Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 307 Marrow Cleansing Success
Xu Yunfan grinned and patted the bow without a care: "This bow has a terrible temper. It thinks I'm not good enough for it. But it doesn't matter. It's a divine weapon, after all. It has to be tempered. In a while, I'll give it a good 'training,' and it will naturally behave itself."

These divine weapons, as long as they are frequently used and thoroughly refined with pure Yang energy, can be easily controlled. As for whether they fully recognize their master, Xu Yunfan does not care.

Forced melons are not sweet, but they are very thirst-quenching.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that the quality of the Sky-Splitting Cloud-Piercing Bow was probably the best in the Burial Sword Abyss. Given time, it might really develop its own spiritual essence, undergo a qualitative change in the weapon, and advance further to become an eighth-tier divine weapon.

Thinking this through, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but clench his fingers, his knuckles striking the cold iron body of the Sky-Piercing Bow to produce a clear and resonant sound.

The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. It was a divine weapon, extremely rare in the world, and he carelessly patted the arrogant weapon: "What an arrogant thing, thinking I'm not good enough for you?"

As the bow trembled, a few sparks burst forth, seemingly in response to his provocation.

"We have a long future ahead of us..." Xu Yunfan muttered to himself.

"I will refine myself with pure Yang energy every day, and fight with the blood of the enemy. I'll see if your archery spirit is tougher, or my fist is tougher!"

Upon hearing this, Bi Yuan's wide sleeves fluttered even without wind. His eyes showed admiration as if he were looking at a rough gem. A smile flashed across his face as he nodded slightly: "Good, that's bold."

Cui Yu gave Xu Yunfan a deep look and said in a low voice, "Both of these divine weapons are extraordinary, especially the Sky-Splitting Cloud-Piercing Bow... If it can be truly tamed, it will surely become a great weapon in the future."

Bi Yuan hadn't expected that Xu Yunfan would be able to pull out two extraordinary divine weapons in one go.

At this moment, Xu Yunfan, clad in dragon scale armor with a faint glow, had the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace coiled on his back, and the Mountain-Shaking Hammer at his waist seemed to have earth veins flowing within its patterns. With the addition of this ferocious bow, he was practically a walking tomb of soldiers.

It's absolutely luxurious!

Even Shen Wuyai, the vice sect leader who had been standing silently to the side, turned and left without saying a word.

Since the founding of the Daoist sect, who has ever possessed four or five divine weapons...?

Will you be able to use it all?

"..."
-
A full month has passed since Xu Yunfan entered the Burial Sword Abyss, yet he remains vigilant.

On this day, before dawn, the wind on the mountaintop was as sharp as a knife.

Xu Yunfan sat cross-legged on the Xuanyu platform, his surging blood energy condensing into crimson clouds in the cold wind.

His eyes were closed, his spine undulated like a dragon, and a roar like a surging river emanated from his body. With the "Yijing Marrow Cleansing Technique" pushed to its limit, the golden marrow in his body began to swirl continuously. Since yesterday, the marrow in his body had been cleansed by the force and transformed into golden marrow.

Xu Yunfan's entire skeleton seemed to be forged by an invisible giant hammer, vibrating at high frequencies and producing a metallic clang.

The surging medicinal power of the Purple Gold Bone Forging Pill that he had previously swallowed transformed into hundreds of purple streams. As the blood and qi energy propelled by the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Technique surged, they burrowed into the bone crevices like living things.

If someone could see with their divine eye, they would surely discover that wherever the purple medicinal streams passed, fine lightning patterns appeared on the bone surface, and fine purple lightning, as thin as a hair, constantly burst forth from the depths of the marrow cavity, refining the originally turbid marrow into a brilliant golden color.

This is precisely the prototype of the "golden body" recorded in the Amitabha Temple's scriptures, which Buddhists call "indestructible Vajra" and Taoists call "jade bones naturally formed".

At this moment, every bone in his body was like black iron that had been forged by thunder and fire, and the flow of his bone marrow even brought with it the sound of wind and thunder.

Occasionally, stray purple lightning would burst from his body, drawing upon the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, transforming into wisps of electric arcs that occasionally flickered around him.

'Through your continuous cultivation, aided by the power of the Purple-Gold Bone-Forging Pill and blessed by the power of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King, your proficiency in the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Technique has increased.' 'Through your continuous cultivation…'

Looking at the proficiency indicators that kept flashing on his screen, Xu Yunfan let out a soft breath and glanced at the proficiency of the Yi Jing Xi Sui Gong on his attribute panel.

I'm only three points away from achieving the 1000-point proficiency mark.

After three months of arduous practice day and night, in addition to achieving minor mastery of both the Dragon Tiger Hibernation Technique and the Eight Desolate Dragon Fall Mace Technique, the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Technique was practiced most diligently.

After three months of relentless and arduous training, Xu Yunfan's blood and energy were already boiling like magma.

At this moment, he sat cross-legged on the Xuanyu Platform atop Qingwei Mountain, his skin covered in bulging veins like coiled dragons. With each breath, he drew upon the sparse spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which mingled with the surging medicinal power within his body.

As the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Technique reached its peak, he suddenly let out a low shout, and his bones suddenly burst forth with a dense series of crackling sounds, like thousands of jade beads falling to the ground, or like the clanging of metal.

'Your Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Technique has been greatly perfected.'

A notification appeared in the field of vision.

In an instant, a vast amount of warm current surged within Xu Yunfan's body, filling his limbs and bones.

Under the warm currents generated by the attribute panel, the bones were repeatedly forged as if by an invisible hammer. The originally dense bone material crumbled inch by inch, and then rapidly reorganized under the influence of blood and pure yang energy.

A pale golden fluid seeps from deep within the bone marrow, and wherever it passes, fine, mysterious patterns appear on the surface of the bones, resembling star maps or talismans—a sign of the completion of "Jade Marrow and Golden Bones."

Suddenly, the bones inside his body erupted with a series of popping sounds like popping beans, which then emitted a clear and melodious echo like a bell or chime.

With such strength, even a powerful weapon would likely struggle to leave a mark.

Xu Yunfan was shocked. No wonder the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Technique of Amitabha Temple is known as the number one marrow cleansing technique, and no one has been able to compete with it for thousands of years. With just this golden body, it can withstand the treasure with its bare hands.

He now finally believes that Li Haomiao once said that there was an old monk at Amitabha Temple who had performed the great feat of knocking away divine soldiers with his bare hands.

He slowly rose, his limbs stretched out, his spine arched like a dragon's spine, able to twist to incredible angles at will with any move, yet instantly straightening when exerting force, transmitting power to every part of his body without any stagnation.

The broken bone fragments within his body healed instantly under the cleansing influence of his blood and qi. The newly formed periosteum gleamed with an amber luster, concealing vitality, making his blood and qi even more abundant.

The marrow generates blood, and the blood transformed from the golden marrow is tinged with a reddish-gold hue.

What caught Xu Yunfan's attention most was the marrow cleansing effect after achieving mastery, which allowed his perception to completely transcend the boundaries of the mortal world.

The flight path of the flying insects a hundred feet away was clearly discernible, and one could even glimpse the faint purple halo of flowing spiritual energy.

The rustling of pine needles in the mountain breeze, the rustling of earthworms wriggling three feet underground, and even the rumbling of one's own blood rushing through the veins—if you listen carefully, they are all as distinct as the beating of a drum.

Xu Yunfan's nostrils twitched slightly. The lingering fragrance of the medicine he had taken, the earthy smell from the ground, the metallic rust... all sorts of scents were broken down into individual threads. He could even smell the sandalwood scent that had lingered on Senior Sister Qingluan's clothes from three days ago.

As he pondered this, he reached out and lightly touched the stone platform with his fingertips. He was able to sense the edges and corners of the quartz particles inside the rock. His skin's sensitivity to changes in airflow allowed him to predict the trajectory of his opponent's moves.
