In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 80 Cultivating the Five Senses
The 14th, sunny.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the bamboo hut, Gu Shaoan sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing long and deep, having been in a meditative state for some time.

Within his dantian, the rich internal energy transformed into a warm and smooth "mercury flow," circulating continuously through his twelve regular and extraordinary meridians according to the pathways described in the second level of the Wudang Nine Yang Skill.

Each cycle is like forging a steel blank with a hammer, repeatedly refining and purifying the flowing internal force.

Finally, the "Fengshi" acupoint on the Gallbladder Meridian of Foot-Shaoyang was opened.

In an instant, his dantian trembled violently!
The internal energy, which had been flowing like mercury, instantly became several times clearer, as if turbid water had been filtered of impurities and transformed into pure silver threads, crystal clear, perfectly pure! An unprecedented sense of clarity and purity surged from the dantian to the limbs, bones, and internal organs, as if thoroughly cleansed by the purest nectar!
At the same time, a notification message appeared in Gu Shaoan's mind.

[Congratulations to player "Wudang Nine Yang Skill Level 2" for successfully reaching the Perfect Realm, Achievement Points +500]

Gu Shaoan slowly opened his eyes, a gentle, jade-like glint flashing across his deep gaze before quickly receding.

Feeling the purer, flowing mercury within my body.

"Sure enough, the requirements for the second level of both Wudang Nine Yang Skill and Emei Nine Yang Skill are the same: all you need is abundant internal energy to quickly reach perfection."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Shaoan manipulated the internal energy in his body and began to circulate it according to the route of the third level of the Wudang Nine Yang Skill.

His profound skill and the connection between the two types of Nine Yang Skill made it particularly smooth when his internal energy circulated according to the third level of the Wudang Nine Yang Skill.

Half an hour later, the notification message reappeared in Gu Shaoan's mind.

[Congratulations to the player for reaching the third level of Wudang Nine Yang Skill. Achievement points +10]

The moment the notification appeared, Gu Shaoan also channeled his inner energy back into his dantian.

He then let out a soft sigh.

After practicing the third level of the Emei Nine Yang Skill for half a month, Gu Shaoan has realized that the main purpose of the first two levels of the Emei Nine Yang Skill is to lay the foundation for martial artists and accumulate internal strength.

The key is "accumulation".

However, when you reach the third level of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill", the focus is on "exhaustion".

The internal energy accumulated previously is used to nourish one's own meridians, thereby enhancing the five senses and achieving the effect of sharp hearing and clear vision.

Feeling the pure, flowing Wudang Nine Yang Internal Force within his body, which contained the power of endless life, Gu Shaoan compared it with the essence of the third level of the Emei Nine Yang Skill.

“The first two levels of the Emei Nine Yang Skill are indeed similar to those of the Wudang lineage. They are both about ‘accumulating sand to build a tower.’ They use mental techniques to guide and refine the ‘qi’ to accumulate, like water in a deep valley. The focus is on solidifying the foundation and condensing the purity of internal strength and the thickness of the foundation. This is the essence of ‘accumulation’.” Gu Shaoan understood in his heart, “Without this profound and pure ‘accumulation,’ everything that follows will be like a rootless duckweed.”

However, his experience of practicing the third level of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill" for half a month revealed a completely different direction.

"But the key to this third level... is 'endurance'!"

This "depletion" is definitely not a sign of weakness caused by the exhaustion of internal energy!

On the contrary, it is a more sophisticated and more difficult way of cultivation!
If the first two levels of cultivation are like continuously pouring clear spring water into a pond day and night, carefully filtering it to make it increasingly clear.

Starting from the third level of the Emei Nine Yang Skill, a mysterious "medicinal ingredient" is added to this abundant and extremely pure "spring water." This process continuously and visibly "consumes" the total amount of pure internal energy accumulated in the dantian.

After several days of practice, one might even feel that their "skill has regressed rather than increased," which stems from this very reason.

But this "loss" brings extremely valuable rewards!

Firstly, it nourishes and warms the meridians, leading to a transformation in their resilience and accessibility!

The penetration of internal force is not destruction, but rather the deepest level of nourishment and strengthening. Just as an iron blank that has been forged through countless hammer blows finally begins its final quenching and tempering, the fine meridians and tubes that have been repeatedly washed and penetrated by internal force will become exceptionally tough and elastic, able to withstand even greater and more violent impacts from internal force without being damaged or broken.

More importantly, this gentle nourishment can gradually open up some extremely small and hidden meridian channels, making the overall flow of internal energy smoother and more efficient. This is the prerequisite for internal energy to transform into true qi in the future, so that true qi can also flow freely in the body.

Secondly, it involves cultivating the five senses, leading to an initial leap in the level of perception.

The sensitivity of the five senses—ears, eyes, nose, tongue, and body—is determined by innate talent, but its root lies in the communication between the brain and the vital energy and blood, and the "channels" for this communication are these incredibly subtle meridian networks.

One of the ultimate goals of the internal energy cultivation method of the third level of "Emei Nine Yang Skill" is to guide internal energy to actively nourish itself, which is to strengthen these subtle channels and at the same time nourish the spiritual platform with the essence and blood of the martial artist, thereby achieving the effect of "sharp hearing and clear vision".

Its effect is not simply better eyesight and hearing, but rather an overall improvement in the clarity, sensitivity, and ability to capture subtle information in the perception of the world.

For martial artists, this is tantamount to opening a brand new door to perceive the sharpness of hostility, discern the flaws in moves, and even understand their own key points.

In the martial arts world, the speed at which martial artists react when facing an enemy varies, largely due to this step.

For an ordinary person to cultivate to the third level of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill", it would take at least several years.

Even if one begins cultivation at the age of eleven or twelve when their meridians are initially formed, by the time they are able to cultivate the third level of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill," they will be around fifteen or sixteen years old.

But Gu Shaoan is different.

Gu Shaoan is only eleven years old, but his internal energy is as great as that of twenty-two years, which allows him to instantly reach the perfection of the second level of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill".

In this process, stability is even more crucial.

Otherwise, if you're not careful, you might damage your meridians or even go into qi deviation, and you might become the second Tianshan Child Granny.

Now, after mastering the third level of the Wudang Nine Yang Skill, Gu Shaoan discovered that its effects were also the same.

The only way is to cultivate both types of the Nine Yang Skill to perfection in their third level, thereby enhancing the nourishing effect and accelerating the process.

Suppressing his thoughts, Gu Shaoan focused his attention on his achievements.

Seeing that he had accumulated enough achievement points again, Gu Shaoan had a thought.

The next instant, the achievement lottery wheel popped up in front of Gu Shaoan.

When all the achievement points I had just accumulated were depleted, the lottery wheel in front of me suddenly started spinning.

A few breaths later, as the pointer on the roulette wheel came to a stop, a notification popped up in front of Gu Shaoan.
