decoding Results

"Fellow Daoist, do you know the reason?" Yu Xuan also looked excited.

"The acupuncture points you mentioned are all among the seventy-two acupoints I mentioned earlier!" Qiu Ci nodded and continued, "There are eight extraordinary meridians in the human body, a total of twelve meridians. The seventy-two acupoints are located at the key locations of these meridians. Although only twenty-four of these acupoints are used for the circulation of spiritual energy, the meridians have always been complementary to each other. Since these acupoints were not opened at the beginning, they naturally remained closed afterwards."

"But as your cultivation improves, your entire body improves. When your cultivation is low, the twenty-four acupoints are enough to move the entire body. But as your cultivation gets higher, the load on the acupoints becomes heavier and heavier. They can no longer move, and naturally stagnate."

Simply put, his body only has a twenty-four-core configuration, but he is forced to run software above the seventy-two-core Nascent Soul stage. Isn't it normal for it to make a crackling sound when it turns?

"So... it's because of the basic acupoints?" Yu Xuan's eyes widened suddenly. In fact, he had vaguely guessed this, so after watching the other party's improved version of the Qi-inducing technique, he raised this question, "Then... can I reopen the acupoints now..."

"No!" Qiu Ci shook his head in denial, "Your acupoints have been closed for many years, and the tendons and veins connected to them have long been blocked. Forcing an impact will only break the tendons and veins together." This is why he felt a sense of collapse when he practiced.

From the moment he started practicing, that set of skills was destined to only allow him to reach the Nascent Soul stage, which was why the system was so disgusted with it at first.

Yu Xuan felt that the hope that had just risen was completely shattered in an instant, and bitterness rose in his heart. It would have been great if he had met Fellow Daoist Chu earlier. Not to mention when he had just started practicing, even when he had just formed the Dan, he would have had the energy to give up his efforts and start over again, open up the seventy-two acupoints, and start over again.

But now, he has been in the Nascent Soul stage for many years, and his life span is only a few decades. If he wastes his energy now, it will be no different from suicide. The great path he pursues can only stop here. Well, he should do more for the sect before his life span runs out.

Yu Xuan sighed heavily, even considering whether to charge into the Immortal Alliance and kill every last one of them to relieve some of the pressure on the sect. After all, the old men nearing the end of their lives in various sects were always mad dogs, so he didn't mind going crazy for once.

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Chu." Yu Xuan let go of his obsession and thanked him again earnestly, "Then I won't bother you anymore..."

"Here." He was about to say goodbye when he found Qiu Ci next to him suddenly wrote a note and handed it to him, "Take it!"

"This...what is this?" Yu Xuan took it in a daze, looking confused.

"A prescription." Qiu Ci answered seriously, "I don't have these spiritual plants and herbs now, so you need to find them yourself. Once you have them all, I will help you purify them and make pills. But you'd better prepare two or more. I haven't done it before, so I can't guarantee the success rate." But with the system as a cheat, it shouldn't kill people.

Yu Xuan glanced at the paper in his hand filled with various spiritual plants and herbs, then looked at Qiu Ci who looked serious. Suddenly, he felt his hands trembling. "Fellow Daoist Chu, what you mean is, is this... this... this... this prescription, can... can... can... help me open up the remaining acupoints?"

"Yes." You came to see me for treatment, so of course I need some medicine. I can't just chat with you. "Using medicine to clear the blockage will be milder, but the treatment will take a long time, about three months."

"Three... three... three... months?!" Such a short time could make up for the foundation that he had been lacking for hundreds of years. Was he dreaming?

"Why, do you think it's too slow?" She was so anxious that she stuttered, and subconsciously wanted to take back the prescription, "Then..." I'll revise it.

"No!" Yu Xuan retracted his hand as fast as lightning, and held the note in his arms like a treasure. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chu. I... I... I... I'll go get ready now!"

After saying that, he turned around and flew away without stopping.

But after just a moment, he flew back, his face flushed crimson. He asked with a mixture of shame and embarrassment, "Um... Fellow Daoist Chu, since this recipe can open my acupoints, can it work for others..." There were a bunch of Jindan masters and nephews in the sect, so she had to ask for them too. "Sure!" Knowing he was asking for the Sect Master and the others, she nodded simply, "As long as we can find enough spiritual plants, I can refine it together."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chu!" Yu Xuan bowed solemnly again before turning around and flying away again.

Everyone had left and the back mountain became quiet again. When Qiu Ci was about to call his friends to continue farming, he suddenly heard a long-lost electronic sound in his ears.

[Ding! Master, I've finished analyzing that scale. Come quickly!]

Qiu Ci was stunned and directly shoved the hoe in his hand into the hands of the person next to him, "Feng Ting, I'll leave the land to you first. I have something to do."

"Ah? Oh, okay!" Feng Ting took the tools, but didn't ask any more questions. She just replied obediently, "Leave it to me, Sister Xiaoci!"

Qiu Ci had already run to the thatched hut on the other side. It seemed that her life in the countryside was about to end.

As soon as she entered the house, a barrier was instantly opened, isolating all the breath and sound in the house. A familiar small ball of light flew towards her and circled around her excitedly.

"Master, Master, I finally deciphered the contents of the scales. You'll never guess what this is."

Qiu Ci took two quick steps and picked up the still-warm green scale from the corner of the table. The system's little light ball had been squatting over it, deciphering it for nearly two months. It was so encrypted that even the system took so long to decipher it. It was truly unimaginable what kind of important information it could be.

She looked closely at the scales, which hadn't changed much, except that they seemed a bit brighter. She asked directly, "What exactly is written on them?"

[It’s an agreement, an agreement made over 20,000 years ago!]

"Agreement?" Qiu Ci was stunned. He had originally thought that something so encrypted must be some advanced technology or special technique, or even a treasure map. He didn't expect it to be just an agreement. "What agreement?"

[This is a peace agreement signed between Blue Star and the alien race. The full name is: "Agreement on Peaceful Coexistence and Mutual Assistance between the Two Races!"]

"Two tribes, which two tribes? Project the contents of the agreement on the screen for me to see."

[Okay, Master!] The small ball of light flashed, and instantly a beam of white light shot out, revealing a light screen in front.

Qiu Ci took a closer look and saw a large amount of agreement content flashing across the screen. It was in the Chinese characters she was familiar with, and each item was listed clearly. Upon closer inspection, there were actually dozens of pages of content.

These included, but were not limited to, treaties of respect, mutual assistance, and non-aggression and interference, and the wording was very similar to what she could hear on Blue Star at 7:30 every night.

It really is a standard peace agreement!
　Happy New Year everyone~~~
