Chapter 64: The Path of Cultivation

In the bathroom, in the bathtub, he felt the warm water washing over his skin, while at the same time sensing the trajectory of the energons circulating within his body.

There was no doubt that after experiencing the life-and-death battle yesterday, Su Xuan’s cultivation stage had already broken through to the Initial Form.

Under the nourishment and guidance of Su Chen’s energons last night, his originally unstable foundation had stabilized somewhat.

But this did not mean that Su Xuan no longer needed to consolidate his foundation.

Especially the final symbol of breaking through to the Initial Form—the external release of energons.

Since his mastery of the external release of energons was comprehended in a hurry, it lacked a deep foundation.

This led to a consistently low utilization rate of energons in the previous battle.

He had to use one, or even two to three times the amount of energons to finally withstand Yao Chen’s offensive.

Of course, there were reasons such as the energons nourishing his body, but the low utilization rate of energons was an undeniable fact.

“Initiation, Reception, Transformation, and Combination” was, in fact, the entire process of the body’s utilization of energons.

If each step could be mastered in depth, even if the utilization rate didn’t reach one hundred percent, reaching eighty percent was still hopeful.

One had to know that the growth of strength and the growth of energon utilization rate did not present a simple linear relationship.

Sometimes, an increase of five or six percent in energon utilization rate could double one’s strength.

After entering the Initial Form, there would be cultivation focuses specific to that stage.

After knowing that his little brother had already entered the Initial Form, due to a lack of sufficient preparation, Su Chen had not left any useful materials to guide Su Xuan’s subsequent cultivation last night.

However, at noon, Su Chen had specially sent Su Xuan an email with information about Initial Form cultivation.

The bathroom was filled with steam, and the air was misty.

In the bathtub, a pair of long, fair hands reached out of the water.

Slender fingers slid across a screen that was emitting a halo of light.

If an ordinary office worker were to see this, his little brother would surely get a boner that wouldn’t go down.

At this moment, Su Xuan was lying in the bathtub, reading a book about the cultivation problems of the Initial Form stage.

At the Initial Form, the main direction of cultivation was opening the acupoints!

What were acupoints?

Acupoints were, in fact, like small energon chambers, formed in the human body in a peculiar way.

The formation points of acupoints were mostly at the intersection of blood vessels or the location of important organs, which were important physiological locations.

After an acupoint was formed, due to its ability to store energons, it would radiate a high-intensity of energons to its surroundings, which could quickly strengthen the body.

During battle, the existence of acupoints could also promote the body’s utilization of energons, and there were also peculiar connections between acupoints.

And the specificity brought about by these peculiar connections was one of the foundations for advancing to the Second Form.

There were a total of three hundred and sixty acupoints, of which thirty-six were major acupoints, and three hundred and twenty-four were minor acupoints.

Each major acupoint was surrounded by nine minor acupoints, presenting an overall flat, three-leaf clover shape.

In fact, everyone had already opened one acupoint when they first entered the Initial Form, which was the energon chamber, or the heart acupoint.

Among the thirty-six major acupoints in the human body, four were not bilaterally symmetrical: the heart acupoint, the upper dantian acupoint, the spine acupoint, and the heavenly passage acupoint.

Among them, the upper dantian acupoint was located at the center of the eyebrows, the spine acupoint was at the core of the spine, and the heavenly passage acupoint was at the perineum.

The remaining thirty-two acupoints basically followed the principle of bilateral symmetry.

The location of the acupoints had to be explored by oneself.

Although the written text told you the approximate location of the acupoints, it did not mean that you knew where they were.

You had to discover their existence through repeated washing with energons and your own repeated exploration.

Right now, Su Xuan was perfecting the heart acupoint located in his heart.

How to determine the degree of perfection of an acupoint largely depended on how many minor acupoints were opened.

Just because there were nine minor acupoints did not mean you could definitely open all nine of them.

Generally speaking, being able to open nine minor acupoints meant that you had extraordinary abilities in a certain aspect.

For example, if the acupoints in your legs opened nine minor acupoints, it meant that your leg strength was exceptionally astonishing.

Therefore, at the Initial Form, the differentiation of specializations would be particularly obvious, largely due to the opening and use of acupoints.

He put down his phone and sat up from the bathtub.

Closing his eyes slightly, he perceived the transformation of energons step by step.

Su Xuan continuously improved his control over energons, while at the same time sensing the strange fluctuations in the important parts of his body.

After a long time, the sky slowly changed from dusk to night.

The bright lights of the city lit up around him, and Su Xuan also stepped out of the bathroom wearing a white, misty gauze bathrobe.

The soft, white-mist-like bathrobe enveloped his delicate body, and his long, fair legs were completely exposed to the air.

The faint concealment aroused the desires in human genes more than complete nudity.

It was a pity that no one could appreciate such a beautiful sight.

In the empty room, Su Xuan walked with graceful steps and slowly lay down on the bed, gradually falling asleep under the starry sky.

The familiar gray mist slowly rose, and he once again arrived in that virtual world.

But the feeling was completely different from before.

Su Xuan’er’s figure was gone from the space, and in her place was an ice-blue blade.

On it were mysterious and powerful patterns.

Through the beautiful patterns, the surface of the blade below was like an ice-blue mirror.

The blade turned, and the surface faced Su Xuan.

At this moment, Su Xuan clearly saw his own reflection on the blade’s surface.

Half of it was himself, and the other half was Su Xuan’er.
