After the simulation was completed, Zhou Xiaochuan opened his eyes, exhaled a heavy breath, and felt indescribably light and comfortable all over.

Then, Zhou Xiaochuan jumped up and instantly reached a height of three meters.

And this was just a warm-up jump for Zhou Xiaochuan.

He took a horse stance, concentrated his energy into his dantian, then let out a light breath and pushed out with a palm!
The true energy in the body rolled and formed a stream of air. Under Zhou Xiaochuan’s guidance, this small stream of air directly cut a tree ten meters away in half.

Zhou Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction. It turned out that there were so many joints in this simple period of enlightenment.

Now, Zhou Xiaochuan himself had a new understanding of why the awakening period of their Lingjiang tribe lost so easily to the black pig demon.

If one only opens these two acupoints and is able to use them to bring a slight improvement to one’s body, then the strength of this acupoint-opening period is probably only limited compared to the perfection of the foundation-building period.

If two acupoints are opened and one can nourish the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in these two acupoints, then this acupoint opening period is incomparable to the foundation building period.

And if the two acupoints are opened and filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, then this acupoint opening stage can be said to be a huge improvement compared to the foundation building stage.

Not only can one nourish the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the body, making the physical strength become incomparably powerful, but one can also transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the body into airflow and shoot it out, exerting extraordinary destructive power.

However, this comes at a cost.

After the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is released, it cannot be taken back, but requires time to be nurtured again.

The energy bomb that Zhou Xiaochuan just fired, although it had considerable damage and could strike from a long distance, caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Zhou Xiaochuan’s body to be reduced a little.

All of this will take about a month to nurture.

Perhaps there is some kind of skill that can reduce the amount of spiritual energy used and increase attack power and destructive power, but in the final analysis, the spiritual energy stored in the body still needs to be consumed.

As for the method of replenishing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Zhou Xiaochuan currently only knows one.

That is daily breathing and accumulation.

In other words, if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the body is exhausted, the strength of the cultivator in the awakening stage will be greatly weakened.

But this kind of weakening must take time to recover.

This time… may not be short.

Zhou Xiaochuan made a rough estimate and found that if the internal energy in his body was really used up, it would take eight years to replenish it again.

After the true energy is really exhausted, one’s strength will not be much stronger than when the foundation is perfected.

but……

Replenishing true Qi requires time and lifespan.

But what I have the most is time and longevity, right?

With the blessing of this golden cymbal, as long as he kills monsters and strange creatures, he can obtain monster blood, and this monster blood can be converted into life span. One drop of blood can increase his life span by ten years, and then use this life span to simulate cultivation.

In other words, as long as you kill enough monsters, the true energy in your body will be infinite and can be replenished infinitely.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at his body and found that there were still ten drops of demon blood.

In order to verify this, Zhou Xiaochuan directly transformed a drop of demon’s blood into ten years of life.

[You spent a month reabsorbing and nourishing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The acupoints in your body are once again filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. You now feel that your whole body is full of energy, as if you will never get tired.]

Seeing this description, Zhou Xiaochuan pondered for a moment, then converted two drops of demon blood, increasing his simulated lifespan to thirty years.

Now only two acupoints have been opened, reaching the initial stage of opening the orifices. If you really want to enter the middle stage of opening the orifices, you need to open the mouth acupoint and two of the six acupoints of the eyes, ears and nose, and open five acupoints. Only then can you be considered to have truly entered the middle stage of opening the orifices.

And just to enter the early stage of awakening and fill up the two acupoints, it took me thirty years and two demon blood essences…

At present, there are only ten drops of demon blood available. Zhou Xiaochuan doesn’t know to what extent he can break through. Maybe it would be most cost-effective to go to other villages to hunt those demons. After he has enough demon blood, he can conduct simulation.

However, delay would lead to changes. After truly entering the awakening period, Zhou Xiaochuan discovered that the black pig he had killed previously, although it was said to be about to enter the middle stage of awakening, had extremely scarce true Qi in its body.

If this black pig’s body is filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and true energy, then no matter how clever and resourceful he is, he will be dragged into a tough battle with this black pig and will find it difficult to escape.

He lacks the real means to fight the enemy. If he really encounters a monster in the middle or late stage of awakening, with perfect true Qi, it would be easy for him to capsize in the ditch.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaochuan swallowed a drop of demon’s blood and began the simulation.

[In the first year, after you have filled up the two acupoints in your body and entered the true awakening stage, you really want to go one step further, so you begin to explore the path of cultivation again.]

[In the fourth year, with your previous experience, you found the mouth orifice with ease, and gradually began to fill it with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, you found that the spiritual energy required for the mouth orifice was much more than the two acupoints activated before. The mouth orifice seemed to be a bottomless pit, constantly devouring your time. ]

[In the sixth year, your demonic blood was completely refined, but this orifice is still not filled.]

Zhou Xiaochuan frowned, wondering if his savings were so small that he couldn’t even make a small profit?
Originally, he had planned to use these ten drops of the demon’s blood to enter the middle stage of awakening.

but now……

Zhou Xiaochuan gritted his teeth and swallowed three drops of the demon’s blood.

[In the eighth year, the first drop of demon blood you swallowed was refined by your mouth, but your mouth seemed like a bottomless pit.]

[In the tenth year, the second drop of demon blood you swallowed was refined by the mouth, but the mouth seemed to be a bottomless pit.]

[In the twelfth year, the third drop of demon blood you swallowed was refined by your mouth, but your mouth seemed like a bottomless pit.]

Zhou Xiaochuan frowned. This was five drops of demon blood, which was equivalent to fifty years of lifespan, but the acupoint was not filled yet? (End of this chapter)
