Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 397 Reshaping the Meridians
"Junior brother, you're too kind. The Meridian Opening Pill doesn't have any special requirements; it can be refined using the Hundred Bone Connection Technique."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunfan took out several dark red blood crystals from his Sumeru bag and gently placed them on the table.

The surface of the blood crystal glowed with an eerie scarlet light, and a rich aura of life force swirled around it.

The disciple's expression suddenly froze. He reached out, picked up a blood crystal, and brought it close to his eyes to examine it closely.

After a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he clicked his tongue in amazement: "The blood energy is so rich, it must have refined at least a hundred strong men... What a treasure!"

He looked up at Xu Yunfan, his tone more inquisitive, "Junior brother is quite the hidden talent. This blood crystal is of superior quality, one of which is worth five contribution points."

Xu Yunfan nodded slightly, but his heart skipped a beat.

Although he knew that the blood crystal had a sinister origin, he never expected that it was refined from the essence of living people. These demonic sect disciples are truly not human!

There were two hundred such blood crystals in the Sumeru bag.

Seeing his silence, the disciple assumed he thought the price was too low and added, "Ordinary blood crystals are worth at most three points, but these few of yours... tsk tsk, they must have been refined by men with pure blood and qi, whose primordial yang has not been depleted, right?"

Xu Yunfan remained noncommittal, simply saying, "If that's not enough, I have others."

The disciple in charge became interested and leaned forward slightly: "Oh? Junior brother, why don't you take them all out and have a look?"

Without wasting words, Xu Yunfan raised his hand and waved it, and a jet-black flying sword flew out of his Sumeru bag, its blade wreathed in wisps of Yin energy.

The disciple's eyes lit up. He reached out and took the sword, flicking his fingertips lightly across the blade, instantly producing a ghostly hum.

"Mysterious Yin Sword Embryo, 42 points!"

He made his offer without hesitation, then looked at Xu Yunfan and asked, "Anything else?"

Xu Yunfan's lips curled slightly as he took out three bottles of Jade Marrow Nourishing Heart Pills from his bosom. The bottles were crystal clear, and one could vaguely see the pills inside shimmering with a faint spiritual light.

The disciple in charge opened the bottle, sniffed it lightly, and immediately beamed with joy: "Top-grade pills, twenty points per bottle, three bottles for a total of sixty points!"

Xu Yunfan pondered for a moment, then decided to use blood crystals to completely replenish the remaining amount. This item was useless to him, and besides, he felt physically uncomfortable after using it.

As I walked out of the Joyful Courtyard, the setting sun was like blood, casting long shadows on the pillars.

The Meridian Opening Pill in Xu Yunfan's hand exuded a bone-chilling coldness in his palm. The purplish-black patterns flowing on the surface of the pill writhed like living things, emitting waves of icy aura.

His fingertips trembled slightly, and in a daze, he heard a faint hissing sound coming from within the pill, as if it were a living thing.

Back in the simple tiled house, the dull thud of the wooden door latch falling was particularly clear in the silence.

Xu Yunfan ripped open his clothes, took off his dragon scale armor, and discarded his ultimate mortal remains, revealing his strong, iron-like abdominal muscles.

Just as the pill was placed three inches below the navel, the skin suddenly moved on its own without any wind, revealing spiderweb-like bluish-black patterns. It was as if hundreds of thin snakes were frantically slithering under the skin, pushing out strange bulges.

This elixir caused his flesh and blood to fall into chaos.

"It's really weird..."

His expression remained unchanged, and his right hand, with fingers joined like a sword, condensed the Ten Extremes True Qi into a golden ray about an inch long at his fingertips.

Have you thought this through?

The originally soft, drooping remains of the Supreme Dao suddenly moved without wind, slowly unfolding in the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The surface of the human skin rippled with water-like patterns, each wrinkle adjusting its position on its own, as if an unseen hand was meticulously ironing it. Xu Yunfan's pupils contracted slightly; Yu Congling's face, which should have been lifeless, now displayed a lifelike expression under the influence of spiritual energy.

The slight downturn at the corners of the mouth, the subtle furrows at the brows, even the trembling of the eyelashes when the eyelids open and close are all clearly visible. Even more eerie is that the fatal sword wound on the human skin's neck is wriggling and healing, with fine, hair-like buds of flesh sprouting and intertwining at the edges of the tear.

"This Meridian Opening Pill..."

As the lips of the molted remains opened and closed, her throat rose and fell, emitting a clear, cold female voice with the sound of metal clashing against stone, "Planting it will etch the mark of the Yuanmo Sect into your very bones. At that time, every inch of your newly formed meridians will be wrapped with demonic patterns, and the exclusive demonic path technique of Hundred Bones Connecting to the Netherworld will seep into your very bones."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but chuckle: "Fairy Yu is joking. This is the only path I have left."

Yu Congling said, "You can go to the Wancheng Sword Sect. With my endorsement, the Wancheng Sword Sect will definitely guide you into the sect. At that time, you can cultivate my Wancheng Sword Bone and reshape your meridians."

Xu Yunfan didn't even lift his eyelids: "Thank you for your kindness, but now that I've become a disciple of the Yuanshi Sect, which righteous sect would believe a disciple of the demonic path if I were to leave?"

Before Yu Congling could speak, Xu Yunfan spread his five fingers, and dark golden true energy in his palm wrapped around Yu Congling's remains like a chain, instantly drawing it in.

The human skin trembled violently, and the sword wound on its neck suddenly emitted a blinding blue light, as if trying to break free of its restraints.

"Why is Fairy Yu in such a hurry?"

Xu Yunfan traced his fingertip across the Tianling acupoint on the human skin, and the Ten Extremes True Qi condensed into a Nine Palaces Seal at the acupoint. "When I reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I will send you to find the Wancheng Sword Sect."

The struggle of the remains suddenly stopped, and Yu Congling's voice was tinged with sarcasm: "I've been by your side the whole time. Do you think I would believe what you say?"

Xu Yunfan chuckled lightly, without answering, but simply folded the sealed remains into a square shape and stuffed them into the inner layer of his close-fitting dragon scale armor.

This remnant of the Supreme Dao is of great use. If Yu Congling were to acquire some puppetry technique in the future and refine and fill it with, it would definitely be a great help.

With a soft "hiss," Xu Yunfan's fingertip, condensed with extremely sharp energy, sliced ​​through the skin. Before any blood could seep out, the Meridian Opening Pill, like a leech attracted by blood, actively burrowed into the wound.

Then, an extremely bizarre scene unfolded.

The flesh at the wound suddenly rolled and wriggled, and in the blink of an eye, it healed completely.

The next moment, Xu Yunfan shuddered violently, and a muffled sound like tree roots breaking through the soil came from his abdomen.

Under the internal vision of the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, one can see the pill burst open with thousands of purple threads at the junction of blood and flesh in the dantian, piercing into the internal organs like living things.

The most horrifying part was the spine, where those purple threads climbed upwards along the bone marrow cavity, bringing excruciating pain with every inch they advanced.

"hiss……"

Xu Yunfan gasped. He had been fully prepared, but the blood from his clenched teeth splattered onto the prayer mat.

Under the internal vision of the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, one can see the medicinal power condensing into a vortex at the Qi Sea, with countless whisker-like things piercing into the nearby organs.

The most painful part is the spine, as if thousands of red-hot steel needles are climbing up the bone marrow, forcibly opening up the originally blocked meridians.

Xu Yunfan dared not delay and immediately activated the Hundred Bones Connecting Technique to guide the medicinal power and begin to rebuild the meridians in his body.

As the Hundred Bones Connecting Technique was activated, a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound came from deep within the spine, as if countless tiny ice spikes were growing inside the bone marrow cavity.

Xu Yunfan's forehead veins bulged, and his ten fingers dug deeply into the prayer mat, his knuckles turning white from excessive force.

(I got back late today, so here are just two chapters for now. I'll keep working hard tomorrow. Thank you everyone!)
