The Immortal Fire

Chapter 31: The Double Meridian

Zheng Tian pressed his palms against Liu Ying's back who was sitting cross-legged, the man tried to transfer the Qi energy he had that he believed could activate the turmoil.

Meanwhile Liu Ying closed his eyes while receiving the warm energy entering his cells, feeling uncomfortable at first.

"Any thing," Zheng Tian said as he cut off his energy flow.

Liu Ying wanted to continue asking, but was restrained by the sentence Zheng Tian was about to throw next.

"I guess part of the reason your grandfather insisted on hiding you so deeply is this, you have multiple meridians" Zheng Tian said in disbelief at what he had just said.

Liu Ying digested carefully what Zheng Tian said, according to him there was nothing special about it.

"The "double element drains a lot of energy, also making it difficult for the owner of the body to break through the next level. Not fit to be a martial artist."

Zheng Tian continued his words while letting Liu Ying need his sitting position.

"You have a rare moment where a person raises one spare meridian simultaneously in the same body. Although not very rare, it is usually difficult for people who have multiple meridians to reach the highest peak in cultivation, due to unbalanced energy and difficult to balance, so that the energy of his body becomes messy."

Zheng Tian had originally expected a lot to Liu Ying, but after finding that one fact, he was a little disappointed.

Liu Ying took the energy sting in his veins seriously. "There's no possibility for a dual meridian owner to become a great cultivator?"

Liu Ying really wished there was a way for him to still be able to excel in cultivating, at least it would strengthen his position.

Zheng Tian shook his head in doubt. "I've never heard of any alternative all this time, but you can move on to another field instead of taking the way of the sword."

Zheng Tian explained that Liu Ying could have been a poison concocter turned illusion magic user, thus Liu Ying was able to avoid swordsmanship and not hinder his path.

But Liu Ying did not agree too much considering that he was very fond of sword arts, Liu Ying insisted that he still wanted to use the sword as his main weapon.

"Although that is the case, you better learn the science of concocting poison as a supporting science" Zheng Tian persuaded.

Of course Liu Ying agreed although hesitantly, he still wanted to find a solution so that he could study swordsmanship deeply.

In the Wei empire, there were about twenty percent of people with this double meridian. The few who remained to choose the sword path only stopped at the expert swordsman stage and were unable to continue, the rest preferring to become poison concocters and illusion magic users.

According to Zheng Tian, Liu Ying's comprehension should indeed be able to surpass that of understanding in swordsmanship, but his body was unable to properly accommodate that science.

Zheng Tian resignedly looked at the persistence of Liu Ying who had still chosen his sword path, Zheng Tian was quite regretful if Liu Ying was wasting time with swordsmanship whose highest level was impossible to break through.

"Alright, the first step of cultivators is the skill of concocting resources into medicines. Almost all cultivators would learn this in their early stages, one of the most important parts."

From Zheng Tian's explanation, it could be concluded that a cultivator must have the skill to make medicines to help raise his cultivation level tens or even hundreds of years faster than without resources.

Liu Ying understood very well the importance of those resources and medicines, considering Xi Guan often imported them into the sect for the Elders and seniors to use.

"I get. It should have required a lot of amazing resources whose price was impossible to reach," Liu Ying circulated his gaze towards the grass.

"Unfortunately I am unable to detect the location of the reserve meridians within your body at all. Clearly, this looks even stranger than I'd normally meet."

Hearing that, Liu Ying rekindled her hope. "This may be a sign that I'm a little different. Maybe there's another possibility we don't know about, I'm a little sure."

According to Zheng Tian, Liu Ying simply did not understand the workings of that element in his body. He chose to invite Liu Ying to end his activities.

But only a few moments they will prepare for sleep, the sound of footsteps about dozens of people leads to where they spend the night.

From a distance, several people dressed in black came to them.

"What are you doing in our area?!"

A sharp and lustful sound of killing jolted the two people who were overnight under the tree.

Zheng Tian got up and stood up trying to hold back and tried to talk to the entourage despite not being well responded to, Liu Ying hated the arrogant the most.

"Sorry sir, I'm just a cute old man on a trip. We just want to spend the night in this forest before continuing tomorrow, please allow me." Zheng Tian saluted and tried to temper the anger of the crowd to negotiate.

Yet someone who seemed more prominent among them looked extremely unfriendly. "Everyone who enters this forest will die, not least you, Smelly Man!!"

That person pushed Zheng Tian's shoulders rough so as to make him stagger, fortunately he was still able to get a balance.

"Are your mouth and hands unusable other than for rude things?!" This time it was Liu Ying who shouted to the swarm.

That person was slightly attracted by Liu Ying's striking look. "Who is this heroic pretentious girl? Want to try to fight me?"

Zheng Tian gestured for Liu Ying to retreat, but Liu Ying did not budge at all, the old man dizzy the seven roving around.

That person pulled hard on Zheng Tian's strong clothes, then looked at Liu Ying while grinning.

"Take off my grandfather, you son of a bitch!!"

Liu Ying pulled the sword hanging on his back, grasping it hard until his fingers turned pale white.

Immediately the man also readied his sword, he pushed Zheng Tian away and headed towards Liu Ying.

Zheng Tian was panicked, Liu Ying was the most stubborn person he had ever met. He only wished that the girl had not done anything stupid that provoked the anger of the group. However what power, Liu Ying was not his name if it did not have a rebellious nature.

That person was getting ready to attack without his men participating, he thought himself was more than enough to teach Liu Ying a lesson.

But no, Liu Ying could not hide his killing aura, if it had started then it had to end. Liu Ying had a strong principle regarding his pride, it was better to die than to run.
