Transmigration begins with archery training

The power of a martial artist at the Transformation Realm is entirely generated by consuming Qi and Blood. While its offensive power far exceeds that of Qi and Blood, the consumption of Qi and Blood is also enormous, almost three times that of the Refining Organs Realm.

Once the Qi and blood are depleted, the internal strength cannot be generated. Therefore, many martial artists who have mastered internal strength will not use their internal strength on the battlefield unless they are fighting desperately. Instead, they will continue to use their Qi and blood to kill the enemy until they encounter an evenly matched opponent.

Chen Sanshi was just too persistent and never had this concern.

However, once martial artists reach the Meridian Opening Realm, things are very different. They can fill all twelve meridians on a normal day, enough to last for a long time at once. On the battlefield, it would take many lives to fight them all to the last drop.

The initial stage of "Tongmai Xiaocheng" involves learning to circulate internal energy throughout the meridians, thereby opening up the twenty-four minor meridians and further enhancing the strength and purity of the energy.

The ultimate achievement is to open up the eight extraordinary meridians.

Once you reach the Great Perfection stage, you no longer need to use Qi and blood to generate power. Instead, you can directly generate power continuously through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. The duration and intensity of this power depend on how solid your foundation is, or in other words, on your constitution.

Starting from the Meridian Opening Realm

Only then did martial artists truly begin to move towards the profound and mysterious, rather than simply relying on physical strength.

"Om-"

As Chen Sanshi brandished his spear, he clearly felt that starting from his feet, some kind of mechanism within his body was being opened one after another—the acupoints of the human body.

There are 720 acupoints, and they are not opened one by one.

Instead, it was through constant practice that, when breaking through the bottleneck, all the acupoints were opened at once, each opening causing excruciating pain, a torment that lasted for a full seven hundred and twenty times.

His acupoints were finally opened, and streams of energy rushed into his twelve major meridians.

If.

If martial artists before this used their internal strength as a weapon.

From this moment on, the internal energy is completely integrated with the martial artist!

The martial artist himself is the weapon!

"Finally a breakthrough."

[Technique: Dragon Spear of National Defense - Meridian Opening (Beginner)]

【Progress: 0/500】

[Effect: When strength is integrated into the body, and the body into the weapon, the three become one, making one invincible]

Impeccable!

Unless it's a pure crushing defeat in strength, relying solely on techniques won't reveal any flaws.

Chen Sanshi planted his spear upside down in the ground: "After opening my meridians, I am now worthy of the position of adjutant general."

As a lieutenant general in the elite battalion, which is the Meridian Opening Realm, he was no longer appointed ahead of schedule and was now in line with the average level.

He closed his eyes and carefully experienced the feeling of the Meridian Opening Realm.

A colorless and formless force flowed through his body, without interfering with the purple incense energy in his meridians.

The meridians in the human body are naturally present.

Although one can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the meridians simply by possessing a spiritual root, cultivating internal strength into the meridians requires daily martial arts practice and a tremendous amount of effort.

One is to draw upon the spirit of heaven and earth.

One is a mortal who defies the will of Heaven.

This is probably what it means to attain enlightenment through martial arts.

After putting away his spear, Chen Sanshi went to the pharmacy to refine medicine. He had mastered the technique of using internal energy to temper medicine, and he could basically reach the limit of his current level every time. Moreover, it had become muscle memory, so he basically did not need to think about it anymore.

"Om-"

Soon, a batch of highly nourishing medicine to help martial artists improve their cultivation was refined. The aroma of the medicine wafted through the furnace and then spread throughout the entire room.

[Skill: Medicine. Basic (Minor Success)]

【Progress: 0/2000】

[Effect: ..., Master Alchemist]

[Master Alchemist: The refined medicine retains only a trace of poison]

One percent!

The medicinal herbs that Chen Sanshi brewed had only 10% residual poison, allowing him to skip the first-class level and directly enter the grandmaster level!

this means.

Originally, due to the depletion of residual toxins, a martial artist could only drink one bowl of medicinal herbs every three days at most. Now, they can drink two to three bowls. Just imagine how significant this will be in accelerating their cultivation.

"grown ups!"

After Zhao Kang entered, he was ordered to drink the medicine, but immediately sensed something was wrong: "Sir, the medicine you brewed is even more potent than the medicine brewed by Commander Jiang and the others, and it seems to have less residual poison!"

"No need to make a fuss, just call over everyone above the Bone Refinement level, I'll cook some for them too."

"Yes!"

soon.

There were more than a dozen people gathered in the room, and after they drank the medicine, they all showed incredulous expressions.

It's just an ordinary tonic, but its effects are indescribable.

"From today onwards, you shall concentrate on your cultivation."

Chen Sanshi instructed, "I will brew medicine for you according to each person's highest digestive capacity. If your own share is not enough, I will pay for it for you. Within a month, I want five more of you to reach the Internal Organ Refinement stage, and within six months, at least one to reach the Transformation Stage. Can you do that?"

"Don't worry, sir!"

Liu Jinkui assured, "With this medicine, I can break through to the Refinement of Organs in at most half a month."

"I can do it too!"

"Me too!"

Many of them were already at the peak of bone cultivation.

"Thank you, sir!"

As they spoke, everyone knelt down on one knee, expressing their heartfelt gratitude.

These people...

They're a bunch of good-for-nothings, yet they've managed to stay alive until now.

Where can you find a boss who personally brews medicine and even pays for the herbs?

"Why haven't I seen Xu Wencai these past two days?"

Chen Sanshi was busy breaking through to the Meridian Opening Realm, so he didn't ask.

"You still don't know, sir?"

Zhao Kang frowned: "That guy surnamed Xu was transferred, a couple of days ago..."

They recounted what had happened.

"Sir, it's one thing for Xu Wencai to put on airs..."

Feng Yong said, "He's about to leave, and he didn't even come to say goodbye?"

"Pooh!"

Wu Da cursed, "That old bastard, if it weren't for the adults, what would he be? When he joined the army, he was supposed to be forced to build the city wall, and he might have been buried right there on it!"

"..."

Chen Sanshi didn't rush to speak.

He was analyzing what he heard in his mind.

A third-rank commander, plus the title of Crouching Dragon...

That's a pretty harsh ban.

It seems the emperor truly intends to groom Xu Wencai as the next Fang Qingyun, and a more manageable one at that. His current position as a third-rank commander is probably just the beginning; if he can achieve something in Youzhou, he will rise even higher.

'I underestimated the imperial court's intelligence capabilities.'

In his memorial, Chen Sanshi detailed Xu Wencai's military achievements since joining the army, but since Xu Wencai lacked independent merit, he didn't dare directly request the title "Sleeping Dragon." He planned to grant him an official position first and then proceed gradually. After all, sometimes setting him too high at once isn't a good thing, especially if he remained in the Eight Great Camps. If the other camps heard that a mere adjutant general like Chen Sanshi had a "Sleeping Dragon" under his command, they would surely cause a ruckus, as it would be somewhat demeaning to Fang Qingyun…
