Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 179 Ginseng
His breathing seemed to connect heaven and earth. In the rhythm of his three long and two short breaths, a faint white mist rose from his body.

A discerning warrior would see that the mist was actually sweat from the pores condensing when it got cold, which was a sign that the blood circulation had reached its peak.

Before he knew it, the morning light began to shine from the horizon. Xu Yunfan put his tongue against the roof of his mouth, and a long dragon roar escaped from between his teeth.

Pure Yang energy emerged from deep within the flesh and blood, and the hot warm current plowed through the muscles and tendons.

Wherever he passed, the muscles in his arms suddenly tensed like a fully drawn ox horn bow, and the muscle bundles were clearly visible like twisted steel strings.

The morning glow spread over the mountain ridge and the moment it shone on his body, his Adam's apple rolled, like a swordsman swallowing a nine-foot-long blade.

Suddenly, a cool feeling spread across the throat, like snow water soaking through thousand-year-old moss, winding down the esophagus into an ice-blue stream, falling down the throat into the stomach, and then quickly dispersing into the flesh and blood, being assimilated by the pure yang internal energy.

At the moment of intake, the chest cavity suddenly expanded three inches, and the rib muscles bulged out like iron bars.

The purple air of the morning glow that was absorbed was wrapped in a number of Yuan Ling that far exceeded the number before and rushed into the body, forming a series of hot vortexes between the muscles and skin.

If you cut open the skin and take a closer look, you will find that the muscle fibers are vibrating at a high frequency that is difficult to see with the naked eye, and impurities in the body are discharged from the pores as black sweat.

"Ho!"

When the morning sun completely jumped out of the horizon, Xu Yunfan slowly stopped. Most of the pure yang energy that had been consumed in his body had been replenished at this moment, and it was even several points stronger than before.

The warm breath emitted by the pure yang internal energy flowing through the flesh and blood is like winter snow melting in spring, flowing through the tendons, bones and skin, nourishing them so much that even the bones emit the subtle chirping of cicadas.

The bones and muscles are chirping!

Even after he stopped, the strange sensations all over his body remained. The rising heat waves evaporated the morning dew into mist, and the exposed skin was glowing with a dull luster like burnt copper.

"You practiced Pure Yang Qigong at a place where mountains converge. Your practice was blessed. Every time you practiced Pure Yang Qigong, you gained a far greater spiritual energy than before. Your Pure Yang Qigong proficiency points increased significantly."

"You are in one place..."

Three tips, up twelve points!
Pure Yang Qigong, 42/1000 (minor success)
Special effects: Pure Yang Purple Qi, Qi Armor, Recovery, Stage 1

Glancing at the proficiency of Chunyang Qigong on the attribute panel, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but grin. If he had known this, he should have mastered the mining skills earlier.

Look, if I had experienced this kind of state when practicing Chunyang Qigong before, I would have almost reached the third level by now.

Waste of time.

Pay attention next time.

Xu Yunfan's ears moved slightly and his eyes looked down.

Suddenly, the sound of metal hammering came from the southeast.

Someone is trying to destroy the course of the earth veins in this area. If they are destroyed, the earth veins will be interrupted and blocked, the magnetic field of the mountain will change, and the spiritual energy accumulated here will probably dissipate in an instant.

This place is the closest and best to Tiangong Cave. If it has been dug up by someone, the similar place would be almost a hundred miles away from the mountains.

He jumped off the cliff, and there was no sound when he landed, just like a willow catkin falling.

But he saw seven shirtless men digging at the rock. Xu Yunfan kept looking at these men who were digging at the rock with their heads down.

His eyebrows raised slightly. How come those kites on the northern Mang Mountain of Yanbei Road are everywhere?

Although these tomb robbers belong to a martial arts sect, they stay underground all day long and rarely move around. The one I met at the ghost market outside Beiye City in Qingzhou seemed to have stayed there because an object was unearthed at the ghost market, but in the end he wanted to rob the robbers for some unknown reason.

Xu Yunfan's eyes swept over the crisscrossing cinnabar red ropes in the cracks of the rocks. Three-inch iron nails were nailed in the nine directions, and each red rope was tied with a bronze bell.

Although he was not sure what the formation was, with his current vision, he could naturally see that so many preparations were made, and it was obviously a setup to trap something.

"The earth's fire, sulfur, and cinnabar are mixed together. Aren't you afraid of the blood poison attacking your heart?"

Xu Yunfan's boot soles crushed a few sulfur gravels, and the crushing sound was particularly clear in the cave.

The middle-aged man who was leading the group and was called the Lantern Master, suddenly turned around upon hearing this and watched Xu Yunfan fall silently behind the crowd. The centipede scar on his left cheek twitched and twisted as his facial muscles twitched, and the seven fine steel claws on his waist trembled slightly with his breathing.

The broken hemp rope in the northwest corner suddenly tightened, and the copper bell tied to it suddenly made a sound.

"Add three red ropes to the southeast corner! The Eight Gates Rope is leaking there!"

The scarred man growled, and the pockmarked man didn't dare to delay and immediately threw out a barbed net made of three copper nails wrapped in red thread.

Xu Yunfan noticed that there was a faint blue smoke rising from the cracks in the rocks, which was the trace of a mixture of sulfur powder and saltpeter.

The so-called "Eight Gates of Dunjia" is actually a chain mechanism commonly used in Beimang Mountain. Gunpowder fuses are hidden in the interlaced red ropes, and the bronze bells are filled with love drug powder.

Seeing the battle situation getting dark, the lamplighter finally breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up and bowed to Xu Yunfan, saying, "Sir from Tiangong Cave, we are only here to dig some wild ginseng. We apologize for disturbing you!"

Seeing that the other party told him his origins and spoke politely, Xu Yunfan naturally did not show any displeasure.

He said calmly, "With Ghost Crying Abyss as the point, the area within a radius of thirty miles all falls under the jurisdiction of Tiangong Cave. Perhaps you are not aware that a few days ago, the Shuzhou capital, Rongcheng, posted notices all over the Lingnan Dao."

Seeing that the middle-aged man looked unhappy, Xu Yunfan said, "I'm not trying to embarrass you. I'm just digging some wild ginseng.

But this place is exactly where the surrounding mountains converge. You're destroying the terrain and breaking the nodes of the earth veins, which is quite unethical. To put it more seriously... you're actually destroying the Feng Shui of Tiangong Cave!"

When this big hat was put on, even the lamplighter who had been in charge for a long time couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

"Three hundred year old wild ginseng can be used as a tonic to replenish qi and blood, and can save lives. I have a brother lying in bed, and this is the only thing he needs. I hope you can be more accommodating."

As the lamplighter spoke, he took out a stack of silver bills from his pocket. A quick glance showed that there were probably nearly a thousand taels of silver.

Xu Yunfan's eyes moved slightly. These guys digging in the ground were all very wealthy. His expression relaxed slightly and he was about to speak.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from deep in the rock layer, and several pieces of gravel fell from the top wall.

Xu Yunfan's ears moved slightly, and he could tell that it was the sound of small animals fleeing between the rocks.

But the lamplighter didn't have time to say anything. He immediately stepped forward and swung out three mountain-piercing claws. The steel claws nailed into the cracks in the rock and pulled out a silk net soaked in anesthetic. Then, a delicate figure the size of a palm was suddenly stopped by the silk net made of unknown material, revealing its shape.

Xu Yunfan could see clearly that the person wrapped in the silk net was a little baby wearing a red bellyband, with a few grass leaves on his head, ginseng silk extending from his four wrists, and his whole body looking like a piece of finely carved jade.
