The Omnipotent Dragon General

Chapter 867

James was pumped up about solving the mystery of the painting.

He opened the box while he sat on his wheelchair and gingerly lifted out the ancient scroll. As he unfurled the scroll, he could see carvings of human figures on it.

The human figures had many different forms and sizes. Some were standing while others were crouching.

Each of them was marked with a white dot and a red line.

James knew that the white dots represented the location of the acupoints, while the red lines represented the meridians.

This was a meridian acupoint diagram.

Though James knew the human body inside-out and was very familiar with the anatomy as a result, the places where the meridians and the acupoints intersected with one another on the carvings were peculiar. They were utterly incomprehensible when viewed through the lens of contemporary medical science

Back then, James would not have a clue about what the diagram meant. Things were different now. Now, he had the knowledge that came from Volume Two of the Medical Book. He leamed about the Internal Cultivation Method and how to control True Energy. This knowledge allowed him to understand what the meridian acupoint diagram on the scroll was trying to say. The carvings illustrated the flow and movement of True Energy within one’s body.

James wanted to test out his newfound information.
