Chapter 89 Zhu Zhuqing: Take it off now?! The teachings of Emperor Lu! So alluring!
"Good."
Zhu Zhuqing sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and quickly got into the zone.
Black light surged around her, and the phantom of a ghostly cat loomed behind her.
She held her breath and focused her mind, using meditation to capture the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and then using her martial spirit to transform it into her own soul power.
The entire process was smooth and seamless, clearly the result of rigorous training.
However, Lu Ming shook his head.
"It's too rough."
Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes and looked at Lu Ming with some confusion.
Too rough?
She was somewhat unconvinced, "This is the 'Spirit Cat Meditation Method' that has been passed down in our Zhu family for hundreds of years. It is an advanced meditation method."
The elders in my family all say there's nothing wrong with my cultivation, so how could it be rough?
Compared to the ubiquitous, continent-wide meditation methods of Shrek Academy, the Zhu family's tradition is undoubtedly far more profound.
This is something she has always been proud of.
Lu Ming walked up to her and looked down at her.
"Your meditation method can greatly increase cultivation speed in the early stages, making the soul power circulate more quickly."
However, it has a fatal flaw: it puts too much strain on the meridians.
"Do you often feel a faint stinging sensation in your meridians after practicing for a long time?"
Furthermore, once you reach the Soul Venerable realm, no matter how hard you try, your cultivation speed will decrease significantly compared to before?
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils suddenly contracted.
All correct!
She always thought these were normal reactions during cultivation, since you have to endure hardship to become stronger.
But now that Lu Ming had pointed it out, she realized the seriousness of the problem.
"That's true... but aren't all meditation methods pretty much the same?"
Meditation is meant to aid cultivation, making it easier to perceive the primordial energy of heaven and earth, rather than directly increasing cultivation speed. Zhu Zhuqing humbly sought guidance.
"That's because you haven't seen enough."
Lu Ming said calmly, "The human body is a huge treasure trove, and meridians and acupoints are the keys to unlocking that treasure trove."
Without understanding the secrets of acupoints and meridians, relying solely on brute force to absorb vital energy is like trying to fill a basket with water—a waste of effort.
"Stand up."
Zhu Zhuqing got up as instructed.
Lu Ming's gaze swept over her before he said, "Take off your outer clothes."
"ah?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned.
She looked at Lu Ming, and her usually cool and aloof face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple.
"Now...now?"
She instinctively covered her chest, her voice stammering, "I...I'm not ready..."
Although she had decided to move here and was somewhat prepared, she was even willing to give anything to sever her relationship with Dai Mubai.
But this is progressing way too fast!
You want that right after eating noodles?
Is this what he calls "guidance"?
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's shy yet nervous expression, which also carried a hint of resignation, Lu Ming was speechless.
What are you thinking about?
Lu Ming tapped her on the forehead in an annoyed tone, "I'm going to teach you how to recognize acupoints!"
"The human body has fourteen meridians and three hundred and sixty-one acupoints."
These acupoints hold the secrets of the human body. How can I point out the exact locations of these acupoints to you while you're wearing such a thick leather coat?
"What I'm going to teach you is a top-level technique that accelerates the circulation of soul power by stimulating specific acupoints, while simultaneously nourishing the meridians."
Zhu Zhuqing covered her forehead, wishing she could disappear into the ground after hearing this explanation.
It turns out that my own thoughts were filthy!
"Acupoints? What are those?"
To cover up her embarrassment, Zhu Zhuqing quickly changed the subject, but the blush on her face still hadn't faded.
She had lived in the Douluo Continent for so many years and had never heard of the term "acupoint".
Lu Ming looked at her embarrassed expression and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Acupoints are special points on the meridians of the human body, which are the entry and exit points for the flow of qi and blood. You can think of them as nodes and hubs where the soul power flows in the body."
"Take it off, stop dawdling. We have a competition tomorrow, so tonight I need to make sure you master the basics of this technique."
Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and her fingers trembled as she unbuttoned her leather jacket.
The air in the room felt somewhat hot and dry.
After a long time, the enchanting scenery under the lights was finally concealed again.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, her originally cool and beautiful face now looked like a ripe peach, the blush spreading all the way to her ears, and even her exposed neck was flushed with an alluring pink.
The experience of that night was utterly shameful for her.
"Did you remember everything I just taught you?"
Lu Ming withdrew his hand, his expression calm, as if the hands-on teaching he had just given was truly just a serious academic discussion.
"I... I've remembered them all."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was barely audible; she didn't dare to look up at the man.
When Lu Ming was teaching us about acupoints, he wasn't just talking about them.
The slightest error in acupoint location can lead to disastrous consequences, especially with top-level cultivation techniques like this, where even the slightest mistake is unacceptable.
To ensure everything went perfectly, Lu Ming not only gave her detailed instructions, but also personally corrected her when she was unsure about certain points.
That strange sensation still makes Zhu Zhuqing feel weak all over when she thinks about it.
However, she also understood that Lu Ming truly had no intention of taking advantage of her.
Those eyes were so clear, and every touch was fleeting, revealing the meticulousness with which they corrected mistakes.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, trying to calm her restless heartbeat, and looked up with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
"Then... can we proceed to the next step?"
Lu Ming nodded and, without wasting any words, directly taught her the incantation he had prepared beforehand.
"This technique is called the Innate Skill, and it has nine levels. I will now teach you the first level of mental cultivation."
As Lu Ming narrated, a profound and obscure passage of text was imprinted in Zhu Zhuqing's mind.
Although she came from a prestigious family and had seen many profound books, the shock she felt as she listened to this cultivation technique grew ever stronger.
The ingenuity of the Qi circulation route and the profundity of the explanation of the soul power operation are simply unheard of.
"This...this is too precious!"
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was trembling.
If this level of cultivation technique were to be displayed outside, it would be enough to cause a life-or-death battle among Title Douluo-level powerhouses.
Even the Zhu family or the royal Dai family could never produce something of this caliber.
"Just practice when I give you the opportunity, stop talking so much nonsense."
Lu Ming waved his hand, signaling her to try it quickly.
Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip, said no more, sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate her soul power according to the acupoints and mental techniques that Lu Ming had just pointed out.
She was completely stunned by this operation.
The soul power that had been slowly increasing within his body, like a trickle, was now being drawn by some force, surging joyfully through his meridians.
Those obstacles that were usually difficult to overcome became unstoppable under the influence of the Innate Skill.
