Shocking Secrets of the Celestial Realm

Chapter 232 Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian

The sky above the Starry Realm was shrouded in a strange vortex of dark clouds, a suffocating atmosphere permeating the surroundings. The disciples stood ready, but after churning for a while, the vortex slowly dissipated, leaving everyone filled with doubt. Seeing this, Jasmine frowned slightly, a vague unease creeping into her heart. Behind this seemingly calm surface, a greater crisis seemed to lurk. However, she didn't reveal her worry. Instead, she looked at the disciples and said softly, "The crisis is temporarily averted. Let's continue our cultivation. Next, we will explore the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian."

Jasmine cleared her throat and explained with focused attention: "The Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian and the Lung Meridian are internally and externally related. It starts at the tip of the index finger, runs along the outside of the arm, and finally reaches the head and face. In the human body, the large intestine is responsible for excretion. This meridian is like the purifying force in the universe, which can expel waste from the body and maintain the body's cleanliness and balance. It is very important for our cultivation and life."

The disciples sat around Jasmine, listening attentively and nodding occasionally to show their understanding. Yichen took out paper and pen and quickly jotted down the key points Jasmine made. He knew the value of this knowledge; every word could become a crucial guide on his path of cultivation. Mengli closed her eyes, trying to construct the pathway of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian in her mind and to feel its relationship with the Lung Meridian.

However, Zi Ling wouldn't easily let go of any opportunity to disrupt Jasmine's teaching. Hiding in the shadows, a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips, and another plan formed in her mind. She quietly found a few disciples who were close to her and began to spread rumors in their ears.

"Did you know? Elder Jasmine's explanation of the Yangming Large Intestine Meridian is wrong. She has made similar mistakes before, and this time will definitely be no exception." Zi Ling deliberately lowered her voice, pretending to be mysterious.

The disciples looked surprised and puzzled upon hearing this. "Really? Elder Jasmine seems very knowledgeable," one of the disciples asked in a low voice.

"Hmph, that's just a facade," Zi Ling said disdainfully. "She's all talk and no action. This time, when she was explaining the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yangming, she got the function and pathways of the meridians wrong. If she continues teaching like this, everyone's cultivation will be ruined."

These words spread rapidly among the disciples like a virus, shattering the previously quiet and focused atmosphere of cultivation. Some disciples began to whisper among themselves, occasionally glancing at Jasmine with suspicion.

"I heard that Elder Jasmine misrepresented the knowledge of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. Is that true?" Xiaofeng asked his companion beside him, frowning.

"I'm not entirely sure either, but everyone's saying it, so maybe it's true," his companion replied with a worried look.

Jasmine keenly sensed the unusual behavior of her disciples. She calmly observed her surroundings and quickly discovered the source of the rumor. She sighed inwardly, never expecting Zi Ling to be so ruthless in achieving her goals. However, she remained calm; years of cultivation had given her a composed mind and the ability to handle crises.

"Students, I know you all have doubts in your hearts." Jasmine stepped forward and looked at her disciples with a firm gaze. "Recently, some rumors have been circulating that my explanation of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian is wrong. Today, we will thoroughly clarify this issue."

As she spoke, Jasmine stretched out her arm and circulated her spiritual energy. Gradually, a meridian diagram of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian appeared on her arm, the meridian shimmering with a faint golden light and clearly visible.

"Look, everyone, this is the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian." Jasmine pointed to the meridian chart and explained in detail, "It starts from the Shangyang acupoint on the index finger, goes up along the Yangxi, Pianli, and Wenliu acupoints on the outside of the arm, passes through the Jianyu and Jugu acupoints, and finally reaches the Yingxiang acupoint on the head and face."

To help her disciples understand more intuitively, Jasmine had one of them demonstrate how to stimulate the flow of Qi and blood in the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yangming through acupressure. As she demonstrated, she explained the underlying principles: "Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the meridians in the human body are like rivers, and acupoints are key points on these rivers. By stimulating acupoints, we can regulate the flow of Qi and blood in the meridians, thereby achieving the purpose of treating diseases and enhancing spiritual practice. For example, massaging the Hegu acupoint can dispel wind and release the exterior, promote Qi and blood circulation, and has an important regulatory effect on the flow of Qi and blood in the Large Intestine Meridian."

With Jasmine's demonstration and explanation, the disciples' doubts gradually dissipated. Watching Jasmine's skillful operation and confident explanation, they couldn't help but admire her knowledge and ability.

“Elder Jasmine, we misunderstood you.” One of the disciples who had previously doubted Jasmine said with shame, “We believed the rumors and did not trust you.”

“Yes, Elder Jasmine’s explanation is so clear, how could she possibly make a mistake?” the other disciples chimed in.

Jasmine smiled at everyone: "It's alright. Having questions is a good thing; it means you're thinking. The path of cultivation is inherently full of twists and turns and challenges. We must learn to distinguish right from wrong and not be swayed by external interference. Zi Ling is spreading these rumors simply to disrupt our cultivation order, but as long as we remain steadfast in our beliefs and focus on exploring knowledge and improving ourselves, we will not be fooled by her schemes."

The disciples nodded in agreement, their eyes rekindling their passion for cultivation and their trust in Jasmine. They sat around Jasmine again, listening attentively to her in-depth explanation of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, immersing themselves wholeheartedly in their practice.

As their practice deepened, the disciples gradually felt the miraculous power of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. They discovered that when they focused on the flow of Qi and blood through the meridians, the turbid Qi in their bodies seemed to be expelled by a powerful force, making them feel refreshed and light, and their state of practice improved.

However, just as the disciples were immersed in the joy of their cultivation, an anomaly appeared in the distant sky once more. A black lightning bolt streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening roar, as if some powerful force was awakening. Jasmine's expression changed; she knew that the real crisis might have only just begun.

"Everyone, stop your cultivation and get ready." Jasmine quickly stood up, looking warily at the sky. "It seems that an unknown force is approaching, and we must be careful."

The disciples stood up, gripping their weapons tightly, their spiritual energy surging around them. Their eyes held a hint of tension, but even more so, determination and courage. Under Jasmine's guidance, they had already faced many challenges, each making them stronger. This time, they would not back down either.

What dangers lurk behind that mysterious black lightning? Can they continue to explore the mysteries of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian amidst this crisis? Everything remains unknown, and they can only muster their courage once again to face the challenges to come, amidst this unknown fear.
