Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 325: Dirty training!

When the Heavenly Demons were rampaging, Master Chunyang used the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique to defeat eighteen demons in succession.

Even more legendary is that the three forms of the "Pure Yang Sword Technique" left behind by the patriarch before his ascension to heaven are still the ultimate secrets of the Taoist sect, and their true meaning is only revealed at the Purple Qi East Pavilion on Qingwei Mountain every Jiazi year.

Only by cultivating the Pure Yang Qi Gong to perfection can one have the opportunity to come into contact with it.

Xu Yunfan subconsciously touched a roll of silk in his pocket.

When he came down the mountain, Bi Yuan gave him this, saying it was a follow-up technique to the Pure Yang Qi Gong, which contained three sword techniques.

Did the Pure Yang Patriarch really ascend to heaven?

Hearing Xu Yunfan's question, Bi Sheng stroked the ancient scroll: "The legend of the Pure Yang Patriarch's ascension..."

A meaningful smile appeared on his lips. "Your master, Bi Yuan, has always scoffed at it, believing it to be nothing more than a legend fabricated by the Daoist sect to intimidate all sides."

"Then why did my martial uncle still risk retrieving the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Scroll?"

Xu Yunfan naturally didn't think he would be doing something pointless.

"The earth's veins have been surging with spiritual energy for only three years. The revival of spiritual energy has compressed the time for the invasion of the Heavenly Demon from three hundred years later to the present moment... If we cannot survive until the spiritual energy sinks again, it is dangerous, but it is also an opportunity with almost certain death."

At this point, Bi Sheng's expression became somewhat complicated.

"But this scroll of treasures is the only method in the world that can use spiritual energy to cultivate true qi, even if it is only the most rudimentary Qi Condensation Technique. This Xuan Tian Treasure Scroll is a true Qi Condensation Technique. With the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at its side, it can enable even the weakest person to cultivate true qi."

Xu Yunfan's expression shifted slightly: "This is a cultivation technique?"

"Yes and no."

Bi Sheng shook his head slightly: "After so many years of research, the Dao Sect has concluded that this is just a Qi Condensation Technique, not Qi Cultivation. It took the Dao Sect two hundred years to figure it out. It is just a Qi Condensation Technique used by the Heavenly Demons to cultivate blood food. Now that your master wants the original, it must be because he has made some new discovery... It's like taking a shot even if there's no chance."

After a pause, Bi Sheng said in a deep voice, "Write these things down first."

The sound of the Xuanjia Guards' patrol bell came from outside the window. Bi Sheng counted the time on his fingers.

"At the third quarter of the hour of Yin, Cui Yu will come to retrieve the precious scroll."

He glanced at Xu Yunfan's slung bow, which shone with a restrained brilliance, and said, "Now that you possess two divine weapons from the Burial Sword Abyss, you're a sitting duck in Jade Capital City. Taking you out here is just a trap. Wait until the martial arts examination starts before you reappear."

Xu Yunfan asked in surprise, "You really want me to participate in the martial arts exam?"

“You’re the right age,” Bi Sheng said casually, then added, “Besides, this is a necessary step… Your master has probably gathered several senior elders to hold a ritual.”

Xu Yunfan naturally knew that this ritual was intended to help him break through the shackles of martial arts and quickly enter the ninth realm. If it weren't for the revival of spiritual energy in the world and the secret techniques of the Daoist sect to open the altar and manipulate the earth's veins, he really wouldn't have been able to accomplish this earth-shattering feat.

Thinking of this, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but sigh, "Nowadays, the Great Zhou is truly like a dish served on a table, ready for anyone to devour."

Bi Sheng snorted coldly: "You're getting a good deal and still acting innocent... Only after this can the Great Zhou be rebuilt from the ashes, and your junior brother, Haomiao, may be able to regain the throne and reunite the Xuanhuang."

Over the next few days, Xu Yunfan hastily memorized the Qi-absorbing technique recorded in the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" and then set it aside.

He then devoted all his attention to the cultivation of the "Ten Extremes Martial Arts".

On the beast skin left behind by Dugu Jiu, ten kinds of energy coiled like ten dragons on the flesh, bones, and internal organs of the human body, completely encompassing the entire body. There was even one energy that rushed through the Xuan Guan (mysterious gate) and entered the brain.

Xu Yunfan sat cross-legged, his abdomen bulging like thunder. The Heavenly Gang Force was as fierce as thunder, the Earthly Fiend Force was as long and flowing as water, and the Profound Yin Force was chilling to the bone... Each type of force corresponded to the circulation of specific organs and acupoints.

The most astonishing thing is the tenth Hunyuan Jin, which requires the first nine types of energy to be forcibly combined at the point where the energy intersects. If you are not careful, you will explode.

"No wonder Dugu Jiu said this is a martial art that has been forged from hundreds of classic texts..."

It is indeed a fusion of all classic texts, but the fusion is too distorted. If it weren't for the fact that it could indeed encompass all kinds of unique skills after being mastered, and that it had attribute panel certification, Xu Yunfan would not want to touch it at all.

Xu Yunfan stared at the skill proficiency increase notification that popped up on the attribute panel.

An ordinary martial artist needs ten years of hard work to figure out the operating rules of a certain kind of energy. But at this moment, ten three-dimensional meridian models are simultaneously appearing in his mind. The Nine Luminaries Energy flows through his flesh and blood like a galloping horse, and the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Energy permeates along the bones like a stream. Even the most minute blood vessel branches are included.

If it weren't for the attribute panel, Xu Yunfan really wouldn't have been able to complete it.

The martial arts techniques he had mastered, including the Nine Luminaries Absorption Technique, the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Gang, the Pure Yang Qi, and the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing, began to continuously condense into powerful energy within his body.

At dawn on the third day, Xu Yunfan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with ice shards and quickly glanced at a message notification that appeared in his field of vision.

'You are practicing the Ten Extremes Martial Arts and seem to have found some key points. Proficiency +1'

'...'

As his proficiency deepened, his memories of the Ten Extremes Martial Arts training became more profound. He discovered that the true secret of the Ten Extremes Martial Arts lay not in practicing the ten separate energies, but in the dynamic balance formed by the Hunyuan Energy cultivated through the Kongming Washing Sword Technique as the pivot.

'You've mastered the Ten Extremes Martial Arts.'

The moment the ten types of internal energy within Xu Yunfan's body formed a perfect cycle under the control of Hunyuan Jin, an entry-level prompt quickly appeared on the attribute panel.

He only had time to glance at it before Xu Yunfan's bones suddenly emitted a dense burst of clear, jade-like sounds.

The ten scattered streams of energy converged like rivers flowing into the sea, condensing into a single drop of chaotic energy at the navel, which is the unique "Primordial True Seed" of the Ten Extremes Martial Arts.

Once the true seed is formed, the tenth stage will be reached.

As large streams of warm currents flowed into his body through the system, the spine emitted a series of crisp, metallic clanging sounds, and the jade-like luster spread from the vertebrae to his limbs and bones.

Thunderous patterns, reminiscent of the I Ching's "Marrow Cleansing Strength," appeared on the surface of his ribs. Each breath resonated in his chest, causing the blue bricks of the quiet room to shed dust.

After the metallic marrow seeps into the bone marrow, it forms honeycomb-like air chambers inside the bones. This is the initial sign of the formation of jade marrow and golden bones as recorded in "Ten Extremes Martial Arts".

His tendons rang like bowstrings, and his muscle fibers rapidly split and reorganized under the warm current. The scaly crystals that appeared in his subcutaneous tissue made his physically imposing physique even more terrifying.

When Xu Yunfan tried to bend his elbow, his biceps contracted on their own, forming a perfect streamlined arc, as if it were refined steel that had been forged through countless trials.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of his heart beating like the booming of war drums pumped the blood, mixed with vital energy, throughout his body.

At this time, the energy begins to flow into the kidneys, and energy also slowly adheres to the surface of the liver.

This is the stage where the internal organs begin to gradually withstand the force.

Xu Yunfan was naturally overjoyed. For ordinary martial artists to integrate their internal energy into their organs, they need to accumulate it over many years, bit by bit, allowing their internal organs to gradually adapt and be strengthened. Once adapted, the internal energy, under the influence of the five elements of the five internal organs, transforms into a powerful force, and that is considered truly entering the realm of organ training.

(Sorry everyone, it's late today, so that's just two chapters for now. I'll try harder tomorrow! Now that the groundwork is laid, it's time for the real action.)
