Chapter 1960 1.1959 The Final Battle at the Brothel

Even through the "Rainbow Feather Robe," Qin Cao's lower abdomen appeared almost transparent. One could see directly through her skin and perceive a vortex of true energy. This visible energy was not stagnant but rather flowed freely through all the meridians in her body. Following the energy circulation path of the "Formless Divine Skill," the true energy circulated throughout her body.

It's important to understand that achieving "the Great Circulation of True Qi" is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Even "the Small Circulation of True Qi" has different stages. There are five stages: Beginner (Level 1), Minor Success (Level 3), Major Success (Level 7), Perfection (Level 9), and Peak (Level 10). The meridians traversed by the True Qi during these stages are not entirely the same. In short, the higher the skill level, the wider the range of True Qi circulation. At the same time, the True Qi stored in the meridians becomes more abundant.

The supreme primordial energy, derived from the transformation of the formless golden elixir, flows into the Shenque acupoint, also known as the navel center, qi she, or qi he. It belongs to the Ren meridian. It is located in the center of the navel.

The unpredictable nature of this point is described as "divine." The "que" (阙) refers to a vital point, specifically the navel, where the umbilical cord connects to the fetus during birth, providing nourishment; hence, it is also called the "lifeline." It is named Shenque (神阙) because the fetus relies on this point for nourishment, which is then transported throughout the body, allowing the fetus to develop gradually and unpredictably. This point is considered the gateway to the primordial spirit, thus possessing the effects of restoring yang, rescuing from collapse, and opening the orifices to revive the dying.

Since they both belong to the Ren meridian, they converge at the Shenque acupoint and then into the Qihai acupoint, making it the closest point for the circulation of primordial energy.

Qihai, also known as Bofu, Xiamang, and Xiaqihai, belongs to the Ren meridian. It is the original point of the Huang meridian. Located in the lower abdomen, on the anterior midline, one and a half inches below the navel. The name "Hai" means "gathering place," and this point, located below the navel, is the gathering place of the body's innate vital energy. For men, it is the "sea of ​​vital energy," governing all qi-related ailments, hence the name Qihai. Furthermore, it originates from the uterus (Dantian) along with the Ren and Chong meridians, and posteriorly connects with the Du meridian and the Foot Shaoyin meridian. Simultaneously, the Ren meridian connects with the three Yin meridians of the foot and hand, thus it is called the "Sea of ​​All Yin."

It's like adding fuel to the fire.

The supreme primordial energy was poured in, and the Qi Sea instantly boiled. At the center of the true energy vortex, it was like a supernova explosion or the birth of a black hole. The true energy flowing through the eight extraordinary meridians and overflowing from the limbs and bones was absorbed into the Qi Sea acupoint like rivers flowing into the sea. As if driven by an interlocking chain, the lower dantian ignited the "Refining Essence into Qi" → the middle dantian ignited the "Refining Qi into Spirit" → the upper dantian ignited the "Refining Spirit into Emptiness" → achieving "Unity of Heaven and Man".

The true qi is refined by the Samadhi True Fire, and the "Guiding the Fire Back to its Origin" process is finally completed: "Guiding the Samadhi True Fire, refining the true qi back to its origin."

True Qi returns to its origin, and the vortex forms the inner elixir.

Moreover, the entire process went smoothly without any calamity occurring.

In the Sanctuary storyline's world, the so-called "Heavenly Tribulation" of cultivation is actually a type of "God War." Simply put, if a player forms their Golden Core in a certain Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) storyline and prepares to shatter the void and ascend to godhood, it will inevitably trigger the intervention or even obstruction of the guardian deity of that timeline. Thus, a "God War" becomes unavoidable. In a sense, this storyline war initiated by the guardian deity is indeed a "Heavenly Tribulation."

In the Shattered City, the Guardian God had long since shattered along with the timeline of his story.

Furthermore, this was a disruption mission initiated by Wu Chen, and the arena was within his exclusive 6-star arena card. Clearly, Qin Cao's breakthrough wouldn't trigger the so-called Heavenly Tribulation. Besides, she was currently only a 5.5-star Earth Immortal, not yet subject to the rules of the "God War."

However, looking at the entire world of murals, the Earth Immortals who have broken through and descended from their stars are already top-tier masters.

If it weren't for the shortage of miraculous elixirs and limited time, the power transfer method could have elevated Right Protector Xiahou Ying to the Earth Immortal level. Unfortunately, the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Great Rejuvenation Pill, and Returning Origin Pill were all exhausted. The rapid mastery of the divine skill was insufficient. The reason for not elevating Right Protector Xiahou Ying, but instead elevating the top courtesan Qin Cao of Huixian Yaxu, was also for the final showdown in the brothel.

After Qin Cao circulated her Qi throughout her body, sinking it to her Dantian, she gracefully rose to her feet.

The members of the Demon Hunting Sect in Yonghua Village breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is it?" Right Protector Xiahou Ying asked, just to be on the safe side.

"Very good." Qin Cao's spirit was radiant and restrained, her jade-like beauty surpassing even her previous appearance.

“In that case, let’s go and fight.” Right Protector Xiahou Ying, with a heroic and valiant air.

"That is exactly what I wish for." Qin Cao moved with light, graceful steps, as elegant as a startled swan and as lithe as a swimming dragon. She was truly breathtakingly beautiful.

After Huang Xiuhong, Wu Fulian, and Wen Cuiping, who had vanished and lost all their powers, were taken to an inner room for rest. Elder Gu Xianniang then mustered her men and opened the gates of the stronghold.

Seeing the gates of Yonghua Village wide open, cheers erupted from upstairs and downstairs. The pleasure-seekers who had paid a fortune to enter were all eager to make their move, and thunderous applause filled the air.

Across the grand arena, the defending champion, Chang Le Fang, was not to be outdone, and opened its doors wide.

As previously known, the four top courtesans of Changlefang are Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju: Miss Zhu, Miss Ju, Miss Mei, and Miss Lan. There is also the newcomer Xiao Qing, and the sexy Persian cat Xiao Huaiya from the Western Regions. After three days of fierce competition, they have also won over many other courtesans. They should have been a grand and imposing force, but unexpectedly, only Changlefang's owner, Su Wuniang, remained aloof and admired herself, appearing in full regalia.

"Fairy Maiden, go." Right Protector Xiahou Ying made a decisive decision. "Alright." Although she didn't know what the other party was up to, Elder Gu Xianniang of Huitian still went up on stage alone to meet with Su Wuniang, the owner of Changlefang.

Su Wuniang, the owner of Changlefang, took the initiative and asked, "Does Pavilion Master Gu know about 'Guanpu'?"

"It's a game played by people from the Song Dynasty." Elder Gu Xianniang smiled slightly: "The owner of the gambling den is from the Tang Dynasty, so he knows about things that happened later. I came from the Yuan Dynasty, so how could I not know about things that happened before me?"

"What the Pavilion Master says is true." Su Wuniang, the owner of Changlefang, sighed, "Living in a drunken stupor, as if in a dream. 'I wonder what year it is tonight in the celestial palace.'"

"The brocade zither has fifty strings for no reason, each string and bridge evokes thoughts of bygone years. Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly, and the Emperor Wang's heart was entrusted to the cuckoo. The moon shines brightly over the sea, pearls seem to weep; the sun warms the jade of Lantian, and smoke rises from it. This feeling can only be recalled in retrospect, for at the time it was already a regret." Elder Gu Xianniang softly recited the poem "The Brocade Zither" by Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty.

“Indeed, ‘this is something to look forward to.’” Su Wuniang, the owner of Changlefang, got back to the point: “Our two families are the best in the industry. It is a great honor for Beibao to win the brothel together. The conflict can be put to rest. It is often said that ‘man proposes, God disposes.’ In that case, let us leave our success or failure to fate, shall we?”

"How can everyone accept their fate?" Elder Gu Xianniang naturally wanted to find out.

Su Wuniang, the owner of Changlefang, clapped her hands lightly: "Please watch, Pavilion Master."

As soon as the applause began, something appeared out of thin air.

This object is actually a type of gambling game from the Song Dynasty, known as Guanpu. The Southern Song painter Su Hanchen depicts a game called "Human and Horse Spinning Wheel" in his painting "Children Playing in an Autumn Garden." The wheel consists of a frame, a spinning disc, and a pointer shaped like a human and horse. Different patterns are painted on the disc. When the disc stops, the pointer points to different patterns, determining the winner. This is the lottery game later known as the "Happy Spinning Wheel."

Unlike a single-wheel game, this "Happy Wheel of Fortune" is a double-wheel game. The two wheels work together, with pointers pointing in opposite directions, like a celestial guide. When both wheels stop spinning, the forked pointers simultaneously select the symbols on both wheels.

The selected patterns represent the two teams competing in this round.

really.

At first glance, the beautiful patterns on the fan, such as animals and flowers, represent the two courtesans of Huitiange and Changlefang.

In other words, the participants and their order of appearance are all determined randomly.

It's all about the thrill.

"What do you think, Master?" Su Wuniang, the owner of Changlefang, asked in a raised voice.

"When in Rome, do as the host says," Elder Gu Xianniang of Huitian said.

"Wonderful!" said Su Wuniang, the owner of Changlefang, her smile captivating.

Without further ado, both sides simultaneously rotated each other's wheels.

Upstairs and downstairs, everyone held their breath and concentrated.

When the pointer finally stopped, cheers erupted.

Elder Gu Xianniang turned to a five-colored rooster.

Su Wuniang, the owner of Changlefang, turned to a colorful long worm.
