256 PREPARATION FOR BREAKTHROUGH-1

The concern of gathering resources was suppressed as of now. He decided to start practicing the art of Pill-Sword saint. The water element was the only category of acupoints which remained closed. Li Meng was the first one to go through the breakthrough. He started to ingest frost energy from the spring into his body. 

 Cold energy rushed into Li Meng's Qi veins and started to assault its walls. He could feel icy spikes colliding against the walls, trying to pierce through. He applied a layer of Qi around the walls and began the process of rotating it according to the art. The frost spring was proving to be a difficult resource to digest.

 Li Meng's body took a long time to accommodate this pure form of energy. The keeper recommended opening up all the other elemental acupoints before trying to absorb the frost spring. True to his advice, the other elemental acupoints helped in the assimilation of this energy and began to rotate freely throughout his body.
