Chapter 184: 0182 Breakthrough Yongquan Point

There are 365 proper acupuncture points in a human body, coinciding with the days of a year, conforming to the cosmic cycle of Zhou Tian.

Ye Qiu had already penetrated half of these acupuncture points, but had been stuck on the Yongquan point.

The Yongquan point, as the source of Qi, is chiefly associated with the kidneys. The "living Qi" referred to in humans is essentially the Qi generated from the Yongquan point.

Qi is omnipresent, the source of all things.

Without Qi, there is no life.

What Ye Qiu needed to do was to open the Yongquan point to allow the Qi to flow throughout his body and nourish it entirely.

Moreover, once the Yongquan point was opened, he would be able to advance further in his practice.

The breakthrough of an acupuncture point is different from breaking through stages of True Qi.

Only when True Qi proceeds first can the stage be elevated.

Now, for Ye Qiu to take another step forward in his stage, he needed to open his acupuncture points using the Qi throughout his body to propel his progress.

With his intent, the Ruyi True Qi within his body continuously struck against the barriers of the Yongquan point. Each strike inflicted pain on Ye Qiu like the cutting of knives.

The continuous assault of True Qi made Ye Qiu clench his teeth firmly and maintain clarity, waiting for the breakthrough of the acupuncture point.

In Ye Qiu’s modest room, he sat cross-legged, beads of sweat forming on his brow; indeed, his back was already soaked as well.

Breaking through an acupuncture point is not something everyone can achieve; one first has to endure the pain it brings. If one cannot even withstand this pain, opening all the acupuncture points for life is hopeless.

Inside the Goddess Villa, Shangguan Hong and Yinyin had already gone to sleep, leaving only Ye Qiu to cultivate alone.

As time passed, Ye Qiu reached a critical moment in striking the Yongquan point.

At this moment, the Yongquan point had already shown signs of loosening, encouraging Ye Qiu to continue enduring the impact, constantly accelerating the striking speed of his True Qi.

At that moment, a shadow slowly appeared at the entrance of the Goddess Villa complex.

Dressed in black, resembling a nightwalker, he moved through the darkness, his sharp eyes visible, glinting like jewels in the night.

A samurai sword in his hand emitted a chilling glint; he glanced at the villa inside the complex, assuming that Ye Qiu should be residing inside this high-end complex.

The security guard at the complex gate, noticing this figure suddenly appear, immediately became alert and swung his electric baton toward him.

"Who’s there?" The security guard spotted the sudden figure dressed in black, moving back and forth at the gate and immediately identified him as a suspicious person.

Fujikawa Ueno concealed his face in a black cloth, revealing only his eyes, completely ignoring the security guard who dared to wave an electric baton at him.

"Hey, who are you? Acting all weird here, what are you up to!" The guard was annoyed to see the man in black ignoring him, and his temper flared.

"I’m talking to you. Dressed all in black, do you think it’s the old days, planning to burglarize the place?" The guard outside laughed. Being a security guard for so many years, it was his first encounter with such an eccentric person.

Fujikawa Ueno couldn’t be bothered with him. He was there to deal with Ye Qiu.

"Are you deaf or blind? I’m talking to you. Hurry up and go." The security guard commanded, not intimidated by this odd figure.

Fujikawa Ueno didn’t want to waste words, and the security guard, seeing that talking was ineffective, walked over towards him.

When he saw that Fujikawa Ueno not only dressed strangely but also held a sword, he was momentarily stunned. The security guard, feeling vaguely afraid, tried to say, "You..."

Just as the security guard began to speak, Fujikawa Ueno flashed a look at him, and instantly the guard felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He had never experienced it before, merely the look in someone’s eyes making him feel as if he moved from the hottest days of summer to the depths of winter.

After a moment, the security guard suddenly collapsed to the ground.

He trembled uncontrollably; he had no idea how he had survived those few brief seconds as he allowed the strange person in black to walk past him and into the courtyard.

Immediately afterward, the security guard, still trembling, returned to the guardhouse and called for help.

Fujikawa Ueno’s gaze fell on one of the many villas; Ye Qiu was right there in the villa before him.

At this moment, Ye Qiu was at a critical juncture in his breakthrough. His mind was highly tensed, not aware that a figure had already climbed onto the roof of the villa, seeking a silent method of entry.

"Just a little bit more."

Ye Qiu could feel the barrier at his Spring well acupoint loosening. Perhaps one more harsh strike would shatter it.

Sweat continued to pour from him, and his True Qi was rapidly depleting as well. This impact on his Spring well acupoint was no less challenging than battling a top adversary of the same realm.

The sweat flowing over his body had inevitably soaked his clothes, and even the seat below him was now smeared with a pool of sweat.

Suddenly.

Ye Qiu’s body abruptly straightened up; he had little True Qi left, and his mental strength was nearly drained by this prolonged assault on the acupuncture point. Success or failure hinged on this very moment.

Ye Qiu gathered all his strength, transforming his True Qi into a thin needle, fiercely aiming to pierce through all obstacles ahead.

Just then, a ’ting’ sound was heard.

It was as if glass shattered. In Ye Qiu’s mind, a wall, punctured fiercely by a long nail, presented countless fine lines that resembled fissures. Soon a small hole appeared, from which the crack swiftly expanded until, with a final loud crash, the wall collapsed.

The Spring well acupoint had been breached!

In an instant, Ye Qiu felt as if his mentality was freed, his body suddenly relaxed, creating an illusion of complete connectivity.

Following the breakthrough of his Spring well acupoint, Ye Qiu faintly felt the speed at which his body recovered True Qi was increasing.

His blood flow slowed, and his breathing became much longer.

"Is this how it feels after breaking through the Spring well acupoint?" Though it was not a breakthrough in martial realm, opening an acupoint was a significant event for Ye Qiu.

As Ye Qiu was experiencing the changes post the breakthrough of the Spring well acupoint, his ears moved and his eyebrows furrowed at the same time.

Someone was attempting to enter the villa.

In Ye Qiu’s perception, someone was trying to enter inside the villa.

Who could it be?

Ye Qiu did not believe that the person on the villa roof at this hour was well-intentioned, although he was uncertain of the person’s motive.

Ye Qiu moved his body; he locked on to the aura of the figure above, left the villa silently, and also arrived on the villa’s rooftop.

"Who are you?" Ye Qiu looked at the man in black, his gaze fixating on the sword in his hands, and he couldn’t help but think of the murderer who had killed dozens of martial arts experts.

Could it be him?

Ye Qiu’s gaze stalled as he probably guessed the visitor’s intention—it was indeed targeted at him.

Seeing Ye Qiu appearing, the man in black was slightly startled, not expecting Ye Qiu to move behind him so silently. With no time for surprise, he instantly charged forward.

Szzz...

The tip grazed past the villa’s façade, emitting an unpleasant sound, while the man in black, blending into the night, fiercely slashed his sword toward Ye Qiu.

This sword, light and flowing, directly aimed at Ye Qiu’s heart.
