CHAPTER 9: The True General Outline of Nine Calamity
Golden Blood Ginseng contains ginseng liquid; the older it is, the more liquid it has, and the better its effects. Only this liquid is truly effective. If one does not know how to excavate it, a single scratch could cause all the liquid to flow out instantly. At that point, even swallowing the entire Golden Blood Ginseng would only be like eating a piece of tree root.
Standing against the stone wall, after his breathing calmed down completely, he placed the Golden Blood Ginseng into his mouth and gently bit through the skin. Instantly, a cool yet spicy liquid surged down his throat. This juice was actually golden in color, shining brightly.
The name Golden Blood Ginseng comes from this. This is golden blood!
Once the ginseng liquid entered his body, it automatically flowed soothingly through his meridians. At that moment, the sword soul of the Nine Calamity Sword in his dantian suddenly emitted a wave of excitement, stirring vigorously, and then transformed into a flash of lightning, rushing out of the dantian and quickly approaching him with joy...
Before it could be absorbed by the meridians, the ginseng liquid transformed into a stream of light, all being absorbed by the Nine Calamity Sword!
Chu Yang surprisingly felt that the Nine Calamity Sword seemed to let out a satisfied burp, leisurely returning to the dantian, as if it had just enjoyed a feast and was taking a walk, swaying with an air of grandeur...
Although he was on a cliff, Chu Yang couldn't help but laugh. This guy is too human-like, isn't it?
Soon, the dim golden light on the sword body flickered, and this time, it was obviously much brighter than before. Then, the light disappeared, and a stream of cool dark golden air flowed out from the illusory sword handle of the Nine Calamity Sword, instantly merging into Chu Yang's entire meridians. Chu Yang watched as a golden light flickered on his exposed skin, then disappeared. His meridians swelled like a toad and then contracted, followed by another swell...
It was like a balloon being blown up, then releasing air; then blown up again...
This continued for nine times, and finally, that feeling disappeared.
The medicinal power of the ginseng liquid, transformed by the Nine Calamity Sword, had finally completely fused into Chu Yang's meridians...
Chu Yang clearly felt that although his power did not increase, the speed at which it operated had increased significantly, and within his meridians, a layer of golden flexible light was slowly fading and merging into the inner walls of his meridians...
He attempted to stimulate his meridians and felt an extreme elasticity and flexibility, like an unbreakable balloon, making Chu Yang extremely delighted!
This harvest would lay the foundation for his entire life! The gains were enormous... Although his power could not increase, it had opened up a straight path for his meridians to flow upwards!
If others' meridians were merely a small pond, his had undoubtedly become a deep well. This is a qualitative difference!
This foundation was enough for him to advance to the martial sect without worrying about the capacity and endurance of his meridians.
Before he could bask in his excitement, he felt the Nine Calamity Sword in his dantian suddenly glow brilliantly, making Chu Yang feel as if his whole body was being illuminated. Then, a sharp pain shot through his dantian, and the light vanished in an instant, but Chu Yang knew something mysterious was happening...
Suddenly, several phrases emerged in his mind:
"Heaven's way is cold-hearted, all things are destroyed; Heaven's way is emotional, all things are born. The sword path is cold-hearted, slaughtering the world; the sword path is emotional, caring for all lives. Whether emotional or not, it depends on the heart. Nine calamities, nine heavens, there is cold-heartedness, there is emotion. Is there emotion, or is there cold-heartedness?
Having experienced the vast oceans, seeing through worldly emotions, emotion is cold-heartedness, cold-heartedness is emotion; emotional and cold-hearted, at the core lies heaven's way. Where there is humanity, there is the way of martial arts; where there is martial arts, one advances to heaven's way, and in the end, it is transcendence.
