The effects of the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone were self-evident.
At this moment, Dugu Yan was immersed in her own improvement, feeling her own state.
"My spirit power breakthrough is only secondary. I feel that the... meridians in my body are wider now, especially a few originally tiny meridians, which have been widened significantly."
Dugu Yan tried to circulate her spirit power and found that although the eight widened tiny meridians were very scattered and had no connection with the many meridians connecting the dantian and the internal organs, nor did they form a system, they could play a very good supporting role in any spirit power circulation.
Dugu Yan knew that these should be the Hidden Meridians her grandfather mentioned.
Even for simple meditation cultivation, without actively circulating spirit power along a fixed route, spirit power would spread throughout the body. In this process, these few Hidden Meridians would also play a role, making the circulation of spirit power easier and more convenient, improving cultivation efficiency and effect!
"Yan'er, how many Hidden Meridians have you connected in total?" Dugu Bo asked.
"Eight."
"How many?" Dugu Bo was shocked, looking at his granddaughter: "How many Hidden Meridians did you say you connected?"
"Eight." Dugu Yan also knew this was shocking.
Following Dugu Bo, she learned a lot about some attempts in Spirit Master cultivation and knew what it meant to connect eight Hidden Meridians.
It meant connecting three times more Hidden Meridians than her grandfather.
Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, had only connected two Hidden Meridians in his body so far.
Aside from shock, Dugu Bo didn't forget to ask his granddaughter about the locations of the remaining six Hidden Meridians.
Although connecting Hidden Meridians wouldn't necessarily drive the spirit power improvement of a Titled Douluo, after reaching level ninety-five, Titled Douluo also had requirements for connecting Hidden Meridians.
Moreover, the benefits of connecting Hidden Meridians in advance for cultivation were self-evident.
Dugu Bo didn't know the locations of all Hidden Meridians in the first place. Now that his granddaughter had opened up eight, he naturally asked immediately.
However, after Dugu Yan described for a long time, Dugu Bo felt a few Hidden Meridians in his body, feeling like a tangled mess.
There were too many meridians in the same part, intricate and complicated. Finding that specific Hidden Meridian among them was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Su Wen silently released his spirit beside them. On the blank page, meridians began to be outlined one by one.
This was the meridian map he had displayed to the outside world long ago.
Among them, eight meridians spread throughout the body were marked by Su Wen in a special form.
It's just that these marks might not have been conspicuous enough before. At this moment, Su Wen emphasized the flow of spirit power in these eight meridians.
These eight meridians immediately became very eye-catching.
Looking at the positions of the eight Hidden Meridians on Su Wen's spirit, and comparing them with the Hidden Meridians he had opened up and the positions Dugu Yan just described to him, Dugu Bo fell silent.
"Little Wen, when did you find the positions of these eight Hidden Meridians?" he asked kindly.
"Grandpa Dugu, I found them long ago. Every time I showed you the spirit power circulation routes, these eight meridians were marked," Su Wen said speechlessly.
He thought a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo knew the positions of these Hidden Meridians, or would realize it after seeing the meridian map.
"Why didn't you say so?"
"You never asked!"
Su Wen was truly righteous.
He had marked them himself, and Dugu Bo hadn't made the connection. Who could be blamed for that!
Dugu Bo looked helpless.
Although he had connected two Hidden Meridians, he only knew their approximate locations. He didn't know the distribution of other surrounding meridians, so naturally, he couldn't see that the two out of eight meridians marked in Su Wen's extremely complex meridian map were Hidden Meridian markings just from a rough positional coincidence.
"Make me a copy of this meridian map." Dugu Bo rubbed his glabella and said.
"Grandpa Dugu, I'll just lead you to find the eight Hidden Meridians directly." Su Wen merged that page into Dugu Bo's body.
Then, it got stuck.
Su Wen looked a bit embarrassed and reminded Dugu Bo: "Grandpa Dugu, coordinate with me to circulate your spirit power."
Dugu Bo's spirit power quality was too high and too thick; Su Wen couldn't guide it.
Dugu Bo also felt the pulling force in his body and circulated along with it.
Soon, Dugu Bo found the positions of the remaining six Hidden Meridians.
His expression was complicated.
"Little Wen, this ability of yours is truly heaven-defying."
Su Wen had actually told him about this ability before. Old Jack was able to master the Spirit Ascension Method in a short time because Su Wen guided him in this way. But Dugu Bo didn't realize the significance of the problem at that time.
Now, with the help of this ability of Su Wen, he easily found the positions of six Hidden Meridians.
Although finding the position didn't mean they could be connected—connecting Hidden Meridians itself relied on stimulation and chance—being able to find them was still significant.
If one could know the positions of Hidden Meridians in advance, even if they couldn't connect them autonomously, they could try to impact them every time their spirit power broke through.
Dugu Bo was already level ninety-two; perhaps it seemed like there weren't many opportunities left.
But what about Spirit Masters at the level of Su Wen and Dugu Yan?
Leaving aside every minor level breakthrough, every breakthrough of a full ten levels and the breakthrough after obtaining a spirit ring were major breakthroughs, driving the growth of the spirit together.
From Spirit Ancestor to Titled Douluo, there were a total of five breakthroughs of relatively large bottlenecks, plus five spirit growths—ten opportunities. Consciously guiding spirit power to impact these Hidden Meridians would definitely succeed two or three times.
With good luck, it was possible to connect four or even five Hidden Meridians.
This was simply a free opportunity given for no reason.
Of course, Dugu Bo would also try consuming immortal herbs next. Knowing the positions of Hidden Meridians in advance would inevitably lead him to connect two or three of them.
"However, there are still shortcomings. Your ability is equivalent to prying into all the information in the other party's body." Dugu Bo could clearly feel Su Wen's prying at that time, and it was very intense, feeling like being completely seen through.
It was only because he was a big man and had a close relationship with Su Wen; otherwise, he really couldn't accept it.
For example, Dugu Bo never had the idea of letting Su Wen help guide Dugu Yan.
"By the way, Yan'er, how is your cultivation of the Spirit Ascension Method going?" Reminded, Dugu Bo thought of the Spirit Ascension Method.
Dugu Yan looked bitter and said, "It's too difficult. Even with Little Wen's techniques, I only found and memorized the positions of all the meridians. I'm still trying to form a complete circulation."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo wasn't disappointed but very satisfied.
"No matter. You spent the last four months training outside, having to clear the toxins from your body and cultivate at the same time. Being able to do this is already very fast."
"Actually, the hardest step is finding the corresponding positions of the meridians in the body. Circulating spirit power in these meridians afterward isn't difficult," Su Wen added.
Indeed, the later part was idiot-proof operation.
However, Dugu Yan's mouth twitched.
Idiot-proof operations also depended on complexity.
Look at what kind of thing the spirit power circulation of this Spirit Ascension Method is! You call this not difficult?
