There is no need to say much about the function of Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone.
At this moment, Dugu Yan immersed herself in her own improvement, feeling her own state.
"My Soul Power breakthrough is only secondary. I feel that the meridians in my body are now wider, especially some of the original tiny meridians, which have been expanded significantly."
Dugu Yan tried to operate her Soul Power and found that her eight expanded tiny meridians, although quite chaotic and not connected to many meridians, still played a very good auxiliary role in any operation of Soul Power.
Dugu Yan knew that this should be what her grandfather called hidden meridians.
Even if it's just simple meditation cultivation, without actively running Soul Power along fixed routes, Soul Power will still spread throughout the body. In this process, these hidden meridians will also come into play, making the operation of Soul Power easier and more convenient, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of cultivation!
"Yan'er, how many hidden meridians have you opened up in total?" Dugu Bo asked.
"Eight."
"How many?" Dugu Bo was shocked, looking at his granddaughter, "How many hidden meridians did you say you opened?"
"Eight." Dugu Yan also knew this was quite shocking.
Following Dugu Bo, she had learned a lot about some attempts in Spirit Master cultivation and knew what opening the eight hidden meridians meant.
It meant having three times more hidden meridians than her grandfather.
Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, had only opened two hidden meridians in his body so far.
Amidst the shock, Dugu Bo also did not forget to inquire about the whereabouts of the remaining six hidden meridians with his granddaughter.
Although the opening of hidden meridians may not necessarily boost the Soul Power of a Titled Douluo, after reaching level ninety-five, there are indeed requirements for the opening of hidden meridians for a Titled Douluo.
Moreover, the benefits of opening hidden meridians ahead of time for cultivation need not be overstated.
Dugu Bo was initially unaware of the locations of all the hidden meridians. Now that his granddaughter had opened eight of them, he naturally inquired immediately.
However, after Dugu Yan described them for a while, Dugu Bo felt several hidden meridians within his body, feeling like a tangled mess.
There were too many meridians in the same area, intricate and complex. It was as difficult as reaching the heavens to find one specific hidden meridian among them.
Su Wen quietly released his Martial Spirit beside them, sketching out meridians on a blank sheet of paper.
This was a meridian diagram he had displayed publicly a long time ago.
Among them, eight meridians were spread throughout the body, marked by Su Wen in a special form.
However, perhaps these markings were not prominent enough before. At this moment, Su Wen emphasized the circulation of Soul Power within these eight meridians.
These eight meridians suddenly became very prominent.
Dugu Bo looked at the positions of the eight hidden meridians on Su Wen's Martial Spirit, compared them with his own opened meridians, and the locations Dugu Yan had just described to him, and fell silent.
"Xiaowen, when did you find the positions of these eight hidden meridians?" he asked kindly.
"Grandpa Dugu, I found them a long time ago. Every time I demonstrate the Soul Power Circulation Route to you, these eight meridians are always marked." Su Wen said speechlessly.
He had thought that a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo would understand the positions of these hidden meridians or would realize it after seeing the meridian diagram.
"Why didn't you say so?"
"You didn't ask!"
Su Wen was genuinely straightforward.
He had marked them himself, and Dugu Bo didn't even think about it. Who could he blame?
Dugu Bo's face showed a helpless expression.
Although he had opened two hidden meridians, he only knew their approximate locations. He was unaware of the distribution of other meridians around them, so it was impossible for him to identify those two meridians among Su Wen's extremely complex meridian diagram as hidden meridians just by chance.
"Give me a copy of this meridian diagram," Dugu Bo rubbed his brow.
"Grandpa Dugu, I'll just help you find the eight hidden meridians directly," Su Wen integrated that page into Dugu Bo's body.
Then, he got stuck.
Su Wen looked a bit embarrassed and reminded Dugu Bo, "Grandpa Dugu, please cooperate with me in running Soul Power."
Dugu Bo's Soul Power quality was too high and too dense, Su Wen couldn't guide it.
Dugu Bo also felt the pulling force inside his body and followed its guidance to operate.
Soon, Dugu Bo found the positions of the remaining six hidden meridians.
His expression was complex.
"Xiaowen, your ability is truly incredible."
Previously, Su Wen had actually mentioned this ability to him. The fact that Old Jerry could quickly master the Spirit Ascension Method was because of Su Wen's guidance in this form. However, at that time, Dugu Bo hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter.
Now, with the help of Su Wen's ability, he effortlessly found the positions of six hidden meridians.
Although finding the positions didn't necessarily mean they could be opened, the significance was still huge. Opening hidden meridians relied on stimulation and opportunity, but knowing their locations in advance was crucial.
If one could know the positions of hidden meridians beforehand, even if they couldn't open them independently, they could attempt to stimulate them during each Soul Power breakthrough.
Dugu Bo was already level ninety-two, perhaps opportunities seemed scarce.
However, what about Spirit Masters like Su Wen and Dugu Yan at their levels?
They knew that every breakthrough at smaller levels, every breakthrough after reaching multiples of ten, and every breakthrough after obtaining a Spirit Ring were major breakthroughs, leading to the simultaneous growth of their Martial Spirits.
From Spirit Ancestor to Titled Douluo, there are a total of five major breakthrough bottlenecks and five Martial Spirit growths. By consciously guiding Soul Power to impact these hidden meridians, one could definitely succeed two or three times. With good luck, it's possible to open four or even five hidden meridians. It's like being given chances out of nowhere.
Of course, Dugu Bo would also try using Immortal Grass next, which would inevitably help him open two or three hidden meridians in advance.
"However, there are still drawbacks. Your ability is akin to peering into the other person's body, revealing all their information," Dugu Bo could clearly feel Su Wen's intrusion at that time, and it was very intense, giving him a feeling of being completely exposed.
He was an old man, and his relationship with Su Wen was close, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to accept it.
For example, Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo never even thought of asking Su Wen for help with guidance.
"Oh right, Yan'er, how's your progress with the Spirit Ascension Method now?" Dugu Bo, reminded, thought of the Spirit Ascension Method.
Dugu Yan's face showed a bitter expression as she said, "It's too difficult. Even with Xiaowen's techniques, I've only managed to locate and memorize all the positions of the meridians. I'm still trying to form a complete circulation."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo didn't feel disappointed; instead, he was quite satisfied.
"It's okay. You've been training outside for the past four months, while also detoxifying your body and practicing simultaneously. Being able to accomplish all this so quickly is already commendable."
"In fact, the most difficult step is finding the corresponding positions of the meridians in the body. After that, circulating Soul Power through these meridians isn't difficult," Su Wen added.
Indeed, the subsequent steps were quite straightforward.
However, Dugu Yan's mouth twitched involuntarily.
Even straightforward operations depend on their complexity.
Look at your Spirit Ascension Method's Soul Power circulation! How can you call that easy?
