Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 274 Where the tides of the martial world surge, we are all fellow travelers.

"Hahaha, Marrow Cleansing Realm, that's..."

Fang Mushan's voice suddenly froze, and the hand on Xu Yunfan's shoulder stiffened as if electrocuted.

Li Haomiao's pupils suddenly contracted, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he even paused for a moment.

"Marrow Cleansing Realm... Really?" Li Haomiao's voice was dry, and his fingertips unconsciously dug into his palm.

After a long while, Fang Mushan silently released his hand from Xu Yunfan's.

"real or fake?"

"real."

"I do not believe!"

Xu Yunfan did not answer, but slowly raised his right arm.

The moment the five fingers were extended, a burst of energy suddenly erupted, and the surrounding air seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, condensing into five visible turbid white vortices.

As he closed his fingers, the cyclone suddenly collapsed.

"boom!"

A deafening explosion like tearing silk resounded through the air, followed by a powerful gust of wind carrying a clear, melodious sound like a jade chime, and dust and sand scattered in a ring from the ground.

The air blast whipped up Li Haomiao's sideburns, and a fine tremor ran through his exposed skin.

That was the unique phenomenon of "Jade Bones and Golden Sound" in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, a resonance between heaven and earth caused by the force entering the marrow!
Only by cultivating the Golden Marrow can one, without relying on martial arts techniques, purely absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through the body, strengthening the body through the inhalation and exhalation of the mouth and nose.

Over time, the body will be cleansed and transformed by the spiritual energy.

Fang Mushan staggered back half a step, squeezing out a broken gasp: "...Golden Marrow and Mercury Essence, resounding and shaking mountains...you actually crossed the threshold of Grandmaster!"

Seeing Fang Mushan slump to the ground, looking somewhat lost in thought, Xu Yunfan was speechless.

You are like a fish stranded in a dry rut, I hate that you have transformed into a roc and soared into the sky.

In short, I'm afraid my brother will suffer, but I'm also afraid he'll drive a Land Rover.

After a long while, Li Haomiao walked over and patted Xu Yunfan on the shoulder.

"I never expected you to surpass us so much in such a short time. It's hard to imagine. You must have suffered a lot, right?"

Seeing Li Haomiao's concerned eyes, Xu Yunfan felt a warmth in his heart. He grinned and said, "It wasn't for nothing that I carried you all the way out."

As dusk settled, the mountain wind, carrying the sound of pine trees, swept across Shenxiao Peak.

The three composed themselves, knowing this was not the place to talk, and quickly descended the mountain via the bluestone steps.

The three exchanged a glance, tacitly restraining their emotions; this was not the place to reminisce.

"Shall we go down the mountain and find a place to have a drink?"

Fang Mushan said something, then stomped his toes on the bluestone, his body leaping three zhang like a tiger breaking free of its cage.

Li Haomiao was not to be outdone. He secretly channeled his Blood Dragon Force into his sleeve, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the stone steps beneath his feet.

The two were determined to outdo each other, wanting to test the current level of Xu Yunfan, who had already reached the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

Xu Yunfan chuckled upon seeing this, but did not point it out.

His steps appeared leisurely, yet it was as if clouds were supporting his feet, and the dragon scales on his armor trembled with each step, emitting a clear and melodious jade-like sound.

Despite the two ahead pushing themselves to the limit, he remained half a step behind, his clothes fluttering as he maintained perfect breathing. "Damn it!"

Fang Mushan glanced back and saw Xu Yunfan's effortless demeanor. He gritted his teeth and activated the power of his secret medicinal wine, causing his skin to turn crimson.

Li Haomiao suddenly changed his move, transforming his Blood Dragon Force into the flapping wings of a dragon and sparrow, increasing his speed by another 30%. This was a secret martial art of the Great Zhou Imperial Court, known as the flapping wings of a dragon and sparrow.

The stone steps receded rapidly beneath the three people's feet.

As they passed a cliff, Xu Yunfan suddenly pointed his fingers together like a sword, and a burst of energy shot out from his fingertips, striking from a distance.

The powerful energy arced through the air, severing the ancient vines hanging from the cliff edge at their roots.

The moment the vines fell, he lightly touched the vines with his toes to gain leverage, and his whole body soared into the air like a golden roc, instantly passing over the heads of the two people.

"A 'wisp of vital energy' from the Marrow Cleansing Realm?!"

Li Haomiao's pupils suddenly contracted.

This skill of using fingers as a sword is enough to show that Xu Yunfan is not a beginner in the Marrow Cleansing Technique, but has been immersed in it for quite some time.

When the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, panting heavily, Xu Yunfan was already standing with his hands behind his back under the city gate.

The night breeze lifted the tassels of his Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace at his waist, and the mace resonated with the dragon scale armor, producing a soft buzzing sound. The sound was a celestial melody produced when the power entered his marrow and occasionally interacted with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The great dragon of the human body is hidden in the spine, which is the foundation of martial arts training.

A martial artist in the Marrow Cleansing Realm uses internal energy as a guide to cultivate a marrow-like force, similar to mercury, that rises along each vertebra, reaching the occipital bone and descending to the coccyx, circulating continuously.

At noon and midnight, waves rise in the marrow sea, and golden nectar and jade liquid surge from the depths of the Great Dragon. When they interact with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they will produce a clear and melodious sound, which is the origin of "jade bones and golden sound".

Even if an ordinary martial artist enters the Marrow Cleansing Realm, their marrow power will only flow like a gentle stream.

When Xu Yunfan perfected the Thousand-Pound Mountain-Shaking Hammer Technique, he triggered the "Earth Vein Bone Forging" phenomenon. He also received blood and qi replenishment from the Dragon Scale Armor and the assistance of ginseng qi. The daily flow of demon flesh and blood essence in the small world secret realm caused his marrow power to surge like a great river.

The golden marrow flowing between the spines was already faintly showing the shape of a dragon coiling around a mountain, which was a sign that the "Red Dragon Coiling Mountain Strength" had been cultivated to the "Marrow Transformation into Dragon Form" stage!

But that's it. The Thousand-Pound Mountain-Shaking Hammer Technique has reached its peak. Beyond that, one can only practice the Marrow Cleansing Exercise of the Amitabha Temple to condense marrow power, change one's physique, and strengthen one's bones.

Fang Mushan plopped down on the bluestone, sweat pouring down his face: "Damn it... your legs are too fast!"

At the foot of the mountain, the "Xuanxiao City," built in conjunction with the Qingwei Mountain Daoist sect, is brightly lit, with bustling crowds in the market. Cultivators and ordinary merchants mingle, giving it a touch of the vibrant atmosphere of the martial arts world.

This place is considered the family compound of Dao Sect disciples. If you walk in, you might bump into an old man whose ancestors once served as elders in the Dao Sect. It is a very important place in the Dao Sect, and there are even Dao Sect disciples on duty at the gate.

Upon entering the city, Li Haomiao led the way into a three-story restaurant with a plaque that read "Zui Xian Ju" (Drunken Immortal Abode).

The waiter, with his sharp eyes, noticed that the three men had an extraordinary bearing. Xu Yunfan, in particular, was still in his armor, and the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace on his back gleamed with a cold light. Li Haomiao and Fang Mushan even had Daoist sect credentials on their waist tags. The waiter quickly led them to the private room on the top floor.

"Bring ten jars of 'Cold Pool Fragrance' and your signature dishes, and be quick!" Fang Mushan slapped out a gold ingot, his voice so loud it made the windowpanes tremble slightly.

Before long, the table was filled with hearty dishes such as roasted deer tendons and stewed snow chicken with lingzhi mushrooms. The mud seal on the wine jar had just been broken, and the pungent aroma of the wine mixed with the bitter and pungent smell of the medicinal herbs rushed out.

As dawn broke outside the window, seven or eight empty jars had already rolled under the feet of the three of them.

Fang Mushan slumped on the table, muttering, "What's so great about the hammering techniques of Tiangong Cave?" Li Haomiao, clutching Xu Yunfan's hand with hazy eyes, said, "This time... I'm determined to reclaim the Great Zhou and let the people live in peace..."

The golden patterns on the dragon scale armor shimmered in the faint morning light. Xu Yunfan gazed at the gradually whitening sky outside the window, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the mouth of the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace.

The table was littered with cups and plates. Fang Mushan was slumped back in his chair, snoring loudly, while Li Haomiao was fast asleep at his desk, his sleeves still stained with undried wine.

Last night, the three of them drank until dawn. Fang Mushan slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Ten more jars!" Li Haomiao, his eyes blurry with drunkenness, was still pounding with energy and insisted on competing with Xu Yunfan to see who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
