C844 36 Meridians
In the past ninety days, all the spirit energy in this Spirit Stone Tree had been absorbed into Lin Miaoran's body, becoming the cornerstone of her advancement.
As for Chu Yan, he was even more straightforward.
The tree branches and leaves were all minced and swallowed into his stomach.
There was not even a speck of residue on the ground.
The advantage he brought was that he was only a hair's breadth away from advancing to the next level.
Currently, inside the time and space cage, Chu Yan and Lin Miaoran were breathing regularly.
Oscillations and rhythms resounded in the surrounding space.
When the day came a little later, and Lin Miaoran's bodies started to exude a brilliant light.
If any other cultivator were here and saw this, they would definitely recognize it as a sign that they were about to be promoted.
To cultivators, reaching the Third level of the Pulse Condensation Stage was a very important barrier on the immortal path.
In front of Third level of the Pulse Condensation Stage, although they were cultivators, they had many shortcomings, just like a person who had not fully developed his Third level of the Pulse Condensation Stage yet.
The reason was simple.
The reason Pulse Condensation Stage was called the Pulse Condensation Stage was because at this stage, every time a realm was raised, twelve meridians would be condensed for circulating and storing spirit energy.
1st level of Pulse Condensation Stage had condensed twelve meridians.
Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage had condensed 24 meridians.
Cultivators, on the other hand, have a total of 36 meridians.
Only by reaching Third level of the Pulse Condensation Stage would one be able to condense all thirty-six meridians.
In other words, only by reaching Third level of the Pulse Condensation Stage could a cultivator be regarded as a "complete" cultivator.
Moreover, many techniques and techniques could only be learned or used with full force when one reached the Third level of the Pulse Condensation Stage and had all thirty-six meridians.
Currently, Chu Yan and Lin Miaoran were standing right in front of this threshold.
Or, to be more precise, one of their legs had now crossed the threshold, leaving the other one to be crossed.
As time passed, the light on Chu Yan's and Lin Miaoran's bodies became brighter and brighter.
Four hours later, the two of them seemed to have turned into two people covered in light.
If one were to pay close attention to them at this moment, one would be able to see that among the rays of light emanating from their bodies, there were 24 thin lines that were exceptionally eye-catching.
The specks of light were quickly condensing next to the twenty-four lines and were about to form another twelve threads of light.
From the starting points of light, to the broken lines, and then to the lines that were almost connected, another six hours had passed.
Chu Yan and Lin Miaoran almost simultaneously finished the last light dot.
When the last light fell into its proper place, the last twelve meridians on Chu Yan and Lin Miaoran's body were completely condensed.
At this moment, the 36 meridians all released a dazzling brilliance.
Spiritual energy billowed. At this moment, one could even hear the sound of the flowing river through the meridian channels.
At this time, Chu Yan and Lin Miaoran's bodies could finally store the true Spirit Qi.
Although the spirit energy could only be stored in the meridians for the time being and could not be absorbed into the dantian, there was a clear improvement compared to when he was using the Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage.
When cultivators were in the Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage, they could draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies and use it to cut off their hair and cleanse their marrows.
However, at this moment, the cultivator's body was like a bamboo that was connected on both sides.
The spiritual energy entered from one end, flowed through the bamboo, and flowed out from the other.
If he were to intercept one end of the bamboo at this moment, then there would be no more spiritual energy within the bamboo.
Once a cultivator lost his spiritual energy, he wouldn't be able to use any spells or activate any formations. Even if he used a martial skill, its power would be greatly reduced.
Furthermore, after reaching the Third level of the Pulse Condensation Stage, this piece of bamboo had transformed from a straight branch into a ring.
Every time there was spiritual energy flowing through the ring, a portion of it would be left inside, forming a cycle that would continue on its own without end.
As a result, although this small amount of spiritual energy wouldn't be much, it would stay in a cultivator's body at all times to nourish his body and organs.
Even if a cultivator was trapped in an environment without spiritual energy or was unable to absorb it, the amount of spiritual energy in their body would be enough to sustain them for a while.
The spiritualization of the body and the endless growth of the body; this was the biggest difference between the Third level of the Pulse Condensation Stage and the previous stages.
Chu Yan and Lin Miaoran's previous foundations were both very solid.
The Spirit Stone Tree they had obtained this time was also a precious treasure, so their growth had been very smooth.
After they had been promoted to Third level of the Pulse Condensation Stage, Chu Yan and Lin Miaoran did not rashly get up. Instead, they spent another two days to stabilize their realm.
However, because of Lin Miaoran's innate constitution, her cultivation speed was still faster than Chu Yan's.
So when Chu Yan opened his eyes, he saw that the other party was kneeling in front of him, leaning very close. The bright eyes were staring at him without blinking.
Lin Miaoran had been carefully sizing up Chu Yan, but she did not expect Chu Yan to suddenly open his eyes.
Their four eyes met, and Lin Miaoran's face immediately flushed red. She anxiously went back to her seat, and stuttered: "I-I saw that you were not doing well at all, I-I-I-I-I-I-I …"
After saying a few words, Lin Miaoran decided to shut her mouth.
It would be better not to say anything more.
Chu Yan laughed, and did not mind.
"Come, let me show you something good." Chu Yan pulled Lin Miaoran up.
Being pulled obediently off the ground by Chu Yan, Lin Miaoran asked curiously, "What good thing?"
She was very curious about this Return to the Ruins Tower.
"I don't know yet." Chu Yan shook his head.
"Hmm?" Lin Miaoran was puzzled: "Didn't your mother leave this Return to the Ruins Tower to you? Have you never seen it before?"
"My cultivation base isn't high enough, so I don't know." Chu Yan explained.
Lin Miaoran was still confused.
Didn't your mother tell you what she left you?
But very quickly, when he arrived at the ninth floor of the Return to the Ruins Tower, Lin Miaoran finally understood what Chu Yan meant by that.
On the stone door leading to the ninth floor, there were two large words written: Third level of the Pulse Condensation Stage can be opened.
"So this isn't enough." Lin Miaoran nodded.
Standing in front of the stone door, Chu Yan was feeling excited and nervous.
It had been a long time since he had opened the new stone door.
According to the design of the Return to the Ruins Tower, only after each increase in realm would one be able to enter a higher level.
After opening the ninth floor this time, if he wanted to open the tenth floor again, he would have to wait until his Earth Origin Stage advanced.
Seeing Chu Yan's hesitant look, Lin Miaoran hesitated and said: "Do you want me to leave?"
She was worried that the things that Chu Yan's mother had left for him was not something that could be seen by outsiders.
"No need." Chu Yan shook his head.
If he could tell Lin Miaoran the secrets of the Return to the Ruins Tower, then he wouldn't need to worry about the other party seeing the secrets of every floor of the Return to the Ruins Tower.
Furthermore, Chu Yan had already discovered that he was the only one who could use all the things in the Return to the Ruins Tower, regardless of whether it was cultivation technique, martial skills, equipment forging, or even array patterns.
After taking a deep breath, Chu Yan pushed it hard.
A muffled sound rang out.
The stone door to the ninth floor instantly swung open.
