Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 144 The terrifying talent
When he arrived at the Tiangong Department School, Xu Yunfan stood at the door, listening to the sounds coming from inside.

"Remember, our Tiangong Department must adhere to the four-character standard of "taking bribes and extortion" when constructing our own Tiangong Cave."

"Teacher Zhang, what are the four words for 'chi na ka ru'?"

Another slightly childish voice sounded, filled with innocent curiosity.

The voice of Deacon Zhang Yue of Tiangong Cave rang out with an unquestionable tone.

"Of course, to eat means to thoroughly understand the drawings, to obtain means to find the basis, to stick to the specifications, and to demand means to have results.

Our Tiangong Department has been cooperating with the Jiji Hall for many years, and the entire Tiangong Fortress is the majority of the work undertaken by our Tiangong Department. Now that the Azure Dragon Winch is activated, it is impregnable, and even the Marrow Cleansing Master is helpless. This is evident."

"What about external affairs?"

Zhang Yue's words changed.

"Remember, the amount of money spent on building a Tiangong Fortress over the years at Tiangong Cave must be astronomical. This is based on the free labor of the Rongjin Hall who dig for gold all day long. Otherwise, the cost would have to be several times higher.

When we're out and about, we eat when we're treated, take when we're given, and take when we're not given. We need to feel safe eating, assured taking, comfortable taking, and comfortable asking for... "

Xu Yunfan: “…”

When Xu Yunfan walked out of the Tiangong Department Academy and saw a large group of young men talking and laughing as they walked out, his eyes were filled with regret.

“Time is the best healer.”

Zhang Yue, the deacon of the Tiangong Department, walked up to Xu Yunfan and stared at the backs of the group of young people.

"The Tiangongdong sect has been established for 1,023 years. We have experienced six crises of extinction and more than a dozen times when most of the disciples were nearly wiped out. However, the ancestors of each generation have always managed to survive, whether it was by bowing and kneeling in submission or standing firm and defending to the death. The ancestors of each generation have done it.

Future generations will judge right and wrong, merits and demerits.

These are the future of the Tiangong Department. There are many good talents among them, and perhaps a few figures like Master Wan will emerge."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh.

"After all, we can't be like the six major sects, who swallowed up a land and gathered all the heroes in the world."

Xu Yunfan was silent for a moment, then said softly, "That day will come."

Although he had stayed in the library for a long time and read various professional books from the four major departments, he did not pay attention to the historical records of Tiangong Cave.

Zhang Yue was no longer lost in reminiscence. He turned around and walked into the courtyard first, saying, "Junior Brother Xu, come in and talk first. Master has already instructed me to teach you the full set of Black Turtle Camel Mountain Power."

"Thank you!"

Xu Yunfan nodded in thanks.

At the beginning of the morning hour, in the Zhenchuan Villa where Xu Yunfan of the Casting Weapon Hall lived, his nostrils flared as he smelled the smell of sulfur in the air from time to time.

The key to the "Outer Three Harmonies" of Chunyang Qigong surged through his flesh and blood: shoulders and hips united, elbows and knees united, hands and feet united. His body, perfected in the three practices of tendons, bones, and skin, was as taut as a bowstring, yet always just a fraction short.

"Crack!"

During the fifth attempt at "Three-in-One", my right shoulder blade suddenly became dislocated.

pat!

With a soft click, the shoulder blade snapped back into place with the movement of muscles like a winch. Xu Yunfan stared at the bleeding knuckles, his brow furrowed. He felt as if he was missing some crucial secret, but the Pure Yang Qigong didn't explain it, leaving him a bit baffled. Perhaps there was a secret, passed down orally by the Daoist sect, not revealed in manuals.

At noon, the magnetic compass in the underground mine was spinning wildly.

Xu Yunfan pressed his palms on the rock wall, and the blood energy stimulated by the gold-melting and iron-forging skills resonated with the black iron veins.

A strange pulsation came from deep in the rock layer, as if a prehistoric beast was breathing in and out golden energy.

"Seven feet to the southwest, three inches below the pickaxe! It must be a piece of blazing iron!"

Xu Yunfan smashed the black iron pickaxe in his hand towards the mark on the rock wall.

The moment the pickaxe tip pierced in, the entire vein turned over like a living python, and three hundred kilograms of black iron ore broke through the wall. Just like dissecting it, a fist-sized iron block with a red glow was revealed from the black iron ore!
When I held it in my hand, I felt my palm was burning hot.

This fist-sized piece of fiery iron contains temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Celsius.

Xu Yunfan said happily, "I remember in the Heavenly Craftsmanship Records of Forging, there's a divine weapon, the Fire Scale Sword, whose main material was forged from this incandescent iron. The book describes how when the Fire Scale Sword is swung, earth fire surges with incredible burning power. The Qilin blood that flows into it further intensifies the fire, making it capable of melting gold and iron with ease."

Yan Yuwei, who was standing next to him, had an extremely complicated expression when she saw this scene. After a long while, she spoke.

"The power of melting gold and forging iron bursts forth, the three forces of Zhen, Kan, and Li merge into one. You are proficient in finding minerals and identifying veins. Now, you have become a master."

Xu Yunfan turned his head in surprise when he heard that. At this moment, a message appeared in his field of vision.

"Your skill in melting gold and forging iron has reached a certain level of success."

At the end of the Shen period, the floor tiles of the Tiangong Department's martial arts training ground were covered with cracks.

Wan Chen's huge copper axe hit Xu Yunfan's back, making a sound of metal hitting metal.

Zhang Yuefan's expression remained unchanged. He pushed the Black Turtle Camel Mountain Power's Fuyue Style to its extreme. The muscles under his skin were layered like the patterns of an old tortoise shell, and he managed to resist the blow from the giant axe.

"Ok?"

Zhang Yue's originally casual eyes suddenly changed, showing a bit of seriousness.

“Not hard enough!”

Zhang Yue's axe suddenly changed its stance, and the dark energy surged like a tidal wave. "The Black Turtle Power is not about resisting, but about leveraging the force!"

The blue bricks under Xu Yunfan's feet exploded with a loud bang, and his latissimus dorsi muscles undulated like waves, channeling 70% of his hidden strength into the ground.

The remaining thirty percent circulated nine times in the body, causing the muscles to tremble and the bones to creak. Suddenly, it rebounded from the palm and slapped the giant axe. This was the secret of Camel Mountain Power to move mountains and fill the sea!

It can be called using the opponent's force to fight back, but it is transmitted through one's own muscles. After resisting it, only 30% of the force is left to be emitted by one's own strength.

Although it has some of the charm of Tai Chi, it is actually completely different. If you do not have strong physical fitness and do not have horizontal body training as a support, your body will be completely split in half if you just take on the force.

Zhang Yue retreated three steps violently, and the axe handle left an afterimage in his palm. He stopped and looked, and found that there was a palm print on the axe head that was three inches deep and the palm lines were clearly visible.

His face turned pale and blue, and he finally cursed.

"Damn it! I practiced for thirty years before I even got to the threshold."
-
At three quarters past ten, the three hundred and sixty puppets in the secret room of the Mechanical Hall opened their eyes at the same time.

Mo Shisan's fingers moved slightly and hundreds of silk threads popped out, weaving a net around Xu Yunfan.

"The essence of Bailian Chansi Jin lies in the word 'silk'. Whether it's to control mechanical beasts or mechanical puppets, Chansi Jin is required to exert force, pulling the Thousand Machine Silk to control the various mechanisms. To create more sophisticated mechanisms, Chansi Jin must be mastered. Some parts are so tiny that even the Ministry of Heavenly Works cannot produce them. They can only be hand-rolled out bit by bit by relying on Chansi Jin of the Mechanical Hall."
