Shocking Secrets of the Celestial Realm

Chapter 236 Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian

Inside the cultivation hall, strange light flashed and a deep rumble resounded. Everyone stood ready, but the mysterious power, after surging for a while, quietly receded, leaving only an inexplicable silence. Jasmine frowned slightly, a vague unease creeping into her heart. Behind this seemingly calm surface, a greater crisis likely lurked. However, she quickly composed herself and looked at her disciples, saying, "The crisis is temporarily averted. Let's continue our cultivation. Next, we will explore the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian."

Jasmine's voice echoed in the hall, steady and powerful: "The Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian and the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian are internally and externally related. It starts at the Shaoze acupoint on the outer side of the little finger, ascends along the posterior edge of the outer side of the arm, passes through acupoints such as Jianzhen and Naoshu, and finally reaches the Tinggong acupoint on the head. The small intestine is responsible for separating the clear from the turbid in the human body. This meridian is like a filtering force in the universe, which can separate the essence from the dregs in our body, purify our energy, and play an indispensable role in our cultivation."

The disciples sat around Jasmine, listening intently, their eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge. As Yichen listened, he used a twig to trace the pathways of the meridians on the ground, muttering incantations to try and deepen his memory; Mengli gently closed her eyes, placed her hands on her abdomen, and tried to feel the energy fluctuations of the small intestine meridian within her body, her expression focused and devout.

Zi Ling watched all this from the corner, her heart burning with jealousy. Unwilling to accept defeat after defeat, she began plotting a new scheme. "Hmph, Jasmine, I won't let you succeed so easily," Zi Ling muttered through gritted teeth.

After some planning, Zi Ling found Elder Zhao, who was in charge of managing cultivation resources. She took out a precious spirit crystal and handed it to Elder Zhao, a glint of malice flashing in her eyes: "Elder Zhao, as long as you do as I say, this spirit crystal is yours." Elder Zhao looked at the spirit crystal, his eyes revealing greed. After hesitating for a moment, he still accepted the spirit crystal: "What do you want me to do?" Zi Ling leaned closer to Elder Zhao and whispered her plan.

As the days passed, the disciples, under Jasmine's meticulous guidance, gradually deepened their cultivation of the Small Intestine Meridian of the Hand-Taiyang. However, just when they needed a large amount of precious medicinal herbs and spiritual items to aid their cultivation, they discovered that the supply of resources was in trouble.

"What's going on? Why are our cultivation resources so scarce?" Xiaofeng asked, frowning as he held the few medicinal herbs in his hand. The other disciples also complained, as their cultivation progress had been severely hampered.

Jasmine quickly discovered the resource shortage problem. Suspicious, she began to investigate secretly. With her years of accumulated connections and keen insight, she soon uncovered Zi Ling's conspiracy.

Jasmine found Elder Zhao, her expression serious: "Elder Zhao, why are the disciples lacking cultivation resources?" Elder Zhao's eyes darted around, and he stammered, unable to speak. Jasmine snorted coldly: "Stop pretending. I already know that Zi Ling is behind this. Why are you helping her?" Seeing that his secret had been exposed, Elder Zhao had no choice but to confess the truth.

Upon learning the truth, Jasmine did not immediately fly into a rage. Instead, she began to devise a solution. Leveraging her connections in the cultivation world, she contacted other sects and cultivators, requesting their support in terms of cultivation resources. Thanks to her efforts, a response quickly followed, with various parties extending a helping hand and allocating sufficient resources.

Having resolved the resource issue, Jasmine decided to expose Zi Ling's conspiracy. She summoned all the elders and disciples and, in front of everyone, revealed Zi Ling's actions one by one.

“Ziling, you have repeatedly disrupted the disciples’ cultivation, colluded with outsiders, and now you have bribed Elder Zhao to embezzle resources. Do you know your crimes?” Jasmine stared at Ziling with piercing eyes.

Zi Ling's face turned pale, and she still tried to argue, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't..."

Jasmine took out Elder Zhao's confession and related evidence, and threw them in front of Ziling: "The evidence is conclusive, do you still want to deny it?"

The other elders all criticized Zi Ling: "Zi Ling, you have disappointed us greatly. Doing such a thing is a disgrace to the sect!" Under the accusations of the crowd, Zi Ling lost face and collapsed to the ground.

Having resolved Zi Ling's issue, Jasmine refocused her attention on her disciples' cultivation. "Students, don't let these things distract you. Let's continue cultivating the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian."

Encouraged by Jasmine, the disciples rallied. After obtaining ample resources, Yi Chen, following Jasmine's instructions, infused his spiritual energy into the medicinal herbs and spiritual objects, then consumed them, sensing the changes in his body's energy. He discovered that when he focused on circulating his small intestine meridian, his body's absorption and transformation of these resources became more efficient, and impurities were continuously expelled.

Mengli combined natural elements with the cultivation of the Small Intestine Meridian. She guided the fluidity of the wind element and the heat of the fire element to help the Small Intestine Meridian better distinguish between clear and impurity. During the cultivation process, she felt her body become lighter and her spirit more abundant.

As their cultivation deepened, the disciples gradually felt the miraculous power of the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian. Their bodies became purer, and their cultivation speed significantly increased. However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of cultivation, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge black rift appeared in the sky, emanating a powerful and evil aura.

"What is this?" Mengli looked at the sky in horror, her voice trembling.

Jasmine's expression turned serious: "It seems the real crisis is here. Everyone, prepare yourselves for the challenges to come."

The disciples stood up, gripping their weapons tightly, their spiritual energy surging around them. Though a hint of fear lingered in their eyes, there was even greater determination and courage. Under Jasmine's guidance, they had already faced many challenges, each one making them stronger. This time, they would not back down either.
