He then looks at the rest of his meridian that he had opened.
He opened Jueyin Pericardium Channel of Hand. It is a meridian that correspond with Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian of
He also opened the Taiyang Bladder Channel of Foot
A meridian that increase one overall health among other benefits in opening this meridian
It is after he opens all twelve that there is a special notification that popped out in front of his face
It is the information on to open Qijing Ba Mai or the Eight Extraordinary meridians
The practitioner must also open the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
It could only be opened after all twelve meridians is opened. Before that the system would not release the requirement on how to open the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
These eight extra meridians differ from the standard twelve organ meridians in that they are considered to be storage vessels or reservoirs of energy and are not associated directly with the internal organs
They also act as reservoirs of Qi and blood for the twelve regular channels, filling and emptying as required and circulate essence of energy around the body because they have a strong connection with the kidneys
They help circulate the defensive Wei Qi over the trunk of the body and, as such, play an important role in maintaining of good health and they provide further connections between the twelve regular channels
The eight extraordinary vessels are Qi Jing Ba Mai with each one of them further increases one internal energy and longevity and each vessel possess extraordinary effect on the practitioner body
When he taps on the notification there is information entering his mind about the Qi Jing Ba Mai
________________________________________________________
Qi Jing Ba Mai [Eight Extraordinary Meridian]
Conception Vessel (Ren Mai) [SEALED]- The Conception Vessel represents our resources in life, and the resources we received in very early childhood in bonding with our mother. It can be fostering the process of birth, be it that of a child, a creative idea, or an endeavor. Ren involves bonding, nurturing, protection and love of self.
Governing Vessel (Du Mai) [SEALED]- The Governing Vessel, controller of the “Sea of Yang Meridians” in the back, is the area richest in protective Wei Qi. The Du Mai rules circulation of Wei Qi and Fire in the body to guard against external harmful energy
Penetrating Vessel (Chong Mai) [SEALED] - The Thrusting Vessel runs up the center of the body (between the Ren and the Du) from Huiyin to Baihui. Increases one memory and comprehension ability and clear the mind from distraction when one wanted to focus.
Girdle Vessel (Dai Mai) [SEALED]- The Belt Meridian goes around the body horizontally.
When it is healthy, Qi can expand vertically and horizontally, spiraling out in an energetic cocoon of Wei Qi that protects from external negative energy, diseases and any harmful. If the Dai Mai is dysfunctional the “belt” tightens, and leads to a “stuck” condition, an energetic split between the body top and bottom. Also help the practitioner to possess a clear mind and making the practitioner easier to focus when doing something.
The two Qiao Mai channels (Heel Vessels) helps in merging Yin and Yang. Merging these two extremes into one body, enabling the practitioner to practice all kinds of martial arts without harming the body, making the body and the energy inside the body to become flexible and adaptive
Yin Heel Vessel (Yin Qiao Mai) [SEALED] - Other than helping the merging of Yin and Yang, it also helps in vision related ability as such one could easily things that is hundreds of meters away with clarity.
Yang Heel Vessel (Yang Qiao Mai) [SEALED] - Other than helping the merging of Yin and Yang, it Helps the practitioner to become calm and maintain one state of mind of calmness even during the most chaotic situation, a type of mental fortitude that would be cultivated naturally when opening this meridian.
The Two Wei Mai Vessels (Linking Vessels) represent how we hold together (Wei means to link or support). These are the vessels of aging. They are the vessels of the last two cycles of seven and eight. They represent how we move along in life and transform either Yin or Yang as time passes.
Yin linking vessel (Yin Wei Mai) [SEALED] - Help in the regulation of Yin energy and Yin related martial arts. Protects the body from being invaded by harmful Yin energy and increases longevity
Yang linking vessel (Yang Wei Mai) [SEALED] - help in the regulation of Yang energy and Yang related martial arts and help the body become healthier and enable the practitioner that open this vessel to enjoy longevity of life.
Opening these vessels is tapping directly into the essence of oneself and of the Universe, directly absorbing the energy of the world. therefore, is must be done with caution and reverence
___________________________________________________
Unlike the other meridian, it seems that Li Xin had to satisfy certain condition before he could access the information on how to breakthrough of the Qi Jing Ba Mai
Of course, this is just his assumption. It might also mean that he must seek the way of opening this method by himself.
He then looks at his weapon and armor. Both of these window is empty as he did not equip any weapon in that slot.
He of course has weapons like Sharp Sword. But when he tries to put it in the Weapons slot, the system did not allow it.
It seems that to be qualified as a weapon that the system approves, it might be a powerful weapon or weapon with history or unique abilities.
As for armor, he did not buy any armor nor did he craft any armor. But, he is thinking about it right now.
As for items windows, the item window only has ten slot capacity. And there are only four items in his Item slot.
There is [Healing Pill] [Detoxifying Pill] and [Inner Energy Restoration Pill]. He likened it to quick button.
But as for now, there is never yet a battle that could force him to use the pills that he put in the item slot.
And then he looks at the money and there is a smile on his face.
‘I am rich’ he mutters as he chuckles a bit.
He has 3300 Ding 756 Liang and 50 Wen. This is why he believes that while this is the Tang dynasty, it is not the Tang dynasty of his world.
Tang dynasty did not use the term Ding, Liang and Wen for their currency instead they used Kai Yuan Tong Bao.
What he knew is that the Huangchao Rebellion has already ended. He is quite sure of this. He might be in a month earlier from where he plays the game.
Of course, he also knew that he is at the end of the Tang dynasty. Zhu Wen is about to kill the Emperor, and the fight for the deer is about to begin
Warlords would rise. Still, there is time. The Five Dynasties and Ten kingdoms did not yet appear but Li Xin is quite confident that the major players are already making moves
Zhu Wen is at the Capital; this is the founder of Liang later known as Later Liang. Li Keyong in Taiyuan, the founder of Tang, later known as Later Tang
These people are the ones that would later rise. Of course, there is many other but this is the one that affect the stability of Tang dynasty right now
Li Xin however did not care much. Whether they wanted to rebel or usurp, that is their business. Surviving is hard enough, there is no need for him to get involved in this.
Of course, if he is strong enough, he does not mind in participating.
There must be a lot of rewards that he could get by participating in the war. But, he is not interested in things like making the Tang prospers or saving the falling Tang dynasty.
Firstly, he doesn’t really think he has the strength. Unless he is a grandmaster, he could not affect many of the affairs of the world
Even if he has the power, the decline of the Tang dynasty is not something that he alone could stop. There is corruption and there is evil
Li Xin did not live here but this is progress. From the ashes of this fallen dynasty, they will be more improvement. The wheel of history moves forward.
Li Xin had no desire of imparting modern knowledge.
Humans especially the Tang people who is very warlike, would use the technology not to better the live of the peasantry instead it would be used to kill people.
Li Xin had read so many novels about when a protagonist goes to the past. he also reads a few web novels made in China.
There is a lot of those after China got nuked.
But, from what he reads, the Chinese people seems to view any other people other than their race as untrustworthy and barbaric. It is the same way the Romans views any other culture than theirs.
And while the Romans did integrate most of the cultures in their Empire in the later years, the Chinese dynasty had always had this distrust over foreigners other than during the time of Tang dynasty.
It is quite inclusive
So, there is no need for him to give or share anything. Knowing that if he does share it, it might not bring the results he wants.
But, Li Xin does want to try something. He wanted to try to save Emperor Zhaozhong. He wanted to see whether he could change the future.
That and the fact that such an event is probably going to be filled with heroes and villains. He had also planned to reap a lot of rewards
‘Right now, all those things are still too far away from me’ he thought to himself.

Author Note
Li Keyong- Li Keyong (October 24, 856 – February 24, 908) was a military general and politician of Shatuo ethnicity, and from January 896 a Prince of Jin (Jin Wang), which would become an independent state after the fall of the Tang dynasty in 907 to its general Zhu Wen, founder of the Later Liang dynasty.
Li served as a provincial military governor during the late Tang period and was an instrumental figure in the development of a Shatuo base of power in what is today's Shanxi Province. His son Li Cunxu (Emperor Zhuangzong), a child of his concubine Lady Cao, would succeed him as Prince of Jin and eventually become the founder of the Later Tang dynasty in 923.
Emperor Zhaozhong - Emperor Zhaozong of Tang (March 31, 867 – September 22, 904), formerly known Li Jie, name later changed to Li Min and again to Li Ye, was the penultimate emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
He reigned from 888 to 904 (although he was briefly deposed by the eunuch Liu Jishu in 900 and restored in 901).
Zhaozong was the seventh son of Emperor Yizong of Tang and younger brother of Emperor Xizong of Tang. Later Li Jie was murdered by Zhu Wen, the Later Liang ruler who overthrew the Tang dynasty.
During Emperor Zhaozong's reign, the Tang Dynasty fell into total disarray and rebellions, which had been ongoing since the reign of his older brother Emperor Xizong, as they erupted throughout the country while the imperial government's authority effectively disappeared.
In the midst of all this, Emperor Zhaozong tried to salvage the dying dynasty. However, his efforts to reassert imperial power generally backfired, as his unsuccessful campaigns against Li Keyong, Chen Jingxuan, and Li Maozhen, merely allowed them to re-affirm their power. Eventually, the major warlord Zhu Quanzhong seized control of the imperial government and in 904 had Emperor Zhaozong killed as the prelude of taking over the Tang throne.
Zhu also killed many of Emperor Zhaozong's ministers, including the chancellor, Cui Yin. Zhu then placed Zhaozong's 13-year-old son as a puppet emperor (as Emperor Ai). By 907, Zhu himself took over the throne, ending Tang and starting a new Later Liang. Emperor Zhaozong's reign lasted almost 16 years and he was buried in Heling. He was 37 when he died.

He stops thinking about things he could not change and instead focused on what he should be doing right nowhe looks at his storage bag. His storage bag only had forty slot. Most of the items in his storage bag is like Sharp Sword and pills and while it did not have many slot left available, it is still enough for himThere are many things that he puts in there.There is quest rewards in it, his craft items, and even herbs that he had pluckedIf he wanted to upgrade the bag, he needs to pay 8 Ding and 880 Liang. It is not that he did not have the money to upgrade the bagIt is that there is no need for him to upgrade it at the momentFinally, he had reviewed all of the stats. And now, he is ready.‘It is time to buy some martial technique from the system store’Li Xin opens the system store and he looks at the numerous martial arts. Some of the martial arts have high prices.Some requires his power level to be higher.But as he is now One with the World most of the skills in the syste
The Three Waves Palm is simple. Li Xin understood it and he smilesBut simple did not mean weak.Executed in the perfect circumstances, it would be a lethal technique.The important thing to know about the Three Waves Palm is that the three waves of energy must not be same.The energy come from the body, and when it is unleashed it must have different kind of waves of power when it is being executed.Weak, strong weak. Or strong, weak, strong. Or strong, strong, weak. Or weak, weak, strong. Combine, mix and match, attack according to circumstances.There are no useful or useless moves in martial arts. There are only people who can’t use them properly.This skill could shine if the one using it could understand the intricacies of using this force. At times strong, at times weak, pushing forward, showing weakness, forcing the enemy to also use unconventional means.It is called Three Waves Palm but it is not three strokes of palm attack. Instead, the waves refer to the energy.The moves
Li Xin sigh held many meaning and feelings. Because he knew that it is not easy to gain martial skill points.It did not just fall down from the sky. But he also knew that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm is a powerful skill and if he mastered it, he probably could walk sideways in Jianghu without worrying too muchLi Xin of course is not arrogant enough to think that he would be invincible if he mastered the skill but he is confident enough, that at least in the junior generation, there is not many that could fight him or kill him.Li Xin also knows that he did not know much about this world. Whether it had changed since he played the game or it is still the same.Even if the world is the same as the game he plays, there is still one problemWhen Li Xin was playing the game, he was just a disciple of a small sect.He could not really understand the power level of the people in Jianghu. If he is lucky he would hear some stories about grandmasters.In other words, maybe Eighteen Drago
He looks like a diving eagle, his palms outstretched and the sound of dragon roaring could be heardThe wind went mad, the space distorted, a powerful heat seems to emanate out of Li Xin palm‘HAH!’ he screams as he unleashes the palm strike to the ground, his white robe flutters like there is raging wind around him, his hair waves wildly in the air, the heat around him seems to condense and distorted space.As he unleashes the second stroke, the ground which is of six feet distance from his position in the air depressed three inches deep below and just right before LI Xin falls down to the ground, he changes his direction and landed gracefully back in the original position before he jumpedHe looks at the ground in the distance and he frowned‘I lack a bit of the forceful inner energy’Even though he had recover most of his inner energy earlier, he notices that this second stroke requires great internal strength.
The Dragon is Seen in the Fields, The Dragon Soars in the Sky, The Swan Descends Gracefully and finally Diving into the AbyssThe stroke for the Diving into Abyss, it is a stroke that overpower the opponentOverpowering one's opponent is an important criterion in battle.The martial artist that learns the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm and uses this stroke, through his presence and awe, will be able to invoke fear and submission in an adversary. Therefore, half the battle is already won even before it takes place.Li Xin then takes a break. Instead of going back to his lazy chair he sat down on the open space of the yard and takes a deep breath.He did not realize it when he was doing all of those movement but his entire body is sweating.He even smells a bit. Just not long ago, he takes a bath. This time his ranking up is even more intense than before.No doubt that this has something to do with the skill that he had ranked up. The Ei
He shakes his head trying to push it all from his mind.‘It is better to regain back my inner energy’ he thought to himself.He continues regulating his inner energy and throws out any useless thoughts.His chest heaved up and down and in fifteen minutes, he had raises a bit of his inner energy.Li Xin opens his eyes and shakes his head‘This is too terrible. My inner energy skill is too terrible’ he thought to himself. Of course, he did not expect that five minutes would restore all of his inner skill.But he could feel that there is only a bit of inner energy that have been restored. He did not even expect one forth.But it is less than that. He almost drained all thirty years of his inner energy. All he could restore is around five days of inner energy.‘Haish’ he could only sigh at the effect‘Still- ‘he said as he looks at the status window of the Eighteen Dragon Subdu
‘I am impatient to leave this forest and enter Jianghu. I could not care less about who else in the mountain. All I care about right now is accumulating points!’ he grumbles under his breath.He of course had the idea of searching that person who attacked him from behind.But thinking about it again, why does he have to do it?His objective after all is not to seek that person.Of course, he could probably get a quest if he began searching for that person but if he comes down the mountain and interact with the people in Jianghu, he would also get quest.And probably it is less dangerous. Li Xin is not a coward. After all, with his skill, he also had confidence.But, is it worth his time?As long as that person did not attack him or hinder him, Li Xin do not have the time. And was there any need to create enmity‘Wait a minute?’ That person already created enmity with him by throwing that needle. Bu
As for upgrading the rank or buying new skill, he decided to do it in the evening or at night. He would let his mind rest for a bit. He already has too much information poured into his mind and he ought to take it slow a bit.It seems that his mental energy is not that strong yet.He swipes the status window with his hand and then he enters back his house. He then eats some snack made of meat something like a beef jerky.This time he did not want to bathe in the tub.The sun is shining bright overhead so he wanted to swim in the river. There is a small stream of river, deep enough for him to submerged himself and large enough for him to swim aroundThe ancient world seems to be more hospitable to life.The air is so clear that just by inhaling it, his headache feel a bit lightened. If this is a normal headache, he would surely be cured of it in just a couple of minute.Maybe, it is also because this world is a bit different than his w
This sigh is because he once felt such feeling.Even though it is now hazy, Li Xin remembers that when he active the One Sword technique, there is that feeling that everywhere his sword pointed, the surrounding area is under his control.None of the sword of the enemy could touch him and none of their attack could even reach himIn that moment, he is the sword and wherever he pointed is the area of death.Everyone is waiting for Dugu Qingfeng to make his move.Everyone is paying attention because those who came here who have deep attainment in martial arts know that a battle between masters does not take so long.When they strike, they have the confidence to win in that one strike. If this is sparring, they might trade a few swings here and there but this is a battle of life and deathIf they could end it with one strike, why not?This is the reason why battle between masters sometimes is boring.When they are evenly matched, they will exchange moves and flashy moves and fancy techniq
Dugu Qingfeng wear a blue attire, and he seems like a debonair young hero. Wu Ming is dressed in white; his face is expressionless and his eyes is cold. Looking at him, it almost appears like he is detached from the world. That everywhere he walks, he walks in a world of his own and everything beside him is isolated Everyone who looks at these two people on the city wall feel differently But there is one similarity that all of these people seem to share and that is the feeling of awe toward these two people rising from their heart. Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng look at each other. Even though the distance between them is ten feet away from each other, it was like they are in front of each other, only inches apart ‘Hero Li who do you think would win?’ Zhang Kuo asked. Li Xin shook his head. Zhang Kuo nodded. Qingxuan who is also proficient in the sword also could not speculate. The level is too high and she sat so low, so how could she humiliate herself trying to give an answer to
Li Xin is not surprised that some people chose today to try to attack Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.However, it was so many people, it was like every corner of the city is full of people wanting to fight Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.It is too coincidentalThree days ago, when Dugu Qingfeng is in the Red Building and Wu Ming in the White pagoda, no one come and challenges them.They could always just shout their challenge and knowing Dugu Qingfeng, he might accept.And if anyone could walk through the Immortal Forest and pass through the Village of the Defeated, they could always try to challenge Wu Ming if they are really determined to do sobut they waited for today and like clockwork, all single challengers come fighting them today, those who have feuds, blood debt and even assassins of all kinds, all appeared in droves like a swarmLi Xin is confident that there is someone behind the scene that is directing these peoplethe kind of people that could mobilize this many people and have th
Li Xin is surrounded by beautiful fairy. This is the thought of every man looking at him walking around with two beauties alongside him.Some people even envy Zhang Kuo who is talking and laughing with Li Xin. They never though a proud sons of the List could be so easygoingThe proud sons and daughter of the List referred to those people on the top ten of the Tianji Pavilion List.Most of these proud sons and daughters of the list usually would become a large figure in the future if they were allowed to grow. Many of those in the list before has turned into legends and figures of aweThe last time such list shows itself those in the list that survives now become ancestors of a great clan, a grandmaster, or even the head sect of powerful schools.Of course, there are also people who in the list who became legend and goes into seclusion.Hence why many of those people in the list is usually unapproachable and have their own arrogance.And not many people dare approach such high and nobl
It brushed past them and the moment it brushed them; they feel like their entire body is frozen. Their thoughts and their move were all frozenIt was like time itself is frozen. They look around in this frozen like state and sees that even the wind seems to have stopped, the dust seems to have halted in midair instead of rising upThen they feel warmth.But the more they feel this warmth, the more terrified they became.Because they feel this warmth from their neck. And then this warmth is slowly flowing out, and then drips down from their neckAnd as this warmth drips out, a different kind of coldness seems to seize them heart and soulIt took them a few second before they understand.Their throat was cut. But how? These are the question in their mind before they fall down to the ground, face forward, blood flowing out from a cut on their neck.Then their head slide down from their neck. Dugu Qingfeng cut them so cleanly like it uses a sharp knife to cut a part of a tofu.The blood s
The saber seems to be so fast it cut the wind but Dugu Qingfeng only sidestep to the side, and the saber misses it target.In that moment, Dugu Qingfeng simply smiles and flick his finger, a powerful energy was flicked off from the tip of his finger and the saber changes its trajectory.That person feels the grip of the saber loosen. And in that brief moment, Dugu Qingfeng made a grabbing motion with his hand.‘No!’Before the man could utter these words, the saber on his hand was grabbed by Dugu Qingfeng.The man somersaulted backward, trying to put a distance between him and Dugu QingfengBut how could Dugu Qingfeng let him go just like that?He dashes forward and make a slashing motion.Swish!The sound of shirts tearing, a scream echoes and the people watching all widened their eyes.That person with the saber attack in a hurry, charging like a rushing bull yet retreated even faster than expected.<
But Wu Ming is about to walk again.And Yang Xuan could not let him go.He jumps to the air coming out from the bushes and appears in front of Wu MingWu Ming lazily looked at him.But he did not move his sword‘Wu Ming, didn’t you see what you have done?’People may call him the Sword God and Uncrowned King of Sword but in front of Yang Xuan he is still a juniorEven though he is not as strong as Wu Ming, it is a fact that Wu Ming is his junior so he could speak like this.Wu Ming look around. Even though some people hide behind bushes now that their mind and heart is disturbed, their location could easily be seen.He sighed.He did not say it with his words but one could tell he looks at these people with disdain.But who really knows what he is thinking?But some people believe that his eyes seem to be conveying, if you are not powerful, they why do you dare watch it?But
The great school disciple come simply because they wanted to see the famous Wu Ming.Most of them is the disciples, the senior brother of the generation of their school and they come here just to watch the demeanor and to watch the battle between Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.But while some people are waiting near the entrance gate to watch the battle, they wanted to see Wu Ming journey to the gate.The disciple of the great schools knows more thing than the common people.They seem to know that there will be people that could not stand the itch and tries to fight Wu Ming todayEven though there is portrait of him circulating all over Wulin, it is not the same as seeing him directly.And it is not the same as watching him uses the sword in person than just by listening to the story of storytellers.As for the sword sect, Wu Ming might not call himself a swordsman but everyone knows his sword is sublime and ethereal.For someone wh
The sword pointed to the ground, the blood dripping down from the tip hitting the ground.All those people being stabbed by him all falls to the ground, twitched a few times, coughed up some blood or look at him with hatred and not before long, there is no breathWhether they look him with hatred or not, in the end, their body could not withstand the sword energy ravaging all over their body and they all die one after anotherThe wind blows and there is only silence.Wu Ming stop moving, he halts his step and the wind blows his white robe, the blood dripping from the edges of the sword to the tip of the swordThis is Wu Ming.He kills people with style and elegance.One could even say he kills people so beautiful that it would not be a bad death to die under his sword‘What a Sword God!’ some people thought of this when they see this battle. It doesn’t feel like he is killing people at all.It was more
