Chapter 61: Changes in Acupoints

On this day, the sky above the small valley where Bu Gong was sitting cross-legged suddenly seemed to be blown by a breeze, and then the originally light and lingering white mist gradually rolled up; from the overall perspective, it seemed as if it was bound by a suction force coming from the center of the small valley, and then gathered towards the central part of the valley.The scenery was so ethereal and beautiful, and the source of the white mist was precisely a figure in red sitting cross-legged by a small river in the middle of the valley. The mist gradually thickened around the figure, who looked like an old monk in meditation, until his entire figure was looming in the increasingly thick mist.If you observe closely, you will find that Bu Gong is still sitting with his eyes closed, but the mist surrounding him seems to have found a source of venting, and all of them gather towards Bu Gong, and then continue to drill into various parts of his body.The most conspicuous among them were the Baihui acupoints on Bu Gong’s head and his mouth and nose; all three places faintly condensed into a relatively conspicuous but slightly illusory thumb-thick mist column, each of which quickly drilled in like a thin snake.This situation lasted for about a quarter of an hour before it gradually showed a sign of weakening; and although Bu Gong was still sitting quietly with his eyes closed, he was actually feeling a little ecstasy and a faint sense of disbelief in his heart.Because at this moment, he was slowly scanning every acupoint and meridian in his body with shock in his mind; he saw that at this moment, there was a trace of imperceptible purple on the surface of the acupoints in his body, and the size was completely different from before, directly twice as large as before.Moreover, the firmness of the acupoints is incomparable to before, and the strength and flexibility seem to have increased significantly compared to before; although it has only increased slightly, it is important to understand that this is the most fragile acupoint in the human body.For ordinary cultivators, the strength and size of the acupoints in their bodies will only gradually increase and expand as their cultivation level gradually improves. This is a gradual and natural result for high-level cultivators.Every time their cultivation level improves a little, the meridians and acupoints in their bodies will be strengthened one or two levels higher than before; but under normal circumstances, their acupoints and meridians will not undergo such changes.Of course, unless they have some other adventures; but at other times, if they want to expand or strengthen the meridians and acupoints in their bodies, it is absolutely impossible unless their cultivation level is also improved.Moreover, for cultivators in the above situation, their cultivation must be at least at the Peeping Yuan Realm; as for cultivators in the Body Shaping Stage, it is purely a process of opening up the acupoints in the body, not to mention expanding and increasing its strength, which are too far away from them.Of course, for someone like Bu Gong, we can only say that he is extremely lucky. It is estimated that there are not many people like him in the world of immortal cultivation. At this moment, Bu Gong was closely checking the condition inside his body, and the joy in his heart was self-evident.He didn’t expect that the secret method casually passed on to him by the evil spirit in his mind would be so against the will of heaven. This was a bit beyond his expectations. Of course, if he wanted Bu Gong to have a little affection or gratitude towards the evil spirit just by relying on this, it would be absolutely impossible.Because he knew one thing very well: there is no free food in the world, and it is even more impossible for the evil spirit to be so kind; this is just a deal between the two of them.At the same time, what Bu Gong didn’t know was that the evil spirit in his mind at this moment had a sad face, as if it had eaten a fly; and from the looks of it, it seemed that it was slightly more illusory as a whole, but it was not noticeable yet.It was seen that the evil spirit was shouting in Bu Gong’s mind at this time; but Bu Gong seemed not to hear it, still closing his eyes and concentrating on checking the condition of his body, as if he was not disturbed.This really pissed off the evil spirit trapped in his mind; because ever since Bu Gong obtained the Shattered Aperture Nirvana Star Art and started to activate this secret technique, he had unknowingly and independently absorbed the life energy of the evil spirit trapped in his mind, which made it easier for him to practice this secret technique.What he didn’t know was that during the half month he had been in deep meditation, an inexplicable aura had been continuously emerging from the ground in this small valley and then merged into his body, making the magic power in his body flow more smoothly and greatly reducing some of the original blockage.This accelerated the speed of his secret technique and also greatly shortened the time required for the transformation of his acupoints.You know, during this period Bu Gong was almost in a state of deep meditation; and in this state, it was difficult for any external situation to affect him, which was equivalent to temporarily isolating himself from all external factors.This also made the evil spirit in his mind cry out to heaven and earth but no one responded, and Bu Gong sucked away its life energy for half a month; and the amount absorbed in this half month was far greater than ever before, almost equivalent to the amount absorbed in the past two or three months. This phenomenon almost made the evil spirit vomit blood in anger, but he could do nothing and could only watch helplessly.”Humble ant, boy, don’t fall into my hands again, or I’ll treat you well…” The sealed evil spirit kept muttering. When he finally realized that Bu Gong had just exited his cultivation state, he breathed a sigh of relief, then rolled his eyes helplessly: “Is this what I deserve? This is damn…”After a moment, Bu Gong’s mind slowly left his body and then returned, and then his eyes, which had been closed just now, opened at this moment; a gleam of light flashed in the depths of his pupils, and a purple color passed by, and the whole person gave people a feeling of being full of energy and reborn.”Hey… this Shattered Aperture Nirvana Star Art is really not fake, it is indeed very powerful.” Bu Gong murmured in a low voice, and a smile appeared on his face; then he stretched lazily, took a few breaths of air, and his originally tense body slowly relaxed at this time.”This time it’s a blessing in disguise” This thought flashed through his mind, and Bu Gong pursed his lips slightly; and at this moment, he was startled as if he realized something, and then he closed his eyes again.At this time, Bu Gong had already sunk his consciousness into his mind and appeared in front of the sealed evil spirit; looking at the evil spirit sealed in the ball of black lines in front of him, Bu Gong felt a little emotional in his heart and was no longer as nervous as before.Because after this incident, he discovered that the inexplicable black line in his body was very strange and powerful; the vicious evil spirit could not escape at all.Otherwise, the evil spirit should have escaped long ago while he was using the secret technique to transform his acupoints, and it would be impossible for it to be trapped in his mind now.”Boy? Have you enjoyed the past half month?” Just as Bu Gong was distracted, a sinister voice suddenly came from the black thread ball. At the same time, Bu Gong was also brought back to his senses by this voice, and then subconsciously responded: “Of course, it was quite enjoyable. That secret technique is really powerful.”When the evil spirit heard Bu Gong’s answer, he was stunned for a moment and had to hold back the next sentence he had prepared.After a few breaths, the evil spirit in the black ball suddenly began to move: “You, ah… you make me angry, you kid, you really make me angry too…””Don’t you know that during the past half month since you entered into meditation, you have been absorbing my life energy every moment? Every time your life energy is reduced, my remaining soul will disappear faster. Don’t you know that?”At this moment, Bu Gong was stunned for a moment by the evil spirit’s continuous and gurgling words; he did not expect that he had been in a state of meditation for half a month, and he was still absorbing the other party’s life energy every moment, which made a trace of embarrassment flash across his face.”Ahem…well, I didn’t know either. As the saying goes, ignorance is innocence. It’s just that I’m short of a little life energy. I can make it up later. Why are you making such a fuss?” Bu Gong also coughed dryly and said slowly.As Bu Gong finished speaking, the evil spirit finally calmed down; it was not known whether it was angry with Bu Gong or what, but it stopped cursing.”Hey, what’s wrong with you?” Seeing that the other party didn’t speak, Bu Gong asked tentatively; after all, the fact that he could still talk to the other party intact was almost all thanks to the evil spirit. Generally speaking, it could be regarded as saving his life, so Bu Gong didn’t want to repay kindness with evil.After a moment, a faint voice sounded in Bu Gong’s mind: “Nothing, boy, stop absorbing my life energy, otherwise my soul will not last for more than a few years.””Hmm?” Bu Gong’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He pondered for a moment and then said, “I can’t seem to control this, right? You know that I absorbed your life energy as you said, but I didn’t even notice it myself. How can I stop it?” Having said that, Bu Gong curled his lips helplessly.
