Ling shi's treatment required eight steps, Su shi's required seven steps, and even Pavilion Master Kang's would require five steps. Yet, this fellow actually solved the problem using a single step?
"Nonsense! You are dreaming!"
At that moment, Pavilion Master Kang harrumphed coldly. His face was steeled, and the displeasure on it was clear, "Every single cultivation technique that is passed down is created, tested, and refined by innumerable predecessors. How can it be changed that easily? If that cultivator were to try an untested cultivation technique in a wounded state, putting aside whether it would be possible to reach Transcendent Mortal realm or not, their cultivation might even go berserk, thus exacerbating their wounds and putting them at risk of death. As a master teacher, how can you come up with such a flippant solution?"
Closed Gate - Right side of one's brain
Hibernation Gate - Left side of one's brain
Death Gate - One's heart
Life Gate - At the center point between your left and right armpit on your body
Impair Gate - Below the Life Gate, around the hollow part beneath the middle of your ribcage
Panorama Gate - Below your Impair Gate, around your stomach.
Fright Gate - Below your Panorama Gate, near your intestines.
The concept of the eight gates originates from an ancient Chinese divination technique known as Qi Men Dun Jia (Feel free to Google it). The names I gave are the closest translation I can come up with and they are by no means official. The eight doors and paired to one another (Life & Death, Impair & Fright, Origin & Closed, Panorama & Hibernation).
