Scholars/Meridian

Meridian

The Scholars Meridian is Reverting Yin Liver Foot Meridian. Initially capped at level 9, its maximum level increases as the player unlocks acupoints. Acupoints can be unlocked by either cultivating Scholars Internal Skills or reading the Manual of the Cores.

Acupoint	Level Cap	Internal Skill
	9
1	36	Passing Wisdom Skill	Lv 25	Da Dun
2	72	Mingyu Skill	Lv 20	Xing Jian
3	108	Forgotten Love Tract	Lv 20	Tai Chong
4	144	Lotus Sacred Book	Lv 30	Zhong Feng

Reverse Meridian[]

After leveling up the Reverting Yin Liver Foot Meridian to 180 and reading the first page of Purple Soul, the player can unlock the Scholars Reverse Meridian. Alternatively, it can be unlocked by using a Manual of the Core, though this method still requires the standard Meridian to be at level 180.

The acupoints can be unlocked by either cultivating Purple Soul or by reading Manual of the Cores, but the final acupoint can only be unlocked with cultivation.

Acupoint	Level Cap	Internal Skill
	9	Purple Soul	Lv 1	Jueyin Liver Meridian of Foot
1	36	Purple Soul	Lv 18	Qi Men

Artifact[]

The Scholars Meridian Artifact is Ice Toad. When used, the item applies a permanent boost of Breath on the two Meridians.

Using the Artifact requires a payment of 10 Liangs in either Silver Coins or Taels. Each time an Artifact is used, the game rolls a random stat value.

If the player uses Silver Coins, the rolled value always replaces the old one.
If the player uses Taels, the rolled value only replaces the old one if it is higher.

The highest possible value depends on the type of currency used and the player's acupoint progress. The table below displays the maximum possible values.

Currency	No Acupoint	3rd Acupoint	5th Acupoint	6th Acupoint
Silver Coins	15	20	30	50
Taels	30	50	120	180

If the player is using both the Scholars Meridian and its Reverse Meridian at the same time, the stat boost from the Artifact is only applied once to the character.
