Chapter 11 Meridian Cleansing!

Lin Xing saw their resolute expressions and nodded to himself. Although Meridian Cleansing carried certain risks, given his current cultivation level—though not exceptionally powerful—his Zhen Qi was abundant. Moreover, as he understood it, helping others undergo Meridian Cleansing was about as simple as it gets. For adults, this procedure would pose significant danger because their meridians were already fixed and hardened.

Even with his formidable power, forcibly reopening and expanding their rigid, hardened meridians with Zhen Qi would likely deplete nearly all of his Zhen Qi. Moreover, it would be extremely perilous. The recipient would suffer even greater pain, and the slightest misstep could lead to fatal consequences.

He himself risked exhausting his Zhen Qi, putting not only his own life at risk but also that of the person undergoing the cleansing. At best, their meridians could rupture, leaving them permanently disabled; at worst, they could die instantly!

Furthermore, such an effort would be pointless. Even if the meridians of someone with hardened pathways were forcibly widened by external force, they wouldn't achieve much in the future. Their meridians would remain limited, having reached their maximum capacity. No matter how hard they tried, further progress would be virtually impossible.

Lin Xing had no intention of engaging in such thankless labor.

However, the Four Lin Brothers, being children, possessed highly malleable bodies and meridians. If he could widen their meridians to a certain extent, not only would their cultivation achieve twice the results with half the effort, but with a solid foundation, their Zhen Qi would continuously expand their meridians during future cultivation. This would allow for boundless progress and limitless potential.

Seeing their excitement and anticipation, Lin Xing instructed them to compose themselves. Emotional turmoil could affect the upcoming Meridian Cleansing process.

Meridian Cleansing required a quiet environment and a state of calm detachment, free from desire. This would yield the best results and minimize risks.

The Four Lin Brothers worked to calm their excited and agitated hearts.

Meanwhile, Lin Xing sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating to regulate his breathing. Only by adjusting his condition to the peak of his cultivation could he ensure the lowest possible risk!

After a while, Lin Xing opened his tightly shut eyes, a flash of sharp light gleamed in them before returning to an ordinary, unremarkable look—no one could tell their owner was a powerhouse.

Lin Xing was satisfied with his current state; he had reached the optimal condition for this stage! He believed nothing could go wrong this time.

Ending his meditation, he rose and addressed the Four Lin Brothers: "Let's begin. However, only one person at a time. I can only perform Meridian Cleansing for one of you each session. Who will go first? Remember, Meridian Cleansing carries certain risks. You can still back out now. Otherwise, I can only do my best to ensure your safety, but I cannot rule out the possibility of danger—even life-threatening risks!"

It would be foolish for Lin Xing to arrogantly attempt Meridian Cleansing for all four at once. He knew his limits. If he broke through two more layers in his cultivation, he could easily perform the cleansing for several more people simultaneously.

This was the characteristic of the Nine Yang Divine Art. With each breakthrough, one's power would advance by leaps and bounds. After a breakthrough, the power would be at least ten times greater than the previous layer. The disparity would grow even larger in later stages. Once the Nine Yang Divine Art reached perfection, its power would far exceed that of the ninth layer at its peak—by how much was unknown.

Even Lin Xing couldn't be sure, as there was no historical record of anyone mastering the Nine Yang Divine Art.

The four Lin brothers exchanged glances, their faces showing not a hint of hesitation—only excitement and... determination.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Xing nearly laughed out loud. It wasn't as if he was sending them to the execution ground; why did they look so resolute?

The quick-tempered Lin Yun opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Lin Feng: "Second Brother, say no more. I'll go first." Lin Feng stated firmly.

Lin Yun and the other two said nothing more. They understood their eldest brother—once he made a decision, it was unchangeable.

"Eldest Brother, take care. Hold on and succeed. We four brothers still have to roam the world together." Lin Yun and the other two spoke with solemn expressions.

Lin Feng said nothing, merely nodding with an equally grave expression.

Seeing their childish faces wearing expressions of solemnity that didn't match their age, Lin Xing found it amusing. It seemed they truly believed this process was extremely dangerous.

Yet, witnessing the deep bond among the four brothers despite their young age, Lin Xing couldn't help but feel moved. He resolved inwardly not only to absolutely ensure their safety but also to guarantee absolute success!

Lin Xing waved his hand, instructing Lin Yun and the others to leave. He then ordered Lin Da and the others: "Guard the door. Do not allow anyone to disturb us. No one is to enter without my command. Understood?"

"Yes, Young Master." Lin Da and the others understood the gravity of the situation. They acknowledged and exited, dutifully carrying out his orders outside the door.

Only Lin Xing and Lin Feng remained in the room.

"Lin Feng, relax a bit. Don't be so tense."

"Yes, Young Master." Lin Feng let out a sigh and replied.

At this moment, Lin Feng actually grew more nervous.

After a while, seeing that Lin Feng had relaxed and was no longer as tense, Lin Xing smiled and said, "Let's begin. You don't need to be so nervous."

Lin Feng nodded, his tension easing slightly.

Lin Xing instructed Lin Feng to sit cross-legged on the bed, mimicking his posture—five points facing upward—and to concentrate his spirit and gather his Qi.

"Lin Feng, no matter what happens later, do not resist. Understand?" Lin Xing reminded him in advance, fearing that Lin Feng might instinctively resist when Zhen Qi was infused.

"Yes, Young Master."

"Also, during the Meridian Cleansing, you will experience some pain. You must endure it and not faint. The longer you hold on, the greater the benefits you'll gain. If you can last until the end, your rewards will be immense."

"Young Master, I will persist until the end." Lin Feng's face filled with determination as he spoke firmly.

"Good, let's begin."

Lin Xing also sat cross-legged behind Lin Feng, placing his palms against Lin Feng's back. He slowly channeled his internal Zhen Qi into Lin Feng's body.

Initially, Lin Xing tentatively infused a trace of Nine Yang Zhen Qi into Lin Feng, concerned that the meridians of people in this world might differ from those on Earth. Fortunately, while Lin Feng's meridians were slightly different from Earthlings', the disparity was minimal and had no significant impact. He also feared that infusing too much Zhen Qi at once might cause Lin Feng's body to explode from the overwhelming energy—an outcome Lin Xing wished to avoid.

At first, when Lin Xing's Zhen Qi entered Lin Feng's body, Lin Feng trembled slightly. Lin Xing then sensed a slight resistance, realizing it was Lin Feng's instinctive reaction against the foreign Zhen Qi.

He spoke up: "Lin Feng, relax. Do not resist."

Lin Feng complied, relaxing his body and allowing Lin Xing's Zhen Qi to enter his meridians.

"Lin Feng, remember the pathway my Zhen Qi takes within your body. In the future, your Zhen Qi should follow the same route."

Lin Feng did not reply at that moment—nor did he have the time to—as he needed to focus on sensing the movement of Lin Xing's Zhen Qi within his body. He could only commit Lin Xing's words firmly to memory.
