The Start Of The Cultivation (II)

It has now been a week since Ryu started cultivating the Basic cultivation manual. Currently, he is doing meditation to calm his mind so that he can prepare his mind for the upcoming stage of cultivation.

Yes, As of now, Ryu has collected enough Spiritual Qi to try to open the second Meridian in his body.

Usually, it takes months for a normal person to reach this stage, but Ryu Achieved this because of his regular training and a little surprise to him because of the damaged meridian.

So what happened was, As he started practicing, his capacity of the spiritual Qi increased and every time he would absorb spiritual energy from the environment it would be a little less than the amount of what he already had.

So before his meridian could get used to the Spiritual energy influx, it would damage more, and he had to repair it again and again.

Due to this process, the meridian, which would take more time to adjust for a large amount of spiritual energy, became short and his spiritual energy increased at an abnormal rate than normal.

This also brought the benefit of strengthening the meridian by damaging it and repairing it again and again.

So Ryu was now getting Ready to open the Second meridian in his body. In the Body awakening realm, there are a total of Nine meridians to unlock.

While one already unlocks one meridian in the awakening ceremony. After the Awakening, the cultivator is already at body awakening stage one.

To reach stage two of the body awakening realm, one needs to unlock any of the four meridians which are connected to the Dantian. These meridians are the Upper meridian, Right meridian, left meridian, and Lower meridian.

The meridian Upper body connects the Dantian to the Mind as the meridian of the right and left side connects to the arms of each and the Lower meridian is to connect with the Legs.

There are four more meridians connecting, one each in the Arms and legs. After opening all the meridians, the person can reach the peak of the Body Awakening Realm.

It is also called a fully Awakened Realm as a cultivator unlocks/awakens and connects all the meridians in their body to the Dantian.

As Ryu was getting ready to awaken the second meridian, He selected to open the lower Meridian. His idea was that.

'since I am training the stamina, I guess opening Meridian connecting to legs would help.'

On a side of Ryu, Roland was looking at him with an unknown astonishment. This was something he never heard of, In a week after awakening unlocking another meridian?

even the geniuses of big families or sects might be not this fast.

There was one more part of it and that was Ryu was only nine years old, so one can say that he might be a genius in cultivation, if not a monster.

As this thought was going inside the mind of Roland, another question came and that is:

'Is it true that his potential is low or was there a mistake? If there is no way to confirm, then I will think it is as if there was a mistake. And it is better for Ryu and us if no one knows about him'

And with this, Roland thought to make sure Ryu's potential doesn't get leaked to anyone, at least not now.

As Roland was thinking this, John came back from today's delivery and stood at his side of him.

He asked "Father, do you think he can do it?, only a week of cultivation, so Don't you think we should stop him? This can harm his health too"

Roland looked at John and said,

"I don't know if he can do it or not, as for this being a setback for him, well there should be something to push you or you won't know the value of it so this is a good opportunity and If he does succeed, Well, we will see it then"

As they were talking, Ryu opened his eyes and saw Roland and John talking. He did not think of hiding his progress from his family.

"Grandpa, I will be attempting now, " Said Ryu, looking towards Roland and John.

Amilia wasn't here as they did not want her to worry more again. So they told her to not come and said they will take care.

"Okay" Roland replied

Ryu closed his eyes, but this time he started gathering the spiritual Qi he had collected.

The amount of spiritual Qi was 15 -20 times the original size. It was a very fast growth from the regular standard.

'okay, it's collected so the first step is done, now the second step.."

Ryu collected the spiritual energy and started rotating it in a clockwise direction. This was one of the basic techniques of the cultivation manual which Ryu used.

This cultivation manual was only for giving a basic understanding of the cultivation path.

There were basic techniques with many flaws and dangers. For example, the basic breathing technique tells you ways to get spiritual energy but does not tell you how to control it along the way.

In Ryu's case, it was easy because his comprehension was good, but in others, they have to search for other methods or techniques to get an understanding of it.

As for this method of making a tornado in your Dantian to unblock the meridian, it can be dangerous if the person loses control over it and it can damage the meridian also if the person doesn't know how to control it well enough.

'Tornado has been created. Now it's time to unlock the meridian.' In the heat of the moment forgot the main part of the technique.

As he created a tornado in his Dantian, Ryu redirected it toward the Lower meridian.

As the spiritual Qi connected the meridian, sheer pain ran through Ryu's entire body.

Yes, what he did was to collide with the full power of the spiritual Qi with the meridian.

"Ahh.." he gritted his teeth

As the meridian was weak and malnourished, it bore the total brunt of Ryu's recklessness. Just as this happened Ryu once again Spatted blood, but this time there was more blood.

"blluuurrrgh"

"RYUUU..."

And as the blood came out, Ryu lost consciousness in darkness...
