After watching for about half an hour, Yun Xiao finally read through this Dragon-Capturing Secret Art roughly. Although the details are still unclear, he completely understands the cultivation method and concept that this Dragon-Capturing Secret Art intends to express.
"This... What a magnificent and extraordinary skill!"
Moving his gaze away from the book, Yun Xiao swallowed hard with difficulty. Then he looked at his master and for a moment didn't know what to say.
He has understood this Dragon-Capturing Secret Art. However, regarding the cultivation method on it, he really finds it too unbelievable.
Like normal cultivation methods, the practice of the Dragon-Capturing Secret Art is also based on the dantian. However, the creator of the Dragon-Capturing Secret Art is unique and is not satisfied with the cultivation of a single dantian. This talented martial artist has set his sights on the 108 major acupoints on the human body and forcefully opened up cavities in the 108 major acupoints. And each acupoint is equivalent to a dantian.
That is to say, by cultivating the Dragon-Capturing Secret Art, one can store true essence in the 108 acupoints in addition to the dantian and then condense primordial pills. At that time, the cultivator will be equivalent to having 108 additional dantians and 108 additional primordial pills. Just imagine, with such terrifying power contained within the body, what kind of situation would it be?
This martial art is called the Dragon-Capturing Secret Art. If it can really be cultivated successfully, capturing a dragon is nothing.
"Master..."
Staring blankly at his master, at this moment he finally understood why the other party asked him to make his own decision whether to cultivate this extraordinary skill.
Obviously, if he can cultivate this Dragon-Capturing Secret Art, his power will definitely reach an unimaginable level, and his future achievements will also be immeasurable.
But if he can't cultivate this martial art, not only will the wasted time be hard to recover, but even switching to other cultivation methods will probably be very difficult. After all, the cultivation method of the Dragon-Capturing Secret Art is very different from other martial arts and cultivation methods.
"Master, may I be so bold as to ask what stage Master has cultivated this Dragon-Capturing Secret Art to?"
After a brief silence, Yun Xiao didn't rush to give an answer but solemnly asked his master.
To practice or not to practice, he must think it through clearly. And first of all, he must know whether there is a possibility of cultivating this Dragon-Capturing Secret Art. And on this point, his master is surely the most authoritative.
"I obtained this extraordinary skill twenty years ago. It took me three years to straighten out the 108 major acupoints in the human body and another three years to understand the meaning of acupoints. It wasn't until the eighth year that I successfully opened up one acupoint. As of now, I have successfully opened up thirty-six acupoints. But there is still a long way to go from the 108 acupoints. I don't know if I can open up the remaining seventy-two acupoints in my lifetime."
As he gets older, he will probably reach the end of his life in a few years. And whether he can open up all the 108 major acupoints in his lifetime, he actually has no certainty at all.
You should know that the further one goes, the more difficult it is to open up acupoints. The opening of these latter seventy-two acupoints is much more difficult than the previous thirty-six.
"Three years to straighten out acupoints? Three years to understand the meaning of acupoints? Open up the first acupoint in the eighth year?"
Hearing Elder Yan's words, Yun Xiao's eyebrows suddenly rose, and a bright light couldn't help flashing in his eyes.
If what his master said is true, then that means that in the first three years, the other party was basically familiarizing himself with the acupoints in the human body. In the second three years, he was understanding the meaning of acupoints. For a full six years, he was almost doing preparatory work. And when he really started cultivating the Dragon-Capturing Secret Art, he achieved results in only two years.
In fact, compared to his cheap master, his situation is completely different.
First of all, with the advantage of his spiritual power, let alone three years, in three days, it is enough for him to straighten out all the acupoints in the human body. As for understanding the meaning of acupoints, he believes that with his understanding of martial arts, in ten days or half a month, he should be able to understand the true meaning of acupoints. So another three years can be saved.
As for cultivating acupoints, this may not be very difficult. Judging from the secret manual of the Dragon-Capturing Secret Art that he just read, opening up acupoints is actually no different from opening up the dantian. The only thing that is relatively complicated is the mutual cooperation and influence between countless acupoints. And these are also problems that can be easily solved by spiritual power.
In the end, for him, this Dragon-Capturing Secret Art is basically not much different from ordinary martial arts.
"Master, I would like to study this Dragon-Capturing Secret Art for a few days first and then decide whether to cultivate it. I hope Master will do a favor me."
With his thoughts racing, Yun Xiao still didn't make a decision immediately.
This Dragon-Capturing Secret Art is so powerful that it is hard to resist. But it concerns his future achievements. Before deciding whether to cultivate it, he hopes to have a deeper understanding of this martial art and then make a decision.
"Fine. Since that's the case, I'll give you three days to consider. After three days, if you decide to cultivate it, I will pass on all my understanding of the Dragon-Capturing Secret Art to you. If you don't want to cultivate it, I will select other martial arts suitable for you and will also teach you carefully."
He also hopes that Yun Xiao can think it through clearly and not make a decision easily. After all, once this decision is made, it may be very difficult to turn back.
"Thank you, Master, for your do a favor ."
Receiving Elder Yan's approval, Yun Xiao's face brightened, and he quickly bowed and thanked.
"Okay, I've already said not to be so polite with me." Waving his hand, Elder Yan's expression relaxed a bit. "During these three days, you can think it over here at ease. In addition, if there is anything, you can come to the Tranquil Heart Pavilion behind the palace to find me at any time. I usually practice there. I usually don't practice martial arts much in this main hall. This place is originally prepared for my personal disciple. As for me, I prefer the small pavilion behind the palace. Practicing there seems to be closer to nature than practicing in the main hall."
"I understand." Nodding, Yun Xiao directly agreed.
"You can get familiar with the environment here for now. I still have some things to deal with." After giving Yun Xiao a few instructions, Elder Yan then happily left the main hall to deal with some trivial matters.
Speaking of which, although he has never been very particular about etiquette, but after accepting Yun Xiao as his personal disciple, he must inform the dean of Leiyun Academy about this matter and let the entire Leiyun Academy know that from today on, he, Yan Chongshan, also has a personal disciple.
