Chapter 12 Metamorphosis! (1)

As the true qi flowed, Lin Xing also began to remodel and expand Lin Feng's meridians.

Slender threads of intensely Yang true qi continuously surged into Lin Feng's meridians through his palms.

Lin Xing carefully controlled his true qi, allowing it to flow slowly through Lin Feng's meridians. He was terrified that if he accidentally increased the amount, Lin Feng would be done for.

The Nine Yang true qi, being supremely Yang and unyieldingly rigid, was not only astonishingly destructive and lethal but also incredibly restorative. Legend had it that a certain predecessor who cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Art, while severely injured all over his body, relied on the miraculous recovery power of the art. In no time, his heavily wounded body was eighty to ninety percent healed!

At this moment, Lin Feng was enduring the astonishing—and agonizing—restorative process of the Nine Yang true qi. Yes, enduring. Because, simultaneously, the incredible destructive power of the Nine Yang Divine Art was constantly damaging his meridians!

The supremely Yang and unyieldingly rigid Nine Yang true qi flowed through the tiny meridians. Wherever the true qi passed, meridians were scorched and torn asunder!

However, the miraculous restorative power of the Nine Yang true qi was constantly repairing the damaged meridians! Instantly, the injured meridians, down to the cellular level, were completely restored! One could imagine just how astonishing the restorative power was.

Scorched! Shattered! Restored! Then scorched again, shattered again, and restored again!

This process repeated itself within Lin Feng's body!

Enduring this inhuman torment, Lin Feng did not utter a sound, only insisting in his heart: "Hold on, I must hold on."

The heart-wrenching pain of his meridians being scorched and torn apart, coupled with an itch that burrowed into his very soul during the repair process, made Lin Feng feel as if he were experiencing the agony of ice and fire. The description was uncannily accurate! But in reality, Lin Feng's experience was far more complex than just two extremes!

Because wherever the true qi passed, everything would be destroyed! Then repaired again. And the true qi was continuously circulating within Lin Feng's meridians! The moment something was just repaired, it would be destroyed again in the next instant.

Lin Feng was in such agony that he ached to faint immediately. But he couldn't. If he fainted, all the suffering he had endured up to that point would have been in vain!

Acutely aware of the heart-wrenching pain of his meridians tearing apart, Lin Feng desperately wanted to scream and shout to vent, but that was impossible. Lin Xing had already immobilized him. Not only could he not scream or shout, he couldn't even move a finger now.

At this moment, Lin Feng's face was a ferocious mask of agony. His features were twisted, sweat poured down incessantly, and his clothes were almost completely soaked. If not for the support of the miraculously restorative Nine Yang true qi, he would have long since collapsed from exhaustion and lost consciousness.

But this process was only just beginning.

With each circulation of the Nine Yang true qi, the meridians expanded a little. As time passed bit by bit, the meridians also grew stronger, broader, and increasingly resilient. Simultaneously, Lin Xing's Nine Yang true qi circulated through every cell in Lin Feng's body. While transforming the meridians, it was also transforming the body. This plunged Lin Feng into even greater agony. At first, only the meridians were in pain, not affecting the whole body, but now his entire body was wracked with heart-wrenching pain.

The pain was so relentless Lin Feng was growing numb to it. The clear sensation of suffering throughout his body made him wish he were dead.

Lin Xing slowly increased the infusion of true qi. Because as the meridians continuously widened and gradually became more resilient, their tolerance also continuously increased.

As the true qi increased, its flow within the body also became faster and faster. Simultaneously, the destruction and repair of cells accelerated as well. This intensified Lin Feng's agony.

At this point, Lin Xing was also under great strain, sweating profusely. Although after cultivating the divine art, he could control everything in his body very well, he was still drenched in sweat now.

Because he not only had to carefully control the output of his true qi but also pay close attention to every change in Lin Feng's body. The slightest misstep could prove fatal. That would be a waste of talent.

This task, both mentally and physically exhausting, took a tremendous toll on Lin Xing's spirit. Coupled with the fact that he had no practical experience in this area—only theoretical knowledge—it made Lin Xing, a novice with only theory and no practice, break out in a sweat as well.

Time passed bit by bit, and Lin Xing's true qi was continuously depleting. Due to the immense drain on his spirit, an imbalance had arisen between his absorption and output of true qi. The output had far exceeded the absorption.

However, the transformation of the meridians within Lin Feng's body was continuously progressing, gradually reaching the limit of what he could endure at this stage. In other words, this meridian cleansing was nearly complete.

After a long while, Lin Xing looked at Lin Feng, whose spirit was nearing its limit but who still stubbornly maintained a sliver of consciousness through sheer willpower. A thought flashed through Lin Xing's mind—and then blossomed with wild intensity!

"Yes, now is the moment." Seizing the fleeting opportunity, Lin Xing abruptly increased the amount of true qi to three times what it had been just moments before! The suddenly surging true qi swept through Lin Feng's meridians, rushing straight toward his *Ren* and *Du* meridians! He intended to take this chance to open Lin Feng's Ren and Du meridians!

Feeling the sudden surge of true qi, many of Lin Feng's meridians were instantly damaged. But before he could even cry out in pain, he felt the surging true qi within his body suddenly encounter a slight obstruction somewhere.

However, an instant later, he felt the true qi break through that small barrier. At the same time, an agony ten thousand times worse than before rapidly shot into his brain. Before he could even process what was happening, everything went black before his eyes, and he fainted.

Seeing Lin Feng faint, Lin Xing wasn't particularly surprised. He continued using his true qi to repair the injuries within Lin Feng's body.

When Lin Feng's injuries were mostly healed, Lin Xing left a small portion of his own true qi within Lin Feng's body to continue repairing the remaining wounds. Then he withdrew his power and began meditating, striving to restore his own energy as much as possible.

When he had recovered sufficiently, Lin Xing called Lin Da and the others inside.

Pushing the door open, Lin Da and the others were immediately hit by a nauseating stench! They quickly held their breath.

They saw Lin Feng unconscious on the bed, covered in a black, viscous fluid. The foul odor was emanating precisely from Lin Feng's body.

Lin Da and the others looked at Lin Xing with confusion. Understanding their questions, Lin Xing explained, "This is a normal phenomenon. After the meridian cleansing I performed, the impurities and toxins within his body have been expelled. That black substance is the impurity from his body!"

Although they didn't understand what meridian cleansing was, Lin Da and the others roughly grasped that the foul-smelling substance came from the black stuff on Lin Feng's body, and that black stuff had come from within Lin Feng's body. According to the young master, this was normal. After all, their young master was always so miraculous; it was normal for them not to understand.

Lin Xing instructed them to carry Lin Feng away, ordered them to clean his body, and then let Lin Feng rest properly. After all, Lin Feng wouldn't wake up for a while.

Then, without even bothering to change locations, he replaced him with Lin Yun and continued the meridian cleansing for him!
