Chapter 27: Exchange

  The day after tomorrow is the boundary of the pre-heavenly realm, and the pre-heavenly martial artist cultivates a higher level of power - true energy, which is different from the internal energy cultivated by the post-heavenly martial artist.

  The cultivation upgrade of a congenital martial artist requires the accumulation and refinement of true energy, just like the need to accumulate internal energy and open up the meridians in the postnatal boundary. The absence of either is unacceptable.

  In everyone's body, there are countless acupoints, but through the research of generations of outstanding martial artists from ancient times to the present, it is known that there are 365 acupoints.

  Among the 365 acupoints, there are 81 particularly important ones that can be considered as main acupoints. For the Xiantian Wu Zhe's cultivation, these 81 acupoints are indispensable.

  Congenital Martial Artist, can already preliminarily sense the existence of Heaven and Earth's Primordial Qi, and can absorb these wandering Primordial Qi between Heaven and Earth into their body to enhance their cultivation.

  However, the primordial energy of heaven and earth contains impurities, which need to be refined through a process equivalent to filtration before they can be transformed into true energy that can be absorbed by martial artists. That indispensable step of filtration requires the use of acupoints.

  Like the postnatal realm, the prenatal realm also has some unorthodox or prenatal techniques that can skip the step of refining and opening up the acupoints, directly absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth to enhance their cultivation, which will be much faster. Without a doubt, this kind of technique is equally fraught with endless troubles.

  Congenital martial artist, refined and transformed 99 eight-one acupoints, cultivated to the congenital tenth layer, if one can comprehend the bridge between heaven and earth, immediately shed the old shell and ascend to the realm of profound Tao.

  "The original boundaries and levels are so many, just like the layered stairs of a precious tower. Now, I am only at the very bottom, and I don't know in what year or month I can become a profound Dao realm."

  These words of martial arts boundaries made Zhao's blood boil with excitement, and at the moment of turbulent emotions, he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

  Corresponding to the realm and level of a martial artist, Zhao Ji accurately analyzed that at present, his internal energy cultivation should be in the second layer of acquired state. It is estimated that it won't take long before he can impact the third layer of acquired state.

  "The realm of the profound way is still too far away, recently my goal is to be able to break into the prenatal realm."

  A faint smile appeared on his face, and Wei Wuyi also sighed.

  This sentence roughly reveals Wei Wuyi's cultivation situation, and he should be a top-notch martial artist, not far from impacting the Pre-Heavenly Boundary.

  "Right, Brother Wei, from what you said, our village on the Divine Turtle Island should be quite remote, and few people in the martial arts world come here. You've actually managed to find this place, I'm afraid it's not just for sightseeing."

  Wei Wuyi didn't seem so simple after all, perhaps with an unusual purpose. At first, it wasn't easy to ask, but now that the conversation was going smoothly, Zhao Ji finally couldn't help but ask.

  Zhao Ji's question made Wei Wuyi, who had been speaking eloquently, suddenly fall silent. His face, which had been radiant with enthusiasm, turned serious, and he became completely absorbed in thought.

  After a moment of silence, just when Zhao was about to be unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, Wei Wuyi finally spoke again, saying solemnly: "Actually, this time I came to Zengjiacun and its surroundings, apart from following the usual tour, my more important purpose is to find something. However, this is a private matter of mine, it's not good to say it out loud, and I hope you brothers can understand."

  Although it means refusing to answer, Wei Wuyi said so straightforwardly that it wouldn't make anyone feel uncomfortable in their heart, but rather would give a very open-minded and upright feeling.

  "Understand, understand."

  "Since it's Wei brother's private matter, let's just drop it."

  "Alright, let's continue discussing martial arts then."

  Ding Dian, Tian Hong and Yuan Chengzhi nodded one after another, expressing their understanding. Even Zhao Ji could only nod in agreement.

  The latter half of the night flew by quickly as several people exchanged insights and techniques on martial arts, without any feeling at all. The dark sky had already been cracked open a line, with a sliver of daylight falling down.

  Five people sat at a table, really communicating with each other were Wei Wuxian, Ding Zhen, Tian Heng and Yuan Chonghui, as for Zhao Ji, due to his limited knowledge in martial arts, he rarely spoke up, mostly just listening.

  Among the four, Wei Wuyi's cultivation is the highest, suspected to be a top-notch martial artist, and has seen and known more, with an unparalleled understanding of martial arts among the four.

  Yuan Chengzhi has profound internal power, and his body is well-equipped. He has extensively studied the strengths of various schools, and his understanding and insight into martial arts are not inferior to others. Especially in terms of martial arts techniques, he surpasses Wei Wuyi by a margin.

  Tian Hong's cultivation is the lowest among the four, but his insight into martial arts theory is not much inferior to that of Wei Wuxie and Yuan Chengzhi. Moreover, in terms of technique application, he is even ahead of others.

  Ding Dian was quite proficient in the Divine Illumination Scripture, but in other aspects, he was rather mediocre. His martial arts skills were nothing special, and there wasn't a single one that could be considered top-notch.

  However, in the past half month, Ding Dian has been studying the ultimate skill of divine movement and transformation with Zhao Ji, and has made some small achievements, greatly improving his strength.

  In charge of the hall, all kinds of top martial arts are easy to come by. Zhao Ji is unlikely to learn from Ge Langtai's stingy ghost or follow some kind of door-to-door vision, and can increase his good friend's strength by one point, why not?

  When the sun first rose, and the first ray of sunlight shone down, the sky was bright, and Wei Wuyi, who had been sitting quietly, stood up. He bowed to Zhao Ji and the others with a smile, saying: "Brother Yuan, Brother Ding, Master Tianhong, Brother Zhao, I'm delighted to have had such a long conversation tonight. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and I must take my leave now. Perhaps we'll meet again someday."

  "Brother Wei, why must you leave in such a hurry? Why not stay in Zengjiacun for a while longer? We can continue to exchange martial arts like we did last night."

  Yuan Chengzhi sincerely invited him to stay.

  After a long conversation, Zhao and the others gained some understanding of the Heavenly Realm, learned about the division of martial arts realms, and broadened their horizons. For now, let's not mention these things; just the inspiration they received in terms of martial arts made them reluctant to leave.

  "I won't be able to stay, although I also want to stay and continue to exchange and study martial arts with you. Yesterday, you gave me a lot of inspiration, let me know many new and interesting martial arts theories, and noticed some things that I had neglected in my previous studies, it can be said that I benefited greatly. If possible, I really want to stay for a while, but I really have something urgent, very urgent, that I must leave."

  Although his face showed a lot of emotions and he was reluctant to leave, Wei Wuyi's attitude towards leaving was very resolute.

  "In that case, we can't force anyone either, so let's just say we'll meet again someday."

  Yuan Chengzhi couldn't help but feel a sense of regret and said reluctantly.

  "Brother Wei, have a good trip, if you have time in the future, you are welcome to come to Zengjiacun again as a guest."

  Zhao bid farewell with clasped hands.
