In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 10: It's just that they weren't the ones she favored.

After calming Gu Shao down, Miejue slowly spoke.

"Golden peaks burn with clouds, ivory pools sink with the moon, gentleness transforms into fierceness, nine cycles become yang, qi flows through the Ren meridian, transforming into the illusory fire of the dantian, the triple burner guides the flow of springs."

If it were Zhao Jingxuan or the others, Miejue might have recited it a few more times.

Having witnessed Gu Shaoan's memory, Miejue only read the first level of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill" once before asking, "Have you memorized it all?"

Gu Shaoan replied, "This disciple has noted it all down."

Miejue nodded: "Your internal energy has just been condensed, and you don't have enough control over it. You should try to practice the Emei Nine Yang Skill now. If you have any problems, I can help you immediately."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoan didn't waste any words. He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to circulate the internal energy in his dantian using the first level of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill".

The human body is mysterious. If the eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians in the body are like the Yellow River, then there are hundreds and thousands of hidden meridians that branch out and spread throughout the body.

Different internal energy cultivation methods involve different hidden meridians, and the meridians and acupoints that need to be opened are also different.

This is why the characteristics of internal energy differ depending on the cultivation method of internal energy cultivation.

The "Emei Nine Yang Skill" originated from the "Nine Yang Manual" and was further developed by Emei Grandmaster Guo Xiang in her later years by combining it with her own martial arts. It is profound and mysterious, and its practice path is naturally complex.

When Gu Shaoan circulated his internal energy, he felt that his internal energy was moving as slowly as a snail crawling.

If it were someone else, upon discovering how difficult cultivation is, they would inevitably become discouraged, their internal energy would be interrupted due to restlessness, and they would have to start their cultivation all over again.

However, Gu Shaoan was calm and composed, and he knew the profoundness of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill", so he was able to remain calm.

Even though the internal energy circulated very slowly within his body, Gu Shaoan still did not feel the slightest bit agitated.

It took Gu Shaoan a full half hour to successfully control his internal energy and circulate it through the first level of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill".

After circulating his internal energy through his body according to the internal energy cultivation method, Gu Shaoan's internal energy not only increased by a bit, but the feeling he got from this internal energy also changed.

They seemed to transform into two small flames, becoming even hotter.

It is precisely because of the changes brought about by the "Emei Nine Yang Skill" that this has changed.

[Beginner level of "Emei Nine Yang Skill", Achievement Points +10.]

After the internal energy has circulated through the energy channel once, it will be much faster from here on out.

The time required for the second cycle of internal energy circulation had been significantly reduced, and the internal energy had increased by two more strands.

By the third lap, the running time had been shortened to the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and four strands of internal energy had been added.

By evening, after nearly two hours of continuous cultivation, dozens of strands of internal energy began to flow within Gu Shaoan's body.

Within the dantian, dozens of strands of primordial internal energy moved like small fish biting their tails.

But at that moment, Gu Shaoan suddenly felt a slight stinging pain in his meridians, which made him frown slightly.

At the same time, a surge of energy suddenly flowed into Gu Shaoan's shoulder.

Under the influence of these energies, the internal force circulating within Gu Shaoan's body was also suppressed and returned to his dantian.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Miejue had one hand on his shoulder, her eyes smiling.

Seeing that Gu Shaoan had opened his eyes, Miejue asked, "Did you feel any discomfort in your meridians just now?"

Gu Shaoan nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Extinction explained: "The flow of internal energy requires the meridians as a carrier, but the meridians in the human body are weak. If the flow is excessive, it will damage the meridians."

"You are still young, and your meridians are even weaker. As you grow older and your internal energy is tempered, your meridians will be able to support the flow of internal energy for longer and longer. You just need to proceed step by step."

Finally, Miejue changed the subject, saying, "Now get up and look into the distance." Although Gu Shaoan was somewhat confused, he still stood up and looked into the distance as Miejue instructed.

"Ok?"

Gu Shaoan quickly sensed that something was wrong.

As he looked into the distance, Gu Shaoan discovered that his eyesight had actually improved slightly.

With his gaze fixed on the grass a meter away, Gu Shaoan could even see the veins on the grass.

Although Gu Shaoan had good eyesight before, he could never have done this much.

Moreover, with each breath, Gu Shaoan felt the air was even fresher, and the sound of flowing water in his ears became even clearer.

At this moment, Miejue spoke again: "In martial arts competition, the five senses come first. When facing an enemy, the senses are of utmost importance. If you can't even see the enemy's moves clearly, how can you talk about how to deal with them?"

"Therefore, all martial artists need to temper their five senses, and tempering the five senses can be divided into external and internal methods."

“There are many external methods of training, such as eye perception. One method is to place incense sticks on both sides of the temples to stabilize the head, and then flicker the candle flame so that the eyes follow the flame to temper the eye perception.”

"Those who cultivate internal energy do not need to go through such trouble."

Ancient texts state: "The Liver Meridian of Foot Jueyin connects to the eye system; the tendons of Foot Shaoyang branch out to the outer canthus of the eye, forming the outer meridian that extends to the forehead. The eyes are the messengers of the heart, and the heart is the abode of the spirit." The heart governs blood vessels, and the eyes can see only when they receive blood. Therefore, as a martial artist continuously cultivates their internal energy to nourish the corresponding meridians, they can enhance their five senses.

"The Emei Nine Yang Skill is profound and involves many meridians and hidden meridians. As the skill improves, the corresponding meridians and acupoints are opened, which can greatly enhance the five senses."

"When facing an enemy, no matter how fast their moves are, we can detect them immediately."

"However, these will need to be combined with appropriate training methods in the future to further enable you to master the five senses."

Gu Shaoan suddenly realized why martial artists react much faster than ordinary people.

This is where the value of a good mentor becomes apparent.

The things that Miejue told Gu Shaoan weren't particularly profound, but they were the foundation and common sense of cultivation.

If one is untrained and unaware of these things, they may not even understand how their own improvement came about.

Seeing that Miejue was explaining the basics of cultivation to Gu Shaoan in detail, Zhao Jingxuan and the others tactfully left quietly.

Looking at the distant Miejue, who still wore a gentle expression in front of Gu Shaoan.

Zhou Zhiruo, who was resting in the distance, rested her chin on her knees and said with a hint of envy, "Master is really gentle with Junior Brother Gu."

Thinking back to when I became Miejue's disciple, every time I saw her, she always had a stern and unsmiling expression that made me feel intimidated.

In his daily cultivation, he was almost always taught by his three senior sisters.

But in front of Gu Shaoan, Miejue was like a gentle elder in the family, with an appreciative and satisfied smile on her face, and her attitude and tone were gentle. She taught him for an hour without showing any impatience.

Hearing Zhou Zhiruo's words, Zhao Jingxuan, Ding Minjun, and Bei Jinyi couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Miejue, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Not to mention Zhou Zhiruo, even the three of them had never been treated as gently as Miejue in the past few years.

Even if one's cultivation level has improved or one has completed the sect's mission, it is extremely rare for someone to simply grunt or nod and say "not bad."

Over time, they all came to believe that Miejue always treated everyone with a cold and aloof demeanor.

Only now do they realize that Extinction is not like that to everyone; it's just that Extinction doesn't favor them.

For a moment, Zhao Jingxuan and Zhou Zhiruo, along with the others, looked at the master and disciple outside the bamboo courtyard in the distance, and all felt a little jealous.
