The Martial Doctor

Inside the quiet chamber.

Helian Wanwan sat cross-legged, the internal energy in her Dantian surged wildly after consuming the medicine Lin Miao prescribed. After regulating her body, whatever needed repairing was done.

Her body reached its optimal state.

As a seasoned expert at the Great Perfection of the Meridian Realm, she understood well that success required a single burst of effort. Any hesitation would give rise to a Heart Demon, and the consequences were obvious, evident in many experts’ experiences of breakthrough failures.

In fact, Helian Wanwan had failed once before. If not for the spiritual medicine from the Snow Mountain Sect aiding her recovery, she wouldn’t have had a second chance.

Even so, Helian Wanwan still retained hidden injuries from that failed breakthrough, and the Snow Mountain Sect couldn’t possibly provide her with resources for a second attempt. After all, they had already provided help once, remediation with spiritual medicine, her recovery, but the Snow Mountain Sect was not Helian Wanwan’s family.

Otherwise, Helian Wanwan wouldn’t be so determined to obtain the Celestial Essence Fruit, and sending out Lianxin and Liansuo also had elements of personal interest.

To accumulate the resources needed for a second breakthrough opportunity, she needed money, and selling "disciples" couldn’t be openly discussed...

Actually, if not for Lin Miao’s impressive ability to earn money, Helian Wanwan would have been inclined towards that person from the Yue family.

After all, the betrothal gifts from the Yue family were substantial, but compared to what Lin Miao offered the Snow Mountain Sect, it was negligible.

Some things are judged by actions, not intentions. In terms of intentions, no one is perfect.

If she hadn’t met Lin Miao, she probably wouldn’t have had the chance for a second breakthrough this soon. As she aged, her physical functions would gradually decline, making the chance for breakthroughs increasingly slim.

"Young Master."

A voice called near her ear, it was Lianxin’s voice. She was prepared for the final push to breakthrough, naturally needing someone like Protector to guard, thus leaving Lianxin outside the door.

"How is Mr. Helian?" Lin Miao’s voice sounded, Helian Wanwan was merely the teacher of Lianxin and Liansuo, so Lin Miao consistently addressed her by her position in the Snow Mountain Sect.

"Master said, you told her that if she’s ready for the breakthrough, to notify you," Lianxin replied.

"Alright, I will go in, stay outside and don’t let anyone disturb," Lin Miao nodded, although Helian Wanwan reached the threshold of her breakthrough with the aid of the Celestial Essence Fruit, she still had a significant chance of failure.

Considering her experience with failure, a certain psychological shadow was left, which could affect her mindset during the breakthrough.

"Mr. Helian, I’m here."

"Thank you, Lin!" Helian Wanwan saw Lin Miao, her heart settled unexpectedly from initial hesitancy to a feeling of "ease."

"Please proceed with your breakthrough confidently, if any issues arise, I will intervene to assist!" Lin Miao nodded.

"Thank you."

Helian Wanwan nodded slightly, retrieving the jade box containing the "Celestial Essence Fruit," she took out the fruit and directly ingested it.

The Celestial Essence Fruit instantly melted into a stream of fluid, flowing down her throat into her stomach.

She felt a surge of heat rushing towards her Dantian, transforming into waves of extremely pure internal energy, turbulently flowing through the meridians.

The Celestial Essence Fruit indeed lived up to its reputation as a powerful spiritual medicine for breakthroughs and leveling up, just after consuming it, Helian Wanwan felt she clearly touched the ceiling that had been obstructing her progression.

Moreover, under the impact of internal energy surging through, the once thick barrier began thinning.

This process was painful, there’s no shortcut on the cultivation path, to gain powerful strength, one must put in a hundredfold effort and endure pain.

Meridian Passage Realm, as the name implies, is to clear the Ren and Du Meridians, forming a minor circulation within the body.

Once the Ren and Du Meridians are cleared, one is considered to have advanced to the Meridian Realm.

However, those who clear the Ren and Du Meridians might not necessarily clear the Twelve Main Meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

If one can clear the Twelve Main Meridians and Eight Extraordinary Meridians before reaching the Meridian Realm, the future breakthrough to Celestial Essence is practically guaranteed.

Not all martial artists will clear them, typically clearing three main meridians is enough for advancing to the Meridian Realm.

This is the lower limit, while the upper limit is total clearance.

To breakthrough to the Celestial Essence, at least half of the main meridians must be cleared, otherwise, there’s a high chance of failure.

Experts at the Meridian Realm usually don’t continue clearing the Twelve Main Meridians because they don’t know about this limitation and need, and not even aware of what the Twelve Main Meridians are?

Many cultivation techniques only include paths for energy flow, combined with inadequate cultivation practices, and individual understanding differences, hence, regardless of how powerful a technique is, not everyone can breakthrough to the Celestial Essence.

Si Miaoxue and others, with Lin Miao’s guidance, breakthrough and advancement to Celestial Essence were naturally easy. This was also the secret he discovered from Baili Yuyao and Fahai’s breakthroughs and advancements.

Actually, upon reaching the Meridian Realm, it’s best not to rush to improve cultivation levels, but to refine and consolidate cultivation, clearing as many meridians as possible, ideally all of them.

Though this consumes time and delays the breakthrough, the benefit is once breaking through to Celestial Essence, combat strength surges significantly.

Moreover, refining cultivation and clearing meridians at the Meridian Realm increases the capacity of the Dantian. Once breaking through to Celestial Essence, everything becomes fixed, thereby setting the future achievement limit.

For his own women, Lin Miao certainly wouldn’t hesitate to provide guidance, but for Helian Wanwan, merely being his woman’s teacher, he didn’t have such an obligation.
