Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 282 Minor Success in Marrow Cleansing
The young Taoist priest suddenly coughed as he spoke. It turned out that he had been choked by the Xuanwu Marrow Cleansing Soup steaming in the medicine barrel. The tortoise shell fragments floating in the soup were emanating a powerful aura of a demon beast.

Demon flesh and blood!
These are all great products!!
Xu Yunfan finally understood why so many people aspired to join the six top sects, and were even willing to become menial disciples.

Look, if these things were used by Tiangong Cave, they would probably go bankrupt after only one or two uses.

Qingsong covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, afraid that his cough would be unseemly. He smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xu, please don't mind. As the second-in-command of the sect leader, you can only make do with this for now. In a few days, there will be more tonics that are tailored to the martial arts you are practicing."

Xu Yunfan could no longer move his feet. After Qingsong delivered the medicine box and medicine bucket into the courtyard, two women dressed in green gauze walked gracefully from under the corridor.

The woman on the left is tall and slender with snow-white skin, almond-shaped eyes full of spring, and lips like a dot of cinnabar. Underneath her light silk robe, one can vaguely see her slender waist, which can be encircled by one hand. Her steps are like a willow swaying in the wind, yet they contain hidden strength, clearly indicating that she is a martial artist.

Moreover, his martial arts level is quite high, at least he has mastered the basics of tendons, bones and skin. It's just that it's unknown what kind of martial arts he practices, as his physique doesn't show any muscle at all.

The woman on the right has a full figure, her hair is styled with a hairpin, and her phoenix eyes are filled with a smile. Her breasts are half-hidden under the light gauze, and the gold bell on her wrist tinkles with her movements, which makes her jade-like arms look like lotus roots and her fingertips look like carved jade.

Both women possessed stunning beauty, yet their temperaments differed—one aloof and the other alluring. When they stood on opposite sides, they resembled plum blossoms against a backdrop of peonies, complementing each other perfectly.

"This is……"

"These two senior sisters came here specifically to help their senior brother learn how to use auxiliary medicines."

Xu Yunfan frowned slightly, about to politely decline, when Qingsong smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xu, please don't refuse. These two senior sisters, 'Qingluan' and 'Chishao,' specialize in medicinal bath treatments for true disciples. They are knowledgeable about meridians and acupoints. Without their help, this 'Xuanwu Marrow Cleansing Soup' would probably waste most of its medicinal power."

After saying that, she blinked and said, "Don't worry, senior brother. The two senior sisters' 'Nine Revolutions Pushing the Palace Hand' can almost perfectly absorb most of the medicinal power into your body."

The disciple whom the sect leader had just accepted was placed in the second seat, only half a step behind the chief disciple.

But in terms of true importance, Xu Yunfan, who is young and exceptionally capable, is undoubtedly more important.

Qingsong had never seen Bi Yuan so courteous to scholars, let alone have two masters.

This is something that has never happened before in the Daoist sect.

Xu Yunfan caught a glimpse of the tortoise shell fragments in the medicinal soup, which were emitting bloody vapors. Knowing that this thing was domineering, he finally nodded in acquiescence.

Seeing this, the two women gracefully stepped forward. With a slight lift of their delicate hands, their sleeves emitted a fragrant aroma. One held a jade spoon and stirred the medicinal soup, while the other spoke softly, "Please remove your outer robe, senior brother. After you are placed in the tub, you need to use your qi to guide the medicinal power to circulate throughout your limbs and bones..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Yunfan's expression became slightly unnatural, but he saw that Qingsong had already tactfully retreated outside the courtyard and closed the vermilion gate behind him.

Three hours later, Xu Yunfan was enveloped in medicinal mist, and the Xuanwu Marrow Cleansing Soup had turned from crimson to clear. The tortoise shell fragments at the bottom of the bucket had all turned into grayish-white powder.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with golden light, his spine crackling like a dragon's roar, and his pores spewing out pale golden blood energy mixed with blackish-purple impurities—signs of reaching minor success in the "I Ching Marrow Cleansing Exercise."

He glanced at the dozens of notification messages that appeared on the attribute panel. Just this one dose of Xuanwu Marrow Cleansing Soup had already given him over a hundred points of proficiency in the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Technique within these three hours.

'Your pores are open, absorbing the blood and medicinal power of the Xuanwu Marrow Cleansing Soup. Under the influence of the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Technique, your proficiency has greatly improved.' '...'

The screen was filled with proficiency prompts, and in just three hours, he had reached the minor success level of the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Technique.

Jade-colored patterns are faintly visible beneath the skin, and the bones make a sound like gold and jade clashing when they collide.

All the imperfections accumulated from previous practice of the "Thousand-Pound Mountain-Shaking Hammer Technique" were repaired. The muscle fibers were twisted and reorganized like a rope after being forged a hundred times. With a slight clench of the fist, the medicine barrel was cracked.

The golden marrow, like mercury syrup, surged endlessly in the sea of ​​marrow. The originally scattered Crimson Dragon Coiling Mountain Force condensed into nine spiraling energy energies, circulating along the great dragon on the spine to the limbs and bones of the whole body, forming a great cycle.

With a slight exertion of force, a three-inch-long, almost tangible crimson light burst forth from his fingertips, scorching even the air in its path.

This is the unique "external manifestation of strength" of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. If one goes a step further and the strength is condensed to the extreme, creating a Qi Gang, a wisp of Qi Gang can easily pierce through metal and stone.

Most astonishingly, at the spine, the previously obscure flow of energy was broken open by the violent medicinal power, and the golden marrow poured into the bones of the whole body like molten lava.

This is also a sign that the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Technique has reached a minor success. The golden marrow derived from the dragon on the spine begins to flow through the bones of the whole body. In the future, he only needs to slowly hone his skills to gradually improve the marrow power throughout his body. At that time, his strength will reach another level.

Xu Yunfan got up, stepping on the broken pieces of stone, each step leaving a deep footprint on the bluestone slab.

Qingluan and Chishao, standing nearby, stared intently at Xu Yunfan's completely naked body, their eyes wide with wonder and showing no intention of looking away.

Xu Yunfan instantly sensed this and paused slightly in his action of wanting to test his strength. With a single grab, the dragon scale armor not far away came close to him like countless leaves.

The dark golden scales trembled and hummed as if they were alive, each one gleaming with a cold metallic light and sharp edges.

They spun in the air, making a crisp metallic clang as they snapped together, and in the blink of an eye, they coalesced from their scattered state into a streamlined armor outline.

The armor plates first covered both arms, layer upon layer like snake scales. At the elbow joints, a fish gill-like telescopic structure automatically formed. Then, it spread along the shoulders and neck to the torso. The core armor plates on the chest and abdomen faintly revealed the blood patterns of a red dragon coiling around a mountain, resonating with the golden marrow and mercury nectar that Xu Yunfan had cleansed after his marrow was washed.

The armor plates below the waist and hips cascaded down like a waterfall. When the last dragon scale tightened around the throat, the entire suit of armor suddenly contracted, outlining Xu Yunfan's sharp and defined muscles.

A faint crimson light seeped from between the nail seams. At this moment, the dragon scale armor was no longer just a piece of protective gear, but more like a second layer of tendons and bones growing from his skin. Even when he breathed, the armor plates could be seen to rise and fall slightly like the belly of a dragon.

After putting on the Xuan Steel Box containing the ginseng baby and carrying the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace, Xu Yunfan cupped his hands and said, "Senior sisters, thank you for your help. If it weren't for your guidance on promoting blood circulation and taking the medicine, I'm afraid I would have lost a lot of its potency."

Qingluan and Chishao covered their mouths and chuckled. Chishao said, "Senior brother has quite the assets..."

At this point, she said with a slightly seductive look in her eyes, "Senior brother, my sister and I are well-versed in the arts of the Daoist sect. If you are interested in studying them, we can lend you a hand."

Upon hearing this, Qingluan's neck inadvertently flushed a rosy pink.
