Chapter 40's epiphany provides an extra bonus: double the experience gain!
In the end, it took Lu Ming a full two hours, including a short time after dinner, before he finally mastered the Eighteen Forms of Green Bamboo.
This is because he had a foundation in various finger techniques before; otherwise, learning from scratch would not have been so simple.
On the surface, the Eighteen Forms of Green Bamboo are staff techniques, but in fact, they were derived from the Dragon and Snake Staff Technique of the Green Bamboo Gang by Feng Qingzhu.
Through Feng Qingzhu's own creation, its essence has subtly become centered around acupoints.
However, Feng Qingzhu herself did not have a clear understanding of this.
[Evolving acupoint supernatural power (6648/10000)...]
Lu Ming returned to his courtyard and couldn't resist picking up a stick and starting to practice.
The result delighted him.
After practicing the Cloud Piercing Finger technique for the last time in the morning, his acupoint experience increased to 6642.
Now, practicing the Eighteen Forms of Green Bamboo once has increased my experience to 6648, a total of 6 experience points gained at once!
In the past, he would only practice the Cloud Piercing Finger technique once, and only get 4 points.
In other words, the Eighteen Forms of Green Bamboo gave him an extra 2 experience points.
"Feng Qingzhu's comprehension is indeed exceptionally high. His first attempt at creating a martial art resulted in a second-rate technique!"
Lu Ming was both surprised and delighted.
Only second-rate martial arts techniques can grant an additional 2 experience points.
Although this is because the Eighteen Forms of Green Bamboo were borrowed from the Dragon and Snake Staff Technique, which is a top-tier second-rate staff technique, it is enough to demonstrate Feng Qingzhu's prowess.
Lu Ming suppressed his distracting thoughts and excitedly continued his cultivation.
Each training session now grants 6 experience points, so a day's training yields 450 experience points.
In just eight days, he will be able to accumulate enough experience to evolve the third acupoint supernatural power.
In this way, there will still be more than half a month before the big exam. If I work hard, I might be able to develop a third leg technique and enhance my supernatural abilities.
All the hard work over the past few days has finally paid off, and the story wasn't told for nothing.
Lu Ming was secretly pleased with himself and was about to continue cultivating when he suddenly remembered, "I haven't taken the Enlightenment Pill yet!"
He immediately took out a Mind-Enlightenment Pill, which was dark in color and emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
He worried that if he took the Enlightenment Pill in the Grand Martial Arts Arena, his condition would be affected by others, causing him to waste the pill.
So I didn't eat anything during my morning practice. I plan to try it out first and see how it goes before deciding whether to eat something in the morning next time.
Now that he's in his own backyard, undisturbed, he naturally intends to consume today's Enlightenment Pill.
"Let's try the effect of enlightenment." With a thought, Lu Ming swallowed the Enlightenment Pill.
When the pills were swallowed, they didn't explode like the Qi-Nourishing Powder, nor did they have the gentle and lingering medicinal power like the Qi-Increasing Pill.
It's like eating a regular mint; aside from freshening your breath, you don't feel anything special.
"Hmm? Wait a minute." Lu Ming quickly felt that refreshing and clear sensation spreading from his mouth throughout his body.
His mind, in particular, was now clear and brimming with inspiration.
The surrounding world seemed different from usual, and the sensations were exceptionally clear.
It worked!
Lu Ming's spirits lifted. Not daring to waste the medicinal effects, he immediately began cultivating.
[Evolving acupoint supernatural power (6660/10000)...]
He continued practicing the Eighteen Forms of Green Bamboo, and when he saw the information from the supernatural power panel, he was suddenly stunned and could not believe it.
6660?
Wasn't he just 6648?
"What's going on!" Lu Ming's heart pounded. His acupoint experience had suddenly increased by 12 points.
He took the Enlightenment Pill just to master the Eighteen Forms of Green Bamboo as soon as possible. Once he had mastered the Eighteen Forms of Green Bamboo and gained a stable amount of extra experience, he could exchange it for the Cloud Piercing Finger.
After all, Wei Jinlin's goal for him was to cultivate the Cloud Piercing Finger to a minor level before the big exam.
Unexpectedly, the experience gained from this training was doubled!
A sudden realization!
Lu Ming's eyes widened slightly; this must be the effect of his sudden enlightenment.
Cultivating in a state of sudden enlightenment can actually double the evolutionary experience gained?!
This unexpected surprise made Lu Ming ecstatic.
Although the Supernatural Power Panel was a game cheat he used in his previous life, it has slight differences in different games.
Therefore, he did not expect that in this world, the supernatural power panel has the characteristic of doubling the enlightenment effect.
It's understandable when you think about it. A state of sudden enlightenment is extraordinary, and the efficiency of developing supernatural powers doubles, which makes perfect sense.
In this way, the Enlightenment Pill had a double effect on him, making Lu Ming extremely satisfied.
With the Enlightenment Pill, he gained the equivalent of twice the cultivation time and experience each day.
That is, 900 experience points per day!
The time required to develop the third acupoint supernatural power has been shortened to within four days!
For a moment, Lu Ming was full of energy.
"Open the liver!"
Holding a short stick, he immediately began practicing the Eighteen Forms of Green Bamboo.
[Evolving acupoint supernatural power (6672/10000)...]
[Evolving acupoint supernatural power (6684/10000)...]
[Evolving acupoint supernatural power (6696/10000)...]
The rapidly growing experience with acupoints excited Lu Ming, making him practice with increasing enthusiasm.
That day, he practiced until late at night, finishing the remaining three hours of practice before going to sleep.
……
The next day, having gained experience, he knew that the state of the Enlightenment Pill was special, and that it was difficult to be affected by the medicinal power.
So he took the Enlightenment Pill early before going to the Grand Martial Arts Arena.
"Brother Lu, I never expected you to be so well-hidden. You've made a name for yourself and even won the favor of Pavilion Master Qin of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion."
As soon as I entered the Grand Martial Arts Arena, a man with an elegant demeanor stepped forward and offered his congratulations with a smile.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zhao Zhiqi, whom they had dealt with before.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Just lucky, just lucky."
After Zhao Zhi Qiu took the short test, he returned to his family and only came back today. He brought a young man with him and stood before Lu Ming, saying:
"This is my cousin, named Zhao Ming. He has just reached the Great Perfection of Skin Refining and has come to the Grand Martial Arts Arena."
"Since I have already sheltered one person, I cannot shelter Zhao Ming as well."
"Brother Lu has now reached the level of Flesh Refining, but he does not yet have anyone under his protection. I wonder if you could help protect my younger brother?"
"If Brother Lu is willing to protect me, I am willing to offer two hundred taels of silver as a token of my gratitude."
The young man, Zhao Ming, held a wooden tray covered with a red cloth, through which the outline of silver ingots could be vaguely seen. He stepped forward respectfully and said:
"Zhao Ming begs for protection from Senior Brother Lu."
Upon seeing this, Lu Ming suddenly realized that he was now also at the Body Refinement stage, which not only qualified him to train in the entire Grand Martial Arts Arena, but also allowed him to protect someone.
Thinking back to how he had no one to protect him before, and how he had only managed to get Feng Qingzhu with the help of the Qi-Boosting Pill, which was quite difficult, now that the genius of the Zhao family had come to his door with his cousin, offering two hundred taels of silver for protection.
A surge of pride welled up in Lu Ming's chest. He knew that with his current cultivation level, even without the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's recruitment, his status was already different.
My own Ganlin Powder is almost used up. If I had these two hundred taels of silver, I could make twenty more doses of Ganlin Powder.
Lu Ming accepted the silver and said with a smile, "Since Brother Zhao has asked, there is naturally no problem."
Zhao Zhiqi chuckled, "Brother Lu is straightforward!"
A hint of joy appeared on Zhao Ming's face. With Lu Ming's protection, he could train for a full three hours every day in the Grand Martial Arts Arena, making him more confident in becoming a martial arts prodigy.
The two parties then approached Wei Jinlin, recorded the available slots, and the transaction was successfully completed.
Lu Ming stepped into the area of iron stakes and continued to practice the Eighteen Forms of Green Bamboo.
[Evolving acupoint supernatural power (7104/10000)...]
[It's evolving...]
……
[Evolving acupoint supernatural power (10008/10000)...]
Four days later.
In the grand martial arts arena, Lu Ming practiced the Eighteen Forms of Green Bamboo for the last time. Seeing that his acupoint experience was finally full, he quickly withdrew from the iron stake area.
[Evolution complete!]
[Gained the acupoint superpower: Finger Flick.]
(P.S.: The previous calculation was incorrect. According to the original development, the third acupoint supernatural power should have evolved in about ten days, instead of being just short of evolving before the big exam. The previous calculation has been corrected.)
