This method has many side effects—nine deaths for one life—but it did let him luck his way into the Grandmaster Realm. However, his combat power was weak and he was suppressed and killed alone by a Buddhist Grandmaster.
"A Grandmaster who advanced by relying on Fake Acupoints…"
Lufang mused.
Fake Acupoints themselves aren't really taboo. The military has a special True Skill Secret Method specifically for training Fake Acupoints, called "Heavenly Star Refining Technique". This Secret Technique is used to help Martial Artists who've suffered permanent physical damage from combat to make up for missing acupoints, so their cultivation doesn't regress. Fake Acupoints can also break through shackles, it's just that the combat power is relatively weak.
