Chapter 55: Entering the Ninth Rank
How could Mei Cheng'an, with his explosive temper, tolerate such humiliation? As a younger sister, she dared to throw insults at her brother, which was simply going against the will of heaven.
Mei Cheng'an did not hesitate to form an alliance with Versace and join the battle.
Versace was being beaten back step by step and was about to give up resistance. With the joining of Mei Chengan, Versace suddenly gained confidence.
The fight between the two sides was in full swing and becoming increasingly fierce.
Soon everyone was soaked. Mei Cheng'an accidentally saw Wang Qinian who was watching the game happily on the side, so he scooped up some water and splashed it over to him.
Laughing, baring your teeth and grinning, you like to watch the fun, right? Come on, don't just sit there.
Unexpectedly, Mei Cheng'an had been fighting for a long time and was exhausted. His accuracy in splashing water was a little off, and the water did not hit Wang Qinian, but instead hit Mrs. Wang's head.
Mrs. Wang was immediately furious.
"Mei Chengan!!!"
Soon a three-way melee began. This time there was no targeting, or rather, it was an indiscriminate attack on everyone.
The battle ended with Wang Qinian and his wife unilaterally declaring victory.
The people on the other two ships had just been fighting for half a day and were exhausted. Otherwise, it would be unknown who would win, so how could they possibly accept the defeat?
I'm just too tired to refute them.
Back on shore, everyone changed their clothes. There is a lake in Akihabara, so they brought spare clothes to avoid any accidents.
Mei Cheng'an and Wang Qinian naturally did not change it because they had no need for it.
The amazing thing is that Little Pork Belly actually slept until now, until he was awakened by Mrs. Wang.
After changing their clothes, the exhausted crowd had no mood to visit the maple forest anymore, so they packed up and started their journey home.
Wang Qinian and his wife's carriage was still in the front.
Mei Cheng'an was so tired that he lay down in the carriage. Hongshu, with a look of heartache on his face, massaged his arms.
"I'm just tired from playing water fight, nothing much."
"Master is rarely this tired."
"Haha, indeed, it opens today."
When he got to the point, Mei Chengan's expression became extremely strange.
Sweet potato was startled.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Mei Chengan gave her a strange look.
"It's okay. I feel my Qi loosening up a bit. I might be about to...break through."
Sweet Potato was surprised at first and then ecstatic.
"Great! Great, Master!"
"Uh... isn't this a good thing? Why does the young master look like that?"
Why? Because he couldn't understand it. He was still waiting to break through the true qi through fighting with the shadow, and then successfully attack the acupoints and break through to the ninth level in one fell swoop. In the end, he was defeated. Is he going to break through now? Do you dare to be more careless?
What did he do today? He just played a game of Go, lost some money, had a barbecue, had a competition, and had a water fight. He didn't do anything else.
Which is the breakthrough point? Please, can someone tell me? Mei Chengan roared in his heart.
Obviously no one would answer him.
When indecisive, quantum mechanics, it must be caused by Shadow constantly nagging him during his business trip, yes, that must be it.
It has to be you, the black-robed monster, who has something special.
Mei Chengan's expression returned to calm.
……
When the convoy lined up at the city gate to enter the city, everyone began to say goodbye to each other.
Mei Cheng'an asked Wang Qinian to return the carriage directly to the carriage shop. Seeing Wang Qinian hesitating, Mei Cheng'an rolled his eyes and added that the money had been paid. Only then did Wang Qinian's expression light up with joy.
Mei Yuxi held Fan Ruoruo's hand and whispered to her. Fansizhe also said goodbye to his close comrade-in-arms Mei Chengan and said that he would definitely invite him next time there was such an activity.
Mei Chengan smiled on the surface, but he was actually annoyed in his heart.
Not enough winnings, is it?
When it was their turn to enter the city, Mei Cheng'an said goodbye to Xiao Wuhuarou for the last time.
After entering the city and walking for a while, the first people to leave the caravan were Wang Qinian and his wife. The Fan family's carriage followed all the way to the Mei Mansion, and then headed south.
Mei Cheng'an returned to his own courtyard and went straight into the house.
The breakthrough of true Qi may happen tonight.
In order to avoid being interrupted, Mei Cheng'an told Hongshu that if he didn't come out before dinner, he should tell Mei Zhili that he would skip dinner if he ate too much at noon.
Inside the small room, Mei Cheng'an sat cross-legged on the bed, with his five hearts facing the sky, his eyes closed, silently reciting mantras, and observing the flow of his true energy through inner vision.
The activity of the true Qi at this time was frighteningly high. As the exercises were performed, it circulated in his meridians in circles, becoming thicker and more active with each circulation. Mei Chengan could only desperately compress the true Qi, control its path, and prevent it from running wild.
Time kept ticking by, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. Mei Chengan was still compressing his Qi. Every time he compressed a part, the Qi would quickly replenish and continue to grow. Mei Chengan could only continue to compress. After another hour, the Qi's agitation finally stopped. At this time, the Qi in Mei Chengan's body had only grown a little bit compared to before, but the Qi density was more than five times the original.
The destructive power and the repair power were greatly increased. As the true qi circulated, the meridians once again fell into a process of continuous breaking and repairing. However, this time there was no need to worry about becoming a blood gourd, because the repair was extremely fast. It was broken in the last second and healed in the next second.
Mei Cheng'an felt it carefully and found that the growth rate of his true Qi had become extremely slow compared to before. Previously, he could see a slight increase with each circle he ran, but now he could hardly feel the growth of his true Qi after each circle. It was not until he extended the observation time that Mei Cheng'an confirmed that his true Qi had indeed improved.
The repair of the ruptured meridians lasted for two hours before gradually stopping. At this time, the meridians in his body had become extremely tough and could fully adapt to this true energy.
Mei Cheng'an opened his eyes and looked at his hands. He wanted to try the power of the internal energy in his body, but it was already midnight. He was afraid that he would wake everyone up if he couldn't control himself. He got up from the bed and walked back and forth in the room several times before he gradually suppressed his inner restlessness.
Stay calm, stay calm. It's not over yet. There's still the last acupoint that has not been impacted. However, your true Qi has already broken through, so impacting the acupoint should be no problem. There's no need to rush.
The Qi breakthrough lasted for six hours, and he was really hungry at this moment.
Mei Cheng'an called in Hongshu who was waiting outside the door.
Sweet Potato pushed the door open and walked in with a nervous look on his face.
"Master...has made a breakthrough?"
Mei Chengan nodded.
"Well, there is a small breakthrough."
Sweet Potato continued to ask.
"Ninth rank?"
Mei Chengan nodded and shook his head.
"Not yet, but soon."
Sweet potato's expression suddenly became ecstatic, and she was even happier than she was about her own breakthrough.
After taking a few deep breaths, Sweet Potato calmed down.
"Master, are you hungry? I'll go get you some food."
After saying that, he turned and ran out.
Mei Cheng'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry. You even learned to answer questions quickly.
Sweet potato came back very quickly. She had prepared it the moment the young master came out before dinner, and served it after heating it up.
Mei Cheng'an ate voraciously, and his eating posture did not look good because he was too hungry.
He ate up all the food on the small table like a piece of scrap paper, and drank two bowls of tea. Only then did Mei Chengan feel a little full.
After eating and drinking, she took a comfortable bath with the help of Hongshu, and then Mei Chengan let her rest.
After Hongshu left, Mei Chengan first closed his eyes and rested until he felt in the best condition, then he re-entered the state of practice.
He carefully controlled the Qi to flow up along the spine to Fengfu, which was the last major checkpoint for the Qi to enter the brain.
Mei Cheng'an held his breath and concentrated his mind to continuously gather his true energy, then controlled the true energy with five times the density and violently crashed into Feng Mansion. This time he easily broke through the door. Mei Cheng'an only felt his mind become clear, and a refreshing feeling instantly spread from his brain to his whole body, making him feel like he was floating in the air.
Mei Cheng'an was very clear that this was not foolproof. Fengfu was just the gateway, and the acupoints behind it still could not be relaxed.
Mei Cheng'an quickly withdrew from the mysterious feeling just now, carefully controlling his true energy to continue to rush upwards, breaking through small acupoints one by one with a single poke, until the Baihui point, which became a little more troublesome, but he finally broke through after several attacks.
The true energy flowed along the Baihui point, passed through the cranial meridian and reached the Shenting point, successfully connecting with Ren Mai.
The moment the connection was established, Mei Cheng'an felt an extremely intense vibration taking place in himself. The most obvious thing was that the speed of his true Qi suddenly increased, so fast that it was a little scary. It kept circulating along the various meridians in his body, and its growth rate was several times faster than when he just broke through. His spiritual consciousness also suddenly doubled in size at this moment, and was still expanding.
The changes lasted for an hour before gradually subsiding.
At this moment, the spiritual consciousness in Mei Cheng'an's mind was about three times larger than before, his true energy became stronger again, and its density increased by 20%.
At this point, the circulation of true Qi in all the meridians in his body was completely connected, and it was in resonance with the outside world. With each breath, the exercises operated on their own, endlessly.
Ninth rank...is finally here.
Mei Cheng'an took a deep breath and opened his eyes silently. He suddenly realized that the room in front of him had changed. How to say it, it had become very vivid, extremely vivid.
As far as he could see, he could clearly see every detail in the room. The places that were originally dark under the lamp became clearly visible. This was just seeing with his eyes. If he used his spiritual sense, he could even hear the sound of a tiny flying insect flapping its wings, as well as every detail of the texture on the flying insect. If he tried harder, the movements of the flying insect would become extremely slow in his senses.
After carefully "observing" for a long time, Mei Cheng'an suddenly felt a slight pain in his brain.
Oops!
Mei Cheng'an hurriedly exited this state of observation. It was his first time using the power of his spiritual sense and he was a little excited. He forgot about time and accidentally overused it.
He closed his eyes and practiced Qigong for a long time, but the bloating and pain showed no sign of going away. Instead, it made Mei Chengan feel even more mentally exhausted.
Mei Cheng'an sighed. It seems that everything should be done in moderation. Too much is as bad as too little.
Gradually, the fatigue in his brain quickly spread throughout his body. Mei Cheng'an could no longer maintain his posture and fell headfirst onto the bed.
I’m so tired and sleepy, I’m going to sleep.
