The biggest gain
Chapter 172 The biggest gain
Feeling the coolness of the Yongquan point on the sole of his left foot, Chen Miao was somewhat stunned.
"Why is this happening?"
When Chen Miao was a child, he also thought he was a genius because he never used scratch paper when doing math problems.
When his family sees him doing his homework, they always think he's just writing nonsense.
But when I checked the notebook, everything was correct!
Chen Miao was quite proud of this for several years.
But later, reality told him that he was only somewhat smart, and far from being a genius.
As Chen Miao grew older and learned more, he realized that he had been wrong again.
He's far from being intelligent, and far from being a genius.
But what is happening now?
Could it be that he's a genius in this field?
After a while of wild thoughts, Chen Miao abandoned his unrealistic daydreams and began to explore why this situation had occurred.
If we exclude the possibility that he is a genius, then the most likely cause for this to happen is [absorbing Yin].
If one had to pinpoint the difference between him and ordinary people who enter the Yin realm, it would only be the source of his Yin energy.
The yin energy he cultivated wasn't from any legitimate source.
Apart from that, neither the methods for enlightenment nor the related knowledge are particularly special.
Why does it have this effect of absorbing yin?
Chen Miao raised his hand and reactivated the Yin Absorption Technique.
This time, he closed his eyes.
Feeling the pale blue light particles gathering towards his palm, Chen Miao suddenly noticed something different.
Not only was the Yin energy in the surrounding environment gathering towards his palm, but the blue light cluster at the Yongquan Ghost Gate beneath his feet was also constantly emitting Yin energy particles that converged towards his palm.
It doesn't come from within the body, but from outside!
Those particles of yin energy were drawn out from the Yongquan point on the soles of the feet!
Just like when the Yin energy was extracted from the Soul-Suppressing Domain.
Chen Miao watched as the yin energy in Yongquan was gradually drawn away and gathered in his palm.
Opening his eyes, Chen Miao looked at his empty palms.
"what is this?"
Chen Miao suddenly wanted to call Zhong Cai to ask if the yin energy that had entered the orifice could be extracted.
But after thinking about it, Chen Miao gave up.
No matter how you look at it, such a thing is highly unlikely, just like Yue Xiaodao who set up the Soul-Suppressing Field under the Big Locust Tree, and Feng Bujue who buried himself in Fengmen Village.
They probably never considered that someone could extract the yin energy from the soul-suppressing field and feng shui arrangement.
"Is 'absorbing Yin' really that special?"
"No, even before the promotion, Juyin had already shown its special characteristics."
"So, the simultaneous opening of all nine orifices this time is also due to the absorption of Yin?"
Soon, Chen Miao realized something.
Helping others enter the underworld—wouldn't that test whether their ability to absorb the underworld is special?
But he quickly gave up on this idea.
When Chen Miao awakened his own senses, he was able to perceive the changes within those senses.
However, if you try to enlighten others, they will not be able to understand the specific situation at all.
If his guess is wrong, then something terrible will happen.
Unless he can perceive the condition of others' orifices as he perceives the condition of his own, it would be more prudent to try using Yin absorption.
"Currently, closed-eye perception cannot achieve this. If closed-eye perception can also be improved, perhaps it can."
"Unfortunately, so far, apart from knowing that zombies can obtain the Yin-gathering status, none of the other statuses are repeated."
"I wonder if I can enhance my perception once I've nurtured my Heavenly Spirit Yin Aperture to a certain level?"
Chen Miao recalled the abilities related to the Nine Apertures and felt that the Heavenly Spirit Yin Aperture should be more related to mental abilities.
There might be an opportunity.
However, all of this was still premature. Chen Miao then began to consider how to utilize the situation where all nine orifices were open.
Zhong Cai's words were still ringing in my ears.
Trying to do too much at once will only lead to failure and prevent one from going further on the path of Yin cultivation.
The problem is, Chen Miao has absolutely no idea how to proceed with the path of Yin cultivation!
Apart from the recently acquired "Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique," none of the miscellaneous skills he acquired involved cultivation.
The "Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique" was merely a draft created by the compiler of the "Extreme Yin Corpse Refining Secret Record," and it contained no distinction between realms or any explanations.
There are only some body-strengthening postures, and methods of collision between extreme yin and yang.
Therefore, even if Chen Miao doesn't try to do too much, he won't go very far down this path.
With that, Chen Miao had nothing left to worry about.
"Nine orifices are equivalent to nine abilities."
"This is very useful for me in dealing with complex and ever-changing situations."
"However, can the abilities of these nine orifices be switched at will?"
Chen Miao closed his eyes again and inserted yin energy into the ghost vein in his right little finger.
Because there was no longer a need for enlightenment, the yin energy entered smoothly.
In less than a minute, the ghost vein in the finger was already filled with yin energy, and no more could be stuffed in.
Then, Chen Miao tried to stuff Yin energy into the Yongquan Ghost Gate at his feet.
But this time, the yin energy couldn't get in no matter what.
"As expected, the body can only hold one breath of Yin energy, and it's impossible to stuff more into it."
"It's like there's a special valve on each of the nine orifices, and the nine valves are interconnected."
"Once the yin energy in one orifice reaches the target level, the other eight orifices must close their valves."
Thinking of this, Chen Miao once again used the Yin Absorption Technique to extract half of the Yin energy from the ghost meridian in his fingers, and then divided this half into several parts and stuffed them into several other acupoints.
"In this way, I can retain yin energy in all nine orifices at the same time."
"Therefore, nine abilities can be activated simultaneously!"
"But the problem is that, in this way, the power of each aperture is only one-ninth of the original."
After thinking about it, Chen Miao felt that this wouldn't work.
One-ninth is far too little.
Perhaps the ghosts that could originally be seen with the ability to see ghosts and spirits will be reduced to one-ninth of their original size, and then they will no longer be visible. This is a very dangerous situation.
After thinking it over, Chen Miao tried again.
He first filled the finger veins with ghost veins, and then simultaneously performed the extraction and insertion operations.
While extracting yin energy from the ghost veins, yin energy is also inserted into the Yongquan point on the soles of the feet.
In just one minute, Chen Miao switched from Ghost Pulse to Ghost Gate.
"Can this speed be increased?"
Chen Miao tried several more times, but to no avail.
Even though he increased the concentration of Yin energy, the speed at which it entered the body was still just as fast.
Even the concentration of yin energy is weakened to a level that the 'orifice' can withstand when it enters the body.
"One minute should be enough under normal circumstances, unless it's a situation like fighting a flying zombie."
After the test, Chen Miao suddenly burst out laughing.
"I never expected that the biggest gain this time would be 'Fragments of Memory Without the Wind'."
Nine orifices, nine abilities.
It's equivalent to nine miscellaneous skills.
"So, these states might still hold many untapped treasures."
Chen Miao glanced at his own status updates, lost in thought.
