Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 402 Reconstruction Completed
Many disciples of Hundred Desires Peak knew that this newly initiated disciple possessed a very strong pure Yang aura.

In the days that followed, the area outside Xu Yunfan's tiled house gradually became lively.

The disciples of Baiyu Peak, dressed in light gauze robes, either leaned against the peach trees, gently waving their fans, or leaned against the corridor pillars, playing with their jade pendants, but their eyes always seemed to glance at the tightly closed wooden door.

"Is Junior Brother Xu there? I recently acquired a pot of spirit wine and have come to invite you to drink with me."

"I've heard that you're physically strong, Junior Brother. I have a copy of the 'Dragon and Tiger Intercourse Technique' here. Why don't we study it together?"

"I always feel that my energy channels are not flowing smoothly when I cultivate, and I would like to ask my junior brother to take a look..."

"..."

The sweet, powdery scent mingled with the fragrance of peach blossoms, lingering around the tiled roof.

The male disciple, who had feminine features, banged on the door with an air of bravado, but concealed a cultivation tool in his sleeve. The female cultivators deliberately jingled the silver bells on their ankles as their skirts fluttered.

Even in the dead of night, fingernails would gently scratch the window frame, accompanied by faint, labored breathing.

Xu Yunfan remained indoors and did not go out.

More and more silk handkerchiefs were tied to the peach branches outside, like a group of spiders weaving webs, patiently waiting for their prey to emerge from their burrows.

The disciples outside the courtyard gate came and went.

Seeing that Xu Yunfan did not respond, he could only leave reluctantly.

Within Hundred Desires Peak, you can fight each other in private, but if you make a big fuss and damage houses, that's a serious crime.

The buildings on Baiyu Peak were all arranged according to the preferences of Baihua Zhenren.

Until one day, a golden hairpin suddenly pierced through the window paper, its tip flashing with a cold, eerie blue light, and was caught between two fingers three inches from his brow.

"Junior Brother Xu, I have discovered an opportunity. If I am not careful, I might be able to advance to the late stage of Qi Refining in one step. Why don't you go and take a look?"

"An opportunity?" Xu Yunfan sneered, crushing the poisoned hairpin. "It's probably a soul-guiding banner on the road to the underworld."

He didn't bother to respond, but simply let his pure yang energy slowly spread out.

Upon sensing this, a woman in the late stage of Qi Refining standing outside the door turned extremely pale.

This seemingly pure yang energy has become somewhat mixed, clearly indicating that it has broken through its initial stage.

She immediately disregarded her image, stood outside Xu Yunfan's door with her hands on her hips, and shouted, "Which slut beat me to it? If I catch her, I'll skin you alive!"

Xu Yunfan's mind stirred slightly. Having completely refined Hua Xiangrong's true essence, he couldn't help but have some thoughts.

But he quickly suppressed those thoughts.

The woman who was shouting and cursing in front of his courtyard gate was no ordinary person. Unlike Hua Xiangrong, who was a low-level, marginal disciple of the Yuanmo Sect, she was a direct descendant of Baihua Zhenren.

Although those in the late Qi Refining stage are still considered consumables, they are eventually given some importance. In any case, if a disciple in the late Qi Refining stage cultivates properly, perhaps another Foundation Establishment True Person can emerge.

Although we are cultivating the same Dharma and the same path, it does not mean that this path can only accommodate one Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"It's a bit of a pity..."

If he were to consume the woman in front of his door—no, to subdue and devour her—his true essence would become even more concentrated. Given the opportunity, he could then rely on the Martial Dao Crystal to forge a foundation for divine martial arts.

On this day, Xu Yunfan finally awoke from his meditation.

Xu Yunfan slowly opened his eyes, golden light flowing in his pupils like molten gold surging, and his aura was more refined and profound than a year ago.

As he stretched his body, a continuous series of cracking sounds erupted from his bones, like a thousand black iron beads rolling and colliding in a bronze furnace. Every inch of his muscle gleamed with a dark golden luster, and beneath his skin, one could vaguely see true essence surging like mercury in his meridians.

As the great dragon of the spine stretched out segment by segment, it stirred up visible ripples in the air, causing the dust within a three-zhang radius to be shaken into the air, and the house shook three times.

"call!!"

A breath of stale air was exhaled, which unexpectedly eroded the stone wall with spiderweb-like cracks.

Xu Yunfan looked down and examined his palms. He saw that there were thin streams of crimson-gold true essence flowing between the lines of his palms. With a gentle clench, several streams of qi that distorted the air burst out from between his fingers.

Most astonishingly, the True Martial Millstone in the dantian has now solidified like cast gold, and each rotation causes all 365 major acupoints in the body to resonate.

The protective aura that originally required deliberate activation now flows naturally like breathing, forming a layer of true essence armor on the skin that is as thin as a cicada's wing yet stronger than refined steel.

He suddenly flicked his finger, and a wisp of refined true energy shot out, snapping a peach tree ten feet away from the window in two.

The cross-section is as smooth as a mirror, which is actually the glass-like crystalline layer formed by the instantaneously vaporized wood under high temperature.

"The True Martial Devouring Demon Scripture... is almost complete."

Xu Yunfan smiled slightly, feeling his heart pounding as if the earth itself were vibrating.

Now, he practices the True Martial Path, and his physical strength alone is enough to withstand the bombardment of magic weapons at the late stage of Qi Refining. Moreover, his true essence reserves are more than three times that of an ordinary Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator.

What excited him most was that the "Hundred Bones Connection Technique" had finally reached its peak.

At this moment, looking inward at oneself, one sees 365 main meridians shining like a starry river, and 129,600 branch meridians densely covering the body like a spider web, all radiating a glass-like luster under the infusion of true essence.

Each acupoint transforms into a miniature vortex, its inhalation and exhalation echoing the Zhenwu millstone in the dantian, forming a profound diagram of the celestial sphere's rotation.

The changes brought about by the completion of the meridian system far exceeded expectations. The speed of the flow of true essence increased more than tenfold. What originally required three cycles to complete can now be done in an instant.

The most amazing thing is the tiny energy channels hidden between the muscle fibers, which allow every inch of flesh and blood to directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, completely breaking the shackles of traditional cultivation that must go through the dantian.

Xu Yunfan suddenly formed a sword shape with his fingers, and a burst of true energy shot out from his fingertips.

Unlike its usual straight trajectory, this true essence drew seven meandering arcs in the air, ultimately striking seven falling peach blossoms simultaneously.

This is precisely the mystery of the "Hundred Bones Connecting to the Mysterious," which allows true essence to switch and flow freely between any meridians as easily as one's own limbs.

No wonder, no wonder there are techniques like the Hundred Bone Connection Technique and the Meridian Opening Pill.

It is likely that many disciples of the Yuanshi Sect will rely on this to reshape their internal meridians.

"It's done!"

Xu Yunfan breathed a long sigh of relief; the pent-up frustration in his chest finally dissipated.

He felt the surging true energy within his body; the 365 major acupoints shone like stars, and the 129,600 branch meridians flowed like rivers.

This body, having undergone countless trials and tribulations, has become the most perfect foundation for cultivation.

Although it may be something acquired later in life and difficult to compare with what one is born with, it is already excellent for Xu Yunfan, whose talent is average.

"The foundation of the Great Way has been laid; what follows will be a natural progression."

The day the cultivation technique is perfected will be the time to condense the martial arts essence and forge the foundation of divine martial arts.

Only then can he truly break free from the "talent" trap and gain a foothold in the dog-eat-dog world of the Yuanmo Sect.
