Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 388 A Thousand-Year Scheme Turns into a Wedding Dress for Another

Back then, after Shenwu Zhenren achieved Foundation Establishment, Yuanshi Sect massacred Qingming Pavilion for half an 8,000-year-old ginseng king. Xuantian Sword Sect went to war with Medicine King Valley over three 10,000-year-old ginseng leaves. Wancheng Sword Sect also started a great war with Yuanshi Sect in the two sects' domains.

If news of this ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king that has become sentient and transformed were to reach the upper realm, even those old monsters who have been in seclusion for thousands of years would probably break out of their seclusion!

When it comes to medicinal efficacy, there are many rare and precious treasures in the world that can rival it, but the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King has transcended the constraints of ordinary products and completed a fundamental transformation.

Its most precious feature is that it can extend one's life by three hundred years. For reclusive old monsters whose lifespan is about to end, whose souls are decaying, and who have no hope of reincarnation, it is nothing less than a lifeline in a desperate situation, enough to drive these old monsters who are barely clinging to life crazy.

"What a waste! What a waste!"

Shenwu Zhenren's pupils contracted violently, and his withered face twisted into a ferocious expression due to extreme rage.

He watched as Xu Yunfan stuffed the ginseng into his mouth, his bluish-gray fingernails already digging into his palms, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.

Three thousand years of planning seem to have been given away for someone else's benefit at this moment.

Back then, he encountered a powerful enemy. In order to avoid karma and escape death, and at the same time strive to advance further, he fell to the Foundation Establishment Realm due to his injuries. He then returned to the Divine Martial Realm and used a secret method to seal his soul into that evil dragon, enduring the erosion of the earth's Yin energy day and night.

"This sage has been planning the reconstruction of his physical body for three thousand years, and has devoted countless efforts to slumbering until now. If this sage can help him, perhaps he can create an acquired Dao body..."

"You brat, you deserve to die!"

Watching Xu Yunfan put the food into his mouth, the Foundation Establishment cultivator's expression twisted, his true essence boiling, as if he were forcefully drawing Chen Jiuchuan's essence to temporarily boost his combat power.

The moment the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king transformed into a spirit creature, Xu Yunfan shoved it into its mouth!
"Gudong!"

The moment the ginseng entered the throat, a surge of vitality erupted like a volcano.

His field of vision suddenly became a flood of information, almost like a data waterfall, with a constant stream of notifications popping up.

Xu Yunfan didn't have time to look closely; he only felt his withered right arm instantly fill out, and the skin even shone with a jade-like luster.

The Martial Dao Mystic Crystal sensed the vast spiritual energy rapidly emanating from the Ginseng King, which instantly filled Xu Yunfan's body. The absorption speed increased tenfold, and dark gold patterns clearly emerged through his flesh and blood, condensing into strange patterns on his chest.

With the last ingredient added, the Martial Arts Crystal is being implanted into Xu Yunfan's body.

"Do not!!"

The eyes of the Divine Martial Immortal were wide open, and his turbid pupils reflected unbelievable horror.

He painstakingly planned for thousands of years, even resorting to ancient treasures to obscure the secrets of heaven, but unexpectedly, he ended up meeting Xu Yunfan, an unconventional land immortal-level martial artist!
Three thousand years of planning collapsed at this moment, as if one could hear the crisp sound of the chains of destiny breaking at the end of the road.

His path has lost all hope.

Although a Foundation Establishment Realm True Person possesses the ability to awaken past wisdom through five lifetimes of reincarnation, it is like an hourglass that will eventually run out of sand.

Once the limit of five generations is exceeded, the soul will wither completely, like a candle in the wind.

At that time, they will be forever trapped in the cycle of suffering, and it may take tens of thousands of years of vicissitudes before they can find a chance to enter the Dao again in the vast and uncertain Dao.

At this moment, golden light burst forth from every pore of Xu Yunfan's body. The absorption of the martial arts crystal was forcibly reversed, and the crystal began to nourish its host!
Although Xu Yunfan was aware of Shenwu Zhenren's fury, he did not take it seriously.

He admitted that his opponent was very strong, having emerged from the martial arts world. Every move he made drew upon the power of heaven and earth to launch attacks from all directions, and every gesture he made carried the divine thunder to suppress and kill.

It made him extremely envious.

However, he was no pushover either. He hadn't even used the "Lin" technique yet; if it weren't for wanting to better understand the opponent's martial arts techniques and further explore the Martial Dao Mystic Crystal and the Divine Martial Foundation, he wouldn't have exchanged so many blows with this guy. Given Chen Jiuchuan's strength and realm, Xu Yunfan could completely crush him.

The spiritual liquid transformed from the ginseng child surged through the meridians, and the martial arts essence absorbed it like a thirsty whale.

Xu Yunfan's Ten Extremes True Qi spontaneously formed a vortex in his dantian to counteract it.

Each tug-of-war triggered a thunderous roar, and the dissipated energy transformed all the vegetation within a hundred feet into towering trees, only to wither and turn to ash in the next moment.

Shenwu Zhenren attempted to interfere, but was forced back three steps by the counter-force of the spiritual pressure.

He was horrified to discover that Xu Yunfan had used the tearing force between the two forces to forcibly strengthen his physique, which was already at its limit!
The originally blocked orifice was violently opened, and the moment it was broken, it was rapidly repaired by the vitality of the ginseng child.

This is clearly the "Hundred Bones Connecting to the Mysterious Realm" cultivation method secretly passed down by the Yuanshi Sect!

Despite lacking the Meridian Opening Pill, Xu Yunfan attempted to forcibly construct his internal meridian system by relying on the immense medicinal power of the Ginseng Baby Elixir.

However, after a long period of back-and-forth, the barely formed meridian system remained like a phantom in the fog, disintegrating at the slightest movement and unable to take solid shape.

It seems that the effects of the Meridian Opening Pill are far more than just assisting in cultivation; there must be some hidden mystery behind it.

Xu Yunfan sighed softly, having no choice but to temporarily shelve this bold attempt.

Three breaths later, Xu Yunfan's skin cracked inch by inch, revealing molten gold patterns beneath.

These fiery patterns, like living creatures, meander and intertwine, converging at the chest to form the ancient totem of Zhenwu stepping on a tortoise and snake.

The tortoise shell pattern subtly corresponds to the number nine, and the snake scale pattern reveals the stars in the sky. With each breath, the patterns sometimes surge like the earth's veins and sometimes resemble heavenly fire spreading across the plains, making the entire body look like a black iron blank being tempered by a divine weapon.

The speed at which the Mystic Crystal absorbed energy decreased sharply, and it began to release refined, pure energy instead.

He suddenly groaned, and the dragon on his spine lit up section by section, with tiny Dao patterns appearing on each joint.

This is a sign of physical foundation building!
Xu Yunfan clearly sensed that he had already touched that mysterious threshold, as if he only needed one more step to break through the shackles and step into a completely new world.

The Martial Arts Crystal has now merged with his heart, pumping out pale golden blood with each heartbeat.

He felt the earth-shattering changes within his body; his true energy completely liquefied, forming a golden lake where his flesh and blood intersected.

His bone density skyrocketed, and he could create sonic booms with a light clench of his fist. Most astonishingly, he possessed unparalleled sensory abilities.

At this moment, I can clearly sense the aura and trajectory of the Yuanshi Sect disciples a hundred miles away!

However, when he channeled all his true energy to try to break through this final barrier, he found that the invisible boundary was as indestructible as an insurmountable chasm, and no matter how much he exerted his strength, it did not budge.

In that instantaneous moment of enlightenment, Xu Yunfan realized with a clear understanding that he ultimately lacked the most crucial foundation in Tao.

Without practicing orthodox cultivation methods and without receiving guidance from true scriptures, how can one presume to open the door to foundation building?

This is like trying to split the celestial iron with ordinary iron; it will ultimately be in vain.

Only a true cultivation scripture that points directly to the Great Dao can be forged to create the supreme Dao sword that can cleave through the heavens.
