Chapter 10 : Meridians and Special Physique

Ning Lian told me to come with her and Rong to the place she had prepared for my sister meridian formation ceremony, it was a place close to our daily training spot or from Rong’s perspective our daily hangout spot.

Ning Lian led us through winding pathways and dense foliage until we reached a secluded spot nestled against the rugged cliffs overlooking the ocean.

Hidden from prying eyes by a thick canopy of trees, the entrance to the cave was obscured by layers of concealment formations, woven from the finest materials and imbued with potent qi.

As we stepped into the cavernous interior, I couldn't help but marvel at the intricate network of formations that adorned the walls and ceiling.

Each one was a work of art in its own right, meticulously crafted to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings while providing unparalleled protection and security.

The cave itself was spacious, with high vaulted ceilings and smooth stone floors worn smooth by centuries of use.

Shafts of sunlight filtered through narrow cracks in the rock, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow across the chamber.

Ning Lian led us deeper into the cave, her footsteps echoing softly against the stone walls.

Along the way, we passed several alcoves and side passages, each one guarded by an array of defense formations designed to repel any intruders or unwanted guests.

Finally, we reached a large chamber at the heart of the cave, bathed in the soft glow of bioluminescent fungi that clung to the walls. In the center of the chamber stood a raised platform, adorned with intricate runes and symbols that pulsed with a faint blue light.

“All these runes with also help conceal any sound , light or smell from reaching outside the area of their influence and with formations outside it should completely conceal any kind of activity happening inside this cave.” Ning lian said looking confident.

“ Although I doubt there would be anymore surprises after her special physique awakened last time but I think caution is necessary “

she seem to be thinking about something , but the formations here are most likely of our clans best formation master a Level 2 and one of our elders and I have never heard of anyone above that level on seven great islands and even among clan strong holds only our Ning clan and lin clan are the only ones with Level 3 formation protecting their respective clan bases making it very difficult for even a group of foundation establishment cultivators to invade the or infiltrate the clan stronghold .

Although we even have books till Level 3 but no one seemed capable of learning and comprehending it to good enough levels.

"Rong, are you feeling nervous?" I taunted . "Do you need a hug? Don't start crying all of a sudden." I teased, flashing her a mischievous grin.

The impending meridian formation ceremony had her on edge, and I couldn't resist the urge to poke fun at her.

Her reaction was exactly as I anticipated – a mixture of irritation and indignation. She shot me a fiery glare that could have scorched the walls of the cave we were standing in , her eyes narrowed at my teasing, a hint of indignation flickering in their depths.

"I'm not nervous!" she retorted, her voice tinged with defiance. "And I definitely don't need a hug from you."

I chuckled at her reaction, knowing full well that she was just trying to save face like a true cultivator . "Sure, sure, whatever you say, Rong," I replied, feigning innocence. "But you know, they say the meridian formation process can be quite painful. Are you sure you're ready for it?"

Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she shot me a glare that could have melted steel. "Of course I'm ready!" she snapped, her tone defensive. "And I'll have you know, I'm not afraid of a little pain."

I raised an eyebrow skeptically. "Oh, really? Because you're looking a little green around the gills," I teased, enjoying the way her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. " So you're saying you wouldn't scream like a banshee if it hurt too much?" I teased, grinning like a cat who had caught a particularly juicy mouse.

Before she could respond, she lashed out with a well-aimed punch, catching me off guard and sending me stumbling backwards. "Ouch! What was that for?" I exclaimed, rubbing my arm where she had hit me.

Her cheeks flushed even redder, but she refused to meet my gaze, choosing instead to focus on the ground beneath her feet. "I-I didn't mean to..." she muttered, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Violent little thing, aren't you?" I teased, unable to resist getting in one last jab. "You're practically a Yandere in the making!"

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

She rolled her eyes at my exaggerated reaction, but I could see a hint of amusement lurking beneath her irritation. "You asked for it," she replied smugly, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

Ning Rong seemed confused at the familiar term, and I couldn't help but laugh at her puzzled expression. "What's a Yandere? you keep on calling me that" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

"Oh, you know, it's just a term for someone who's sweet on the outside but secretly violent and possessive on the inside," I explained, enjoying her bewilderment. "Kind of like you! , but not there yet and I call you tsundere not yandere. "

Ning Lian raised an eyebrow at our banter, clearly amused by our antics. "What's that, dear?" she inquired, turning her attention to Ning Rong and me.

"Oh, uh, nothing, Mother," I replied hastily, hoping to deflect her attention. sometimes I forget that I am in a different world .

But it was too late – the damage had already been done. Ning Rong shot me a look of pure exasperation.

Ning Rong shrugged nonchalantly, pretending innocence. "Nothing, Mother," she replied with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. "Just Feng being his usual weird self."

I grinned unapologetically, revelling in the playful banter that had become a hallmark of our relationship. Despite the nerves and uncertainty that surrounded us, moments like these reminded me that i still had people I cared about .

Ning Rong had a smile on her face now.

Mission accomplished

As Ning Rong's smile spread across her face, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. It seemed that my efforts to ease her tension had succeeded, at least for the moment.

With her smile signaling a shift in mood, I watched as the tension gradually seeped away from her features, replaced by a sense of calm determination.

With a deep breath, Ning Rong settled into her position, ready to begin the process of forming her meridians.

I observed her with a mixture of pride and apprehension, knowing that what lay ahead would not be easy. The formation of meridians was a crucial step in a cultivator's journey, but it was also a painful and arduous process.

After all I raised her.

I wiped off an imaginary tear. She looked at me like I was an idiot.

As Ning Rong closed her eyes and focused her concentration, I could sense the gravity of the moment. This was a pivotal moment in her cultivation path.

I spread my soul sense and tried to Understand what will happen inside her body this will be important data , though I have read a lot and understand a lot of theory seeing it is completely different.

As I observed Ning Rong undergoing the process of meridian formation, I couldn't help but notice the instability of her soul sense and the abnormal behavior of her spiritual roots.

It was clear that something was off, and I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of my stomach.

With each passing moment, I could see the pain etched on Ning Rong's face as she endured the grueling process.

The formation of meridians was no easy task, especially for someone as young as her.

But despite the pain, she remained resolute, her determination shining through even in the face of adversity.

I watched as a myriad of meridians began to form, intertwining and weaving their way through her body like intricate pathways of energy.

These qi-carrying veins connected to the area above her naval, known as the dantian, where all her Qi would eventually form as she continued her cultivation journey.

It was a sight to behold, seeing the foundations of her future power taking shape before my eyes.

But as the process continued, I couldn't help but notice something strange about Ning Rong's eyes.

The dark pink color seemed to have a rainbowish hue on the outer parts of her iris, while the inner part remained unchanged.

And even her hair, particularly her bangs, seemed to have a similar rainbowish hue. It was as if she were bathed in an otherworldly light, her appearance reminiscent of that of a child goddess.

In that moment, I couldn't help but compare her looks to that of a child goddess, her beauty transcending the boundaries of mortal perception. But as I marveled at her appearance, a sense of dread crept over me.

I cursed under my breath, knowing all too well the problems that her beauty would bring. In the world of cultivation, being a jade beauty was both a blessing and a curse, attracting attention and danger in equal measure.

But despite my frustrations, I knew that now was not the time for that. Ning Rong needed my support, and I would do everything in my power to help her through this ordeal. As the process continued, I remained by her side, offering words of encouragement and comfort as she endured the pain and discomfort.

And even as the process dragged on, I could see the determination in Ning Rong's eyes. She refused to give up, pushing through the pain with a strength and resilience that amazed me. It was a testament to her character, to her unwavering resolve in the face of adversity.

As the hours passed, I could sense that the end was near. The formation of Ning Rong's meridians was almost complete, and soon she would emerge stronger and more powerful than ever before. But for now, all I could do was wait and watch.

There is something weird going on around her left eye , it was as if .. here Qi is moving around that part and something is making that possible there are patterns forming in that region of her skull

Presumably linking to the nerves that are connected to her eye and it seems like something like that has already happened around her right

I think it must have been on the day she knocked out Ning dong and those patterns are actually shining and conducting qi but they are very hazy .

those patterns are a conduit for qi and I know one other thing which does same thing ‘Runes’ wait is that how runes were discovered and after generations upon generations of cultivator events similar to these in nature were they able to create runes

Later They discovered principles based on which you can manipulate or what I like to call code them to your liking like we would with a coding language and every coding language have its syntax which perform certain things

By following rules of that language you can basically have computer whatever you want and in this case Qi , People are creative whatever the world although number of cultivators are low they still have a history of 300,000 years after all.

But what made it possible , I think I will have to wait for own 5th birthday to pass for that. Mother doesn’t care about things like these just every other cultivator for them they don’t understand how someone gains a special physique nor do they care all they care about are results.

The moment she opened her eyes I knew she has successfully completed the process and what I saw shocked me both her eyes had four petaled flower shape over her iris faintly visible because they had slightly different lighter hue of pink compared to her iris same is true for the rainbowish hue .

Then there was pink lightning everywhere as she disappeared and appeared before me in short amount of time .

Bloody hell , she is faster than those Body tempering clan disciples I have seen who were most likely at low Body tempering.
