Chapter 311: Advancement to Kaimai, and Advancement to the Level of Walking on Snow without Leaving Any Trace
Planting lotus in the fire is a Taoist term, originally used to describe the style of practitioners who can remain unmoved and calm in adversity.
But at the same time, this sentence can also be extended to mean the grand scene of planting lotus step by step in the flames.
Imagine that you are walking through the sea of fire, and a lotus will appear under your feet with every step you take. What a mysterious leg technique this is.
Zhao Ya did not expect that his leg technique would be so successful in advancing.
In his joy, Zhao Ya opened the attribute panel.

After the Chinese New Year, Zhao Ya is one year older. Apart from that, there is not much change in the progress of unlocking all aspects of martial arts, including large and small intestines.
This is also related to Zhao Ya's research on leg skills during this period.
Then Zhao Ya opened the human body outline map again, and saw that the starlight in the dantian was shining, and the Zhongji acupoint below the dantian had also been lit up.
Zhao Ya took a deep breath, then found a flat place away from the wind, and began to practice the Star Swallowing True Power.
It was just after the New Year, and there was no moonlight in the sky, only big stars twinkling.
In this wilderness, Zhao Ya quickly entered a state of meditation.
He felt that the starlight in the sky flowed into his body with his breathing, and then continuously flowed into his Dantian.
Soon, the Star Swallowing True Power that had been stagnant in the Zhongji acupoint began to become active.
Zhao Ya's heart moved slightly, and he guided it with his mind.
In an instant, the Star Swallowing True Power easily broke through the Qugu acupoint, and then came to the perineum sea bottom acupoint.
Zhao Ya's body shook slightly, one because the Qugu acupoint was successfully broken through and refined, and the other because the sea bottom acupoint was touched.
You should know that the sea bottom acupoint is the connection point of the Ren and Du meridians, and it is one of the most secret acupoints in the human body, and it is very important.
Zhao Ya thought that it was good enough to break through the Qugu acupoint this time, but he never expected that the Swallowing Star True Power, which had been weakening after breaking through the Qugu acupoint, suddenly became active again.
The Zhongji and Qugu acupoints, together with the Dantian, lit up together, and with the help of the joint force, the Swallowing Star True Power, which had been stagnant, rushed forward.
There was no sound, Zhao Ya only felt a huge shock all over his body, and then the Haidi acupoint was successfully broken through.
After breaking through two acupoints in a row, the Swallowing Star True Power finally returned to calm.
Then Zhao Ya slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
Although only a moment had passed, his whole body was wet with sweat.
Despite this, Zhao Ya felt an indescribable refreshing feeling, as if even the world in front of him was clear.
When he thought of the scene when he broke through the Haidi acupoint just now, Zhongji and Qugu also worked together to assist, Zhao Ya's heart couldn't help but feel hot.
He originally thought that according to his own cultivation progress, it would be a slow and laborious thing to refine and open up the Ren and Du meridians.
After all, he still had to refine each acupoint one by one.
But now Zhao Ya found that after refining an acupoint, this acupoint was not a burden, but would provide additional help.
One or two may not be noticeable, but what if there are more acupoints to refine?
When a large amount of help is added together, wouldn't the progress be greatly accelerated when opening up meridians and refining acupoints?
Zhao Ya felt more and more that Fu Dongjun, who created the Star Swallowing True Power, was really a genius.
The key is that this technique is like tailor-made for him, and even Fu Dongjun, who created the technique, can't have the same effect as Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya speculated that when Fu Dongjun was practicing, he should have broken through the meridians first, then refined the acupoints, and finally used them as a miniature dantian.
But after having the human body outline map, Zhao Ya took a completely different path.
He can refine the acupoints first, and then rely on the superposition of the dantian and acupoints to gradually break through.
After realizing this, Zhao Ya's confidence increased greatly.
Now that the leg skills have been upgraded, the breakthrough of Qinggong and body skills should be just around the corner.
After discovering the characteristics of the Swallowing Star Power, Zhao Ya felt that he should shift his focus to the cultivation of the Swallowing Star Power.
After all, whether it is leg skills or Qinggong, they are just the use of strength.
And the source of all power comes from the realm.
As long as he can open up the Ren and Du meridians in a short period of time and advance to the Kaimai realm.
Then he can really protect himself in this Canglong Temple or the foreign land.
Zhao Ya certainly does not believe that Xia Jiye and others will give up because of Yu Zhang's death.
They are very likely to retaliate against him after the storm has calmed down.
That's why Zhao Ya has such a strong sense of urgency.
In the next few days, in addition to continuing to study in the library during the day, Zhao Ya practiced the Swallowing Star Power almost all night.
And the fact is as he expected, with the increase of acupoints, the help is getting bigger and bigger, and the progress naturally rises with it, and there is progress almost every day.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
This is the last festival of the New Year. After this day, the New Year is officially over.
The disciples of Canglong Temple who went home for the New Year have returned one after another.
The Canglong Temple, which had been quiet for several days, became lively again.
Many people did not quickly return to their usual state after returning, but called friends and gathered in groups of three or five to drink.
Especially today is the Lantern Festival, so it is natural.
Gui Xuanqing also invited Zhao Ya to drink, but Zhao Ya declined.
Now that the cultivation has reached a critical moment, Zhao Ya naturally does not want to relax a bit.
So after declining Gui Xuanqing, Zhao Ya once again came to the back mountain and found a quiet and sheltered place to continue practicing.
In just over ten days, Zhao Ya's Ren and Du meridians have been opened for the most part.
I guess no one would believe this progress.
Because I have never heard of anyone who can break through these two meridians so easily.
This is the bridge for the circulation of qi and blood in the human body.
Especially the acupuncture points on the top of the head are of utmost importance. If you are not careful, it may cause serious consequences.
Therefore, from ancient times to the present, anyone who wants to open up these two meridians must make adequate preparations and ask experienced masters to protect and help him.
How can it be like Zhao Ya, who has opened up most of them in less than a month of practicing alone.
At this moment, Zhao Ya skillfully entered the state of meditation, and then began to adjust his true power and accumulate strength, striving to achieve a one-time breakthrough today.
Now Zhao Ya's star-swallowing true power has broken through to the Jianli acupoint of the Ren meridian. If there are three acupoints, Xiawan, Shuifen, and Shenque, it can successfully penetrate the sea of qi. At that time, it can be considered that the Ren and Du meridians have been completely opened up.
Although it is only one step away from success, Zhao Ya dare not relax or be careless.
A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step.
The closer it is to this last moment, the more careful you need to be.
Zhao Ya prepared for an hour, and felt that the starlight in Dantian and the major acupuncture points were connected. Then he put his mind to it and continued to break through.
There was no obstacle at the Xiawan acupoint, and it was easily broken through.
The next Shuifen acupoint was also the same.
But when it came to the last acupoint Shenque, the unstoppable Swallowing Star True Power finally encountered an obstacle.
It was as if there was an extremely tough film blocking the way. No matter how the Swallowing Star True Power attacked, it could not go beyond the limit.
After several times in a row, even Zhao Ya, who had been prepared, felt a little upset.
So he decisively stopped practicing and came out of the state of meditation.
At this time, a full moon was hanging in the sky, and it had just snowed two days ago, so the mountains and forests were as bright as day.
Zhao Ya stood up, his figure flashed lightly, and he jumped from the ground to the treetops.
The dry branches did not even sway, and only a few snowflakes were stirred up.
Then Zhao Ya turned into a gust of wind under the moon, and ran rapidly in the mountains and forests.
Wherever he passed, except for a shallow mark, there was almost no mark left.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Ya ran more than ten miles and came to the big lake where he often practiced before.
Although it was already past the New Year, the lake was still frozen with a thick layer of ice.
Zhao Ya casually blasted a big hole, and jumped in without taking off his clothes.
The cold lake water quickly swallowed him.
Zhao Ya quickly sank to the bottom of the lake, then sat cross-legged and began to practice.
The water pressure forced Zhao Ya to enter the state of internal breathing, and at the same time, this state of isolation from the world also made Zhao Ya's thoughts extremely clear and pure.
Just a moment later, Zhao Ya felt that countless starlight was constantly pouring into him.
But this was not enough, Zhao Ya always felt that something was missing.
Suddenly.
He raised his head and opened his eyes.
Even through the thick ice, Zhao Ya could still see the bright moon in the sky.
Then Zhao Ya's mind moved slightly, and he began to consciously guide the moonlight into his body.
Compared with the faint starlight, the moonlight is much more blazing.
With just one thought, the boundless moonlight rushed in like a tide.
Zhao Ya instantly felt that his dantian, including all the acupuncture points, were full.
Then, without waiting for Zhao Ya to make any effort, the star-swallowing true power rushed directly to the Shenque acupoint.
The originally flexible obstacle was worn away bit by bit...
Suddenly.
Zhao Ya's body shook, and the surrounding lake water instantly set off huge waves.
Even the ice on the lake was shattered, and a water column rushed out more than ten meters high, and then slowly fell down.
Such a terrifying momentum was heard far away in the silent mountains and forests.
Many wild animals were scared away.
At the same time, a figure was seen lightly landing on the snow.
The thick snow had no dents at all, as if it was not a person standing on it, but an illusory shadow.
Then Zhao Ya slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
The breath was like an arrow, rushing straight out for four or five feet before dissipating.
At the same time, Zhao Ya's body was steaming, and the wet clothes became dry in the blink of an eye.
Then two lines of prompts appeared in front of Zhao Ya.
[Successful advancement of body skills, obtaining the ability to walk on snow without leaving any trace]
[Successful refining of the Ren and Du meridians, advancing to the Kaimai realm]
After several years of hard work, Zhao Ya finally successfully advanced to the Kaimai realm when he was just 21 years old.
