    Default Which wuxia characters have demonstrated the ability to unblock their own acupoints?

    In wuxia fiction, the ability to block acupoints seems to be a near universal skill among martial artists. Rarer is the skill of *unblocking* one's own acupoints when they are blocked, but an inordinate number of wuxia protagonists seem to have this skill. Which characters have demonstrated the skill of unblocking their own acupoints in wuxia fiction?

    Yep. He's one, but there are many more in wuxia lore.

    The one which comes to mind is Priest Tianmen of Taishan, although it cost him his life.

    Yue Buqun used his Divine Art of the Violet Twilight to unseal his acupoints after his fight against the 15 masked brothers. I feel like this inner power method of his is superior to the inner power of the other 4 Sword schools have of his alliance.

    Hua Shan during the time of HSDS had the high level LiangYi swordplay too. Too bad they lost their best techniques and fighters by the time XAJH started. The fracticide cost them the alliance leadership.

    In XAJH era, It seems Songshan has strong inner power + best palm techniques, music Hengshan has the best offensive sword moves, Buddhist Hengshan the best defensive sword moves + good lightness kung fu.

    I think it would depend on how the acupoint was sealed. Some techniques seal acupoints in an unconventional way (like Yiyang Finger), which makes it harder to unseal by yourself or by someone else.
